The bounty Otto placed on Kyle's head made all the thugs in the club eager to be the one to defeat Kyle and collect the reward. Although they had seen him take out two bouncers that were E-rank metahumans, they didn't believe that he was capable of beating them all up at once because they outnumbered him, so they had the advantage in this fight.
Despite the pressure of fighting so many opponents at once, Kyle stood his ground unwaveringly. In fact he was very anxious to get this over with and take his mother back home, so his gaze was focused on Otto because he was the only reliable source in this room that could tell him where Big Joe was or where Natasha was being held captive.
One of the thugs became overconfident and dashed towards Kyle to attack him from his blind side in order to steal the win and collect the prize.
Without shifting his gaze Kyle launched a fireball towards him which blasted him away. As a result of this attack's immense power, all other thugs standing in that direction were caught in the crossfire and suffered serious injuries.
Even that portion of the bar was completely destroyed. Kyle didn't care about any of it, he was going all out and he wouldn't stop until he got his mother back.
Everyone's eyes were wide open after witnessing Kyle's attack, which made a strong statement. It meant that they weren't in this kid's league. The degree of power that was just displayed was beyond a D-rank which was the highest rank of metahuman in this district except Big Joe.
"None of you guys want to attack me so that I can finish all of this on time." Kyle commented.
"What the fuck are you all doing right now? Attack him all at once. If you defeat him, I promise that Big Joe will give you all ten thousand dollars as a reward." Otto yelled loudly.
The increase in reward was too tempting to ignore, so the thugs abandoned their logical reasoning because of greed. They all attacked Kyle at once just as Otto had advised.
Kyle evaded all of their attacks easily and scoffed at their miserable attempt to harm him. "Fools" he muttered.
Although he could easily launch another fireball to take out all of them, Kyle was furious when he launched the first fireball. But after seeing the damage, he resisted the urge to cast another. He was concerned that he might accidentally harm his mother since Natasha could be anywhere in this building.
Nonetheless, Kyle was still able to dominate this fight just with his physical stats.
Otto's facial expressions distorted multiple times as he watched the fight, unable to comprehend what he was witnessing. Particularly the fact that Kyle decimated everyone was not something he expected.
"That crazy bastard was right, this kid is on a whole other level. I have to report this to the boss right this instant." Otto mumbled before trying to make his way back up the stairs. His movement halted when a body landed in front of him blocking his path to the stairway.
Otto subconsciously turned around and gasped in shock. "Just...How on earth did he do all this?" Otto mumbled in fear. A second ago there were still a few thugs attacking Kyle, however they were all lying on the floor now.
"Where do you think you are off to?" Kyle noticed that Otto was trying to sneakily escape the fight. Rather than prolong the fight, Kyle used his windblades to slash the rest of his opponents.
"Did you think because I was in the middle of a fight I took my eyes off you?" Kyle slowly approached Otto.
"Don't come any closer to me." Otto tried to take a step backwards but he stumbled upon the body that was behind him which made him fall to the ground. "I said don't come any closer to me" he said to Kyle again.
"You're going to tell me where Big Joe is or else I'm."
"Big Joe is in the lounge upstairs, in the lounge." Otto blurted out before Kyle could complete his sentence. The pressure was too much for him to handle any longer.
Kyle picked Otto up by the collar of his shirt. "You're coming with me bastard."
Big Joe had been questioning Brute inside the lounge and was unaware of the disaster downstairs. He heard the noises but ignored them since it wasn't the first time a brawl had occurred in his club.
In fact brawls were frequent at his bar and he was confident that Otto would handle this one too just like he always handled the previous ones.
"Brute I'm writing to ask you one last time, how did you miss your target?" Big Joe asked.
"I...I...I gave Sir Otto the right information." Brute answered stammering.
"Well if you did, why have we been unable to find her?" Big Joe questioned.
The aura Big Joe was releasing made the pressure in the room high and it made him Brute shiver in fear.
"Well...Ummm...Boss it wasn't my fault that...."
BANG!!!
The loud noise of the door being forcefully opened interrupted Brute. It also caught Big Joe's attention because he was taken aback when he noticed that it was Otto lying on the floor.
Big Joe wondered who could possibly have done this to Otto. However, he didn't need to think for a long while when he saw the person that walked into the room.
Kyle walked into the room after he tossed Otto at the door, breaking it. He sighted Brute kneeling on the ground but his gaze was focused on Big Joe sitting on the sofa.
"Look who decided to pay a visit? I have been expecting you Kyle." Big Joe said with a cocky smile on his face.
"Where is she?" Kyle asked.
"Calm down boy; why don't you take a seat first?" Big Joe beckoned at the empty sofa right next to him "You and I have a lot to talk about."
"Does it look like I'm here to talk bullshit with you?" Kyle glared at Big Joe who was obviously not taking him seriously.
"Language kiddo, I might be your stepfather soon if things work out between your mother and I. Think about it Kyle; the respect you would earn by being my stepson. You want to protect the area where your mother's stall is located, I will give it to you as your own territory since you've proven your worth. So let's shake hands and forget the past."
Initially, Big Joe had planned to lure Kyle to him by kidnapping Natasha. He would order his boys to beat up Kyle who wouldn't dare to fight back because of his mother's safety. He'd then threaten to break Kyle's limbs if Natasha refused to marry him.
However he had to propose such a deal to Kyle because after discovering Kyle's potential he wanted to make him one of his subordinates by using Natasha as a bargaining chip. Although he didn't have Natasha in his custody, Kyle wasn't aware of that fact and he was planning to use this as an advantage.
After all Kyle cared about his mother so Big Joe was confident that Kyle would not reject his offer. While Kyle was stronger than before, Big Joe doubted Kyle could defeat him which was another factor that would ensure that Kyle would accept his offer.
"Are you done with the bullshit you're spouting?" Kyle asked.
"Good choice I know...wait, what did you just say?" Big Joe was caught off guard by Kyle's response because that wasn't the answer he was expecting.
"I don't give a damn about your territory or what you do, but just return my mother or else." Kyle said.
Big Joe became furious when he heard Kyle's comment. "Better be careful Kyle beating a bunch of lowlifes doesn't mean you're on my level. I extended my hand to you out of goodwill but you ridiculed me instead. You think your mother will be safe if you continue to be reckless, but it will be so much easier if you accept my request."
"I don't need to hold a filthy hand like yours and neither does my mom need your affection. It would be so much easier if you let go of your obsession for my mother and let her go. She doesn't need an overweight pig like you." Kyle replied curtly.
"You son of a bitch" Big Joe shouted and suddenly kicked the table standing right in front of him towards Kyle.
Kyle threw his fist at the table that flew towards him, which broke it into pieces. "It's gonna take more than that to put me down, so you better get serious because I'm serious right now." Kyle glared.
Big Joe slowly stood up from his seat. "You're just pissed me off Kid and I'm about to show you why Big Joe shouldn't be messed with"
Kyle and Big Joe were now standing face to face for a fight that none knew was going to start a new era for the entire district.
