Chapter 137 The Rescue (1/2)

Drako began laughing uncontrollably, seeing the unmoving body of Kyle on the ground, the knife handle sticking out from his chest right where the heart is.

Strangely enough, the laughter became sobs.

Drako's face was now wet with tears which he did not bother to wipe as he got closer to Kyle's body, ”Why? What is this ... pain that I am feeling? What did you do to me, you stupid boy?!”

Drako kicked the still body in frustration, satisfied when there was no reaction or movement from it. He knelt down, staring at the face. Such a young face. Such a peaceful face. If one didn't look at the knife protruding from the chest, one would think that he was merely sleeping.

Drako poked Kyle's forehead, ”Serves you right. I should be happy. I got you...”

Suddenly, his offending finger was gripped tightly and Kyle's eyes opened. Before Drako's mind could process anything, Kyle had pulled him close, pressed some points on Drako's neck. Kyle then grabbed him by the neck, turned around and smashed Drako on the ground.

Kyle quickly got on top of Drako, sitting on his stomach and pressed a few more acupuncture points on his chest and arms. Drako's eyes that had been wide open in shock, slowly closed.

”Get the cleaning crew here quickly,” Kyle said to his earpiece, ”Kay, how long do I have?”

Kyle took out the knife that was seemingly embedded in his chest. There was no blood flow nor any trace of blood on it. Luckily he had already mastered this move. Otherwise, it wouldn't have worked so well.

Team Alex, that had been in the shadows, quickly came out and took in the scene in front of them without blinking an eyelid. Their eyes said Kyle had been stabbed and their brains were screaming that what Kyle was doing is impossible ... but you cannot deny what their eyes were seeing right now.

So, they concentrated on doing their job.When they had first seen Kyle fall, all of them wanted to rush forward and kill the guy. However, Kay had told them to stand down and that Kyle was fine.

Although their eyes showed a different scene, they trusted Kay. So stand down they did.

Though they almost lost it again when Drako went over and kicked Kyle.

”I'm going to cut off that leg ... ” said Yume through gritted teeth.

Alex patted him on the shoulder, ”We all feel the same way, Yume. Just ... be patient.”

”Five minutes, brother,” Kay said, ”Cathy's here too.”

Lucka came over to check up on Kyle. Kyle winced when Lucka examined his chest and pulling up the shirt, saw that it was already beginning to bruise badly from the earlier fight.

”Drako kicks are lethal,” Kyle said nonchalantly, then said to the others, ”Leave Drako in one piece, okay?”

Team Alex grumbled under their breath.

”You shouldn't climb in this condition,” Lucka advised and checked on his ribs, where Drako had kicked just now, ”Your ribs may be cracked as well.”

Kyle shook his head, ”No. Just put Master Shifu's ointment and wrap it up tightly with gauze. I can do it. I've been through worse under him anyway.”

Kyle took off his shirt and let Lucka do his thing while the others cleared the 'crime scene' of any evidence that could lead them to Kyle.

”Secure Drako and bring him to MIB at Master Shifu's place,” Kyle instructed, ”There's something about him that needs checking up on. Ask Master Shifu to take a look.”

Once Lucka wrapped him up tightly, Kyle put back his shirt and dashed off, utilising his full speed and cloaking techniques. When he came nearer to more people and the venue, he slowed down and slipped through the masses to reach where the Elite Five were.

Xing Han screamed when Kyle suddenly appeared next to him.

”Ye Gads, Kyle! Don't DO that! I nearly had a heart attack,” Xing Han said, breathing hard and clutching his chest.

The interest that was garnered by the initial scream faded away when they saw that it was merely a scare prank.

Kyle grinned and flung his hand over Xing Han's shoulder.

Though everyone was smiling, Ali asked worriedly, ”Are you okay, Kyle?”

”Yup, no worries,” Kyle replied, ”My team's turn is next. Celebratory dinner is on me later!”

They watched as Kyle walked off. Again, the guys were flabbergasted.

”So ... the threat?” Sam asked hesitatingly.

”Neutralised,” Kay replied.

”When you say 'neutralised', do you mean ...” Ali began.

Kay interrupted him, jerking her head towards Xing Han as she answered while looking at Ali straight in the eye and without changing expressions, ”Yes.”

”Wow, Kay,” Xing Han said with wide-eyes, ”It's amazing how Team Alex could settle the matter. Save Cathy and Kyle. Those guys didn't have a chance. Did they manage to escape or have the police caught them?”

”Oh, we're not involving the police,” Kay said, ”But rest assured, the guys won't cause anymore trouble.”

Of course, there's still Kazuya to handle. This was just the first step.

Sam watched the exchange in silence. Truth be told, he was shocked at what Kay had stated. After analysing the situation and thinking about it, Sam realised that this was the only way that the matter could be settled.

The people were the Underground, and it was unlikely that the police would do anything either. Getting the police involved wouldn't be a smart move but letting the perpetrators go would only bite them back later.
