Shin dashed into the alleyway, hesitating for a second before he procured something inside his pocket.
It was his own paintbrush, the only belonging he brought along.
A second later, he twisted the tip of the paintbrush, revealing a hidden cap. Underneath the cap, the paintbrush had been sharpened like a knife.
"No, please! Stop hitting him!"
"Still not planning to pay us back, huh?!"
"Yo-you...you are the ones who forced me to take it--"
Shin picked up his pace, before he dropped and slid past the assailant's ankles, nicking him with his deadly paintbrush.
The assailant immediately cried out in pain, crouching down to hold his ankle that bled profusely.
Shin stood in front of the older couple protectively, a cold glare in his eyes.
The older couple were surprised by the presence of a scrawny, thirteen year old child.
"Who the fuck is this kid?"
"They adopted a child?"
"Who cares! Beat them all up!"
