A hard kick sent the boy to the ground. By this time, the boy whom I tripped over his foot had already gotten up and was approaching me with a skateboard in his hands.
He swung a skateboard towards me. Two fists landed on it, one after another. I felt pain in my fist even when I(s) punched while in form of spirit. But when I(s) returned to my body the pain vanished and it was when I sent another punch in form of the body.
Departing and returning to my body was happening in less than a second. Moreover, to return or depart, I didn't have to walk from or to my body. Where I need to reach I would reach it immediately. When I want to return I would just agree with my mind and I would be in my body immediately.
It was like teleporting from and to my body.
For example, if I stood somewhere and wanted to sit on a chair that was 20 feet away, the moment I agreed to do it with my mind, I would instantly find myself(s) sitting on the chair.
Thus, none of the boys noticed that something was amiss.
I also found out that, not only I had gotten superpowers but also some strength.
The moment I double-punched the skateboard, it was pushed and hit the face of the boy causing injury to him.
I turned around and gave Dominic a fierce glare. He was still standing in my front.
Immediately, I charged toward him.Fear was written all over his face. At the same time, a trace of surprise appeared on the face.
He started retreating continuously leaving his skateboard on the ground. I picked it up and threw it toward him.
It crashed onto his head causing him to scream.
"Arghhh... my f*ckin' head!"The bandana around his head was removed by the impact and it fell to his shoulder. His brunette hair became slightly messy.
In the next moment, I appeared right in front of him and stomped on his feet. Then I gripped his neck.
"Arghh!"
He let out a horrible shriek."Did you say, you'll beat me and take my everything?"
I asked."No... No... I. I didn't... didn't say so."
He stammered in fear."Idiot! Do you dare to blatantly lie? I admire you for being remarkably shameless!"
After saying those words, I smirked."I was wrong, Indeed I blindly threatened you that I will take everything you're carrying. My bad, I forgive me"
He said as he gazed at me with a pleading gaze. When I heard this I shook my head in disbelief.'This man is really shameless '
"You said you need a trespassing fee, right?"
I asked again.My tone was hostile and extremely domineering as a gang leader shouting at his underlings.
"No... no... this f*ckin' laneway does not go to my father or grandfather. How can I charge you for just passing"
He mocked himself.It was so funny, he got angry anytime I mocked him just a few moments ago. But he was now accepting the insults.
"Idiot! I'll be walking along this street as I wish and don't need anyone to get in my way again. Otherwise, I would beat you badly together with that person."
I threatened in a cold voice which made him tremble."Yes!... yes! I get it"
He nodded his head violently and quickly as he wanted to throw it away."Get lost!"
I bellowed as I removed my hand from his neck.He along with his underlings ran away from me. When he was a bit far from me. He stopped, turned around, and glanced at me.
"Don't forget I work for Cyrus. Niggar, you're finished."
Cyrus was the young drug lord of a Menus crew branch of the Harworth neighborhood. No one dared to provoke him. But he was under Jarvis Menus, the leader of entire Menus crew.
The Menus crew was the most powerful criminal crew in Palas city. It was founded by the Menus brothers.
When I heard him threatening, I felt intense rage spreading within my body.
I stared at him with menacing eyes and said.
"How stupid and audacious! Are you not afraid of angering me?""Haha, Niggar that was just lucky. How can I fear you?"
He looked too arrogant and confident.'He is indeed a fool'
I thought."Congratulations for successfully incurring my wrath. Please wait for your reward."
I said mockingly with a sinister smile on my face.Immediately several punches as rain landed on his face and all over his body out of nowhere. He couldn't block them since he wasn't able to see them.
Pow!
Pow!
Bang!
Bang!
I(s) didn't stop kicking and punching him until he fell to the ground. His face was as pale as a sheet. His eyes were wide open in utter shock.
His underlings and some onlookers had bewildered expressions on their faces. They didn't understand what was going on since I was just standing in the same place but Dominic was being punched and kicked in different parts of his body. And he could be seen attempting to block attacks.
"What's wrong with you boss!"
One of his underlings asked in a deep voice.His underlings and onlookers thought he was out of his mind but why did he start behaving like that just the moment I spoke?
That was a question ringing in everyone's mind.
As soon as I(s) stopped beating him and I dashed forward as quick as a cheetah toward them, precisely, Dominic.
I leaped onto the wall, stepping on it, and threw myself toward Dominic who was painstakingly standing up. With a knee kick, I sent him flying backward.
He crashed heavily on the main road and almost got hit by an approaching vehicle.
'It seems like my body balance has improved too. I can step on the wall and my movements are incredibly agile'
It just happened that the approaching vehicle which almost hit Dominic was a police vehicle.
Most of these guys are grumpy and cruel especially when it comes to a confrontation between a white person and an African-American.
They always thought we were trouble makers and criminals.
Realizing this, I didn't hesitate, I darted along the main street.I was unwilling to spend some time at the police station. There was no way I could prevent myself from getting arrested except to escape."Stop! I'm gonna shoot your f*cking back! Stop!"I heard these words coming from behind me but I didn't even look back. I continued running until I disappeared by turning into another laneway.Only then did I realize that I had surpassed my home."So it means I have run a distance of over 300 feet in such a short period?"Most blocks were 315 feet long. Since I reached another small street, It meant I had surpassed a block where my home was situated.****After successfully avoiding the cops, I returned to my apartment. I lived with my uncle but he was at work at the moment. The time was around 1 pm.I went straight to my room and threw my rucksack onto the bed. Then I went to the washroom and took a quick shower.With a towel, I was drying my curly black hair. I walked past a mirror
Three figures pulled out. They were 2 bearded men and a slender-figured woman. But other people remained in the cars.They were all African-Americans too. The woman wore exquisite short white dress and black jacket. She looked gorgeous. Everyone could tell from her appearance that she was prestigious and wealthy.The two men both wore tight black shirt that exposed their muscular and intimidating bodies. They looked extremely domineering and imposing. The three walked over. "Indeed this place is awesome! The laneway is a bit wider and could be used as a workshop."Said the woman nonchalantly. "That's right. We can just purchase some rooms that surrounded the laneway and renovate them if we wanna increase it's size"The muscular tall man said with a great sense of joy. Then he walked toward us and said."Kids, find another place to play and never come back to this place! Do you hear me!?"All of us had displeased looks on our faces. Especially the others because the laneway had b
Lik could tell that I wasn't afraid of him at all. But why an ordinary kid behaved so arrogant, intimidating and domineering?Seeing me approaching him fearlessly, his heart began pounding rapidly. He instinctively took some steps backward. When he realized his instinct move he became furious and annoyed."You!"He snarled at me.The atmosphere became tense and cold."Now, I'm gonna show you that what I talk is not crap and I have qualifications to say so."I continued walking toward him.Sensing danger, Lik took out a small dagger and said while snorting."Punk! Don't come closer"Nonetheless, he was retreating but this time it was no longer an instinct reaction.Heather quickly rushed and stood between us blocking Lik."Everyone calm down. No need to fight useless and meaningless battles."Heather said trying to stop us from fighting. "GET LOST!"I barked through gritted teeth. I had superpowers, how could I let an ordinary person insult me? Lik had to be taught that I was someone
"What can you do to me!?"He said while thrusting his palm toward me, precisely, my shoulder. Boom!He pushed me several steps backward. He effortlessly pushed me but I slightly staggered before maintain my balance and stood steadily.His effortless push caused I to almost fell and felt pain intense amount of pain on my shoulder. He was indeed terrifyingly strong.I didn't groan or twist my face instead I bite my lower lip to hide the intense amount of pain I was feeling at the moment inorder to avoid immense embarrassment and humiliation. In onlooker's eyes Fred's palm strike was ordinary and effortless. They thought I just was too weak. Sickly weak."Haha you can not even take a palm strike and trust you to have the cheek to pose threats to me. That's ridiculous"Lik mocked while giggling barely showing some silver teeth in his mouth.Fred slowly turned his head and glanced at him with a cold gaze which made Lik to stop laughing immediately. Lik felt as a menacing beast was starin
In fact, I wasn't running because I feared him but because I was still not aware of how strong he was at the maximum. I thought it was a good idea to wait and observe before getting into a serious battle with him. **** "Pheww!" I sighed while slightly shaking my head as I sluggishly climbed up the stairs. On the first day as a superhuman I got humiliated and embarrassed. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in my mind. That was a thought that contained a useful and important observation concerning my superpowers. 'When the soundbox that Fred kicked, crashed onto me, I felt pain even though I was in form of spirit. But after returning to my body the pain vanished. The same happened when I was fighting with Dominic and his underlings. I(s) punched a skateboard and felt the pain. But the pain vanished when I(s) returned into my body.' "Pheww!"I sighed again before continuing with my thoughts. 'Does that mean ...' **** It was past six in the evening. The city was covered with darkne
My expression started to brighten. I was delighted but I didn't dare to show my excitement instead I listened to his words attentively. "However, there are a bunch of enemies who will attempt to snatch away all those opportunities from you."These words fazed me a bit despite being already aware that some people would become my enemies and would go against I. "Do you know who are these enemies?"He asked as he raised his head and glared at me. All this while he had his head lowered, almost touching his dining plate. Some seconds passed before I processed and realized that this wasn't part of his speech but rather a question needs me to respond. The reason being, I fell into deep thoughts, thinking about his words. "Oh... al... alright. Of course, I know some of these enemies."I replied with unnatural shaking voice. Even though, my reply wasn't direct as I didn't mention the names of the enemies, my uncle still knew I misunderstood him and that I was thinking of some jealousy pe
'That punk, Fred' 'So he is this strong? No wonder why he is so arrogant' "Everyone get away from this table. This is for me and my crew!"That roar pulled me from my thoughts. I instinctively raised my and glanced at him. He wasn't even looking at me. He was staring at the other people on the table. Behind him, stood two guys. The same guys that were with him yesterday at the dead end lane. According to what he said, Fred and his two friends alone wanted to occupy a table which could accommodate 8 people. How brazen! "I won't repeat myself"He added causing everyone to glance at me with expectant gazes. They wanted to see how I would handle this. After all, I was a superhuman just like Fred. I didn't say or do anything and I was not planning to do anything. I had to observe Fred's abilities before taking any action against him. After all, fighting with Fred might concern my reputation and health. Moreover, according to my uncle's advice, showing prowess was not a heroic chara
As usual, I didn't wait for a school bus.Davis stayed in another neighborhood not Haworth, therefore I often go back home alone.Immersed in thoughts, the world around me, seemed not to exist. "Ethan! The Thous!"Loud voice snapped me back to my senses.Wandering my eyes, I saw a modified truck moving along the street closely beside me.The truck's hood was filled with graffiti. Its front bumper was modified in a way that it looked like a monster truck. It was strange and attractive. Looking clearly, I realized that the truck was initially a mere pick up.The truck produced loud mechanical noise that invaded the area including my ears. I couldn't understand why I didn't notice it a moment ago. With the mixture with rap music played, the atmosphere was incredibly noisy.Since the car seemed to be originally a pick up, it had a truck bed in which a bunch of young thungs sat. In the front seats, someone had poked his head through a window.He was the one who had yelled at me. I recogni
