F | Chapter 4

A chill ran down Ire’s spine at the voice laced with laughter. The faint smell of alcohol and blood turned his stomach. A sudden, eerie feeling washed over him.d08260537fafcb69

Could I die here today? He didn’t want to die like this. Not out of fear, but because it was embarrassing. Dying to someone he didn’t even know while just keeping watch for some thieves was even worse.b5945b11cc9de50b

The opponent was a147a16936 bigger, making close 5d52f05955 combat unfavorable. He needed to 40f3d5bd8a create some distance, 8c3b31d231 then decide the 5cd82d7bae outcome.

The opponent’s black eyes, shining like the night, were filled with murderous intent. Unlike Ire, who was holding on with all his might, the opponent wore a relaxed smile. But soon, the smile disappeared. His eyes moved slightly down and then up, as if checking something.035eb09945b5bd09

No way. The man added 017ad5759d and relaxed his 12a8aeb011 arms. Taking the chance, b40469bb85 Ire pushed him 304cb125da away and created 8a7b2b0f50 some distance. The man, instead d037e6c12d of attacking, slowly 41f78f95e9 scanned Ire from 1a657be788 top to bottom.

“You won’t believe it, but I’m not with those guys. I just got paid to keep watch. I have no grudge against you, and I won’t tell anyone what I saw tonight. So let’s just part ways without any trouble. There’s nothing to gain from fighting.”652e83b553d9bdcb

The man didn’t respond and took out a cigarette from his pocket. Damn, it’s all wet. He cursed softly, put the cigarette in his mouth, and lit it with a lighter. After a moment, he exhaled a long plume of smoke and tossed an axe in front of Ire.f9bd82c7178b18da

The decision didn’t take long. Ire picked up the axe, gripped the handle tightly, and moved his right shoulder back to loosen his stiff muscles. The man, watching, flicked his cigarette aside and smiled brightly.0b43540f53759326

As Ire swung a e7dd117194 punch, the man grabbed 16e4db8e7e his arm, twisted it, 1703e53108 and struck his face a08b60eeb0 with an elbow. The impact c32d945022 left his 27fb86898d head ringing 92c320eabf and his 857a8728e6 vision blurry. He quickly 38c7725329 assumed a 96bbd42028 defensive stance.

His expression seemed genuinely f59947061e curious, as if asking, 26a125e8f9 Surely, you have one?

Debating whether to attack, Ire eventually gave up and ran away. But no matter how far he ran, he couldn’t sense any pursuit. Throwing away his pride, he quickly hid between buildings.aa1316f213123f06

Catching his breath, he peeked outside to see the approaching car stop. It was a luxury vehicle not seen in this area. Could the police from Zone A have come after hearing about the incident? Damn, they’re not going to pin this on me, are they? They should arrest that guy.77bd701fb5cf204c

Judging by the vehicle and the person who got out, the man seemed to hold a high rank. Is that why he could kill without hesitation? But just because he came from Zone A didn’t mean murder was excusable.39d395f6261398ec
