Chapter 145 - A Cowardly Goon (1/2)
Laz wasn't worried about Jimmy. He was just a normal guy with normal abilities. A guy like that wasn't worth Laz's effort. He was simply hired to do a job. In fact, he would have preferred to have been more low key and not stand out. But there was a problem. Laz couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed like every time something like this came up, there would be a problem.
Laz had sensed it when he had first come outside, but didn't jump to conclusions. After all, there was a large group of people lined up to come in besides the group that Jimmy had brought with him, but Laz took a moment and used his sense to figure it out. There was definitely an infected like him within Jimmy's group of people. That was not good news for Laz.
After making Jimmy fall to his knees, his group of guys started rushing up to attack Laz. At the same time, seeing Laz subdue Jimmy so quickly, the security of Waves also felt rather refreshed and a bit hot blooded. Seeing the group of people start to swarm up, the security, including Anthony and Arnold, came forward as well. It seemed like a large group fight was about to take place.
Laz brought up his free hand and brought the security members to a stop while using his other hand to squeeze Jimmy's shoulder harder. Jimmy couldn't help but cry out in pain as he felt his bones on the verge of breaking. Laz just looked down at Jimmy.
”Tell them to back the fuck up now,” Laz said in a cold voice.
”Stop.....STOP! ALL OF YOU!” Jimmy yelled out.
For the crowd looking on, waiting to get inside, the scene was somewhat comical. Laz was by no means burly or large, yet he was able to subdue a hulking monster like Jimmy with just one hand, even to the point where he called off his goons. It truly was an eye opening experience. More than one of them had pulled out there cell phones to start taking pictures and videos, which caused the security guards to start forming a line to block the view. At this point the gang was also blocking the view from the fight so there was very little to see. Because of the commotion, almost no one noticed Jimmy making a hand gesture. Laz was probably the only one who saw it clearly.
Laz didn't know what it meant, but he learned soon. The guy in Jimmy's gang who clearly had vibes of the infected came forward at once and started charging towards Laz. It seemed like he had started using his abilities as Laz could finally get a read on him. Turns out this guy was already a peak low level, condensation realm, almost at the mid level. This over all power of his was way lower than Laz's but he still gave off a dangerous feel. As Vivi once told him, you can't always judge a person by their abilities. Just because someone isn't as high level as someone else doesn't mean they can't kill someone who is a higher level. When everyone is still this low on the scale, a few levels means almost nothing. Laz never forgot that bit of advice she gave.
Seeing this new guy charge over, Laz tightened his grip, lifted Jimmy's body up off the ground and threw him back towards Arnold and Anthony. The pressure he used caused Jimmy's shoulder to break along with several other bones, making him unable to do anything but scream out the entire time. Laz then turned his sights on the guy who was charging over. He had an ugly face with a large nose, somewhat floppy ears and actually looked to be one of the smallest guy sin the group. He wore their typical black leather vest with the snake wrapped around the skull on the back, but it looked like it was way to large for him, almost as though it was designed for a much bigger guy. Although he was running towards Laz, his speed wasn't quick and it took a moment for him to get to Laz. Or at least, with Laz's sense and vision, it felt that way. For everyone else though, it looked like he had run over in the blink of en eye.
Just as Laz thought he would stop when he came within range, the big nosed, ugly guy just seemed to go a little faster, as though intent on running into Laz. Laz just stood there and let him come, interested in seeing what would happen. Just as the guy was about to smash into Laz, Laz got a strange feeling from him. It was like, there was a sudden increase in the air pressure around the front of the ugly man. Laz suddenly got the impression that he wasn't being run into by a person but instead by a bus going at high speed. It was too late for Laz to move since he had waited so long so he could only brace himself on the ground and punch out with his fists, using the Dragon fist punch that he had long neglected.
With the surge in his energy coming forward, Laz was able to keep a layer between him and his attacker, but he was still sent sliding back almost 30 feet before he came to a stop. Just the momentum from the charge caused that to happen while the dragon fist had knocked off a good portion of the oncoming energy. Laz was amazed by this result. He had a tough body that had even been trained in the stone bath, and yet still he was sent flying back that far. Laz couldn't imagine what would have happened if he had taken a direct hit, but he wasn't overly worried.
If Laz was amazed, the members of Jimmy's gang were even more so. This guy had joined up only recently but had proved he had some amazing abilities. They all knew what the government was saying about these infected, but they didn't care. To them, only strength and influence meant anything. After this new recruit had slammed down the wall of a bank, he was taken to be primary member of their group. After having seen him take down the steel reinforced walls, seeing him cause a young man to just go flying back left them dumbfounded.
'How the hell?”
'Did that ugly bastard go easy on him since he looks young?'
'You think he wouldn't kill that guy for fucking with the boss? Dream on.'
