Executor Of Justice

From the tone of the voice, Hector can assume that it is someone who has a great amount of power. Despite his I.S.B. badge being equipped doesn't mean it will save his skin. Executing an off-the-book mission is not something any organization permits. The public television broadcast clarified that the speaker was an old man in his military uniform. One could guess that he is at least a general in the army from his insignia plaque. To prevent making things worse, Hector made a small call to his supervisor. Unexpectedly, Chief Drake didn't go mad but complimented him.

"Didn't you know that some Republic senators issued a vote to remove us from the system? It's time you teach them a lesson. Show them what we're made of. Don't worry about the consequences, the General has your back."

At the end of the call, Hector smirked and told his soldiers his plan. They were eager to help him out to teach those men a lesson. While a general may rank higher than a field officer, Hector is a part of the International Security Bureau, he can't do anything to him as Hector has the authority to remove any military and police officers from their position with no previous notice.

After explaining the plan detail, he asked Bureau Chief Craestia to contact the Republic General that an I.S.B. Field Officer is present on the ground and that he should do nothing funny. This irritated the general a bit since it means he would have to sit on the negotiation table to discuss actions that should be taken. It is stated in the international law that to prevent inhumane actions to be taken as a punishment, all governments must comply with suggestions given by a present I.S.B. Officer.

General N. Rios is now sitting down in Hector's jeep. Like any other general, he was wearing a dark green uniform with bulletproof armor. David thought it would be easy to sway the young man and make him agree with his decision. The young man, however, is brilliant beyond his realm. David doesn't have any official doc.u.ment with him since there was no report about an I.S.B. Officer present on the ground. He regretted listening to his adjutant, who was just lazy to do it.

"Do you realize the actions you have committed is against the law, General Davis?"

"I was just following orders.."

" And what about the constitution you swore to uphold in the ceremony? Is it not treason?"

"*sigh* I understand, I will recall my forces until there is a validation of the order."

"That will not be necessary."

With a simple strike, his badge and rank plaque was destroyed, he is no longer a military general but a criminal. Davis didn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison so he played it cool and make threats against the young man, surely he would be afraid right?

"Do you not fear that my men will kill you?"

"Why should I fear a bunch of weaklings? None of you would dare face the might of the Security Bureau. Execute him! "

"Wait don't !!"

Before the general could even finish his sentence, his body and soldiers were shot down endlessly by Hector's squad blaster rifle. The general-class armor didn't save him, it was nothing compared to the equipment the Security Bureau was equipped with. Blood could be seen flowing out of the jeep's door and signs of resistance could be seen. Bureau Chief Craestia didn't expect the handsome young man to be so cold and ruthless. This made her realize the reason behind her parents' rejection of her joining the International Security Bureau.

'Experience points? Dark Warriors? Wait, why are they even here? Don't tell me... that the Republic is under the control of the demons? I guess I should visit the Capital to see what is going on.'

The death of General Davis was transmitted to the capital of the invading fleet. The navy and marines were shocked to see this. Do they dare to murder their lands? They must pay the price. Vice Admiral Dominic Ancher, however, thinks differently and didn't let the death of his superior affect him. He ordered the men to stop channeling their hatred and head back to the capital as previously ordered by the Lieutenant-General, there was nothing they could do at all.

'Shit just got real. I have to inform this to the Chief.'

The call was quite short, Hector memorized all the codes and their meaning so there was no need to take it the long way. Since he still has a quest to finish here, he was granted permission to search for the remaining VIPs. To maximize his search, he took a police helicopter and began scanning the area.

Upon spotting them, he ordered the men to take them with him for security reasons. Luckily, none of them resisted the suggestion and went along. They were very calm about the situation that gave goosebumps to the soldiers. Only an elite would be this calm. They were brought before Hector at the landing pad located at the top of the police branch quarters.

"I assume you are the commanding officer?"

"That is correct, I would like to thank you for your cooperation. I'm sure all of you know that you are being targeted by supernatural powers. Come with me and I'll keep you safe. I'll also teach you how to get stronger."

There was a small silence after Hector stated that. They realized it wasn't just them that had the ability, even a military officer have it.

"How do we know you are not lying?"

"Simple, try to analyze me"

The Holy Squires used their imagination to analyze Hector. At this point, a small holy aura started to create a small barrier at their body.

After playing with the game menus for a while, the squires realized that Hector is on a different level than them. At first, they thought there was an error in the system, so they checked each other's results. But the result was the same, Hector is a Holy Warrior.

-- Follow Orders ---]

'Follow his orders? What happens if I don't?'

During their early days, they were beaten up multiple times by corrupted police officers. They tried to report it but to no avail, they thought they were joking. As they were still officially citizens, they didn't have to follow his orders, but they know it is a wiser choice to follow him as he is much more experienced than them. It didn't take long for them to come with the decision after discussing it with each other.

"Sir, we would like to follow you on your journey. "

" Wise choice, do you have any more friends with similar abilities by the way?"

" Not that I know of, we just awakened it recently"

" In that case, hop on the shuttle, we're heading straight for the capital city. Keep in mind that the Republic you know has fallen already. It is a threat to mankind."

"Fallen? Sir what do you "

" I'll explain it, just get on the helicopter first."

" As you wish"
