Chapter 2 (Male Version): The Assassins

Laurick Anderson decided to come up with a plan on how to protect himself and the other people who resided in the hotel together with his bodyguard. However, he didn't know assassin's abilities.

Your bodyguard tried to ensure a backup plan in case things went south.

You and your bodyguard went to the hotel and gathered all the people there and placed them in one room.

You were given a shotgun and you and your bodyguard guarded the door.

Eventually, the assassins arrived.

Laurick Anderson noticed a couple suspicious characters among the crowd. He realized that he was looking at the assassins. He immediately notified his bodyguard and waited for instructions.

Upon examining the assassins, you saw that they were one man and one woman. One was rather fat, but this didn't make her any less threatening. The other one was skinny and had a scar running across his face.

"Hey, you're an Anderson!" the skinny one with a scar across his face shouted at you.

You didn't respond. You just looked at the two of them with a grim expression on your face.

Laurick Anderson analyzed the situation.

While the two of them may have weapons on them, you don't think they'll use them. They're here to assassinate you, not start a gang war.

Your bodyguard immediately tried to protect you from the assassins. He pointed the shotgun right at them and told them to freeze.

"Don’t take another step, or I blow their fucking feet off!"

They didn't listen, and the fat one grabbed the scarred one and used him as a human shield.

The assassin with the scar tried to touch you and your bodyguard immediately shot him. He fell to the ground screaming in pain. The other assassin went towards the hero as he shooting at her slowly. You immediately joined by shooting an aimed nightmare particle at the fat assassin.

As the nightmare bullet hit the assassin, she immediately fell to the ground. You knew that she was just unconscious and were experiencing a nightmare now. The hero immediately called the police for having catched the assassins.

However, as soon as that fat assassin fell unconscious, a huge smokescreen was deployed in the room. Thereafter, the assassin with the scar charged at the hero and got hold of him and began spanking the hero. You however, went out of the hotel so you could use your power more without damaging someone else.

You immediately used your power to see who was the most threatening individual in the area. The most threatening individual was the assassin with the scar.

You immediately shot a nightmare bullet at him in the head. However, it didn't work as if he were immune to your powers.

You were trying to come up with a strategy to either get away from the assassin or take him down while you standing 20 meters up in the air.

As you were thinking, you immediately noticed that the scarred assassin was approaching you with a knife in his hand.

He was soon followed by your bodyguard who tried to use his ability to catch him alive. Meanwhile the scarred assassin tried to figure out ways to reach you. He used a rope and try to climb the hotel to reach you, however he failed as he couldn't get his footing as he used both of his hands to climb.

This gave you an idea.

You immediately flew 100 meters above the ground.

You immediately found police officers and screamed as loud as you could.

"Assassin! There's an assassin!"

The officers immediately came to your rescue and ordered the assassin to drop his weapons.

The assassin with a scarred face, realizing that he is completely surrounded by police officers, dropped the knife and surrendered.

Both the scarred assassin and the fat assassin were sent to the nearest jail in Dauseid.

You, as a victim, were seen as a national person of interest.

This event was given a lot of attention from the news as well as from major media companies.

Everyone knew about the attempted assassination, and everyone knew it was preventable had the hotel staff reacted quickly.

This caused a lot of trouble for your hotel chain as the customers didn't feel comfortable staying in a hotel where assassinations were happening.

You were received a call from a man named Rost.

He immediately took the claim of sending the assassins towards you and told you were a hard target to get rid of. He applauded your strength and informed you that there will come more assassins and if they fail, he'll come for you. Your bodyguard told you to be careful as there might be more assassins coming for you.

Then, a lady named Laura contacted you.

You gave the phone to your bodyguard in case its another one of those assassins.

"Hey, you're the guy who was at the hotel a couple days ago," a deep voice says from the other side

"h-how did you get this number?"

"That's not important. I've been seeing what's been going on with you and that assassination list. I'd like to help you and offer you a place to stay,"

"Who are you and why would you do this for me?"

"It's a long story, but the main reason is because I owe your father a favor."

"Wait, are you that hero that took down the slavers?"

"Unfortunately, you seem to have grown up without knowing your father. But yes, I'm the one who rescued those girls."

"So you're a hero?"

"I wouldn't go that far."

"Why not? You rescued almost a hundred slaves and captured over thirty slavers. That sounds pretty heroic to me."

Laurick Anderson looked at his bodyguard to see if it was okay to meet Laura.

"I'll see if it's okay with my bodyguard," you say.

"Sure thing. I'll be waiting." She hangs up without another word.

You look at your bodyguard who is reading a newspaper in the lobby.

You ask your bodyguard "Hi, do you know about a hero named Laura?"

He immediately puts down the newspaper and asks "Are you talking about Captain Anderson?"

You nod.

He asks you why do you want to know.

You tell him that a girl named Laura was wanting to meet you.
