After leaving Miko’s place, Edward got into his car that was parked nearby and started driving.

“Hah~. I messed up. The Don is definitely doing this so that he can see my cards. Well, I guess it’s my fault. I remained mysterious for too long.”

He sighed again and then started typing in a number into his digital dashboard.

“It’s me.”

(Ah, Code Breaker. How did it go with the Don?)

A female voice echoed in the car from the call.

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

(Huh? Don’t tell me you messed up? That’s rare.)

“I got too cocky.”

(Yeah, you tend to do that.)

A laugh echoed in the room.

“I wonder if you’ll continue laughing after I tell you the punishment I was given was to take the Red Light District by tomorrow morning.”

(…..Huh? Are you serious?)

“I am, and guess what? You guys are going to help me.”

Edward started laughing when the one he was talking to went silent.

“I’m heading towards you now. The Don most likely will be watching so we can’t afford to put on a dull show.”

Edward smirked.

“We’re gonna go all out.”

Half an hour later, Edward arrived in front of a building that had a sign that said “Azalea Brothel” on it. He got out of his vehicle and entered the brothel.

“Oh, it’s Edward.”

“Hey, Eddy, wanna have fun with me tonight? I’ve barely had any customers lately.”

“Ed, let’s have some drinks together!”

The moment he walked in, he was greeted by the girls inside. They all spoke to him with genuine friendliness as they were all close to him.

“Not tonight ladies. It’s a code black.”

“?!”

All the girls suddenly became serious. They even started to send their customers away despite their complaining.

“Edward, the madame is upstairs.”

Edward nodded and headed to the second floor. He then walked until he reached a dead-end at the end of the hall. He placed his hand on the wall and a light scanned over his hand. Moments later the wall opened up and Edward walked inside the new room. The room was filled with computers and lots of other high tech equipment.

“You’re here faster than I expected.”

A woman who looked like she was in her late teens or early twenties could be seen sitting in a chair in front of a large computer monitor. She was dressed in a burgundy dress that showed off her slim figure. Her hair and eyes were a bright brown, she had an oval face and full red lips.

“There’s no time to waste after all. Where’s Yota?”

“I’m here.”

A man walked from behind one of the machines carrying a huge gun in his hand. He was tan-skinned, tall and muscular with curly black hair and brown eyes.

“I heard that we have our hands full tonight, so I was getting everything ready.”

“Good work. You’re better than your lazy sister here.”

Edward looked at the woman who was now frowning.

“Why aren’t you getting ready too, Bella?”

“I was busy contacting all of our guys who we planted in all the top gangs in the city. Someone has to direct them.”

“Will there be any problems with them acting tonight?”

“Of course there are. Do you know how many of them started complaining that they can’t just suddenly make a move?”

“It can’t be helped. It must be done tonight. Don’s orders.”

“Yeah, Yeah. This better work, Code Breaker. The only reason I posed as a brothel owner all these years is because you guaranteed that you could overthrow Bloom Newgate and take down the Pillars if we listened to you.”

“I know. I made the Prince and Crowned Princess of Azalea take up some dangerous jobs, I’m sure to repay you.”

Edward walked up to a capsule-like machine that was in the center of the room.

“Trust me. Siding with Miko is the best decision your country could ever make.”

He placed his hand on a pad and it was scanned; the capsule was opened shortly after. Inside it was a black bodysuit with metal orbs on it. Edward smiled and took up the suit.

“Just like I’ll make Miko realize that allying with me was the best decision.”

A half-hour later, Edward and the Royal siblings came downstairs.

“Princess Bella, Prince Yota, Code Breaker, we’re ready to move.”

When they came down, all the girls who were entertaining customers earlier were all dressed in pink and black military-style clothing and were equipped with either guns or swords, some even both.

“I hope your skills haven’t dulled in the years that we’ve been here.”

Bella was wearing similar clothing to the girls and had two daggers on her waist along with a katana on her back.

“Never, My Princess. We’ve been itching for a fight for who knows how long.”

One of the girls answered.

“Oh? That’s good to hear because tonight we’re going to kill countless.”

Bella showed a savage smile.

“We get a chance to capture a part of this country, we can’t let it slip.”

“That’s why we need to get moving.”

Edward who was wearing his bodysuit, walked past the girls and headed outside.

“What an impatient guy.”

Bella and Yota followed behind him, naturally so did the girls.

“To ensure that no one sees this coming, I’m going to take over all the cameras in this city.”

Edward lifted both hands overhead and his palms started glowing. Suddenly, a pale light fired from his palms and into the sky; the light dispersed and scattered all over the city. The lights moved like they were alive and searched for every camera and entered them. The cameras started short-circuiting for a couple of seconds before returning to normal.

“That should do it. Now all the cameras should be looping the last few minutes allowing us to move freely.”

“It’s impressive no matter how many times I see it, your Inborn ability Hijack. I’m jealous, I wish I could control technology however I please.”

“It’s not as amazing as you make it sound. Unless I’m wearing this suit, I can only control things 100m from me.”

Edward pressed a button on his suit and a helmet formed over his head. He then snapped his fingers and a bike pulled up at his feet.

“You guys have your targets. Destroy those gangs and make their members submit with the help of the guys I planted in the gangs. Don’t worry about the small-time gangs, most of them will surrender when they see that we’ve taken over the city.”

“What about you?”

Bella asked.

“I’m going to take down our biggest obstacle.”

“The Usurpers, huh? Are you going to be okay? You’re not really a fighter. Do you want Yota to back you up?”

Edward started laughing.

“I’ll be fine. We live in a technological era. If I can’t beat them with my fist then I’ll just nuke the fuckers.”

“I see. Well, see you sunrise….Don’t Die.”

“Same to you.”

Edward rode off on his bike leaving the brothel behind.

“…Alright, everyone.”

Bella started cracking her fingers.

“Let’s show this country what the Azalea Country can do!”

Meanwhile, Edward rode through the streets of the city and headed for the center. Static emitted from his body and hit the gadgets that were on the streets and inside the buildings. They all stopped functioning immediately after.

“I can’t afford any news leaks. Maybe I should destroy all of the radio towers and satellites in this area as well.”

His bike started glowing and static the size of lightning bolts flew up into the sky and hit all of their targets in an instant.

“Ugh!”

Edward blacked out for a bit but quickly regained his senses.

“I used my ability too much and won’t be able to use it again for a while……At least I was able to completely isolate this city from the rest of the country….Tch, I can’t deactivate their weapons anymore. I guess I’ll really have to do this the old way.”

His bike accelerated leaving countless confused people in the dust. He quickly arrived at his target, a large villa called Usurp.

“These guys really got cocky after they won the last war. They actually built a villa for themselves in the middle of the city.”

Edward gently kicked the sides of his bike and secret compartments opened up revealing futuristic handguns, rifles, and what seemed like explosives. He equipped them on his body and started walking towards the villa entrance.

“Hey, who’s that?”

Some guards spotted him immediately and pointed their guns at him.

“Who the hell are you?!”

Edward smirked and pointed his machine guns at them.

“Miko sends his regards.”

*BAM!*

Edward and the guards fired at the same. Powerful lasers fired from the guns and clashed causing a huge explosion. The guards were forced back a bit and then saw Edward fly out of the flames with his guns pointing at them.

*BAM!*

They were obliterated the moment Edward squeeze the trigger. Suddenly deafening alarms came from the villa alerting everyone that there was an enemy attack.

“I’m not the type to go to the frontlines myself, but I gotta admit...”

Edward could see dozens of people armed from head to toe charging towards him. They started firing at him and the screen inside his helmet alerted him of the danger. He charged towards the men while evading the shots firing at him and leaped into the air.

“…It’s fun to be a gangster.”

*BAM!* *BAM!*

Explosions devoured the men the moment he pulled the trigger. He landed on the ground and two men simultaneously attacked him from the sides. He kicked the gun out of one of their hands and then blew off the head of the other one. He then grabbed the one he disarmed and threw him in front of him. He was reduced to minced meat after being used to shield bullets aimed at Edward. Edward accelerated forward, leaped over some bullets.

“No, you don’t!”

Several men attacked him midair. They kicked the guns from his hand and then attacked him together. Edward pressed the center of his palms with his fingers and two long blades appeared out of his fist. He spun around and cut the men’s bodies into halves.

“As expected from Bloom’s dogs. You’re well trained.”

He landed on the ground and body parts followed shortly after.

“My suit is built for war. Even if it looks like I’m unarmed I actually have an infinite arsenal at my disposal.”

Edward crossed the bloodstained blades in front of him.

“Come meatheads. I’ll show how terrifying technology can be!”

He suddenly shot forward like a bolt of lightning.

*BAM!*

An explosion of static erupted where he reappeared with people being blown away after being burnt to a crisp.

“Ahhhh!”

Six muscular men wielding 8 foot long claymores attacked Edward from all directions. He pulled his handguns from his waist and blew off the heads of the closest two to him. He then avoided the slash of the third one with a side step and behead him with his hand blade. Blood sprayed from his neck and stained Edward’s suit. By that time, the other three men all froze in their steps with frightened expressions.

“Hey, Hey. Don’t stop now.”

*BAM!*

He blew off two of their heads in an instant.

“Only a fool would hesitate in the face of death.”

“Bastard! Why are you attacking all of a sudden?!”

The last one asked.

“What a stupid question. Will knowing why you were killed console your soul when it reaches hell?”

Edward sighed.

“If you must know, it’s the same reason why a lion rips a gazelle’s throat apart; to survive.”

“Survive? Don’t fuck with us! We didn’t do anything to you!”

“That’s right! You heartless monster!”

“You won’t get away with this!”

The men started cursing Edward, who remained unmoved.

“Are you done releasing your frustrations?”

He put away his guns and hand blades and pulled the broadsword that was on his back.

“If so, I would like to resume sending you all to hell now.”

“You fucker!”

Enraged the men all charged at Edward in unison. They kept charging out of the houses in the villa and headed towards Edward carrying all kinds of weapons and with magic overflowing out their bodies. Edward saw this and smiled. The broadsword in his hand started vibrating with a low hum. Edward swung the blade and it cut through the men like a hot knife cutting through butter. Blood sprayed into the air and then rained down and stained the earth.

“That’s more like it.”

Edward gripped his sword tightly.

“Run towards death without fear! Trample over your allies' corpses just to put a bullet in my head! You’re gangsters, aren’t you?! Then come die like gangsters, you fuckers!”

He charged towards the men who charged at him screaming at the top of their lungs. Body parts flew all over the place as Edward mowed down them down.

“When you get to hell and see Hades, Anubis, Hel, or whatever god or demon down there, be sure to tell them the name of the guy who sent you to there!”

He leaped into the air swung down his sword as he shouted.

“TELL THEM CODE BREAKER SENT YA!!”
