James' heart sped up, seeing those mysterious eyes flash his way. And before he knew it, he was stuttering."I, I, I, I….""Mr. James…" The cold voice ahead called slowly, yet it made James' clothes feel damp with sweat.The figure unhurriedly stood, revealing himself into the light.Inky dark hair, raven eyes, and a face christened by the gods, the man was indeed good-looking. But James had no time to admire his beauty.His eyes were dark and deep like an abyss, drawing those who stared to fall into its bottomless pit.~Bam!James didn't see the kick coming."Ahhhh~... Ugh-Ugh"Son of a b**tch!His nose was all broken!James inwardly cursed from habit, controlling himself from cursing loudly. Did he dare? Of course he didn't. His fear for Mr. Hearts kept his lips sealed.And while he was rolling and holding his nose in anguish, Elric placed one hand in his pocket, taking and releasing a thick fog of smoke from his massive cigar."Mr. James… we didn't bring you here to listen to your
Gasp!Bain woke, panting heavily with vigilant eyes.The room was still a mess, with the table flipped, books scattered, tools displaced, and everywhere looking like a wind storm had flown by.Speaking of his body, he no longer felt any burning pains from before."I was right. Those pills did the trick." He murmured.His muscles had recovered, and now, he was in his best state.Thankfully, because he slept pre-battle, his body didn't feel like sleeping for long this time.Looking at how high the sun was, as well as the shadow it casted on the objects outside the small square-shaped window, Bain knew he had slept for no more than 2 hours.It should be 4:20 P.M by now.'I must leave this place before someone discovers Ryu's disappearance.'But first, he had to burn the place down.Towards the door were 2 baskets of neatly cleaned clothes now scattered and pushed aside.Bain's eyes lit up enthusiastically.Perfect!Bain quickly rummaged through the pile, setting his sights on the pair of
"Dammit! Barman! Where's my f**king beer?""Shut your damn piehole already. Beer, beer, beer. Here's your damn beer!""Hahahaha~ Old Toothless… I didn't think the operation would go that smoothly.F**k yeah! We're all rich, stinking rich!""Have, have you heard, the old called the Venomous Queen is on the loose with her gang of Butterfly bandits again.""True or false?""True! I tell you, those ladies sure pack a mean punch. Best not to anger them.""Bahahahaha~... Are you serious? Is the famous La Diva performing tonight at Fantasy house? Great! Just great! This time, I must watch her show!"…Within the massive space were all sorts of drunken bandits, goons, and thugs seated about with countless bottles scattered across their tables.Some were sleeping in a drunken state with one hand on their weapons. When you live here long enough, your weapon becomes an additional limb, always ready to take a life.The room was smoky, with countless people having cigarettes in their mouths. Some
Bain reached for the blades underneath his pillow, caution flashing through his eyes.He was about to move closer to the wall and stick his ears to listen in. But before he could get out of bed, a rain of bullets flooded the wall.Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!Bain rolled to the other side of his bed, quickly covered. From the booming sounds, it's clear the bullets were a mix of all sorts.The walls had holes of many sizes, some the size of 2 fingers joined together. The bullet flashes from the room fired were not the only things that peered through these holes."Quickly! Shoot the couch! He's behind it!!!""Hahahahahaha~... Bastard! Do you dare to steal from the snake gang? This is what you get!""Ahhhh!!---... It was a trap! He was behind the bedpost all along! Quickly, take cover!""Rooney! Rooney's down!... Mark too! Hyu Jin!...""Dammit! What the f***k are you little girls doing? You claim to be men, yet you can't even shoot the little punk down? My niece can shoot better than you!""B
Oden took a whiff of his cigarette, lightly chuckling at the trembling moron."Mr. Ignus... I've been the owner of this establishment for 175 years. I've had customers come and go and go. So you wouldn't be so foolish to think we have some special relationship, no?""But, but, but... Bah! I've spent so much money in this f**king rundown place. No matter what you say, that should count as something."~Bang!"Ahhhhhh!!!---"The gang leader couldn't believe it, but the pain was a reminder that he was really shot.His gun dropped to the floor. And when he tried to reach for it with another hand, another bullet pierced through the air."Ahhhh!~The gang leaders' cries echoed, but no one seemed to care.Oden's face was flat and expressionless."Mr. Ignus... I hate being pointed at. If you're not going to take the shot, then I suggest you keep your filthy hands away from your opponent's face."Gahhh!~Son of a b**ch!!!Oden stopped on the gang leader's bloodied right hand, awakening a nightm
"Watch where ya' going, you crazy bum!""Bloody hell! Did these bastards throw my stand of oranges to the ground? F**king assholes! Why don't you taste my bullets then?"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!The sounds of bullets thundered in the air as several people laid their frustration on the culprits that disrupted their businesses. F***! Can't a person do business and earn money in peace nowadays? Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang!~ The roadside vendor was furious. But the crazy van running zig-zag on the roads, not bothered at all. It drove for a while, finally making a blockbuster drift on the sideways. Well, it would've been 10/10 if not for the motorcycle it crutches underneath its tires. Bam! The van's back doors were opened, and several men jumped off, peering their eyes around vigilantly and others hastily transporting their passed-out victims. Hahahahahaha~ One of them smiled, smashing another on his back. "F***! We're going to be rich! I can't believe we picked up 6 white fa
"Ah!!-" The men straightened up their appearances in the face of such a dashing lady. Madam Sure smirked, seeing their flustered look. What lady doesn't like the feeling of knowing she would cause accidents with her beauty alone? She glanced at the tied-up bodies on the floor with bags over their heads, calmly scrutinizing their arms and other visible parts. 'It doesn't look like they have any deep wounds.' Tsk. It's going to cost the casino money to extract such fresh meat. But with her feminine words, she was sure to make these men drop your asking price by half. This, she was confident of. With a love-struck expression, she glanced at the one who seemed to be the leader, looking away with a rosy blushing face. So cute!~ Many inwardly screamed, watching her scramble to 'put' herself together. "Gentlemen... I was told you have some goods for use?" F*** me sideways! Was this her voice or that of an angel speaking? The men were already afloat in her web, not kno
Dance?Bain didn't think he was a great performer.But seeing the many guards pointing their weapons at them, how dare anyone oppose the idea? Augh~He smiled wryly and adjusted his Tutu while being dragged away by Leorio. He, Bain, never knew there would be a day he became a showgirl... Or in this case, a show boy. Leorio was taking this matter quite well. And just like that, Bain found himself dancing out towards the stage, with his legs kicking as high as they could. He didn't know the moves, only following everyone's lead. Leorio leaned closer, whispering into his ears. And soon, the duo nodded at each other tactfully. No one knew about their little conversation. And out in the audience, where many ruffians, thugs, mobs, and other elite organizations... Just as one would expect from the Mainland. The room was layered with smoke from the never-ending stream of cigars and cigarettes getting lit. Large lights pointed to the stage, illuminating the poor unfortunate souls who c
