977 This Is Who I Am
Gary was looking at just how many people had been brought. There had to be around fifty or so gang members just for the three of them.
He couldn"t believe that a man would act in such a way just because he wanted them not to hit a kid. At times he thought the world was getting better, and then situations like this one would appear.
Sir Ken was continuing to gloat as he looked at the three of them who appeared to be on the back foot.
That was when Gary stepped forward, tensing his fist, but Kai reached out his hand, stopping him from walking ahead.
“Hey!” Gary called out, still being held back by Kai. “All of this, how much money did you spend? Clearing the platform, hiring a bunch of thugs!”
Sir Ken was a bit dumbfounded. He thought there would be one of two reactions from the stranger: either for him to try and attack and fight his way out of the situation or to beg for his life. But out of everything, this person seemed to be concerned about money.
“This is what power can do for you. If you have funds, you are able to control this world at will. Blame the game, not the player,” Sir Ken stated.
“You idiot!” Gary continued to shout. “With all that money, you could have helped people. You could have hired these workers to build houses or feed the mouths of those struggling every day.”
“There are those that are losing their lives, taking their own lives because they can’t afford to pay the next bill, and then there’s you wasting money like this on clearing a platform for such a stupid thing!”
Sir Ken’s lip was curling. He particularly didn’t like the insult shouted at him.
“The way you speak is of a poor man. Don’t blame the situation because of their own lack of talent and decide to be a victim. Why should I care for their lives? In this world, I’m too busy fighting for myself. What are you idiots doing? Get rid of them!” Sir Ken shouted, flinging his hand forward, and the group of men started to run ahead.
Gary was ready to bulldoze his way through the group. It would be fairly easy for him to do, but he could feel Kai’s hand was still tense around his stomach.
“I’ll show you, Gary. There are other ways of dealing with the situation than just your fists,” Kai stated.
Seeing how calm Kai was, Gary relaxed a bit and stepped back, and instead, Kai moved ahead.
“Are you sure you guys should be doing this?” Kai said as he pulled his phone and waved it in his hand.
The attackers were hesitant for a moment, wondering why someone wasn’t running off but instead showing their phone, and that’s when several pings were heard among the attackers.
They could feel it; some of them could feel their phone vibrate, while others could hear the message tone from their phone.
One of the men at the back pulled out their phone to have a look.
“Guys, check your phone now!” He said in a panic. “It’s a message from Krazy!”
Hearing the panic in their voice, they quickly took their phones out, and they all could see the message being displayed.
Some of them were shaking, and sweat was running down the side of their heads. Immediately they straightened up and looked toward the three of them.
“We apologize for all the trouble we have caused!” The men bowed down as an entire group. “Please, forgive us!”
Sir Ken’s mouth opened at the sight, but words weren’t coming out. He just moved forward in between the group.
“What are you doing? Why are you bowing down to them? They should be the ones begging for forgiveness! What do I pay you fools for!” Sir Ken shouted.
It was then that Sir Ken could feel the side of his pocket start to vibrate.
“I think it’s best that you answer that, and then maybe you will get the answers to your questions,” Kai said.
Taking out his phone, he looked at who the contact was, and it was none other than Krazy, the leader of the Cl.u.s.ter Gang.
Sir Ken answered and immediately was demanding answers.
“Krazy, are you going to explain to me why your men won’t move? Do you want me to get the White Rose involved and clear your gang completely?” Sir Ken shouted.
“Do what you want, old man, but my men aren’t going to attack or listen to a word you say,” Krazy answered.
“What! You fool, are you trying to test me at a time like this!”
“From now on, the Cl.u.s.ter Gang breaks off all ties with you, Sir Ken. Don’t ever contact me again. I’ve ordered my men to fall back.”
Sir Ken could see that the words were true as the men turned around and started to head back up the staircase.
“No, what are you doing!” Sir Ken said, trying to get in the way of some of them, but they just moved past him.
“I’ll pay you out of my own pocket. Just stay and deal with these guys, and then you can go!” Sir Ken continued to shout, but nothing he said or did seemed to work.
“Krazy, explain yourself. Why, after all this time, have you decided to do this now? Don’t you know who you’re dealing with!”
There was a slight pause on the other end of the phone.
“Due to all of the business we have done over the years, I will give you an answer. This time, it appears that you have messed with the wrong person. I thought this would happen one day, but not for you to be this stupid.”
“I suggest you beg for your life because there isn’t anyone stupid enough to go against one of the Kings.”
The phone on the other end had hung up with the final message pa.s.sed on.
“One of the… Kings.”
