Chapter 81: Blood Rush (1/2)

On the south side of town, Dan was currently stood outside an abandoned apartment block. The place was quieter and emptier than usual. Usually, the place would be filled with homeless or gang members.

All this was a sign to Dan that he was in the right place. Most likely the Ruman family when they occupied the building, forced the homeless and other gang members to scurry out of here, if they didn't listen, they would be in for a world of hurt.

Dan stood just outside and looked at the building, he didn't have a clue how many members were inside and who was inside. If anyone recognised him as being part of the Noir gang then it would cause trouble for the two gangs.

Luckily for Dan, it wasn't common knowledge that he was a member, otherwise, Kyle wouldn't even think about giving Dan the location of the building.

Dan hesitated for a slight moment before heading into the building, but then he suddenly heard the voice of Scarlett screaming from the top floor.

Dan couldn't wait any longer and rushed into the building. As he ran inside the crummy building Dan spotted three men in front of him near the staircase leading up.

”Hey, who are you!” The man shouted.

But Dan was sprinting now at full force and the next second he had already closed the distance between them. Dan gave a solid punch as hard as he could to the first person, usually, he would hold back for fear of breaking his wrist or knuckles but the rage inside him made him forget about everything.

Dan didn't think twice after hitting the first person, he then leapt on to the second one straight after. Pinning the man's arms to the ground with his knees. Dan then punched left, right, left, right continuously until the man was unconscious.

The third person who had just witnessed the whole thing, ran up the stairs in fear to warn the others of what just happened.

Meanwhile, just outside of the apartment block Novis and Ashley had finally caught up with Dan and saw him enter the building.

”She must be inside,” Ashley said.

”Looks like it,” Novis replied as he started to look at his surroundings now realising where he was.

”Come on then let's go!” Ashley said.

”Wait, don't you realise where we are, it's the south side of town and not just that, we're in gang territory.”

”So, your saying we should leave her in there?”

”No, I'm not saying that but we don't know how many people are in there, we need a weapon.”

Ashley then through her long black bag onto the ground and pulled out her trusty kendo sword.

”Will this do?”

”That's what you were carrying around this whole time?”

Novis then started to look around the building to see if there was anything he could find as he went looking for a weapon he started to talk to George and Arthur.

”George, Arthur, I know you want me to grow and I've never asked for your help before, but if there's the chance Scarlett or any of us get hurt, will you take over and help them?”
