The Legendary Mechanic

Chapter 19: $1,000,000 Bounty! Class-A Mission!

The next morning, the boss, Hila, and a group of staff arrived at the wreckage of the battle.

The boss snorted coldly at the sight of No. 1's corpse.

"Useless trash."

"All of them are dead," reported a researcher after they gathered all the bodies.

The leader gazed thoughtfully at the mountain range in the distance.

"Issue a bounty under the name of the Organization. $1,000,000, dead or alive," he suddenly ordered.

Hila and the rest of the group were shocked by his decision.

The Germinal Organization was the kingpin of the underworld, and they had not needed to issue a bounty for the past three years. Was it really necessary to do so for a lowly traitor?

"My leader, you seem to overrate him. Zero barely managed to escape by the skin of teeth. What threat can he pose to us?"

"Hmph. That bastard actually dared to declare war against us, so I will make him pay for his arrogance! I will crush him! If Zero is captured alive, use all available means to extract his secrets! If he is killed, then dissect his body to figure it out!"

"What about those people?" asked the researcher as he pointed towards the corpses.

The boss was about to order them to be disposed of when a thought crossed his mind.

"How's the preparation for the super soldier project?" he asked.

"The basic theory has been perfected. We are about to proceed with cell and animal testing. We should be able to remove any side effects and carry out human experimentation in eight months"

"Skip the testing. Proceed with human experimentation immediately," interrupted the boss.

"Erm... the risks are too huge. Only Valkyrie test subjects can endure the procedure, and there aren't many of them. Rushing things might be unproductive."

"Experimentation can only create cannon fodder. Only vengeance can create true monsters," he replied enigmatically.

"He is the perfect subject," he added, pointing at No. 1. "Hatred will fuel him. No pain will stop him from his desire for revenge."

"I see."

The researcher nodded.

"Summon his soul," the boss ordered Hila.

Hila exhaled deeply before raising her hands in the air. They began to glow in a grayish light as the surrounding temperature instantly dropped.

Suddenly, ghostly wailing resonated in their surroundings, and No. 1's body seemed to respond to the cries.

A gray, misty cloud of fog began to materialize above No. 1 before flowing into his orifices.

The boss unfurled his jacket to retrieve a vial of crimson red fluid. Hila's expression changed when she saw the red fluid. Her eyes flickered with killing intent for a moment. She had to force herself to surpress her emotions.
