Chapter 47

The next fight Han had was against a man called the viper. Why they called him that was anyone’s guess, but he was ranked at number three on the screen so Han knew he must be strong. He saw the man on the other side of the large hall where the cage was. He was looking at Han with a maniac look in his eyes and then he smiled. Han finally realized why they called him viper. He was a carnivore with large and pointed teeth.

Great!

[Welcome to the cage, you savages!!! Han Luo is coming once again, and this time he goes up against our number three, the viper!!!!]

The viper took a small bag out of his pocket and burst it over his nose. He inhaled it all madly and then sighed while falling to his knees. The crowd around the cage went wild as someone dragged the viper’s limp body into the cage. Han walked in and stood on the other side of the cage, wondering if the man was dead or not.

It took a few minutes, but he finally saw signs of movement from the viper. He convulsed and then shot to his feet like a bullet before charging toward Han.

Han dodged his blow and kneed him in the stomach hard enough to drive him back. The viper was a carnivore, but he was slow as fuck! He wasn’t even half as fast as Ping was!

[It looks like the viper can’t get past his defense! Is Han Luo even trying!? That was a weak-ass attempt by the viper!!]

The viper ran for him again and this time Han grabbed his head and swung his body into the cage. A loud crack resounded across the room and the crowd went wild as the viper fell to the ground with a broken arm. He stood up immediately and charged for Han again while completely ignoring the pain.

Han growled and dodged him again. So this was what that dealer wanted him to become? A mad man with a dependence on her drugs!? He saw red!

He grabbed the viper’s arm and bent it backward.

Crack!!

[Fuck!! Did you hear that!? He broke that shit like a toothpick!!]

The crowd winced in unison. The sound was so loud it drowned out their cheers. He dragged the viper to the center of the cage by his broken arm. Even with the drug in the viper’s system he still felt a substantial amount of pain from his arm being broken in two places.

Han knelt on the vipers back and bent his leg forward until he heard a crack from that too.

Crack!!

“Arghhh!”

Oh, was the drug wearing off? That meant there was a pain threshold for it? Or perhaps it was just because of the fear? He should experiment more to see how far this drug dependence went.

Han grabbed the viper’s arm and bent it at the shoulder till...

Crack!!

The voice of the fat man made the dealer’s blood boil and she turned around and aimed her gun at him.

Bang!

He dropped to the ground dead and she turned away in anger. She would tell Cipher herself to prepare. There was no way she would allow this Han to get the better of her in the underground!

Han walked into the room he was given to rest and sat down on the bench. This was the first time he ever showed that sort of brutality to anyone and he was surprised he didn’t feel any form of repulsion? All he could feel was a slight annoyance still directed at that dealer. Just the thought of her giving the drugs to Miss Kim or even Rin Woo made his blood boil like never before!

The drug she gave him was still in his pocket and as he brought it out to analyze it he heard a knock on his door.

“Come in,”

Rina walked into the room with her hands wrung together and looked towards Han with forlorn eyes. Han immediately stood up and put the drug in his pocket before turning towards her. Did she come to talk to him?

Rina was a little scared to even come here. She wanted to talk to Han before he went to the fight, she was tired of fighting with him already and just felt glad that her brother was back. But after seeing what he did to the viper she felt a little scared of him.

Han took a step towards her and she unconsciously flinched. He immediately stopped.

“Did you want to talk to me?”

Rina nodded while forcing herself to move forward. She couldn’t fear her brother that much!

“Do you have any injuries? I-I don’t know how to do much, but I can take care of the small injuries!”

Rina was not a fighter in the cage but she was used to taking care of Miss Kim’s and Rin Woo’s injuries whenever they come back from fights. It was the least she could do since she was just freeloading off them. Han shook his head in the negative and she hummed sadly. So he didn’t even get a single cut in that fight? That amount of brutality wasn’t something she was used to seeing in her brother!

“Well if you don’t have anything then I guess I’ll just leave. Maybe I’ll see you after your fight?”

She was about to leave but Han suddenly caught her hand and stopped her. She was proud of not flinching this time but she still felt a little bit of fear in her heart.

Han brought up a roll of tape and showed her.

“I don’t have any injuries. But can you help me tie this on my hands? I don’t know how,”

Rina smiled and moved back towards the bench. She pulled him down to his seat and then knelt between his legs as she began tying the tapes around his hands.

“You’re really good at this,”

Han decided to talk about something else to fill the silence. He was grateful that his sister was kind enough to come to see him even after he left her for five years. He didn’t know what he did to deserve her.

Rina looked up at him with a faint smile before looking back down.

“When you disappeared five years ago, I thought about going out to look for you again. But Kim-Noona and Rin Woo stopped me before I could do something stupid. I would have probably died out there. They allowed me to stay with them and they gave me the money I needed to stay in exchange for doing small tasks for them every now and then. I help with their laundry, cook sometimes, and help them with their tape and injuries. I’m useless in the cage but I can do this much”

Han couldn’t even look Rina in the eye.. He felt so ashamed of himself! He shouldn’t be feeling this way! There was nothing he could have done about it! But that didn’t stop the shame from consuming him.
