Path to Becoming the Greatest Space Mercenary-Chapter 120 A Risky Distraction (2)

"Hehe. If you had a place like that out here, we should have come earlier."

"Yeah, you're right. But I just had to make sure that you were into that kind of thing first. I've brought a couple other girls with me before, but they all ran away screaming when they got inside."

"Oh, they must have been prudes then. That means I wasn't the first one though. I'm starting to feel upset."

"Sorry babydoll. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you. How about I buy you some expensive clothes."

"Yippee. You're the best."

The guards standing watch outside of the warehouse that Grito had once been held in suddenly heard loud and obnoxious voices approaching them.

From the content of the conversation, it was easy enough for them to imagine the type of people talking. And the moment that the two came into view, it all but confirmed their suspicions.

A man and woman, both wearing the absolute bare minimum to avoid breaking public decency laws came around the corner.

With just a single glance, it was clear that they had been indulging in certain activities before making their way here.

The guards could see red marks on both of their necks, and what clothing items they had on seemed to be drenched in sweat.

"Who the hell does something like that in the midst of a terrorist attack?" One of the guards muttered in bafflement.

Of course, their boss was the one that had instigated the entire incident, but that was beside the point. All of them were astonished to see people so oblivious to the state of the colony.

"You two, stop right there. This area is restricted." The leader of the four guards watching the back of their base said.

"Huh, what you talking about?" The guy of the pair said in an abrasive manner.

"This warehouse is the property of our lord. We have valuable items currently stored inside and are tasked with protecting them. I don't know where you're coming from or where you're going but find another route."

"We don't care about your stuff or whatever. We're just heading home. The road is public property, so just continue protecting the building and let us go by." The woman said, a disgruntled look on her face.

What she said was true, the guards had no right over the street, and normally they would not have been so cautious. However, they had made quite commotion in one of the hangars and it was only a matter of time before the authorities came looking for them. Right now, they were waiting at this base for an extraction team to come and take them off the colony while the police were still busy with the aftermath of the recent attack.

"You two don't seem to know this, but a terrorist incident recently occurred throughout the entire colony. In light of that, we are being extra cautious. I'll ask again nicely, please go another way."

This time the guard put a bit more force into his force and shook the laser rifle on his back. He had been trying to end things cordially since causing a scene could lead to trouble, but his patience would only go so far.

"Woah, are you really threatening us?" The blonde-haired man said, in exasperated shock. "Although, I could get into that. I'm sure that my girl wouldn't mind having a few more playmates. How about you guys join us the next time."

"Shouldn't you get my permission for something like that before saying it. Though, I admit that it might be interesting."

For a moment the lead guard could swear that he saw the two people before him glancing behind him, but the instant he felt that something was amiss and was about to turn around, the man grabbed the woman and brought her into his embrace.

He held his arm up under her breasts and empathized them. This caught all of the guard's attention. Obviously, from the moment they first saw the pair, it was clear that the woman was beautiful. And the scene in front of them was certainly eye-catching.

"Why don't we share contact information, and I'll message all of you when it's time to have some fun. Then we can just go about our way for now. There's no point in being so uptight."

"We are not here for your games. This is the last time I'll ask. Vacate the area."

Finally fed up, the guards pulled out their weapons and pointed them at the debaucherous pair that had wandered into the area.

"Okay, okay. But it's your loss. Let's go."

The guards watched as the two of them went back the way that they came. It seemed that the strange encounter was finally over.

Still, the lead guard could not help but feel that something was suspicious about what had just occurred.

"The timing feels almost too perfect. Right after everything that has happened today, they show up and cause a minor disturbance."

His instincts telling him that something was wrong, the man turned around and followed where he saw the two people glance earlier.

There he saw a vent around five meter up the building's back wall. It did not appear to be anything special, and there was nothing out of place as far as he could tell.

Yet, only a few minutes later did he receive a transmission from inside the base that one of their members had been found unconscious and that there was evidence that the commination system had been hacked.

"No, it couldn't be." He murmured in abject terror.

Following up on his concerns, he had one of his men check the vent and they found signs that it had been recently tampered with.

There were also some brown and orange hairs found at the entrance that most certainly should have been there.

All at once, each of the guards understood what had happened. The infiltrators had already made an escape, and the pair that had seemingly appeared at random had been a distraction.

"We need to go after them at once."

"But sir, it's already been over twenty minutes since they left. There's no telling where they might be now."

"Also, the extraction team will be here soon. If we're missing when they arrive, it won't end well for us."

"You fools! Once our lord learns about our blunders, we're as good as dead anyway. If we catch those people quickly and bring them to him, we just might be able to save ourselves. Now go, quickly."

With that, the four guards that had failed in their duty ran off after the two that had so thoroughly distracted them. Unfortunately, they never were able to find them.
