What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company?

Chapter 313: When The Original Owner Shows Up

Surprisingly, the seller got there faster than I did.

They even had a group of cargo drones carrying all the boxes prepped up for delivery floating behind him.

Despite the fact that he was wearing a cloak and mask that covered his face, I could tell from his body language that he was nervous.

Iʼm not sure if it was because this was his first time making a black market sale or, more likely, these human organs heʼs selling have some troubling history behind it.

I approached the guy and he visibly jumped a little when he saw me approach but relaxed when he saw me.

”Are you the buyer?” He asked.

I nodded before looking at the boxes behind him, ”Thatʼs all the stuff?”

”What? Oh! Yes, yes! Umm… All of them are right there. Twenty crates for sixty million Credits. You have the Credits right?”

I pulled out a gold Credit Chip and slotted it into my Codex to transfer the money into it, ”Got it right here.”

He skipped forward excitedly to receive it but I pulled back and held up my palm to stop him.

”Hold on a moment.”

He stopped and I saw his hand reaching behind him, probably so that he could grab his gun.

I wasnʼt too worried about it because I believe heʼs just worried that I was trying to rob his stuff or something and wanted to prepare for the worst.

Even if he did try to shoot me, my shield should be able to absorb his shots with enough time for me to blast him with my shotgun that I have on my back. At this distance, I doubt I would be at a disadvantage even if he shot first.

I nodded in the direction of the boxes, ”Before we do this, I need to know where you get those from? Do I need to worry about some people coming after me for possessing this?”

He hesitated and that was pretty much all I needed to know.

”So youʼre going to pass off this problem to me? Who did you get this from? Depending on your answer, I might not even buy it anymore.”

He grimaced, ”I… May have taken this off some other doctor who may or may not try to get this back…”

”Is that why you want this to be taken off the station?”

”Thatʼs right… Itʼs only by chance that I even managed to get this stock.”

”Right… And how dangerous is that doctor?”

”Err… Donʼt worry about it…”

I plugged the Credit Chip back into my Codex, ”Alright, since Iʼm obviously doing you a favour for this, Iʼm dropping the price to fifty million instead.”

”Wait, wait… Thatʼs way too low! I took an insanely big risk to take all of this away! Fifty million Credits is way too low!”

”Uh-huh… And you need someone to take this off your hands right now if you donʼt want to be caught with it, right? Right now you can sell it to me for that price or wait for another person to pay you the price that you are looking for while risking the doctor finding you.”

Hey, no reason to not try and get the best price for myself, right? Maximise profits and minimise losses, one of the key things you should look out for in sales.

And since I have identified a potential flaw in his product, thereʼs no reason for me not to exploit it right? Especially when he only got these products through exploiting someone else.

The seller looked at the boxes behind him then turned back to me, ”I… In that case… I…”

Footsteps came from around the corner and both of us turned in that direction.

I wasnʼt too worried since this walkway only connected to my ship which meant the people walking here would most likely be heading towards the ship and there were only two people aside from myself currently outside.

Sure enough, Amber and Mara turned the corner, both of them looking quite satisfied for some reason.

I was just about to raise my hand to greet them when the seller suddenly let out a panicked cry, ”What?! You never told me about this! If I knew about this, I would never buy it from you!!”

I turned back to him, wondering what the hell he was talking about. Did he get a call from someone or something?

That was when I realised he was pointing an accusatory finger at me while trying to move around me so that the boxes of human organs were behind me instead.

I didnʼt need to be a genius to realise that he was trying to make it look like the seller of these organs instead.

But… Why? Is it because heʼs scared that others would see him with this stock so itʼs better to just abandon it?

No wait… He took them by chance from a ʼdoctorʼ... No way…

He turned around and started to run past Amber and Mara but both women stretched out their hands and caught him before he could get away.

”My, my… Where do you think youʼre going?” Mara asked, a smirk forming on her lips. ”Just as I thought I wouldnʼt see that again… Here we are?”

The seller paled, ”Wait! Wait! This has nothing to do with me! I only just found out where those came from!”

Mara turned to me and I had to do my best to hide my smile.

”Really now? How interesting… You tried to buy from her though?”

”I didnʼt know it was stolen from you! I swear!”

”Hmm… Fine, get lost.”

Both Mara and Amber released him and he quickly scrambled away from them.

The two girls then started advancing towards me, trying their best to look as threatening as possible.

”Now how about that? A beautiful girl here with all my stolen stuff… I wonder what I should do now?”

I tried to act confused and pointed at the seller who was slowly retreating away, ”Wait… Heʼs the one trying to sell to me!”

Amber pulled out her pistol, ”Nice try. But itʼs obvious that you are the seller since the things are on your side, isnʼt it?”

I pretended to panic, ”Wait, wait! Iʼm a buyer! Not the seller!”

Amber lifted the pistol to point it at my head, ”Nice try. Any last words?”

The guy got the message when the weapon was drawn and quickly ran off, disappearing around the corner.

I pointed at my face and nodded, ”Wait, wait! I--”

Instead of firing at me, she suddenly pointed the gun at Mara instead and shot at her.

The gunshots echoed through the hallway and I was sure the guy running away could still hear it.

Obviously Maraʼs shield blocked all the shots from reaching her and I raised an eyebrow at why she would change targets like that.

Mara turned to her, ”Really?”

Amber huffed, ”What? Youʼre telling me you would try to shoot her instead?”

”Oh no way, I would shoot at you as well.”

”Exactly.”

I coughed, ”Ahem… So these belonged to you, Mara?”

The doctor turned back to me, ”Well, yes and no. To explain, this was part of my plan to get the thugs to mess up my place. Itʼs not actually mine.”

I turned to look at the boxes, ”So… Err… What do we do with this then? I originally wanted to buy this for fifty million Credits to sell at Denibi System.”

Mara waved dismissively at the boxes, ”You can just take it, Tera. I was already expecting this to disappear instead of getting it back. Anyway, itʼs not like I need any of this in the first place.”

I turned back to the boxes behind me, ”This is worth a lot of money though… I donʼt mind splitting with you though?”

”I didnʼt pay a single Credit for that. I just called in some favours.”

I swivelled back to stare at her, ”You… Called in a favour thatʼs worth at least fifty to sixty million Credits?”

”I did say that I earned a lot more as an information broker, didnʼt I?”

Ah… I think I know now… She probably got this by agreeing to either give away information or promising not to sell specific information about them to get all of this…

She continued, ”Anyway, since Iʼm part of your crew now, I would still benefit from the sale of this anyway right?”

”Well… I guess? But I thought you might need some capital to start up your new clinic on the ship or something?”

”I do have savings, Tera. And I didnʼt lose everything from this either. All of my things are already on your ship and the only thing I would be missing from this would be new clientele.”

I guess thatʼs true…

Amber grinned, ”So our next destination is already decided then?”

I nodded, ”Weʼll be selling this off at Denibi station since I already know the black market rates there. Assuming that the price is still the same.”

My two lovers smiled at me.

”So when do we set off?”

Well, right now I guess?
