Bottom A, Top O - Chapter 163
A tattoo of two red skulls facing one another and two guns on their forehead. In the middle of them was a faint straight line.
“Two Suicide Cabeza…” a voice of shock was coming from the crowd. The crowd slowly took a few steps back as though the woman was a monster.
After that, “She deserves it.” Someone said,
“The young man is doing the right thing, I’m not mad at this point.”
“Two Suicide Cabeza, what is their member doing here? Scram!”
The woman shifted her eyes to the side as she felt dejected. Earlier, some people tried to help her but then, they despised her.
It could not be blamed though. It was all true she was a member of Two Suicide Cabeza.
“Okay, then it’s decided,” said Narukami abruptly as he clapped his hand as hard as he could.
Clap!
What he was doing attracted everyone’s attention and so, after getting it. Narukami said, “As everyone can see, she’s a member of a dangerous gang and it is certain she had done many crimes before. It would be unfair and selfish if I saved her because she’s someone in need while ignoring her past actions.”
Narukami paused for a second as he observed everyone’s expression. They appeared to be curious and a bit anticipated about what Narukami was planning.
This is human, Narukami said to himself as he thought of something and felt a certain sense of irony.
It was a mystery what Narukami had in his mind.
“How about this, if you let this woman naked for five minutes. You will let her go and you must not break your promise. If you did, I also have to punish you for killing an innocent,” explained Narukami with a bit of a threat at the end. After he explained, he pointed his finger at the dead man on the ground. It was the person who defended the woman and tried to stop the young man.
“That’s not fair! That woman deserves to die! My cousin suffers a lot from Two Suicide Cabeza and he commits suicide!”
“That is right! That woman is dangerous! The fact she’s here, she is probably planning something evil to this city! Maybe most members of Two Suicide Cabeza had already gathered!”
The crowd could not accept Narukami’s words. How could they? Two Suicide Cabeza have snatched their loved ones and possibly brought immense danger to the city they loved!
Although New York City was in a war between two mafia families, it barely affected their lives. It did though only to those who lived in dangerous areas of New York City.
“Everyone, I know how you feel but the person had already spoken. It can’t be you’re going to take back what you said, right?” Narukami asked as he looked at the young man. His eyes were sharp and the young man felt chilled he never sensed before.
He vigorously nodded, “I will not!”
Narukami slightly nodded and turned his head to the woman.
“What are you gonna do? Get naked in public or die?” Asked Narukami calmly.
“Fine, I’ll do it,” exclaimed the woman as she got up from the ground. Her eyes were filled with determination. She responded without hesitation.
As long as there was an opportunity to stay alive, she would do anything.
Narukami gazed at the young man, “that’s what she said.”
The young man processed what happened. A few moments later, the edge of his lips slowly curved upward as he smiled.
The woman took her clothes off with a complicated look on her face. She was embarrassed and her pride as a human being felt like being crushed.
This feeling is perhaps worse than death. After taking off her upper part, which was a long brown robe with a white shirt underneath it. She removed her short jeans which covered her knees.
With two things left, one covering her chest and another one between her legs. She hesitated to take the last two fabrics covering her body.
She had done many things out of the ordinary. She did so because her mental fortitude could handle it but naked in public? It was a whole different story.
The public, male especially, were looking forward and the stick between their legs was rising.
The women could only sympathize with her. Some wanted to step in and stop this inhumane scene but they dared not.
One, just like Narukami had said. She had done many terrible things.
Second, they did not have any relation to the woman and living in this city for too long kind of killed their initiative to help people, especially so to a stranger which involved in crime.
After taking her clothes off, she stared daggers at the young man as she covered her two important parts with her hands. Her chest and between her legs.
“I’ll make you pay for what you’ve done,” expressed the woman as she threatened him.
“Is that a good thing to say?” One of the people in the crowd pondered and considered her as a fool for saying that.
It would be wise if she just did it without saying a word, as it was preventing the young man from being infuriated.
“Ahaha, as expected of a gang member. You’re bold and daring, no wonder you can last long in the crime world.” Chuckled the young man. This surprised the crowds. He did not get angry? What was going on?
“Dance and let out noises that a monkey makes,” ordered the young man.
The woman hesitated yet she had no choice. Her life was in his hands and he could end it anytime he wanted.
It was a shot in the head and there was a hole on her forehead. Blood splashed the surroundings. She died with an expression that probably made others have a nightmare for the next few nights. Which was an expression of disbelief and shock.
Narukami could have saved the woman but he chose not. It was not his business to save her nor did he care.
He was involved as he was a bit interested in how things would go but it went more than he expected. The woman died in someone else’s hands.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Narukami asked.
“I said I won’t kill her but that does not mean someone else cannot,” said the young man in a relaxed manner with a devil’s smile.
Narukami did not utter a sound but he did exude a faint sigh.
“You’re done, right? Go sleep,” said Narukami as he approached the young man and touched the young man’s shoulder.
In the next moment, he shouted in pain as his eyes rolled back. He felt the sensation of being burnt and at the same time, he felt electric particles were ravaging his body and making chaos in it.
His organs jumbled like crazy and he felt like his heart was about to stop at any second.
“Aaaaaa!” His shout was getting louder and Narukami knew he had done enough. He retracted his hand from his shoulder and walked away.
The young man collapsed with a heavy thud. Dark smoke came out of his body as his mouth filled with foam.
The crowd was baffled and terrified.
“Call the cops. What are you waiting for?” Said Narukami with a flat tone. After that, someone instantly fished out their phone and called the cops.
“Hello, 911…”
Narukami did not bother to listen. He also did not care about the person who shot the woman. He was not a hero of justice and that woman, from his perspective, deserved it.
He sat at the nearest seat and watched Jim who was still looking at his phone.
Yup, he did not realize anything at all regarding the event that took place right now.
This was because Narukami put an illusion on him. From his point of view, everything was fine and no accidents were happening. Just a train operating like any other day.
A few minutes later, the train came to a halt and a few people left the train rather gloomily and quite tense. Not long after, cops in black vests equipped with firearms came in a flock and neatly ordered as they rushed in.
The atmosphere became twice as intense. Most people chose to leave the train and change to a cab or probably u*er. New Yorkers were busy people, after all. They did not have time to linger around on something which had nothing to do with them.
People who were saving their money had to wait as the train operation was stopped for the police to do an investigation.
It should take fifteen minutes or so but it’s worth it rather than wasting extra money. Late for work? They take a picture and send it to their boss.
People who saw the scene closest were asked a bunch of questions and then they could leave.
Coincidentally, this stop was Jim’s stop and he left without much thinking. He was curious why there were cops in black vests but did not think much.
After that, nothing strange happened. They went to a deserted location, an abandoned port.
Night had already arrived a long time ago.
