Chapter 372 - Day MDCLV, Part II

Rachel looked at Patricia like she just betrayed her, but blonde shook her head, insisting she wasn't behind it.

- Thank you for your cooperation - said one of the men who just entered, looking at Patricia.

He was wearing a suit and a black shirt, with a golden chain on full display around his neck. The right hand had a watch around the wrist. The guy took off his sunglasses, as the rest of his, clearly, underling packed themselves inside.

- I don't know what he is talking about, I swear - she protested, looking straight into Rachel's eyes.

She was about to cry.

The guys started to look around, as the rest blocked the only exit. There was something in him that was pissing me off so I decided to do something stupid.

I cleared my throat and approached him.

- This is private property, so I would appreciate it if you guys would fuck off.

He stopped and turned around to face me with a smirk on his face. Then he pulled out a gun from under his jacket and pointed it straight at me, then without a word pulled a trigger a few times. The very moment I saw the gun, I turned off the seal on my body.

The bullet hit my torso forcing me to curl up a bit and make a step or two back. The girls screamed in panic.

- How about you shut up, pal? - proposed the man, thinking I'm on the death's door.

He couldn't be more wrong. The bullets pierced the clothes I was wearing since I didn't have my enhanced stuff on, but they couldn't do more than stick to my naked body underneath, unable to penetrate the flesh. 

I turned the seal back on and stretched out taking him by surprise.

- I would be lying if I said I didn't want to do this from the very moment you guys got inside, so I won't, I'll just fuck you up - I said and used 'Shadow fusion'.

I could feel my body changing in terms of seconds. A little bit of void essence escaped during the transformation and created a cloud of smoke that surrounded me as I walked forward, and quickly disappeared.

The guy didn't expect this. I saw it in his wide-open eyes and mouth. His finger moved on its own on the trigger, but I was faster. I shadow walked closer to him, grabbed the gun, and just crashed it in my hand. The bullet in the chamber exploded, sending small bits of broken metal flying, but I didn't care.

The girls screamed even louder and tried to hide in panic, as the guys rushed to pull out their guns, but I was yet again faster. I shadow walked among them and using my superhuman speed and strength, provided by the fusion, just started grabbing and throwing.

The bodies flew through the air like ragdolls screaming, trying to do something, but they couldn't stop in midair, they were bound to hit whatever was on their trajectory. In such a way, in time of second or maybe two, I just dealt with the whole crew.

Then slowly walked past the girls crouching on the ground, with hands over their heads, trembling in fear towards my favorite leader of the pack. Groaning, his men were picking themselves up from the ground.

He was still in shock, unable to connect the dots. His brain couldn't figure out how the hell things he just witnessed were possible. I grabbed him by the bleeding hand, still extended, holding the remains of the gun, and shadow walked just a few steps. But I didn't protect him from the void.

We emerged in a cloud of smoke, and he immediately fell to his knees struggling to catch even a single breath. There was a gagging sound coming from his open mouth, as he fell to his face, trembling in fear of what he just witnessed.

The other guys started to pick themselves up, but few shadow walks and a couple of punches were enough to keep them down. I did my best to control the strength.

Then I stood there, in the middle of this mess, looking at the girls. They slowly put their hands down and scared tried to peek around. Realizing the dire situation is gone, they both slowly stood up.

- W-who are y-you? - mumbled Patricia looking at me.

I shadow walked closer to her with an extended hand.

- Peter.

She squeaked shortly, and her eyes got even wider. Slowly, and trembling, she shook my hand.

- I guess I'm done here, so why don't I fix your little problem for you on my way back? - I proposed, looking at Rachel.

She needed a moment to understand what I just said to her.

- A-are y-you gonna k-kill t-them? - she asked.

- No. I won't. I'll just send them on a trip. Think of me as a traveling agent... of your nightmares. Am I right, pal? - I asked accenting the last word, as I made few steps towards the leader, still fighting to catch his breath.

He turned to his back and had a hand on his throat.

- What d-did you do to h-him? - asked Patricia.

- As I said. Took him on a little trip. To a place where... It's hard to explain, but trust me, you don't want to go there, ever. Now...

I crouched down next to the guy and grabbed him by the collar, pushing his hand aside. He immediately caught my wrist, but his grip was very weak. I pulled him up a bit.

- How about you do me a little favor, and take me and the girls to your boss? Or perhaps you are the boss?

He shook his head immediately, but couldn't say a thing, still suffocating.

- If you won't start breathing, I will take you to that place, and live there forever.

His eyes got wider. He shook his head, and I saw tears in his eyes, then he finally caught his first breath, and immediately turned to the side to puke. I dropped him and stepped back.

- Are you a devil? - asked Patricia. - Are you gonna hurt us? Please don't, I'm...

She started crying.

- Stop! - I yelled at her, and she immediately straightened up. - If you won't stop insulting me to my face, I'll literally bend you over my knee, and will spank you. Now, pick up that shitface, and let's go. We have places to be and villains to slap. 

She nodded quickly grabbed Rachel's hand, and together they rushed to the guy. They were a bit disgusted, but they helped the guy to stand up and pushed him out of the storage house.

We left the place, heading to the cars, parked a few hundred meters to the side, where our new chauffeur led us.
