Chapter 19

When all the men assembled and suited their bullet proof suits we departed on our reinforced SUV toward the docks where Michael Doran is.

I decided to take TR-1 with us. We don't really need him but it'll be much easier if he was there and I kind of wanted to see him in action. There's the possibility of drawing attention on me and giving me problems due to having an armed robot seen with me but there's no camera nearby and the people who's going to see it are criminals, I'm not worried about them spreading the word. There's a limit on what criminal mouth to mouth can do.

You could say that it was a calculated risk, but really it wasn't. it was an impulsive on, after all I'm here to have fun and not try hard on whatever the other people try hard to.

The travel to the docks didn't take too long, barely ten minutes passed before we arrived at the warehouse. SEVEN scanned the building and discovered there are thirty seven guys in it. For this I brought most of my men with me, twenty eight of them, the rest stayed to protect the factories.

When you have overwhelming advantage in fire power there is no need to make any complicated plan. So we will just barge in from the front door, the TR-1 at the front, and hold everybody at gunpoint and shoot down anybody who dares to fight back. Except Michael Doran of course, we need alive to question him after all.

"We are here, sir." The driver in my car said as the surrounding cars all stopped.

I got off the car with the TR-1, and saw the men readying themselves. They were wearing their black with white line bullet proof suits and their equally bullet proof helmet equipped with an HUD, the guns they are holding are highly modified rifle with no recoil and increased magazine, all of it made by SEVEN.

"Surround the warehouse firs and then we go in together at once when I give the order. Capture everybody while avoiding lethal force unless needed and don't let anybody escape." Robert briefed his men before they left.

I stood near the front door along with the TR-1, Robert and few other men. When everybody was ready, Robert gave the order to assault.

The TR-1 used the his rifle cannon on his shoulder to blow open the front door, a blue light came off the cannon and blew the gate apart to pieces. Robert and his men rushed in after that, SEVEN rushed with them while I followed closely behind, my handgun was still strapped to waist. Something I doubt I would need to use.

"Hand up where I can see them!"

"Drop you guns down!"

Robert and his men yelled out to Michael's men as they threatened to shoot them. The TR-1 has his hand where the machine guns were and his cannon aimed toward them. Seeing the metallic robot they all got intimidated and dropped their guns but there is always one who is too stupid and brave. One of the thugs who hide at a corner drew his and aimed at me.

I guess I looked the most vulnerable out of the bunch, after all I'm wearing normal clothes with no gun compared Robert and his men.

Too bad for him, SEVEN already saw him and riddled him with holes.

Sadly another one did the same and actually shot toward us, few shot miss, other got blocked by my amulet or bounced off TR-1 armor. The shooter was at the higher stairs where he could have a view on all of us while having a cover to retreat to. After a closer look, he resembled the man I was looking for, Michael Doran.

"He looks like Michael. SEVEN get him alive please." I said to SEVEN.

The TR-1 activated his propulsion system and flew right at the lone gunman. The robot completely destroyed and went right through the cover made of woods. Michael flew a couple meters away from the impact of the TR-1 charge and sprawled on the ground, his gun aimed at the robot and shot it multiple time. All it did was bounce away from the TR-1 armor plating.

"What the fuck are you!? Why did you come here!? What do you want from me motherfucker!?" Michael yelled out and questioned back in fright.

SEVEN didn't respond back and just crush the barrel of his gun before holding by the neck like a kitten and flew down.

Seeing the sight of their colleague death and their leader capture, they all put their hand above their heads. Robert and the rest of the group that rejoined us gathered them all in the main room. They were all on their knees, hands behind their heads with Robert's men keeping an eye on them.

Michael was up in the air, his feet a meter from the ground with the TR-1 holding the back of his neck.

I walked toward Michael but out of arms and feet reach. "So you must be Michael Doran, do you know who I am?"

"Yes, you're the guy who got most of Fisk thing. I know why you are here." Michael answered, which surprised me. I thought he would just throw insult at me until I start torturing him.

"Great, time saved. So… why did you send an assassin after me?"

"If I tell you, will I and my men be spared?" He asked hesitantly, at least he shown some concern for his men, a plus in my book.

"Depends on if you going to be an annoyance or not down in the road." I replied to him and shrugged.

He took a couple minute to think and mull over his head before giving his response. "It was the condition for us to join the Russians, they wanted you dead in case you want to rejoin the underworld continue Fisk work."

What the hell… I thought it was pretty clear that I wouldn't do any underworld stuff when I went legal with the company.

"What is the name of the Russians mob boss?" I asked the stranded man.

"Anatoly and Vladimir Rhanshakov." Two Russians brothers, I remember little of them from the show. Probably small fries.

"What do you plan to do now?" His fate will be based from his response.

"Me and my men will leave the city and lay low for a while. Maybe try our chance in another city." He seemed sincere enough for me.

"Mmh, okay. You're free to go. Don't make me regret this, because if I find out you fucked with me… you're dead." I said and threatened him but I don't think it was very convincing. It doesn't matter because the TR-1 is here and his presence alone is enough to intimidate them.

"Let's go back." I ordered everybody.

SEVEN dropped Michael to the ground and left with me. Robert and his men did the same but they were more cautious and made sure our back was protected.

"If it was me I would have killed him, then I guess it probably doesn't matter." I heard Vanessa said in my ear bud.

It's certainly safer for us if we killed all the men in that warehouse but I don't think I have the heart or the ruthlessness to do it. Even when I played games I tended to spare the guy when given the chance, unless they pissed me off greatly or I read somewhere that they will come back and bite on my ass. Maybe I'm soft, but I asked SEVEN to monitor him in case he didn't keep his word, if he didn't then I will send Robert and his men to finish him.

"I'll will have SEVEN keep an eye on them in case they do something stupid. Now I have to find a way to take care of the Rhanshakov brothers." I replied to Vanessa.

I was mulling in my head on how to get rid of the Russians, maybe I should send Robert and his men along with the TR-1. But Vanessa has a better idea.

"You could always use the cops. I remember seeing a few cops under Fisk paycheck in his ledger and some compromising pictures and videos, we can use them to take care of the Russians for us."

"This is great! We'll do that." I responded happily. All we have to do is to choose the right guy for it and feed him some info that SEVEN will get by spying.

We all went back to our respective cars and drove back to the tower.
