Joey felt his bones shift, as the energy baptised his body. The change, though, undetectable in the eyes of others, filled his body with a wave of energy.
He was sure he could throw three jabs in time of one. Possibly, of greater strength.
He had no idea what the pendant was, but he couldn't feel it anywhere in his body. He tugged his arms and realized he was strapped on a bed.
Joey's eyes glanced over to the female doctor who stood in a corner of the room, she had a scared expression but she tried her best to stay calm.
She looked at him expecting him to start screaming again."I'm fine the pain stopped," Joey said as he tried to free himself, he never tried to pull off the metal cuffs to avoid scaring her.
After the cuffs came off, his body felt lighter, all his movements were unhindered and far from slow.
"Are you ok?" the doctor asked as she started examining him.
"Yes, my stomach hurts but that's about it," Joey said while flexing his arms. He tried to get used to the feeling of his body.
It was light and made him uncomfortable, but good. It would take some getting used to.
"Kid, I hate to say it but you're probably one of the only persons to drink dragon's blood and survive.
But that won't affect your life too much.
The confederation might ask you to do some tests, but that's it doesn't worry" that didn't make Joey feel any better, the government was too much of a hassle.
They were a bunch of people that had their eyes on their head.
The doctor saw the perplexed look on his face and mistaken it for disgust. She sighed then said "I see the confederation as a bunch of people sitting on their asses, but they make decisions that keep us alive.
So don't think poorly of them before you know them."
She gave a meaningful smile, with a pat on the shoulder, then she handed him some papers and left.
Joey looked at the papers and saw that it was his CT scans. He simply put it in his bag.
No sooner than later, Sina and company came in the room with their incessant bickering.
Sina never bothered to sheath her sword but kept it in her hand, she held it threateningly towards the ground.
With them came and menacing aura.
"Get up, we got paid. Let's leave" Sina spoke as she ordered Joey but Sajin wasn't having it "Try, Just try and leave here! I dare you to get up!" He shouted toward Joey threateningly.
His hair was swimming in the air and Joey could feel the heat through his skin.
Joey was no fool. Sina looked at him then he walked over to her. Sajin looked like his head was about to pop a vein, his teeth ground against each other and he was furious.
He raised his palm, he was ready to blow the room off this goddamn place.
Just then Lance stepped in. his arms turned into a tendril of water that looked like a tentacle.
The tentacle caught his arm burning with flames.
The steam instantly spread throughout the room.
"Sina, thank you for the business you have done today. I think it's better for you and your friend to take your leave. I hope this doesn't spoil our business"
Sina held Joey and walked him out of the room.
Mia and Nerou who were outside the warehouse were waiting to see if they could see the butcher to know if he knew who the Kid Notorious was. They never expected there to be so much of a commotion with Sajin. Nerou's bigger brother.
"What the hell is happening? Why is your brother so heated?" Mia asked as she looked at the spectacle. They looked at the spectacle from the side.
"I don't know, he looks upset at that lady. Who is she to make bro mad and still be alive?" Nerou was properly confused, Why not burn her up?
"I don't know, but I don't think he is our guy," Mia said pointing toward the boy getting dragged along, like a puppet. He easily tripped over his legs and he looked like a newborn deer.
"Tch, We came all the way over here to quarrel, let's leave. I doubt they will live much longer anyway. C'mon let's look, we finally have to leave. We can find KidNotorious from the cadet listing" Nerou gestured to Mia saying they were done and walked out of the warehouse.
The sun was soon to be setting and they needed to head back to their rooms.
"Sajin let it go, the boy had nothing in him. They weren't able to find anything inside the boy. Why are you so hell-bent on fighting Sina?" Lance said as he tried to hold back Sajin from fighting Sina which was no easy feat.
"I'm telling you, that fucker wasn't drinking blood. He ate something! We need to look at his shit!". Lance's face went black, Sajin saw what whatever he said sounded ridiculous.
He stopped his defiance then patted Lance on the shoulder "I am really glad that you were able to stop me from doing something stupid.
Thank you, I'm going to go and relax."
Lance was taken aback by the sudden 180 that his personality took. It was still better than him being angry.
Lance sighed with relief.
Sajin left the warehouse and went to his room. He tried to do research on Joey but nothing came up from his research, Just his information.
He sat on his bed where he took out his phone from the pocket and dialled a number.
The phone got connected then Sajin said "Let me talk to Enigma Feline". Shortly after the phone call was forwarded.
On the other side of the phone, a beautiful voice spoke "Well look what we have here. Someone from the 1st family is calling me? To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"I have someone I want dead. He's a kid about 15, he's a short lad but he works with Sina so you have to be clean and efficient. Send someone you trust."
"Hahaha, who could make Sajin so angry? worry not we will deliver his body to you. Give us anything that might help"
"I think he is an Orphan, but that is just a hunch"
".....I see, he could be a little slave to Enigma, don't you think?"
"This is strictly business. You bastards are scum! Don't try and talk like we're friends"
"Jeez, No fun. But whatever, I'll call you back with good news"
The phone toned and Sajin looked at the screen "If you won't tell me what you swallowed I will gut you and check for myself."
crrrk!
He crushed the phone destroying all evidence.
