"... I can use someone like you"
Pati can feel Abby's grip on his ankle becomes tighter hearing what he just said, and this can't help but makes him look at Abby in amusement. The way she shivers looks really good, it's weird but he kind of like seeing her scared.
While still looking down to the ground, Abby then mutters, "Don't kill me and I'll do anything"
"Alright, you got my mercy for now but you will lead me to your hideout. I'm going to have fun killing your friends there and get their Chaos", Pati replied, the word kill leaving his mouth easily.
Hearing this, Abby looks up in worry, "There are innocent there, please don't kill them too"
"Their lives are already hard enough because of the taxes and sometimes they even become a human shield for the Boss, so don't hurt them. It's not going to give you anything at all", she added.
Without even answering Abby, Pati turns around and started walking away.
Pati didn't even glance back and kept walking towards where the sniper he killed should be, he will need to eat the sniper's brain in order to gain the Chaos. But this makes Abby looks at his back with narrowed eyes.
She saw that Pati kept walking and he was already far enough for her to actually escape.
'This is my chance!', Abby exclaimed inside her head but when she was about to run away, her body stopped remembering how quickly Pati reached her and Erry before.
Running away from him is actually useless unless there's a really good opportunity.
Upon remembering that Abby takes back her intention to run away and looks back at Pati who is getting further away, she's unwilling to be a part of a man that eats human brains for fun but what choice does she have?
Many of the Walkers around the place started crowding her, and this makes her confused.
'Wait... why are the Walkers crowding me now?', Abby thought in disbelief.
Looking back at Pati whom the Walker utterly ignored, Abby was flabbergasted since any living being that the Walkers see, hear, or feel will be attacked regardless of who they are. But it seems that rule doesn't apply to Pati, "Just who is he...", she thought out loud.
Growl!
Roar!
Her train of thoughts was disturbed seeing the Walkers nearing her, she stood up hurriedly before running after Pati that already entered a building to devour the sniper's brain.
A moment later,
Pati is already near the restaurant where the others are in.
Although his clothes are tattered with blood decorating the side of his face coming from his ears that are bleeding, the smile on his face can't be hidden seeing the status window that is opened in front of his vision.

From the status window, it's obvious why Pati is smiling like a madman.
Killing two of Abby's friends and also getting all of the Chaos that Abby has, Pati's Chaos now sits at a hefty 43,720 which is the most Chaos he ever had in a specific amount of time. This alone makes him eager to keep on killing the rest of Abby's friends and devouring their brains.
Not only does he wants the ridiculous Chaos they have, but he's also quite hungry already.
'They're basically a walking bag of Chaos, I need to get to them before anybody can', Pati thought determinedly but he's not in a rush since his Hp is sitting at 700 and he's tried, asking Dinda to heal him first before moving will be the best course of action.
Despite his hp being at 700, Pati didn't feel as hurt as before.
Amongst all of the skills in his arsenal there are none that should be able to raise his hp, and regenerating hp that fast should be too good to be true so there's only one explanation.
His hp increase from eating brains, there's no doubt about it.
The system didn't give him any message about the increase in hp but the system might treat it as a hp regeneration so it doesn't broadcast it, but either way, it's a good thing to know.
"Where are we going? Do you also have a group of your own?", Abby asks from the side.
Pati used his pinky finger to pick on his bloodied ears that were somehow miraculously still able to hear after what happened to him, he then replied nonchalantly, "Something like that"
"Why do you care anyway? You're just a slave", he added giving Abby a smirk.
Upon hearing what Pati referred to her, Abby closed her mouth shut realizing that Pati looks at her as nothing more than a slave. The thought of running away is there but she's already way too late, they're already in front of a restaurant.
If Pati really did have a group of his own, the people there should all be lunatics.
For them to join the group willingly means that they're okay with Pati eating brains, it's something that no normal and sane people would be okay with, 'Maybe... just maybe they're all a group of cannibals that likes to eat people'
Abby feels a shiver crawling up her spine thinking that she will meet a cult of cannibalism.
The people that she pictured inside her head scared her really much that she started to sweat bullets, each step nearing the door becomes heavier and heavier from expecting the worst.
Although she tries to hide it, Pati can hear her footsteps slowing down.
Looking back at Abby, Pati finds her expression has already paler than a Vampire which is funny.
Pati shakes his head and opened the door,
The others glanced at the door and saw Pati with his bloodied looks followed by a woman from behind, Jeff's eyes are glued to Abby since her proportions are smoking even from a glance. Her kind of proportions is only possessed by those who are older than them.
Her air of maturity that college students don't have coupled with her perfect proportions with curves in the right places can make any guy looking at her drool.
"She's so freaking ho-", Jeff stopped mid-sentence seeing Salsa turning her head away.
Just as quick as her eyes widen upon seeing Abby, Jeff then went closer to Salsa and quickly recover himself, "I mean, where did Pati get that girl from? Now that I see her closer, her face is wrinkling. What is she, 40 years old?"
Even though Jeff tries to cover for himself, Salsa clearly doesn't buy it at all.
Abby doesn't have any wrinkles and in fact, her face is still glowing. But of course, the one that is shocked the most was Dinda who didn't expect Pati brought back a woman, especially a beautiful one.
"Jeff... ready the grill, we're eating meat tonight", Pati suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Jeff was confused but seeing Pati's meaningful look makes him decide to follow along, "Got my axes right here, lay her down on the table. As usual, I'll take her leg"
The girls were confused at first hearing what Pati and Jeff are discussing.
Both of them glanced back at Jeff and Pati repeatedly before their eyes falls onto Abby, her body is shaking visibly while looking down with a pale expression. It's clear that Pati and Jeff are messing with her, "A bunch of assholes", Dinda utters coupled with a wry smile from Salsa.
"They're just playing with you, don't make them too happy bullying you"
Abby who heard this hesitantly lifts her head up and saw Dinda looking at her, she then glanced slowly at Pati before finding his face wobbles trying to keep on a straight face.
Just as soon as she saw this, Abby immediately realized that she was being teased.
Seeing the straight face on her face realizing that she's not actually going to be cut to pieces and eaten makes Jeff the first one to burst into laughter, and this makes Pati also cracks into laughter as both of them find Abby really fun to tease.
There's just something about her expression that made her so fun to tease, and it's not just Pati that feels that way as Jeff also feels the same.
"Where did you get this girl, Pati?", Jeff said with a chuckle while saying that.
Pati wipe his teary eyes from laughing too much, "She tries to steal my things and I pursued her and her friends, we're going to make a stop before going to the Ivory Posse Gang", he replied.
Hearing them making fun of her, Abby is clearly annoyed.
Unknown to her the annoyed expression she's wearing is exactly why Pati did that, it's fun to tease her like this and see her reaction.
But just as he said that the leader who is watching this silently gazes at Abby with a frown.
"Abby...?", the leader mutters hesitantly.
Upon hearing her name being called, Abby glanced to the side with a pouting expression because of getting teased by Pati and Jeff whom she just met. Her eyes opened wide recognizing the leader, "Kian...? Aren't you supposed to be with Mathian? How come you're here?"
"What are you doing here?", Abby asks in confusion.
From just looking at the leader for a moment, Abby instantly recognizes the leader as Kian.
Abby saw Kian is in a bad state from looking at the area around his chest that is already wet with blood, it was the work of Pati earlier stabbing and pinning him on the ground with his sword.
Giving Abby a wry smile, Kian glanced at Pati that are looking at both of them.
"Oh, right...", Abby mutters realizing that Kian is also unfortunate enough to meet a monster like Pati, she also met the same unfortunate event and ended up here with him.
Kian realized that Pati is looking at him with a questioning look as if his look is asking how did he know Abby like this, he then finally explained knowing that Pati is pretty unstable and can burst at a time, "Abby is a former member of the Ivory Posse Gang but decided to leave and follow Dio, I've known her from there"
"Wait... despite knowing Ivory Posse Gang he still captures you guys?", Abby asks in disbelief.
Hearing this Kian nodded his head in confirmation, he then replied, "Pati over there wanted me to lead him to the Ivory Posse Gang main base, he's going to take the entire gang down..."
Although Abby knows Pati is strong, she can't help but suck in a cold breath.
But then again thinking about how powerful Pati was before despite having just fought against the screamer, Abby doesn't even question him since he has the strength to back up what he claims. It's the demeanor of the strong, nobody can argue against the strong.
Just like in the Ivory Posse Gang, Mathian is the absolute leader there.
Armed with heavy weaponry and also has the fighting prowess of an athlete and also enhanced by Chaos gained from those under him, he rules over his gang with absolute authority.
"Don't worry, after you lead me to your bases then I'll let you go", Pati replied.
After saying that Pati went over to the man carrying the bag containing the harvested brains before he signals for Abby to follow him with his hand, he leads Abby to the second floor walking past the others that are looking at him in confusion.
But halfway ascending the stairs, Pati then said, "Jeff, make sure nobody goes upstairs"
"I can't do much but I'll try", Jeff replied seeing Dinda gazing at Pati with a troubled look.
Without minding the others, Pati went upstairs followed by Abby that is obediently followed after him from behind without any kind of resistance. Despite her helpless look, her heart is pounding wondering what will Pati make her do upstairs.
A moment later,
The day is already turned darker as the night embraces the sky with darkness.
It's been ten minutes since Pati and Abby went upstairs without a clear reason. Pati can just eat the harvested brains on the first floor or even alone, there's no need for him to go upstairs.
Everybody doesn't think much about it, but Dinda clearly stressing out.
From the ten minutes, Dinda had already stolen glances to the second floor for the hundredth time with her leg moving up and down under the table. She is clearly stressed even biting her thumb nails unable to hide her uneasiness.
Looking at this, Salsa finally open her mouth, "If you're troubled by it, just go upstairs"
"Pati looks to be hurt when he got back, just go upstairs with the excuse of healing him. I fear that you might die from uneasiness if you stay here for long", she added.
Hearing this, Dinda can't hold herself anymore and stood up.
Jeff who saw Dinda suddenly stood up and wanted to warn her from going upstairs but received a glare from Salsa, this makes him smile wryly and decide to not try and stop Dinda.
While slowly ascending the stairs, Dinda's heart is beating faster.
Halfway through the stairs, she can already hear a subtle moan coming from the second floor.
"Right there, whoa! That hits the spot"
"Keep going..."
Dinda heard Pati's voice that seems to contain pleasure beyond measure, she unconsciously gripped the handle of the stairs as she has never heard Pati's voice anywhere near the softness of the ones she was hearing right now.
"You're really good at this... I know it from a glance that you're going to be good"
"Those girls downstairs wouldn't be able to do what you do and how you do it"
Having enough of listening to whatever Pati and Abby are doing, Dinda braces herself and takes a couple more steps before she finally reaches the second floor.
Upon stepping onto the second floor, her eyes widen upon seeing the scene.
In front of her vision, she saw Pati lying topless on his chest on a table with Abby on his side. Dinda can see Abby massaging his back while occasionally feeding the harvested Brains into his mouth using a steel fork from the restaurant.
Although she expected other things, this also surprised her.
Pati who is enjoying the massage from Abby with his body stiff from all the fighting especially against the Three-eyed Screamer before shifted his head position with drowsy eyes, but then saw Dinda standing by the stairs, "Jeff you mother fucker, I told you to not let anyone go upstairs!"
"I swear I tried!", Jeff shouted from downstairs.
Hearing this, Pati rolled his eyes knowing that he clearly doesn't try at all.
Focusing back his eyes on Dinda who is stunned at her place, Pati then suddenly realizes something, "Why are you here Dinda? Could it be that you're jealous of Abby...?"
Dinda bit her lips upon hearing this,
Looking at the reluctant expression on Dinda's face makes Pati's smile even wider spreading from ear to ear, he then decided to take it a step further and grabs Abby's curvy waist, "Can you not disturb my private time with Abby here? As you can see, we're busy"
"I'm not jealous of her, I'm just checking if you're hurt", Dinda defended herself.
Her expression clearly shows the real answer, and this made Pati shrugs his shoulders, "Yeah, sure. I'm fine so you can go back down now", he said while signaling to Dinda to go back down with his hand.
This sparks a pout from Dinda, "I'm just being considerate, hmph!"
But just as she said that a message from the system suddenly appeared in front of everyone's vision that attracted all of their attention, it made all of them frown.
