Tomorrow's Ark

Chapter 16: Penguin Logistics

"Those son of bitches did what exactly?!"

The sound of a phone cracking could be heard echoing from inside the hangar. The pieces fall from his hand and clattered to the ground

"God damn it. How stupid can the Siracusan dogs get?"

The penguin grumbled to itself. It wear a white shirt with a T*pac picture printed on the front, accompanied a golden chain wrapping around its neck

This penguin has the exaggerated swagger of a first-class gangster, with an equally swag name to boost his gangster image

He is the Emperor. Sole handler, manager, boss, and chief executive of the infamous Penguin Logistic.

And right now, Emperor knows some little shithead's got it in their peanut-sized brain to fucking mess with the slum

"Woah, bossu. Wou louk mad. Wot hwappened?"

Next to him, a redhead commented. She is munching on an apple pie while talking, so the question came out a bit muffled

She's Exusiai, Penguin Logistic employee. Part-time courier. Part-time sniper. Part-time apple pie baker. The three jobs are not necessarily mutually exclusive

"Don't talk while you're eating" Emperor waved his wing at her, and the girl started chomping down on the food. She swallowed them soon after

"Sorry boss. I mean to ask what happened"

"Things happened, Exusiai. the local Mafioso decided to kidnap some idol named Sora today, and now we have to deal with this mess before it blow up"

Since Emperor was already informed of the matter by one of his private source, the news hadn't spread far yet. He briefed them of the situation

The girl's expression changed the more she hears

Not only had the bodyguard been murdered, an innocent has also been involved. In this context, the Sicilian had really broken the law set by the Rat King

"Isn't kidnapping illegal? This is bad, right Croissant?" She turned and ask her friend

From the other side of the table, a Forte looked over. Her hair is of a fierce auburn color, from which two horns curved up. The girl blink at the question

"Can confirm. Kidnapping folks without their consent's kinda mental"

She took a glug from the glass of juice from her hand

Croissant's head prompty snapped back as Emperor slapped it from behind, spraying grape juice over the counter

"Be serious, you two" The penuine crossed his arms (fins?) "This is not your usual run off the mill heist. An idol is at danger here, and more will enter the stake if we don't act fast"

With the recent incident in the slum where an unknown mercenary wrecked havoc on the street, LGD has been pouring over to enforce their rule on this section of the city

Anyone with half a brain would know it's merely an excuse to exert...ah..population control on the resident of the slum as per its ruler order

Wei Yenwu has a tendency to stick his nose where it doesn't belong, that's what

"In short order, we only have to go after the mafia and save that girl, right?" She bounced up with a smile "Sounds like a job for us!"

The Sankta made to reach for her beloved babies, but Emperor who was accustomed to her impulsiveness had already pushed the gun out of her reach

"Sit the hell down. I'm not done yet"

He slapped a folder onto the table

"This is the bill for last month's property damage, including arson, vadalism, and intentional assault"
