Chapter 18- Monster

Kai didn't reply to his threat as he simply pulled out his book and started reading, completely unbothered.

His casual att.i.tude made Edward even angrier. So, he tried to s.n.a.t.c.h teh book from Kai's hand. However, the latter moved his hand at the last second, dodging Edward easily without even looking at him.

The latter didn't stop and tried to grab it again but failed. The attempts continued for a good 5 seconds before he gave up and cursed loudly.

"Sigh" Kai sighed as he looked up at Edward. He had enough of this guy for the time being. Kai's plan wouldn't start for another two days so he can't kill him now or trouble will be following him to where he lived.

Kai's most important thing at the moment is this city since it's his hiding place where he can live his life peacefully. If the people that were after him knew that he was here, he could only bid farewell to his normal life.

Channeling his Origin, Kai's eyes flashed with a cold glint which sent his energy right toward Edward. The boy's angry face immediately turned blank before he walked away and sat down in his chair quietly.

Kai was then able to continue reading his book peacefully Or so he thought.

Suddenly, the door to the cla.s.s was kicked open violently as a huge group of people came walking inside. Their numbers exceeded 40 people. Each one of them looked extremely intimidating as they carried bats, knives, and even metal bars in their hands.

"Where is the scrawny kid?!" One of them shouted as he stepped forward.

"Oh, boss man is here! Heyo, we heard you payin' for the blood of a little student, right?!" The man approached Edward and said with a wide grin.

"Huh? What?" Edward, who woke up from his trance, looked quite shocked when he noticed the man's presence. However, he quickly shook his head and said coldly. "Yes, just go ahead and get rid of him. Beat him up till he's paralyzed, kill him, throw him in the ocean, I don't care. I just don't want to see his face again."

"Roger! Ya heard him, boys! Time to break some bones, eh!!" As the group turned around and looked at the boy Edward pointed at, they all went silent.

The whole cla.s.s turned eerily quiet as they all stared at the boy who was reading a book as if he wasn't there at all. Then

"Pfffft!!!! Hahahahhaha!!!" Everyone exploded in laughter.

Their loud giggles took over the whole place as tears rolled down their faces.

"This This is the guy you want us to get rid of? Hahahahahahaha!!! I can't!!!" The leader of the group said as he rolled down on the ground laughing.

His group also laughed as hard as they could. Although they did hear that the guy they were hired by was intimidated by the target and so he wanted them to kill him. However, they never expected the target to be a gloomy student with a book in his hand.

"Stop laughing, you morons, and just do your job before I get rid of all of you," Edward interjected with an annoyed expression. Their laughter made him feel embarra.s.sed.

"Y-Yeah, hahaha! Sorry! This is just too funny! Anyway" Taking his huge bat riddled with nails, the man approached Kai and said.

"They call me 'Harvey Dent' from the Silver Dragon gang. Do you know why, boy?" The man asked. "It's because I leave dents in the heads of every person I beat up! Look at this bat, it still has all the blood of the people I got rid of!!"

Saying that he hit the table violently, smas.h.i.+ng it to pieces. Finally, Kai stopped looking at his book and closed it calmly.

"Sigh One question: Is this your whole group?" Kai said as he stood up and dusted his clothes.

"Ya right on point, Kid! Are you happy that 40 b.a.s.t.a.r.ds came here to send you to heaven? Quite the way to leave, no?! Hahahahaha!"

"I see" Saying that Kai moved.

A split second later, 5 silhouettes flew out of the cla.s.sroom like arrows and smashed against the wall of the corridor. The hit was so strong that it cracked the wall then the 5 people went unconscious.

The group inside the cla.s.sroom looked at what happened with widened eyes. No one could believe what just happened.

They all took a look outside before their eyes s.h.i.+fted back to look at Kai. The latter was still in a punching position. Weirdly enough, his fist had steam coming out of it as if it was on fire.

"The boss is down. Time to get rid of the subordinates."

Rule one that Kai learned when he was a hitman was: Get rid of the boss before anything else. The boss was akin to the head and the followers are the limbs and body. So, if you get rid of the head, the body will become useless. Besides, getting rid of the strongest one from the start destroys the spirit of the subordinates.

And that's what exactly happened. Seeing their boss along with 4 others unconscious, after getting punched once sent a s.h.i.+ver down the spines of all the gang members.

"*GULP* A-Are my eyes betraying me?" One of them asked.

"You gotta be kidding me J-Just one punch How is that even possible?"

*CRACK*

As they murmured to each other in complete disbelief, they heard the sound of bones cracking so they turned around only to see Kai cracking his knuckles and neck.

"Come at me all at the same time so we can finish before the bell rings."

His cold words made the gang members pale. But, who were they? They were gangsters from one of the strongest gangs in the city?! How can they be scared of one person when there are 40 of them?

"We can outnumber him!! Come on, don't cower back! He's just one guy! We are all armed!" One of them said as he clenched his teeth.

Then, with resolved wills, they rushed at Kai, closing all possible escape routes and filling the whole cla.s.sroom.

Kai then took a casual fighting stance. Although he could finish everyone off with a mere look, he didn't want to rouse suspicion from Edward since he was watching the fight from up close. If he realized that Kai can use Origin, he will only get closer to unveiling his secret which could end up being a problem.

*Swish*

Punching forward, Kai's fist hit the closest gangster, sending him flying back, as he smashed against multiple other gangsters. Then, he crouched down, avoiding all the bats and knives that tried to hit him. As he was down, he made a swiping kick that sent many of the men stumbling and falling.

After that, he quickly jumped in the air and kicked someone in the face. The hit was so strong, it deformed the man's face and blasted him away, smas.h.i.+ng against the blackboard on the other side of the room.

'What the h.e.l.l?! What the h.e.l.l?! What the h.e.l.l?!' Edward, who was watching all of this, had a horrified expression on his face. He couldn't comprehend how Kai was fighting against a swarm of gangsters with ease and sending them all flying as if they were nothing.

Immediately, his survival instinct kicked in as he stood up and started sneaking out of the place. Even though his pride was destroyed, he knew that he will be next if he doesn't escape.

But, at that second, Kai picked up a knife and threw it at Edward, hitting the fall, mere inches away from his face.

"Stay there." He said coldly before he grabbed one gangster's face and smashed it against the ground, destroying his nose and frontal teeth.

As he was about to stand back up, one of the men jumped in the air and hit Kai on the head with a steel bar.

"Hah! I got you!!" The man said nervously. That hit would easily knock someone unconscious.

However, much to his shock, Kai stood there, not affected by the hit. When the man pulled the steel bar away, he realized something terrifying.

The bar was bent out of shape.

Before he could even register how that happened, he found himself upside down in the air as he hit the ground, face first.

The fight continued and in less than a minute, the whole cla.s.sroom was riddled with unconscious men. The whole place was turned into a chaotic mess. Nothing was intact.

At this point, Edward was turned into a sheet of paper. The fear he felt in his heart was unlike anything else he ever felt before.

On the other hand, Kai simply dusted his hands before he walked toward Edward. The latter started retreating back before he stumbled on a broken desk and fell down. But, he didn't stop moving till he hit the wall behind him.

"What happened here A group of hooligans barged into the cla.s.s, intending to wreak havoc in the school and you being the hero of justice beat them up and saved the whole place. This is what you will say when they ask you. Understand?" Kai asked as he stared coldly at Edward.

Kai knew that such an excuse won't make sense. But, he was intending to alter the thought process of the teachers, students, police officers, and everyone that will get involved in this mess.

It was very annoying for Kai. But, he had no other choice. He either sacrifices some of his peaceful times so that he can preserve his life here in the future or end up opening a huge dam of enemies that weren't as easy to deal with as the idiot in front of him.

"Y-Yes!! Yes, I will say that!!" Edward replied as he nodded his head quickly.

"Also, I don't need to mention that I was never here in the first place. If you say anything or do anything that might put me under suspicion" Kai grabbed the knife he threw at Edward and then squeezed it hard. When he released his hand, the blade was twisted and bent as if it was made out of clay.

"Got it?"
