"You will make my problems disappear, how will you do that?" Luke could already guess the answer to his question, but he wanted to hear it from the person himself.

"Don't worry about it."

"Then how much do I need to pay for the job?"

"Hmm, let's see... How about every single cent you have that you took from others through extortion."

"What?!"

"You want to change your life right? Then you don't need that kind of money. So give it all to me instead. I'm already stained to the point that no matter what I do, I can never be redeemed, so I'll be taking all the sins you have accumulated as part of the payment. So will you hire me?"

'The things he's saying would've sounded cringy if someone else was saying them, but I guess it's because he's the one saying them they kinda sound a bit cool now.' Luke no longer hesitated and answered.

"I will hire you!"

"Then the deal has been made. Now onto the next step, I want you to get me a mask, some dark clothes, and some gloves? After that call that friend of yours that knows about the local gangs, and tell him to meet you here tomorrow. Also, tell me everything you know about the guys who you called to help you. Tell me every single little thing you know, tell every trivial information you heard from them."

Hearing Loki's requests, Luke nodded his head. He wasn't sure why he was believing someone he just met, but this was better than dying.

While Luke was running outside to get the things Loki asked for, Loki took out his phone and sent Alisa a text message. He told her that he had some business to attend to so he'll be coming home late. Once he sent the message, Loki sighed.

'I guess it's time to get to work.'

...

In a dimly lit room, a man was forcibly tied to a chair, this was one of the gang members Loki beat up. Both of his hands and legs were tightly bound.

'What the f*ck just happened. I was with the guys smoking while waiting for the guy that kid wanted to beat up. I went to the side to take a pee and then the next thing I remember was someone getting behind me and got me in a sleeper hold. Who attacked, was it someone from a rival gang?'

While the man started speculating, a person entered the room. The person who entered was wearing a white mask, was wearing a black jacket, black boots, and even had black gloves. Except for the white mask, everything he wore was pure black, the man in the mask looked extremely eerie. Not only that but for some reason even though the gang member was looking at the man with a mask, even though he was standing there right in front of him, it felt like he wasn't there at all. This person wearing a white mask was none other than Loki.

"So you're finally awake."

"Who the f*ck are you?! Where the f*ck am I?!"

"You're not the one who will be asking the questions here, I'm the one who's going to be doing that. So Mr. Gang Member let's play a little game. It's a very simple game, it's called tell me everything about your gang and you get to leave this place."

"Huh? Are you bat sh*t insane?! Why would I tell you anything?! Who are you, which gang do you belong to? If you- AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" The gang member suddenly screamed as something had stabbed into his fingertips.

"I told you already, you don't get to ask questions. Also, I haven't finished explaining the rules of the game so be quiet. Now, where was I?... Oh right, at this moment aside from you I captured all your companions and they're also in this building in different rooms. Each one of them will be playing the same game as you, the first one to speak will be given the chance to leave this place. As for the others that are too slow, well their fates, I will leave that to your imagination."

"The f*ck are you saying, you crazy bastard! No one would dare betray the group!? Are you some kind of wannabe vigilante?! Do you think these sh*t ass intimidation tactics are going to work on me, or any of us?!"

"I already told you the rules, I'll come back later." Loki left the room leaving the screaming gang member alone.

...

After half an hour, Loki returned to the room.

"So are you willing to talk now?" Seeing Loki ask this question made the man smirk.

"Hmph, since you're asking me such a stupid thing, that would mean no one was willing to talk. See that you crazy piece of sh*t, none of them is going to betray the group, including me."

Loki shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.

"Yeah, none of you are willing to talk, which is why I decided to add one more rule into the game. Every time I come back and you don't talk I will cut off one of your fingers." Loki then pulled out a knife and showed it to the gang member.

"What the heck you sick f*ck! How can you change the rules like that?!"

"I'm the one in charge, so I can change the rules to whatever I want them to be. So I hope the next time I come back you have something useful to say." After saying his piece Loki left the room.

...

Being left behind the gang member started sweating a lot, and he tried his hardest to keep calm. 'It's alright, he won't kill us, as long as we don't say anything. It's just a finger, I just need to endure it.'

After thinking things through the gang member was able to calm down a bit. An hour had passed, but Loki hasn't returned.

'Did something happen to him?' The gang member then started to get worried. After another half hour passed, Loki returned to the room and he had his knife out which had blood on it.

"You actually took their fingers?! Fine, it's just a finger I won't talk as well."

"Huh? Oh, sorry, you seem to be misunderstanding something here, Noel. Somebody already talked and told me everything he knew. By the way, your buddy Nestor was pretty talkative."

"Sh*t! You f*cking traitor, NESTOR!"

"The game has ended so, it's time for us to say goodbye." Loki slowly approached Noel with a knife at hand, as Loki was getting near Noel suddenly shouted.

"WAIT! I have information that even Nestor doesn't know of. If you promise to let me leave this place, I'll tell you."

"Oh, if what you're saying is true, then I sure I'll promise to let you leave this place if you tell it to me."

"Alright, it's a deal."

Noel started telling Loki every single thing he knew about the gang from its members to their boss's secret hiding spot.

"There I told you everything I know."

"Alright, a promise is a promise." Loki untied Noel, who immediately started running towards the door. The moment he got out of the room, he saw the dead bodies of his companions including Nestor. It was at that moment he heard a gunshot from behind. He felt an intense pain coming from his back. As his consciousness was fading he heard Loki's voice.

"I didn't lie, you were able to leave the room, right? Still these things called guns sure are easy to use but are too loud, not really my kind of weapon."

...

A few hours before Loki started to interrogate the gang members, he already asked Luke everything he knew about the gang members. Luke really didn't know much, all he knew were the names of the gang members. He was expecting Loki to be disappointed, but instead, Loki said.

"That's all I need."

Loki then proceeded to scare each of the gang members which he placed in separate rooms. He created a game that only allowed one winner, and then he gave them time to think before returning to add a punishment system. Once the gang members were rattled, Loki used his knowledge of their names to trick them into telling them what they knew. It was a simple trick, but all of them fell for it, due to the atmosphere of the location and Loki himself.

The blood from the knife at first was Loki's own blood. He then tricked the first gang member into telling him all that he knew afterward Loki killed the gang member using one of the weapons he confiscated from them.

Loki repeated this process to all the gang members and killed them using the different weapons of the other members. He did this to make it look like they all died due to infighting.

He understood a tiny bit about this world's police, based on some of the mystery novels he read in his room. The way they investigated in this world was different from his old world, they use things like looking at one's fingerprints and DNA to trace someone.

Which was why he made sure that nothing in here could be traced back to him. Every weapon he used was from the gang members, and he made sure that no one had witnessed him carrying their bodies. He even used gloves as he moved their bodies.

'Well even if they somehow trace something back to me, I have an alibi.' Before coming to this abandoned building, Loki rented a room in something called a manga cafe which was a kilometer away. He escaped that room without anyone seeing him, the people nor the surveillance cameras had caught sight of him leaving. So technically to everyone else, Loki had never left his room.

'Now that I have information on this gang, it's time to eliminate them... That's what I would want to say, but I used too much mana today, and my body is already aching all over, so I need to rest for a bit. I better get back to the manga cafe, leave and then head home.'

Loki yawned as he left the room where the dead bodies of the gang members lay.
