Chapter 186 - 186: 2nd Vigilante Mission (Human Trafficking)



These people were desperate, they were being sold as nothing more but replaceable organs, or future prostitutes.

The majority of them were even sold by their relatives or were homeless people who were suffering from hunger and thirst.

​​

Nobody cared about these guys, they were dead people that were still walking around, even worse than zombies because they didn\'t have even the tiniest shred of freedom.

At least zombies could walk wherever they wished, abide by their free will if they had it that is. But these guys didn\'t have even that simple thing.

Most of the time they were captured or sold against their wish, and desire, and then were transported, and deal with like they were nothing more but garbage.

Eric\'s plan was to save them, and give them a chance to forsake weakness and seek strength, an opportunity to leave this behind, and take their fate into their own hands.

He would give them an opportunity to take revenge if they so wished to, but that would all come with a price.

There was no free lunch in this world, and those guys must understand that better! The price he would ask from them would be their lives, loyalty, and souls.

It was a deal with the devil, but to someone who was already in hell, it would look like a heaven-sent opportunity to get out of what they were in.

Thinking like this, Eric just ordered Daisuke to give him all the details about the last deal, and also to prepare a small helping team to receive all the ones that would agree to the devil pact.

He was no Samaritan, he was doing all this for himself, and no one else. He didn\'t care what happened to the others, he only cared for the ones that accepted his deal.

And even those who accepted would have to undergo hellish training, and trials in order to prove themselves, their resolve, and their obedience.

Eric needed loyal and strong-willed soldiers and not some wimpy idiots that could only talk and have no real strength.

With the S-day on the horizon, he didn\'t have much time to take it easy, and he might need to make the training even harder in order to speed up their strengthening.

But that was for later when he actually had a few of them accept his devil pact, as right now he just got the information on the deal he was about to jump on.

Just like it was previously mentioned the deal would happen in Tokyo Bay, where the shipment was coming in a big merchandise ship from China.

More than 80% of the people that were being sold were Chinese, but there were also some who had other nationalities, as most probably these guys were kidnapped tourists.

According to the information, the two sides involved in this matter were a local gang that had recently come to prominence, who had government and underground world support.

Nobody knew the real leader of this gang, but people were doubting that it was some high official, or someone related to them, or even some rich businessman.

Either way, nobody dared to face them off, as the ones who had tried, one of the big gangs under Yakuza had been extinguished in one night, and the Yakuza head had made a blind eye to this.

This clearly showed that the Yakuza Head had some information on the head of the new gang, and didn\'t dare to go against him.

As for the other side, was a powerful Chinese triad known as the \'Skull Triad\'. These guys were strong and ruthless.

They would do anything for money, even kill their own friends or family. All they cared about was currency and target, everything else was just a trivial fact.

Human trafficking was just their side business, which seemed to have a lot of money, making them change their ways, and methods of making money.

With this new business, they had gotten smarter and had a better life, but their ruthlessness never disappeared from their character.

The merchandise they offered though was one of the best in the market, as they truly got the cream of the crops, not caring who they offended in the way.

In fact, they would even work for personal requests, in case there were any. Like for example kidnaping some official\'s or businessman\'s wife, or daughter, and handing it over to their client.

To them, everything was doable, as long as the payment was good. This one was just their monthly shipment to Japan.

Even though it was just a routine monthly shipment, the security was really tight around the bay, and the ship.

There would be more than 40 people from the local snake gang and more than 60 or 70 members of the \'Skull\'s Triad\'.

If compared to Eric\'s system levels these guys would be around level 24 to 28, with their leaders being level 35 at most.

While it could be called a bit difficult, Eric was more than assured that he would be able to wipe them out easily and do whatever he wished before the police, and other parties got involved.

Still, this didn\'t mean that he wouldn\'t have a plan A, B, C, and D to escape if things went south. After all, his life was much more important than this vigilante mission, and its benefits.

As long as he was alive he would be able to return back and try it again. But, if he died, then it was game over, as even \'The Legacy System\' wouldn\'t be able to revive him.

Looking at the sky, it was still a bit early, as it would take around 2 or 3 hours for the sun to finally set, and even longer for the night to arrive.

So he had around 4 or 5 hours free, to say the least, as he decided to use these hours to go and have a look around the place.

Scouting was really important in these cases, as he had to understand and check with his own eyes the information that Daisuke had handed over to him.

In less than an hour, he arrived at the Tokyo Bay area and started walking around aimlessly to try and find a way to enter the Bay area.

He had to circulate at least 3 times around the perimeter to finally find a weak spot in the security around the place, as this place was heavily guarded by the naval police.

It was kind of funny, as these guys were securing and protecting whatever they had sworn to fight against, and they had no idea about it.

Still, even though it was truly difficult, Eric managed to pass through them, and enter the bay area, which differently from the outside was almost completely empty.

There was no visible activity inside, as everything seemed to have stopped with time, and the place was deathly silent.

It was precisely this pin-drop silence, and the unusual inactivity, that made Eric\'s alarm senses start ringing like he was some kind of concert of carnival.

Even though he was dressed in camouflage clothes, and had the mask covering his face, Eric still didn\'t start running through the place immediately.

In fact, he decided to stay there for a bit and check upon his surroundings, as he activated his death laws to the extent of his knowledge and abilities.

He was right to do that, because the moment he did it, white dots started appearing all over around his position.

He was truly surprised because normally all these white dots represented living people, and by the shade of their white, these guys weren\'t normal people either.

Still, it didn\'t make much sense, as everywhere where he would \'see\' that white dot around him, there would be a big box placed in there.

At first, Eric had thought that it was some kind of merchandise or some kind of seating place, but it seemed that things weren\'t like they looked.

Yet, the weirdest thing was that no matter how much he \'looked\' those boxes with his spirit sense, he wasn\'t able to find out anything.

These things seemed to be empty, like totally empty. Normally his spirit sense would capture even a lightly beating heart rate, but there was no sign of it inside these boxes.

Just what was going on? How come these guys were there, alive, but didn\'t have a heartbeat, how could that happen? That was total madness!

Still, he didn\'t give up, as he just kept locking these boxes with his spirit sense when he finally felt a weak heart beating rate.

These guys were true professionals, even though they were in these places, and in those positions, they were still able to keep their heart beating to such a low level, without making even a tiny mistake.

If it was anyone else besides Eric right now, that guy would have probably died without even understanding how he died.

Unfortunately, they had run into Eric tonight, and their best trump card, their stealth had been destroyed, as they even had their positions found out.

No matter how one looked at this, it was apparent that these guys\' luck had run out, and that pretty soon they would be a feast for crows.

As a matter of fact, as soon as Eric determined their position and general strength, he slowly and stealthily moved from his position, as he approached the first box.

This thing seemed totally inconspicuous, but the truth was that it had a deadly viper inside, that Eric had to take care of before continuing deeper inside.

  As he was thinking like this, he immediately bought some \'Heart Poison\' from the system shop for 70 SP points and laced it over his \'Silent Reaper\' knife.

As soon as he was done with that, he pushed his knife through a small opening of the box and pricked the guy inside with his knife.

It was like a mosquito\'s bite, as the person inside didn\'t even dare to make a noise, in fear of blowing his cover, he had to endure it…
