บท 34: Claw Back (IV)
I stared at the body lying at my feet in clear distaste before I finally closed my eyes and released a deep sigh… Lang Min didn't need much persuading before he finally started to sing like a canary. He was very enthusiastic about answering my questions and he was very willing to answer the questions I didn't even ask in the first place.
To be honest, he was extremely cooperative and a part of me wanted me to space him, but it was only a small part of me, or I was able to ignore that part of me at the end and snap his neck. He knew too much and I was quite familiar with men like him… If I had spared him then he would have come after me again, believing he could take me out.
I slowly turned back to my human form and ran a hand through my hair with a look of irritation on my face… "Now, what the fuck am I supposed to do?" I asked myself, wondering about my next move…
I could return to the club before Ito could bolt after learning about my survival, but what am I going to do after that? The Golden Hand was going to come after me… There was no denying that and now I needed to decide if I was going to face them head-on or wait for them to come after me. Decisions… Decisions…
I mused as I took off Lang Min's pants to cover myself. The pants were obviously oversized, but it had to do for the time being. I snorted in disdain as I started to leave the alley, without even bothering to burn the body. It would be simply a waste of time and I needed to grab Ito before the news could spread.
Additionally, Golden Hand had several cops and detectives on their payroll according to Lang Min, so they were going to shovel the blame on me either way if they came after me lawfully, but it was highly unlikely, at least, according to Lang Min, but I was not going to believe him. At least, not completely, after all, I didn't want to have a repeat of what happened with Ito.
So, even if I could have burned the body to cinders, it would have been completely useless… If they wanted me to be the prime suspect, I was going to be the prime suspect. No questions asked…. Additionally, I needed time to ramp up to make my flames strong enough to burn a body to complete cinders… Time was something I did not have.
Speaking of Ito, he was not a part of Golden Hand, but he was trying to become a part of them. So, when Lang Min offered him a place in the Golden Hand in exchange for bringing me to the right place, Ito gladly accepted the offer with both of his hands. It also turned out that there was no enmity between Lang Min and Ito in the first place.
It was simply a story he came up on the spot to get me to drop my guard and like a fucking idiot, I fell for it… I cursed inside my head as I wanted to bang my head on the wall, but spilled milk and all that… However, it was a valuable lesson for me. Regardless of the lesson, I was going to kill him.
Unfortunately, with his death, the club was going to be a total loss to me… I needed to get it fixed before I could reopen the place for business but without Ito, I had no money to make the repairs… I felt somewhat bad for making the rest of the staff lose the place, but they meant nothing to me. I knew them for just a night and I wasn't willing to give up on revenge for them.
By the time I arrived in front of the club, the sun was finally starting to peek over the horizon… I was getting weird looks from the people around me, but none of them tried to reach out to me or something like that. Right now, I looked like a homeless kid and homeless kids roaming around the streets were nothing uncommon, so while I did get weird looks from all over, nobody bothered to approach me.
I stared at the building and started to wonder how to approach this… I could burst through the front door, and gun for Ito while running down anyone trying to get in my way or I could try to sneak in… After pondering for a bit, I dismissed the second idea as I knew that I wasn't sneaky enough to sneak past a bunch of people.
Or, I could ask them nicely to hand Ito over to me… I know it was a stupid fucking idea, but I a part of me still wanted to try. I had killed so many people since last night and I didn't want to kill anyone else besides Ito, but once again, I quickly dismissed the idea after thinking for a bit. Yes, they might be completely blameless, but their livelihoods depended on Ito, so there was no way that they were going to simply stand aside and let me kill him.
It was not pleasant, but what other choice did I have?
I started to wonder what the Head Matron was going to think of me if she came to know what I was up to or how Hojo and Kurome were going to react if they saw me now. Maybe, Hojo and Kurome would confront me in the future if they manage to become a Hero and if I manage to survive that long…
Fuck! Who am I even kidding? With their Quirks, they were going to become Heroes, there was no doubt about them, unless they got kidnapped by the Meta Liberation Army, which was quite possible. So, either way, I was going to face them eventually, but the question was, would I be able to live long enough to face them somewhere down the line?
A smile appeared on my face as I started to imagine myself standing against the whole world and to be honest, the image was simply intoxicating…
