From Bullets To Billions-Chapter 78: Suck A Duck!
Chapter 78: Suck A Duck!
"Suck a duck sideways," Sandra muttered. She was fighting relatively close to Wolf and had been keeping an eye on Max, for a number of reasons.
Now she had just seen him take down one of the students with a single punch.
Max wasn’t big. He didn’t seem to have a lot of muscle. And yet, he’d moved with absolute confidence, using the momentum of the charging student to land a perfect strike.
Either Max was a natural-born fighter, or he’d done this plenty of times before.
"Right, right, you could fight all along, huh?" Dipter said, smirking. "I remember seeing the videos. The others weren’t wrong, seeing it in person is way different. Still, our positions aren’t the same, Max. So come and get me if you can!"
He raised his hands, and several students immediately began running toward Max.
All the others were tied up in their own chaos, no one could step in to help.
But Max didn’t need them.
As the first student came charging at him, Max lifted his leg and drove a powerful kick into his gut, winding him completely.
The student’s crumpled body blocked the path of the others, giving Max a second to breathe, just in time to spot another attacker flanking from the side.
Max turned and swung, his fist slamming hard into the student’s face.
The student held onto a bat, but Max’s punch had loosened his grip. As the bat swung through the air, Max caught it without hesitation and swung it hard, cracking it across another student’s face, his teeth clattered onto the floor like spilled dice.
Another rushed in with a knife, but Max didn’t even flinch, he hurled the bat straight at his face.
The student dodged just barely, stepping to the side, only to feel a sharp blow strike his wrist, forcing him to drop the knife.
Before he could react, Max grabbed the back of his head and drove his knee straight into the student’s nose.
Blood splattered, but Max wasn’t finished. He couldn’t be finished. These people couldn’t be allowed to get back up, not like last time.
So Max yanked the student down again and again, slamming his knee into the student’s face, once, twice, three, four times, before finally hurling him into the crowd approaching from behind.
With three down in quick succession, Max pressed forward, step by step, his eyes locked on Dipter, despite the growing wave of students trying to block his path.
Some of those who had been fighting others turned toward Max now, realizing the tide of the fight was shifting.
And just then, Wolf leapt from his spot, grabbing one student by the back of the head and slamming it into the ground.
"Sneak attacks like that are a no-no in my book." Wolf charged toward another student, and when the student swung a fist, he leaned back and quickly snapped forward like a snake, slapping both sides of the student’s head.
When Wolf looked up, the smile on his face remained as he saw the ruthless Max continue to move ahead.
He had locked one of the student’s arms right beneath his armpit, and then punched at the throat again and again, before twisting his own body, breaking the shoulder socket, and then kicking the student away.
’He’s ruthless... that quiet kid, having gathered all of these adults around him... What did they do?!’ Wolf thought. ’Did these kids even know what type of beast they were going up against?’
At the same time, as Dipter watched Max, the smile on his face had disappeared.
In his mind, there was a large difference between the two of them. He had climbed to the position of head of the school, and now he was going to surpass regular high school delinquency.
He was going to make his own power match those of the street-level gangs. How could just one student try to get in his way after all of this time?
Fueled with anger, Dipter wasn’t looking at the situation around him. One of the Pit members had gotten relatively close.
He head rushed in and seeing Dipter he had ran toward him, charging right at him. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Dipter still didn’t take his eyes off Max, and when the screaming man got close enough, Dipter spun his body and then let out a side kick.
It dug deep into the Pit member’s stomach, making saliva spray from his mouth. He was chucked rolling across the floor, finding it hard to breathe, and when he finally could, he began throwing up.
"Crap... make sure the other members are alright, some of these guys got knives and are a bit too trigger-happy," Wolf said, as he rushed over to his fellow member along with Sandra.
Looking over at Dipter, Wolf had seen the whole movement that had taken place.
’Although most of them seem useless, he actually seems competent. I would have liked to have fought him myself, but that wasn’t part of the job, right? You told me to just make sure you could get to him, so I’ll just stay, and watch,’ Wolf thought.
Wolf gestured with his hands, to make sure no one got close to the two of them with the other members.
Because finally, Max had reached his position, where he was now only a few meters away from Dipter.
"I wanted to ask you... were you the one that ordered all of this?" Max asked. "Were you the one that asked Ko to do all of those things to both of us?"
"F*ck me!" Dipter said. "This is why you’ve gone this far, this is why you’ve gone against me. Not because of money, not because of fame, or to build a legacy, but because of a little teasing!"
"Shut up!" Max snapped. "Sam... Sam died because of the actions you took. You want to play these games, but you should at least know the bodies you’re walking over to get to where you want to be.
"And everybody you take care of... there is someone else that cares for them. This is the consequence of your actions!"
Dipter started to laugh.
"You have no idea why we did what we did, right?" Dipter said. "But I bet you think there was some reason behind it... maybe that’s true with your case, but did you think that Sam kid was the first one? You think it’s the first time something like this has happened? There have been plenty of kids that have died.
"In this world, we all play by the same rules, we’re all on the same level. It doesn’t matter if they disappear or not."
"Alright." Max said as he pulled his fist in front of his face, all his fingers extended, and then gripped down tight. "If that’s your view, then you can’t complain about what’s going to happen to you next."
