“The two outside? They are… asleep”
Jackson’s face beamed, “So he did bring backup after all.”
Meanwhile, Rkyer’s face was dark.
“What do you mean by that?” He said his voice chilly, and his gaze cold as if looking at a dead man.
Noah looked at Jackson with a confused look whilst pointing at Ryker, “Does he understand English?”
Jackson’s grin widened, “He does, he is just a bit… slow.”
“I see…” Noah nodded with an understanding expression.
Ryker’s expression twisted as he looked at both of them snickering.
“Do you want to die?” He said with a chilly tone, as he motioned for his goons to surround Noah.
“Me? I pretty much like living. How about you though, Do you want to die?” Noah said with a grin.
“You know Ryker? You remind me of a certain person, he used to act so mighty but he was nothing but an insignificant bug.”
“You want to be powerful so bad, don’t you?” Noah added with a smirk, as he watched Ryker’s goons surround him.
“Good, they are all within proximity now.” He thought as he looked at them surrounding him closely.
“I WANT YOU TO CUT HIS TONGUE FOR ME!” Ryker shouted, looking at Noah’s smug face.
“Don’t worry boss, I will make sure he never speaks again.” One of the goons said as he got closer to Noah.
His build was rough, he was of a tall stature, around 2 meters tall. His build was muscular, unbelievably so.
“Roid rage?” Noah muttered as he smirked at the guy in front of him.
“You little bastard, come here!” He said as he tried to grab Noah by his collar.
Noah did not move whatsoever, just watching with an amused smile.
“He is dead, Titan got hold of him,” Ryker thought, as he saw the man grab Noah’s collar.
Jackson who was about to intervene felt cold sweat.
“Why is he not moving??? Is he scared shitless!”
Hurrying to help him, he froze.
Noah’s fingers slowly closed on the Titan’s forearm, lifting it without any effort as if he was playing with a toddler.
“Don’t place your dirty hands on me like that, otherwise…” Noah said with a tone that seemed to freeze the air.
“… I will break it.” He said as the silence in the warehouse was interrupted by a sound that sent chills down their spine.
“Crunch”
“ARGHHHH!”
The titan roared in agony, as his arm broke under Noah’s grip.
“Let go, let go!!” The titan cried out.
“What are you idiots doing, Help him!” Ryker roared, as he looked at the stunned crew in front of him.
Waking up from their daze they immediately tried to fight Noah, although they were scared they couldn’t afford to get Ryker angry at them either.
“Let’s all attack him at once!” One of them said as he closed on Noah.
Noah stood motionless, waiting for them with an amused smile that sent chills down their spine.
It was almost as if he was saying.
Fuck around and Find Out
As they got closer, Noah simply used the jelly-like arm of the titan and swung him across to the person coming near him.
The two collided the sound of bones cracking echoing across the warehouse as the Titan’s unconscious body crumpled to the ground, dragging his friend with him.
Noah’s gaze shifted, sharp and cutting, to the last man standing.
The guy was trembling uncontrollably, he took a hesitant step back, his knees shaking so hard they nearly buckled.
His face was pale with fear, reflecting the pure terror flowing through his veins.
He struggled to process the scene in front of him. Noah had thrown a man that weighed 315lbs across the warehouse-like he was a toy.
“Come on,” Noah’s voice cut through the silence with amusement in his voice.
He tilted his head slightly, almost encouraging the last thug to make his move.
The man took one more look at the bodies strewn on the ground and swallowed, fear visible in his eyes.
Seeing that Noah wasn’t coming for him, he ran outside without even looking back.
Ryker watched from behind, fury twisting his face
“Useless idiot!” He thought as he looked at the last guy trembling from fear.
His anger was quickly overshadowed by the creeping realisation of his own doom, “Shit I need to protect myself, otherwise… I’m dead.”
With shaking hands, he reached towards his waist, his fingers grazing the cool metal of his concealed gun.
His heart working on overdrive, its Irregular beats filling his ears.
“I just need to end this now,” he thought, desperation flashing in his eyes.
But as his fingers closed around the gun, he noticed Noah’s gaze flicker toward him, narrowing as if he’d anticipated every move.
Ryker’s hand froze for a split second, sweat trickled down his forehead.
Noah dashed towards him, he cut the distance between them but it wasn’t enough as Ryker took aim.
Ryker’s hand clenched around the gun, his face showing a flash of courage or desperation. He raised it, pointing directly at Noah.
In his mind, he pictured the moment the bullet would pierce.
Noah’s face flashed a flicker of surprise as if he hadn’t expected the gun.
He leaned slightly to the side just as Ryker pulled the trigger.
“Pow!”
The gunshot was sharp and deafening.
Jackson’s horrified shout echoed in the warehouse, as he watched the bullet hit near Noah cleanly.
“Noah!!!”
But Noah’s gaze didn’t falter.
Instead, he sprung forward closing in the last meter between them, his hand reaching out like a grapple and wrapping around Ryker’s throat.
The gun slipped from Ryker’s grasp as terror filled his gaze.
“He’s a… monster!”
Ryker’s eyes darted frantically, his mind scrambling to comprehend how Noah was still standing, how he was able to move after being shot from point-blank range.
Noah’s grip tightened, lifting Ryker effortlessly from the ground, his fingers pressed into Ryker’s neck, cutting off his airway.
Noah’s hand was suffocating as Ryker’s face turned a ghastly shade.
Then, with a flick of his shoulder and a force that felt like tectonic plates shifting, Noah hurled Ryker downward.
The impact rattled the floor, ”
crack”,
Jackson and his brother flinched alongside their friends, watching Ryker’s eyes roll, as blood trickled from his mouth.
