The Capo looked through the well-decorated ledger in his hand and asked the Color Fixer before him, "...Your wife is on the grudge list. Why isn't she here?"
Although he was prepared to die here today, he certainly hadn't expected this topic to become the magic words that would send the "Black Silence" before him into a rage.
The man who heard his question didn't say another word, but the tachi from the Mook Workshop that suddenly appeared in his hand showed his attitude—
—You will all die, and it will be a miserable death.
Damn it, all I did was ask why your wife wasn't here. Do you have to look at me like I'm the one who killed her?
The Capo pursed his lips. For a moment, he couldn't understand why the Black Silence was reacting this way. But regardless, his body moved before his brain, swinging a fist at the enemy who was raising his tachi.
Unfortunately, the range of a fist couldn't compare to a tachi, let alone the multiple sword waves Roland unleashed with it.
The moment the sword waves flew out, the Capo's reason overtook his physical instincts. The thought "I can't block this" appeared in his mind, and he used the chains on his body to pull himself out of the attack's trajectory.
The Underbosses and their underlings took this opportunity to surround him, thinking they could wear Roland down with numbers, having never witnessed a Color Fixer in action.
Unfortunately, after just a warm-up, Roland had already sent the leading Underboss and her followers to hell. All it took was a few slashes from the Mook Workshop's tachi.
"This thing is still useful."
Back in his active days, the weapon he had broken while borrowing Angelica's gloves was this very tachi. Its ability to release multiple sword waves greatly supplemented his long-range options. Unfortunately, the shape of the tachi meant its durability was lacking, making it unsuitable for clashing blades.
To avoid breaking "Angelica's memento," Roland returned the tachi to the gloves. In its place, he equipped two revolvers, also from the Logic Atelier.
Switching to pistols meant he could no longer stand and fight all the incoming Thumb members head-on. The limitations of the revolver design meant these two heavy pistols from the Logic Atelier only had twelve shots.
Even if Roland's reloading skills were godlike, he couldn't possibly kill all of the hundreds of Thumb members present before they charged him. And simply cutting them down one by one was too light a punishment for these bastards who dared to speak of Angelica. It was better to let them experience fear.
So, Roland turned and ran. He broke through two Underbosses trying to block him, putting a bullet in each of their heads and leaving two headless corpses behind, before diving into the nightclub that served as the Thumb's branch headquarters.
At this time, there were still many patrons in the nightclub, wasting their lives and money. It seemed the Southern Thumb's Capo hadn't considered that Roland would be so unreasonable as to dash into the nightclub, and so hadn't ordered it to be shut down.
Unfortunately, even if he wanted to shut it down now, it was too late. The guests, high on drugs and dancing wildly in the pool, wouldn't listen to his commands. Even if his underlings used some violence, they could at most only snap a few of the nearby guests out of their hallucinations.
Under the organization of the Underbosses, the underlings were divided into squads of about fifteen and dispersed into the crowd of the nightclub.
Their job was not to harm the Black Silence, but simply to report Roland's position to their superiors before they were all wiped out. Once they had Roland's position, they would use their lives to hold him down, giving the Capo a chance to defeat him.
Unfortunately, Roland, who had blended into the crowd using the sound-absorbing effect of his gloves, was not so easily caught. Instead, one squad after another died silently from gunshots in the dark.
By the time other squads moving through the crowd found their bodies, they too were ambushed by Roland from behind, their mouths and noses covered, and their brains shot out through their chins with a revolver.
During the long wait, an Underboss couldn't help but ask her superior, "Capo, has our strategy failed?"
None of the squads they had sent in had sent back any news, nor had any of them emerged from the other side of the crowd. Although fighting a Color Fixer indeed required them to make bitter sacrifices, sending squad after squad to their deaths so pointlessly was too ugly.
But the Capo could do nothing about it. He had a one-time-use dagger that used W Corp's Singularity technology. If it hit Roland, the power of the dimensional rift could tear him apart. But without knowing Roland's position, even if he had ten thousand deadly weapons, he was helpless.
But soon, he no longer needed to worry about finding Roland.
After a series of intense screams, all the guests in the dance pool scattered and fled, revealing Roland, standing on a pile of the corpses of all the underlings who had entered the pool.
This terrifying "Black Silence" had even artistically stacked their bodies into the shape of a tower. In the words of the Liu Association, a jingguan—a tower of corpses.
"Come on. Let's fight to the death with honor."
The Capo took a deep breath, hid the dagger among the chains on his body, and launched a continuous assault on Roland.
"Fine by me. I've had my fun anyway."
Having thoroughly vented his anger on those underlings, Roland was starting to lose interest. After all, even if he killed all these Thumb members, Angelica couldn't be brought back to life.
So, in the end, he finished off all the remaining Thumb members with his ultimate move, Furioso, which utilized all his weapons.
"My, my. To wipe out all of the Thumb's southern members single-handedly. Roland, are you not at all afraid of being hunted down and dying in some sewer?"
"Ye Lan? You liar, you still dare to show your face before me?"
Before Roland could finish his sentence, Ye Lan leaped back a dozen meters. Along his path, twelve bullets from the Logic Atelier's revolvers embedded themselves in front of him in a straight line.
"Hey, hey! I came to tell you some good news. Can't you at least let me finish talking?"
