"Hey babe" YB pulled Angela closer, pecking her on her lips, causing the latter to pout sensually.
"Why weren't you picking my calls huh? If not for you manager, i wouldn't have known you were here"
"Well, i was doing some business" YB scratched his head.
Suddenly, he realized that there was an outsider in their midst. He slapped his forehead.
"Oh, i almost forgot. Angela meet Diego. Diego, meet my girlfriend Angela"
"Hi!" Angela smiled and brought her hands for a handshake.
Since the other party could dine with her celebrity boyfriend, he must have some deep background.
However, her smile instantly froze when she saw Diego.
"It's you!"
YB sensed that something was not right.
"Babe, you know this guy?"
Angela gave Diego a deep look. How could such a pauper know her boyfriend and even have lunch with him?
No! it must be somebody who looks like tht broke bastard in the shrubs.
Yes! it must be his rich doppleganger.
Although Angela tried comforting herself with this, she still asked to confirm.
"Babe, what's this guy identity?"
"Well, remember that audition i was talking about? he won it. We were in the midst of discussing a collaboration before you came" YB explained.
"Have you both met before?" he obviously sensed the tension in the atmosphere.
"Met? we know each other way back. Babe, don't trust this guy" Angela smirked coldly.
"He was my fellow school mate in high school. He was a famous small time gangster, thief and bully. I advise against working with this guy before he dupes you!" Angela spewed all the horrible lies she could think of at that moment.
Diego's face went blank. As for YB, he didn't jump into conclusion. Instead, he gave Diego a questioning look.
"Is that true?"
Diego forced out a smile.
"Although i was school mates with Angela, i am nothing like what she claims"
YB felt silent. He was not a bad person by heart, but he was a big simp.
Although he had a gut feeling that Diego was telling the truth, his simp side wanted him to believe Angela's lies.
He was in a deep inner conflict. Seeing YB in deep contemplation, Diego glared at Angela hatefully, while clenching his knuckles anxiously.
Finally, YB spoke up.
"I'll put you on probation"
Diego breathed in relief, while Angela frowned with dissatisfaction.
"Babe!"
"It's okay. It won't hurt for me to study him for a while. If i notice anything shady, i won't hesitate to kick him out"
"Hmph!" Angela stomped in indignation.
A colony of trucks cruised down the smooth asphalt of an express way.
Inside one of these trucks...
Amelia sat fearfully sand witched by two gangstas. Her wrists were bound by a thick chord while her mouth was gagged.
At the driver seat was Carl.
"Damn, this thot is hot!" the gangsta at Amelia's left licked his lips, his eyes roaming around her curvy body.
Amelia was sweating so profusely that some of the fabrics of her dress sticked to her body, further highlighting her hour glass figure.
The gangsta felt a budge under his laps and awkwardly rubbed it.
"Tsk. What a horny bastard" the gangsta at the right snickered.
"Hypocrite. Don't tell me you don't feel anything. Or, are you an eunuch?"
"Bastard! it's your whole family that is an eunuch!" the gangsta at the right snapped back.
"You both have guts to have thoughts about the Boss's lady" Carl laughed sarcastically.
When the two gangstas heard these words, they instantly shut up.
"Huh?" Carl wanted to tease his subordinates further. However, he suddenly noticed a situation.
A few metres away was a fleet of police cars, along with uniformed men.
"Snipe, what's the situation?" Carl spoke through a walkie talkie.
Snipe was his second-in-command.
Plus, he just happened to be at the fore front.
"We are at a check point" a feminine voice replied.
Carl's expression went sullen. Checkpoint?
Last time he checked, there was no such check point!
His eyes flashed with vigilance. Something was fishy.
The leading truck came to an halt before the police checkpoint.
Snipe alighted down. She was a female spotting a latex outfit that exposed her slender figure.
However, her face although beautiful was completely frosty. Her hair was styled in a pony tail, making her look kind of badass.
"Can we help you officers?" she observed vigilantly.
A slim male police walked towards her. He observed the two other trucks behind her and spoke to the intercom tied to his shoulder.
"Targets confirmed. Engage!"
Instantly, the other police behind him opened fire.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ambush!!" Snipe cried out in alarm as she ducked, narrowly dodging a rain of bullets.
However, the bullets were made of strange material. They managed to tear holes into the trucks, killing many gangstas.
Snipe rolled towards the enemy, landing a kick on a police chest.
The unfortunate officer smashed against the windscreen of a police vehicle, vomiting blood.
Before Snipe could react, two police officers opened fire on her.
Before she managed to doge, two bullets struck her arm.
"Ouch!" she winced, grabbing her bleeding arm.
"Bitch die!" a police officer rammed his car against her, knocking her a few metres away.
Ruthlessly drawing his gun, he ended the female gangsta with two shots on the head.
It was a complete slaughter!
Carl watched with a sullen face as his men died one at a time. After his clash with those from the Bifrost Gang, he called for more reinforcement.
But now, they were all dying before his eyes.
"Watch after her!" he instructed the two gangstas flanking Amelia before leaving the truck.
Upon sighting him, many of the Police Officers opened fire on him. However, they instantly noticed that the new comer was completely impervious to their bullets.
"Die!" Carl slapped a police officer in front of him, sending him smashing hard against the ground a few feets away.
He attempted to grab another one, however, he suddenly felt a strong grip on his wrist.
"Hm?"
Shadowshot stared calmly at Carl. His expression completely expressionless.
"Reaching the third step of the Decimus rank at such an age. You must have an amazing backer no?"
Although Carl was burly, he didn't look no more than thirty. Deviants were rare and to progress in strength took time, dedication and resources.
"Hmph. Now you know i have a backer, let me go and i'll pretend this never happened!" Carl tried to put up a brave font.
However, he was inwardly shivering. He could feel a powerful force from the opponents grip.
"Are you threatening me?" Shadowshot's eyes flashed coldly.
"So what if i do? if you dare.."
Snap!
Shadowshot threw Carl's corpse like he was disposing trash.
When the two remaining gangstas saw the situation, they almost pissed their pants. Jumping down the truck, they attempted to escape.
Too bad the enemy reacted quick, burying them in a shower of bullets.
Amelia shrieked when Shadowshot opened the door.
"I am here to free you" he un-did her bindings.
"Did Drew send you?" Amelia asked Cautiously.
"Drew? who is Drew?" Shadowshot replied.
Amelia became confused.
"You don't know Drew? then who sent you?"
"Less questions. If you want to return back home, i am your only shot" Shadowshot cut her off.
He brought out his phone, dialing Boss Jay's number. He put it on speaker so Amelia could hear.
"Any news?" Boss Jay's worried voice rang from the other end.
"Your pretty girl has been rescued"
Shadowshot hung up and turned towards Amelia.
"Do you believe me now?"
