Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife

Chapter 232 I Do Not Negotiate With Terrorists.





The emperor was stunned and he asked, "Why is Esong's wife there? She is not a law enforcement officer, she might aggravate the situation. I hope the others are keeping an eye on Esong or he might attempt to fly off carelessly." 

Esong was clenching his hand, very anxious and angry that he could not be there to stop Scarlet from heading into a dangerous and sensitive situation.

Scarlet was not afraid however because she had been briefed on the situation from inside of the mecha, the RGB officer she was travelling with, officer Seamus was quick to mention only that which was vital. So, going in, she knew that the space pirate was called Anton but he preferred to be known as the back breaker. 

This was because he enjoyed breaking the spines of his victims by bending them backwards until their bones shattered. He enjoyed listening to their pain and screams, they were like a drug to him so he never stopped killing and he would do so whenever he got the chance. He was a ruthless man that showed mercy to no one.

The statistics office of the RGB from the main headquarters had already sent in a detailed analysis and prediction the second his identity was discovered, chances were less than ten percent that he would surrender. They were higher that he would blow himself and those hostages up, and he would laugh while doing it. 

"So why ask for me then?" she asked officer Seamus. 

"Probably as a fuck you to the highest authority figure on the planet which is you. He knows that he is all over the news and everyone is watching. The RGB statisticians say he wants to humiliate you, make you beg him and prove to the world that you failed to stop him." 

Scarlet did not know space pirates and their mode of operandi well enough so doubting what people that had experience with them said was not wise. However, she had no intention of failing, if the back breaker was dying today, he would be dying alone and she would be taking his soul straight to the underworld and hopefully, he would be sent to hell. 

She came out of the mecha and immediately went to over to join captain Zorl at the negotiation table. 

Captain Zorl was trying to get Anton to talk but the space pirate remained silent, and instead he laughed as he pointed his weapon at the nurses, and saying, "Pew pew." 

"Ah, that asshole." Captain Vangar cursed. 

"Where do I begin?" Scarlet asked captain Zorl. 

"You must say only the things I tell you to say, the mecha warriors already have weapons on him so all that matters is that we get the hostages out." captain Zorl was explaining to Scarlet but she raised her hand, stopping him. 

She told him then, "That kind of man is not going to surrender, even if we give him what he demands, he will ask for more. For example, if he asks for a ship, do you think he will enter it alone? He knows that he will be shot down with stronger weapons if he enters any space ship on his own. So, he will demand to board with one or two of the hostages to ensure his safety, if not, he will release the others but demand for me to become that hostage since you won't kill me if I am on board. But he is not just a space pirate, he is also a serial killer, if I go with him, he will not simply let me go. Killing me will give him more boasting rights and enhance his reputation among criminals." 

"Then what are we supposed to do? Should we just shoot him and sacrifice those three women as collateral damage? We are being recorded on live television, the entire empire is watching." Captain Zorl looked at her with a speechless kind of disbelief because it sounded like she was telling them to give up and walk away. 

"Are you fuckers taking me as a joke, I will break one of these bitches right now if the governor does not appear." 

Scarlet pulled the microphone captain Zorl was speaking into and said, "I am here, this is Governor Scarlet Su of the blue star planet, what can I do for you Anton." 

"You already know my name, good, it means you know what I am capable of." he answered. 

"What can I do for you?" she asked him. 

"I want a spaceship and a guarantee that I will be allowed to leave your planet without being harmed. I will release these bitches after I successfully exit your shield." 

"The shield cannot be lowered in any way, there are thousands of mutated beasts which will come rushing in, more people will die." Captain Vangar was the first to air his disagreement with that plan. "As the captain of the mecha warriors I cannot allow that to be done, not even in this situation." 

"Anton, you know there are mutated beasts outside, you will die if you go out there." she replied. 

"I will take my chances, space pirates that are afraid of mutated beasts are not well suited for this line of work." he answered. "You have three minutes left until I explode along with these bitches, have you given up on them already? Will you let them die on national television?" 

"No," Scarlet said. "We are preparing a space ship for you as demanded and we will allow you to leave but you cannot take the hostages. You have my word as the governor, nobody will pursue you, we are not interested in confronting thousands of mutated beasts, you can do that on your own, it's your death wish apparently."

The mecha warriors and officers closest to her were confused, what ship?

"You stupid bitch!! shut up, I will not die." he spat out. 

"No, you will die, the beasts will tear you apart, piece by piece and feast on your flesh while you scream in agonizing pain. Some will eat your eyes, imagine being alive long enough to watch with one eye as your other eye is eaten."

"What are you doing?" captain Zorl whispered to her. 

She was wasting time, precious time babbling nonsense after nonsense. There was no space ship being prepared, and now only a minute was left, it was time to start evacuating the area. 

"Start evacuations." he signed with his hands at another officer. 

Suddenly everyone was moving backwards and the families of the hostages realized that something was wrong, even the officers in the hospital were retreating. It looked their people had been abandoned, they were going to die, negotiations had failed. 

Reporter Jelly said into the camera, "The situation has changed, it looks like evacuations are in the process and all officers have been asked to move away from the hospital. Perhaps the negotiations have failed and the families of these hostages are going to have to prepare for the worst."

Even Anton who was inside the hospital, realized that something was wrong. This governor was too relaxed and the explosive timer was running out, she had no intention of allowing him to walk away, it seemed. "You have less than one minute left, I will blow this shit up.!!"

Severus and the white cat appeared next to Scarlet, they were invisible so she was the only one here that could see them. 

"It's done." Severus told her. 

"Mr. Anton," Scarlet said slowly, in a determined voice, I do not negotiate with terrorists, so do it." 

Captain Zorl and Vangar gasped. 

"What?" Anton was surprised. 

"Do it, explode." Scarlet repeated.
