Villain: Transmigrated Into A NTR Manga As The Antagonist

Chapter 136: Sic Semper Tyrannis

Alex and Emily were taken to the hospital shortly after the deadly chase, which resulted in numerous deaths and extensive property damage. With the other suspects dead, having been riddled full of dozens of bullets, Alex was the only person left who the police could interrogate. Well, he and Emily, thus, as he received treatment for his bullet wound. The police tried their best to get him to talk.

It was not just the local police who were interrogating Alex, but rather the feds had been called in after it was confirmed that machine guns were used in the car chase. And though the ATF had found the submachine guns wielded by the hitmen, they found no trace of the weapon Alex had used to riddle them full of bullets.

Naturally, these alphabet bois were less concerned about how a bunch of would be hitmen had illegally acquired multiple illegal machine guns, and were instead more focused on Alex, an otherwise law-abiding citizen, who might potentially own something he wasn’t supposed to. The older of these two men had grey hair, a mustache, and glasses. He was rather rotund for a federal agent, and was trying his best to intimidate Alex into giving himself up.

“Listen, kid! We know you used an automatic weapon to kill those men. Your neighbors reported sounds of automatic gunfire coming from your house. And yet we have not found the weapon you used to kill those men.

The coroner reports that they were riddled with multiple 7.62 millimeter projectiles whose ballistics are consistent with a 7.62×39 round fired out of a 23 inch barrel. So… I’m guessing you have an RPK stashed somewhere. I’ve already contacted the judge and am waiting for a warrant to tear your property apart in search of the weapon. If you confess now, you can save us all some trouble!”

Alex had no respect for the ATF. In fact, he outright hated everybody who worked for the government agency. If he had the chance to kill these two agents and get away with it, he most certainly would. Thus, he simply stared at them silently like a cold-blooded killer, and raised his middle finger to express how little he thought about their worthless lives.

The moment that Alex gave these two feds the bird, they became outraged. With the younger of the two rolling up his sleeves, and approaching Alex with a menacing gaze. After all, Alex was currently handcuffed to the hospital bed and couldn’t fight back.

Which was, of course, the only way that a coward like an ATF agent would ever put up a fight against a man like Alex. Thus, Alex simply smirked smugly at the man who tried to intimidate him before saying a single phrase.

Before the agent could assault Alex, his radio activated, and alerted him to the grim reality of his situation.

“That’s a negative on the warrant. The judge has denied to grant us permission to search the kid’s property. Including his vehicle that is shot up in his driveway.”

The agent immediately flipped out when he heard this, before yelling at the man on the other end of the radio.

“What the hell? How is that even possible? There is plenty of evidence to support the fact that this kid has a machine gun! You tell that judge that he can kiss my ass! I’ll search the property myself, warrant or no warrant!”

Alex frowned when he heard this. He had every intention of shooting this man in the face for even threatening to violate his constitutional rights. But luckily for him, he was cuffed to the hospital bed and did not have a firearm on him.

Just when the man had threatened to invade Alex’s home, Diana stepped into the room. She was wearing a rather sleek black dress and was wearing expensive jewelry. Her coat was made out of black mink fur, as she threatened the federal agent with a lawsuit.

“If you do that, I will have your entire federal agency sued out of existence! Don’t you assholes have something better to do other than to harass my son? Like I don’t know, maybe going after the actual criminals armed with illegal machine guns? How about you look into where those thugs got such weapons, rather than harass innocent civilians? Oh wait, I forgot, the ATF is full of cowards who wouldn’t dare try to bring actual criminals to justice!”

The younger of the two ATF agents glared at Diana, and was just about to curse her out for speaking so rudely to him, despite the fact that as an employee of the ATF he wholly deserved to be treated like pig shit. That is until his older partner stopped him. The middle-aged ATF Agent forced a smile on his ugly face, as he addressed Diana with the utmost politeness.

“Mrs. Johnson… I did not expect to see you here. Is this your son? Well, I believe that settles the matter… I am sorry for the trouble we have caused. You two have a nice night!”

Diana was not the least bit calm after seeing the ATF agent cower at her and instead was quick to correct him on two things.

“It’s Miss Johnson now… And if you go and harass Miss Parker, I swear to god I will make sure the two of you are unemployed for the rest of your lives!”

The older of the two ATF Agents bowed his head silently, as if to say he understood the severity of the woman’s threat, before scurrying off into the shadows like a rat. Once they were gone, Diana sighed heavily and shook her head, before glaring at her son.

“Honestly Alex, machine guns? Where did you even get your hands on such a thing?”

Alex chuckled, and dismissed the idea entirely, before shifting the conversation to something far more important.

“Don’t worry about it… Mom, who were those guys, and why were they trying to kill me?”

Diana blushed slightly as she heard her son call her by the term “Mom” for the first time in years. If not for the fact that the boy had been shot and had been interrogated by the feds for hours on end. Then she would have made a big scene about the whole thing.

But Diana had far more serious concerns on her mind. After all, the moment Diana watched the news and realized it was her son’s car involved in the shootout, she had spent a considerable amount of money investigating who put out the hit on her son, and to get any potential charges that Alex might incur dropped.

It was her power and influence as a billionaire, and a member of the American Social Elite that got the Judge to deny any warrants that the authorities might use in an attempt to find evidence of Alex’s wrongdoing.

And though the mature beauty had succeeded in preventing Alex and Emily from being arrested, she had failed on the other front. Only finding out one vital piece of information, but not the identity of who was responsible. Diana sat down on the bed next to her son, as she explained to him that they were both marked for death. There was a deeply worried expression on her flawless face as she did so.

“I’m afraid, Alex, that you and I both have an open contract on our heads. Somebody is willing to pay a considerable amount of money to kill the both of us. I have my suspicions about who it might be, but I have yet to collect any proof about their involvement.

In the meantime, I have spent a considerable amount of money to ensure that you, me, and the rest of our family are safe from these would be assassins. As we speak, the windows in the penthouse are being replaced with bulletproof glass, and armed security is now patrolling the Casino floors.

The entire floor that our penthouse is on is guarded 24/7 by armed security and is under constant video surveillance. I have also ordered a few armored limousines and SUVs that will be taking us everywhere we wish to go from now on. And I have asked you, aunt Shannon, to live with us for the time being.

Despite the fact that his mother ensured him of his safety, Alex was still concerned. Without a doubt, Amahle was an assassin sent to kill him and his mother. And because of this, he could not let her get a chance to do so.

Thus, he began to formulate a plan on how to capture the woman and interrogate her in a way that would reveal the identity of her employer. As for Diana, she pet Alex’s golden hair before assuring him everything would be alright.

“Don’t you worry, Mommy will have this resolved soon enough… In the meantime, I’m going to go check on Emily. I doubt those two pricks took my warning seriously. You just focus on getting better.”

After saying this, Diana left the room, where Alex continued to think about how to trap an assassin.

It did not take Diana long to reach Emily’s room. After all, the girl was resting just across the hall. And like she suspected, the moment Diana entered the room, the two ATF agents were grilling Emily for information about Alex, and the machine gun he was in unlawful possession of.

Emily was not as wise or strong as Alex and did not keep her mouth shut. All she did was deny knowing anything about a machine gun.

“For the last fucking time, I have no idea what the two of you are talking about! I did not see what happened. I was hiding alone in the basement! Please stop harassing me!”

The ATF agents were growing tired of Emily’s refusal to answer their questions and were about to threaten the young woman with legal action, when Diana interrupted them while waving her cellphone at them.

“I thought I might find the two of you here… You boys might want to check your phones, because your superiors would like to have a word with you…”

The older of the two agents scoffed as if Diana were an idiot. But he decided to check the woman’s phone to humor her, and when he did, he saw a message that was an order from his superior telling him to return to his home office. It was very clear that the man he reported to was not the least bit pleased with his actions, and that he and his partner were most likely about to be fired.

When the man’s expression shrank, his partner began to panic and looked at his own phone, to see that he received the same message, causing him to sulk. It was only then that the younger of the two agents got up in Diana’s face and threatened her.

“You just made a dangerous enemy today…”

Diana scoffed when she heard this, before issuing her own threat in an act of retaliation to the federal agent’s comments.

“Threaten me again, and I will have my son come and deal with the two of you. Though I sincerely doubt a coward like you would ever have the stones to try to harm me or my family. Just know if you do attempt something so foolish, I will have you and your family buried in the Mojave… Now get the hell out of here before I call the hospital security!”

The two ATF agents cursed beneath their breaths as they fled from the scene. They would indeed be fired from their jobs and blacklisted by every major employer in the united states. After all, Diana had not spent her years as Richard’s wife being just a pretty face. She had made connections across the country, including among politicians, and of course those with actual power: the corporations and the bankers.

Since these two men had harassed her son, and even gone so far as to do the same to Emily, she made sure their families would leave them, and they would end up homeless. After all, now that her son had once more accepted her as her mother. Diana had become a lioness, one who would do anything to protect her cubs.

Once the two agents fled the scene, Emily revealed herself to be a nervous wreck as she demanded to see Alex.

“Where is Alex? I want to see Alex! Right now! Please, Miss Johnson…. I don’t feel safe without him nearby!”

Diana smirked when she heard this and sat down next to Emily while attempting to calm the girl who had just been through a serious ordeal.

“Don’t worry, Alex is just down the hall. However, I have to thank you for not ratting out my son… His rebellious nature makes him a natural enemy of the federal government, and because of that, he is bound to get himself in trouble eventually. The fact that you didn’t tell those officers what you saw, even though they were pressuring you, shows that you have more loyalty to my son than I thought…

Because of this, I will reward you. From now on, I will have a security detail watch over your house, one that will take you to and from school in an armored car. You will be perfectly safe until whoever is responsible for this atrocity is brought to justice. And mark my words, he will be brought to justice!”

Though Emily was thankful for Diana’s support, she would honestly feel safer by Alex’s side if he was there for her 24/7, and thus she was quick to bring this up.

“Thank you, Miss Johnson… But… I would feel much safer by Alex’s side, can I-”

The girl cut herself off when she saw the angry glare that the mature blonde haired beauty was giving her. And once Emily had become silent, Diana spoke to her in a rather frightening tone.

“Don’t push your luck, sweetheart….”

After saying this, Diana got up and returned to Alex’s room, where she would make sure he was comfortable until both he and Emily were discharged from the hospital.

On the other side of the world, in South Korea, Mimi overheard her father talking to her mother about something which deeply troubled her. The man had an exhausted tone in his voice as he spoke about the trouble Alex had gotten himself into.

“That boy that our daughter is dating… He is just as troublesome as I thought he was! The man just got rushed to the hospital after engaging in a shootout with an unknown party! I swear to god, I don’t now what the hell Mi-Young sees in that asshole, but I’m going to put an end to their relationship!”

However, Mimi’s mother was the voice of reason, and calmed down her husband, as she spoke about America as if it were the wild west.

“You and I both know that the United States is an incredibly dangerous place, one where there are more guns than people. Perhaps the situation isn’t as bad as you assume it is? Maybe Alex was just accosted by some criminals, and he defended himself with his own weapon? Is that really so hard to believe? I mean, it happens nearly every day in America, doesn’t it?”

Mimi did not hear the rest of the conversation, as she had run off, and began to contact her “sisters” and inform them that Alex was in the hospital, and potentially facing legal trouble. Without even checking in with the man, Hee-Young immediately charted a private jet to take her, and all the girls, to Las Vegas, where they would surprise their man with a visit at the worst possible time.
