Chapter 20 - Failure Is Not Permitted

I was sent right away when they gave me the location where the reapers meets up with that certain beast member. I actually don't know what I should do there but Keto said I have to find out what they're doing.

Arriving at near the place, I immediately saw two guys that were wearing scythe shaped earring on one of their ears. Keto told me that those earings are the symbols of the Reapers so it's no doubt that they're the ones I'm looking for. They made a quick turn at a small alley and that was when I made my way there.

"…the beasts are pieces of shits."

"Beasts are scums! They think they're all high and mighty? Fuck 'em." My head keeps nodding to agree with them. I never wanted to be a part of this shit but that damn Keto just had to force me to work for him.

"I can't believe Walker won't leave those jerks. Those savages aren't even that strong at all, they just cheated on our commander to steal our gang's number one spot." Hmm? What's that I hear?

"They don't deserve to be called number one here."

The way they talk about Wild Beasts got me curious that I got a little bit closer to eavesdrop. I'm hearing something so strange and important here, I can't help myself but to listen more to them. "What the fuck are 'ya doing here?" And unexpectedly, another guy arrived here and spotted me. This time it was the beast member, he was wearing the red uniform.

"A-Ah, um…" shit, what am I supposed to say here?

"Walker?" The other two also came out of the alley and saw me. "Who's this little runt?"

"No idea. I think the kid wants to get beaten up here."

"W-W-Wait, no! I didn't mean to—" I didn't get to finish what I was saying when my fellow member decided to swing his fist near my face. Luckily, I got to dodge it but then the other two got a hold of me. "We got him Walker!"

"Heh, you won't get to dodge this one!" Now all that was left for me to do was close my eyes and wait for that painful punch. Atleast I know this won't hurt as Lexi nor Keto's punch, but getting hit on the face still isn't a good thing for a girl.

"Ah!" Damn, that still hurts like shit!

I thought they would let me go for a moment, though I know one punch is never enough for these nasty thugs. Before he could punch me again, I hit one of the reapers face with the back of my hand. As I got one of them off my shoulder, I turned to the other one and gave him a headbutt on the face.

One was knocked down, so there's two left to deal with.

"You little!— You'll pay for that!" When the conscious reaper tries to hit me, the beast member was also trying to get a piece of me. I tried my best to avoid every attack they do, but somehow they were still able to land a few hits.

I fell on my knees as the reaper managed to punch me hard on the stomach. "Ack!"

"Hahaha! This stupid twerp thinks he can go against us on his own." Walker arrogantly said.

"Don't mess with us if you don't want to get beaten up like that again."

"…this isn't over yet." I muttered.

They leaned over with annoyed expressions on their faces. "Huh?!"

"I said… DON'T FUCK WITH ME!" When I got a hold of the reaper's hair, I slammed his face on my knee. Walker winced at the sight of his buddy getting knocked out and looked at me with fear. "What the h-hell… how can you do that when you're all beaten up? W-Who are you!?"

"I'll be the one asking the questions here. Why the hell are you meeting up with these reapers?" I asked him back.

"A-Are you…" I smirked seeing that he can't believe what he's witnessing. Maybe it's best to reveal what I am to make things easier to understand.

"Fine. I'm from the second squad, Keto's right hand. Got a problem with that, asshole?" I am definitely nailing this delinquent act. He steps back while slowly shaking his head, this guy is probably scared now that I mentioned Keto.

"No way… n-no!… I!!"

"Let's take the easy way, shall we? I'll let you go if you just tell me the reason why you're meeting these scumbags."

Even though he already knows who I am, his trembling hands turned into a fist. Walker glares at me and looks determined to fight me. "I see, you want to go with the harder way." I got on my stance, preparing for his coming attacks.

"Don't go telling lies! How can someone like you become Keto's right hand?!"

Oh, so that's what this is about. He thinks I'm bluffing about being Keto's right hand. "Oh shut up. I became his right hand because I can easily beat weak punks like you. I tried settling this peacefully, yet you were the first to raise a fist."

"You cocky twerp!" As he tries to hit me again, I can finally get back at him fairly. Since he's the only opponent left things got easier to deal with.

Every careless punch he throws gave me the chance of gripping on his right arm. With that being done, I got to stop him from attacking me endlessly. "Like I said, weak punks like you are too easy." Walker got horrified before I smacked the hell out of his face.
