Just then, his gaze glowed with a peculiar blue color, as a system mission was broadcast in front of him.
[Ding]

'Good.' Louis smiled.
Thanks to the information provided by the man he had just killed, he knew where to direct his wishes so that the mission would be issued correctly.
And as he hoped, the way to complete the mission soon was within reach.
A skinny, somewhat tall man in ostentatious, but slightly inconspicuous clothing entered, followed by many armed people.
Those who came with firearms took aim at Louis as soon as they entered, forcing Jessy to stand behind him.
Fraid frowned at the sight of the four corpses on the floor, but dragged his gaze from the ground to Louis.
'White hair, blue eyes... He looks like the guy the Lockward Family sent for.' Thought.
"Who are you?" he asked.
Louis looked him up and down. He was a normal person armed with powerful armor all over his body.
But his weapon was a pistol that rested in his left leg, under his clothes. Apparently, he could get it out of there quickly.
"I just came to collect what I'm owed." Louis threw the bag of money on the floor. "All the money stolen, I expect it to be replaced with 100% interest and then some. Since you stole 500 thousand... well, I'll give you 10 minutes to make it 1 million here."
His words caused shock. Fraid could recognize the money. It was just the one that belonged to that girl and the Cursed Blacksmith he stole recently.
That's why he looked at it indifferently.
"Aren't you afraid of death? Coming to my House of Shadows with threatening tones... the last one who did was thrown into the streets and was torn to pieces by hungry stray dogs."
"Haha." Louis shrugged. "I don't care what happened to the last one who did it." Louis raised his hand once more and pointed it directly at him.
"Everyone who participated in the theft of this must die. And if you don't pay me what I told you, I'll kill you too."
Fraid frowned and took a step back. Two people jumped up to stand in front of him, and a man in the crowd finally took an interest in Louis.
"An Armamentalist..." Smiled Fraid. "But, you've come to the headquarters of someone else's organization on your own, and you're so young, how do you intend to defend yourself from all this?"
He raised his hand and flipped a coin. "Surely you've heard about my snipers - try them a little!" He revealed a sinister smile that seemed to want to eat Louis alive.
Just then...
BAM*
BAM*
Two shots shattered the windows behind Louis.
Two powerful bullets that seemed to be coated with magic flew towards his head and into his heart.
He quickly turned around and threw Jessy to the ground, but...
Suddenly, a drop of blood fell to the ground.
Fraid behind him, smiled.
"In the end, you were just useless." He sneered. "Or should I say I'm in another league?"
He took several steps forward to finish off his opponent, but just then, Louis turned around.
An extremely sinister smile blossomed on his face, as his white, manicured teeth showed. One bullet rested on them, clenched tightly, and another was clutched between his two fingers.
At the sight of it, Fraid froze. Fear swept over him.
"Hehe." Louis spat out the bullet in his mouth and the one between his fingers. "Looks like they're pretty useless, those snipers."
"You..." Fraid took a step back, and immediately all his subordinates tried to attack.
But two shots went off in succession, and the sound came accompanied by blood, death, and finally destruction.
The two bullets he had fired killed three each and then ended up hitting the nearby wall with an explosion.
Although he wasn't as fast as Hardrial, his speed gradually intensifies with each shot as he gets the hang of it.
With these two shots, something happened for him as well...
[Your skill: Revolver Enhanced Shot has leveled up.]
[You have gained a Stat Point]
Although he smiled, he didn't add it immediately. He looked straight ahead.
"Every minute that passes, 500,000 Jens will be added to what you must pay. It's already been 1."
Fraid felt fear coursing through his body, so much so that he took two more steps back, to cover himself from his subordinates.
But then, one of them held him up.
"Don't be frightened by a child's tantrum, Mister Fraid."
"Mister Brandiel."
He remembered that he had not come here alone. This man was with him.
And he was an Awakened One.
Brandiel looked across at Louis on the other side.
"Young man, there are some things it is best not to do when young. Among those, you have done the worst of all. Never underestimate a group of petty mobsters, no matter how normal they may be."
Brandiel stepped forward and spoke, "Attack from all directions. Let's make a sieve out of this little bastard." At his words, numerous shots rang out from various firearms.
Both nearby and from the other side of the window.
Still, Louis simply looked straight ahead. His gun was pointed at Brandiel.
BAM*
Before all the bullets reached him, Brandiel's head had exploded.
[You have leveled up]
[You have leveled up]
The two system announcements shocked him. They were thanks to these that he realized that this guy was actually an Awakened One.
And to give him so much experience, he was surely a high-level one, though not enough to resist a shot of his that was aimed at his head, the most vulnerable part among humans.
Fraid couldn't help but fall backwards, sitting on the ground. Fear invaded his body.
Of the 12 people he had come with, 7 were dead. The snipers had missed the 2nd shots, and the remaining ones could not fight back.
The swords scattered on the ground next to corpses that had not even moved from their position reflected a one-sided combat.
Louis took a few steps forward at the stunned look of his rivals and stood in front of Fraid. He immediately put the gun to his head and smiled sinisterly.
"Four minutes have passed. Do you want to shell out 3 million Jens, or should I push you?"
