"What would be do without you Seiko-san?"
"You really are the ace of our company!"
"Your plan to expand our business was the best decision our company in its entire history."
Praises were being thrown around the whole room. People were standing and cheering for a man who had his head slightly bent down. The man had black hair and silver eyes. He had the perfect face every man and even women desired. His jaw, eye and every part of his face was perfectly aligned. Not just his face, he was tall, had broad shoulders and big hands. Just from the shape of his body one could tell he exercised regularly. The pale skin perfectly suited him and made him even more handsome. He was embarrassed cause of all the praise he was receiving.
A man with a short stature walked towards the guy who was receiving all the praise he deserved. He put his hand on the dude's shoulder and puffed his chest.
"Seiko! Hiring you was the best decision I have taken in my entire career. I am glad we have you"
Seiko stood up and hugged his boss.
"Thank you boss!"
The whole staff cheered even more after their wholesome moment. Everybody was praising Seiko because of his achievements. Their company was not doing well but every thing changed when Seiko joined.In just a few years his vision helped the company reach new heights and now because of his new strategy the company was successful enough to become a multi-million dollar company.
Seiko stood and looked at his colleagues surrounding him. He bowed to them.
"Thank you for believing in me and we would not have achieved this without all of your efforts. Everybody that had worked here including the janitor, the chef of our canteen, no matter what role you have played, it has contributed to our success. Our hard work has finally paid off. All of you were the key to our triumph and I hope we can keep on reaching new heights and break through our limits."
The staffs were touched by Sekio's speech. Even though all of them knew that he was the main reason for their success, he never took credit for it.
'He is such a humble dude.'
All of them thought. The boss then looked at every body and shouted.
"We cannot end such a beautiful night without having a party."
The staff cheered and jumped on their feet. Seiko looked at his boss and said.
"I am sorry but I wont be able to join you. My mom asked me to join her for dinner and she might get angry if I change my plans again."
His mom had asked him to have dinner with them for a long time but he had been postponing it cause of his work and if he postponed it again he was sure to receive a beating from his mom's slippers and belts.
The boss understood Seiko and the staff also clearly heard him, after all nobody can go against an asian mom.
"We can party the next day."
"Yeah it would not be fun without our ace."
The staff smiled as they cancelled their plan. Boss looked at Seiko.
"You heard them."
Seiko smiled at every body and bowed his head again to express his gratitude. Most of the female employee had already fallen in love and seeing him smile like that would melt their heart.
Seiko was the first to leave the office. Once he left the office, the atmosphere around him changed. The happy and cheerful aura diminished quickly. He now had a straight face. There was no sign of him laughing and smiling with his colleagues just a moment ago. It was as if he removed a disguise off his face.
He got down from the building using the elevator and headed to the parking lot. He walked towards his motor bike. He then took out a helmet from his bike's storage compartment and as he was about to wear it, his phone started ringing. He picked up the call and immediately he could hear the other person behind the phone shouting at him.
"Seiko! Are you planning to make me angry again? How many times are you going to break you promise to dine with me?"
His mother shouted in a rage. She did not have the chance to meet her son in a long time and now if he postponed it again then she would start to overthink stuff like,
'Does my son not love me anymore? Is he tired of me? Did I do something wrong ?'
But Seiko was quick to dismiss any thoughts rampaging her this time.
"I will be there mom! Just getting on my bike."
"Ok."
His mom then immediately cut off the call. He got on his bike and headed to his mom and dad's apartment. He bought some gifts for them as well. He also had a brother three years younger than him but currently he had gone on a trip with his friends.
Seiko was about to enter the apartment when he heard, a girl screaming.
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME- Umpp"
Seiko sneaked a glance at the alley at the side of the apartment. He could see a high school girl with black hair and brown eyes being surrounded by five men. All of them had a bat or some kind of melee weapon in their hand. One of them had their hand on her mouth to stop her from screaming for help.
'They must be gangsters.'
One of the gangster touched the girl's thighs and rubbed it. The girl tried to steer away but her back was against a wall and she could not even run as she was surrounded. The gangster licked his lips.
" I will show you what adults do when the night arrives."
His friends laughed and they were also ready to do unthinkable things to the girl. She could only cry and pray that someone would help her. Seiko who was witnessing all of this decided to do the thing that every average and 'normal' person would do. He turned his back and was about to walk away but he remembered what it means to be a human.
'Being human means to help others, spread love and kindness and be on the path that leads to good and always value the peace you have inside you.'
Seiko rubbed his forehead as he was about to get in big trouble .At first he called the police and gave them the location. He looked around him to ask for help but nobody was around. He did not go into the alley as he was knew he would not be able to beat all of them without sustaining injuries.
The gangster slowly moved his hand up the girl skirt and now Seiko had no choice but to interfere. He took of the coat he was wearing threw it at the ground and walked straight into the alley.
"You fuckers! Aren't you pathetic to gang upon such a weak girl?"
The gangsters turned their head and frowned when they saw Seiko.
"Here comes the prince to save the day. I wonder where your horse is? Maybe it still has not popped yet and remember this is not a fairy tale. You will be killed within a few seconds."
Seiko knew that that is why he wanted to stall for time but one of the gangsters walked straight at him.
He then took a deep breath and observed the gangsters's movement. He was walking with a metal pipe and swung it at Seiko. Seiko observed every movement of the gangster. His footsteps, his breathing and how his shoulder moved. Time had not slowed but it was quite easy to notice such obvious attack.
Seiko moved to his left and hit the gangster with a right uppercut.
"Bam!"
The punch connected and the gangster staggered. Seiko took his chance and again punched the gangster in his face.
"Bam!"
The gangster fell on the floor unconscious. Ryujin picked up the metal pipe.
"This is too easy. All of you attack me at once."
Ryujin provoked the gangsters and it backfired. Three of them ran at him.
'And here I thought they would attack me single handedly to show how manly and rowdy they were. I should have studied more about gangster r behaviour pattern.'
The gangster coming straight at him threw his bat at Sekio. He ducked but the bat slightly hit his head. Sekio swung the pipe and hit the gangster in his neck. The man immediately went limp.
'I hope he did not die.'
Sekio did not have time to think about that. Another attack came from his left but it was too late to dodge. He put his hand up to guarded his head. The metal bat hit his wrist. Sekio did not scream as he did not feel pain but he knew it would take time for him to move his hand properly.
Another attack came from the right but Sekio managed to dodge it easily and he kicked the guy in his nuts.
"Crack"
The guy dropped his weapon and grabbed his nuts.
"My future kids."
The guys screamed and Sekio again kicked him in the nuts. He ended a generation with that kick. The gangster on his left again swung his metal bat but this time Sekio grabbed the bat and hit him with the pipe in his ribs. That gangster too fell on the ground and Sekio took his chance and kicked the guys in the balls. He was responsible for the declining birth rate in the world.
The gangster who was harassing the girl then got into action. He took out a pocket knife and rushed at Sekio. He dodged the attack but the knife grazed his shoulder. The gangster attacked again but Sekio dodged it. However he stumbled and fell on his butt.
The gangster tried to stab Sekio's forehead but he hit the gangster on his legs with the pipe. The gangster felt pain and fell on his knees. Sekio hit the guy on his head and managed to defeat him. He got up and hit that guy in the balls as well. Just in few minutes he managed to destroy millions of lives with just kicks.
"Why does the police always arrive late in this situation?"
He then looked at the girl who had fell on the ground because of the fear. He walked towards her and put his hand on her head.
" You are safe now."
The girl hugged Sekio and cried.
"Uwahh! *Sniff* I was so scared."
Sekio did not do anything and let the girl cry. After few seconds he pushed himself away from the girl when he noticed something. He looked down and saw a knife piercing his left chest. It was the pocket knife the gangster used just moments ago.
The girl then twisted the knife and took the knife out. Blood started to pour and Sekio started feeling dizzy. He knew he was done for. He looked at the girl and noticed that her eyes were out of place as if someone had taken control over her.
" I hope you live a long and healthy life."
He said as he touched the girl's head.
He then looked at the apartment on his left.
'Sorry mom! I really wanted to have dinner with you. I am not good at fulfilling my promises.'
Seiko took his last breath and died on the spot.
