I Became A Zompirewolf

Ashton barely took 10 minutes to take care of all the terrorists hiding within Eula's security forces. To everyone's surprise, out of the hundred, 36 soldiers were actually working with the terrorists. No one could even think how carefully they had planned the attack on her.

Once Eula and the rest were safe, the mercenaries took their sweet time to force the truth out of the terrorists. Each member of the team selected one of them and used their own methods to torture them.

it went without saying Ashton decided to interrogate the person who potentially had the most information... Morrill. Nobody knew what Ashton had done to him, but judging from Morrill's desperate cries for help... it wasn't pleasant, to say the least.

By the time Mazton returned to help out with the investigation, Ashton already had all answers to their questions. The terrorists easily invaded Eula's security force because of her panic-stricken state.

As soon as she got the death threat, she immediately issued a recruitment notice for bodyguards. She did so as she knew that the couple dozen of guards she had back then couldn't possibly defend her.

While she contacted the mercenary association for help, her consorts were responsible for making sure no one with make IDs, mainly to weed out any potential terrorists in disguise, were able to enter the force. it was safe to say they did not do their job properly as the terrorists used fake IDs from academy graduate students to infiltrate Eula's security.

Ashton was honestly baffled by their negligence and incompetence. Had it not been for a few good recruits they accidentally hired and her previous bodyguards, Eula would have been killed long before she even placed a foot in the tower.

But thanks to this fact, the terrorists were unable to attack Eula. However, soon their plans turned even more sinister. Morrill decided that killing Eula wasn't going to be enough, thus he decided to get rid of the mercenaries that were assigned to her along with the legendary Admiral of the tower.

Had he managed to do so, his reputation among terrorists would transcend to limits he could never imagine achieving. In the end, his ambition screwed him over.

"Thankfully, a series of fortunate events spoiled their plans to kill Eula." Ashton completed his report, "However, when I tried to get information about other potential contract killers, Morrill lost his mind and bit his tongue to commit suicide."

Mazton sighed heavily while massaging his temples. The moment he accepted Eula's request, he knew it wasn't going to be easy for him. But he had not accepted trouble to appear even before the contract officially began.  In hindsight, it didn't matter whether he knew about it or not.

"You did a great job." Mazton patted Ashton's shoulder, "Had it not been for you and your quick thinking, we would have lost a lot more people in the skirmish. Also, thank you for proving I wasn't wrong to assign you this mission."

"I'm just doing my job so that I can pay off my debt as soon as possible," Ashton curtly replied.

"Oh right... considering how you saved so many lives onboard, I guess we can do something about it." Mazton said with a smile, "I can't let you off the hook for payment, but I can reduce it... by half."

"That's good enough," Ashton replied, "Now if you don't mind, I have a few things to take care of."

Mazton allowed him to leave while he gathered reports from everyone else. As soon as Ashton was outside, he was greeted by the ugly sight of Avvo, who happened to be waiting outside for him. But Ashton was in no mood to talk, he tried ignoring her and walked away.

Avvo, however, was persistent. After all, being a Giholo, she was used to having males follow her around and not the other way. Ashton still ignored her, but her following him around was slowly getting on his nerves.

"What the hell do you want?"

"The truth," Avvo replied, "You might have fooled everyone else, but there is no way in hell you'd know that the sergeant was a fake. You are clearly hiding something and I wanna know what."

"The only thing I'm hiding is my nuts, wanna see them?" Ashton sarcastically commented.

"If it'll get closer me to the truth, then sure." Avvo shamelessly replied while getting awkwardly close to Ashton, "We can do this any way you want, but I'm not leaving before knowing what you're up to."

"You can keep thinking about whatever you want to. I couldn't care less."

Saying so Ashton turned around and was about to leave when Avvo yelled at him, "You are one of those rare Seers, aren't you? The ones who have the power to see different futures?"

Ashton was surprised to hear her talk. Although he had only been in space for a while now, it was the first time he had heard someone possessing the power to see the future.

'Astaroth, are there really people in the galaxy capable of visualising the future? The actual future?'

[Hm... I can't say for certain. But it could be possible. I mean there are people who are quite literally immune to death so it wouldn't surprise me if there are individuals capable of saying future. Why are you asking it though?]

'Hm... I would like to have that ability. It would be very useful, especially in combat if it could be used to literally see an enemy's next move.' Ashton had already begun thinking about the ways to effectively use such a broken skill.

"Your silence is enough to confirm my suspicions." Avvo said with a smirk, "Out of everything I have learned about you, your ability as a Seer is the one thing I'm jealous of."

"You can think whatever you want. I have no interest in correcting you," Ashton replied and left.

"Of course, you will not admit it to the very end. After all, Seers are always hunted down like living treasures and treated like slaves." Avvo mumbled and took a communicating device once Ashton was out of sight, "Hey James, I might have found something interesting for you. Also, I want a double commission for turning in this beast."
