Just as Cain and Nam were going towards the dock to find and save the girl, Ian along with Yosef reached a fancy restaurant that was famous for its expensive food and lavish interior.
Stopping right in front of a valet, The duo got out with Ian handing his keys to the person coming to him. "This already seems like a pain." Yosef voiced his thought as Ian couldn't agree more.
Eating with someone who had ulterior motives definitely sounded like a pain in the ass.
"Remember Yosef, we're here to hear what he has to say, I imagine Gun and Goo are with him so don't get any funny ideas"
Once he said that, Yosef stopped yawning and fixed his posture. In truth, so far any strong enemy's were hard to find these days as when they were in middle school, it was still in the process of the first generation about to end.
But before it could end, they met several strong opponents but the one who they couldn't forget was that Lee guy.
He was insanely fast with his body and flexible and insanely strong that they wondered how their boss delt with him.
But after some time he disappeared and they haven't seen or heard from him. So the next best thing was looking for Gun and Goo, kids who were making names for themselves.
Back to that time where Ian met the 4 crews along with Gun and Goo, he along with Cain wanted to take them on but they didn't have the chance.
So now that he's finally going to see one of them again, he couldn't help but alleviate his boring expression into a smile.
After Ian giving the name of the person he was supposed to see, a waitress guided them with a blushed face as they looked like models entering with wearing their suits as she stopped at a table with two people already sitting.
"…..Well, Your not Charles." Ian said standing in front of the table as he saw Gun with a grin and beside him was the person who invited him, under the pretext of Charles.
"No, I'm a Choi, Crystal Choi." Crystal Choi, beauty unparalleled due to having a second body as she was meeting with Ian in her 2nd body due to Gun being with her.
"Following the princess?"
"A certain princess you are. Yosef, the names Gun, I believe we haven't fought yet." Gun threw out a response back as he then faced Yosef.
"We haven't."
"Wanna do it right now!? I heard you are exceptional with your buddy Cain!"
"Can't, wanna reschedule it"
They were talking and discussing when they should fight like a date as they forgot what they were here for.
"So, why did you call me here for?" Taking a seat across from her, the duo sat down while Gun crossed his arms and laid back.
Taking his shades off and putting them down on the table, Ian looked at Crystal who found it hard to talk due to Ian.
She was creeped out along with fascination as she couldn't believe this guy who was 1 year older, would look this without an 2nd body.
"Questions regarding" She side eyed Gun as he shrugged and turned back to Ian "About my 2nd appointment with you"
Ian chuckled as he knew what she was referring to about "Does Charles know your meeting me?"
"He does, he allowed me to come in his stead."
"Sure sure, so, does he not tell you about the 2nd appointment?"
"No, not yet but I figure I can't wait."
"Well" Grabbing a cup of water and drinking it, he smiled seeing Crystal annoyed due to him taking his time. "Since he doesn't want to tell you, I can't as well."
"Wh-"
"It wouldn't be good hearing it from a stranger, plus, who says I won't misinform you?"
Crystal narrowed her eyes at Ian as he snickered, nothing like this has ever happened to her when talking to the opposite gender.
Only with her dad and his genius's could say no to her but outside of that, she never once heard about a man declining her request.
It made her annoyed as she looked to the side and found Gun gone. She caught him going into the bathroom and suddenly relaxed her expression.
But then she looked around and saw people staring at their table as hearing "They're such beautiful couple", made her embarrassed.
Although embarrassed, she didn't show any shyness because she held no feelings for Ian. He was the exact opposite of what she searched for a man.
"Ahem, since you won't tell me then I'll get to the point. I'm here to offer you something, come work with us Ian. There's no point in turning my father into your enemy."
A waiter passed by them and tried to enter the bathroom but found it closed as he suddenly heard a thud from the other side and quickly went to go get the key.
While he was going, Gun took out his hand out from the whole of the wall due to Yosef moving his head.
...
"Who taught you that form?"
"None of your business"
"I heard from Kim that your a subordinate to someone. Did he teach you that?"
"Don't know"
"What's his name, I wonder if we trained alongside each other."
"Don't care"
"…" Veins were popping out of Nam neck and head as this kid was getting annyoing for not answering his questions. This Cain guy was quiet as he was closely fowllling along and not making any unnecessary movements while keeping up.
'Amazing stamina…and there's the fact those eyes. I don't know why but I have a feeling those eyes are are more than just for show.'
"We're here." Cain, Looking out, saw tons of tugboats parked at the harbor while some small warehouses were around with people walking around, who did not look like they worked here.
"There, it has the most people around it. I suspect there's your missing person." Cain pointed out as Nam agreed as well.
"Looks like you have some training in this stuff. Able to know where they are."
"Nope. It's classic for something important that treasure of the opponents, is to be guarded by large amounts of people." Cain said once again as Nam coughed and felt slightly embarrassed.
It didn't take long to get there as they quickly put the people making rounds, to sleep as they made their way to the warehouse.
"From here, it won't matter if we're quiet, they'll soon catch on so quickly take them out."
"I got it old man."
"You-" Nam didn't get to finish his sentence as Cain ran towards someone guarding the door as the person was caught off guard seeing a kid running towards him.
Benefit of the doubt. "Hey! No kids-"
"What! Hey! Kid what are you-"
"I told you to wait for me" Nam said swiping someone off their feet and smashing his head into the ground
"You said to take them out quickly, that's what I'm doing" With that, Cain quickly moved on to the next guy as Nam breathe out.
Cain black coat on him that reached to his hips, was grabbed by a person as he spun him around and caught him, strangling by the piece of fabric the guy grabbed onto.
Quickly taking out more man, they entered the warehouse as more rushed to them but quickly got taken out as they saw middle age men standing around unconscious body's.
"It turns out I was right" Cain said putting his hands into his pockets as he stood straight up with a fixed posture and his eyes looking at the group.
"Yes, nice to meet everyone. My name is Manager Nam, and my associate Cain, we're here to end it all" Nam said having his hands in front of him while standing upright with veins popping out of his hand and neck.
"What the? How did-"
"Move.Altough this guy is crazy for bringing a kid along, I can tell he's good."
The duo didn't say anything as Nam stepped forward and went to deal with him while more and more men started to appear.
Cain got a good grasp of how his "partner" fights and why he was curious about AKL, he himself knows it and uses it good.
'It's good, although Boss has a more perfect form, for me, I can confidently say I have more grasp on the form and techniques.' Cain thought as the fight finished quickly with Nam putting a knife under his throat and calling him a 1 star.
"Now shall we finish it up here and Leave? Where's Miss Dayeong Ahn?… Oh there she is. Get her Cain would you."
Looking at the girl with duct tape over her mouth and orange hair, he subconsciously grabbed a pennet around his neck that he's never taken off since he was 8 years old.
She muffled for help as Cain got to her while he stood her to and took the tape off her mouth, and feet. "Don't worry, your safe now. We're here, once we get out-"
"Haha,The boss was right! I should always have insurance when I'm dealing business with Koreans."
Cain held the girl by her arm as he kept her close by him seeing the air around change once people with white suits came in with some sort of badge on them.
"That badge is…." Nam trailed off seeing it as he looked around and saw that they were outnumbered, circled In and now in disadvantage because of the girl.
It would be hard to fight and protect her at all time and there's also the variable of Nam not knowing this kid strength so he might've brought him to die.
Yakuza "Kyungsunghwe" Exutives. "They're the aces of our organization. I had to make a deal with them that costed an arm and a leg, nothing odd about that. And let's not forget about that deal your in too. They must've arrived already. You know what that means right? The cleaning will start, You along with that kid will die here! Because we risk our lives to get the job done-"
The guy Nam had a knife under his neck, suddenly stopped talking as a guy with one of the white suits who had a dark complexion and blonde hair suddenly stabbed him, and along Nam but he used his other bare hand to stop the blade from almost penetrating him.
Cain looked calm seeing a person get killed in front of him as the guy started to cry as he talked about Samurai spirit. 'This is going to be tricky. I have two strong looking opponents behind me while being surrounded by third rates. The only thing worrying me is trying to take them on, along protecting this girl.'
'This guy is intense….he won't be easy'
"He died for the samurai spirit! He would not be forgotten! Taeki enemy!" He pointed his samurai sword towards Nam as tears were flowing out from behind his sunglasses.
"I shall never forgive you! You should die a painful death along with your friends, killing my friend and bringing kids."
"This is annoying. I ain't no kid." Cain said as he looked behind him and saw the two guys in white suits start to make their move.
The guy with the sword dashed at Cain "I'm not very happy using my sword on children."
"Watch out!-" Nam quickly said as he stopped with him being surprised along with everyone else.
They saw an executive, flew back with one kick from a kid?
Even the person who attacked Cain, he himself, felt confused as he saw the ceiling and felt the cold hard ground on his back.
A loud shout was heard as the other big guy with a white suit rushed towards him but Nam punched him in the side and made him tumble away.
"Were you worried?"
"I thought you were incapable."
"Heh." A chuckle escaped Cain lips as their opponents got back up and charged at them.
Cain saw blood coming out from his opponents nose as he backed away and threw the girl down, seeing the blade miss his stomach by an inch.
The guy threw a back kick in which he missed and was followed up with a downward slash.
Cain continued to dodge as he hit his hand which made him drop his weapon and left an opening.
Taking that chance, a straight kick to the chest sent the men flying out and land on the ground while grabbing his chest.
He had trouble breathing as he felt one of his hands numb. Cain looked beside him to see Nam standing there with the guy who has blonde hair, right in front of him while his first opponent was nowhere to be seen
They stopped their fight once he appeared as Nam couldn't sense him when he showed up beside him.
"A former AKL, it's surprising seeing one out all the way over here but I'm honestly curious, why did you show our combat to this kid?"
He said as Nam turned his head to see his opponent fighting Cain as the guy who held the sword, got back up with a pain expression visible on his face.
"Don't worry about him, he's soon to be dead. It's really unfortunate but our techniques can't be used by children who haven't been through war. They don't understand what you need to use those techniques."
"On another note, why would an AKL solider would tech out techniques and rescue someone? Have you gone soft since being discharged?" He smiled while lickings lips as he held the girl by her arms with she herself began to cry while pleading to be saved.
'Shit. I forgot about her….' Cain thought as he shouted "Nam, I'll be there. Let me deal with these 2nd rates first. What happened to the girl!"
"It won't be a problem Cain, I'll deal with him quickly, just beat them first and then help the girl while I deal with him." Nam said having some sweat drops down his forehead as he couldn't carelessly move due to him having the girl as a hostage.
