120 Torture
Faced with a greater threat, Masato and his underlings did exactly what most of the people would do in that kind of situation; put the blame on someone else to save their own neck.
“Don’t act like you all are innocent now. Three weeks ago, I saw you guys venting your anger on Masao in the school toilet because you were scolded by teacher in class.” Masato revealed.
“Oh you wanna talk about such stuffs. Then I’ll tell you sir, once he hit Masao so hard on his solar plexus that he was literally coughing blood. And do you know why he did that? He did it to test his fighting skills. Whenever he learns a new fighting move, he tests his skills on Masao.” Kitsu started to dig even deeper on Masato’s wrongdoings. “And since his parents were one of the major shareholder of the school, the school somehow covered up that whole incident and let him off the hook with only a single warning.”
‘This kids are even vicious than us.’ Thought Hanagaki while hearing their wrongdoings. ‘Are they even kids? They’re like devil with the appearance of kids.’
“Enough!!” Shouted the fat guy with slicked back black hair.
Hearing his furious roar, Masato, Kitsu and the rest, all of them shut their mouth. All the people present there were startled by his sudden roar.
“Hanagaki, we don’t have all day to listen to their yapping. So, let’s just finish our task and quickly head back.” Sounding very irritated, the fat guy mumbled.
Hanagaki nodded his head and replied, “Yeah you’re right. Let’s just do what we were told.”
Hanagaki then turned his attention towards Masato and his underlings and spoke while pointing at the huge wall infront, “All of you go stand infront of that wall.”
“But we’re not at fault sir. We’re innocent sir.” Cried Kitsu.
The rest of the guys also started to plead for their innocence. Masato on the other hand remained completely silent. He knew that he wouldn’t escape unscratched no matter what he did. He had already yielded to his fate.
“Perhaps you didn’t hear what I said.” Speaking such, Hanagaki walked towards the side of Kitsu.
“Bang!!”
Hanagaki then all of a sudden, punched Kitsu hard on his stomach.
Getting hit on his stomach, Kitsu let out a painful scream, “Argh!!”
Followed by his scream, he immediately threw up. Drool coming out of his mouth, he fell down on the ground while grabbing his stomach. Writhing in pain, he looked very miserable at that moment.
Witnessing the pathetic sight of Kitsu crying and moaning in pain, the rest of the guys present there started to panic even more.
Trembling with fear, they were having trouble moving their body. Their faces completely pale, there was a fear in their eyes.
“Did you guys not hear me?” Hanagaki yelled furiously. “I said move.”
The hodded guys who were standing behind them gave them a rough push on their back.
Getting pushed from behind, some of them stumbled and fell on the ground, roughly.
“And you too get up and stand over there.” Kicking Kitsu lightly, Hanagaki commanded Kitsu to stand infront of the wall.
However Kitsu couldn’t bring himself to move his body. And he kept on moaning in pain while grabbing his stomach.
Seeing his unwillingness to move, Hanagaki then commanded other gang members to carry him towards the wall, “Carry him to the wall. We can’t leave anyone out.”
Hearing such, two scrawny guys grabbed each of Kitsu’s arms and carried him towards the wall. The rest of the kids walked on their own.
“What are they going to do? Are they going to pound us with rocks?” Shuddered one of the guy while walking towards the wall.
And as all of them nervously lined up infront of the wall, Hanagaki spoke, “You might want to cover your face and private parts. And if anybody dares to run away, mark my words I’ll throw a stone at you and open your skull.”
Hearing such threatening words, Masato and his underlings immediately covered their face and temples with their hands. Except Kitsu who was still grabbing his stomach, all of the other guys nervously covered their faces.
“Bring the balls.” Hanagaki commanded.
Upon hearing his command one of the guy dressed in black hoddies left the place.
“Reflect on what you’ve done wrong. And if you want to take revenge on us, feel free to come and look for us. However I’ll warn you before you decide to take revenge, if any of you get’s caught at that time, just know that it’s the end for you.”
“Oh!! And before we start your punishment I’d like to add another thing, if we find any of you guys reporting this incident to anyone else, let’s say your friends, parents or police, then be prepared to face the consequences.” Sounding all serious, Hanagaki threatened the kids infront.
Just then the guy who left earlier, came back with a sack of football. 𝒃𝒆𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎
“Make sure to remember this pain and repent on your actions.” Speaking such, Hanagaki and the rest of members of Undead Crown gang started to pound Masato and his underlings with football.
And since the ball kept on rebounding back to them because of the wall infront of them, Hanagaki and the others kept on hitting Masato and his underlings with the ball, nonstop without any break for about 10 minutes.
Getting hit by the ball, over and over again from such a close distance, all of them shrunk their body into a shape of ball to prevent themselves from getting hit.
For that entire 10 minutes, they all kept on screaming in pain. And the pain kept on intensifying with each hit. Despite the gradual decrease in the power of impact, it felt like getting hit by a rock instead of a ball after some moment.
The part of their body where they were hit the most had completely turned blue and was starting to swell.
However luckily not a single one among them lost their consciousness. But still those ten minutes of pounding felt like an hour long torture to them.
Patches of blue marks from the collision with the ball appeared all over their body.
