First Conquest (II)

"For your sake, I hope you are not lying" A man sitting on the couch, looking important growled as he glared at the kneeling man in front of him. The man was wearing a tank top along with ripped jeans. His whole torso was covered in tattoos and he was also wearing shades even though he was indoors.

"I am sure it's him. He specifically asked us to see if the cops were already looking for him" The kneeling man assured the man on the couch. 

"What can you tell me about his Quirk?" The man asked. The missing report didn't have anything about his Quirk, but he must have a Quirk, or his parents wouldn't have been willing to pay so much money to get him back. If the boy was Qurikless then the parents would have probably washed their hands with him.

"He seems to have super strength. He easily took down 5 men and he even broke their bones, but I don't know for sure, sir" The kneeling man explained with a whimper. He could have directly gone to the cops with the information, but then the cops would have taken all the money the boy had in his bag.

The man also knew that he wasn't strong enough to steal from the boy, so he decided to involve a third party… These people promised to give him all the money the boy had in his bag along with a share of the reward money…

"Hmm…" The gangster-looking man mused as he rubbed his chin with a thoughtful look on his face. "You-" The man pointed at one of his goons. "-Take five guys with you and bring him here" The man ordered and the goon stepped forward with a confident look on his face. 

"Alright boss, but aren't five guys too much for a kid?" The goon asked as he felt five guys were kind of unnecessary to subdue a kid. He could do it by himself.

The boss shook his head in denial. "He might be a kid, but his Quirks are bullshit. I am not taking any chances" The boss explained and the goon agreed even though feeling slightly reluctant. "Take him with you to show you the way and if you don't find the kid, then break all of his limbs" The boss ordered while pointing at the whimpering man on the floor.

The whimpering man wanted to protest or at least, complain, but just one glare from the boss was enough to shut him up…

The boss pulled out his phone and texted the goon, telling him to deal with the man even if they found the kid. The boss snorted in derision… There was no way in hell he was going to give any money to the homeless Quirkless fool. He was going to take all the money for himself. The cops weren't going to care about a dead homeless dude since they had other things to worry about.

The boss pulled out a cigarette and lit it up before taking a long drag… The day was starting to turn out to be one of the better… So, he simply kicked back his legs and decided to wait…

~~POV Reo~~

Hmm… So, this is the place… I stared at the nightclub in front of me with a complicated look on my face. Right now I was wearing a hoodie along with a cap on top of my head. I have already seen more than a few posters of me here and there, which means that the cops were really looking for me. 

It was risky to come out here, but I wasn't able to stop myself from doing so… Initially, I wanted to bide my time and wait for the heat to die down before trying anything, but the more I thought about it, I realized that it would be a waste to wait any more since some other group could be eyeing the club too. 

I didn't want to lose this place to anyone else as it would be hard to find another place like this and I wasn't sure if my funds were going to last that long even if I stopped feeding my new employees…

Now, the question was, how the fuck do I enter the club without causing a ruckus? I might be strong, but I didn't know how to perform a neck chop or something like that to knock someone out and there were two dudes standing outside the club, which meant I would need to knock out the two of them at the same time.

After thinking for a bit, an idea finally popped inside my head… It was probably a stupid plan, but I needed to give it a try. I took off my cap and walked up to the club, trying to act as nervous as I could… 

"Beat it kid" One of the guards growled as he glared at me. He was looking annoyed, but working at this dying club like this, I could understand why.

"Umm… My mom works here" I spoke out as nervously as I could while hoping they didn't recognize me from the posters. The two of them took a careful look at me before one of them raised his fist in the air threateningly.

"I have been working here for years and I know that none of the girls working here have a boy, except for one, but that's not you. So, get the hell out of here before I beat the shit out of you" The guard threatened while waving his fist in the air. I stared at him for a few moments before I decided to drop the act since the cat was out of the bag.

"Oh well… I tried" I shrugged as I rushed at one of the guards, surprising him. With my small frame, I easily slipped through his guard and buried my fist into his gut, making him keel over, but the other guard was already looming over me by that time. He was fast for someone of his size… Must be some Quirk.

I raised my arm to block the punch, but much to my shock, his arm moved around my guard and he landed a punch on my face… What the fuck was that?!! His punch didn't hurt much, but I still decided to make some distance between us. I landed a few meters away and stared at the duo. The first guard was already up while holding his belly.

"Are you alright?" The second guard asked.

"Yeah… He is fast and hits hard" The first guard warned as he glared at me. Moments later, blades popped out his skin from all over his body. Hookwolf, is that you? I hope not… Either way, I needed to transform for this one. I looked down at my arms. This was the only hoodie I brought with me and I didn't want it ruined. 

I took off my hoodie before I started to transform… The two of them gawped at me as scales started to form all over my body. I tossed the hoodie away and stared at the duo… "You should have let me in" I growled with a grin on my face before I rushed at the duo…
