Chapter 144: Internal Tension (1/2)

Kyran held a dagger on the fat man's neck, his movement was quick making the fat man unable to react to him.

His eyes are sharp, he glances at the plate in front of the fat man before his expression changed.

The food that the fat man eats turns out to be the corpse they threw earlier, it's already cut into small pieces and it's a strain for untrained eyes.

Kyran looks away before he grabs the fat man's neck and threw him to the side.

BRAK!!

The fat man got smashed into the wall heavily, his belly wobble left and right as he sits helplessly on the ground.

Kyran's body boils in anger, he can't believe the guy in front of him.

For another human being to eat another human is simply sick, Kyran can't believe that this kind of thing happened under the authority's nose.

He then looks at the fat man with a disgusted expression, ”Talk”

BAM!

Kyran stepped on the fat man's neck pinning him down as his cold eyes look at him, ”Who are you and what is your position in the Platchi Family?”

Hearing this, the fat man simply gazed at Kyran in panic.

”I...Uh...”, the fat man stutters, his eyes then darted to Kyran's back in panic.

Seeing this, Kyran immediately ducked when he fell that someone trying to hit him from the back.

SWOOSH!

BRAK!

The wooden furniture around got smashed by a metal bat,  A guy missed Kyran as he stumbles forward.

Kyran rolls to the side and looks at the guy.

He also saw the fat man throwing up on the ground, the human remains he ate started to come out of his mouth.

'Did he got forced eating this?', Kyran thought.

But then, his train of thoughts got stopped abruptly when he saw the guy already coming at him with a metal bat in hand.

The guy's body glows with a red hue, it was evident that he's also an Awakened.

Kyran grabbed the guy's wrist before he twists it to the side, his small figure is contrasting with the monstrous strength that he got from turning into a Werewolf.

The guy widened his eyes in surprise as he got slammed to the ground.

But during this moment, the guy manages to hit Kyran's leg and making him also fall to the ground with him.

BAM!

Both of them started to struggles on the ground.

Kyran is trying to stab the guy with his dagger while the guy desperately holds onto Kyran's hand trying to prevent Kyran from stabbing him.

They both roll on the ground trying to get the upper hand.

After struggling because of their even strength, Kyran manages to catch the guy by surprise and stabbed him in the chest.

”ARGHH!”, the guy shouted in pain.

Kyran quickly covers the guy's mouth as he stabs the guy again ending his life.

He then falls to the ground with heavy breaths, the guy is also has a peak rank three power making their fight event.

Thankfully, although the guy is an Awakened he didn't use spells.

Kyran felt lucky because the guy is afraid to make a scene and put the authority's eyes onto them, it will be disastrous for the market.

After calming himself down, Kyran glance at the fat man.

The fat man is still vomiting, red puddles started to be made in front of him.

Kyran stands up before he grabs the fat man's collar, ”Answer my question now, don't make me kill you”

Seeing the dead guy on the floor,

The fat man then said, ”I'm a nobody, the Platchi punished me by making me do this because I took $1,000 from their warehouse”

Hearing this, Kyran widened his eyes.

He's shocked at how cruel the Platchi's done their thing, it is simply inhumane forcing someone to eat another human being.

Although the guy is in the wrong, it's still wrong to do this.

Kyran then grabbed the fat man's collar again, ”Is there another exit aside from the front door?”, he asked.

”I don't know”, the fat man said.

Getting no answer from the fat man, Kyran then looks around.

He can't find anything aside from this place that is used for the fat man's punishment, the other room is empty.

After finding nothing, he then decided to take a gamble.

”This should be the other side”, Kyran thought, he positioned his fist before punching the wall to create a hole for them.

Crash!!

Kyran tries to create the hole as silent as possible.

He manages to create a wall but he doesn't know if the guards heard him, he then grabs the fat man and left the place.

Not long after, the guard went inside.

He saw what happened inside before they contacted the others to report to them what just happened here.

Kyran on the other hand is already back at the rooftop.

He's surprised that the dark power that he somehow got can be used on others too, the fat man got blended in the dark by his power.

The guard can be seen looking around the streets trying to find the fat man.

”Guide me to their warehouse”, Kyran ordered as he packs his stuff, he takes back all the traps he set up and put them in a black bag.

The fat man looks at him and said, ”You sound young, are you a prodigy from the other families?”

Hearing this, Kyran didn't answer.

”Guide me to their warehouse”, he said again completely ignoring the fat man's remark.

Knowing that Kyran is not answering him, the fat man then nodded his head before he guides Kyran to the warehouse.

Both of them dashes in the night like a shadow.

Kyran is carrying the fat man while jumping through buildings, he needs to be wary to not get spotted by the police around or even other Awakened.

It's the rule here to not use powers in public places.

After about twenty minutes of jumping through buildings silently, both of them finally arrive in a place that is quite far from the public district.

This place is only filled with factories for bussineses.

Some factory workers are still working to give food to their families by arriving early.

Kyran then arrives in a factory that is completely dark, it looks like the factory is not operating yet because it's almost morning.
