2026-07-06 23:04:33They entered the boarding house. Their footsteps stomped roughly at the same time along the corridor.
They simultaneously raised their steel machetes straight ahead, aiming at Barra's chest without the slightest hesitation. "System, can you find the weaknesses of these five bastards?" Barra asked in his head. The holographic blue screen buzzed softly and projected data right in front of his retinas. [Scanning five targets...] [Target 1 (Scar): High agility, poor balance on the left leg. Weapon: Carbon Steel Machete.] [Target 2: Short body posture, focused attacks from the enemy's blind spot. Swing strength below average.] [Target 3: Tanker type. Dense muscle mass, slow movement. Vital point exposed on the right stomach.] [Target 4 & 5: Support positions in the back row, low awareness level.] Barra smiled. Now he already pocketed the list of the enemies' weaknesses and strengths. So, there was no reason to be nervous. He stared sharply at them, then slid his right foot backward. Barra lowered his shoulders, taking a low stance position to minimize the enemy's attack area. "You guys are very enthusiastic, even though you are just dogs," Barra said flatly. This hallway position provided a tactical advantage for him. The five enemies could not possibly launch deadly slashes simultaneously. Behind the door of room number one, Valerie peeked from the narrow glass gap with bated breath in her throat. This man in front of her just saved her from anesthetic poisoning, and now was risking his life fighting a gang of armed killers. "Barra, dodge!" Valerie shouted. The first horizontal slash came striking from the scarred man in the front row. The man twisted his waist, aiming for Barra's neck. Barra ducked quickly downward in one smooth footing jerk. "Damn it!" the scarred man cursed roughly. The enemy's machete hit the brick wall surface on the right side hard. Barra prepared to straighten his body back up. He clenched his right fist, targeting a fatal counter punch to his first enemy's solar plexus. However, the holographic warning screen from the System suddenly appeared right in the middle of his line of sight. [Tactical Warning! Follow-up attack movement anomaly detected from the Host's left blind spot.] The voice coincided with the appearance of the second man's shadow. This short attacker appeared very agilely from the narrow gap on the left. The second man lowered his shoulder, then swung his rusty weapon from below upwards toward Barra's solar plexus. "Die!" the second man shrieked. Barra immediately tried to twist his shoulder away to avoid the deadly slash. Unfortunately, his body position was still half-ducked. His movement was restrained by the tightness of the hallway wall on the right side. The sharp tip of the rusty metal successfully scratched Barra's left shoulder squarely. A bloody red line appeared instantly on his shoulder's skin surface. Fresh blood dripped down slowly, wetting the fabric fibers of his undershirt collar. Seeing that sight, both of Valerie's knees felt weak instantly. The conglomerate group heir covered her own mouth with both palms. Her eyes widened extremely seeing Barra's dripping blood falling. Barra lost his body balance for a moment. Barra's back hit the hallway wall right behind him hard. The white paint they just applied a few minutes ago instantly stuck to the back of Barra's leather jacket. "Aarghh... bastard!" Barra hissed. "I will chop off your left hand right now!" the second man shouted with a victorious smirk. The man pulled his weapon back behind his chest, preparing to deliver a second, much deadlier slash. Barra gritted his jaw tightly. He pressed his right palm to the wall, trying to push his body forward to ruin the opponent's attack distance. However, the third man utilized Barra's shock gap very perfectly. This most stocky man stepped quickly past his partner. He immediately kicked Barra's stomach area hard using the tip of his thick steel plate boot. That leg attack speed was outside the System's calculated predictions. Barra crossed both his muscular arms in front of his chest to reduce the impact. Unfortunately, the power from that steel boot strike was too great. The attack penetrated his hand defense and hit his stomach squarely. The brutal kick forced him to kneel helplessly on the cold cement floor surface. His right hand gripped his stomach tightly, enduring the dull pain spreading quickly to all his internal organs. In three seconds, three sharp machete tips now stuck closely surrounding his position, pressing Barra's neck and face skin layers from three different directions simultaneously. One blade locked right above his artery base on the right. One blade held his chin from below. The last blade stuck tightly touching his left temple. The three attackers tightly locked every escape gap in that narrow hallway. Valerie pounded her room's glass window using her tiny fists very desperately. "I will pay all his debts! However much you ask, I will give it! Please, let him go right now!" Valerie shouted hysterically. The arrogant woman threw away all her prestige and pride. She was willing to pay Barra's debt as long as the man was not killed. "Stay inside your room and shut your mouth, Valerie!" Barra ordered with a low tone. The scarred man laughed dismissively hearing Barra's order. He stepped slowly from the back row, approaching the helplessly kneeling Barra. "A very touching sacrifice," the scarred man sneered staring at Valerie's panicked face from behind the glass window. The man turned his neck back, looking down at Barra. He spat right falling next to the man's knee. "Our boss asked for your head to be brought using a black plastic bag tonight, not money," the scarred man said smirking. Barra stared straight ahead penetrating the man's gaze. His gaze was sharp and did not show the slightest fearful reaction. "System, find a way so I can dodge," Barra commanded in his mind very calmly. The System's AI voice buzzed loudly responding to his question. [Tactical calculation complete. Movement space locked. Physical maneuver probability: 0 percent. Vital organ damage risk: 100 percent.] The scarred man stepped back half a meter. He pulled his machete away from Barra's neck slowly. The man raised his weapon very high. Both his hands tightly gripped the roughly polished wooden handle. The muscles in both his arms tensed stiffly. He prepared to slash Barra's neck using all the last strength he had. The red lit warning screen from the System blinked quickly. The System displayed a three-second countdown before the fatal attack destroyed his body. [Fatal Threat Warning! Weapon collision detected in...] [3...] [2...] [1...]

Barra Sterling closed the silver suitcase again with one extremely slow and calm hand movement.

His hand moved to wipe the remaining water stains on the edge of the glass desk.The muscular man cleaned its surface until it shined perfectly. His movements were very meticulous, like a professional cleaner."Stand up from the floor, Elena," Barra commanded, throwing the dirty tissue into the trash basket. "Brew two cups of strong espresso using the automatic coffee machine in that corner."Elena rubbed her knees, which were still trembling violently. The woman in the red suit stood up with wobbly steps toward the mini bar cabinet in the corner of the room."Sir, what about the hit squad heading here?" Elena asked in a hoarse voice, holding back fear. "They are elite
