BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1540 What A Joke
'Commander, we have to move forward as the doors behind us close." One of his Mechanoids suggested.
"And move in blindly without any reinforcements?! Are you boltheads broken? Can't you see what is in front of us?!" The commander's voice trembled as he pointed to the other end of the room. Both the mechanoids under him and his eyes could not believe what he was seeing.
Humanoids that were buffed to the extreme with the features of a bull. And if that was not enough to crack his head that such abominations were around, it seemed as if the Minotaurs were having a blast …erm having tea.
Yes, he was unable to comprehend the current situation.
The monsters were having tea and the Minotaurs were cosplaying doing so. But do not be fooled by this scene as in their background, scores of Mechanoids had already been annihilated. Commander's heads had already been severed and were placed on a cabinet right behind them as if they were trophies to be displayed.
Even though the Minotaurs were aware of the presence of their enemies within the room. They were enjoying their roleplaying to the point that they did not care of the Mechanoids who had raised their rifles while waiting for the order to shoot.
It was not until a sudden doorbell rang which broke the tension and everyone looked at the side of the room, seeing a human coming out of it. (Those bells that were placed at the top of the door, to signal that someone entered the room, that kind of bells.) That was when all of the Minotaurs began to take notice of him and acknowledge him based on their roleplays. The female maids bowed while the gunky muscular males nodded their heads.
"Oh, did I come at an inopportune time?" Jin asked as he saw the commotion as well as the group of Mechanoids with a stranded commander holding it out at the edge of the room. It was then an animated puppet emerged from the cattle of Minotaurs.
"Master Jin!" Moloch waved his frail looking cotton arms and beckoned him to have a seat. And like the rest of the Minotaurs, Jin did not care for the Mechanoids and walked towards the puppet as invited.
"Commander, that is our way out." The leading mechanoid said and the commander spoke in sarcasm. "Well thank you miss obvious. How are you proposing to get there? Can't you fucking see all that broken Mechanoids and beheaded commanders on their cupboard?!"
"HEY!" One of the Minotaurs who were enjoying tea shouted back. "You either stay there and shut up or come here and die under our hands. Our VIP is here and you are making too much of a ruckus."
"Hear! Hear!" All of the minotaurs bang their tables for a moment before returning back to their allocated roles.
"So that human is their guest. Perhaps we can get out of this if we play our cards right." The commander said as he attempted to speak out once more asking for Mr Jin if he heard his name correctly.
But the moment he said his name, all of the Minotaurs who returned to roleplaying immediately reversed their role once again and guns were brought out from each and everyone on the other side of the room. The Mechanoids tensed up as they aimed their barrels at each of the Minotaur's heads. Even though they outnumbered them, the Mechanoids did not have confidence that they were able to win since there was no data on these humanoids at all. (Since Humanoids never existed in their world before.)
"I assume you want out?" Jin, who stretched his head out from the back, shouted in response.
"Yes. I am just a contracted worker. Let me out peacefully, I will pay you all the points I have. Heck, I will even throw in an additional agreement not to harass or ever target you and your friends from Mount Sunn Workshop. Just give me your names and in the event I am within a few hundred metres of you guys, I will disappear." The commander said and suddenly all of the minotaurs chuckled for a while.
"That's an interesting proposal. But what if I deemed your points insufficient? Would you in turn give us your Mechanoids as collateral?" Jin asked as he turned his chair towards the commander and the rest of the Minotaurs inched away to allow Jin to have full eye contact with the commander.
It was then the commander felt that his luck had turned for the better. The humanoids had no idea that they were making his job so much easier by allowing a clear view of their VIP for his snipers and riflemen (or Rifle Mechanoids? lol) to have such a beautiful aim at every part of his body.
"I do not think that's possible. As a mercenary squad commander, I would have nothing to put on the table if I do that. That's basically asking me to lose my livelihood." The commander remarked but he was only doing so to give his Mechanoids extra time to position themselves slowly in case their shots missed.
"Then it looks like our conversation has to end early," Jin said as he sighed and started to sit up to turn his chair back. But the moment he moved a muscle, it was met with bullets from every single Mechanoid who was waiting for a sign.
It was then the commander thought he had bagged a win so they could get out of this unscathed.
Hah. What a joke.
