Kyle wasn't too surprised by how things turned out yet again. In fact, he was thrilled by the whole scenario.
Ever since his awakening Kyle had a change of personality. The very thought of fighting made him happy and both Slick and Brute were actually giving him what he wanted.
On the other hand, Slick and Brute surrounded Kyle on both sides. Their body language gave the impression that they had outnumbered him by forming an alliance with one another.
Slick might have a broken arm but he was still very capable of fighting. Brute was also able to regain some of his lost stamina during the time he was negotiating with Brute to team up with him.
"Give it a rest now Kyle, you've been outnumbered." Brute proudly suggested.
"Yes, the most intelligent choice you have is to surrender. You might have been able to take all of us down one by one but when Brute and I team up together, there is absolutely no way that you have a chance of attaining a victory against us." Slick added.
"It is undeniable that you have significant talent and if you fall down on your knees to apologize we might also give you a spot to be a member of our crew."
Kyle chuckled lightly. "Typical Dumb Slick's and Cunning Brute. I can't say that I'm surprised honestly I would be disappointed if things didn't turn out this way but I'm afraid that I have to refuse that invitation."
"You're such a fool, turning down an opportunity that would change your life and grant you power." Slick hissed at Kyle's refusal to join their gang.
"Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not greedy like you both and I also don't think changing my human nature to join circus animals will do me any favors." Kyle responded nonchalantly.
"I'll make sure you pay for all this humiliation that you have given me today." Brute swore.
"Are you just going to stand there and keep talking all day?" Kyle ignored their blabbering and took a fighting stance.
"You're going to regret this for the rest of your life Kyle" Slick roared as he launched himself at Kyle.
As Slick's punch flew toward Kyle, Kyle conveniently stopped it and twisted his arm backward, dislocating his shoulder.
"Arrrgh..." Slick screamed again from the pain of having his other arm broken.
However Kyle didn't stop there. He continued by breaking all of Slick's fingers in one go without hesitation. In addition, Kyle shattered both of Slick's legs and rendered him completely disabled.
The view was so terrifying to watch and Brute was so dumbfounded by how the entire situation turned badly for him in a single moment.
"I'm waiting Brute." Kyle turned around to look at who was standing behind him.
Brute had fear all over his face and he didn't realize he had taken a few steps back when his eyes met Kyle's.
"I actually thought you were smart but it just turned out that you were a just a delusional idiot and now I just discovered that you are also a coward and a loser."
Kyle slowly and confidently approached Brute as he spoke. As he walked closer Brute could feel the strong and choking aura Kyle was emanating.
"Don't..... Don't come any closer to me" Brute began to stutter as he spoke
Swoooooooosh.....
Kyle dashed right in front of Brute. "Or what?" he said while grabbing Brute by the collar.
As soon as Kyle grabbed Brute's shirt, he began landing a series of blows on his face. After several rounds of relentless beating, Kyle finally decided to stop beating Brute.
Brute's jaws were completely broken, most of his teeth had fallen and his eyes were too swollen to be functional.
"I will stop here for today but if I ever see you or any of your gang members in the entire neighborhood ever again....." Kyle placed his hand on Brute's left shoulder that was already broken and squeezed it hard.
"....It won't just end like this, I will definitely break all the bones in your ribs one by one and I will definitely then I am going to hang you upside-down in this street for everyone to see how pathetic you are." Kyle added
Kyle released Brute from his grasp and turned around to walk away from the spot.
There were several injured bodies lying on the ground and the one responsible for it all was none other than Kyle.
Two weeks ago, this seventeen-year-old was just a weakling, but today he had just overpowered and defeated a group of street thugs all by himself and under the watchful gaze of everyone present Kyle slowly walked towards his mother.
Natasha watched in amazement as her son was able to defeat Slick and his crew so easily. This was unbelievable, but she was thrilled to learn that Kyle was no longer limited by his disease.
She already had suspicions when the doctor mentioned how quickly Kyle recovered from the accident. However, she didn't want to pry too much and waited until Kyle decided to talk about it first.
Natasha could never imagine that her son would be capable of such incredible feats, althogh she wasn't surprised that Kyle had awakened but she so shocked at his prowess and was also worried about the consequences of Kyle's actions at the same time.
Kyle stood in front of his mother and asked "Are you okay mom?"
Natasha nodded in response.
"What about you son? Did you get hurt anywhere?" Natasha asked in return while taking a glance at Kyle's body.
"No mom, I promise and don't touch me too much because the blood isn't mine." Kyle smiled and took a step back to avoid Natasha hands from reaching him.
"Mom I think we should go home earlier today, don't you think?" Kyle suggested.
"Hmmhmm." Natasha agreed with Kyle "....let's go home early today and besides I still have to go get groceries to make dinner for us."
"Forget it mom, just let's pack a few side dishes home and you can do that tomorrow"
"Okay" Natasha hurriedly into the stall to pack her bags and the side dishes she had prepared earlier today while Kyle waited outside.
Before Natasha returned many people had already gathered in front of the stall. "I'm sorry everyone but we're closing early today. Please come back another time."
Kyle laughed. "No mom they aren't here as customers, they only wanted to appreciate what I did today about the gangs." Kyle explained with a smile on his face.
"That's right Mrs. Kingston, your son was very heroic today and we just really wanted to tell him thank you and also congratulate him on his awakening" one elderly woman who looked to be in her sixties spoke.
Natasha recognized the woman as one of the traders who owned a stall a few meters away from hers.
"Hello Mrs. Harrison, you didn't have to bother to do all this but I really appreciate this." Natasha responded politely.
Mrs. Harrison smiled in return. " What do you mean? In all our years that have been spent here this is the first time we have seen such a scene where these lousy good for nothing got a taste of their own medicine and I believe this would shut them up for a while."
"But most importantly, some people here said they noticed that you finally cleared your debt but you used up all your funds to achieve that. Moreover, your stall is a little bit damaged from the ruckus. As a sign of gratitude we would like to offer you this small amount of cash."
Natasha had completely forgotten that she had spent all the money paying back the debt earlier and now she was totally broke.
However she was much more stunned by the generosity she was receiving from all these people who were donating their hard earned money to her out of goodwill.
"Thank you, but I simply cannot take this...." Natasha was suddenly interrupted by Mrs. Harrison.
"Yes you can Natasha, besides if your son hadn't defended us against those lowlifes we would have given this away freely. So, on behalf of everyone, please take this money," Mrs. Harrison gestured to Natasha.
"Come on mom, just accept it and appreciate their generosity" Kyle interjected after seeing Natasha was very hesitant.
Natasha was unable to refute Kyle, therefore she finally agreed to take the money.
"Thank you very much". both Natasha and Kyle bowed to appreciate everyone
"No, we should be thankful to you instead because today our wish was granted...." Mrs. Harrison then shifted her gaze to Kyle "....thank you once again Kyle and try not to overdo it" She sincerely advised.
"I won't ma'am."
"I can see it in your eyes that you're very trustworthy, so I believe in you son."
After all the pleasantries were done, everyone returned to their normal routine. Kyle and Natasha also locked the doors to the stall and headed home.
