Villain Retirement

Chapter 1104: Nothing Nothing Squad



[T-]

"Goodbye."

Riley waved his hand in front of the screen, and then just shrugged as he did not really know that it would actually work and close the comms. The Nothing Nothing squad tried to call again, but Riley just swiped down on the screen and completely ignored them.

"Now, who to shoot down?" Rhys then left the pilot's seat while still controlling it using his telekinesis instead. His eyes scanned the cockpit, trying to find where the buttons to fire the ship's weapon were — but alas, the ship of the people from Order of Nothing looked completely different from the ones Captain Kuhoo had.

Still, he floated around the cockpit - floating, since he was only about and a half feet tall right now and wouldn't be able to see all the terminals if he walked.

"Where is the button to fire?" Riley placed his hand on his chin as he continued to scan the terminal — and as he saw a large green button, he just squinted his eyes... before pressing it. He then quickly looked out the window shield, but the ship did not fire anything at all.

Riley did, however, feel movement somewhere.

"Where is" And before he could finish his words, the Nothing Nothing squad once again started trying to connect with his ship. And this time, Riley just answered it.

"What is it, Red Helmet?"

[What do you mean 'What is it'!?] Red Helmet furiously pointed at Riley to the point that Riley could feel her fingers almost coming out of the screen, [You just dropped the ship's cargo and we almost crashed into it!]

"Oh, so that is what that was," Riley blinked a couple of times as he looked at the green button, "They should not have placed it there. I apologize, Red Helmet - I was trying to find the button that would allow me to fire the blasts."

[That's a Nothing Ship V30. The Weapons Terminal should be on the left of the main pilot's seat.]

[What the-why are you telling him!?] Red Helmet moved away from the camera as she reprimanded one of her squadmates, [We don't even know who he is! He might be an enemy!]

[Obviously not from how he just killed everyone on that ship.]

[You don't know that!]

And while the Nothing Nothing squad was arguing, Riley floated toward the Weapons Terminal — and he could not really figure out what to do; that is, until he sat down on the chair. Because as soon as he did so, a joystick emerged from the arms of the chair and a hologram projected around him which had a 360-degree view of the space around the ship. "Interesting," Riley moved the joystick to the left, only for the hologram to pan to the side - and as he did so, he saw the ship of the Nothing Nothing squad following him.

[W-what the!? Why are you pointing it at us!?] Red Helmet quickly returned to the screen. "Oh? Your ship warns you of that, Red Helmet?" Riley tilted his head to the side as a crosshair appeared on the screen and then automatically moved on the Nothing Nothing's ship, "Will it also warn you if I fire?"

[Why would you fire!? I thought you're the Order of Nothing's enemy!?]

"I am," Riley shrugged, "I am also the enemy of all living things, Red Helmet."

[Are you crazy!? Please just put the ship into hibernation mode and just stop, please just stop or we will shoot you down!]

"You do not need to mind me and just focus on destroying the other ships, Red Helmet."

[How can we focus when you're flying around!? If we're not going to be the one to shoot you, somebody else will! You-]

"Goodbye."

"Agh!" Red Helmet almost pulled her helmet up in frustration as Riley once again cut the call.

"What... do we do, Red?" Yellow Helmet asked, "I have had the ship locked on for several beats now, should we fire?"

"Are you crazy...?" Blue Helmet, their navigator, quickly shook his head, "Didn't you just see him tank the blasts? The dude's clearly not normal."

"What do you propose we do, then!?" Red Helmet screamed.

"How about..." And finally, Green Helmet, who had been quiet the entire time and just focused on making sure that no one was tailing them from behind, spoke up, "...not screaming, for one?"

"What did you say!?" Red Helmet pointed at Green Helmet. But when she saw her not even looking at her, the only thing Red Helmet could really do was sigh, "Bring him up again."

"But he just hung up."

"I feel like he'll answer again."

"Why...?"

"Because he is fucking with us, that's why. Call him," Red Helmet then once again looked in front of her as she waited for Riley to answer the call and he did, "Wh—"

And then just cut the call before she could even say anything.

"Don't any of you laugh, I swear," Red Helmet's hand started to tremble in anger, "Shoot him down."

"Are... you sure?"

"Yes," Red Helmet, "I will handle the repercussions if he really is on our side. Shoot him down."

"Alright, firing in 3... 2... 1."

Red Helmet then turned to look at the screen where the ship was being captured... only to see the ship just move to the side so casually like some sort of mosquito, completely avoiding the

blast.

"What the―!? How is that even possible!?" Not only Red Helmet, but the others could not help but just lean back from their seats as they saw that. But before they could react to anything else, they saw the ship just suddenly turning around while still moving in the same direction, "Did... did that ship have that kind of maneuverability?"

"...No."

"Wait, he is calling us!"

"Answer it!" Red Helmet quickly said as she looked at the big screen... only to see no one

there, "What the... where is"

"Why would you shoot my ship, Red Helmet?"

"Because you didn't stop! We ordered you to stop!" Red Helmet waved her hand.

"And that was reason enough to shoot me? I suppose the Nothing Nothing squad has more authority in Everywhere than I thought you would have."

"We ordered you to-"

"Uh... Red?"

"What!?" Red Helmet turned to look at Blue Helmet, only to see him pointing at her back. Red Helmet instinctively looked back, only for her to just gasp and step away; her waist hitting the railing around her deck - how could she not, when Riley was already floating right in front of her, "What... how... how are you suddenly-"

Red Helmet did not really need an answer to that as she saw several holes in her ship that led to the outside for some reason, however, the ship was completely still and didn't even

detect the holes.

"You have a very nice ship, Red Helmet," Riley then very slowly descended from the air, landing on the floor and just started walking around, "Not as advanced as Mother's ship, but better than the ship I was on earlier - I like it. Can I have it?"

"W... What?" Red Helmet turned to look at the others to try and see if they were seeing what she was seeing — and judging from their frozen postures, they were even more shocked than

her.

"If I join the Nothing Nothing squad, can I have my own ship like this?" Riley ignored everyone's shock as he just walked around and started touching everything, "Where's the

button to fire?"

"H... here?" Yellow Helmet just once again spoke up and raised his hand, "I'm... the one responsible for shooting stuff."

"Yellow!? Why... would you even talk to him!?"

"I... I don't know, I'm nervous," Yellow Helmet just took in a small gulp as Riley started

walking toward him. He was just as tall as their knees, but he could not help but just tremble

heavily with each of his steps.

"Can you shoot that, then?" Riley then pointed at the ship he was just on.

"I... can?" "Shoot it," Riley placed his hands on his back and nodded.

"Okay...?" Yellow Helmet then faced his station before just firing at the ship again - and this

time, he was successful in taking it down.

"Hm," Riley nodded in satisfaction, "It would seem that I am the better captain, Red Helmet - they were able to shoot down the ship with just a single order of mine."

"W... what?" Red Helmet could really only force out a chuckle, "Of course, he will hit it! No

one's there anymore!"

Riley started wagging his index finger as he started walking up to Red Helmet's deck.

"W... what the...?"

And while doing so, his body started turning bigger along with the helmet Miss Pepondosovich provided for him until he was back to normal size.

Red Helmet could really only once again take a step back; but failed to do so as the rails were

blocking her. The only thing she could truly do was watch as Riley stood beside her; the two of

them barely even fitting on the captain's deck.

"Everyone, please look at me..." Riley casually placed his hands on the railings; his arm

slightly intertwining with Red Helmet,

"...I am the captain now."

**AUTHOR'S NOTES**

I am trying my luck at Royal Road with a new book, Legendary Shadow Blacksmith, it will

really really help me if you check it out and make a 5 star review T_T. Don't mention you came from Villain Retirement or Webnovel doe, that might slightly get me in trouble. It's also here in Webnovel, and I am still choosing where to actually put it. Thank you!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
