Chapter 61: Battle!
Aakesh was unaware that his menacing expression looked weird and proceeded forward. If not for his high agility, his body reflexes wouldn't have been quick enough to play with the gun.
It was an ordinary grade revolver that shot ordinary level bullets.
"Where is Ravesh?" Aakesh asked as he pointed the gun at the man's head.
The man looked frightened as he tried to speak, but due to the cloth, only jumbled words rang in the area.
Aakesh seemed not to see the clothes in the man's mouth as he moved the gun, pointed at the man's thighs, and fired.
Aakesh looked dumbfounded at the scene as the bullet missed its mark, but fortunately for him, it grazed the man's skin, forcing him to cry in pain.
Only then did Aakesh seem to sense the cloth and take it out. Jatin wanted to curse the man, but before he could, he felt the cold muzzle touch his forehead.
"This way, the bullet won't miss its mark," Aakesh commented right after that.
"So now, tell me, where is Ravesh?" Aakesh asked.
Ravesh was the name of the merchant's son.
"I don-"
Boom!
Before Jatin could even complete his answer, Aakesh pointed the gun at his thighs and fired. This time, the muzzle was in contact with the skin, so the bullet didn't miss.
"Only answers," Aakesh stated as he pointed the bloody muzzle at Jatin's forehead again.
Tears appeared in Jatin's eyes as he truly didn't know where the kid was. He didn't feel any guilt in betraying the gang, so he had decided to answer honestly from the moment he woke up. Unfortunately, the man in front of him was extremely domineering.
"I truly-"
Boom!
'Why are you making me torture you?' Aakesh screamed in his heart as he didn't like the scene in front of him. It was the only way to know answers, so he resorted to this.
The next moment, Aakesh froze as Jatin began to cry like a child, complaining about how he didn't actually know, but Aakesh was still attacking him.
Aakesh felt like a villain at that moment, as his actions made an adult man cry like a child.
"Stop crying!" Aakesh controlled the uncomfortable feeling and ordered, pointing the muzzle at the man's forehead.
"Who will know about the location of Ravesh, and where will I find him?" Aakesh asked.
Jatin immediately stopped crying and gave a home address to Aakesh.
"Is he telling the truth?"
Aakesh mumbled and flipped the coin. This time, the coin didn't stand like the last time, but the palace appeared on the side facing him, implying that the man was speaking the truth.
Aakesh then asked a few more questions and let Jatin leave the area as he hadn't committed any serious crimes and was only new in the gang.

"Where is Ravesh?" Aakesh asked the man as he lay there in terrible condition.
Following the address given to him by Jatin, Aakesh found the house and found a couple in action there. Both the members belonged to the gang, and Aakesh also found something interesting about it. The lady was the wife of the gang leader and was cuckolding him.
In the fear of Aakesh telling the gang leader about the affair between the man and the wife, the man answered everything truthfully.
Before leaving the house, Aakesh decided to end the man's life. The man was too evil to be left alive. As for the woman, Aakesh left her alive, as she would help him reach the kid safely.
***
The gang leader lived with his wife and thirteen-year-old son in a well-established area. When Aakesh reached there with his wife, he didn't find the man there.
He found Ravesh, who was kept in the basement, while the son of the woman was hitting him with a stick.
Aakesh frowned when he saw a thirteen-year-old kid hitting an eight-year-old kid this brutally and laughing about it. Aakesh couldn't fall to an extent where he would kill a child, so he decided to hand the kid over to the city guards once he safely rescued Ravesh.
Aakesh freed Ravesh and left the house. The quest had been going entirely well, but when Aakesh reached the door, he found a middle-aged man waiting there for him.
Aakesh froze in his steps, and a sense of danger attacked him when he saw the man.
The man was none other than the gang leader, who was now level 20. It was a man who looked to be in his late thirties and nothing like a gang leader. The man was wearing a dark brown suit.
"Where are my wife and son?" The gang leader didn't immediately make a move but asked since Aakesh came from inside the house.
Aakesh didn't have to answer as the man's son came up crying. When the man saw his son crying, a wave of anger appeared in his heart.
"How dare you make my son cry?" The man growled and pounced.
Aakesh couldn't let any harm come to Ravesh, so he pushed him toward the sofa and clashed with the gang leader.
The gang leader won the first clash and knocked Aakesh several meters backward. At that time, the wife had also entered the hall. Her eyes had a menacing glare when she saw Aakesh getting pushed back.
Because of what he did to her lover, she hated Aakesh more than anything.
The gang leader had a mocking smile when he saw Aakesh easily get pushed back. The level difference between the two was 10 levels, which was a huge gap, so Aakesh knew the battle was going to be difficult for him.
The gang leader seemed to be someone with physical class, so his strength was not low either.
Time flew by, and the battle went on. The strength difference between the two parties wasn't much, as the man also had strength stats over 50.
Aakesh was not confident of winning the fight since the man was clearly a better fighter than him, and Aakesh's overwhelming attributes didn't help him in this situation.
Since Aakesh was not a good person, he decided to play dirty.
"Your wife is sleeping with Pasit!" Aakesh announced it suddenly, shocking the gang leader and his wife.
The gang leader stopped his actions and looked at his wife. When he saw her guiltily moving her eyes away, his eyes turned red from rage.
But before the man could react, Aakesh punched.
