Chapter 234 Should I break your back?
"Why is everyone looking at me?" Scarlet asked them.
"What is that thing?" Captain Zorl asked her.
"It's a slime balloon, one small drop on something and it will engulf that particular thing completely. It's also hard and explosive proof. Don't ask me how it works, I just know that it works. My teacher created it, all credit goes to him."
She raised her arms, stretched and stood up slowly. Casually, she walked over to the slime balloon which had been placed down, on the ground and surrounded by armed mecha warriors.
This case was no longer RGB territory, it was owned by the mecha warriors. She reached her hand into the slime, and just as her fingers touched it, the closest mecha warrior stopped her.
"I know the device trapping him is yours governor but even trapped, this man is still dangerous. He can bite your ear off with his teeth, he can gab your neck or do something with his mental strength. It will be best if you give us directions and we will take care of it."
"Let them do it." Tion said.
"Yes." captain Zorl concurred.
She backed off, stepped away and nodded, "Just pull him out, but do it slowly because if you pull too hard you might break off a piece of his body. This kind of slime makes the body soft, as if it's that of a newborn."
The mecha warriors nodded and two of them reached their hands into the slime balloon, each of them took a hold of one hand and pulled Anton, as gently as they could.
Captain Vangar however could not stand to see such gentleness being lavished on a monster like Anton. The son of a bitch had just shot off the hand of an elderly woman! If they were not too late, the hand might have lost the chance to be regrown. That innocent elderly woman had screamed and cried in pain, so why should they care about the hands of the man who did that to her? "Why are you being gentle, he is an inhumane beast. After all the backs he has broken and the people has killed, nobody will blink an eye if he loses a few fingers or a hand in the process. just pull him out quickly."
Happy to do as they had been commanded, the mecha warriors increased their strength, and when Anton was finally pulled out completely, both of his hands were bent and two fingers had been torn off.
He was tossed on the ground like a piece trash, he was breathing laboriously and he stayed in one place, too weak to move. Scarlet took off her right hand glove and quickly reached down before anyone could stop her, and she dug her fingers into his lower back bone. Others could not see the green flame so she took advantage of it to inflict more pain on Anton.
Anton groaned, he screamed in pain and he convulsed, saliva poured of his mouth and his body twitched as if he was being electrocuted.
"How do you like it you son of a bitch? Should I break your back?" she asked him, making no effort to hide the disgust and disdain in her voice.
Tion was the one who pulled her up, and shielded her away from the cameras.
"It's a crime to torture criminals." he said, "In pubic anyway." he added.
"So they can be beheaded in public and that's legal but if I snap a few of bones in public it's a crime? What kind of law is that?" she asked him a whole lot of sarcasm dripping from her tone.
"I think it's best if you pay a visit to the hostages and their families, get your picture taken and we can return to the castle." Tion suggested.
She patted her outfit and put on her glove. "I want my slime balloon though, it should be taken back to the castle immediately."
Her voice was loud enough to be heard by the two captains, both of whom had an interest in the slime. At the moment, it was shrinking and becoming smaller in size since the foreign object had been taken out of it. Within an hour, it would be small enough to be hand sized.
Captain Zorl stopped her and said with a state of urgency, "Wait a minute governor, this is a very good tool for capturing dangerous criminals, I believe that the RGB officers will be much more efficient at their jobs_"
"What are you talking about? You clearly saw that this slime balloon can somehow stop exploding space pirates, the mecha warriors need it more." Captain Vangar cut him off and said. "Don't we?" he added a question, asking the closest mecha warriors around.
"Yes."
"It can save many lives."
"It should be ours."
"There is only one slime balloon at the moment and it cannot be divided into two. I will think about it and see what to do." This was an argument which would soon turn into a 'we are better than you.' competition.
One of Scarlet's guards came over and whispered, "There is a dead body behind the new pharmacy,"
"Who is it?" she asked him.
"One of the live streamers, I recognize him clearly. I think he came out to secretly record and he was shot by a stray energy bullet."
She passed on that information to captain Zorl who sent his men to collect the body and take it in for examination."
Scarlet left the officers to clear up the scene and prepare to make an official announcement. Somewhere out there was a family which would soon be in mourning because their son or husband had died.
If only the live steamer had heeded the warning and stayed in doors like they were all meant to.
She met the families of the survivors and shook a few hands, smiled and expressed her sympathies towards their plight.
They thanked her profusely for saving the lives of their loved ones, the little girl even hugged her. When Scarlet gave the girl a sweet and ruffled her hair, BSTV camera men took pictures and uploaded then on the BSTV official star page immediately.
The entire empire came to know that everyone had come out of the ordeal almost unscathed, this belief was soon shattered when captain Zorl addressed the media and informed them that their was one casualty, a young man.
Scarlet delivered the fresh soul of the young man and fell asleep again, unaware of another storm which was brewing somewhere else in the castle, the arrival of Amara.
