Hiro pulled back his right hand, fist clenched his legs ground and his posture steady, waiting for the approaching bikes.

Then in a split second, his fist had a silver glow around it as it shot forward, colliding with the front most bike's headlight.

The bike caved in on itself and exploded while the Shockwave caused the other bikers to fly off their bikes and fall to the ground, knocking some of them out.

The bikers watched in disbelief as their assailant casually walked out through the fire and explosion, not even a scratch on his body.

Swallowing their fear, the bikers rushed forward, some armed with baseball bats and some with hockey sticks while a few even carried chains.

Hiro grinned, under the shadows of his hood and sprinted towards them, ready to pummel them straight into dreamland.

[Wind's grace- activated]

[Current stack: 3/9]

Hiro disappear from their view and suddenly, two of the members flew into them from the left then three from the back and seven from the front.

Hiro used a mixture of taekwondo, senpou footwork and capoeira to nimbly move around and swiftly deal with the kagiroi bikers.

[43/80]

[71/80]

[79/80]

Hiro stood in front of the last biker. He was bloody and bruised while hiro didn't even have a scratch.

"Why...why are you doing this? What will you gain from attacking us?"

The guy asked, blood falling down his lips. He looked like he was about to lose consciousness.

Hiro gave a sad and melancholic smile, he also didn't want to do this, but he can't deny a quest.

"I'm sorry, but I need to get stronger. So strong that no one will ever be able to take what's mine."

The biker looked up, his eyes filled with realization as a small smile crept on his bruised face.

"So that's the case. Then we won't hold it against you, after all, even our president has someone he wants to protect."

With that he lost unconscious and began to fall forward before getting caught by hiro.

"Thank you. For understanding me."

He said before laying biker on the ground before calling for ambulance.

[Quest completed- hunting the rabid dog's pack]

[Rewards have been sent to your inventory]

Hiro looked at the prompt then at the damage he caused before opening the status panel and turning the rewarded 5,000 credits into 5 million yen.

After buying a suitcase and writing a apology note, he put the money in the bag and left it next to the vise president of kagiroi bikers before taking his leave.

xxxxx

Hiro made his way back to the estate, his mind filled with guilt and conflicting emotions.

When he arrived at the entrance, he was surprised to see no one.

He walked through the hallways yet he found no one until his heightened senses picked up on some sounds.

He made his way toward the sound leading into the family hall.

He opened the door only to be stunned by the sight. The hall was decorated with everyone from the clan present.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOUNG MASTER!!"

They all said in unison, aiko and karura standing in the front.

Aiko had small smile while karura was grinning wide as she said.

"So, how did you like the surprise??did you like it?"

Hiro slowly raised his hand and pulled down his hood finally revealing his face.

He looked more mature, all of features much more pronounced while his hair had gotten longer with few strands falling on his face.

But What what caught everyone's attention was the glistening silver eyes and his gaint bright grin.

"I love it. Thank you, all of you."

Hiro said, his previous emotional conflict pushed to the back of his head as he entered the hall.

'Sometimes, I forget that I now have people who I can lean on.'

Hiro thought while blowing the candles, but the moment was short lived as karura smashed the cake in his face.

The hall was filled with laughter as Hiro chased after her, both laughing.
