Bammm! ...
Dave landed a hard upper-cut into his opponent's lower jaw, sending him looking up at the sky. By receiving a hard hit from Dave in the jaw like that, it can be sure that he had difficulty chewing food for the next few days.
And with that person down, all the people who had ganged up on Dave were already lying on the floor and couldn't fight anymore.
Yep, he was the last person who wanted to gang up on Dave. But no matter how hard they tried to fight, their fighting abilities were still nothing compared to Dave's at all.
A person with bruises all over his body tried to get back up.
"Cough~ ... " the person with bright green hair named Acong coughed and vomited fresh blood from his mouth. He tried to stand up with the help of his hand on the wall, while with the other hand he pulled something out of the back pocket of the jeans pants that he was wearing.
A small knife with a slightly bent shape was now pointed at Dave. "I'll fucking kill you right now!"
Of course, seeing a sharp object pointed at him made Dave wary. Also, that person had pissed Dave off. How can Dave not be angry? Knowing that the new recruits from the Destroyer did what a real man shouldn't do in a fight, and also, Dave was alone. Should he do something sneaky like pulling out a knife?
Just as Acong wanted to attack Dave with his small knife, the roar of the motorbike sound that could be heard from outside the building echoed throughout the room. The man still didn't stop trying to attack Dave.
Dave realized who it was because not long after that, the only figure Dave respected in the Destroyer was seen in the front door of the building which was wide open.
Dave also avoided the knife, took a little step to the left and presented his right knee to the stomach of the person who tried to stab him. "Cough! ... " Once again, his cough spewed fresh blood from Acong's mouth.
Dave grabbed Acong's bright green hair and pulled him hard back so that Acong raised his head.
"Gang up on one person and use a sharp weapon sneakily? Do you still call yourself a man?"
Dave stopped grabbing Acong's hair and kicked him so that he fell to the floor. Acong, who was still crouched in pain on the floor, looked at Martin and several other high-ranking member of Destroyer.
A smile was painted on Acong's lips. Acong also turned his eyes to Dave. "This time you really died, little bastard!" he shouted at Dave who was still showing the flat expression that Dave usually used.
Martin, the leader of the gang, walked over to Acong and crouched down to align his position with Acong who was still lying on the floor.
Martin also grabbed Acong's green hair very hard, "Destroyers don't need trash like you!"
Bammmm! ...
Acong's face was slammed very hard onto the floor, causing bloodstains to scatter on the floor around him. It seemed that the man named Acong had lost consciousness.
Martin got back up and saw the people who had recently joined the Destroyer lying on the floor with their bodies covered in bruises. "What the hell is this?"
"Just having a little fun. After all, I've never disciplined new recruits."
"Discipline?" asked Martin to confirm one thing.
Without answering him, Dave took off his jacket and also took off his shirt and turned around. With the rest of the necklace he wore around his neck, Dave showed the Destroyer tattoo on his back, causing Martin to grin broadly.
Dave turned back around and smiled a lopsided smile at Martin and some of the great Destroyer generals who were standing behind Martin.
"You're finally back, Devil's Son."
Dave frowned, "Devil's Son? Since when did you give me that ridiculous nickname?"
"Just now." said Martin who then returned to circulating his gaze at the people who were beaten up by Dave alone. "These people are not just new mere members of the Destroyer, they are former high-ranking member gangs that we just defeated in the South Jakarta area. And you just beat them up like this as if they were easy opponents. Moreover, you did it all alone."
"Whatever you say. But, don't ever give me a weird nickname, my real name is good enough." refused Dave who returned wearing his shirt and jacket.
Martin just laughed in response to this.
In the midst of their warm conversation, Dave's eyes changed drastically. "Actually, I need your help."
Martin understood the meaning of Dave's gaze. "Okay, come with me."
Martin invites Dave into his private room, leaves the great generals of the Destroyer outside and provides education to the new members of the Destroyer who are beaten up by Dave.
In the past, Dave was arguably Martin's favorite. His own position in the Destroyer was incomparable to that of the other higher-ups. And of course, Dave will return to the position he left behind.
"So, what kind of help do you need?" asked Martin, who took off his black leather jacket and hung it on a hanger in the corner of the room and sat on the sofa, while Dave sat on the chair opposite him.
"Tonight, my friend's family will be attacked by someone. What I hear, he is someone who comes from a strong family financially, and will hire people to attack my friend's family."
"Actually, what problems do they have?" asked Martin, rolling dried marijuana leaves and licking the stems before sandwiching them between his upper and lower lips and burning the tips.
"It's a kind of internal problem, and there was someone who also mentioned the company ownership certificate."
Martin frowned. "As far as I can remember, you really don't like meddling in the internal affairs of other people's families. Who is this person that you wanna help? A girl? Or maybe, she's your girlfriend?"
Dave refuses when Martin offers him a marijuana roll, and chooses to smoke his own cigarette. "She is indeed a girl, but she is not my girlfriend. I already have a girlfriend, and a little more I'll be engaged to her. The person I want to help right now is just a friend."
"You son of a bitch! What did you just say? You're getting engaged? Why did I just hear good news like this? Later, bring your future fiancée here, I want to see how beautiful she is to melt the heart of the one and only Daveline Stockholm." said Martin excitedly. Martin had always thought of Dave as his own younger brother.
"We can talk about that later ... " Dave cut in as Martin tried to change the subject. "What's important now, I need your help to solve the problem I said earlier."
Martin was silent for a moment, trying to feel the morphine smoke he inhaled. "Sigh~ ... I think I have to stop smoking this stuff. It's getting weird and weird every fucking time, makes me feel like throwing up. Give me your cigarette, Dave."
Dave gave Martin his cigarette and waited for him to finish burning it.
"So, how is it? Can you help me?"
"Just take it easy." said Martin, puffing the nicotine fumes into the air. "To celebrate your return to the Destroyer, I will send all the members to help with your problem. I will come too."
Dave frowned. "Isn't that too much? I just need a few people."
"Of course not. In exchange, you should buy me a drink. Maybe not just me, but all the Destroyers, how does that sound?"
Hearing this made Dave smile. Money has never been a problem for him, and Angeline also never asked Dave about the money Dave spent, because Angeline believes that Dave can be responsible for whatever he does.
Looks like tonight will really be a bloody night.

"Jean, you already home? Where's Dave?"
Jean didn't answer right away, instead she invited Angeline to sit with her on the sofa. Angeline turned off the stove and sat beside Jean.
"What is wrong?" asked Angeline, who was looking at her with a worried look.
"I want to apologize for not notifying you of this sooner. Also, I want to represent Dave to apologize to you."
Angeline showed a confused expression. "What are you talking about, why are you going around like that? Could it be, Dave wants to cancel the engagement?"
Jean shook his head lightly. "No, that's not it. I want to represent Dave to apologize to you, because this has to do with the promise Dave made with you."
"So you want to say that Dave wants to get into the fight between school gang again?"
No, it's not like that. This is different ... Tonight, looks like Dave can't go home ... Wait, I'm confused where to start ... Okay, I'll tell you from the beginning, "said Jean which made Angeline pay attention.
"Do you remember the slapping incident that a girl named Dita did to Dave in class?"
Angeline nodded, "I do remember it. Then?"
Angeline looked impatient waiting for Jean to explain what was really going on. "So, that Dita, she has a fiancé, and her fiancé wants to destroy her family. Tonight, he will bring in the hired people using the wealth and connections his parents have, and it looks like he is eyeing Dita's father's company ownership certificate. "
Angeline was silent for a moment, trying to digest the explanation from Jean in her head, before finally she rounded her eyes perfectly. "Don't tell me ... No, I really understand Dave's character. He definitely won't act carelessly. Besides, Dave is also not the one to interfere in that matter, so tonight he will definitely come home."
Angeline tries to take her cellphone to contact Dave, but Jean holds Angeline's hand. "What I'm saying is the truth. Also, Dave is not alone. Dave ... he ..."
"What?"
"He asked for help from the Destroyer, his old gang. And because of that, maybe in the future Dave will be tied back together with his gang. But Daves have promised me, that he will be fine, and I've also promised you and also for myself, if whatever Dave will carry out in the future, no matter what it will stay by his side. "
Hearing what Jean said made Angeline shed tears from her eyelids. Seeing Angeline cry like that certainly made a soft-hearted Jean also feel like crying.
"You don't know, Jean. If that's the path Dave took ... Dave ... He ..."
Jean also felt impatient with what Angeline wanted to say. "Why? What is it? Dave what?"
Angeline immediately hugged Jean's body, who still didn't understand what Angeline meant. "I'm afraid, if Dave continues to do things like this, then the life path Dave will take will not be much different from the way his dad had lived in the past."
Jean didn't understand what Angeline meant. "Actually, what kind of life has his dad been through in the past?"
Angeline was still crying while hugging the girl's body. Looks like Angeline really has to tell Jean the truth about David. Because after all, Jean will soon be engaged to Dave.
What Angeline felt right now was fear. Angeline is afraid that Dave will have to live a life that is not much different from what his dad, David Stockholm, has been through.
Because if that happens, Angeline will feel that she has failed to become a mother.
