Mercenary Escort, In the ship we go

Slap!

"Ughhhh!!!!" Jake holds his face due to the pain of the slap, The slap was very strong that a hand print was seen on Jake's face. After trying to hold his face that was slap he stared at the girl who slapped him in the face.

"Jake! The fuck were you doing in that dump and why the hell did I have to take you out of prison." Vankia shouted towards Jake, Jake was avoiding Vankia's stare while the other mercenary was shaking their heads in disappointment.

"It was not my fault!" Jake tried to counter but his used of words was very wrong that Vankia was having a nerve on her head. Seeing the angry Vankia, Jake quickly covered his face but before he could cover his face a fist came towards his face.

"You Bastard!" Vankia shouted as she punch Jake into oblivion, The Mercenary especially Arnold felt the pain in the face. He was looking at Jake with a face of pity while the other girls just ignored the two fighting.

"What the FUck Did I do to you?!?" Jake was very confused on why the leader was very angry, He knew that the leader knows about him going into places like that but why is the leader punching him without mercy now?

"Do you know what the fuck you did to me?" Vankia said while kicking Jake, Jake was literally covering his whole body with his hand while screaming in pain. The Mercenaries knew that they had to stop the leader before Jake dies.

"I lost a lot of money to you and we had to do the mission for free you bastard." Vankia said with a voice that was full of anger, The mercenaries hearing it knew what it meant. Arnold who was having pity to Jake asked Vankia.

"Leader, What do you mean?" Arnold asked, He was confused about what Vankia said so he decided to ask about it. The Mercenaries were also curious and confuse about what Vankia meant so they decided to listen about it.

"The fucking escort heard about the news and this guy right here." Vankia said while pinching Jake's ear with her fingers, Feeling the Pain. Jake screamed in pain due to how Vankia pinch his ear in a merciless way.

"Continue?" Arnold said, Hearing Arnold Vankia stopped trying to hurt Jake and sat on her own chair. Hilda quickly brought a coffee and put it right next to Vankia, seeing the Coffee. Vankia looked at Hilda and nodded for thanks, Hilda just bowed and continued on doing her own thing.

"It seems that the Police in the country were cracking out a foreign mafia group that manage to smuggle a lot of things into their country." Vankia stopped for a moment and took a sip from her coffee, After sipping her coffee she then continued.

"This country is a conservative country which means they don't want foreign bad stuff from entering their country. Being caught in the middle of a raid is something that one of the politicians in this country used against us." Vankia sighed as she took another sip of coffee.

"What?" Arnold asked, He was really confused and asked Vankia for the second time. Hearing him, Vankia was just trying to find a simplified way for Rocky head to understand.

"In a simplified way, They are accusing us as carriers for the smuggling that is going on in this country." Vankia said in a simplified way, Hearing her the mercenaries nodded in understanding until Arnold asked about one problem.

"Aren't we only here for less than a day." Arnold said to Vankia, Vankia nodded when she heard what Arnold said and spoke to him.

"That is the problem, This bastard manage to find it in less than a day which means that the politicians and police thought that he must be connected in the illegal smuggling operations in this country."

(Flashback)

"Welcome to the city of Tokyo miss Vankia." Tanaka said with a smiled, The both of them were speaking English while the people around them were speaking the local launguage.

Hearing Tanka, Vankia nodded and the both of them head towards the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. The Two of them were surrounded by guards and after a while the two entered the building.

'Wow.' Vankia thought while looking at the building, It was very clean and had a good atmosphere. Vankia looked around the hall and Tanaka notices that she was looking around the hall and just chuckled.

"Miss Vankia this way." Tanaka said while pointing towards the Big door on his direction, Hearing him. Vankia turn her head away from the beautiful hall and looked at Tanaka.

"Okay." Vankia said as she followed Tanaka towards the Big door that was in the middle of the hallway. The guards that were guarding them seems to stop and just stood there guarding the hallway.

"This mission that will be given to you will be to escort one of our diplomat towards the ASEAN islands, You will not be in a plane and would be guarding the ship that will carry the Diplomat." Tanaka said towards Vankia.

"Why not plane?" This was what Vankia wanted to ask, Isn't just going to the islands with a plane fast and efficient. Tanaka chuckled when he heard Vankia's question and answered to that Question.

"We thought about that but there are many problem such as interceptors, This Diplomat is a secret mission which is why we hire mercenaries for it. Being in a boat is more safer than being in a plane since we are entering the territory of the ASEAN. Going by plane is more dangerous than ship." Tanaka said with patience in his voice.

"Understood." Vankia understood what Tanaka meant, The Diplomat would be in danger which is why they were hired but why don't they make their own military protect that diplomat unless.

'I heard that the ASEAN and Celestial Empire was fighting each other, The Empire of the rising sun is very near to the Celestial Empire and the Celestial Empire would probably have a war with the Empire of the Rising sun after the fight between the ASEAN. Rumors about history between the two is dire and always end with war.' Vankia thought about the reason and founds out that this was the most logical reason.

'It seems that relation between countries in this decade is slowly turning into hostility, The possibility of a massive war is strong.' Vankia thought but just decided to forget about that possibility and focus on the current mission.

The two of them were supposed to enter the big door until someone stop them, They could hear someone shouting behind them. Vankia and Tanaka turn around and saw a guy bringing something.

"What is it?" Tanaka asked, Why is this guy shouting for no reason. The shouting guy stopped in front of them and reported what he was ordered to report.

"One of the mercenary got captured in a raid." The shouting guy reported with a serious face, Tanaka was surprised when he heard what the shouting guy reported and turn his head towards the frozen Vankia.

"What?"

————————————————————

"The raiding area was supposed to be well hidden and this Bastard Jake manage to find it in one day." Vankia pointed at Jake who was on the floor beaten up by her. Arnold and the mercenaries were shocked at their current situation.

"So what do we do?" Arnold asked.

"if we don't do the job for free, All of us would be in prison for this guy." Vankia sighed, Although it doesn't make sense. The Empire would do it if they had to and they found a good reason to do it.

"You bastard!" Arnold shouted towards Jake and it was his turn to beat up poor Jake, The money he was told to have disappeared because of this bastard fault so he was incredibly angry.

"I thought you were supposed to be on my side!" Jake said towards Arnold but all he receive was a punch in the face and a middle finger. His bro didn't help him instead beat him up like the leader.

Arnold continued to beat up Jake while the other mercenaries were minding their own business, Although they were very quiet. The mercenaries in their mind were plotting for a revenge plan towards Jake.

Money is important to them, They won't do any job without money and the word free is a taboo for Mercenaries. This is one of their mottos, Anyway it was rare for a mercenary to do a job for free.

While the fight was happening, The door of the room open and the Mercenaries noticing it looked towards the door. They could see Leo and Alex who was currently eating an ice cream.

"Eh?" That was what Leo said as he closed the door, The Mercenaries were very awkward at what just happen. Arnold stop beating Jake and a weird silence filled the room.
