26: Premature Death (1)

"Stop!" - exclaimed an armed man as he looked at the bus coming in his direction - "Who are you and what do you want in this place!"

"Sorry for the inconvenience, my name is Koichi Shido, and I am a teacher at your boss's daughter's school" - said Shido with a small and kind smile - "As for what it is that I wish, it is simple, I want to ask for asylum in the mansion because we have been traveling back and forth without rest"

The armed man frowned slightly before looking inside the bus and noticing how there were only boys in the vehicle and by their appearances, he could tell they'd had a rough last couple of days.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to try to contact the mansion" - said the soldier as the professor continued to smile, although inside he was frowning with irritation.

It was true what he had said, they had been driving from place to place, looking for supplies to survive and women to enjoy, but all the women they had found, were qualified in two categories, the first were zombies, and the second were women who were under the command of other groups, and these seemed to be especially possessive of them, though it wasn't as if he could blame them, not when he had only been able to relieve his tension with his own hand, while his students were even more savage, they had used the weakest boy of the group as a sacrifice. Oh, and speaking of that boy, he was currently in the back of the bus, looking vacant and wishing for death after everything his classmates had done to him. Yes, this wasn't the best thing they had done, but it was the best decision they could make with what they had.

Shido had thought about joining in the "fun", but his pride prevented him from doing something so disgusting from his perspective.

[What do you want?]

"Soichiro-sama, we have group of people who wish to enter the mansion" - the armed man replied.

[I'm busy, tell them to come later...]

"Takagi-san, my name is Koichi Shido" - said Shido with a frown - "I've come to ask for asylum"

[A Shido...]

"That's right, I'm the son of one of your former allies" - Shido replied while trying to play the familiarity card.

[I'm sorry, but I can't let you in, at least for now because let's just say I have a few problems]

"I can help you solve them" - Shido said while gritting his teeth - "Better yet, we can negotiate it face to face."

[... Give me a moment...]

Shido smiled slightly because it seemed that he had managed to convince Patriarch Takagi, or at least convince him to not ignore him.

The students were celebrating that they could finally have some real fun, though first they would have to get rid of their former classmate, because they could hide what they had done.

It took 30 minutes for Soichiro to arrive alongside Yuriko, who simply frowned at the sight of Shido.

Koichi Shido simply looked at Yuriko with lust, after all, she was perfect. A mature aura, a seductive figure, beauty comparable to that of a model, and tits that begged to be treated like sex toys, Shido could hardly contain his arousal as he was thankful that his bottom wasn't visible from the outside.

"Ok, I'm here now" - Soichiro said as he narrowed his eyes - "Tell me what you want before you leave"

"Excuse me?" - Shido asked as his expression fell apart - "Leave?"

"Yes, I can't allow your stay in my place" - Soichiro replied with a frown - "There's enough chaos already"

Shido's expression darkened as he felt his hostility grow drastically - "Impossible, my father is your ally."

"He was, and honestly he always disgusted me, I only helped him because I didn't want this city to go to shit" - Soichiro replied with disdain - "Putting that aside, it's time for you to leave and find a better place, though you don't have to worry, we'll provide you with enough support to get by for a week or two"

"You can't do this to us, we are acquaintances of your daughter!" - Shido exclaimed angrily, though his expression paled when he saw how the armed men were aiming at him - ". . ."

"I recommend you think carefully about your actions and words, Shido" - said Soichiro neutrally - "Now go away, I have a lot of work to do!"

The students looked at each other before falling silent.

"Are you seriously not going to let me in?" - Shido asked neutrally.

"Give me a reason for letting you come into my home, take my food and take advantage of our women" - Soichiro replied neutrally while looking directly into the professor's eyes - "That's all I ask for, a reason."

"My father is a renowned politician, I can facilitate you many interactions with the top leaders" - Shido said coldly.

"That is useless in this situation" - said Soichiro while shaking his head - "First strike, Shido".

"I can use my father's name to create a bridge with the military, their help will be enough to stabilize your situation as the ruler of this city" - said Shido seriously.

"Haven't you seen what those sons of bitches have done? They have been killing civilians" - replied Soichiro with disdain - "Not to mention that I am a criminal, even if I have connections with the politicians of the city. The moment I personally talk to them, it's possible that the next second I'll have a bullet in my forehead because I'm too dangerous for their fucking attempt to control the city... Second strike."

"I can help you control your livestock, I'm sure you must have a few troublesome underlings" - Shido replied as he took a long breath to calm down - "With my help you can get them out of your way, I only ask that you give me a high enough position to enjoy my stay in your mansion"

"That sounds good, though there is one problem..." - Soichiro said neutrally - "That would mean that I would let you enough influence over my men, which would translate to having a snake in my garden that could bite me at any moment..."

Shido fell silent when he heard this.

"That's your third strike, Shido, you'd better leave" - Soichiro said as he shook his head before walking back towards the mansion.

Yuriko gave a smile full of disdain to the professor before following her husband, which caused his fury to rise.

Shido gritted his teeth before opening the door for the armed men to bring some goods up, however, this was a slap in the face, a clear attack towards his pride as a Shido, and that he wasn't going to allow.

After closing the door of the bus, Shido made the bus go backwards in reverse, only for a small idea to pop into his head. He knew that if he did this, things would end horribly, but that didn't matter, he only wanted one thing, he wanted revenge, he wanted the death of this son of a bitch, he wanted him to squirm helplessly while he fucked his wife.

All the accumulated hatred and stress, it had exploded and there was no way to control it.

A huge, cold smile appeared on the professor's face as he felt the reasoning disappear inside him. He didn't care about the consequences, he simply wished to savor the death of this son of a bitch who had caused him to lose control.

"Sensei?" - asked a boy, but his expression changed when he saw how the teacher stepped on the accelerator - "Shit!"

"Stop!" - exclaimed the gunman as he saw the professor change his mind and accelerate in the direction of his leader - "Shit, open fire!"

At the leader's signal, a group of armed men appeared from the buildings and fired in the direction of the bus.

"Shit, they shot Keichi!" - exclaimed one of the students as he saw his comrade on the floor of the bus bleeding with a glance that was slowly starting to fade - "You're going to kill us, Shido!"

"Do you think I care?!" - Shido exclaimed madly.

The students quickly rushed towards the teacher to try and stop him, only to fall one after the other because of the soldiers.

Shido continued to laugh madly as he charged against the yakuza boss.

"Boss, be careful!" - exclaimed an armed man.

Yuriko looked back, only to open her eyes, surprised to see the professor driving against them - "Shit, that son of a bitch has lost his mind!"

"Die, die, die, die!" - Shido shouted as he let out a laugh.

Yuriko quickly drew her gun and fired at the bus, causing it to start losing control and impacting everything in its path.

Soichiro slowly looked back as he thought of something.

"Soichiro?" - Yuriko asked as her eyes widened like plates when she noticed her husband's cold and calculating stare - "What are you doing!"

"Creating my best ending" - replied Soichiro as he let out a laugh, one just as crazy as Shido's - "You want to kill me, come on, give it a try, Shido!"

Yuriko couldn't believe what she was seeing, this was crazy, yet at the same time this seemed like something her husband would do. He was always straightforward and unafraid of death, so facing his end was something he would do even if he wasn't terminally ill.

"Come and get me, you son of a bitch!" - Soichiro exclaimed as he pulled out his gun while trying to point it in the professor's direction with his shaking hands. If he was going to die, then he was going to do it fighting and if possible, taking the son of a bitch who wanted his head with him.
