A large right hook sent yet another gang member flying through the air, leaving only two gang members in fighting condition. Park, as well as the one who had called over Park’s group, both of them looked quite nervous because it was far too late to run away.
‘Just where did that guy come from, and just what gang is he working for?’ Park wondered, aware that he was somehow supposed to buy enough time for reinforcement to come. ‘Could he be the leader of some colour gang from another town who has come here to take over our territory?’
Park’s appraisal would have been a compliment for most. After all, colour gang leaders were strong fighters, but of course Gary was on a completely different level. The team leader didn’t even consider the possibility that the green haired teenager might have been holding back.
It was at that moment that the image of men and women in black and gold masks appeared in Park’s head. Their leaders were naturally the strongest fighters of their gang, with one of them even rumoured to be an Altered. As long as that teenager wasn’t one himself, he would be finished if one of their leaders had been sent over.
“I have to admit you are skillful.” Park chuckled as he looked forward to the scene of Gary being beaten up. He held his wooden sword firmly in his hand. “But I bet you’ve never had to go up against someone who can use a weapon like this.”
Park started to run toward Gary carrying the wooden sword with both hands above his head. The street that they were fighting in had cleared out by itself. The painful screams of the injured gang members had been loud enough to make the people in the area aware that there was a fight going on and nobody wished to get involved.
The only ones that were watching the fight were the shop owners, and a few customers who had refused to leave the shop, be it because of fear or sheer curiousity. All of them looked at the commotion that was happening outside.
Gary waited for the wooden sword to approach his head, before he calmly stopped it with his previously injured hand. “You have courage, but the right thing to do if an opponent is far stronger than you, is to run away!” The teenager lectured as he tensed his muscles and snapped the wooden sword there and there.
Looking directly into Gary’s eyes when this happened, Park fell on his backside, and started to scoot himself back on the ground. At that moment, the two that had originally been knocked out in the shop had come outside as well, holding parts of their body and face.
“What…is all of this, did that guy do all of this?” One of them asked. Seeing the frightened look on Park’s face, and the person standing above him, without a doubt this was all due to one person.
“Park, look behind you!” One of those from the shop shouted.
Turning his head, he could see that around five other members in black and gold clothing were running toward them, but not only that, there was one who wore a black and gold mask.
Tears almost left Park’s eyes from joy when he saw that his silent prayers had been answered.
‘One of the leader’s of the Howlers has really come.” Turning back toward Gary, there was a confident smile that returned to Park. “You are truly done now. We told you that messing with the Howlers was a bad idea and now you’ll understand!”
Park stood up on his feet quickly and started to move to those running toward them, but they soon stopped as the one in the mask lifted his hand, telling the other members to stop before him.
“Lieutenant! Thank you for answering our call.” Park said, bowing down. “We are sorry we were unable to get rid of the one causing trouble in the area. He is skillful now that you are here, I’m sure that you will be able to deal with him. Please help us!”
Park lifted his head, and could see the one in the mask, with his fist clenched walking over to him. The sadistic smile on the adult man’s face wouldn’t go away as he was looking forward to watching the green haired punk being punished for what he had done.
“Haha your life is over!” Park gloamed, but as he turned around, he could see a fist approach his face. Ironically, it wasn’t from the green haired teenager, instead it was coming from his very own leader.
The fist landed strongly, swinging Park’s face to the side and once again he fell to the floor.
“Lewader!” Park excalimed, with his mouth hurt and sore. “What did I do?!”
“You idiot!” The masked man shouted at him. “All of you are idiots! And the worst part is that none of you even have the slightest idea about who you just tried to hit right now! All of you, get on your knees and beg him for forgiveness.”
Seeing this, the masked man looked at Gary who kept standing where he was, a smile plastered on his face. Due to his smell, he knew exactly who it was behind the mask, and he was happy to watch how he treated the gang members.
‘I’m glad they sent you, Innu.’ Gary thought.
“Make sure that none of you so much as look at him without express permission in the future! Now you, explain everything that happened to me right now!” Innu continued ordering.
Naomi who had been watching everything from behind the safety of her damaged door was just as confused as the Howlers members. Nevertheless, they knew better than to argue with Innu, so without understanding the reason they crawled their way towards him, with aches and pains.
Those watching from their shops were curious at the sight they were seeing, to the point were they started to pull out their phones and were filming the event. Because never in their life would they see a gang act this way, in front of what looked like a teenager.
“I appreciate the gesture, but I’m late for a meeting with my sister.” Gary stated as he patted his friend’s shoulder. “Please make sure that this woman’s bakery will be up and running as soon as possible. As for this one? ” Gary pointed to the one that threw the knife.
“Kick him out of the gang, and do the same with the other three that were in the shop. I’ll be honest I’m not sure if that sword wielding guy really knows what is going on, but I’m sure you can run an investigation into what happened. I will leave these matters to you and we’ll catch up later, okay?”
After saying those words, Innu nodded toward Gary who was running off towards Cipen.
‘He just ordered one of the leaders of the Howlers like that…and they all listened to him, even about fixing the shop?’ Namoi scratched her head. ‘Who was that guy?’
