Naruto In The World Of Beautiful Ceo - Chapter 59 Go Ape!
Inside an abandoned house, four people gathered around a wooden table. Their appearance differed from each other but share the same theme, messy and dingy. Each of them held a group of cards and scruples of money laid on the top of the table. A small plate sprinkled with scattered ash lingered within their arm’s reach.
“Haha, I’m gonna win big again!” A man clad in a leather jacket with a wooly neck showed his big grin.
“Bullshit, your luck won’t stay good forever!” A man in a jumper spat his curse. The other two who one had a bald head and another with a brown bandage on his nose expressed their own discontent.
“Shut your hole, feast your eyes with this!” The leather jacket Man snorted, he put down his card and shocked filled the other’s faces as three 5s and two 7s beat their eyes.
“Motherfucker, fullhouse!” The baldy slammed his cards with an ugly face. The jumper man also twitched his lips and gave up his card.
“Haha, all mine, all mine!” He reached out his hand and grabbed the shabby-looking cash, but at this moment, like a lion pounced on a cheetah which lunged at a flock of sheep, someone grasped his hand.
“Ufufufu~” The bandaged man decline his head, his shaggy hairstyle over-shadowed his expression.
“You, what are you doing?! Let go my hand!” He widened his eyes as the other two also stared at the bandaged man with surprised eyes.
“Your days of reign had finished! I’m the new king in town!” He laughed arrogantly, scaring the citizen of cockroaches who crawled in the corner.
“Impossible!” Their face looked at him with disbelieve, the man stood from his soon-to-be-broken chair, his raised the cards on his right hand, the only source of the lights in the house shone on the cards, blinding the eyes of the three peasants as they witness the born of the new king, the bandaged man brought down his hand and slapped the table with his cards, creating a non-existent shockwave that imaginarily shook the entire structure.
The light dispersed and revelation downed upon these mortals.
Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and… 10? Seriously? A fucking royal straight flush?!
“My king!” They all stood from the chair and kneel in front of the man.
“Haha, very good my loyal subject, as long I sat on the throne, I shall bring prosperity into our kingdom, and we will rule all over the world!” His figure struck with dazing ray, exposing his golden brilliance into their eyes.
“Long live my king! Long live my king! Long live my king!”
Hearing the cheer from his citizen, the man sat back on his chair, his dream finally complete, after a long struggle in a path of hardship, fought against other competitors to win the throne, traverse a road full of rock and nail, leaving behind a village girl who drenched her smooth cheek with tears of sorrow, he… finally succeed…
“Father, mother, your son, finally become a king, Anna… my queen…” Eyes welled up as the man bit his lips.
“Man, you really have some luck!”
His imagination shattered in the instant, like a fragment of glass, shedding their pieces, one by one. He shook his head and watched the three-man slumped on their chair with a bitter expression. Laughing his ass off, the bandaged man stretched his arm and grabbed the money.
“We play again?” The jumper man looked at his phone.
“Nah, I’m tired, besides, they should have arrived at any moment now,” the leather jacket man straightened his back as he raised his right arm.
As if hearing his words as a cue, a car parked right outside their place, its harsh brake sounds entered their hearing sense. At this moment, they dispersed from the table and one of them carry a wooden chair toward the center of the room, right under a hanging bulb. The warehouse’s door pushed open and revealed a man in his twenty clad in a long-sleeve black shirt. Behind him, another man slightly shorter than him carried someone on his shoulder, he wore a black hoodie and leather pants. They strode toward the room and the hoodie man placed the person on the chair previously positioned. He walked toward the back of the chair, grabbed the person’s hand before he fished out a green rope from his hoodie’s pocket and tied the person’s hand into the chair, he did the same with the person’s another hand and his both ankles.
That person turned out to be a young man with office suits and blonde hair.
“No one follows you right?” The leather jacket man ignited his smoke.
The black shirt man nodded, “it’s clear.”
“Good, let’s started,” he strolled toward the blonde, inhaled the short stick between his lips before he pulled it out and clashed its pointy red toward the blonde’s neck.
“ARGHH!” The man jolted awake as a smoke trailed from his neck.
*Pa!*
The leather jacket man slapped his face immediately, startled the blonde as his eyes wandered around the room, “W-where am I?” There’s a trace of fear reflected on that pair of cerulean eyes.
“Nowhere,” the leather jacket man smiled faintly.
“W-who are you people? Why brought me here? I-I’m telling you I don’t have money, I can’t even pay my bills, wait… don’t tell you are an organ harvester?! Please, please don’t take away my kidney, or my heart, or my brain, or…”
*Pa!*
The leather jacket man struck the blonde’s cheek with his palm, he almost fell from the chair if not for his limbs tied around it, “calm down Naruto, we just met a week ago, how can you already forget about me?”
“Um?” Naruto recovered from the blow, his eyes set on the short hair person in front of him, “who are you?”
He twitched his lips, “it’s me, Hairy Ball.”
“Hairy Ball?” Naruto frowned then he glanced at his face, “that’s an odd name, do your parent high went their deciding your name? Or do they hope you’ll turn into an ape someday?”
“That’s none of your business!” He gritted his teeth, “talk nonsense again, I’ll break your teeth.”
Naruto lazily looked around, his eyes observed every person in the room; their clothes, the size of their figure, their foothold, which hand held a cigarette, the cold and sneering expression they wore. He looked back at Hairy, curling his lips, “You’re the boss…”
Hairy Ball took a deep breath, “good, be obedient and we won’t hurt you…”
Naruto faced him with his everlasting deadpan expression. Ignoring his lack of response, Hairy Ball grabbed another chair and sat on it with the backrest on his chest, “we know about your conflict with miss Lin.
Its sucks weren’t it, when you married a woman as cold as her, treating you like a piece of shit, giving you her cold shoulder and not even letting you near her bed.
You fought for her, hell even killed for her, yet what does she give you?
She even failed to buy you a proper item of your desire, what a great disappointment.”
A chuckle breeze through Naruto’s mouth, “you talk like you know her.”
“Oh, believe me, I’ve seen women like her…” Hairy Ball sneered, “a pompous and self-centered bitch who thought this society must bow underneath her feet. They only care about themselves, always looked down upon people and a cold-hearted whore.
They thought their wealth last forever and they’ll swim in the golden ocean for eternity.
But the moment those paradises and comfortable lives are gone, they chase anyone who carries a bag of golds, no matter old or young, they seek for their protection by grabbing their thigh and willing to do anything so long that life return to them.
That’s how they are, and Ms. Lin is not any different.”
Naruto looked at him with a sad face, his eyes became watery, “I could feel your pain.”
Hairy Ball wrinkled his eyebrows, “what do you mean?”
Naruto snuffled, snot even dripped from his nose, “a lowly person like you who possess no single good qualities; your face is ugly, your odor is stinky, your skin is creepy, your cloth is shady, your name even laughably stupid, huh, not to mention any ojou-sama, even any poor girl will stay their distance from you, oh… truly painful.”
*Bang!*
Hairy Ball threw away the chair to the side, he pranced toward Naruto with a clenched fist, “you insult me one time again…”
“Woah, about to go ape on me, eh? Chill your Boots, Georgie,” a sneer pulled the corner of his lips.
“Bastard!” Hairy Ball let out a roar and strode toward Naruto with his arm already bent in the air. His fist launched and struck his target right on his nose, it rung out a dull sound into anyone ears. His breath heaved as red flushed his skin. Red vein spread within his eyes.
“Pathetic…” A male’s relax voice sounded in the room.
Behind Hairy Ball’s fist, Naruto’s face looked the same as always, no pain reflected as if the hand inflicted nothing on his face.
Everyone eyes widened in surprise, they knew Hairy Ball’s prowess, he even fought a boxer once and managed to knock him down. In fist to fist combat, they held no doubt in the power within his fist.
Hairy Ball took back his fist and dumbfounded at the result.
“What’s wrong? One attack and you lost your juice already? Wow, you suck waaay too much,” Naruto sneered.
“You shut up…”
“Maybe you should eat your banana? Or you friend banana? Maybe Xu Zhihong banana? He probably loves shoving it inside your throat.”
“Shut the fuck up!” Hairy Ball left leg stomped on the ground and he lashed out his fist on Naruto. He hit his face on and on but Naruto not even once flinched. Hairy Ball strength rose in accordance with his punch, the wooden chair under Naruto started rocking back and forth. At last, he pulled his hand quite far before ejected it forward and sprung at Naruto’s face. It let out a loud sound and the force propelled Naruto’s body backward along with his chair. Naruto put all of his body weight into the chair and…
*Bam!*
It broke in the instant.
By the time everyone noticed, Naruto already rolled backward and crouched before he slowly rose. He wiped the dirt from his shoulder before throwing a smirk toward the 4 people in front of him and another 2 on his back, “so, gentleman, shall we?”
“Get him!”
They all moved from their spot and rushed toward him, the baldy behind his right shoulder arrived first and aimed his fist toward his target’s back head. Naruto leaned slightly toward his left and the baldy’s fist went beside his right ear, Naruto hooked his right arm vertically and jabbed the man’s arm, propelled it upward and made the baldy retreated.
The jumper man from his northwest whipped his right leg and Naruto blocked it by kicking the attacker’s shin with his feet. The bandaged man came from his northeast and tried to hook punch him in the face, Naruto parried it with his right fist and lashed out his left fist on his enemy left rib, he hit it twice before proceeded to grab the bandaged man’s fist. Naruto moved his left elbow and struck the hoodie man’s tummy behind him then pulled the bandaged man’s fist which launched forward and assaulted the hoodie’s man face while the same time Naruto lowered his body and smashed the bandage’s tummy with his right elbow.
Without enough time to breath, a black shirt man arrived before Naruto and swung his right arm, Naruto swayed to his left and declined his head, avoiding the man’s strike as Naruto hammered his right fist on the man’s side left knee, making him kneel sideway and Naruto grabbed the man’s forehead with his left hand and slammed him to ground, knocking him out.
less than a second, Hairy Ball moved forward and jabbed Naruto’s chest, it managed to push Naruto backward slightly before Naruto clutched his right hand, he whipped his right elbow toward Hairy Ball’s face then Naruto snapped his right arm bone.
“Argghhh!”
A cracking sound buzzed in the space, but Naruto didn’t have time to enjoy it as the baldy and the jumper man strode forward. Naruto pushed Hair Ball before lashed out his left leg and right fist respectively toward the jumper man and the baldy, he used more force on his leg while his fist struck the baldy’s throat. The jumper man’s back slammed against the wall behind him while the baldy held his neck with a suffocated expression. Naruto jumped and whipped the baldy’s head with his right foot, causing the baldy to fall on the ground and passed out in the instant. As soon as he landed, Naruto dashed toward the jumper man and clashed their body.
*Bang!*
The wooden wall behind him broke and sent the jumper man’s consciousness into the La La land.
Naruto raised his left hand and caught an arm that held a scissor in its hand. He turned around and saw the hoodie man with red face trying to bury the scissor edge into Naruto’s back, Naruto shook his head, a mocking smile manifested on his lips, he slowly turned the hoodie man’s arm, making his body twisted in the process. Naruto grabbed the scissor before he jabbed it on the hoodie man spine.
“Fuckkkk!”
Less than Five minutes, 6 men laid on the floor; 3 out of cold, 1 hurt in the stomach, 1 with a broken arm, and the last one had a scissor on his spine.
Naruto took a deep breath before he grinned brightly, “victory.”
“W-what are you going to do with me?”
After the fight concluded, Naruto put a seal on everyone body to restraint their movement, even make them unable to talk beside Hairy Ball. Naruto walked around the shoddy house, the place only has one floor and three part of the house; A living room connected to the kitchen, one bathroom, and one bedroom. Naruto pondered for a while before he entered the bedroom. The small room only had 2×3 meter cubic, with one rough bed beside the wall, a pungent smell leaked from it made Naruto questioning the activity they have done on that bed. Naruto made a seal then tapped the wall nearby, “wind release: desolation space.”
A pale green spread from the spot he touched, covering the entire room until the last corner, Naruto smiled before he opened the door, pulling Hairy Ball by the wooden chair he occupied and placed him in the center of the room. Naruto went out again and took another chair and put it inside, without closing the door.
“So, you and Xu Zhihong quite close right?”
“If you try to dig information about Master Xu from me then you better give up, I won’t speak a single word,” Hairy Ball snorted.
“Such a loyal subordinate, I’m impressed, you guys must be acquaintance since, what? College?”
Hairy Ball sneered and let out a mock gaze at Naruto.
“No…” Naruto rubbed his chin, “it’s impossible to be that loyal if only college’s friend, you guys have known since high-school.”
Hairy Ball twitched his eyes but soon recovered his mocking gaze. Unfortunately for him, even though it only happened in a brief it still caught by Naruto.
“You guys also like played together right? Maybe bullied a nerd, robbing people’s lunch money, mocking a fat girl, sexual harassing a cheerleader, blah, blah, high school stuff.”
“No matter what are you trying to do, you won’t get a single information from me.”
“Good! Because I just want to inform you that tonight, I will kill Xu Zhihong.”
Shock triggered within his eyes but soon he laughed out loud, “it’s impossible for you to do that!”
“Oh? Why?” Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows.
“Xu family has great relations with both big gangster and martial artist clan!” Hairy Ball sneered, “the moment you tried to kill him, even if you succeed, these two big influence will chase after you and tear you shred!”
“Ah, no wonder this big family always prosper in China, they have relation both in the mundane and expert world” Naruto leaned his head against the backrest lazily.
“You know about expert world?!” Hairy Ball’s heart shook to the core.
“Of course, I’m after all one of the experts!”
“No wonder you can beat us easily…” His face turned gloomy, “but even so, you won’t be able to content against the whole martial artist clan, not to mention the gangster influence.”
Naruto slumped on his chair, he stared at him, “no matter, Xu Zhihong still have to die today, he dare to place bugs and cameras in my house, a lot.”
*Boom!*
An explosion brimming inside Hairy Ball’s mind, causing his brain to temporary unable to process the information he received.
Looking at his absentminded expression, Naruto let out a chuckle, “what? You think I wouldn’t notice? The second I laid my eyes, I sensed many unnatural electromagnetic polluted my house.”
“That’s impossible!” Hairy Ball’s body trembled.
At the afternoon, when Lin Ruoxi still in the banquet and Naruto at Yu Lei, Xu Zhihong ordered him and his gang to place many listening and monitoring devices at their home. Since Lin Ruoxi’s nanny was waiting for Lin Kun in the hospital thus the house remained empty for quite some time so they could set the place in leisure. Almost every part of the house had been set up so no way a single movement went unnoticed.
The reason for this because Xu Zhihong wanted to know about Naruto and Ruoxi plan, when he proposed Lin Ruoxi to hurt Naruto, he feared that they would play in act to set a trap for him, the moment they decided to do that, Xu Zhihong will send Hairy Ball and his team to kidnap Lin Kun instead Naruto. But who knows that they turned out having a fight for real, although it was unexpected and not exactly follow the plan.
In excitement, Xu Zhihong sent the team to kidnap Naruto and as if a goddess of luck smiled on them, Naruto mentioned about going to the bar in the wine street so they can go ahead first and not have to tail him.
It was really a stroke of luck keep happening, by the time they found Naruto in one of the bars, they saw him drunk and heard his mumbling about sucking Lin Ruoxi’s wealth, at first they thought they may have to struggle to kidnapped him but who knows it actually so easy.
“In a normal circumstance, it was indeed impossible, after all, they called as spy equipment for a reason, but you put tons of them in my house, it’s like you placed a neon sign “WE BUG AND MONITOR YOUR PLACE HA HA” in front of my doorstep!” Naruto shook his head, “let’s picture it like this, I walked on a street and passed by a blue wall on my left side, now let’s put few tots of light blue on its several surfaces, is it possible for me to notice them? Maybe, if I’m focused on finding them, but if it just a glance? Or a brief scanned? They are no different than the rest of the blue color on the wall.”
“Now let’s adding more tots, hell, we filled the entire half of the wall with it, what do you think?”
Hairy Ball faces darkened, he bitterly said: “so you purposely leading us to kidnap you?”
“Of course, why else I would embarrass my self like that?” Naruto rolled his eyes.
“Haha! I admit you are truly great to be able to trick us like that, even not hesitate to hurt two women on your own accord,” he laughed provocatively, tried to win the advantage he had lost many times ago.
“They both also know,” Naruto lightly said.
His laugh froze, with a confused face he looked at him, “what?”
“They know, both Lin Ruoxi and Mei Mei know.”
“Wha… How… When, How the fuck did you tell them?!” Panic flashed over his face, this chain of facts kept hitting him without mercy, his brain unable to bear such a pressure.
“Well, I explain about Mei Mei first since its very simple…”
“Ah!” Mei Mei moaned as Naruto bit her left ear.
“Sssh… don’t change your expression, don’t talk back, just listen to me, and kept struggling,” Naruto let go his mouth, he licked her ear before speaking softly, Mei Mei startled but she still follows as she told.
“First, I’m sorry for my behavior, I wasn’t mean to hurt you, second, someone has been watching me since the first couple of minutes I enter the bar and started drinking, they possibly bad guys who will try to kill me or kidnap me.”
Mei Mei’s heart turned cold, her body shivered a while as she grasped his shirt.
“Shh, I’ll be fine, when I said you are my guardian angel, I mean it… so bless my safety and pray for my return, OK?”
“Mister, I warn you, let Mei Mei go or I swear I’ll shoot you, right away!”
“Well, that’s about it…” Naruto smiled as he thought about Mei Mei, he felt sorry for tricking the hussy, yeah, he such a bad person, he had to compensate her later.
“Then how Lin Ruoxi, how do you tell her?” Hairy Ball said with a depressed face.
“Oh, this actually quite tricky, I have to bet in Ruoxi’s intelligent and her knowledge about me to understand my messages.
In the beginning, I said “well, what do you think? I’m dying to have that knife instead they sell a piece of garbage like this, tell me Ruoxi, what do you think?” In that sentence, I want her to think instead of getting emotionally affected, I even repeat the word think twice but I know I failed by seeing it through her expression.
I forced my way with sentences until the word “Lie” appeared within her mind.
The next sentence held the word “Many”, “Ears”, and “Trick”
Followed by the word “Eyes”
Next, it’s a full sentence, “No matter where you are” followed by “carefully act around” and “don’t actually look like what you displayed”
The last was “Manipulative” and “Xu Zhihong”
At this point, I just hope she understood, if not, then I’ll apologize to her later and explain everything, and you know what?” Naruto smirked.
Hairy Ball already cried out loud inside his heart, this was too much for him.
“She gets my messages! The sentence “you know about me” meant she praised me for admitting her capability and intelligence.
“I understand”, “this whole time”, and “just pretend”, well that’s pretty self-explanatory.
The rest just how she played along with our drama. She even asked whether there were bug and camera too inside her rooms, and I told her it’s in her book-shelves and in the bathroom,” this time murderous intention rose within his eyes.
“Xu Zhihong really a gentleman yes? He does not even hesitate to bug and monitor her in such a private place.”
Hairy Ball face became pallid, he hurriedly said: “yes, yes, we just did as master Xu said, everything according to his arrangement.”
A cold glint reflected on Naruto eyes, his face turned cold, “I know you will bail on your master eventually.”
“W-what are you saying?!”
“Xu Zhihong maybe a wretched person but he still a young master of big family, morality and noble still run within his blood, besides, he plans to conquer Ruoxi through shrewd plan and tactics, not a sexual exploitation, in fact, with his wide resources, it will be easy for him if he really wanted to do that.”
“Please believe me! It’s really all master Xu plan, I’m just following an order.”
Naruto face still cold as ever, “at first I just want to kill you and end your suffering but I changed my mind because you broke my tolerance thrice…”
Naruto walked closer, “first, you dare insult her right in front of me…
Second, you dare accuse her as a whore…
Third, you dare mess with her privacy…”
Naruto bent his body, his killing intent soared into the room, “I’m not gonna let you die, I’m going to break your soul and mind, humiliate you like a piece of shit you are, and I will… hurt you… in the most painful way…”
Naruto stood up and walked out from the room, he grabbed the baldy man by his leg and dragged him into the room, he placed him on his previous chair, Naruto unseal his mouth restraint as he took out a scissor and hovered it above the baldy’s tight, “do you know what the most effective way to torture for information?”
“Please let me go! Hairy please tell him to let me go!” The baldy spoke with clear fear in his tone.
“W-what are you gonna do?!” Hairy Ball also unable to hold his dread.
Naruto glanced at him with his frosty eyes, “The most effective way is… you don’t torture the informant.” Naruto dropped down the scissors.
In this small space of a wooden house, a voice of begging for mercy and screamed of pain continuously reverberated without any end.
