Prologue to Chapter 25: Resting time and flashback pt.4

The very first place Jin went to was a real estate company to ask an agent to help him find a place. If he was going to get kicked out, he would at least need a place to stay. He didn’t want to live on the streets like a hobo. ‘Too…. Tiring because of hobo huntings… Always have to fight either gangsters, police men, or the people who think highly of themselves.’ He sighed.

Jin went to a real estate company called “Your second best friend” which deals with land and house owning and such. When he went inside, there were a few people waiting in line to find and own a house. There was one booth open where no one waited. ‘Hm? Is that a free spot? I guess I’ll go check.’

But when he went to the empty booth, a man was blocking his way. ‘Huh?’ Jin tried his best to get to the booth by going around the man but he kept blocking.

“Sir, you know there is a reason why I am stopping you right?” The man said in a low but stern voice.

“Uh… what is the reason?” Jin had to ask.

“You have to get a ticket sir. Right over there.” The man points to the ticket booth.

‘…. Crap… Was not using my brain… Now I feel stupid… *Sigh*’ Jin inwardly sighed and walked over to the ticket booth to receive a ticket. “May I have a ticket miss?”

“Oh sure. You’re number 1006” the woman at the ticket booth said to him.

“The hell?” Jin’s face felt like it was slapped. “Miss. Is this number correct?”

“Oh sorry. Wrong number. Here you go sir.” She said as she took the number back and replaces it with a new number reading. “1009”

Jin’s lips quivered as he saw the number jumping up. “Miss? Is this the right number?”

“Oh sorry. Here is the real number.” She said sweetly as she replaces the number once more that reads, “2314”

Jin’s face fell and knew that she was doing this on purpose. He was so angry but he could not blow a fuse at the woman. He gritted his teeth and accepted the number and walked away in a bad mood and out of the real estate company. ‘I should never ask for the right number ever again…’

When he left, the woman was grinning evilly. ‘Who told you to ask? Now you will have to wait a day instead of three hours. I don’t care that you are handsome. Handsome and stupid should not go together.’

Jin could feel the evil intentions behind his back. ‘I swear lady. The first person after I am getting revenge on after this is all done is you’ Jin felt a little more evil now that he has some of his memories back.

Diamond Leitner’s house….

Jin was only a few blocks away from Diamond’s house. But he wanted to make sure she was alright and so he called Diamond’s house to see how she was doing. The first sound he heard was….

“HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!” a scream rang from his phone and echoed in his ear drums.

“*BOOOM*BOOM*BOOM* CRACK* The hell? She already called him!” a familiar voice could be heard over the phone. “B*tch! Give me the phone!”

“NO!!!!” She screams but from the sound of it, the person already grabbed the phone and broke it.

“… oh shiet…. This is not good…” Jin muttered and ran right over to her house. ‘The police may not be able to get here on time… If they do, the other five might tell of our deal and then I’ll be screwed as well… It’s five voices against two and there are five debt collects while only one of me… Dammit!!!! Agh! I hate this…’

When he finally came to her house, he saw her being dragged away by the hair by the red haired man. The house she was in was already in shambles because they broke down the windows and doors.

“Shut it b*tch! You couldn’t get the money so now you have to pay interest!” The red haired mowhawk man growled.

“I don’t owe you guys any interest! I thought you promised us that you would leave me alone until he comes with the money!” Diamond stills struggled to get out of his hold.

The blue haired man came up with an evil smile. “Sorry lady. Change of plans. I have a matter to attend to in two days and I do not have the patience to wait. I don’t even have the time to breathe the air here.”

Behind him were the three other men who were waiting calmly without paying much attention to the commotion caused by their companion and the woman. Their eyes seemed tired enough to that one of the three nearly fell asleep.

*Woosh*Woosh*Woosh*Crack*Crack*Crack*

Three objects flew through the air and hits the three who were lazily waiting and knocked them out instantly.

The blue haired man turned back to see the three who were laying on the floor were knocked out by three ridiculous objects. “A pair of shoes and a phone!?”

Before he could even see who did it, a shadow blurred under the sun and already grabbed his neck and was squeezing the life out of him.

“Can you breathe?” A cold gaze flashed before the blue haired man from a man with sunset hair and a fiery burning within those amber eyes. The hand filled with malice was only getting stronger and stronger around his neck.

The red haired man turned back to see that his comrade was being held hostage by a man he recognized. “B-Brother! Ngh… Who are you!?” the red haired man held a blade to Diamond’s neck.

“Still can’t remember me? *Snort*” the orange haired man snorted and squeezed a little tighter. “Let her go if you don’t want all your other friends to die.”

Diamond looked at the orange haired man and gasped because it was the person who helped her before. “B-Belphegor!?”

“!!! He’s Belphegor!?” Both the blue haired and red haired man were shocked to hear this.

“Ha ha! Glad to see someone with a good memory.” The oranged hair man coldly laughed. “Seems like you couldn’t wait eh? Then I have no choice but to not wait as well then.” Belphegor then used his other hand to turn the blue haired man’s head ninety degrees to the left. “Don’t blame me for not listening to me before for not keeping your promise. You’ve brought this on to yourself~”

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

*Crack*

Belphegor gave a slight and easy push to the man’s neck and was now locked in position in one direction. He could no longer turn his head the other way even if he wanted to. He was still alive and breathing, just with a head fixed in one direction now. “Now breathe.”

“Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” the blue haired man screamed. It was because Jin/Belphegor stopped his breathing at first that he could not feel pain. But now that air was able to get in his lungs and blood flowing upward, he could now feel the pain in his neck.

“!!! BROTHER!!!” The red haired man roared. He drops Diamond and charged at the Jin/Belphegor. The man was blinded by anger and could no longer think.

“You dare to take interest? Well, I’ve taken interest as well. Let’s see how much of a back bone you have!” Belphegor spoke.

Belphegor was not interested in an upfront confrontation. Though he was much stronger than the red haired man, the contest of strength was not appealing to him. So what did he do? He just ran in circles down the block, across the streets, and circled around cars and trees.

“Get back here you bastard!!!!” The red haired man was getting tired from running. In front of him was the orange haired man who broke his brother’s neck. The orange haired man was not even tired in the least.

“*Pfft* Buh Bye” Belphegor waved and continued to run. ‘If there is something I am confident in, that is me running away. ‘ He wickedly smiled as he continues to avoid the red haired man to play cat and mouse. Along the way, if one of the men would try to wake up, Belphegor would turn back to stomp them back into dream land and leave a great foot print on their face while making sure they were bleeding. “Strange enough… No one gives a crap about whatever happens in the neighborhood…”

The red haired man eventually got so tired that his body gave in and stopped in the middle of the streets.

“Five…” Belphegor counted. “Four…”

“You bastard!!!!” the red haired man screamed. But that was all he could do. He could not catch up to the orange haired man.

“Three…” Belphegor did not even pay attention to the threat.

“Why don’t you fight fairly? Are you afraid that much!? I doubt you are Belphegor!” The red haired man continues to provoke.

“Two…” Belphegor paid no attention.

“You prideless bastard!!!!” The red haired man yelled out one last time.

“*Sigh* One. I’ll tell you now, I am Belphegor in name.” Belphegor gave a long sigh.

*Boom*Boom*Boom* Boom* Boom* Boom* Boom* Boom* Boom* Boom*

The red haired man got hit by a Diamond Leitner using a wooden bat. Her bat swung violently at the red haired man until he was completely unable to move. His body turned black, blue, red, and purple. “You hypocrite! Hypocrite! Hypocrite!” Diamond did not let him go easily. She left him horribly damaged all over. His bones were broken and his body swelled like a balloon.

‘… Yeesh… What a violent woman… I gotta remember not to piss her off…’ Belphegor shuddered at the mutilated red haired man. “Who told you to put your hands on a woman? Who told you to go back on your words? I told you not to blame me. I can’t save you from the beatings man… Especially on someone who went back on their words.”

When Diamond realized what she’d done, she looked horrified. “I-I didn’t… I didn’t do it!” Her eyes were filled with fear. She’d just mutilated a man using a baseball bat. Luckily, he was still alive and breathing. Belphegor went up to Diamond and took away the bloody bat from her hands and gave her a warm hug to calm her down saying, “It’s alright. It’s alright.” Diamond cried a little in his arms while Belphegor sighed inwardly. ‘Geez… People like her should really not hold a bat. I… really don’t like these types of people… They can hurt my ass on impulse.’

When she was finished, she backed away and apologized. “Sorry If I caused any trouble for you mister Belphegor.” Diamond felt a little relieved after the gentle hug that calmed her down. Her opinion of the man before her is a little different now and more ways than one. ‘This guy may look mean but he is clearly a nice guy.

“*Sigh* It’s fine. Besides, you didn’t kill anyone. Let me handle this from here on out little miss and we’ll talk about this afterwards. From now on, do not snap like you did today. Alright? It’s because I won’t help you again like I did today.” Belphegor said to her. He went to pull the red haired man out of the street and onto the concrete ground. Afterwards, he went over to the blue haired man and twisted the blue haired man’s head back into place. But he wasn’t done. The man twisted the guy’s arms and legs and retwisted them back in place. Diamond could hear the bones cracking loudly.

‘… Nice… But really really really mean as well…’ Her heart quivered when she heard the bones being toyed with easily. *CRACK *CRACK *CRACK*CRACK*CRACK*CRACK*CRACK*CRACK*CRACK*CRACK*CRACK*

*Pi*pe*po*pi* “Hello, 6789? I have five gangsters laying on the floor? They were vandalizing a house and breaking in to my friend’s house and got beaten up by a mysterious person and left. Can we get an ambulance over here?” Belphegor said to the operator. He was expecting a kind response.

“F*ck them then! Call an ambulance for those garbage!? Leave them in the streets to rot!” The operator angrily said and hung up.

Jin’s/Belphegor’s mind was blown. Never had he heard a more angry voice. Once again, he called and got the same response from a different operator. He tried again several more times and yet it was the same response but in different words. ‘People are cold these days…’

“Belphegor?” Diamond spoke up.

“Huh? What is it?” He said while still trying to get an ambulance.

“Why is your hair and eyes orange?” She asked.

“… Dyed it. Eye contacts.” Belphegor simply replies. He couldn’t say that the qi he was using was strong enough to change his features. It also influenced on his personality slightly as well because he felt all happy inside for an unknown reason.

“Oh…” She was slightly disappointed in hearing his answer. But she left things alone until he was able to get an ambulance to her house to pick up the knocked out people.

“Alright then. Time for me to leave. These guys shouldn’t bother you any time soon. Also, I think the debt should be cleared by tomorrow” Belphegor gave an amused look.

“Huh? How so? Why?” Diamond felt puzzled at his answer. But all Belphegor did was laughed and left her confused.
