Keto's pov
It wasn't long until I heard a bunch noises outside, followed by a loud sound, a sound similar to a gunshot or maybe it really is a gunshot. It got me nervous to what was happening outside, and so I had to know what was going on.
I've taken a peek at a corner to see how the boss was doing. And everyone is all over the place, they were all trying to charge into something—"Ren!!" They must be trying to beat the boss!
Most of those who tries to face him looks mad and eager to get back at him, but some were trying to run from here.
Then a shiver went down to my spine when I heard Ren yell out loud. "YOU'RE ALL PIECES OF WORTHLESS SHIT!" He didn't sound like himself at all… it's like he evolved into some kind of monster while taking down every person that approached him.
Witnessing how he single-handedly took care of every enemy that tried to kill us all, he truly has a monstrous strength that not anybody can deal with. It reminded me of the time I faced this guy and I knew from then that I can never win against someone like him.
There's no doubt that Ren has the potential to stand on top of everyone, and no one can drag him down… nothing can. And I hate to admit that it scares me to know where his potential can take him. The gang will follow the path he'll be walking down to, and that includes me.
Just imagining what kind of future awaits the Wild Beasts because of Ren's achievements, we will definitely have more enemies that wants to eliminate us.
'I don't want any part of that future.' Is what I instantly thought.
I may have hated myself before. I even thought that it didn't matter if I died because of this fights. But things changed… I began to want a better life.
These pointless violence, doing illegal stuff, making riots here and there… I never realized how low I've gotten until Lyde made me realize that there's more to life than a shitty self-destruction.
It also made me regret whenever I remember the times I was being a dedicated member of this gang. Those times were really wasted. It was stupid of me to do pointless things when I should have just done other things that I really like before.
And maybe if I was considered as a normal guy, I could have lots of real friends—maybe I'd be hanging out with Lyde and his friends. Maybe I'd be able to make good memoried and get over with the past. Maybe I could have been happier that way.

Ren's pov
It's over.
All those who dared to fight me were all down on the grounds unconscious, and some got to run away. All's that was left to do is finish off the assholes who started this.
Looking down on the three losers behind me, they were all wide awake now. "How was your fucking naps? You guys should've seen how it all happened." I presented the pile of bodies of their allies to them.
Fear carved into their damn faces, Elijah even started to freak out.
"Hmm, are you going to kill them?" Jin asked as he stood by my side.
"They were like rabid dogs who wanted to bite me. And everyone says that rabid dogs should be put down."
The three began to beg for their lives when I said that rabid dogs should be put down.
"No! NO! PLEASE! DON'T KILL ME! DON'T KILL ME!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
"SPARE ME! PLEASE, I WASN'T REALLY A PART OF THIS PLAN! THEY JUST DRAGGED ME ALONG!"
"Pff hahahaha!" I can't help but laugh. Look at these losers! They were trying so hard to make me feel despair and make me beg for my life earlier, but now they're the ones at my feet begging me to spare their pathetic lives. "And why the fuck should I show mercy to the three of you?" I snapped at them.
"Ren, please! Ren, I— I'm sorry! Please don't kill me! M-My mom! She still needs me, she's sick, she's s-sick! I-I need t-to take care of her! Please!—" Hades who kept leaning to my direction fell on his face. He kwpt crying like a baby.
"Tsk, keep your dignity man! You don't look pitiful at all. You're annoying! An. No. Ying!" I kicked his face which made him cry harder. That got me even more pissed off than I already was, so I had to kick him over and over until he can't utter a sound anymore.
"G-Gih, jih…" Elijah and the Black Winter guy seem to be biting their own tongues to stop themselves from ending up like Hades.
"How about the two of you? Is there anything you want to say?"
They were a little scared to speak up, but then the Black Winter guy suddenly had some courage. "R-Ren… please don't kill me. I, I'll… I'll serve you forever! I'll support you in anyway I can, s-so! So don't kill me! Please!"
"You're going to serve and support me? I don't even know who you are, I don't need your damn service!"
"Ren! Please don't—!" I kicked his face next, and I didn't realize that I put too much force on the kick. His head ended up hanging on a side abnormally, his head definitely got misplaced. "Ah, shit. I didn't mean to kill him for real."
This is the second time I killed someone directly. I don't know what I feel about this, or I may have nothing to feel about this at all.
Then it was finally Elijah's turn. He was silently crying. Obviously traumatized by witnessing someone's death beside him. "So? Any last words?" I asked.
"I-I…"
"Yeah?"
"I'm not the real enemy here!"
