CHAPTER 12

“How dare you???” The hefty barbarian said angrily as he got up slowly from his seat.

“Uhmp?! Please I'm sorry, it's a mistake. I don't mean to”, The young man began begging, going down on his knees gently.

The rest of the bar attendees who were partying began making way for the hefty barbarian. No one wants to get in the way of such a hefty gang leader. The last person he fought hasn't recovered from his injuries.

“Did you know what you have just done?” The hefty barbarian said angrily again to the young man who kept moving backwards in fear.

“I was only trying to go my way, sir; I didn't mean to pour away your drink”, the young man continued begging as he noticed someone behind him.

He turned back and saw two other gang members of the hefty barbarian.

“I will show you what we do to little brats like you”, the hefty barbarian said as he lifted his giant palm and landed it on the young man's face, sending him to the floor.

The other bar attendees began murmuring, some of them already ran outside the bar in fear. This hefty barbarian is such a violent person especially when he is with his two partners in crime.

The gang members and the barbarian began beating the young man. Some of the attendees started chanting for the barbarian to beat up the young man while some were begging them to stop the fight.

Tydeus and Rakeh remained on their table and continued to eat and drink as if they didn't know what was going on.

A kick to the spine of the young man from the barbarians and the crowd in the bar would shout, “yeeeeaaaahhhh!!!!”

They even left their tables and their seats to gather around the barbarians as they beat up the young man on the floor.

“We can't just sit here like we don't know what is happening”, Tydeus said to Rakeh who kept on eating his chicken and didn't bother about the fight happening behind them.

“So what are we supposed to do?” Rakeh responded to Tydeus as he picked up his cup.

“Let's go help the young man”, Tydeus said quickly and quietly.

“And who is going to pay us for that?” Rakeh asked Tydeus quickly, spreading his hands to demonstrate his question.

“Everything is not money, Rakeh”, Tydeus replied as he rested his back again on his chair, giving a side-eye to the fight happening behind them.

“Well, I don't fight for free. You know that Tydeus”, Rakeh replied to Tydeus again as he took another bite from his chicken.

The crowd in the bar kept on chattering as the gangsters continued to beat up the young man.

“You? We are going to kill you today!” The angry barbarian said to the young man who was groaning on the floor.

“They're gonna kill him”, Tydeus whispered gently to Rakeh expressing anxiety on his face.

“I don't get into another person's business if it doesn't involve money,” Rakeh replied to Tydeus.

“You know I don't like bullies”, Tydeus said again with a nervous face.

“Alright, Fine! What do you want me to do? I only know how to kill”, Rakeh answered to Tydeus as he dropped his food.

“No don't kill, just knock them out”, Tydeus replied to Rakeh, his voice almost above whispering.

“You owe me one for this, bro”, Rakeh said as he pushed his table like he was about to stand up.

The angry barbarian suddenly grabbed a jar of wine from one of the crowd around them; he was about to pour it on the young man's body to return the favour.

“You spilt wine on my body; how about I bathe you right now with a jar of wine?” The angry barbarian asked villainously as he started to turn the jar upside down to drench the young man with wine.

“Stop! That is enough!” Rakeh shouted to the gangsters from his seat.

Suddenly, the whole bar went quiet and turned their face to those who just spoke.

“How dare you tell me what to do?” The angry barbarian said as he took his attention off the young man on the floor to Rakeh who just interrupted him.

“He spilt wine on your body? Fine! You have beaten him already. Just end it there and let the young man go.” Rakeh replied to the barbarian.

“Do you know who I am?” The angry barbarian said as he kept walking gently towards Rakeh and Tydeus's table.

“Who cares? Just let the young man go.” Rakeh said, almost laughing.

The angry barbarian kept walking towards Rakeh as he cracked his knuckles. It seemed like he was about to manhandle somebody for real this time.

The rest of the crowd remained mute. Who is this guy to interrupt the powerful barbarian gangster?

“And if I don't!” The angry barbarian said as he slapped Rakeh's food tray away from the table, pouring everything to the floor.

“He didn't just do that”, Rakeh said to Tydeus, his voice almost above whispering. It seemed like he had started to boil in anger.

“Yes he did”, Tydeus replied quietly to Rakeh.

“You have just made the biggest mistake of your life!” Rakeh exclaimed out of nowhere to the barbarian,

He suddenly turned and drove a punch forcefully into the barbarian's stomach, sending him out of the bar through the window.
