Chapter 106: Undefeated

October 20th, 2089

Kiras POV

I lashed out with my fist, sending blood and teeth flying as I pummeled my opponents face. The strike knocked him off his feet as he fell unconscious. My intuition warned me of an attack coming from my blind spot. I dropped into a crouch, letting the punch hit empty air above me. I turned back and kicked at the mans shin, a sharp crack indicating that I did more than just bruise it. The large, beefy man fell with a cry of pain while I rolled away as a 3rd enemy stomped the ground where I had just been.

I dashed away into a nearby tangle of people, taking full advantage of their distraction with each other to sneak in cheap shots to necks, kidneys, and any other vulnerable areas. Several more people fell to the ground. Other fights soon resolved, leaving only myself and 3 fighters. Those three looked to each other and came to an unspoken agreement, resulting in a 3 on 1 scenario. The three men all looked to have a foot and 200 pounds on me, yet they were clearly frightened at facing a teenage girl in combat.

With the money weve made, Ive paid off my debts and made sure theres no one left who wants to kill me. Ive decided to get out of the game and just run my casino legally. He snorted Unfortunately, my casino is still in a shit part of town and Ill have scum around all the time. I need some muscle to keep the drunks and angry gamblers in line. You interested? There was a silence as he waited for my answer. You just cant let me go, can you? Shut up, brat! Mr. Chino huffed.

I wisely decided not to push it and instead changed the subject. What sparked the change? Ive never waded too deep into the sewer that is the Tokyo underground. There is a lot of messed-up shit, and I am just a greedy bastard. As long as it made me money, I was satisfied with my place. But even so, things have become scary. The recent uproar over some upstarts muscling their way in has ended in a complete takeover. The 47 Ronin, the Katsuragi family, and the Youkai are all gone. Now those psychos from Pandemonium are in charge. Im a crook, not an evil and heartless monster.

I had no reply to that, still being caught in the midst of processing what he just said. Terra needs to hear this. It was only a little over a week ago when Reiji and his friends got attacked by Pandemonium demons, if theyve established an outpost here its only going to get worse. Their terrorist attacks have been increasing in both frequency and ferocity around the world. Japan has managed to avoid the brunt of it, I suspect it is because of Terra. Hes been gone so frequently lately trying to hunt down those demons that Im worried hes overworking himself even with Rin and Irenes help.

Hey, Mr. Chino. Do you know anything else about Pandemonium? I asked him as we were driving back to the casino. From what I heard from my associates before they turned, died, or ran away, Pandemonium isnt too interested in making money. They want manpower and influence, and theyre very willing to pay for it. Frankly, it looks like theyre gearing up for a war. We didnt speak anymore after that. I was too busy thinking and Mr. Chino was too busy fantasizing about how he was going to spend his money.
