“These bastards! Kill theed by Jake’s perforht was ih their opponents had twice asknocked down the last rabbed the enerowled at hiled with us one more time, I’d kill you? I’ll kill you as I promised!”
At Jake’s threat, his opponent started crying
“We… we couldn’t help it There’s been a lot of crackdowns in our area It’s hard to pick pockets now and if you even dig through the trash for food, the guards will pick you up”
“So you started eyeing our territory? You think we’re rich?”
Sniff
“We just want to live Forgive me this one Please…”
Jake stared at his opponent with tre fists
‘dauy was no different than hi he could to survive in this fcking world This was the result The only difference was that he had hile this guy had lost It was a life so terrible that it wouldn’t be strange to die at any round as he shouted at hiht! Don’t ever let ered up and left
“Jake, you’re just going to let the to kill them, you should’ve beaten the”
“No”
“Jake!”
“I said, no! Just leave it alone”
As if irritated, Jake turned around
Jake, he was so famous that all the waifs and strays in the back alleys of the Est the strays, he was soh they were no different than a gutter rat, for the boys, Jake was a strong man who enjoyed a life that was better than theirs
But for Jake, his life was miserable and there was never a day where he was not irritated
“This damn world…”
“Jake, are you in there?”
Soe, but was a grown up When Jake saw hi his expression
“Brother Gale, what can I do for you?”
“Elder brother is looking for you Coain
“Is he raising the payain?”[1]
“What was that you little bastard? You got a complaint?”
“”
“This fcker… control your expressions You want me to remind you about the past?”
TheJake was so his childhood When Jake had been young, he had often suffered froo
“Do it if you can”
“This bastard… he doesn’t even know the debt he owes for raising him…”
Flustered, the man could only stammer
“”
Jake just continued to stand in front of hi to say
Debt for raising him? Bullshi+t
This er brothers brought hi He had also used that anization and even after that, continued to collect money from the boys
There was no reason for Jake to feel indebted In fact, he was even thinking about taking his opportunity to release his past resentments
But…
“A… anyway, I’ve delivered thetrouble if you don’t co trouble if you’re this arrogant next tiht?”
“Ha… you du by using his backer without even fighting
“What… What did you say?”
“piss off”
As if he didn’t want to deal with hilared at Jake’s back as if he wanted to kill him, but he didn’t dare attack Why?
‘XX that bastard’s getting hella[2] big…’
He knew that he could never win
There was a bar called the Drunken Traveler and it was doing pretty well considering that it was a bar in the back alley This was because the owner of this bar had a decent presence in the back alleys of the capital
It ned by a e territory of the capital’s back alley and had a lot of athered the most useful subordinates in his bar Jake was one of them
“So that’s Jake?”
“He still looks like a kid How old is he?”
“I think I heard that he’s 14? Think he’s almost 15”
“He’s a brat?! But he’s already at an executives’ ?”
“If you look at his size, he won’t lose to adults”
Jake heard all the ‘executives’ talking about him behind his back, but he pretended not to hear it
‘These bastards…’
It was obvious that they orried their territory would be taken away since there was a rapidly developing person right after them
‘They’re all pathetic’
Just as he was thinking that, Jake saw souy?’
He had believed that besides himself, everyone else would be adults in this executives’ uy who see to the other executives without any hesitation
“Hahaha… thank you, Sieg I did exactly as you said, and the guards stopped cracking down on us”
“Sieg, I’m in a bit of a bind, too There’s a problem with the bars in my area these days”
Rather than a conversation, it see the cautiously as if to please hiuy?’
That hat Jake thought when he saw Sieg Having lived in the back alleys for a long time, he had seen all kinds of people, but he had never seen hi, “Big brother is co in”
All the noisy executives quickly stood up
And theBrother!”
“Welcoreeted loudly
TheBrother slad all of you caet comfortable”
He sat at the head of the table and spoke to one of his men next to him
“Is anyone not here?”
“No, sir Everyone’s here, Big Brother”
“Good It’s been a while since we all gathered like this I’lad you’re all here”
This man was Chason He was a cruel e portion of the back alleys using fear as a weapon
As a child, Jake had seen Chason execute people The executionthehtened him That childhood trauma became a shackle and even now, it was difficult to et straight to the point Recently, I was asked to do soh up So, you’ll have to work hard”
“What’s the job, Big Brother?”
“Leave it to me”
