91 91. Fight Back
William looked at the two bodyguards who were pointing handguns at him. The high-speed firearms were ready to spit bullets that would penetrate his body without mercy. No bullet had eyes. No bullet would pity the target.
“Stop fighting back! Or your beautiful wife will find you as a corpse,” said Yamaguchi with a wide grin. He felt that he was about to win because his bodyguards were now using guns as weapons. Who would win against the shotguns?
“You bastard!” said Yamaguchi with a thunderous laugh. “You are the real pain in the ass. Why don’t you just cooperate so we can end the fight sooner.”
William stopped for a moment. He couldn’t be reckless in fighting if his opponent was using a gun. Two people, on top of it. He couldn’t split his concentration between them.
He realized that he was not the fastest person in the world. At close range, it was impossible to dodge a bullet. This was not a movie. He should think rationally.
Luckily, William managed to steal a penknife from one of the bodyguards who were already lying on the floor. He made a move in secret, trying to cut the rope that tied his hands up.
“Ok, I won’t fight!” William said calmly, trying to distract the people around him from hearing the sound of the rope he was trying to cut. “Just do what you want.”
“Good!” Yamaguchi, who was trembling before, now calmed down again. He then ordered his two men holding their pistols to carry out the order. “Strap him in a chair and make a good recording so that Anderson girl will do anything I want.”
A bodyguard who had pointed his gun at William now switched tasks, wanting to take a chair for William. Only one kept holding William at gunpoint to keep William in place.
.....
The bodyguard then picked up the metal chair William had slammed earlier. However, how shocked he was when he found severe damage to the chair. The man shuddered in fear as he glanced at William who saw him with his piercing green eyes. Inwardly, he wondered, what he was dealing with? a monster?
Because the chair was bent and broken, unable to support William’s large body, the bodyguard then looked for another chair. When he was busy with that task, William took the opportunity to talk to the bodyguard who was still pointing a gun at him. He scanned the man up and down, then pretended to hold back a laugh.
“Don’t do anything weird again!” snapped the bodyguard fiercely. However, William could see a trace of worry on the man’s face. He was starting to be instigated by William’s tricks, who still held back his laughter. “What is so funny?”
William shook his head, looked away for a moment, then looked again at his opponent. “This is the first time I’ve seen a haircut like yours. Did your mother forbid you to come to a decent yet expensive parlor?” William said, holding his smile. He increased the level of sedition. “I guess next time you can ask for extra pay to go to a trusted parlor.”
Actually, there was no problem with the man’s haircut. However, William realized that the man cared a lot about his appearance. It was obvious that he would be bothered if his hard efforts were belittled.
“God damn it! I paid twenty thousand yen for this, you asshole!” the man snapped, indicating that he truly felt abused. His hands began to shake out of anger. However, it was only for a moment. He remembered that he was currently on duty. “All right, shut up! Don’t say stupid things anymore. Or you will pay the price.”
“I didn’t mean to mock you. It’s just...” William paused for a moment. He then stepped up and approached the bodyguard without taking his eyes off the man’s hair. “I think your hair would be better without bangs so you don’t look too cute.”
It was then, secretly, William’s hand slipped away from the rope. Dexterously, he then grabbed the gunman’s wrist and pressed down hard on the wrist, causing his opponent to drop the gun. As fast as lightning, William slammed his body to the floor, immediately picked up the gun that was thrown earlier, and jumped at old Yamaguchi who had no bodyguards.
Frankly, the two bodyguards were wide-eyed. They didn’t expect William to directly target their old boss, not attack them.
“You guys, stop doing anything or I’ll shoot your old boss in the head, here!” Now, William felt the upper hand. He hoped his business would be over soon.
“God damn it! How dare you!” Yamaguchi couldn’t move, his moves were locked. His hands trembled, causing his long smoking pipe to fall onto the table.
“There’s no use in getting angry, old man! You have lost,” William said in a curt tone. He felt that the old man who was shackled in his arms was too confident with what he had. “I know where your son and grandchild get their cowardice from. It’s all from you.”
“Fuck!” Yamaguchi cursed in annoyance. “You! Why are you guys silent? Save me!”
William laughed. He thought the old man was very funny because he still thought his men would help him. “You can only beg for safety from me, old man! Don’t you understand the situation?”
“Humph, you are overconfident, young man,” said old man Yamaguchi, while smiling sinisterly. “Too confident.”
He then snapped his fingers ... and suddenly, men were surrounding William. Everyone pointed their weapons at him. Three pointed guns at his head, two crossed a sharp samurai down William’s neck. What a terrible combination. William’s heart skipped a beat. He could no longer show the serene face he had before.
The old man then laughed out loud. He really enjoyed the situation of his victory. It’s great fun to enjoy.
“Beat up this arrogant gigolo’s face!” Yamaguchi ordered, and this time, William couldn’t dodge anymore. Punches and kicks started raining down on his body. Only screams of pain and the smell of blood colored the air a few seconds later. They took no pity on William.
