Bottom A, Top O - Chapter 149

“Who are you?” The little dude asked as he and some of the boys in the group circled Narukami. All exceptions for the strategist guy. He frowned.

Narukami slowly scanned them.

“Hey, are your ears still working?” The little dude approached Narukami as he talked in front of his face. Saliva spurted out purposely as it hit Narukami’s face.

“Give me money and I’ll let you guys go for good,” said Narukami. He was short on money.

There was another way to exploit these guys but Narukami did not want to go through that trouble.

“Ahaha!”

Hearing his words, all the guys laughed. The little dude laughed the loudest as his mouth was wide open.

A few seconds later, he stopped laughing as his expression turned solemn and eyes as sharp as an eagle.

“I don’t know who you are but leave this place with your money before things get messy,” threatened the little dude.

As he was shorter than Narukami, he had to look up whereas Narukami looked down with his calm expression.

Seeing his facial expression did not budge, the little guy slightly panicked inside.

“…Fine,” responded Narukami. Jim was confused when he heard that. He slightly frowned.

The little dude silently heaved a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that his little acting work and Narukami were terrified by it.

Terrified by it… Yeah, looking at Narukami’s expression again, the little guy was unsure.

“Sorry, I don’t have it,” said Narukami as he let out his hands from the pocket and shrugged.

Just as the little dude was about to utter a sound. He suddenly went flying as he groaned in pain and crashed into the wall! A loud thud entered everyone’s ears, the building slightly shook. Dust filled the air.

Everyone was baffled and extremely lost by what had just happened.

However, after retracting their gaze to the little dude’s position. They immediately knew what’s up as they saw Narukami standing there with one of his legs raised in the air as if he just kicked someone.

No, not as if, he already did!

One of them got attacked. They would no longer be a man should they not attack again! Eye for an eye, fist for a fist but Narukami just kicked the little fella yet he got punched, which he dodged easily.

Narukami’s movements were terrifyingly quick as he dodge everyone’s attack in fluid motion as he left after images and particles of dust began to fill up the air.

One moment Narukami appeared in front of them and as one of them landed a punch, Narukami disappeared.

“Damn! What is he? How come a human can be this fast?” One of them asked as they were shocked and felt like seeing something coming out of the movies.

After they said that, Narukami appeared behind them and slapped the back of his neck. Narukami expected that the man fell unconscious but Narukami accidentally put in a bit more effort.

Cause of it, the man’s head got separated from the body. Blood gushed out like a fountain as red flowers painted the floor rather beautifully, depending on point of view, of course.

Jim was stricken with horror as he saw the scene. He took a peek as he was curious how strong Narukami was but he did not expect him to kill a person!

“I put in a bit too much effort,” said Narukami calmly.

However, that sounds horrifying to the others. The fact he was quite calm meant he had killed a lot of people like an ant.

Their lives were not even worth mentioning and as light as feathers.

“Oh whatever, you guys deserve it. Enmity should be paid ten times over, no?” Narukami asked. His response was silence and then, the headless body plop to the ground with a heavy thud.

Everyone came to their senses from shock and realized the true horror, which was they might be next!

With that in mind, they flee as they scatter. Some were so afraid that they would go as far as jumping out through the window. However, did they truly think Narukami was going to let a fish escape the net?

The answer was obvious as Narukami appeared before them and kicked their abdomen. They went flying as their body curved like shrimp and traversed to the other side of the building, landing on the ground as they rolled with a bounce. Making a trail of dust along the way before stopping.

The same goes for those who want to get away through the window. Some, however, did not have a good end as they landed on a bad spot.

One guy hit a rusty steel rod leaking out of a worn-out pillar which crumbled from age. Cracks could be seen.

As the guy’s head hit the steel rod, he died instantly without letting out a scream. Only a terrified expression carved on his face.

It made others shiver just looking at it.

His friends did not care for his death as every man for themselves.

“Pathetic,” said Narukami as he was disgusted at the sight. He then proceeded to take care of the remaining and it only took a few seconds.

Corpses were scattered on the floor. The thick scent of blood lingered. One could even see the faint, red mist.

In the middle of this slaughter, Narukami was standing with empty eyes as he watched the last target struggle for his life. It was a black man wearing a white jacket with words on it.

It was stained with blood and dirt.

His struggle was futile as a long steel rod had penetrated his belly. He could not pull it out and at the same time, blood was coming out.

“Why? I don’t even do anything to her. I try to stop them but I can’t,” said the guy weakly as blood came out of his mouth, flowing down to his chin.

Narukami looked at him with no emotion.

“Why did you not stop them?” Narukami asked.

“Because I can’t. I am weak and stupid. Do you know how tough it is to live in this neighborhood? All of my life I know nothing but to follow those around me.

“But then I realized it’s wrong. Please, give mercy to me. I don’t want to die, please. I beg of you, please.” The guy begged yet Narukami simply watch him without saying a word.

Knowing Narukami ignored his plea, the guy resigned to his fate. He had no hate for Narukami, the guy who killed him.

Perhaps this was how it was supposed to end. Even if he hated Narukami, would that solve the problem either?

“Damn it…” the guy hated himself instead. As he was a coward and weak. If not for that, his place might not be down here but somewhere better.

However, there were no ifs in this situation. His end was obvious. His vision was getting darker as his eyelids slowly closed.

He felt like his energy gradually ran out as he was getting weaker. His breath was slower and slower as time passed.

In his dying moment, there was nothing that came into his mind. He had no friends, family, siblings, or a lover. At that moment, he realized he was all alone.

His heart winced and was filled with regret. There were also a lot of things he wanted to do yet how did he end up like this? Why did he become a gang member?

“Do you want to live?” Narukami suddenly asked. The guy opened his eyes as he quickly replied.

“Yes! I want to live!”

In the next moment, Narukami bit his thumb and let the guy drink his blood. However, just as Narukami was about to make him do so by moving his thumb closer. The guy refused as he shook his head and like a magnet meeting the like poles, he backed away as though to repel.

He’s not drinking a man’s blood! It’s disgusting!

“Don’t you want to live?” Narukami pondered. The man glanced at Narukami in doubt before looking back at the blood on his thumb.

“So if I drink your blood, I’ll live?” The guy asked.

“Yes, we don’t have time to waste. Your blood is running out,” replied Narukami.

“Can’t you just pull out the steel bar instead? It’s painful!” The guy suggested.

“If I did, you’ll run out of blood before you even drink mine. It’s your choice, honestly. Do you want to live, or you don’t want to? Then let me ask for the third time,” Narukami narrowed his eyes as he asked again.

The guy hesitated as he did not believe something like drinking blood would bring him back to normal but seeing Narukami’s abnormal speed, it would be safe to assume he was not normal.

Even further, the guy did not get hurt either so it was safe to try, right?

Following this line of thought, the guy was convinced to do what Narukami said.

He nodded, “okay.”

“Open your mouth, then. I’m not going to let my thumb enter a dude’s mouth!” Narukami said. The man paused as lewd thoughts appeared for a short moment.

Does this mean he’ll do it if it’s a woman? The guy probably thought.

Without commenting, the guy opened his mouth. Narukami moved his thumb precisely above his mouth.

Later, Narukami waited for a drop of his blood to fall and after it did, the guy swallowed it as he felt disgusted.

Not long after, Narukami grabbed the steel rod embedded in his belly and removed it. After that, blood vigorously spurted out and the guy shrieked in pain.

“What the f*** man?! Are you saving me or not?” The guy complained as he placed his hand on his belly, as he wanted to stop it.

However, prior to that.. The wound closed on its own at a visible speed.
