Chapter 5

The person on the other side of the door looked at Asura but couldn't see his face. The man closes the slider and leaves to go to his boss on the second floor. He enters the room after knocking and being approved.

"boss some guy downstairs is saying he has a business offer to you," the young man says while looking at an older, well-built male who looks to be in his middle ages.

"oh yeah? Bring him up" says the man while sitting at his desk.

The young man soon came to the door and let Asura in. Once instead Asura is taken to the boss's room. While walking there, he detected around 15-20 people in the building.

Asura stands in front of the sitting boss and noticed a slurping and sucking type sound. It is coming from under the boss's desk.

'he is being sucked off' Asura says in his head.

They both stared at each other and the boss is looking at Asura with contempt, wondering what can this guy offer him.

"I came to acquire your gang" Asura doesn't greet the man or introduce himself, instead just gets straight to the point.

"you can stop. Return to the closet" The boss isn't talking to Asura but the person under the desk. The person that came out had long black hair, pale skin, and large brown eyes, but when looking at them now they seem dim. Asura had to look at this person a bit longer because this person is doesn't just look a bit older but because the person looks like Haku.

The boss seeing Asura looking at Haku says.

"He was sold to me as a girl, but turns out was a boy. I still put his mouth to work through," the boss laughs.

Asura nods while looking at the boss again while Haku goes into a closet not too far away.

"anyway back to your offer. What if I refuse?"

"Then I would just leave,"

Asura had no plan of forcing him or killing him. Since there are other gangs, then just go to a different one.

The boss seems to be thinking, then shakes his head as I refuse. Asura nods then asks.

"can I get the boy?"

"5000 gold coins," The boss says despite paying only a few silvers for Haku. Asura sighs then releases a bit of his reiatsu to the boss.

Death is what the boss felt while also feeling his back getting wet.

"I'm just joking. You can have him" the boss quickly says. Asura pulls back his reiatsu, and the boss sighs in relief.

Asura makes his way over to the closet and opens it to see Haku sitting on the ground with his knees against his chest. When the closet door opens, he turns his head to look who it is and its Asura.

Asura throws him a cloak and bamboo hat and says "let us go" he turns and starts walking. At the bottom of the stairs, he hears footsteps coming down and following him. He didn't have to look to know who it is. He soon walks out with someone in similar clothing following him close behind.

Back at the gang, the boss was scared and wondering if he made the right choice. It is not just the power he felt but also saw when the cloak and hat came out of nowhere. It's either a space ring which is expensive and those with wealth and power have them or he was a space mage which he heard is rare but also dangerous. He just feels happy that the person didn't take action against him.

Asura visited three other gangs after. The first one rejected and so did the second one, but they tried to rob and kill him after. He walked out of the building with dead bodies on the group. But what's weird about it is that they seem to have all committed suicide. It was the third gang that finally accepted his offer, and he changed the name of the gang to Laughing Coffin.
