Steel Waste Chapter 163
Advertisement
Once the group enter the Casa Madrid Apartments they're stopped by a man wearing leather armour and a red bandana, he points a sawed-off shotgun at them and commands them to stop.
"You lot better hold up before I feed you some lead, you chose the wrong place to fuck with."
Dermot seems to be grateful that this man had intervened but Afton just raises a brow, "Who're you?"
"Who am I? I'm Marco, the guy who owns this joint. Real question is who are you, must think you're real big shots to go around causing trouble like this."
"You better put that gun down, else we might think you're one of these fucker's accomplices." Afton says with a glare.
"Accomplice?" Marco parrots, clearly lost at what this is actually about.
Afton nods, "These two are responsible for kidnapping men, women, and children. We're here to find out where they are."
Marco pales at his words, a few of the women in the apartments had also gathered and gasped. Seems they were in the dark about what these two are truly been up to.
"They were doing what? Is this true Dermot?" Marco almost snarls at him.
"N-no-ghuk" the man tries to reply but Karl jabs him in the back with his .44 revolver. "Yes."
"Then do what you want with these two bastards, just don't go damaged the apartments... If you wanna kill 'em do it outside as well, blood is a bitch to clean.
Afton shrugs and glances to Dermot, "Come on, where's your room at."
The group walk through the apartments until the reach their destination, opening the door where Dermot points to his bedside table, a ledger sitting on it innocuously.
Afton walks over and picks it up, taking one final glance at Dermot before he begins reading the book that'd decide his fate. Almost immediately, Afton knew he wasn't going to let the rat leave alive.

The receipts read like punches to the gut, it was clear they weren't going to be able to save the missing people. Afton didn't know much, but the man known as Motor Runner was like the Boogeyman to the waste, leader of the fiends and known murderer, serial rapist, arsonist, and every other crime in the book.

Apparently, Saint James was worse than Dermot as well. The man was a pedophile who tried to **** one of the kidnapped children, Dermot stopped him though as "even fiends dont want used goods.", Saint James should still have the teddy bear the young girl was carrying, he uses it in her place apparently.
Honestly, Afton was trembling in rage. He knew the Fiends were fucking disgusting, but this? It made him want to go over and annihilate all of them... In fact, he might just do that. Why let these wastes of life continue living when they're committing atrocities such as this?
Karl and Boone can clearly see how bad the ledger is just by Afton reaction, he passes it to Karl who struggles to hold a neutral expression, Boone reading it next.
Afton looks at Dermot, "Follow me." he states as they walk into Saint James room, finding a teddy bear that'd obviously been soiled from his "activities". This was the final straw in Afton's book, the two men were already dead, but now he just wanted to make them suffer. Though, he wouldn't do it here, he'd do it outside the Apartments as a favour to Marco.

Marco looks at them as they march out of the apartments, "Found what you needed?"
Afton nods, "More than enough. Come outside if you wanna see how I'm going to deal with these people."
Marco nods and follows them as they walk outside, quickly Afton acquires some rope and ties Saint James to a lampost, doing the same to Dermot to another nearby one. His actions were already attracting curious on-lookers, and their numbers were only increased when he drove Dirt-Bird to their position.
Soon enough the crowd reached a hundred people, the street chock-full with people wanting to know what was happening. Afton stands on Dirt-Bird as he wanted to make sure everyone knew what was happening. Perhaps it'd even prevent people from doing something similar in future?
"People of Westside, I would advise any of you that are squeamish, have children accompanying you, or dislike brutal levels of violence to leave before I begin. For the rest I'd like to present you with two people, say hello to Dermot and Saint James. Some of you might even know them personally!" he says gesturing towards the two. Saint James had just woken up and was already shouting curses at him.
"For those of you not in the know, these two are responsible for kidnapping innocent men, women, and children before selling them as sex-slaves to the Fiends." his words instantly causing some of the crowd to become distraught at the news. Some even recognise where Afton was going with this...
Afton continues, "So, as there is no formal law out here, I've decided to take matters into my own hands. Dermot and Saint James, for the crime of dooming four adults and eight children to a fate worse than death, I will give unto you a similar punishment!" he shouts.
Dermot's eyes go wide at this, "BUT YOU SAID YOU WOULD LET ME LIVE!"
Saint James's head whips around towards his partner, "FUCKING TRAITOR!"
Afton shakes his head, "I cannot let you live after seeing what horrific crimes you've committed... Tell me, do either of you feel any remorse for what you have done!?"

Legendary Twilight Farmer
This is a story I created for fun after reading some LN (Korean/Japanese). The first few chapters might be a familiar to some, but then again, it will evolve after that in a very different way. I'll be updating it as frequent as I can depending on my time since I have another story to write. Since English is my 6th language that I speak, don't expect perfect grammar from me. I'm still improving as I go along. [Below is the real sypnosis] ***** Once a hero, now a zero. As a soldier, Bryan Walker was both fearless and skilful. However, fate had handed him the cruellest of tests. He suffered Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD and now a paraplegic without a penny under his name. Trying to escape the fickle and harsh reality, he shut himself in. His only companion and salvation was the online game called Last Illusion XX Online. Starting from scratch, he rose from the bottom rung and became one of its Legendary Demon King. But that too did not last as the game ceased to operate. However, this time, it was not without its reward. Having a new lease of life given to him, what could Bryan Walker do next as he dived into the new world of VRMMORPG called Noble Path Online? The state of the art game was the best ever created, bridging between reality and fantasy world. A reality he once afraid of, and a fantasy that he cherished and love. Would he climb the peak of existence, conquering everything the game has to offer, like he did in LIXXO or would he finally find it too tough and to call it quits, yet again. The virtual game world had now become real.

Runicka: Tournament of Monsters (A GameLit Card Game Fantasy)
The runes are changing, and with it, the game itself changes. Taygion Ardwella finds himself stranded, alone, and on the run from some very determined guards who claim Tay's stolen from them. They're right, but that shouldn't mean Tay has to give back what he took. He's only been in Stormwall for a week and already, he's earning the ire of the most powerful and notorious House that controls the city's underground. And when their scion challenges Tay to a duel of cards, Tay will find himself thrust into a game of sorcery and strategy as he attempts to both find a way out of this mess and find his own way in the world. To do both, he'll need to learn to accept guidance and coaching where it's sorely needed, craft a deck of unimaginable power, and not die whenever his opponents try and cheat him out of a hard-earn victory. But not all is as it seems in the shadows of Stormwall, and if Tay can figure out the importance of what it is he's stolen, he may just have a chance at saving the game of Runicka. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Runicka: Tournament of Monsters is a high fantasy, card game-based adventure novel with enough magic, worldbuilding, and characters to fill a Sanderson series. I would consider it a part of the GameLit subgenre. This series in particular is not an isekai, and will start and end in a high fantasy setting complete with its own lore and backstory. It is a progression fantasy, and I am writing it inspired by all the Yu-Gi-Oh mangas/animes, and all the hours I've invested/wasted (depending on who you ask) playing TCGs like Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a work in progress. In your journey through Stormwall alongside Tay, you'll probably find typos, grammatical errors, and maybe a confusing sentence every once in a while (although I hope to keep these to a minimum). That said, comments and suggestions on where I can improve are not only encouraged but greatly appreciated. And finally, expect new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Currently on a small hiatus. I have a bit of a workplace crisis going on. I'm still writing, but I don't have time to polish and publish. Chapters will return on a regular basis soon though!!**
