Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Don't Make a Big Scene...
"Twenty thousand to enter the city?"
Renault stated questioned, standing at the end of the passage and observed the man before him who was demanding money with outstretched hands.
Drake had already crossed the threshold, but upon hearing this, he turned back, his demeanor suddenly tense as he met Renault's inquisitive gaze.
"Is this the local rule, or is it your own demand?" Renault's gaze shifted to the man reaching out to him, noticing Drake's confusion.
"It's none of your business! Pay up or get out!" The man retorted sharply, his eyes darting towards the figures behind Renault.
The five guards by the gate seemed to share his sentiment, their hands unconsciously tightening around their weapons as he ranted.
"Wait! This is completely against protocol..."
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Even Drake, who was advancing ahead, realized that these people were causing trouble for him and his employer!
He had never heard of any black market stronghold charging an entry fee!
Having lived here for so many years, he was unaware of such a ludicrous rule! It was outright robbery!
Though infuriated, Drake didn't want to directly confront these men. After all, they were just gatekeepers, ultimately under the control of the stronghold's managers.
Engaging in a conflict with them could jeopardize his future here...
Unfortunately, Drake's mind wasn't as quick as Renault's trigger finger.
After six gunshots, both those reaching out to Renault and those holding guns behind the door had an additional bleeding eye on their foreheads.
"Mistake..." Drake, witnessing the scene, attempted to utter the last word, but those men couldn't hear him anymore.
Thump!
After several falling sounds, all the guards lay on the ground. Drake stared at Renault in disbelief as he handed the revolver back to Nagant Revolver beside him.
"Well, the commander's quick draw is quite impressive." Nagant Revolver remarked, marveling at Renault's skill as she spoke, deftly reloading her revolver with fresh bullets.
Observing the fallen guards, Drake's expression darkened.
Wasn't his employer a bit too aggressive?
He had just knocked out the guards without a word. Was he here to shop or cause trouble?
AR15 was also taken aback. She didn't expect Renault to act so decisively.
However, seeing HK416 and P38 maintaining their composure, AR15 also felt uneasy. "Um, does Commander Renault always act so... directly?"
As Drake earnestly tried to calm Renault down, AR15 quietly inquired of HK416 beside her.
"More or less. When he found a few of us, me and G11 at the time, he shot through an entire street and then raided the headquarters of a doll trafficking gang. In total, there were at least hundreds, no, probably several hundred people." HK416 explained as she loaded grenades into her launcher.
Since they had already initiated action, there might be a large-scale battle later, so preparing weapons in advance could give them an advantage.
P38 and Nagant Revolver beside her followed suit.
AR-15's eyes twitched at their actions. No wonder they wore windbreakers. It seemed to serve the same purpose as Renault's coat, which blocked visuals on most of their equipment.
Although AR15 didn't wear a coat, she carried an ammunition pack on her back, with plenty of ammunition in her bag, enough for a high-intensity encounter.
AR15 felt embarrassed looking at her ammunition... It wasn't much. During her time at Griffin, she only had about one set of ammunition.
That set was more than enough to deal with Sangvis Ferri, and occasionally, she could replenish ammunition at a Griffin safe house. In the Griffin squad, logistics supply was handled by specific dolls.
But she didn't expect today... to encounter this situation...
"Huh? Don't worry. You can just think of it as a outing." P38 noticed AR15's inner conflict and waved her hand, trying to dispel AR15's useless worries.
Hearing P38's untimely 'comfort', AR15 really didn't know what to say.
How could they consider it just an outing?
Renault had already directly killed six people!
"It's okay. Before the commander took action, I had already disabled the monitoring system here. Those guys won't know it was us."
Hearing this, both Drake and AR15 turned abruptly to look at P38. They were completely surprised that this person was so knowledgeable!
And they didn't even notice before!?
Drake suddenly felt a chill down his spine, while AR15 also suddenly felt useless.
The several ambushers they had just shot, except for one killed by her, the rest were all killed instantly by Nagant Revolver and the others.
Of course, this wasn't a matter of combat ability; it was just that she hesitated for a few milliseconds before acting...
Never having shot at humans before, AR15 inevitably had some mixed thoughts.
And Drake was really impressed this time. These guys, including Renault, not only had amazing combat abilities but also had electronic warfare T-Dolls who could quietly disable the stronghold's monitoring system...
The Doll holding HK416 even brought a grenade launcher, coupled with the dangerous items on Renault, he really couldn't be sure whether these guys were here to cause a scene or not.
They can cause trouble... but just don't involve him!
He was just here to take on a commission, earn some hard-earned money, and eat his fill. He never thought about starting a big battle in this mixed black market stronghold!
Of course, Renault definitely didn't come here to pick a fight on purpose; he just came to buy things.
But if someone really rushed over to give Renault money, he would naturally not refuse.
Seeing Renault still striding forward, AR15 subconsciously tightened the imprint weapon in her hand
She prayed in her heart that things wouldn't get too out of hand...
