Mercenary Justice Novels & Stories

But when the time came for real brutality, they would all be reduced to clinging whelps running from an apex predator when they discovered my bestial rage. No, their pathetic bluster would not do much to counter the power I had unleashed. "Mercenaries," I spit out, looking at Sienna, like a curse through gnashed fangs. The best freelance warmongers and sellswords from throughout the realms. They were raised only to inflict uncontrolled destruction upon anyone who arouses their wrath, so expect no mercy from them."

Marcus noted, his demeanor shifting instantly from victim to soldier. "Mercenaries," Jack said, examining the print. "And they aren't hiding."

Predatory. “Well,” he said softly, almost amused. “Didn’t expect you to find this room.” There was a blade in his hand — curved, sharp, dripping something dark. I stumbled back. “What— what the hell is this?” He tilted his head, smile widening. “Justice.” “ What justice? For who?” He took a step closer. “For her.” My eyes darted back to the man hanging. “Who is he?” “A traitor,” Lucian said simply. “He broke one of our laws. Sold information to hunters. And worse—” His tone darkened. “He touched what he wasn’t supposed to. He molested a child”

"Officer Lancer! I was wrong! I've learned my lesson! I have elderly parents and children to support at home. I can't lose this job! Please, have mercy. Please let me go!" I stepped back, avoiding her grasp. Looking down at her, I spoke calmly, stating the simplest truth. "When you used hospital regulations as a weapon to humiliate a desperate patient's family member, you should have known this day would come. Take responsibility for your ignorance and arrogance." Justice may be late, but it was inevitable. Today, I delivered that long-overdue justice with my own hands. With Edward and Alicia taken away, the farce finally came to an end. Members of the inspection team began sealing evidence

So, I let my tears fall freely. I would make sure justice is served for my most beloved Grandpa. The next morning, I gathered the evidence and went to court. When I sat down, Stuart gave me a conflicted look. Madison even invited her lecturers and university classmates to her hearing. She said she wanted to clear her name and prove her innocence. Upon seeing the thick stack of evidence in front of me, she mocked, "Veronica, where did you come up with all this fake evidence? I'm telling you, made-up stories don't hold up in court. The judge won't help you just because he pities you."

“The kind of creatures that ruin this world. Weak ones. Contaminated ones. What I did wasn’t murder… it was justice.” “Justice!” I said with a scoff. “Yes, Blake. It was justice.” he said, his voice sounding so cold. Opening my mouth to say something, I closed it without, swallowing hard, my heart was pounding. My teeth were clenched so tight my jaw ached. I could feel the tears gathering at the edges of my eyes, hot and unwelcome, not from sadness, but from rage. He had no remorse, not even a shred of it. And he had no pity for the people he had ended, not even for me.

“What does this have to do with what is happening now?” “It has everything to do with what is happening right now,” Merari growled. “It’s because of inhumans like you that he is on a warpath now. All you do is take what you want, and leave everyone else to pick up the broken pieces of the destruction you created to get it!” she snapped. “It was beasts like you who mercilessly hunted him and his family until they were extinct! You took innocent lives because you wanted something more than what you already had. He has been angry ever since and that is putting it lightly. Now everyone…everyone is going to pay for it!”

John shook his head, shame seemed to weigh on him. "I won't judge you for what happened while you worked for the Novak's, but I will judge you for the past and future actions. You were once a proud mercenary and merchant. Fought several battles in the war and would smuggle the supplies the army needed. The future I expect you to serve with the same principles and morals you used to."

Justice is served. But the singular beings were not convinced. Were not satisfied. Were not ready to forgive. Solitude spoke for them. "They committed unforgivable crime. Created permanent torture. Made irreversible suffering. How can that be forgiven? How can that be released? How can that be acceptable? They forced merger. They violated consent. They created hell. That is unforgivable. That is irredeemable. That is eternal crime deserving eternal punishment. We cannot forgive. Cannot release. Cannot accept. They must serve forever. Must suffer forever. Must pay forever. That is justice. That is appropriate. That is what they deserve. Forever."

“More importantly, I know quite a few people very high up in the judicial system. My client base is… extensive and exclusive to say the least. They won’t need proof to put you away. Only a suggestion from me that they had better do it, to prevent some of their own ugly doings from becoming public.” There was a terrible, blood-chilling silence. Raven felt her stomach tighten. How many people had this man killed? He’d killed Burt Johnson, right in front of her. And he’d killed… “Kade,” she breathed. “Your parents.
