Chapter 4086 Compassion
The sudden action by Shimizu Ritsu was unexpected by everyone. Shimizu Mai also didn't expect her brother to make a move so suddenly. The other two had just accepted Shimizu Ritsu as one of their own, and they never expected him to suddenly attack like this.
Akiyama Shunsuke didn't know any fighting techniques to begin with; the only skill he'd improved was swordsmanship. Now that he didn't even have a sword in his hand, how could he use it? His hand was twisted, rendering him unable to resist, and he was immediately pinned to the ground.
Ritsu Shimizu skillfully grabbed the pistol that the other party had just put away, released the safety, and pressed it directly against Shunsuke Akiyama's head.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Shimizu Mai quickly called out, because she could clearly feel that her brother was really radiating murderous intent, and it was quite strong.
He Xinchangping, who was standing next to him, reacted quickly. He had already spotted the spot where his pistol had fallen earlier. At this moment, when Shimizu Ritsu suddenly sprang up, he immediately accelerated, rolled over, picked up the pistol from the ground, and then aimed it at Shimizu Ritsu.
Compared to Akiyama Shunsuke, his combat ability is slightly stronger. At least he can definitely fire a gun without any problems, and his accuracy is also acceptable. Didn't he hit Shimizu Ritsu on his first shot, just not a vital spot?
His fighting style is a complete copy of Shimizu Mai's. This fighting style is quite comprehensive, including the special close combat techniques mentioned earlier, as well as some firearms fighting techniques when armed.
However, he currently only possesses the lowest level, C-rank ability. Although his previous confession triggered a special reward that allowed him to copy this fighting technique, the problem was that only Akiyama Shunsuke was present during the confession, so only the lowest level of points reward was triggered.
When he confessed to Akiyama Shunsuke, only Shimizu Mai watched, which resulted in very few reward points for both times. In addition, the points he had accumulated before were not enough to upgrade the key fighting skills.
Although he has now replicated the same ability, he is no match for the siblings Shimizu Ritsu and Shimizu Mai.
He was quite flustered now, because he was much smarter than Akiyama Shunsuke. Just from the information that Shimizu Ritsu had revealed earlier, he seemed to have understood why Shimizu Ritsu had suddenly become so aggressive.
That's right, Shimizu Ritsu just called him by name, which means the other party knows him.
Then why do you think the other person knows him?
Clearly, this older brother wasn't there to claim kinship with Shimizu Mai; he had simply received a mission to deal with them. As Shimizu Mai had mentioned before, someone was targeting system holders like them, and this Shimizu Ryu was someone they had hired.
In that instant, Shimizu Mai's relationship with them was no longer the same as before. The worst outcome would be that she would soon become their enemy.
As fate would have it, just as Shimizu Ritsu had subdued Akiyama Shunsuke, he immediately shouted at Shimizu Mai, "Mai, grab the other one!"
Shimizu Mai was stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding what was going on. Shouldn't her brother be explaining his disappearance to her? Why was he suddenly ordering her to capture He Xinchangping?
“My task is with those two!” Shimizu Ritsu said immediately and simply.
Shimizu Mai immediately understood what was going on, after all, the two of them had been training abroad since they were young and had been working together on missions since they were fourteen or fifteen.
Because of her outstanding abilities, Shimizu Ritsu has always served as a squad leader. So when she heard her brother's words, Shimizu Mai's subconscious physical reaction was to carry out the order.
But as soon as she turned to look at He Xinchangping, her rationality returned and she hesitated again. Yes, the scenes from before flashed through her mind.
Although she only met these two people tonight, and all she knows now are their names, the problem is that everything they experienced tonight has created a bond between them.
First of all, even when Shimizu Ritsu was an enemy, the three of them fought side by side and cooperated wholeheartedly, right? One of the three pillars of life is sharing a gun. Although they were temporary teammates, they were still teammates.
Secondly, both He Xinchangping and Akiyama Shunsuke saved her life tonight.
Akiyama Shunsuke tackled her to the ground, preventing her from being seriously injured by the explosion of the flame bullets, and just now He Xin Changping timely stopped Shimizu Ritsu from shooting her.
That's right, Shimizu Ritsu now understood why the enemy hadn't attacked after she fell into the trap. It was because He Xin Changping arrived in time and stopped his brother's shooting. Otherwise, she would have been blown to the head. With his brother's marksmanship, he would never have missed at that distance.
So these two were not only comrades-in-arms but also saved her life, which made Shimizu Mai hesitate when she suddenly decided to take action against them.
Although she had been a mercenary since childhood, she hadn't reached the point of being completely devoid of humanity.
While they could be ruthless towards enemies, the mercenaries maintained a very good rapport. Indeed, the mercenary group they belonged to had a very positive team atmosphere, not the kind of organization that trained its members to be killing machines. Therefore, Shimizu Mai couldn't bring herself to harm the two of them at this moment.
"Mai!" Seeing her younger sister suddenly not responding, Shimizu Ritsu urged her anxiously.
“Brother, both of them saved my life,” Shimizu Mai said immediately. “Can you let them go? I only dragged them into this because of you. I can’t bring myself to do it.”
Ritsu Shimizu frowned; things were getting complicated. He knew his sister's personality well; compared to him, she was far more emotional. They'd encountered similar situations frequently during previous missions.
After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke up: "You didn't drag them into this. They were the target from the beginning. You're the one who wasn't on the list."
There's no need for Shimizu Ritsu to explain this; Shimizu Mai already knew. She had long known that her brother had come on a mission to deal with these system holders.
However, she wasn't there to talk about that. Instead, she said directly to her brother, "Brother, can you give up this mission? I really don't want to fight them. Just let them go. As for whether they'll be hunted down by others, we don't care."
Shimizu Mai originally came to find her brother, and now that he's been found, letting him abandon the mission and release the two is considered repaying their previous kindness. She wants to end this matter here, and she also wants to advise her brother not to take on any more missions related to this; she feels the situation is too complicated, and too many people have died.
Although Shimizu Mai's idea was good, the problem was that this wasn't a task Shimizu Ritsu could simply abandon. With a wry smile, Shimizu Ritsu asked, "Do you know who I got this task from?"
