Lynn's pov
My morning was instantly ruined when I received a call from Keto. I expected this to come but I thought he would call me in the afternoo., I just wanted to enjoy my morning peacefully, though I know thaf as long as I'm involved with matter like this, a peaceful life is the last thing I'll ever get.
"Keto called you?! But it's still too early!" Lyde complained as I told him about it.
"I know right? But I have to go or he might beat me up." I said while fixing the wig on my head. It's really a struggle when I had to put this wig on, it made even think of cutting my own hair so I wouldn't bother anymore. But if I do that, then I might end up being identical to Lyde.
"Hm. I wish you luck, sis. Please make it back alive later."
"Yeah, I'll try my best. See 'ya later." And while I go on my way to meet Keto, a lot stuff came to mind.
What if Keto decides to never get rid of me?
What if I get killed by the other members who doesn't like me?
What if Keto wants to fight me one on one? I don't think I can win that fight. Just from the looks of it, I'll probably be dead meat in a few minutes with Keto pounding his iron fists on my face repeatedly.
Ugh, this is really stressing me out.
When I finally made it under the west bridge, Keto was there with a few of his people. But they all don't seem like ordinary members. "Ohh! The kid's here guys!" Keto announced.
I flinched when they all had their eyes on me. The way they stare at me was unsettling, like they would want to fight or something. I just looked away from them so I could atleast not piss my pants. "This is Lyde, the little guy who beaten up Jeiro." Did he just called me little? We only have an inch difference in height.
"Huh, you sure you're not making that up?" Some of Keto's friend came up close and takes a closer look at me. It was scary how tall this person is, and the scar under his chin makes him look more dangerous than Keto. I felt even more nervous when he grabs me on the face and checks my face. "Your face is pretty soft and punchable, noh?" He even laughs like a villain.
"E-Erm…" is he planning to beat me up?
"Lexi, stop scaring the kid." Another one came to pull this 'Lexi' away from me. When I got a better look at the guy, it was the guy who wanted to take the eyeliner away from me before! "Oh come on, Ash. The little guy beaten up Jeiro who looks more scarier than me." No, Lexi was way more scarier than Jeiro. Jeiro looks just like some extra disposable character, but Lexi on the other hand looks just like the villains in those tv shows.
"Keto! You think I can go with a quick test on this one?" Oh shit! When I looked at Keto, he was already grinning and pushed me on the back.
Lexi started to do some stretches when Keto gave permission. "Sure, go crazy. But don't kill him, aight?"
"Yeah!"
"No!" I cried out, I just told Lyde that I'll try to survive this morning. Aahhh! I want to run away so bad, but Keto is already guarding my back.
"Here I go!" And in a flash, Lexi's high kick hits my left arm and sent me flying for a few seconds.
"A-Ah!" I tried to get up from the ground so I could defend myself better but damn, I can't feel my left arm! His kick was really crazy strong!
"Oh?? Are we already done here?! Keto, what the fuck is this? Ren's going to be so disappointed."
"What the hell. Don't fucking embarass me, Lyde!" I heard Keto complaining.
Lexi grabs me on the collar and laughed at my face. "I knew it, did you pay Jeiro to make yourself look stronger? There's no way a wimp like you could do that. Just look at you!"
…
"…let go of me." I quietly told him.
"Hm? What did you say?" He leans in closer and before he could say anything else, I gave him an uppercut which made him losen his grip on me.
"Woah!"
"That's my boy!"
"Now that's a dirty move." Lexi looks upset with the sudden uppercut.
Dirty move? Didn't he pulled the same stunt first?
I smirked at his face with all the fears fading away. He maybe scary at first, but anyone who looks down at me just makes me annoyed to the point of fighting back even though it's a huge risk. "That's just to show you that the fight is just beginning."
"Is that so?… I won't hold back you little prick!"
I dashed towards him to aim at his face again, but he was able to punch me down. "Tch!" Now that I was laying flat on ground, I grabbed both his feet and swiftly lift myself to give him a headbutt at the stomach.
"Argh!…" He grabs me on the shoulder to sway his knee onto my stomach.
Shit! The hit on the stomach got me bad. "Is that all you got?!" He roared.
Lexi then attempts to kick me on the stomach, but I caught his foot on time. With his leg stretched out, I aimed my elbow to break his leg. "Get crippled you damn jerk!" I yelled back at him.
