Six leveled up five more times, reaching level 35. With each surge of experience, he felt his body and mind refining even further. He allocated his skill points carefully:
-UNARMED = 69+31> 100
- SNEAK = 39+54> 93
For his five perk selections, he picked:
-Implant GRX Lv 2 = Activate Turbo at will for 10 brief bursts of slowed time
-Ninja = Multiplies Critical Chance by x1.15 with melee and unarmed weapons, and grants +25% damage with melee/unarmed sneak attack criticals.
-The Professional = Your Sneak Attack Criticals with revolvers, pistols, and submachine guns (guns and energy weapons) all inflict an additional 20% damage.
-Piercing Strike = All your unarmed and melee attacks negate 15 points of DT
-Silent Running = Running no longer factors into a successful sneak attempt.
Six flexed his fingers, feeling the raw power of UNARMED at 100. He clenched his fist, testing his grip, and in that moment, he knew that any fool dumb enough to pick a fight with him was one step away from an instant kill.

[UNARMED maxed, gained Technique: Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique]
Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique:
A martial arts move involves striking five specific pressure points on the body, causing the heart to explode after the victim takes five steps.
As Six felt the surge of power from leveling up, his mind processed the new abilities and techniques he had gained. His fists clenched instinctively, feeling the precise knowledge of the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique settle into his muscle memory. He knew that, should he ever need to, he could end a fight in an instant.
Dhatri took Violet's head and revealed a broad grin.
"Goddammit. That's Violet, all right. You've made me one happy son of a bitch, you know that? Not looking so good now are you Violet?"
He sneers before tossing the head at a soldier.
Dhatri also sends another soldier off to retrieve their reward, looking back at the group with a satisfied nod,
"Don't know how you did it, but I won't pry, all that matters is the results in the end."
He then picks up the next two heads.
"Well, well, well. Driver Nephi. Nothing to say, you son of a bitch? No tips on my golf swing? Lost a lot of good men to this psychopath. Morale's going to be better, now that he's gone."
"Yeah... that's Cook-cook. Did he always smell like this? Even before he was dead? And the Fiends let this guy touch their food? Well... this is payback for at least one of my troopers. She'll be glad to know he's dead."
Dhatri looked up at him, clearly impressed despite himself.
"You've been one hell of a stroke of good luck, you know that? Those three scumbags probably killed twenty NCR troopers. And you bring them down alone. You just made the Mojave a hell of a lot safer. NCR owes you for this."
He reached into a nearby crate the soldier he sent off to retrieve the reward and pulled out a pouch, tossing it onto the table.
"That's the bounty for all three. Should be more, honestly, but that's what the brass approved."
"However, for Motor-Runner bounty you have to go and claim it from Colonel James Hsu."
Six picked up the pouch, feeling the weight of the caps inside. Rebecca smirked, nudging him playfully.
"Not bad for a day's work."
She remarked.
Boone, still silent, kept his eyes on the surrounding NCR troopers, always the vigilant sniper. Raul scratched his chin.
"Guess that means we're taking a little detour, huh? Hope Colonel Hsu's in a generous mood."
Dhatri chuckled.
"Hsu's fair, but don't expect any extra. He plays things by the book. Still, with the kind of work you've been doing, he might actually listen to what you have to say. Might be worth a chat."
Six nodded.
"Then we'll go see him now."
Dhatri leaned forward, lowering his voice.
"Listen… with the Fiends out of the picture, McCarran's in a better spot, but it also means there's a power vacuum. NCR's gonna be watching to see who fills it. You holding Vault 3 now?"
Six met his gaze, unflinching.
"Yeah. And it's staying that way."
Dhatri nodded slowly.
"Figured. NCR might not like it, but after what you did, they'd be idiots to try and take it from you."
He sighed, rubbing his temples.
"Look, I don't speak for the whole brass, but my advice? Keep it quiet for now. Let them focus on celebrating the win over the Fiends. The longer they take to realize what you're up to, the better."
Six smirked.
"Appreciate the tip, Major."
Dhatri chuckled, shaking his head.
"Yeah, yeah. Just don't make me regret giving it to you."
