2022-08-31 16:44:18Sahid, who was acting as if he was unwilling to cooperate, was making Bobby grow more concerned.
Bobby halts in his tracks and turns towards Sahid with a look of confusion and uncertainty.
“Wait, Sahid! You must stick to the code!” Bobby said while taking a step forward and positioning himself in front of Sahid.
Barrett had his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes fixed on Sahid’s every move. He was determined to ensure that they stayed on track and didn’t deviate from the agreed-upon plan.
Also, they all knew that Sahid was known to be sly as a fox. He would say something that might have another hidden meaning to it.
“Don’t get involved, Bobby. You’re already up to your neck in shit!” Sahid yelled, glaring at Bobby.
“I want to get involved!” Bobby stepped forward, furious. “I didn’t go anywhere! I gave everything to your father, and I continue to give him champions. So I am involved!!”
Sahid raised a brow at Bobby. He had a thoughtful expression on his face and didn’t appear to be replying soon.
Bobby and Barrett stood firm. They glanced at each other as if they had already agreed on what to do next.
“Then what do you propose?” Sahid questioned and then gave the brothers a curious glance.
“He needs a day before he goes back in to fix his stuff. Give him that day, and I will personally take him to Danyio,” Bobby replied seriously, then he glanced at Barrett, who gave the nod.
“And why should I trust your trash, brother? I don’t even know if he’s reliable...if he still has victory in him!” Sahid said, his tone laced with suspicion and doubt as he struggled to reconcile the idea of relying on someone he knew nothing about, especially in a high-stakes situation that required absolute trust and cooperation.
Bobby’s face hardened at Sahid’s words, and he took a deep breath before responding, “I understand your concerns, Sahid, but trust me when I say that this man is the best in the business. He’s been in the game for years, and he knows how to get the job done. We need him on our side if we’re going to succeed.”
Sahid’s expression slightly softened as he listened to Bobby’s words, but he remained skeptical.
“I guess we don’t have much of a choice then,” he grumbled, begrudgingly acknowledging the wisdom of Bobby’s words. “But if anything goes wrong, it’s on you.”
“You have someone here to prove it. Try him. If he wins, you give him a day. If not, you take him away!” Bobby replied, full of confidence.
Sahid looked to the side towards the man with a scar on his eye.
“Let me do it, Mr. Sahid. I’ve wanted to get even for many years,” the man said as he looked at Barrett for a bit.
Sahid looked at him and said in a low voice so they wouldn’t hear him.
“It’s Barrett. Are you sure you can do this?”
“Yes, of course, I can. I have four years without stopping training. Look at him. He is in the worst shape of his life. Give me the opportunity!” The man replied, firmly and determined.
Sahid nodded. He looked at Bobby with a smile and said, “It is done, then my friend Mustafa will fight your brother. If he wins, I’ll give him twenty-four hours to get in the hole. I won’t bother his shit.”
“But… if he loses, he’ll go to the hole again. I own him!” Sahid continued, grinning evilly. “Also, Bobby, your pretty wife will go back to the hole until you’ve got enough to get her out. Again.”
Mustafa took a step forward with a smile, and Bobby looked at Yumeko. She was currently kneeling on the ground, her hands above her head.
Yumeko looked at Bobby, then nodded.
Bobby gritted his teeth as he glared at Mustafa and Sahid.
“Don’t worry, and I’m not going to lose to Mustafa,” Barrett said.
Bobby looked at him. Barrett was walking toward Mustafa with a smile.
They both turned around, seeing each other.
“I’ve waited so long to wipe that damn smile off your swaggering mouth,” Mustafa said, smirking.
“What a way to waste time!” Barrett mocked.
Sahid gave the signal for the fight to start.
Mustafa advanced, attacking Barrett with a sidekick.
Barrett watched the scene in front of him, feeling like time was moving slowly. He purposely moved to the side, spread his fingers, and quickly tried to hit Mustafa’s face with a powerful punch, just like he did when they met years ago.
But just as Barrett was about to strike, Mustafa swiftly countered with a strong punch to Barrett’s stomach, leaving him in intense pain and feeling disoriented.
In a dazed state, Barrett fought to stay alert as he saw Mustafa’s kick coming toward his face.
He managed to raise his guard at the last moment, avoiding a direct hit, but the force of the attack was still so powerful that it sent him tumbling face-first into the rough and dusty ground of the yard.
Barrett noticed Bobby nearby, accompanied by his wife, who would also be impacted by the ongoing altercation.
Shaking his head to clear the dizziness, Barrett realized the gravity of the situation. He understood that he couldn’t afford to be overconfident or dismissive anymore.
As if time had returned to the past, Barrett heard the shouts and cheers of the people in the arena. He could hear the people calling him invincible.
A hundred wins in a row, without losing the undefeated man, but now all that was an illusion.
His head was on the dirt-stained dirt of the patio of his brother, looking down on him.
Mustafa couldn’t stop laughing at the ease with which that had happened years ago.
Their fight was completely different, and Barrett had swept the floor with him, but now Barrett just looked at the ground as he slowly and trembling with pain. He forced himself to get up.
“That was an unfortunate friend!” Mustafa said, seeing how Barrett tried to breathe to calm the pain.
Barrett’s head felt huge, and his world wobbled from side to side, a blow like that he hadn’t received in years, and now he understood how the absence took its toll on him.
He was still breathing hard. However, Barrett was grateful that Mustafa’s arrogance allowed him to recover.
At that moment, Barrett made the decision not to let him hit him.
Clearly, his resistance had been lost, and if Mustafa landed another one of those blows, the fight would be over.
“Come!” Barrett screamed, grinning as he looked at him with determined eyes.
Mustafa, without wasting a second, pounced on him with a sneer, his fists clenched tightly and on his face a smile from side to side.
Barrett’s gaze locked with Mustafa’s, his eyes reflecting a mixture of fear and pain. He struggled to crawl away, desperately trying to put some space between them.
Yet, the impact of Mustafa’s punch had taken a greater toll than he had expected, leaving him disoriented and feeble.
Despite his determined attempts, his legs felt heavy as if made of lead, refusing to obey his commands.
Helplessly sprawled on the ground, Barrett remained vulnerable and at the mercy of further attacks.
Dammit! He cursed, to himself, when he saw Mustafa just a few steps away.
Barrett could barely command his legs to lean forward and clearly saw Mustafa launch a flurry of punches toward his torso.
Barrett stretched out his hands and, leaning his body forward, stopped the attack struggling with Mustafa.
Barrett’s face was pressed tightly against Mustafa’s shoulder as he struggled to restrain his opponent’s arms from striking him.
Despite his desire to devise a strategy to overcome his adversary, his mind was blank, devoid of any coherent thoughts.
As he scanned Mustafa’s movements, searching for a weakness, suddenly, a sharp blow from Mustafa’s knee landed directly on Barrett’s stomach, leaving him gasping for air.
Barrett felt the urge to vomit build up in his mouth and looked in front of him. He only saw another blow from Mustafa lifting his jaw and making his whole world move.
Barrett felt no pain.
Instead, he felt the muscles in his body go numb as he tried with all his might to stay on his feet.
Barrett’s gaze locked onto Mustafa’s clenched fist, and he could do nothing but brace himself for the impending impact of the powerful punch hurtling toward his face.
The ground seemed to inch closer and closer, heightening his sense of horror.
In what felt like a fleeting moment, Barrett found himself sprawled on the ground, dazed and disoriented, questioning how the punch had landed with such devastating force.
“Is this what you are now, Barrett? The Barbaric? Please, and with this, you want them to accept you again?” Mustafa mockingly said as he looked at Barrett from above.
Mustafa turned around and walked toward his boss with a victorious grin.
“It seems that your brother is as finished as you… maybe he can work to pay off his debt, but fighting is impossible for him!” Sahid said, looking at Bobby smugly.

Barrett struggled to lift himself up from the cold, hard ground, despite an incredible surge of anguish coursing through his body. His eyes were fixed on the horizon straight in front of him, filled with purpose. He leaned down, his fingers scrabbling for a handful of the coarse, dry dirt underneath him, as he began to regain his equilibrium. Barrett raised his hand high, clutching the earth within his tight fist with grit and resolve. Then, with all his effort, he tossed it across the gap, aiming straight at Mustafa on the back. “Where are you going, fagot? I’m not done with you yet!” Barrett screamed out while maintaining a fake smile. Mustafa looked at Sahid. “Boss, if I pay his debt, can I kill him?” Mustafa remarked while maintaining eye contact with Sahid. At that very time, he was raging with fury. Sahid shook his head and said, “You don’t have to pay his debt. Death is a possibility in this business….” Mustafa’s eyes widened. They exchanged a look that said everything, a

As the sun began to rise and cast its light on the city, Barrett was sitting shotgun in the back of a black pickup truck that was driving down the highway. This was it for him. He was traveling towards the very life that he had left behind years ago. The situations that he was in these past few days were something he was not prepared for. In spite of the fact that he was thinking about the daughters he had left behind, he shifted his focus to the constructions. Barrett clung to the hope that it wouldn’t be for too long, but he was aware that the wolf’s jaws were getting closer and closer to his neck, and he understood that, at that point, anything might have happened. It was always the case, even before. The people in this dark would always relish the opportunity to bite you when you least expect it. It was like a form of entertainment for them. While he was concentrating on what was going on outside, his attention was taken by a voice that was coming from the passenger seat. Wh

The three individuals went into the primary room. Barrett recognized the significance of the large empty rectangle in the center of the room as soon as he saw it because the tables had been arranged in such a way as to create it.No matter how thoroughly they attempted to clean that location, it had an overwhelming odor of blood and perspiration.At the far end of the room, several staircases supported a makeshift throne that was occupied by a guy dressed in a green silk robe embroidered with gold flowers.“Barrett, the Barbaric, the undefeated, the invincible... The traitor!” The man with a glass of whiskey in his hand said.Barrett advanced and looked at him directly, the man was smiling, and on all his fingers, he had gold rings that gleamed against the lamp in the room.“You are a legend…” the man said, smiling.Barrett advanced. After kneeling down, he said, “Nice to see you, Danyio….”The man let out a hearty laugh before replying, “Manners… that is useless for a man of your lin

On his face, there was also blood, and from the floor, he heard Abdul’s laughter.“The Barbaric fighting with technique and short shots to reduce damage. Who are you?”Barrett got up, and his body was sore. If they saw Luke’s face, he seemed more hurt.However, Barrett felt severe pain on the side of his head while Luke seemed to move.This is bad… Barrett thought to himself. The image of his daughters came to his mind, and remembering Mustafa, he launched himself with everything he had in front of him.As he advanced, his mind repeated only one idea.My body will react, my body will react!He was sure that, as with Mustafa, his body was going to react without problems. Luke waited for him, and he could see how he moved.The inclination of his body and the way the kick would go for him.His kinesthetic vision kicked in, and he could easily predict Luke’s strike. The kick would come up from behind to land on his head, but Barrett anticipated the moment.Barrett attempted to inflict s
The Rise of The Barbaric 11: Still Uncivilized
Barrett’s alarm went off, but he was already awake and ready to go. Barrett was wide awake at five o’clock in the morning since he had been unable to get to sleep any time throughout the previous night.When he looked around, he noticed that many of the cots were already totally occupied by people who were getting ready to work.Everyone who slept there had some way, or another lost their way in life and deserved what they got.Barrett looked at them. In Abdul’s eyes, they were simply paying their debt with work.“If I were you, I would get up. After all, the food is not enough for everyone again!” One of them said, walking.Barrett nodded. Even though he wasn’t hungry, he knew that because of the way he worked, it was important for him to maintain a healthy diet.Strolling out of the warehouse where the other workers slept, he joined them in walking out to the pier where they were waiting to line up.Barrett looked at Luke, the man he had fought the previous day, with a sense of wond

“All Abdul’s workers owe him. Before, he used to kill those who didn’t pay him, but since the Danyios took over the city, the man understood that making them work was better than just killing them,” she said as she sat next to Barrett.“So all these people owe Abdul debts!” Barrett said with wide eyes. He just realized that Abdul was way greedier than before.She nodded and said, “Many are gambling debts. Others do not have to pay rent or loans, and many are simply people who give after people to pay debts.”Barrett looked around, surprised.“And what is he doing here?” Barrett asked, pointing at Luke.“Well, Luke was a ranked fighter. He was pretty high, but he lost four times in a row, causing Abdul to lose property and business, so Abdul took the cost of his business from Luke’s earnings, leaving him with nothing, and gave him the offer that he could walk away with nothing or fight and win! Luke is a competitor, so he chose the winning option, bet a lot of money on his victory, and

“What do you mean, if I had taken the phone, he was going to take my winnings from the fight?” Barrett asked as he stopped and looked at the seeing the girl.She looked at him and said, “Yes, it’s the rule. He sets the prices for his things. That’s why nobody here does anything or lends anything for free!”“What is this advice of yours going to cost me?” Barrett asked while looking at her doubtfully.She said, smiling, “Nothing. I see you don’t understand your situation. Go do what you think you should do, and when you crash face to the ground, look for me, I’ll help you, and we’ll talk business... By the way, the foreman’s right has a jump previous on the shoulder. Without that, you will not be able to get out of the way!”Barrett looked at the young woman, and she walked away.Even though he did not have a complete understanding of the circumstance in which he found himself, he did recognize that the location in which he found himself was not ideal.Because of this, he quickly avert
The Rise of The Barbaric 14: All Business
The evening arrived, and inside the dining room, they served dinner while everyone stood in line to receive it. After obtaining their meals, the vast majority of them would head to a remote area of the expansive location to eat. Barrett accepted the food, and as he moved near the wall to sit on the floor, he became aware of Mina and discovered that she was entertaining. She was occupying the floor space, and she was eating with vigor. Well, at least the floor looked clean, Barrett thought to himself. “Do you mind if I sit down?” Barrett smilingly asked after approaching her. When Mina saw him, she smiled and waved her hand in greeting. “Go ahead!” she said, muffled as her mouth was full of mashed potatoes. He sat down and examined the food that was on her plate. There was a lot of stuff on it, and the food appeared to be of high quality. “Is this really the usual food here?” Barrett asked, surprised. Earlier, he was doubtful about getting much, so he did not. Mina nodded. She

As the game progressed, the boy grew increasingly confident with his batting skills and decided to test them out in each of the first three attacks.With each swing, he felt a rush of adrenaline as the bat connected with the ball and sent it soaring through the air.However, his excitement was short-lived when Satoru, who had been watching from the sidelines, stepped onto the field and raised his sword with an intimidating presence.The boy's heart raced as he realized the danger he was in, but he didn't have time to react before Satoru's swift strike sent the bat flying out of his hands and spinning through the air.Panic set in as the boy stumbled backwards, desperately trying to catch the bat before it hit the ground and shattered into a million pieces.Satoru stood up and said, “Finish it, Yuyi!”Joseph, feeling a sense of discomfort, slowly and deliberately turned his face away from his current view and shifted his gaze towards the opposite direction, where he noticed Yuyi rapidl

Yuyi got up, hearing him coming back as well as seeing him and looking in front of him said, “Sorry, I have nothing to say! His tricks surpassed me.”Satoru nodded and, seeing Yuyi said, “Sometimes it happens. I’m not one hundred percent, but I think between the two of us, we can eliminate this clown.”The man with the smiling bat said, “Look at the state you’re in! How sad when the big ones fall. Nobody ever told me that I would have to fight with one of the parents, but hey, all the prize without any of the effort, if you want to give away money, by my voucher.”The air crackled with energy as Satoru and Yuyi faced each other. Both fighters were skilled in their own right, and the tension between them was palpable.Satoru was the first to strike, launching a flurry of punches and kicks at Yuyi.

With a fierce cry, he swung the bat, striking Joseph across the face.The man crumpled to the ground, blood gushing from his nose and mouth. Yuyi stood over him, panting for breath, his body racked with pain.But he had emerged victorious, and for that, he was willing to endure any amount of suffering.“What the hell was that?” Yuyi asked firmly.The man looked at him and said with a smile, “That, my friend, was the power of gunpowder!”As Yuyi stood over Joseph, clutching the bat in his hand, he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.His body was on fire, every movement sending fresh waves of pain through his muscles.He knew that he had won the fight, that he had emerged victorious over his opponent.
253: Formidable Fighter
As Yuyi backed away, he couldn't help but notice the man's bat attacks were not only accurate but also highly troublesome, leaving him little room to maneuver.The man appeared to be a seasoned fighter, exhibiting impressive moves that showed he was well-versed in the art of combat.Yuyi knew that if he wasn't careful, he would be overpowered by this formidable fighter and his trusty bat.As he scanned the surroundings, Yuyi searched for any opening to strike, but the man's movements were too fluid and unpredictable, making it hard to find an opportunity to attack.Despite the odds stacked against him, Yuyi remained determined to emerge victorious in this intense battle of skill and willpower.“Who are you?” Yuyi asked. The smiling man was turning the bat in his hand.With a smile, he said, “I’m Joseph!

However Barrett was not going to let that happen on his watch.With lightning-quick reflexes, he deftly swept her feet out from under her, causing her to fall forward with a loud thud.The impact of the fall was enough to momentarily stun her, and as she struggled to regain her bearings, Barrett was already moving into position, ready to take her down and neutralize the threat once and for all.As Barrett stood over the fallen woman, his breaths coming in short, sharp gasps, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease creeping over him.He knew that what he had just witnessed was brutal and gruesome, even by his standards.And yet, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of satisfaction deep within his chest, knowing that Satoru was safe, and that the woman who had threatened him was no longer a danger.As the woman opened her eyes, she was met with the cold, unyielding gaze of Satoru, who had wrapped his powerful palms around her neck and ripped apart her arteries with unflinching precisi

But Barrett wasn't about to let him off the hook.With a fierce cry, he charged towards the warrior, delivering a barrage of quick punches and kicks.The warrior tried to defend himself, but he was no match for Barrett's speed and agility. Within moments, he lay defeated on the ground, his body bruised and battered.As Barrett stood over his fallen opponents, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. He had proven himself to be the stronger fighter, and he had emerged victorious.While looked at the remaining three and said, “Listen, listen to me, don’t try to attack. The same thing will happen to you. Your joints are filling with blood from all the effort I put you through. If you attack, you will be left with broken joints, just like these men. Please don’t make me hurt you.”The woman hesitated for a moment, looking at the bleeding men on the ground and then back at Barrett.She realized tha

Barrett, with all his might, had somehow managed to break free from the confinements of his containers that had entrapped him for what seemed like an eternity.However, the sheer triumph of his escape was short-lived as he found himself cornered in the bleak, dim-lit warehouse by a group of five individuals.All with their veins flushed crimson, a tell-tale sign of the serum that they had all ingested, which had turned them into something beyond human comprehension.Trapped like a cornered animal, Barrett's chest heaved up and down as he tried to catch his breath, the adrenaline pumping through his veins as he tried to figure out a way out of this perilous situation.Barrett's heart sank as he realized that the men and women in front of him were not just any ordinary people.They were unnaturally strong, their muscles bulging with power, and their bodies able to maintain muscle tension for an unnaturally long time.Barrett could sense the palpable danger emanating from them, a primal
