Chapter 36: 36 [50 PS] "So it's you?!"
"Good job, Obadiah!"
"I've been working my butt off for days, helping you build this Iron Man suit, and you just turn around and betray me, trying to kill me?!"
"I'm going to personally make sure you're gone!"
Humph!
Even though she had already prepared herself, when Kagura found herself surrounded by a dozen or so masked men armed with machetes and clubs, her mind was still filled with curses for Obadiah.
They'd chosen a secluded street, making sure no one was around. To avoid leaving evidence, they were using cold weapons instead of firearms.
The attackers appeared to be hired goons from various gangs, and there were quite a few of them.
Even someone with professional military training would have a tough time surviving such a well-planned ambush.
Heh, Obadiah Stane, you sure know how to cover your tracks, don't you?
According to his plan, he would eliminate Tony Stark tonight, and while he was at it, take out the "tool," Kagura Hitomi.
This way, everyone who knew about his takeover of Stark Industries would be silenced.
Then, he could take over Stark Industries and turn it into Stane Industries without anyone stopping him.
But...
Did you ever think about the possibility of getting backstabbed?
She smirked slightly and adjusted her tactical gloves.
"You guys all have it tough, so why don't you all come at me at once?"
"I'll try to control my strength, after all, we're in the U.S."
Although killing wasn't a problem for her, since she had no qualms about it, this was Los Angeles, not the barren mountains of Afghanistan.
After a quick moment of thought, she decided to disable them all and let the police handle it.
After all, the goons Obadiah hired were probably on the police's wanted list anyway.
As for whether they lived or died, whether they'd be crippled, that would be left to fate.
The dozen or so masked men around her exchanged looks, clearly surprised by Kagura's calm attitude.
After a short pause, one of them shouted, "Get her!"
Instantly, the group charged, swinging their machetes and clubs with a battle cry.
Sigh...
Kagura sighed and muttered under her breath.
You guys are even worse than the Ten Rings gang...

"Ahhh—!"
The man froze in fear, his body stiffening in place as he stammered, "Wh... What questions?! I'll tell you anything! Just don't kill me!"
"I'm not killing anyone, I just broke all their bones," she replied nonchalantly.
"So, who's your employer? Tell me, and I won't break your bones too."
"O-okay... okay!" The man fell to his knees, shaking.
"It's a big shot, looks wealthy, big beard, bald, wears sunglasses. Our boss made a deal with him..."
"Got it." she nodded thoughtfully.
"I knew it..."
"Well, um... Can I go now?"
The last goon trembled, pleading. "I was just in it for the money! I didn't really want to hurt anyone! Please, just let me go, please, sister, please!"
"Sister?!" she frowned.
"Go die."
With a swift kick to his head, the man collapsed, unconscious.
"Do I look that old to you? Humph!" She pouted in displeasure, looking at the goons sprawled around her.
"Oh well, everything's solved. Time to head home..."
At that moment, a murderous intent emanated from behind her.
Who would've thought that a man who had just had his bones broken could still struggle to get up, grabbing his machete...
Fine, I respect that you're tough.
Kagura's holographic UI monitored the man's every movement.
"Sigh..."
She turned around, shaking her head in disbelief. "Why do you even bother?"
The man, still clutching the machete, shouted, "Don't underestimate me! Even someone like me still has..."
'Boom!'
Before he could finish his sentence, a heavy blow struck him from behind.
Huh?
She was surprised.
Who was that?
The man collapsed, and a red-haired woman emerged from behind him.
"Though he's a small-time gangster, I kind of like his guts," the woman remarked, flicking her hair.
"You're good, almost took my job."
