Chapter 16:
Geminus
After departing from the warehouse, Liam and Herald drove in the heavily armed vehicle to the Mohawks base in the west. As Herald drove, he immediately asked "So, Liam... how about that ludicrous display last night?"
Liam answered "Uhhh... it was... garbage to say the least but I hope they'll find a way to turn it around." His tone suggesting his lack of confidence or bravery to admit not knowing what Herald was referring to.
"Meh, I don't know... I'm not that up to date with what the boxers are doing to make themselves strong-" said Herald.
Liam cut him, saying "Wait, you're into boxing?"
Herald answered "Nah, not anymore. I used to be a fighter back in the day but I gave it up."
Liam asked "Why?"
Herald scoffed and answered, "The answer is simple; I stopped enjoying it." His tone suggesting his remorsefulness towards his time as a boxer, "Back when I started, I fought in the ring because I loved it. It was fun and it didnt matter to me who won, as long as it was fun and challenging..." Herald lets out a little sigh "I'll let you in on a little something...." Herald signalled Liam to come close, he continued "When you fight in the ring, don't think too much about what others will think about you. You can defeat any obstacle in your way as long as you know what matters in the ring."
"What matters in the ring?" Asked Liam.
Herald answered "I don't know."
The two became silent as they continue to drive to the Mohawks base. After a few minutes, they arrived at the location. From the outside, it appeared liked there was a big time event, especially since the area was crowded. Arriving at the location, Herald activated the camoflage device on his neck and his face changed, followed by Liam who appeared differently.
"Okay, so here's the plan..." said Herald "We enter through the back door, taking out any nearby witnesses and disgusing ourselves as them, thanks to the camoflage device. And next, Jason mentioned something about a chip so thats where we have to deal with the Mohawks from the inside, and better yet, we'll be seen as those people, meaning we'll have our asses spared from being searched and recieving a beatdown. Any questions?" Asked Herald.
Liam responded "Yeah, one, do you even have a proper plan because what you've just said sounds like its improvisation?"
"Yeah." Herald said, truthfully, surprising Liam. "I don't know this place well and thats why we have to rely on stealth until we reach whatever we are looking for. You ready?"
Liam sighs and answers "Yeah..."
"Lets do this." Liam and Herald exit the vehicle and head to the back, where they were stopped by two security guards that told them that they were allowed inside. Herald looks at Liam and then proceeds to punch the two guards to a pulp. He grabbed the both of them and with Liam's help, they hid the unconscious bodies into the storage room and took their clothes. They disguised themselves as the security guards and exit the storage room.
They returned outside to guard the door. Liam asked "How is this suppose to help us infil-" but before he could continue, a man in a wealthy purple suit, with an ugly smile on his face and long pointy hair, approaches Herald and Liam with an entourage of guards.
One of the guards looked at Liam and Herald and said "You the newbies?"
Herald answered "Yeah, we just took over for the previous guys."
The man in purple suit asked "Well where the hell are they?! I'm going to give them a piece of my mind." Saying that, he cracks his knuckles violently, making Liam grow frightened. "Argh I'll deal with them later, for now, lock this door and come with us."
"Understood sir." Said Liam, freaking out. Ignoring this, the man later known as Xythis and his entourage enter inside as well as Herald and Liam who locked the door behind them.
They travelled in the elevator to the top of the building and exiting, Liam and Herald found themselves in a luxurious room where there was a big window where they could freely watch the fight that was happening.
