Dodging a bottle being thrown at him and grabbing a man's neck, he threw him through a window.
Moving his head to the side, he dodged the blow of someone who was attacking him from behind and then grabbed the arm and made a judo movement, slamming his attacker against a table, breaking it.
'How the fuck did we come to this....'Adryan thought somewhat surprised as he gave a roundhouse kick to someone who tried to jump on him sending the bastard flying.
Turning his head, he saw how a somewhat short figure had just hit the head of a man against the wall, knocking out the poor man, and then was grabbed from behind, but she elbowed her attacker's chest, who released her, the figure then grabbed a bottle which she used to hit the man's head knocking him out as well and breaking the bottle.
Looking around he was slowly being surrounded by 5 men who had drawn knives and were watching him waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Letting out a laugh, Adryan spread his arms and spoke mockingly while aproaching slowly towards them.
"Come on cowards I hope you know how to use that!!"
....
Going back in time to a half an hour before, a masked Adryan and a hooded Xio were at the agreed location yesterday.
After leaving the alley Adryan continued to watch over Nathan and so he repeated the same on Wednesday morning till the Clown went back home.
He didn't have classes with Isengar because the detective had given him two weeks off the last time he went to see him...
Looking at the disguise Xio was wearing to hide her identity, Adryan nodded.
'The scarf she's wearing helps to cover her more delicate features while those boots help a lot with her height part although I wonder if she uses them in her day to day'
Seeing as there was still time, Adryan decided to ask a question to pass the time and also answer his doubts.
"Miss, I have a question, wouldn't the men you knocked out yesterday inform the other members that we are looking for their leader?"
Xio shook her head as she took out her triangle sword and looked at it.
"After leaving the alley I went to look for the police who took them away, those guys were wanted by them and they had a good reward on their head so now they are behind bars without being able to inform anyone"
Releasing a quieter sigh, Adryan leaned against the wall.
"That's good to hear. I was worried that leaving them alive was a bad idea."
Not caring about the masked man's dark words, Xio put away her sword as she went deeper into the alley.
"The time that he most frequents the blue bar is coming, we have to move"
Turning away from the wall, Adryan just followed Xio deeper into the alley until darkness enveloped the two of them.
.....
On the red street where the street girls were already paid to go to some cheap motel, where the drunks were passed out from drinking so much, where in the alleys other homeless were taking some drug and where the workers had to go through to get to their houses while their eyes were death.
This was one of the streets most traveled by the poor of Backlund and where the police had the least control, who reigned here were the gangs.
In the middle of between two motels there was a bar, this was the Blue Bar, one of the most popular bars in the East Borough due to its cheap alcohol that allowed workers to get drunk even with their low wages.
Observing the bar from the alley, Adryan had just heard from Xio all the details of this street and he could only clench his fist tightly.
Looking coldly as a girl who didn't seem to be more than 14 years old hugged the arm of a man who could be her grandfather together they entered one of the motels next to the bar.
Xio who was observing the masked man could only sigh having observed the same thing.
"Families here don't earn enough so with no other option the women in the family become street girls to earn more money"
Watching as another girl accompanied another man to the motel, Xio's tone turned darker.
"These women can only continue in this life until they get out of here but because they have to put up with all kinds of treatment that almost never happens, they end up being killed by some drunk who was too hard on them or they end up disappearing never to be found. "
'And there are still other streets like this in the East Borough...'
Looking at how this street was a place of so much suffering, Adryan's eyes clouded slightly.
'It is no surprise that the True Creator has tried to use the suffering and corruption of this place to descend.
Roselle's words couldn't be more wise, Backlund is a huge time bomb for the descent of an evil God'
Thinking of Emperor Caesar, Adryan turned his cloudy gaze to the side and his eyes focused on a person.
"Mr. Holmes..." Xio's serious voice sounded at his side and Adryan answered with a deep voice.
"I saw it Miss"
A thin man with sunken eyes and a scar on his left eye was walking on the other side of the street with his arm wrapped around a street girl who was doing her best not to scowl.
The two of them entered the bar, Xio and Adryan looked at each other and nodded and moved on their way to the blue bar.
The workers made way to let these strange people pass and gave them a few glances.
Arriving at the door of the bar Xio entered first being followed by Adryan who looked around the bar.
The one named Billy was sitting to one side with the girl sitting on his lap who hugged and kissed the man's neck while he drank.
Xio she moved to reach for the table and smack it with her palm as she stood up straight and looked at the surprised man.
"Billy Brown, you're coming with us"
"That was a bad move miss" Adryan said as he watched as several people got up from their places and started to approached them.
Billy's expression went from surprise to fury.
"Who do you think you are to talk to me like that bitch!!" his voice was harsh and his breath horrible.
The woman who was in his lap got up a bit scared and tried to leave the place but was stopped by Adryan.
Looking alarmed at whoever held her arm, the woman was going to scream but saw how the man delicately opened her hand and placed something in it.
"Sorry for the inconvenience miss please have this"
The masked man released her and the woman put her hand to her chest, looking suspiciously at the man.
Opening her hand slightly the woman widened her eyes in shock and looked back at the man.
"Sir..." trying to speak the woman was interrupted by Xio's voice.
"You will come with us whether you like it or not"
Watching and knowing where this was going, Adryan just stood in front of the woman with his back to her and spoke.
"You better go miss things are about to get ugly"
Looking at the man's back, she just nodded and quickly left the bar.
"Thank you..." the woman spoke weakly before leaving without knowing if she was heard.
Clenched tightly in her fist was a 10 pound note....
