Chapter 87 - How much?..

While Benny watched the developing events with interest, Jack did not share such feelings.

— Don't cry!

"Give me the gun, Jack!"

— It's not worth it, Roar!

— Let me get the fucking gun out!

— No, Roar!

The girl tried her best to remove the guy's hands from the holster, but they did not give in.

That is, she felt that she almost managed to rip her hands off the holster, but she didn't have enough strength to do such a thing.

Therefore, in addition to angry abusive thoughts about Shenhua, Revi was surprised to notice — "What a grip! Like a rock climber! From where?! He was clearly weaker than me just recently!"

— Roar! — with a struggle on his face, Jack spoke loudly, as if trying to pierce the veil of anger and rage in the head of the passion — Let go of the situation, please! For my sake at least!

Revie froze.

This statement of the request calmed her down a little.

— For you?..

- yes.

At this moment, Shenhua squinted, added fuel to the fire — So this dork is still weak-willed?

Jack looked sharply at the Asian woman and said with a look: 'Can you be quiet, please!'

Revie, frozen, tensed up more than before.

— For the first time I see a 'henpecked woman" in the feminine gender. — covering her mouth gracefully, Shenhua said — And do you already forgive him for treason, like an obedient bitch? Oh, yes, I completely forgot... Of course you forgive.

Revie's irises narrowed frighteningly.

A second later, she began to break out of Jack's embrace with a vengeance, while roaring — I'll definitely knock your brains out of your stupid head, you bitch litter! Let me go, Jack! Let go or we'll have a big fight!

Jack pressed his lips together, not letting go of Revie.

Then he looked angrily at Shenhua — Can you shut up your fucking birdhouse, you fool?

Revie froze in shock and stopped fighting...

Shenhua also froze, staring in amazement...

Benny, sitting in the car, also froze, not even feeling the beer pouring past his mouth right on his new forty-cent pants...

Shenhua tried to say something several times, but the words stuck in her throat.

Finally she asked in incomprehension — What?..

— Are you slow-witted or what? — Jack's eyebrows drew together strongly, exhaling with force — Will it not reach you in any way that you need to close your mouth?

From the abrupt change in the mood of the guy, which she seemed to like very much, the Asian woman was confused — I am...

— What 'I"?! Eh?! — Jack shouted, almost spitting — Don't you see the situation? Do you really want to die here and now?!

- "Horseradish turns..." — wiping his face with a napkin, Benny was amazed

Even Revie swallowed her saliva from the guy's abrupt change of mood from a kind defender to an aggressive demon — "Jack..."

O'Dim whistled in the guy's head — "Someone goes into courage..."

Shenhua, having gathered herself, folded her arms on her chest — Don't you dare talk to me like that, boy. I'm not afraid of your obedient bitch.

— Come on!? Seriously!? — Jack leaned forward, looking at the Asian woman as if she was a fool of the last stage — And I'm standing here for furniture in your opinion, crushed?

— That is?.. — brought her thin eyebrows Shenhua

— Let me explain to you, since it doesn't reach. Jack was saying, letting go of the shocked Revie and walking forward on the Asian woman like a tank

"You and your boyfriend set me up... Jack was saying, pointedly pinching his finger on his hand

— I'm not...

— I didn't ask for your opinion just now, don't you think? Jack tilted his head to the side

The words of indignation stuck in Shenhua's throat again when she saw how bright the honey eyes of the guy seemed to shine with an evil, demonic light

— They dragged me into their contract and without me, they made me a target for some gangsters. They dragged me into a brawl and practically forced me to kill in order to survive. A chase with a 'stoned' drug addict, and then you led me into a trap...

— I didn't start it...

— You knew that there was no other way out of the warehouse and you would have to walk over the corpses to leave it! — Jack pointed his finger in her direction — You deliberately took advantage of the situation and dragged me into a trap!

Stopping for a moment, Jack smiled broadly and spread his hands — I helped you kill them, even though I was dragged into this shit by captivity. I didn't try to escape or frame you. I helped you out! I swallowed my pride! Worries about Revie! And I called my own woman to save my ass and yours, enduring your pejorative look! I was the first to get shot to get out of the warehouse, even though you were in the way! And what is the result? Eh?

Benny put the beer aside.

The events were too interesting.

Revie has already let go of the situation.

And there was no shadow of anger in his heart.

Now she was more worried about her man... and even for this fool, because it was not pressed in a childish way.

She wasn't stupid.

I immediately realized that she had her eye on their boyfriend.

Therefore, it was easy for her to put herself in her place and understand that...

Well, it wouldn't have been easy for her either, if Jack had snapped, like this, on her.

— As a result, you come out and start insulting someone close to me! The man who also helped get your ass out of this shitty situation! Do you really think that if Revie starts a fight with you, then I will stand aside like a pillar? Jack asked with maximum irony, poking himself in the chest with his thumb

— But..

— Tell me! Do you really think I'm going to watch my girlfriend being put at risk by an unknown fool that she just, you might say, saved from her ass? Do you really think that I won't shoot at you and help my woman because of your pretty face?! Do you really think I won't shoot you after that ass you dragged me into with that stoner?! Really? Answer me, you fool!

— Jack ... — Revie said more quietly than usual, slowly approaching the guy from behind

It was a pity to look at Shenhua now.

Now Jack looked a little more like an abuser and an aggressor, and not a girl...

...

Today was a shitty day for him...

Too much stress...

How many did he kill?

How many bullets flew overhead?

How many times has his body gone through a transformation today?

How many more do he have to kill before he avenges Hiro?

How much?..

This day is clearly not going to let him go soon.

First, a truly incredible offer of Balalaika and the others in the form of shooting porn, which promised him an excellent profit in the form of evil points and performance enhancement.

But he refused, coming to his senses at the very last moment.

How outrageously huge is their love and trust in him?

Why does he feel like he's cheating them?

Why does he feel like a real bastard?

Then sex and instant murder, albeit clearly unfriendly, Aimin.

He used her as a stepping stone to a goal in the form of revenge.

Receiving information from her that he only has a week to get the bastard who killed Hiro.

Then Coco and her worries about her own plans and actions, as well as the girls' suspicions due to his rapid strength gain.

Then a shootout with the killers who came for her.

Lam's injury.

Almost killing Wil by accident.

Execution of already knocked out mercenaries.

The help from the Balalaika was a burden of responsibility.

Then the attached guards, who were the care and concern of a loving woman, but who were a threat to his revenge plan.

Then a deadly chase with a stoner in a car that was for him a thin steel coffin that could easily be shot from the smallest caliber, and you can't even get away from the enemy's sight.

And then an equally deadly trap, in which he found himself with this girl, who did not tell him in advance that the exit from the warehouse was only the front one.

And now, this fool ran into Revie in front of him?

His woman who came to save their asses at the risk of getting shot?

Everyone runs out of patience sometime.

Even a monk.

What can we say about him...

...

Jack looked like a beast at Shenhua, who was getting timid with every second.

The girl had never been in such a state before.

Even as a child, when they taught her to kill and tempered her spirit.

Suddenly, Jack's hand fell on the USP that was in his holster — Yes, I'm going to hole your head myself without the help of Revie!

Revie stared in shock and quickly came up, hugged the guy, blocking his access to the gun with his hands — Jack! Take it easy! You'll regret it later!

The situation has radically changed...

The actors have radically changed places in this crazy play...

Shenhua jumped back with a fear that no one else could catch up to her.

—S-sorry... — swallowing saliva, the Asian woman said, surprised at herself that she was apologizing to someone

— Excuse me? I'm sorry!? You just provoked my loved one to a shootout, and now you're shitting 'I'm sorry"!? Yes, I'll kill you to make sure that you don't ambush her somewhere later, when she's alone and at a disadvantage!

- "That's right, Jack." — Gunther nodded with a smile — "That's..."

- "Shut the gate, bald! I didn't ask for your advice at all!"

In response, O'Dim laughed, as he found the guy's condition funny.

— Jack stop! You're my kind beloved guy! Revie was shouting something she normally wouldn't have said out loud at all

It's just that the situation itself is strange.

Usually they hold her like this and she didn't have to restrain anyone else.

To make matters worse, Jack's hands were slowly but surely releasing the gun, despite her efforts.

— Even the priest will fuck with a censer when he loses his temper! Can't you see by me?! I am kind and calm, as always! Hey! Where are you going! Stop! Don't you dare run off to the warehouse with your tail between your legs!

Shenhua, taking advantage of the situation, accelerated her pace, and soon completely switched to running in order to disappear into the warehouse in a couple of seconds.

She decided that she would apologize later.

When he calms down and lets go of the situation.

Then she will visit him to apologize.

In a private setting, of course.

...

Ten minutes later, Jack was sitting on a high curb, and Revie was sitting on his lap, hugging his torso.

He's calmed down a bit.

Gradually, anger and rage were replaced by embarrassment and shame.

— "What came over me?.. Today was an extremely difficult day..."

Gunther nodded in the guy's mind — "Vo-vo. Behaved like a demon possessed."

In response, Jack grimaced and did not answer Mr. Mirror.

Meanwhile, Revie was almost cooing.

It is impossible to describe the feelings she experienced when the guy started protecting her like this, being ready to shoot some pretty, smeared with a ton of cosmetics, bitch in the head.

It was only recently that she defended him and was preparing to defend him all her life, and less than a month later, he had already grown up enough to defend her in return.

Naturally, she was glad, and her love for him only became stronger.

Benny, sitting at the wheel, smiled, exhaling softly — "Cooing lovebirds..."

— "The others will definitely be jealous...." — Revie thought with a smile, burying her face in Jack's chest— "M?.. has the smell become stronger?.. and more powerful... It looks like I have a stronger crush on this adorable asshole..."

— Were you going somewhere before I called? Jack asked, trying to steer the topic away from the situation

— Exactly. I forgot to tell you. — Revie sighed — I'll be away for work for a few days. Dutch found a lucrative business.

— Is it not dangerous?

— Nope. We will simply exchange one cargo for another and deliver it to the employer. That's all.

Jack chuckled softly—Last time it was also a simple business, and then we found ourselves under fire from a helicopter gunship...

— Well, that situation was an exception. This rarely happens.

— But aptly.

— Yes... so. — said the girl, breaking the embrace and getting to her feet — A little more and I definitely won't be able to go to work. You're like a magnet, from which you want to detach less and less. — having finished, she kissed Jack, and he translated everything into a deep kiss

After a dozen seconds, she broke the kiss with a satisfied smile and took a few steps to the car when Jack told her to race — Be careful, Roar. I'm not going to limit you any more than you limit me. But simple... be careful.

Revie turned around and mischievously stuck out her tongue — I'll try! Don't fuck them to madness, save your strength for my return!

Jack chuckled—Here's a little motivation for you to be more careful. If you don't come back, the others will lose a formidable competitor... you wouldn't allow such a good gift for your competitors, would you?

Revie, getting into the car, shouted — A tongue-tied devil! You know what you need to push! Okay, I'll definitely be careful! By the way, we are 'sisters', then 'competitors". Come on, decide!

Jack shrugged wearily in response— Is it mutually exclusive?

— Ha! Also true! You're spinning like a snake, choosing words, Jackie!

The car drove off and Jack, waving his hand, said quietly — I have to...

After standing for a while, he looked at the warehouse and sighed, walked straight to Ishtar.

He's had enough of finding a taxi driver for today...

...

It was getting dark...

On the street, not far from Ishtar, a trio of friendly peasants were playing poker, using buckets as chairs, and a leaky box as a table.

— I'm raising it!

— Where are you lifting, huh? It's written on your face that shit is on your hands!

— If so, then equalize, idiot! What to grind with your tongue!? Or did he piss off?!

— Who's pissed!? Did I piss?!

— Well, not me!

— Leveled! Get my money ready, asshole!

— Well, if that's the case, I'll even it out.

— Are we opening up, woodpeckers?

— Ta-da! Two pairs! Ha! Give me the money!

— You shit yourself without taking off your pants, your rotten head! I have a street!

— You're fucking!

— Look, asshole!

— What for!?.. You bastard! Niran, he's going to fuck us! Eh? Niran?

— I have a flash.

- yes... Fuck you! Both of them!

Unexpectedly, their fascinating gaming session was interrupted by a calm, affectionate female voice.

— Excuse me?

— And? — the players answered at the same time and also thought at the same time — "Non-native... why does she need an umbrella? There are no clouds in the sky."

— Do you need something?

— Could you help me a little, please. I'm just a lonely traveler who came here from South America. I'm looking for the place where my countryman disappeared to find him.

— Your countryman? — one of them scratched his belly, answering

—That's right.

— Such a one will be quite noticeable here...

— A countryman of such a beautiful girl? .. Hmm.

— There are no people from South America here...

— Does she mean?..

— Only if...

— You know...

— I'm listening. — the girl answered, calmly adjusting her glasses in the light of street lamps and kiosks

— We can't answer exactly...

— Is there someone who can answer?

— Well... there are two places where crowds of people of the most diverse groups constantly go, but...

— Speak up, please.

— But these places are directly populated by criminals.

— Yes, yes, thugs from all over Ruanapur. Although one of these places is pretty safe, as I've heard...

— But not in the other one. How many times has Bao rebuilt his bar?

— Yeah.

— Can I hurry up?

— In general, if you want to know something, then you can't find better places than the most probably popular Ishtar brothel or the Yellow Flag bar. I advise you to go to the first place. Truth.

— Yeah. A brothel, though not the best place to visit for such a girl, but the Bao Bar is a hundred times more dangerous.

— What's closer?

— A brothel.

"Where is he?"

"Oh, not far, dear lady. Go further down the street and when you reach a dead end, turn your head to the left. You'll see this place right away.

— Thank you very much. The girl nodded slowly, speaking as calmly as possible

...

The usual hubbub of Ishtar's guests pleased Jack's ears after all the deafening shots that his eardrums had survived today.

Jack even allowed himself a nice and warm smile while eating a steak, when he caught a strange picture with his peripheral vision...

The guy instantly tensed up, saying to himself — "Well, not..."

Quickly turning his head, he grimaced a little pitifully and tiredly when his eyes saw a certain girl in a maid's outfit coming in with some kind of suitcase and an umbrella overweight - "Yes, fuck ~ I..."
