Chapter 86 - 86. Blood Trail (2/2)
Mack lightly landed on the top of a building.
He came to this city only a few times in his life, and all the times, Mack avoided any camera or thing that could leave a trail about him.
Even his voice, Mack avoided talking in any circumstances. One time, he even pretended to be a mute when he had to talk with a local to get some food.
But this time, Mack would do the exact opposite of that.
He first had to attract those people here.
He would leave one very noticeable trail about his presence here.
He would get himself jailed.
'There is no way for them to not come here.'
Thought Mack. For him, the plan was very simple and straightforward.
There was nothing that could go wrong.
Mack kept running or avoiding cops all his life. He knew everything that someone could possibly know to be unnoticeable.
”And here I'm now. Wishing to go to the jail”
Mack looked below the building he was and saw a dark alley with a few homeless guys sleeping.
Mack jumped from the building and kicked both his boots together.
The boots started to work, and Mack slowly fell to the ground.
~tap~
~tap~
Even the homeless guy a few steps from where Mack landed didn't wake up.
Walking by the streets, Mack finally could feel some kind of freedom. Maybe because he was back at Earth and didn't need to run or hide.
But many people kept glaring at Mack, no matter where he went, people kept giving odd glares at Mack as if he was an alien or some clown.
One guy even pointed his hand at him and started murmuring something under his breath while shaking his head.
Mack almost chose that guy for a beating.
”Why they keep glaring at me?”
[Maybe because you are using a cape, or maybe it's because of the two swords?]
Mack slapped his own face.
”I was so eager to come that I even forgot about changing clothes! such a morron!”
[I think.... it's definitely because of the red eyes. Yes.]
”Shut up, old man!”
Screamed Mack in the middle of the street, and with that a lot of people passing by quickly turned ways to avoid him.
[hahhahahha Now you scared them even more]
Before Mack could even blink, he saw someone holding a smartphone and taking pictures of him.
'Do they think I'm doing some kind of cosplay?'
Asked himself Mack, seeing more people by the corner of his eyes doing the same while he walked by.
[What is cosplay kid?]
'It's when you use a costume of some hero from animes or movies'
[Oh, like Halloween?]
'How do you know about that, old man?'
Thought Mack, while posing for a picture that someone was taking.
[Are not you going to kill or rob someone to go to the jail? What are you doing?]
”Nah, I just found a better way to do that, hahhahahah”
Laughed Mack, thinking that society was really doomed if some aliens popped in like him in the middle of streets.
Mack grabbed his two swords and made a cross in the air and soon enough a dozen of people were taking pictures of him.
Mack stopped by the side, thinking that this should be enough to attract those mages to the city and was about to find a place to sit and just wait when someone threw a few coins to his feet.
Mack looked below, but before he could even raise his head, more coins came.
”Thinking again..... It's been a long, long time without a burger.”
And with that, the strongest men on Earth became a beggar.
[Second strongest]
