Ton was shocked, turning to face Althon, and watched closely. “What do you mean, asshole? How did you know they were going to attack me?”Ton grabbed Althon by the shirt, glaring. “I'd have guessed that you were part of the gang. Get out of my shop right now before I kick you and your brother out or report you to the police.”Brody was still pretending to be asleep. He wondered what Althon would do about this. “I'm not a punk. I'm just someone who wants to rent that empty building for my small business.” Althon gripped Ton's hand, smiling. “I saw the punks crowding in front of your shop. I heard they'll attack you tonight when you're alone.”“Let go of my hand, asshole!” Ton pulled his hand as hard as he could, but Althon gripped his hand even tighter. “I don't trust the word of a punk like you. Those punks did mess up my shop, and they're in jail now. They can't get out of jail.”Alhthon let go of Ton's hand. “I warned you because I was worried about you, sir. As they say, kindness
“Get out of my shop right now!” shouted Ton as he wielded the iron pipe at the punks. His hands shook so much that he almost dropped the iron pipe. Sweat poured down his body. He regretted not heeding Althon's warning. The ruffians burst out laughing. “How did you get out of prison?” Ton backed up until his back to the wall. He glanced at the phone on the table. “Our boss got us out of jail. Paulcity's police chief is a close friend of our boss. The police are nothing more than uniformed, state-funded punks. You won't get protection from the police as long as you're not an influential person and pay them off,” a punk said.Another punk added, “Even if you report all of us to the police, we will be free to return and come to you again for revenge.”Ton grew more and more frightened, watching the approaching punks. He turned off the power quickly, running to the kitchen. A punk threw a bread box at his back, knocking him. Ton crawled quickly, swinging the iron pipe as hard as he cou
Ton rushed out of the hiding place, surprised to see the punks lying unconscious on the floor. “Damn it! You destroyed a lot of my kitchen tools! You also made a mess of my kitchen! I canceled the deal!”Althon laughed. “You can't cheat, old man. You must abide by our agreement. If you cheat, I'll reawaken the punks and lock you up with them.”Ton immediately pointed the knife at Brody. “If you wake up the punks, I'll hurt your crippled brother!”“Who are you calling a cripple, damn it?” Brody gripped Ton's hand firmly. “I could kick your ass even if I was in a wheelchair right now!”“You two are such assholes! You must be working with those punks for me to give you such a low rent!” Ton tried to break Brody's grip. “Let go of my hand, cripple!”Althon grabbed a glass of water, preparing to drop it on the ringleader's face. “My brother and I are not part of those punks.”“Don't do it!” shouted Ton. “If you yell, those punks will get up and beat you up again, sir. You can't cancel the
“I was a new member of a group. My boss has ordered me to build a small restaurant to prove my loyalty and skills. If I do well, he'll give me another assignment and a big reward,” Althon explained.“Who's your boss?” Brody asked. “I can't tell you because of my boss's restrictions. However, the people watching me must have sent your information to my boss.”“You bastard! Why didn't you prevent it?” Brody glared. “They won't harm you as long as you don't harm me, Brody. My boss is probably assessing you right now. If you do well, he'll offer you an important job.”Brody snorted in annoyance. “The explanation makes sense even though I'm still suspicious of you.”“You should rest now, Brody. We have an important assignment tomorrow, and I don't want you slacking off.”“Rot in hell!” Brody turned his back on Althon, watching the window. Althon closed his eyes. He was indeed quite tired after traveling to so many places and beating the crap out of so many punks. However, he couldn't wa
Tonny Romildo was surprised when Arnold, Aaron, and Andy entered his room. He hurriedly took his coat, signaling a woman to leave immediately. The woman looked disappointed, rushing out of the room. “You have a wonderful woman, Tonny,” Arnold said, ”but don't you already have a wife?” Aaron and Andy burst out laughing, sitting on the couch. Tonny bowed for a moment. “I apologize for my impoliteness, sir. I had no idea that the three of you would be visiting. I will certainly give you a warm welcome when the three of you arrive." Tonny acted as normally as possible. “What can I do for you?” “You are one of our father's confidants, Tonny. You know that our father strongly cautions his confidants to behave themselves. My father would be furious and disappointed if he knew you had another woman besides your wife.” Tonny looked down for a moment. “It was all a misunderstanding, sir. That woman and I have no relationship whatsoever. She's only my secretary.” Arnold, Aaron, and An
“We'll enter the restaurant through the back passage. Behave as normally as possible,” Althon said as he surveyed the punks.Brody snorted in annoyance. “Don't boss me around, asshole! I know what I have to do to deal with those punks.”Althon and Brody walked back, scanning the restaurant, past the punks.“What an asshole! Where's the owner of this restaurant? He hasn't shown up even though we've been waiting for him for almost half an hour,” said one of the punks. “We have to get money from the owner of this restaurant. Damn, the boss is asking us to collect the money immediately. If we don't, he'll beat us up and never help us again,” said another punk. “We can come back to this place tonight. I'm sure the owner will be at this restaurant. If we don't meet the owner, we'll break in and steal his valuables.”“Damn, we need to find our friends who disappeared. They tortured the bakery owner, looted his goods, and then disappeared until now.”The punks left disappointedly, hurrying
“Sonic has fast movements. He also has powerful punches and kicks. Compared to fighting techniques, he's feared for his extremely savage attitude when fighting. He doesn't hesitate to do anything to finish off his opponents. One of his subordinates fought me during the final match of the street fighter championship in Logancity the other day. He cheated, but I still managed to win,” Brody explained. “Sonic is a bloodthirsty fighter. If he has ties to the police, he can go free even if I report him to the police, unless I use money to get the police to arrest him.” Althon smiled. “I understand why the punks at the food stall the other day were surprised when I mentioned Red Sting.”“Mentioning Red Sting is a capital offense for Sonic. He really hates Red Sting's leader Ronny. I'm sure those punks you beat up at the food stall the other day were looking for you.” Brody surveyed the outside. “According to rumors, Ronny is just an ordinary leader, but the main leader of Red Sting is stil
Althon seemed to be seriously preparing for the opening of his restaurant. Although the sky was dark, he was already busy putting up the restaurant's signboard. Meanwhile, Brody put up banners on the windows and menu boards, printing flyers to distribute. Althon came down the stairs, took a few steps back, and surveyed the restaurant. “This is very good. All the preparations are almost perfect.”“What an asshole! Why did you wake me up this early just to put up flyers and brochures?” Brody asked as he scanned the restaurant from various directions, yawning a few times. “Damn, this empty building has really changed.” “The punks are still asleep now. They won't bother us. Besides, I wanted to surprise the pedestrians with the restaurant's changes. I'm giving them discounts in various ways. I'm sure it will attract them to visit this restaurant.”Brody snorted in annoyance. “Those punks will come to this restaurant every night when they know it's open, especially after the customers ha
