A kick could easily be seen through by even an inexperienced fighter. However, Gabe was not in a position to dodge because Zuri was right behind him. Even though she was in the car, she was still in the line of attack.Gabe was forced to step forward and cross-block the kick before Kirk could fully extend his leg. Still, the kick was powerful enough to push Gabe’s upper body back.“Haa!” Gabe put more strength into his arms and roared. He pushed Kirk’s leg back.Kirk landed on one foot and whipped the same leg at Gabe’s waist.Gabe raised his leg and blocked the kick just in time. “Not so fast, bastard!” He shifted his other foot and thrust the raised leg and viciously struck Kirk’s abdomen, forcing him to take a step back. Though it looked like a normal hit, Kirk felt a sharp pain as if he was pierced by a knife.Zuri, at the same time, purposely showed her cleavage from the window to distract Kirk. It worked only for a second, but in that short time, Gabe lunged forth and rained a f
Oscar shot the bullet without hesitation and thought he had won.Gabe not only dodged the bullet but also covered the distance in a zig-zag manner and caught the gun before Oscar could shoot a second bullet.Gabe overpowered Oscar and easily disarmed him. He went out of his way to shoot at Oscar's foot.“AH! You motherfucker!” Oscar still tried to wrestle with Gabe but was pushed down onto the couch. Oscar tried to kick, but Gabe put another bullet into the thigh, making him cringe in pain. “Krgh! You…”“Being good ain’t easy,” Gabe said, pointing the gun at Oscar’s head. “You deserve to be killed, but I’m holding myself back right now.”“What the fuck do you want from me?” Oscar’s balls trembled, but he still tried not to show any fear.“Now, you are asking the right question,” Gabe’s voice turned somewhat cold. “I came here because you called my friend Zuri over. You should forget about her.”“T-That’s all?” Oscar couldn’t believe it. This guy came all the way and risked so much jus
“W-Why are you going to such lengths…” Zuri couldn’t help but ask him. “I don’t remember treating you so friendly.” There were many times when Gabe asked her to take him along to the parties she visited, but she almost always refused to take him with her, giving him the reason that it would be better for her if she didn’t go to the party rather than taking someone like him with her. After all, Gabe back then didn’t even have a good-looking pair of clothes, and he never put perfume on his body. There was also the issue with his cross-eyes. There were just a lot of things that he lacked.“You’ve tried to get close to me after seeing my car,” Gabe said. “I got angry at you for that. I don’t want to get angry again and again and waste my energy, so I’m doing this instead.”Zuri brought her face closer. “S-So you don’t want to get into my bed then?”“W-What?” Gabe’s heart skipped a beat.“I said…” Zuri whispered in his ear this time. “Do you not want to see me in full?” She didn’t want to
Medusa and Titan were talking inside a basement as she was preparing a special drug. “How is it?” she asked after letting Titan taste a bit.“This is strange. It’s like pricking my mind for a short period of time,” Titan said. “I can’t help but feel like wanting more.”“Haha, this isn’t meant to be taken directly like this,” Medusa simpered.“What do you mean?”“We’re going to mix this in the milk that will be taken to big restaurants across the city,” she said, shocking him. “Of course, we’ll only add low quantities, but in a year or so, the people who eat all milk products from those restaurants will get addicted to the drug without even knowing.”“What will you achieve from just that? Most of them won’t necessarily be willing to buy drugs from us.”“No. This drug is highly addictive,” she assured. “Not only will we be able to get rich clients, we’ll also make those restaurants our bases!”“Mm… I’ll need more time to think about this.”“What’s there to think about? Right now, we’re
Titan and Medusa came out of the basement and began to oversee the drug trade. They used beggars to sell the cheap-quality drugs to poor or low class citizens. They used bikers to sell drugs to low and middle class citizens. Their trick was that they used people of varying ages that had no resemblance to one another. The beggars were given 10 percent commission, whereas the bikers were given 20 percent.“There’s a festival coming soon, so we’re going to sell more alcohol and drugs this weekend,” Medusa said. “I’m planning to go to Vegas this coming Monday.”“That’s not a good place for women to be, though,” Titan laughed.“Well, I’m going there for an auction.”Just then, one of their underlings entered the building and said, “Boss Medusa, there are two people who want to meet you. One of them said their name was Zuri.”“Oh… tell them to come inside,” Medusa said and then looked at Titan. “Looks like she came here knowing that you’d be here. Perhaps she's growing more and more attache
Titan went through an array of emotions in a matter of seconds. Getting defeated in arm wrestling itself was a first, and he got utterly crushed at that.Gabe let go of Titan’s hand and smiled. “I did what I said I would, so you should also do as per the bet.”“You want me to completely forget about Zuri. Is that it?” A shade of darkness took over Titan’s eyes.“Indeed. She wants freedom. So, let’s give her that.”“Freedom, huh. What if she still hangs out around the bars and parties then?” Titan asked. “You call that freedom?”“She still won’t have a superior over her head to tell her what to do and what not to do, every single day,” Gabe uttered somewhat coldly. “What she does with her life is her concern, neither yours nor mine.”Titan didn’t say anything but kept staring at Zuri as if he didn't want to let her go out of his clutches.“If I ever see you or your friends or relatives or acquaintances trying to mess with her again,” Gabe raised his forefinger and warned, “I won’t be u
“Let’s surrender, Gabe!” Zuri suggested in a high-pitched, stressed voice.“No,” Gabe’s response was short and quick.“Huh? Can’t you see all those men outside?” she yelled in fright. “Our lives come first more than anything else! I know you’re strong, but just this once, listen to what I’m saying! Otherwise, they’re going to stab us and shoot us to death!”“They might try to kill me, but I don’t think they’d kill you,” Gabe told her. “So, you shouldn’t worry.”“Huh? Are you saying I don’t have to worry if it’s only you who’s in danger?”“Yeah, because I’m not going to die tonight,” Gabe was about to open the door, but she stopped him.“Don’t! You’re just being overconfident!” Zuri screamed, hoping her strong voice would reach his brain. “No matter how strong you are, you’ll still have many weaknesses, and humans have limits. You cannot fight against knives and guns empty-handed! This isn’t the same as kicking some crates or winning an armwrestling battle, you idiot!”“I get it, so… j
“Not even flinching when the gun is kissing your skull,” Medusa smirked, “you really are a nasty motherfucker.”“You’ve been watching me and Titan fight the side,” Gabe responded. “If you wanted to shoot me, you had multiple opportunities to do so.”“So, you knew that…” Medusa’s interest and liking for him grew all the more.“What do you want?” Gabe asked. “A sorry for causing this nuisance in your street? Or some monetary compensation, perhaps?”“I don’t care about such worthless things,” she growled passionately. “What I want are two things. The first one: your name. And the second one…” she turned his head with the help of the gun by turning his chin. And she went for a kiss, shocking everyone watching, especially Zuri.“What the hell!” Gabe pushed her away. “I’m not into that shit.”“But your eyes say that you liked it though,” Medusa licked her lips. “Don’t tell me.. That was your first kiss?”Gabe didn’t say anything, but he was glad in his heart that his first kiss wasn’t Medus
