Bang!

I kicked the door and burst into the room like a gangster and angrily snarled, “Hey b*tch! Did you date another guy without my knowing?! You bastard, how dare-!”

I stopped.

I saw Anna sitting in the bed, taped covered her mouth and tears glistening in the corner of her eyes. She was tied up in the bed post, looking at me shocked as if she was seeing a ghost.

Beside the bed was a middle-aged man wearing a hockey mask. I can see his eyes through the mask, looking at me with widened eyes. He was holding a gun so I know he’s bad news.

I can see his eyes through the mask, looking at me with widened eyes. He was holding a gun so I know he’s bad news.

What the heck?!

“Oh?” I was startled. “That’s a nice play there, hardcore…” I muttered. I scratch the back, laughing awkwardly.

“Well, actually I also like BDSM play, yeah you rock dude.” I gave him a thumbs up then hurriedly turn around and walk.

“Hahaha, teach me next time, okay~”

However, before I could run away, the man steps out of his daze and pointed the gun at me.

Oh, sh*t!

“Come here.” He said.

Woah! Seriously! I almost cursed out loud!

He has a gun, damn it!!

He shook the gun in front of me, threatening me.

Without any choice, I walk towards him, “Ahm, actually, I just came here you know. I won’t say anything! I promise!”

Bang! The man punched my face.

Ah, that would certainly get bruised!

I put my hand against my cheek which was now swelling like a little tomato. Sour tears started coming out from my eyes… it really hurts!!

Damn! Gentlemen talk with their mouth and not their fist!!

The man throws me a rope and said, “Tie yourself up with this. Properly! Don’t make any strange actions, or else there would be a new hole in that forehead of yours!”

He shoved the muzzle of the gun into my forehead. Seriously?

What would you do if that fired off? I would instantly die!!

“Hey, man,” I called out, currently in the verge of wetting my pants. “You know, in my elementary days, they always call me the cheese villain.” I started while tying myself with a rope. “That’s because I always stole the cheese from my classmate’s lunches… yeah.”

“Why, you ask me?” I asked.

“That’s because I really admired criminals and I wanted to become one. Why don’t we become partners instead and kill this mother*cker b*tch! You know, I really don’t like this girl. She actually played with my feelings, oh come on man, sympathize a little. Why don’t I kill this b*tch for you? Let’s become villains together… how about it?”

I proposed after I finished tying the rope.

The man looked at the rope in front of me which actually had a perfect ribbon knot. Yeah, I did a perfect job on that one. Seeing it, the man kicked my stomach.

This guy seriously has an abnormal violent tendency. He really is a bad guy.

The man laughs after seeing me crouching on the floor while coughing. Dude, that super hurt!

He once again aimed his gun at Anna who was looking at me in a daze. Although there are fear and panic, but if one looks closely, there was actually a hint of confusion.

If my hands were not tied, I would surely wave my hand and say, “Hey, what’s up~”

“So this is your boyfriend… huh?” the man asked Anna while pointing his gun to her head. “It’s good that he joined our little party~”

“… …” Anna was bewildered and she looked at me confusingly. She seemed to have something to say as she was groaning but because of the tape, even a dog couldn’t understand her.

“Hoho, pretty loving aren’t we?” the man once again spoke. He seemed to be misunderstanding something.

But dude, does he brush his teeth every day? The smell even went as far as from my position…

It stinks like a sewer!

Someone should drive some personal hygiene on this guy~

“Yeah,” I nodded. “But she was actually seeing my best friend as well…” I made a very pained expression.

“You should know how painful it was… damn!” I cursed loudly. “Only her face is pretty, but her insides are rotten…” Though not as rotten as your mouth! Of course, I didn’t say that out loud.

Though not as rotten as your mouth! Of course, I didn’t say that out loud.

He might go terminator on me~

“Hoho, so this b*tch is a little sl*t?” He said as he walked over, extending his free hand towards Anna’s bulging chest.

4’D? Or maybe 5’E…?

That’s some pretty good haven there~

“You won’t mind, will you?” The man smirk as his hand’s already few inches away from the forbidden fruit.

Anna was looking at me, panic.

Ah, actually I do mind…

Letting out a breath, I decided to finally stop this farce. But suddenly,

“Hey, what are you doing?” a voice appeared behind me. “C2, didn’t I only said to watch her?”

The man called C2 stopped his hand and withdrew it while clicking his tongue. “I’m just joking, did you found it?”

Seriously? C2? What kind of naming sense is that? Is that some kind of drink?

However, as expected it’s not only one…

I turned my head and looked behind me. There was a man similarly wearing a hockey mask.

Is hockey mask already the current trend for criminals?

“That 'thing' ain't here," the other guy announced. "He must've taken it with him or worse, hide it somewhere..."

"Well, he's gotta come home sometime. We don’t have a choice, we will wait for him.” The masked man suddenly noticed me. “Who’s this guy?”

Before C2 answered, I immediately presented myself with a big business smile; “Hello, I’m a Lv8 apprentice robber. I'm equipped with love-love heart wand and I’m specialized in stealing hearts. My best skill, is heart be damned! Pleased to meet you!”

?? The man returned his gaze at his companion. “What is this guy saying?”

“He’s this lass' boyfriend. He arrives a while ago so I had him tied up too…” C2 answered. He then raised his foot, wanting to kick me but while he was talking, I already finished my own preparation.

I press the phone’s screen hidden in my pocket.

‘Brother Daniel, you have a call! Do you want me to answer it, do you, do you? Go die!!’

My beautiful ringtone immediately played.

The voice startled the two and immediately pointed their guns at me. Hey guys, why are you so paranoid? It’s just a freaking ringtone~

I wiggled from my position as if trying to pull something from my pocket.

“What are you doing?!” the man cried out.

“Hey man, I have a call,” I answered. “Why don’t you take it for me? In any case, I can’t answer it, right?”

C2 stared at me for a while before he looked at the other man.

“It must be my damn traitor friend; this bastard’s having an affair behind my back. He told me before that he would be coming if I did anything to this girl…” I added.

The man nodded his head.

C2 walked towards me while I crawl to the corner. When C2 arrived he started looking for my phone in my pocket.

When he finally pulled it out, it was the moment that his guard was off. With my free hand, I gave him a punch in the stomach.

Buga-!?

The other man hasn’t noticed us yet because of C2’s body blocking me. This is the reason why I crawl in such quite a deep corner, to make C2 become a blind spot.

C2 wanted to scream but before he could, I raised my hand and did a quick chop in the back of his neck. He fainted.

He fainted.

So easy~

With him unconscious, his body started falling while weighing down on me. I immediately supported him, while trying not to look unnatural.

I turned my sight to the other man. Fortunately, it seems like he was still trying to find something as he went on one of the closets, rummaging the insides.

Quietly, I laid down C2’s body on the side.

I noticed Anna looking at me with a shock expression. Her gaze alternately changes from C2 and then to my free hands.

I grinned and put my index finger to my lips and did a ‘Sshh’ gesture.

However, reality is cruel. It always doesn’t go to plan.

Police sirens sounded out from outside, alarming the other man.

He immediately turned to us and saw me with utmost freedom and delight. I almost yelled in shock.

“You!” He cried out. He looked at C2 unconscious and hurriedly raised his gun. He wanted to shoot me.

With a quick move, I pulled a 5 – 6 inches long needle from my waist and throw it towards the man. The needle successfully pierced through his hand and because of pain, the gun fell to the ground.

Whoa, fortunately, I always carry three long needles with me after getting the throwing skill. It was best for surprise attack after all.

Not wasting any opportunity, I rushed off.

“You bastard!” the hockey masked man roared in anger. He saw me sprinting towards him so he endured the pain and clenched his uninjured hand and throws a fist at me.

“Slow!”

... but I twisted my body in a hurry and evade it. Safe!. I’m able to see his movement.

Systema is not limited to knife fighting and firearms training but also hand-to-hand combat and grappling.

Relax. Keep your movement loose. Open up.

The body has to be free of tensions, filled with endurance, flexibility, effortless movement.

I caught his arm and put it on my shoulder with my back facing him. I back kicked one of his legs and throw him forward.

With my hand, I twisted his arm and attack his chest with my knee. The hockey masked man let out a scream but I still didn’t stop.

I grabbed his mask and throw it away. I throw a punch in his cheek and with my fist, I hit his nose!

Truthfully, the nose is a very vulnerable area so it could easily be broken with any strike so it’s a good one to incapacitate an opponent for a short time.

Then, I sped things up.

Like a rain shower, I bombarded him with my fists. He tried to block it with his hands but it only lasted for a short moment before his guard broke off and he had eaten my fist full course.

Thinking it was about time for the police to reach this floor; I stopped my attack and stood up.

The poor guy has blood splattered from his nose and mouth. His eyes closed and he made a gurgling sound.

His head filled with swelling as if he was bombarded by hornets, lying on his back, bleeding from the various facial lacerations and coughing fits.
