"What." They asked.
The guy pointing a gun at me got taken down. The man who helped me came forward with a gun pointing at those ten guys and shooting them one by one before they could process. The corpses fell on the ground one by one, the scenery looked satisfying. I sighed but stood straight realizing a stranger helped me. I didn't have much time to thank him, a huge and muscular dude ran towards me out of nowhere. He threw a punch which I managed to do by an inch. I blocked his kick and punched his gut. Without giving him time to recover I land multiple punches on his nose making him back away in pain. His nose is bleeding. I stabbed his neck while he was distracted by the pain.
I took a deep breath calming myself down. That was epic. I glance back at the guy who helped me, he grabbed the person attacking him by his beck and snapped it with no emotions on his face. His punch and kick are brutal. His end motive to fight is to kill the other person.
Interesting.
His hair is fluffy brown while his eyes are reddish brown with very fair skin. He is wearing only a t-shirt and jeans which are exposing the tattoos on his harm, his muscles bulging out. Honestly, this guy looks heavenly. I had never seen someone as beautiful as him. He approached me.
He looks like my type and his tattoos got my attention.
"Are you okay? I came to help. I don't want to harm you." He said in his angelic tone. Wow, I had never seen him around.
"Thanks. I owe you this much. Who are you?" I ask. He smiled. My heart felt warm.
"I am Deo. You shouldn't be out here at this time, it's dangerous."
Deo. I like the name.
"I am doing my work, got in trouble due to my recklessness."
"Alright, let me help you then. I can keep you company and make sure you are safe."
I was a bit surprised. Even though it feels like I have known him for years I am sure it's the first time I met him. Help from a stranger. That's not how this world works. But then again he already helped me.
"I don't understand why you will risk your life. And considering your skills it feels like you are in a gang. Do you want something from me?" I asked suspiciously.
Reading his body language I didn't think he had any intention to harm me. And his expression is blank leaving the smile he gave me. I am not getting any bad vibes from him. Overall he is fine but he might be hiding his intention.
Deo tilted his head lost in his thoughts.
"Yes I am associated with a gang but I am not much interested in such stuff. I promise I want nothing from you it's just that someone taught me to help women no matter how strong they are." He explained.
His sincerity made me believe in him. It's not like we will meet every day. I smiled at him.
"Thanks once again Deo, I need to head to a different location. Bye."
"Wait." I paused. "Let me help you. You saw my skills and I am no harm." Deo added.
Although it doesn't matter getting help is good, maybe I can eliminate more people with him on my side. I can assess him well by having him with me. With a nod, I turn around and walk towards my second destination.
"Let's get going, we have lots of trash to deal with," I said.
"Can you tell me why are you hunting them?" His question paused me. I glance at him.
"To prove myself."
"To whom?"
"Prove my grandfather and people I am capable of being a leader."
"I like your answer you have my support."
I chuckle with no humor in my tone. He took it well.
"I am sick of rules made by Elite families. It's time for change. I will drag Elite families down." I said with no emotions in my tone.
His lips twitch up. Just an inch but enough for me to know he is pleased with me.
Later at night, I was able to deal with more people than I intended to. My people are done with their tasks too and most of them clean up the mess we made. Checking the time I glanced at Deo. He is very talented with his skills, I like him.
"Let me offer you a meal with me. You did a good job by the way." I said.
Deo nods following me. We settled in a smaller but fancier restaurant. I came here with my best friend Janet most of the time. She is out due to her business for a week. I can't wait to tell her about all of this, she will be so happy. Getting our ordered food we ate in comfortable silence.
"Will I see you around?" I asked him once we were done. A smirk formed on his lips.
"If you want me to show up I will." He said. I rolled my eyes. I want to see him again.
"I like your skills. You fight effectively unlike me who wants to do maximum damage."
"You are good. I like your skills rather than mine."
"Thank you. Let's head back to our homes."I said.
I got a text from Mom and she is worried. I wanted to talk to Deo but looks like I need to go. Hopefully I can see him again.
"Should I escort you back?"He offered. I bowed to him politely.
"I came with family. You can head back."
We split up. I found Ronnie waiting inside the car. Seeing me he looks relieved. We drove back to home.
"Everyone did a good job. Was anyone injured?"
"They got few scratches other than it everyone is fine."Replied Ronnie.
I pulled out my laptop and checked the locations of the remaining ones. They will notice the disappearance of their men soon, I need to get rid of them before they report back to their leader. And that is how the night ended. I ended up sleeping for the rest of the day.
...
"Well done Kiddo. You did a very good job." Grandpa praised me during our dinner together.
"I must admit you did better than I expected. Also getting on the work right after the announcement and your plan, our soldiers are impressed." Said Delian.
"Honestly I was worried but Jade proved herself." Mother said proudly.
"I told you to have faith in your daughter," Grandpa said to Mom.
"Come on guys, you are praising too much. Dave it for later when I became head." I said with a smirk.
They laughed. Ronnie is as usual silent listening to family talks. My thoughts wander to Deo. Watching him fighting I learned a few of his tricks. His face is making me feel warm. I shook my head realizing I was thinking about a guy.
Focus Jade, you have goals to achieve.
