Infinite Ocean Ch 16

"How do you feel, Rain?" I asked as I laid her down to the floor.

"I feel better, but I think that we should rush back to Jess. I barely saved her from being abducted and with that guy on the loose,He will most likely target Jess and your Grandpa." Rain said in a feeble voice since she was recovering from being poisoned. While her voice might sound weak, I can see it in her eyes that she wants to immediately see Jess.

"My Master will be fine. Althought they were old, they are still more than enough to beat up all those gang members." I said with a confident tone

While Rain was catching her breath I started to get the meaning of Master's lesson about killing. Yes, killing is bad, however it can be the only way to protect your family and friends. Right now my Masters are strong enough to defeat the hoodlooms who dared to plot on us. But what about when we start sailing to a place where there are strong beings which want to kill them, will I talk it out like an idiot? No, is my definite answer.

As I resolve my self, Rain meditated and gathered some mana. I picked her up and used my movement technique to rush to where Rain and Jess live.

Arriving at the area, We immediately saw a tornado circling the house. There is a person inside which I sense is Jess. The tornado was a wind wall which prevents anyone to approach it.

With that being said, a bunch of magician were firing spells to the tornado while a lot of men dressed similarly to the one's that tried to ambush me were waiting for it to be destroyed.

The whole street was in chaos due to the fact that some Marines were knocked out. There are no one with a high rank within the Marines present so there is no one strong enough to stop the members of the Black Tentacle Gang from attacking Jess.

As Sam and Rain were resting, Sylvester had already rode a horse directly to a huge walled compound with a pickaxe sign in front.

Sylvester Talon is actually an innocent man before who works in the bounty department. He was an orphan who was talented enough to be able to learn appraisal magic from a beggar who he once met. As he was a hard working man, he was able to start a family early.

Contrary to the expectations of others from the bounty department, it has long been corrupted by the Black Tentacle Gang.

It was originaly a small time gang before, but due to its mysterious boss, it became a strong power in the underworld of the Pearl City.

It has long penetrated the Marine Outpost, planting spies inside so that they can take advantage of some idiotic bounty hunters. They were able to threathen Sylvester with the life of his family.

"Red Boss, I am sorry! I failed as your subordinate." Sylvester shouted as he kneeled infront of a red masked man

"Hmph. You fucking failure! How hard is it to kill a single guy." The red masked man shouted angrily as he start to release a strong pressure.

"Remember that if you fucking fail again, you will witness the lives of your family vanishing right before your eyes." Another masked man with a blue mask said as he pulls the chains of the Wife and 9 year old Daughter of sylvester

"Please Boss, give me another chance I am begging you." Sylvester kneeled and begged infront of the red masked man while he look at the suffering his wife and daughter are going through.

Sylvester has been a puppet of the Black Tentacle Gang for three years already. When the previous head of the bounty department was killed, he was promoted. The joy of his promotion didn't last since his wife and daughter were abducted by the gang.

He was forced to tell the Gang, who earned a huge bounty so that they can rob them. The ways of the Gang is like this. They will abduct the loved ones of the poor bounty hunter. They will then notify the poor hunter that his loved ones will be killed if he don't give the bounty up. After that, they will then continually blackmail them until he is of no use, before they violate and torture the loved ones of the poor hunter. They will kill the hunter after he witness all of the sufferings of the ones he car about.

The cruelty held the members of the gang in a strong grip of the Boss. Nobody really know who they really were and what the Boss really look like. There are three Boss in the Gang, all of which wearing colored mask.

The Red boss kicked Sylvester hard before leaving the room, while Blue Boss followed as he laughed maniacly as he pulled the chains of the wife and daughter of Sylvester.

"I am sorry Sam Smithson, but I have no choice. My hands has been stained by blood many times and I am ready to be killed at any moment. If I ever die in your hands, may you destroy this wretched gang." Sylvester mumbled as his expresaion becomes colder and resolute.

As me and Rain observed the hoodlooms attacking. I start to feel uneasy. That is because if you look at it in a single glance, it may look like they were just insane and bad people who wants to destroy. But as I was able to observe them more, I started to see resolution in their eyes. It was as if there was something that they were protecting which lead them to attack.

"I'm going in." Rain said discreetly before charging to the tornado as she start speaking in an unknown language.

The tornado was split for a quick second and she was able to get inside. I can sense that they were able to meet peacefully.

As I was left alone, I decided to stop those charging to the tornado. With the use of 《White Tiger Fist》, I was able to knock all of them out.

"Its okay now, its over." I shouted to the tornado to signal Rain or Jess to disable it.

The tornado starts to thin out slowly. Since I have sometime I start to wake some gang members up for interogation.

They spilled that they were just taking orders from Boss S, which I assume is Sylvester. As I cross cjeck the statements of the members, I notice some names which is unique.

There are some that said that they were under either Red, Blue, or Yellow Boss. Some even started crying as I tie them up screaming about their families. Which was very oddfor a gang member to say.

In the Smith Island, I already met some small time gangs. Usually, they never care for their families and were just mindlessly picking up fights in the name of profit.
