2022-08-31 19:00:21As 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.
When Barrett looked up, he noticed a woman who was intently studying her mobile phone.
“Did you leave something important behind?” she inquired with a hint of curiosity in her voice. Despite the sunglasses that she was wearing, Barrett knew that her eyes were focused on him via the rearview mirror of the car.
Barrett didn’t want to reply to her at first, but it was not like it was a big deal.
“Yes, that’s right,” he replied while looking at her coldly. He smiled sarcastically and added, “The most important thing in my life. The reason I left all of this in the first place.”
He was not familiar with this woman, but he knew that if she really looked, she would know Barrett’s background.
Before replying, the woman put down her phone and removed the sunglasses that had been dangling from her nose while they were in her face.
“So your life has a poetic meaning... an ironic symmetry that takes you back to where you started for the same reason you decided to start,” she said curiously, as if Barrett’s life was interesting enough for her.
“You…” Barrett frowned. He didn’t like her tone. He sighed and said, “Beating each other to death is not poetic at all….”
“Barrett…” she said his name in a sultry way as if thinking of something while doing so. “The stories I have heard about you don’t match how you look now.”
“That’s none of your business,” Barrett replied coldly.
“That’s true,” she chuckled and nodded. With her eyes squinted, she added, “If you really changed, then that’s boring. If you keep thinking like that, you won’t survive. Just saying.” He paid her no attention. After all, what was it that she could possibly know?
Barrett was The Barbaric, the man who had won a hundred times in a row, an incontestable victor. At that point, he was too big for the place.
He would have long since outgrown it at this point.
Even though he was having these positive thoughts, the fact that Mustafa was so close to winning over him continued to disturb him despite the fact that he was thinking good thoughts.
Even just considering the idea that more time had passed was a source of frustration for me.
Just then, the harbor that was not far from them caught his attention.
No, they were going in that direction!
“Are we going to that ship?” Barrett questioned with his jaws squeezed tightly together. He simply could not believe what was going on around him.
It was almost as though someone had cheated on him!
He should have known!
“Mr. Abdul asked to see you. Sahid’s test is invalid for him. He will probably make you fight again,” the smiling girl said casually. “and again.”
Barrett gritted his teeth. What she said was not surprising to him. However, he was not in good condition as he was still feeling the effects of Mustafa’s strikes.
He had no idea what would happen during that fight, but he knew he couldn’t let it happen again, and he couldn’t let it happen again.
He had no reason to be taken aback by the event. Both the father and the son are both filth.
Barrett took a deep breath, looked ahead, and asked, “Do you know who is number one in the ranking now?”
He needed to know, as being clueless was like putting one of his legs to a grave.
The joyful woman smiled brightly once again after fiddling with her phone for a few minutes. She reached for it and played with it. After that, she handed it off to Barrett.
“Oy!” The driver said, frowning. He then looked at the woman warningly.
“What do you think he would do? Calling the police?” she said with a raised brow. “He comes here because he needs money. He won’t do anything stupid.”
Barrett turned his attention to the phone. The person who came in the first place was an unknown face to him.
He had no idea who it was. He was called The Dark King.
“Hey, this dark king is number one in the current ranking,” Barrett remarked. “Tell me more about him.”
“He is one of the four kings! My dear Barrett, things have changed since you left. Now the four Danyos are more influential in the city, each one is the owner and lord of a sector of the city, and the authorities cannot do anything about it, and each one has their own ranking. The fights between Danyos are now different. They are for territories and businesses. And the members of the ranking are in charge of winning or losing those territories,” she said patiently.
Barrett had the thought that she was making lighthearted fun of him behind his back due to the fact that she was so patient.
Barrett gave off the impression that he was confused as he looked at the woman first and then at the phone.
“Your dear friend, the one who first freed you, is still one of the Danyios, although that is clearly none of your business after all. You do not belong to his team, and you belong to Mr. Abdul,” she explained.
Barrett looked at the phone once more. The Dark King.
That is all there is to say about it. His photo showed a black man with his hair twisted back into a tail, and there was no other name posted for him elsewhere. He had a forceful look in his eyes.
“What nonsense!” Barrett said, returning the phone.
The driver glanced at him with a puzzled expression while the woman simply shrugged her shoulders, not minding Barrett’s attitude at all.
He was aware that he was no longer in the city that he called home. Now he was in the terminal, which was allegedly a city of sin that was ruled by the Danyos.
They arrived at the port, and Barrett and the woman got out of the van together. She hurriedly walked towards the terminal.
When it was Barrett’s turn to walk through the terminal first, he proceeded to follow her until he arrived at a ramp that led up to a big cruise liner, at which point the workers’ attention shifted to him.
The ship’s name was The God of the Sea.
When Barrett looked up, he saw Sahid standing there in anticipation of the female.
As soon as they reached the top, Sahid made a beeline for her and planted a passionate kiss on her lips.
“You liked the trip?” Sahid asked after his public display of affection. He was now looking at Barrett with a proud grin. “I sent a hottie to pick you up. I wanted to see if you were real, you had everything to escape, and you didn’t. You clearly want to be here.”
Barrett did his best to stifle the irritation that he was feeling.
“I already told you,” he looked at Sahid and said firmly. “I clearly want to be here….”
And just as Barrett finished his words, Sahid smacked him on the back of the head. Barrett’s eyes widened, and then he stared at Sahid with his true rage visible on his face.
“It’s not like before. That you were the champion, now you are nobody. Let’s learn some useless respect!” Sahid said, smirking. His gaze was taunting Barrett, trying to test his patience.
Before Barrett could reply, Sahid and the woman already walked towards the ship.
Barrett didn’t have a choice but to follow the young woman. As he did, Barrett kept on glaring in Sahid’s direction.
He saw Sahid get off the boat. His hands were clenched, and looking forward, and he saw the woman’s eyes. They looked at Sahid with the same anger.
“You are bringing trouble to yourself,” the woman muttered when she saw the way Barrett was gazing at Sahid.
“Hate is free,” Barrett remarked while flashing an evil grin.
“Perks of being trash,” the woman nodded and laughed mockingly.

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
The Rise of The Barbaric 12: Better Route
“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
The Rise of The Barbaric 15: Useless Advice
Barrett looked at her, and her eyes were attentive to the screen. He was surprised to see how she deeply enjoyed the fight and saw the screen again.Barrett said, “I think you can’t know that without fighting, Del Rio’s muscles are more defined, and the force he can generate exceeds Grand’s."The girl looked at him with a smile and said, “Let’s make a deal. If Grand wins this fight, you will do me a favor, whatever I want. But if Del Rio wins it, then I’ll do you a favor, whichever you want!”Barrett took a deep breath and said, “Fine as you like, but don’t think I won’t charge you for the favor!”She looked at him and nodded. She continued eating with her hands like a little girl, the fight continued, and Del Rio harassed Grand with quick and circular movements.Del Rio’s Capoeira was tremendous, and Grand had no opening. However, Barrett, seeing what was happening, began to notice how Del Rio’s speed decreased.The fighter with the braids put his hands on the ground again, raised bo
The Rise of The Barbaric 16: Little Match
She took a deep breath and said, “I’ll show you! Do you want to have a little match?”Luke stood up and immediately removed his shirt when he did so.Seeing Barrett, he nodded and entering the rectangle, the girl said, “Okay, we will do two rounds. The first one will be for a punch, whoever hits first wins. The second will be for a takedown, whoever takes down first wins, is that clear?”Barrett nodded. Luke moved closer after gaining a direct view of him. Barrett saw his kick go up without any ceremony, and he quickly dove to the ground.He was successful in landing a strike to Barrett's stomach, and then he quickly retreated while smirking.His gaze turned to see Mina, who was looking at him shaking her head.Barrett eyes widened in confusion. His eyes saw another huge kick going straight for his head.Barrett couldn’t dodge it in time, and when he received it, his mind went blank, and his eyes closed. He felt a bucket of water fall on his face and got up.He looked at Luke, who w

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

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.

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
