"Die!" The yakuza member said as he slashed his katana downward, aiming for the head of the teenager.
The teenager just sat there, waiting for his impending doom but nothing happened to him.
"Hoh, a yakuza member eh?" A deep voice of a man said in english. The man's accent told the teenager that the man was definitely not American.
"Huh?" The teenager looked up, only to discover the yakuza member being held from behind with a knife held against his throat by a two meters tall man.
The yakuza member was disarmed. His katana is on the ground. The yakuza member did not dare to make a sound nor make a move as he was afraid that his throat might get slitted. The yakuza was sweating bullets.
"Oi, do you recognize this?" The two-meter tall man suddenly said in perfect Japanese as he showed the palm of his left unarmed hand. On the palm, there is a red skull tattoo and another tattoo that says "Crimson Skull".
The yakuza member's eyes went wide and he started shivering as he recognized the tattoo.
If the Yakuza was the largest crime syndicate in Japan then Crimson Skull was the largest crime syndicate in the Philippines.
The Yakuza and the Crimson Skull was in conflict right now. The Yakuza decided to spread its influence into the Philippines but this Crimson Skull never let them gain any influence.
The Yakuza's boss became angry due to this and ordered an all out war against Crimson Skull. One can often find in the streets of the big cities, a car filled with Crimson Skull members equipped with Kalashnikov rifles chasing another car filled with Yakuza members.
The war between the two syndicates was so intense that the news shown in tv was always about them. The war between the two syndicates always reached the headlines.
Due to this war between the syndicates, William learned Japanese as he was often sent by the syndicate's boss to negotiate.
William was the only one capable enough to escape an encirclement of yakuza members thus he was the one always sent to negotiate.
Just from this tattoo alone, the yakuza member knew that he won't survive. The yakuza tried to move and do something so that he can survive his impending doom.
Unfortunately, before the yakuza member can do anything at all; the man behind him immediately slit his throat.
[First Blood! 999 left alive!]
An announcement suddenly happened. Words made of fire appeared above where everyone can see it. The words were read by a loud coarse voice that everyone can hear.
Large amounts of blood gushed out of his throat as he fell lifeless to the ground, the blood forming a pool of blood in the ground.
The teenager who was in front of the yakuza member got blood all over his face and clothes.
"Damn! Now I'm dirty as fuck!" The teenager complained as he untangled himself and stood up.
"Hey man! Thank-" The teenager said as he approached the man before him. He was about to thank the man but he got interrupted as the man quickly moved behind him.
Now, he was in the same position as that yakuza member earlier.
"Don't move or you die." The man said coldly. The man never intended to save the teenager. For him, it was just another target.
Due to the the man's action, the teenager's hood fell down; showing all of his face.
The teenager sported a burst fade mohawk hairstyle with its top dyed blonde. His eyes were big and of emerald color. His jaw is well defined and his is nose straight. This teenager was quite handsome.
The teenager suddenly stopped and shivered as he recalled back what happened earlier to the yakuza member. He definitely didn't want his throat to be slit.
"Hey ma-man, yo-you speak english right?" The teenager said while stuttering due to the fear he felt.
"Yes, what about it?" The man replied coldly.
"He-Hey man, please spare me. I still have my mom and dad waiting for me at home.... please... I'll do anything for you... just please don't kill me..." The teenager said while sweating bullets.
"Anything? really?" The man replied.
"Ye-yes! Anything!" The teenager said.
"Alright, be my bait then." The man coldly said.
"B-bait?" The teenager said as he gulped.
"Yes, you got a problem with that?" The man said.
"N-no! None at all!" The teenager said immediately, afraid that the man might change his mind and quickly kill him off.
"Good! Lets start by you picking up that katana. After all, you don't have a proper weapon and i don't want my bait to die fast." The man coldly said as he pointed at the katana laying on the ground.
"Y-yes sir!" The teenager hurriedly went to the katana to pick it up. The moment he touched the katana, the katana disintegrated into motes of black light and disappeared.
"Hmm, looks like we can't use other people's weapons aside from the weapon given to us from the start." The man said.
"Speaking of weapons, didn't you have one?" The man immediately looked at the teenager.
"S-Sir, they only gave me two red yo-yos." The teenager said embarrassedly as he scratched his head. Others received weapons while he received a toy thus he was damn embarrassed.
"Yo-yos? Did you even check the yo-yos?" The man said coldly.
"Uhh, i did not" The teenager said as he immediately checked his yo-yos. He checked for anything out of the ordinary in the yo-yos.
The teenager threw the yoyo to the ground to have it spin in the air but what happened was unexpected, the yo-yos' did not spin in the air as its string was too long. Its string also looked abnormal as it shone a metal hue. Its string was actually a sharp and thin metal wire.
"Those definitely aren't regular yo-yos'. Those are yo-yos' made for killing people." The man said surprised.
"Do you know how to use them?" The man said coldy as he stared at the teenager.
"No, I don't even know how to use a yoyo for playing, much less killing people with it." The teenager said as he shrugged.
"Thats unfortunate. Looks like you'll be running full time then." The man said.
"Alright, follow me! Lets start the hunt!" The man said as he ran towards direction where the open plain is located.
"Wait a minute!" The teenager quickly shouted
"Huh? Whats the problem?" The man coldly said and looked at the teenager vigilantly. The moment the teenager tries anything funny, he will slit his throat.
"S-Sir, I just want to know your name. As I will be your bait from now on, I should at least know your name." The teenager said.
"Oh. My name's William. Now follow me!" The man coldly said as he ran.
"Nice to meet you Sir William! My name is Trekell Harvey! You can call me Trek!" Trek said as he followed William.
"Not interested. Stop talking and follow me!" William coldly said.
'Tsk! What an asshole' Trek said in his mind as he rolled his eyes.
'But damn! He's fast as fuck! I thought I was fast but compared to Sir William, I'm slow as fuck.' Trek said as he observed William in front of him running fast and avoiding obstacles agilely like they don't even exists.
Trek was in the track and field of his school and was the most fastest runner of their school.
So he was really surprised at William's speed as it looked like something you would only see in the olympics.
As they were running another announcement about how many people alive are left popped up in the sky.
[734 Alive. Time remaining: 19:35:01]
'Damn, 4 hours passed and hundreds of people already died' Trek said in his mind.
Moments later, they arrived near the open plains. William decided that they should stay in the woods.
They were only staying at the edge of the forest where they can see the situation in the plains.
William does not know if long range weapons exist. After all, just because guns are not allowed doesn't mean the bows aren't allowed too.
William watched the situation on plains on top a tall tree. Trek was on top of tree beside his tree, doing the same thing as him. William's eyes was above normal and he can see further than the eyes of an average man.
There are twenty people fighting each other on the plains. They were grouped into two. One was a group of gang members with vulture tattoos on their shoulders. They each wore a white tank top and cargo pants. Some were different than the others as they have accessories.
William recognized this gang. This was just a low tier gang in his country that consisted 100 members. The gang's name was "Vulture". This gang was quite infamous as they were all responsible for the r*pe cases happening in the Philippines.
The other group was a group of only women. They wore pink Chinese hanfu clothing for women. Golden Chinese words are engraved on the top left of their clothing, above the chest.
Unfortunately, William did not know mandarin nor does he know the writing system of China thus he did not know what was written on the women's clothing.
The women wearing pink hanfu clothing each wielded twin daggers.
The women were quite outnumbered. The women numbered six while the gang members numbered fourteen.
"Sir William, should we help those women?" Trek asked William. He was worried for those women. He can't imagine what those gang members will do to those women. Trek believed in chivalry. Trek believed in protecting the weak, the elderly, and the women.
"No, those women aren't weak as you think they are." William said as he pointed to the area in the plains where the gang members and the women in pink hanfu clothing were fighting.
Trek quickly looked at where the women was again. His mouth gaped as he was shocked by what he saw.
