Chapter 63: The Director.

Chen stood there and scrunched up his face. Tears began to fall from his face and he began to weep. The woman came closer and then began to yell even more. "You stupid. Kid where are your parents! I will have them both killed! My uncle is in the mafia you know!" She went on and on bringing up connections and listing names that a child wouldn't have even heard of.

"My husband is friends with Mr Hao. He runs this place. Don't think you can get away with hurting my son now. Chen suddenly stopped crying when he heard that name and then looked up at Haru. Haru also narrowed in when she mentioned his uncle's name.

"Oh, You know Mr Hao?" Haru asked acting like he was surprised. "Yeah, He is one of the meanest people around. If you are with this kid you better be prepared to swim with the fishes like his parents will," She said to Haru. He almost laughed as he heard what she had just said.

Zen was mean? He was only famous because he ran most of the economy in Shenzhen. He did start a bodyguard business that escalated into contract killers but that was about it. And not many people even knew anything about that company apart from people who worked in organised crime. So he knew she was just talking nonsense.

Haru looked back down at Chen and smiled. He put his hand on his head and then spoke. "Never heard of him? Who is this Mr Hao?" Chen looked up confused but was too upset to say anything. He knew that Mr Hao was, in fact, Haru's uncle.

"What? How have you never heard of Mr Hao? I guess kids don't need to worry about adult stuff yet so that is probably why. But let me tell you now. Mr Hao is the true boss of this city. Even the police are scared of him. He kills everyone who disobeys him. And he and my husband are very good friends. You are lucky that my husband isn't here yet. He would come back with his gang and punish you for not knowing the great Mr Hao." Haru could barely hold it together.

The police were scared of Zen? That was the biggest joke he had ever heard. The police literally told Haru he couldn't hide anywhere because they knew where his uncle lived. How could they threaten the nephew of someone who is supposed to scare them? It didn't make any sense. Were they thinking about the same guy are was it just a coincidence?

"Is that right? Then how about you call this Mr Hao. I would like to talk with him." Haru said with a smile., The woman shut he mouth fro a moment. She looked surprised. "Didn't you just hear what I said? Mr Hao is busy. If I disturbed him now he might even kill you out of anger." She said again almost stuttering over each word.

She knew it was a lie just as much as Haru did. It put Chen at ease when he picked up on the Lie too. He smiled slightly. He knew he wasn't going to get into trouble. "What are you smiling for kid? Did you think I would let you off? My husband is on his way. Just wait until he gets here. You will regret what you did."She began to shout at Chen again.

"Shut up," Haru said he was getting fed up with hearing her voice over and over again. "What? How dare you!" She shouted at Haru. "I said shut up! What don't you understand about it? Your voice is annoying me. Not to mention you are threatening a child. You absolute human trash."

Haru used his Qi to put pressure on her body. She began to shake as all the muscles in her body locked up. "Just you wait..." She got out through gritted teeth. The kid lying on the phone made a noise and then slowly stood up. "Mommy!" He ran over and hugged the woman Haru was holding down with his Qi. He felt bad seeing the kid hug her so he released his Qi. She fell back and the Kid jumped on top of her and started to kiss her face.

"Mommy," He said again. His speech was kind of slurred much like that of a toddler. But he was supposed to be the same age as Chen. Oh, Please don't tell me I reversed his brain too? Shit. Haru thought tho himself as he watched how Scotty behaved.

He was walking crouched down to the ground like he couldn't gain his balance. "What are you doing Scotty? You are embarrassing yourself. Pull yourself together." The woman said to her child and lightly slapped his cheek trying to get him to come to his sense.

It was no use. He definitely had brain damage from the time being reversed on his skull. Haru was feeling guilty as tires screeched across the road on the other side of the gate. A few seconds went by and then a small middle aged man with a thick busy beard came running from the gates.

"What is going on!" He shouted as he reached the climbing frame. A few seconds went before and four more men came running. These men were all tall and were tattooed from head to toe. They looked like trouble so Haru stood in front of Chen to get him out of sight.

The man knelt down with his wife. "What's wrong you said he was bleeding?" He asked her. "Daddy," The boy said and then started to hug his dad. Scotty don't you think you are a little too old to be doing this? What's wrong? He asked but there was no reply.

The woman started crying. "I think our boy has brain damage. We need to get him to a hospital immediately." The man suddenly became serious. A stern look formed on his face almost like a school teacher and he looked up at Haru. "Was it you that did this to my boy?" He asked and then get close to Haru in a threatening manner.

"Your kid did it to himself. And if you don't mind. Take a step back you are in my personal space." The man looked outraged by what Haru had just said. "You boy. You think your tough do you? I was in prison for thirteen years. You are not tough." He smiled and then folded his arms. He then looked down and noticed Chen stood behind Haru.

"Oi kid. Was it you? Get out here and tell me the truth!" He shouted. Chen flinched with fear and tears began to form in his eyes once again. He was on the verge of crying. "I will give you another chance to take a step back," Haru said this time calm and with force. He released a bit of Qi to pressure him but he didn't need to.

The man gulped and then took a step back. There must have been something about Haru's face that struck fear into the man. Haru then looked at the over four men. They all slowly backed away. He finally looked down at the woman holding her kid.

She jumped when she saw him. And when the kid looked up he began to cry. "M-monster!" He screamed and then hugged his mom. Haru was confused. He looked behind him. There was nothing. Was it him? He looked at Chen who was stood still.

Chen then pointed up to the sky. Haru looked back at the other people who were now looking up too. Haru followed suit looking up to the sky. Golden light blazed out for a moment and then a screech pierced the ears of everyone present. They all passed out instantly.

Everyone apart from Haru. He was familiar with this sound. It was a phoenix. Haru was confused. Why was there a phoenix here? It had a dark red coloured flame and floated in the sky. Its size was rather small but it was obviously the same species as the phoenix in Haru's bloodline.

"Strange. He doesn't dare to go any closer to you? I was planning to surprise you but I guess that is off the table now. A man who looked to be in his early thirties walked floated in the sky next to the phoenix.

He had dark coloured feathers that stretched out from his back. His long slicked back hair managed to stay in place as he dropped from the sky and landed on the ground. He made a small creator as he landed.

Haru was surprised but not really impressed by his performance. By the stories, Haru had heard. Flying techniques like that were useless. They would consume too much Qi and you couldn't use external Qi whilst they are activated. He just stood there and stared as the man walked over toward him.

"You know who I am right?" The man asked Haru.

"Nope. And I don't care. If you want to play at the park don't mind me I won't stop you I was just leaving anyway." Haru said as he picked up Chen and slung him over his shoulder. "Farewell.." He turned his back to leave.

"I never imagined the one who took down the faceless unit to be such a coward." He said. Haru stopped. "Faceless? Oh, You must be their leader right? They call you The Director. Well nice to meet you but like I said. Farewell." He began to walk away again.

The director sent his Qi toward Haru to try to suppress him. It didn't even make Haru miss a stride as he carried on like nothing was happening. The director's eyes became wide as he saw a golden flame rise from Haru's back and fly up into the sky.

"Quickly! Dodge it!" He shouted!
