Nameless District

7| Five Million Coll

The girl in the baseball cap pointed the gun with trembling hands at Kay standing. The girl suddenly twisted her hand when Malvinn was about to slash his sword. She fired several bullets at Henry's lifeless body.

"Bastard! I've almost given up on staying there." She fired two more rounds from the gun in her hand.

The gun was so strong that it made the girl's tiny body shake slightly, and she took a step back. When she had finished firing all the bullets, the girl ducked and dropped Kay's gun.

Kay and Malvinn just stared at the girl expressionlessly. The girl started crying and covered her swollen face with her arms. She ran out of the alley.

Malvinn tried to chase after the girl, but Kay held him back and shook his head.

"We'd better get her sorted, or there's going to be a lot of trouble later on," said Malvinn.

"Tch," Kay chuckled. "You changed your mind so quickly? You stay here. Let me take care of it."

Kay walked in the direction the girl disappeared. He picked up his empty gun and holstered it around his waist. Then run after the girl in the baseball cap.

"Kay!" call Malvin. "I forgot to tell you something important. Better forget about that girl. There are more pressing matters for us."

Before leaving the alley, Kay's steps came to a halt. He turned to where Malvinn was trying to move the bodies into the empty alley.

"What is it? You don't usually talk much. It must be something significant."

Malvinn looked down as he accidentally stepped on the portrait he thought had fallen from his trouser pocket. The picture he took from Inspector Robert's document. Malvinn noticed the slightly shabby and bloody picture.

"Kay, we better hurry to Inspector Robert first before that boy gets into trouble."

"What do you think I'm running so fast for? Of course, to immediately meet Inspector Robert at the usual place. Then, what do you want to tell me beforehand? Is there something urgent?"

Malvinn looked at Kay. "Looks like this brat's business is more urgent. I'll explain later when we're done with Inspector Robert."

In front of a simple supermarket selling daily necessities, a police car was parked there. The Rogue Brothers walked over to the police car.

Inspector Robert emerged from the supermarket with a bottle of mineral water and a pack of cigarettes still sealed.

"How? Are you done partying?"

The greeting of Inspector Robert seemed satisfied to see the appearance of the Rogue Brothers. He walked towards his parked car. Michael was still inside and behind the wheel.

"We've cleared everything except him!" Kay showed Inspector Robert the portrait of the girl in the baseball cap.

The old man's face suddenly turned red. "What do you mean by excluding one person from Henry's team? Didn't I order you to kill them all without a trace?"

"Inspector Robert," Kay hissed. "Have you forgotten the promise you gave us? You have agreed to one condition from us. You let us take anything from Henry's gang."

"Bastard! I thought you guys wanted to take their property. Apparently, you want this boy? What would the other gangsters say if they found out I left one member of Henry's gang? They definitely cannot accept this injustice."

Slash!

Suddenly Malvinn drew his sword and swung it beside Inspector Robert's left shoulder.

Inspector Robert stood stiffly with an ashen face. Now he was shaking violently. He thought Malvinn would slash his body and cut him into pieces with that sword.

Inspector Robert dared not move. A pair of eyes continued to stare at Malvinn's face, filled with anger and lust to kill. In Malvinn's hand, he still held the sword. They both didn't move.

Inspector Robert glanced over the side of his left shoulder and saw Malvinn's sharp sword glint slashing the car's hood into two pieces.

Coming out of the tension, Inspector Robert screamed even more furiously.

"Lundon, what are you doing this time? You really ruined my car!" Inspector Robert's face was red and purple.

"Don't talk too much, Old Man!" shouted Malvinn with murderous eyes.

Inspector Robert fell to his knees on the pavement, shaking.

Kay's turn was approaching and crouching in front of the old man. Kay threw a fist and hit the car door on Inspector Robert's right shoulder until it sank. This time, the old man was really going to faint. He couldn't say anything.

"We do owe you a lot. That's why we accepted your job offer. But, Inspector, you have agreed to our terms," ​​said Kay.

"A-alright. You can take it and do anything to it. I think that boy's "god hand" will be of great use to you guys." Inspector Robert tried to grin, trying to smile to calm his terrified self. "It's a shame that a talented boy like him has to die."

***

"Why didn't you tell Inspector Robert that the boy was actually a girl?" asked Malvin.

"Don't you think there's something strange here? How could the police database incorrectly identify her as a boy?" Kay smirked.

Malvinn nodded, confirming Kay's words. "Shall we just leave her alone?"

"She's just a kid. As long as she's here, we can easily watch her."

The Rogue Brothers return to the apartment that doubles as their office. Malvinn was cleaning his sword and measuring the sharpness of the blade with one eye. Meanwhile, Kay was busy drying his shoulder-length red hair because he had an appointment with a woman.

The phone rings. Malvinn and Kay glanced at each other. Neither of them rushed to answer the call.

Kay relented. Grumbling, he walked over and sat on the edge of the desk. He picked up the receiver and pinched it between his shoulder and ear.

"The Rogue Brothers are here. Can I help you?"

For a few seconds, Kay said nothing and continued to listen to someone on the phone. Then, he simply hung up the phone and glared at Malvinn.

"What?" Malvinn asked quietly as Kay continued to stare at him coldly.

Kay tossed his wet towel onto the sofa, whose skin was peeling a little with age. "Tell me, Malvinn, is there something you haven't told me yet?"

Malvinn suddenly remembered the last call before they left the house to clean up Henry's gang.

"After you received a call from Inspector Robert to clean up Henry's gang, someone else called the office phone. She offered a job at a very high price. You're gone. So, I thought it wouldn't hurt to take the job."

"What price did she offer?" Kay asked, crossing his arms across his chest and his ass still leaning against the table's edge.

"Five million Coll," Malvinn replied casually.

"Fuck!" Kay smacked his fists into his thighs.

"What is it?"

"Diana, the pawnshop called me. Someone came with a big suitcase and ordered me to put it in my stash. Diana found that a little suspicious. She opened it first to check its contents. You know what she found?"

Malvinn controlled his shoulders because he didn't know what Diana had found.

"That suitcase is full of money! Diana estimated the number at no less than five million Coll! Such a large number!"

"Wow!" said Malvin. "So she actually sent the money? I thought she was just having fun when she said she would pay five million Coll." Malvin smirked. "Because I thought she was just playing around, I had her send it to the pawnshop."

"What?!" Kay shouted. "You don't learn from mistakes? No, anyone would dare pay us that much, not even the Four Pillars."

"What is going on? I thought you would be happy to receive such a large fee. Haven't you been complaining lately that we're short on money, Kay? I can do it for us if you mind."

"Malvinn, do you know what kind of work she wants us to do?"

"Unfortunately, she hasn't mentioned the job yet."

Kay rolled his eyes in disbelief at Malvinn's carelessness. That's why he didn't often let Malvinn take calls.

"But, I have agreed to it. We can't turn down the job, can we? That's enough money to cover our living expenses for the next few months?"

"What the fuck!" Kay pounded the table in annoyance. "Damn!"

Kay was a little annoyed that Malvinn had just accepted the job without discussing it with him first. He had a bad experience with something similar a few months ago. The work culminated in a war between the districts.

Ding-Dong!

They both froze and glanced at each other. The doorbell rang. Someone who might have sent them five million Coll was standing there.

"Or maybe this is all just a trap?"

Kay immediately grabbed his two guns, and Malvinn readied with his sword.
