Chapter 209: Hans the Snake (2/2)
The car then starts moving, it travels through the night street steadily.
Based on the map on Edward's phone, the place should be 5 miles away from the train station right beside a nightclub called Paradise.
They will be meeting with the Atkins in an abandoned building right across from the nightclub.
Nearing the destination, the taxi driver then said, ”Are you going to the nightclub?”
”No sir, I'm just going to meet my friends there to give them something”, Edward replied nonchalantly, he's too busy looking around.
But his mind is a little bit at ease with Kyran beside him,
Kyran's senses are so sharp that no one in Edward's entire life can match him, his senses are overwhelmingly sensitive.
Hearing this, ”Don't go to that club, many thugs and local criminals go there”, the driver added.
”Don't worry sir, I won't go there”, Edward replied with a smile.
Along the ride, Kyran is silent and he seems to be in a bad mood and Edward completely understands his mood.
Kyran is still a kid, and he's dealing with his first love so Edward can understand.
They then reach the place the map on Edward's phone stated, Edward and Kyran, walks out of the taxi before Edward goes to the front window, ”Sir, Can you wait because I won't be long”
The taxi looks around nervously, there are many groups of thugs holding weapons.
Edward notices this too, he then sighs, ”Thanks for the ride sir, I hope you get home safely”, he said while giving the money.
After getting the money, the taxi driver apologize and left.
”Why do they have to ask for a meeting in this kind of place, it'll be nice if we can talk in a fancy hotel”, Edward mumbles.
He then looks to the surroundings and finds a back-alley in the corner,
Edward looks at Kyran before Kyran nodded his head, it seems he already sense someone is in the back alley.
But then,
Just as he wanted to go to the back alley, a voice called out to him, ”Hey you there! Come here!”
Edward signals to Kyran to not pay it any mind, but Kyran is clearly annoyed.
”Hey, you fucking kids!! Boss is asking for you!!”, another voice can be heard from the back.
Looking at Edward and Kyran who ignore them as if they're ants, the thugs walk over to them before they blocked their path, ”I'm talking to you!”
Edward looks at the thugs with a stoic expression, three thugs wearing haggard hoodies are the ones who stopped them.
”I ignore you two times, I'm sure it means fuck off before I beat you guys up”, Edward said coldly.
This makes the three thugs aghast, ”What the fuck did you say, kid?!”
”Kids these days, they don't know how to behave properly”, another added.
But just after they said that Kyran's eyes sparked with violence as he glared at the three thugs.
This makes the three thugs unconsciously step back, Kyran's glare completely alerts all of their senses telling them to run.
They stepped back in fear as they realized Edward and Kyran were not normal,
”He told you to fuck off. Now that you're still here, I'll beat you up”, Kyran said coldly.
BAM!
BAM!
CRASH!!
Kyran punched two thugs straight in the face sending them crashing away,
The two thugs hit the nightclub wall right beside their so-called boss who's hands started to tremble, he just lit his cigarette before this happened.
With his cold look, Kyran walks to the last one calmly.
This scene greatly shocks Edward, Kyran is simply too ruthless.
”Kyran that's enough, we have something to do”, Edward commanded.
Hearing this, Kyran stopped but then he said, ”Rex once said that some people can't change, and these guys surely won't”
Edward widened his eyes in shock, he can't believe what he's hearing.
Kyran then grabs the last thugs on the neck before he twists it coldly,
Crack!
A cracking sound can be heard as the thug's neck breaks,
There's no remorse in Kyran's eyes as he killed another thug, it's like he's a different person compared to he was before.
After killing the thugs that were messing with them, Kyran started to walk towards the boss.
The boss's body started to tremble in fear, he didn't expect a strong human to be in this kind of place that is closer to a shithole.
He just regretted telling his goon to mess with Kyran and Edward,
Kyran stopped right in front of the boss, He look at the boss straight in the eyes for five seconds that felt like an eternity.
He raises his hand making the boss close his eyes in fear, But then,
Grab!
”Stop it, they're normal people so it's not right to kill them over these small matters”, Edward grab Kyran's arm stopping him.
He frowns when he felt that Kyran's strength is stronger than before,
After glaring at the boss straight in the eyes for a couple more seconds, Kyran pulls his hand and walks towards the back alley.
Edward sigh seeing Kyran's behavior, he then glances at the boss.
”I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you”, the boss plead as tears fall down his cheek.
Looking at the boss's pathetic look,
Edward raises his hand making the boss close his eyes in fright, but instead of hitting him,
Tsss...
The cigarette between the boss's lips suddenly turns to ash with a touch of Edward's hand, and after doing that Edward looks to his back and saw Kyran is already in front of the back alley.
He then turns his body and goes to the back alley leaving the boss dumbfounded.
At the back alley,
”You're late”, a man said right after Edward and Kyran came to the back alley.
Hearing this, Edward didn't respond as he takes out the spellbook and throws it at the man.
He then signals to Kyran to leave but the man suddenly said, ”Are you sure this is the right one? Not just a fake copy?”
”You can check it yourself”, Edward said coldly.
The man then chuckles lightly, he's wearing a mask and a hood so Edward can't see his face, not even his eyes.
Kyran is leaning on the wall without caring about their conversation,
But then, the man opened his hood revealing his snake-like eyes.
Upon seeing the man's snake-like eyes, Edward's body went stiff.
Rex has a problem with the Atkins and Reed Family, and because of that Edward also researches the two families and remember their core members.
And the one that he remembers the most is this guy, Hans from the Atkins Family.
He's the right-hand of Wesley Atkins that always becomes the representative of the Atkins Family if Wesley is not around, he's also known to be vicious and evil.
Although it's not publicized, Edward also finds his nickname given by the other 25 families.
Hans the Snake,
So seeing this important guy here makes Edward alert.
Kyran notice Edward's stiff body as he too prepares himself,
Hans flip through the book playfully before a smile appeared on his face, ”Pleasure doing business with you”, he said while stretching his hand out.
Looking at this, Edward hesitated for a moment.
But then, he eventually approaches Hans and shakes his hand.
After shaking his hand, Edward wants to pull his hand back but frowns when Hans holds his hand tight.
Edward looks at Hans with a questioning look,
Kyran is already alert, his eyes are gazing at the surrounding trying to sense an ambush.
Edward and Hans' eyes meet for a couple of seconds and the pressure Hans emitted is overwhelming, but surprisingly Hans lets go of Edward's hand.
He looks at Hans with a frown while he rubs his throbbing hands, he then left the place with Kyran following him.
Although they turn their backs, they're still alert.
They didn't believe Hans at all, they're on guard until they left the back alley.
Unknown to Edward and Kyran, Hans is smiling evilly on the back as he looks at both of them leaving.
