I Only Want To Kill-Chapter 124: Butcher of Akansa

Tyler dashes at Zero with the steel sword in hand. Suddenly, the Sun Bird breaks through the window and stops in front of them. Glass shards fly everywhere, piercing Tyler’s skin.

Zero grabs his sword and lowers his body stance. He is now ready for fighting.

Tyler drops down on the floor, dropping his sword. The glass shards cut into his hands, they are bleeding heavily. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

He opens his eyes wide and gasps in pain, holding his palms tight.

"It’s hurt! It’s hurt!"

Tyler is a high school student with no real combat experience. He hasn’t even been in a real fight before. The first sign of pain causes him to fold right away.

"I told you so," June says.

"Remember, you wanted this." Zero suddenly speaks out a sentence that is not ordered by Blaze before. A dense killing intent fills the air that makes all the boys freeze.

"Oh shit!"

June jumps over the counter and gets in front of Zero.

"Calm down! Calm down! They’re just being stupid! There is no need to hurt them!" June waves her hand repeatedly, trying her best to prevent this conflict from escalating further.

A boy comes over to Tyler and pulls him up. Another steps forward and bows down.

"We’re sorry, Mister A-Rank. Please forgive us! Tyler was only joking around!"

"Yes! Yes!"

"That’s right!"

"He’s just joking!"

All the others nod like chicken heads.

Zero takes a look around the room and finally lowers his swords down. He puts it on his back, and the Sun Bird magically sticks on it without any strap.

The clone leaves without speaking a word.

June lets out a huge breath of relief.

"What a scary guy."

Then she immediately goes to Tyler and presses on his forehead.

"What are you thinking, huh? Do you want to get yourself killed?"

"But! But!" Tyler’s lips tremble.

"Get him out of here. And don’t ever come back! I have no interest in a boy!"

"Yes, sister!"

"We’re going right away, big sister!"

The kids drag Tyler out of the gas station without any hesitation. They all feel relief from this small incident.

This causes them to reevaluate their relationship with Tyler a lot. His family is rich, sure. But no one wants to mess with an A-rank.

Some of them even feel great for witnessing Tyler meet his match. This arrogant boy makes many enemies that he doesn’t even know of.

"It’s only the early morning, and I already have to deal with this. Ughhhh!

When are you coming back, Aunt?!"

June groans quietly. She is only here to take over the store for her aunt, Eleanor. She needed the credits, so she accepted the job. But now she is slowly regretting it. On the first day of coming here, a voidgate appeared. Now there is conflict with the locals.

At least the promising A-Rank Awakened doesn’t seem to hold any grudge toward her.

June looks out the window to see Zero on his way to running again. His feet wobble in a funny way, but June doesn’t see it like that at all.

All she can see is effort. Maximum effort, even for a gifted human. She has seen many men in her life. Those adults that still act like boys. And the boys like Tyler that hasn’t seen the real world.

But there is Blaze. A hard-working young man that knows exactly what he wants. He is even an A-rank Awakened.

"If I were a few years younger, maybe I’d have the chance."

June suddenly remembers the red-haired girl that accompanied Blaze. That one is a beauty. A fiery, strong personality with the face of an angel. How can she even compete with that?

June laughs at herself and stops daydreaming. Maybe in another life or another her shall their fates have any chance of intertwining. From now on, he will be only farther and farther away. And she will just be the ever D-Rank Awakened.

Their little connection ends here.

"Farewell, Blaze Singer. Wish you the best in life." June drops the curtain and continues cleaning the store.

She doesn’t even notice a raven on top of the electrical pole outside that is observing her closely.

"The situation seems to resolve itself." Isaac mumbles to himself. He flaps his wings and flies away.

He hasn’t slept for two days straight. He has to go around doing jobs for Blaze. Then when he’s free, he has to keep an eye on William and check on his status.

William is really doing a good job at helping those victims now. He even has a nickname already.

Snake. That was the name Blaze gave him. Now people called him that instead of his real name.

The attack at the Police Headquarters is known by almost everyone now. The citizen of Akansa knows that someone attacked the Police but doesn’t know exactly why and who.

The authority itself is also trying its best to maintain order.

An emergency conference is being held at the City Council with all the big-name journals coming to prey for the spicy news.

Adam Gulliver tries his best to deal with the public and also the internal departments.

All the deserted cops were also very surprised when they learned Adam was spared. But then they soon see that Sebastian has temporarily taken control of the Police Department.

They all understand the politics beneath it in an instant.

The news works its way fast. Everyone has already decided on the nickname for the attacker, and all the articles are being published at lightning speed.

"Give me a spicy headline! Unregistered Vigilante destroyed Akansa City!"

"What?! What do you mean there were a hundred deaths? Put it on the article right now! Cold-blooded killer murdered two hundred innocent police officers in one night!"

"The building is in ruins! I got it! Police Headquarters, BOMB!"

"There’s a signature in front of the gate? What did it say?

Oh? The Wraith? I got the title: The Wraith, hero or villain? Why isn’t he showing up?"

"The attacker of the Roof strikes again!"

"Unsung hero or egomaniac killer?"

"The hero we all deserve, Wraith, has returned!"

"The Butcher of Akansa vs. the Corrupt Police of Akansa!"

Many articles were published. But one catches the eyes of the public. It quickly goes viral, and everyone in the country learns the name of the Wraith and his saying.

Kana is making coffee and also browsing the news. Then the article hits her eyes. She looks over to Blaze, who is enjoying his breakfast on the table.

"Is something wrong, Mom?"

"Go check the news. Search for ’Butcher of Akansa’."
