Chapitre 35: Chaos is Music 2
[9:34 PM]
Jin pulled something connected to his ring on his right middle finger.
A meteor hammer suddenly fell down his sleeve and with it, he swung it sideways forming an arc but halfway he released his grip on the string and extended the swing's range.
The direction going at my head, I spread my feet apart and crouched down, the meteor hammer passing by above me and hitting the wall.
–Bang!
It let out a noise and left a crater. Suddenly the whole platform shook, probably from the bombs I planted earlier.
With a smile, Jin twisted his body, but before he could pull the meteor hammer and make a move I shot towards his head.
He tilted his head in response, but what he did make my eyes widen in surprise, the momentum of the meteor hammer didn't get shaken at all.
[9:34:32]
Instead, it continued to circle Jin and Jin while bending his back slightly used his forearm to suddenly change the meteor hammer's direction, going from diagonal to straight-up vertical downpour straight at my head.
[9:34:33]
I used my already aimed gun to shoot the meteor hammer away but it ate my bullet and its momentum didn't even falter.
So I instead stomped my feet and jumped backwards, the meteor hammer dug through the ground and left a dent on the metal platform.
[9:34:36]
Knowing that my chances are low at this distance which is 3-4 meters away from Jin himself I decided to make some distance between us.
As if reading my mind, Jin tried getting closer, whilst pulling his meteor hammer for another attack.
I aimed at his feet, so he couldn't tense up and charge toward me. Which was effective.
Although it was only effective when his meteor hammer wasn't moving.
[9:34:40]
–Bang! Bang! Bang!
I made a mistake, I took out a mag loaded pistol instead of the revolver. I need to manually reload a pistol, a revolver gets automatically reloaded even when I'm firing it.
–Click
I ran out of bullets. Jin smiled and within a second his meteor hammer was already swinging.
I kept my distance and disarmed my pistol but Jin had a different plan for me.
[9:34:45]
In a moment his feet felt like they burrowed on the platform and with a burst, he appeared 2 meters in front of me.
I felt the shock of his dash. My body shook as he appeared near me and his meteor hammer was already on the move.
I took the risk and stepped forward.
[9:34:47]
The meteor hammer missed me but it bent thanks to the string meeting my head. At that time I was already taking out my revolver and putting my hand behind me, whilst crouching so the meteor hammer would go to Jin's shoulder.
[9:34:49]
Contrary to my plans Jin's hands were already moving.
[9:34:50]
I passed out for a whole second and I'm already on the ground with some dust falling over me. It was obvious I was hit by a punch from Jin hitting the wall and fell.
–thud
I looked in front of me with a bloody nose. We're on concrete ground contrary to the metal platform earlier.
I looked up and there was a metal platform above me, about 3-4 meters above. When I finished looking, Jin blocked my view.
[9:34:55]
He lifted me by the neck, suffocated, I placed my right hand as if trying to stop him.
"Hahaha! Look what fool of a child you are, looks like nothing you do will work—"
Jin looked below as he heard a subtle noise of a metal dropping. His smiling mouth was then stuffed with a flashbang. And my face is already coated with a weak barrier.
"For my… little brother… bitch"
I took out a flashbang earlier when he appeared near me, it was a precaution I was going to make. Which was a good decision for me.
[9:35:00]
The flashbang exploded, but Jin also managed to coat the inside of his mouth with a decent barrier and made the damage to a minimum. But that explosion was point-blank.
My ears were ringing, thanks to the explosion happening at point-blank range, I didn't suffer any damage as I had a weak barrier covering my face and I also closed my eyes.
Jin felt the whole explosion of the flashbang, right now I wouldn't be surprised if he is feeling a concussion, his cheeks are even torn, showing his inner teeth.
With my fading strength, I aimed at his head, and before I could even pull the trigger an overwhelming sense of passing out came over me.
"OP's… black ops… save me"
I flopped on the ground, weak. The hit I received above the platform probably destroyed some of my organs.
[9:35:14] fight ends.
***
[9:20]
I received a message from Sir Damian, I managed to take a few hours of rest, I wonder what task he'll make me do.
I opened the message and it was his younger brother. He was making me pick up his younger brother who was kidnapped. It's only been a day and a half and he already found his brother.
I'm really scared of what Sir Damian is capable of. He… he's just 12 I believe, he's going to be 13 this December.
And yet here he is fighting a whole organization. At this point it wasn't just a gang to my eyes, it was a whole functional organization.
The moment I arrived at the location sent by Sir Damian I met with nothing, it's just a back alley of buildings.
"Is Sir Damian's coordinates right? Or.. "
I check everywhere just in case.
"over here"
I jumped slightly at the sudden voice, I looked behind me and there, a boy sitting in a corner was looking at me. He has green eyes the same as Sir Damian but their shade is completely different. Somehow it's not that similar.
I walked over and knelt.
"Do you want to walk?"
"I… I don't have any energy."
"Ah… okay then please"
I showed him my back, indicating a piggyback ride. Well, he was hesitant at first but then got on my back.
After lifting him we left the place, I went to a food vendor, preferably BBQ. It cost me 1Green point for 4 pieces of it, when I asked why it's because it's made of minotaurs intestines. That meat is from a boss monster of a C rank gate, no wonder.
I sat sir Ezekiel down on a bench after walking to a Boulevard. And there we ate the BBQ.
"What is my brother doing?"
"I don't know"
"Then… you're Miss Sophia right?"
".. Yes"
"Why do you call my brother Sir? You're older than him"
With a bit of thought, I answered the most probable answer so as not to breach my contract with Sir Damian.
"He's my boss"
"ah! No wonder"
By his reaction, it seems like this has happened before. Like Sir, Damian became a boss and had an employee before me.
But then again, there is Miss…. Madam(?) Anna who was staying in the warehouse.
[9:34 PM]
An explosion occurred, black smoke was filling the air, thankfully the whole place was equipped with top-notch technology that the fire was stopped…
Or so they thought, but the whole place was filled with flammable items that the fire continued even in the continuous barrage of fire extinguishers.
"wait… isn't that... Where brother.. Is?"
"Sir?"
"Brother went back in the building!"
"oh-"
When I'm about to run to the building of flames I was stopped by someone who grabbed my arm.
A tall man clad in black.
"Sir Damian is here."
He opened his cloak and Sir Damian was there but in bad condition.
"Sir!"
Before I could do anything he sat down on the bench with sir Ezekiel.
"fuck!"
A potion appeared on his hand with a glow and then quickly chugged it. He seems to be in a critical condition.
Panting for a few seconds. Sir Damian looked at me and the man in black.
"We need to act fast."
"What do you... "
"Bluehouse"
He looked at Ezekiel and at the BBQ he grabbed one and started eating.
"ah, Minotaur intestine. That's nice"
He seems pale but he's still moving, I don't know what to say.
"I incapacitated one of their major assets, lets move while the night is still fresh, but first"
Sir Damian pointed at sir Ezekiel.
"Get him home."
"B-brother, what are you planning to do?"
Ezekiel asked, nervous at what his brother was about to say. His eyes were shaky and his arms were trembling, thanks to the anxiety he was feeling.
"Removing the root of a problem."
"I-"
"Ezekiel, I know you're smart but you should know there is a limit to what you can do"
Sir Damian patted sir Ezekiel's head.
"And you should know that limit"
With a hand maneuver, Sir Ezekiel went limp, unconscious. Sir Damian catches sir Ezekiel's slumping body.
"He can't get unconscious with gas and the like so let's put it on the pressure points. Sophia, please bring him to a police station. You guard her."
He pointed at the man clad in black.
"understood"
I followed his order as I am a slave. But even if I am one, I thought my master would be a disgusting pig, but now I'm worried about my master. I've just known him for a day.
***
I sighed and sat on the bench, Jin would surely not wake up from that. My mask was taken off when we fought I guess when he gripped my neck?
Well, it doesn't matter. Riley just lost one of his strongest bodyguards.
Was I weak? I can't do anything against that even if I wanted to.
My potential assessment was [-B] rank, my future is obvious and so is today, just because my growth is fast doesn't mean it doesn't have a limit.
"I'm going to rest for a while."
I took out a hoodie in my storage and wore it, right now all attention is on the establishment. I still have 25 minutes to be in the Blue house.
With that, I recovered as much energy as I could. While sitting, I saw the BBQs.
"don't mind if I do.. "
I ate one and Ezekiel too. So at least I still have two for me. I'm still human. I need to eat. And this BBQ won't eat themselves so… I won't waste food.
Mom's teachings
With that thought, I wonder. How will mom look at me now?
***
[9:39 PM]
"Our what?!"
Another stockpile of Items and income were burned down thanks to the very same individual.
Riley couldn't help but clench his fists and look down with a stressed head. Not only that, the papers are missing. All the important information is missing.
Even though the event of a fire would be slim, the chances aren't zero. So the office where all the important documents are made is fireproof just in case.
The surveillance team are fireproof so before any snake bites him on the back Riley sends them to obtain the important documents, but they're all gone.
"Fuck!"
Riley is at his wit's end. Damian escaped surveillance and killed the whole surveillance team, His backbone of income is getting sabotaged, and the mayor is on his tail.
He was truly in a state of a torturous situation.
'How would I ever recover from this?!'
"Fuck!"
The years he dedicated to Viperpool are being destroyed on a single weekend, how could this get any worse?
"Where's Jin?"
He looked around and even rang the bell on the side of his desk.
"Jin?!"
He slammed his hand on the table, now his loyal dog is nowhere to be found. Riley tried to calm himself down by breathing slowly.
'Right, that's not my only source of income. There's the other race of children. They can be put to the underworld rich conglomerates'
He calmed himself with reasoning. Fixed his posture and stood up, he set aside the documents he had and walked out.
Riley has to prepare for the meeting. It's time for him to introduce products and even have himself rank highly in the seats of the underground council.
'no need to panic'
But a running subordinate with a report made his calm state of mind boil. Jin was reported to be in critical condition and the slaves were discovered by none other than the mayor.
