Chapter 6 - Ultimatum

Aldy sat on a chair in an empty building not far from his school. He slowly exhaled the nicotine smoke that had been his daily addiction from his respiratory tract slowly.

Not long after, two people arrived, two people who were already familiar to Aldy, namely his best friend Marsel, and Zico, one of the two people Aldy wanted to provoke.

Zico stopped his steps right in front of Aldy who was still sitting while enjoying his opium. "I heard you want to challenge me?"

Aldy looked back into Zico's eyes. "Is that all you hear?"

Zico did not answer Aldy's question. Aldy extinguished the embers at the end of his cigarette by throwing them on the concrete floor where they stood, and stepping on them with the sole of the sneakers he was wearing. After turning off the nicotine stick with the filter remaining, Aldy stood up and looked Zico straight in the eye. "If you lose against me, then both of you, and all your men must obey me."

Hearing what Aldy said made Zico smile a very wide smile. Even though the first-grader had to lift his face so that he could look into Aldy's eyes with a defiant attitude, Zico was not at all afraid of Aldy.

"Do you think it will be that easy? Even if you can defeat me, my people will not bow down to you ... that's if you really can win against me."

Aldy took a step forward, bringing their faces closer together. "Maybe you don't understand, but I'm not giving you a choice that you can refuse."

Zico frowned. "And what the fuck does that mean?"

"In the end, you only have two choices. Follow me, or die."

The footsteps of many people could be heard entering the building area. It could be seen that there were two groups of students who came, from the second-grade gang led by Marsel, and also from the first-year gang led by Zico.

Zico turned around briefly and looked back at Aldy with the same gaze, showing a strong will to fight the ultimatum that Aldy had just said.

Aldy was already well-known even among the first graders because of his scary fighting ability when he was in the field of mass fights with other schools.

Even so, they did not realize that all this time Aldy had never done it wholeheartedly. Because if he did, Aldy could be many times more terrifying. That was why even Zico, who was actually Aldy's junior, still looked down on Aldy.

Zico smirked, "What did you say earlier? We're going to die? I'll tell you one thing, even if Marsel's gang is on your side, you won't be able to destroy me and my people. In fact," Zico hung up on his words and clenched his fists. his palm, landing a soft fist on Aldy's left chest. "You are the ones who will be crushed for underestimating me and my people. Do you understand?"

Aldy smiled broadly in front of Zico's face, "Who said that Marsel's gang would help me?"

Aldy's question made Zico frown. "Huh?"

Aldy turned to the people who were members of the gang led by Marsel. "What I said also applies to all of you. I don't care if you are Marsel's men. If you don't follow me, then only death will await you."

Everyone who heard Aldy's words responded with different expressions. Most of them felt shocked, and many also felt humiliated. No matter how great Aldy's fighting ability they admit, what can Aldy do if he is alone?

Even Marcel was surprised to hear his best friend's words.

And from the front of the building, the sound of footsteps was heard again. This time, Edwin and the rest of the gang of third-year students who followed behind him entered the building and joined them.

"Hahahaha~ ... " Edwin stepped in while laughing loudly, bringing all the attention to him. "I thought you weren't stupid, but you are the most idiotic person even among idiots."

Aldy did not reply to Edwin's taunt who had just arrived. He still didn't show any expression.

"So, if my guess is right, and maybe I'm right, that you want to challenge all of us. The three biggest gang groups in Caius Ballad Private High School ... alone. Am I right?"

Marsel stepped closer to Aldy and put his face in Aldy's ear and whispered as quietly as possible. "Are you crazy? If you keep provoking them all, even I myself will not guarantee that I can restrain my members from attacking you. And as you know yourself, in this situation, even my status as the leader of the second-year gang will not be able to help a lot. Don't you want to think of another way?"

Aldy turned to Marsel. "You'd better go home, Sel."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't want to send my best friend to the hospital."

Edwin and Zico's anger grew even hotter. They couldn't even believe that Aldy would threaten his own best friend like that. What is Aldy trying to achieve that he seems to have lost his mind like that?

Marsel looked around and turned it back towards Aldy. "I warn you again, don't. As a friend who still cares about you—"

Bammmm!~ ...

Aldy hits Marsel's face with his head, causing fresh blood to flow from Marsel's nose and take a few steps back. Marsel made a gesture as if telling his gang members to stop them because they seemed to want to gang up on Aldy.

Now Marsel, Edwin, and Zico, the three of them stood in front of Aldy, with their respective group members behind them.

Edwin, as the most senior of the four of them took a deep breath and let it out lazily. "It's better this way. I don't know how strong you are, but there's no way you can still live if we all gang up on you at once. Because it seems that you really want to rule this school, and the three of us as gang leaders still have a grudge against each other. with each other, how about the four of us fight? And the one who can stand last, he wins. The loser, like it or not, has to submit to the winner."

Zico as the youngest among them showed the most displeased expression with Edwin's proposal. "Who the fuck are you to suddenly decide everything?"

Edwin looked back at Zico, "You'd better keep quiet while the adults talk, snotty brat."

"What did you say?!"

Marshall nodded his head. "I agree with Edwin's suggestion. Because the problems between the three of our gang can all be solved in one fight."

Edwin flashed a smile full of mocking accents at Zico. "Did you hear that, stinky brat? If you're scared, you'd better go home."

Marsel set his sights on Aldy. "What do you think, Dy?"

"My ultimatum remains the same. You all must follow me, or else you will all die."

Edwin, Zico, even Marsel were already at the peak of their highest emotions. Marsel again tried to show his sympathy for Aldy, but before he could ask his friend to reconsider his decision, Aldy continued his words.

Aldy smiled with the intensity of his eyes that remained sharp and piercing. "But, it's not bad either. I can cut off three snake heads immediately, so their tails can follow me."

Edwin and Marsel set their sights on Zico, making Zico not understand what they meant. "Why are you looking at me?"

"What about you, little underage bastard? Did you agree to a fight with just the four of us, or do you want to go home and hiding in your mother's miniskirt?" asked Edwin who seemed to like to mock Zico.

"Fuck you! Of course, I will fuck you all!" Zico protested with a look full of anger.

Now the four of them have agreed to solve all the internal problems of their school gang in one fight. The battle that determines who will sit on the highest throne, and will be obeyed by all members of the school gang.

And at that very moment, the very brutal battle of the four most respected people in the school began.
