212 Not as Easy as She Thought

“Fuck it!” Troy exclaimed. Then he looked back at a few of his men who had followed him. “Plans changed. I can’t reach the others. We’ll find Marcel Douglas’s room ourselves.” he said before running through every floor of the huge building.

***

“Kenny!” Emma exclaimed as she ran over to the man standing between two guards.

“Hey!” But Emma’s steps immediately stopped when she heard the screams of a man calling her.

Emma turned to the right. She instantly let out an annoyed chuckle when she saw Calvin standing in the middle of the hallway. To make matters worse, Emma heard a running sound approaching. When she turned to her left, it was Ian standing in the hallway near the emergency stairwell.

“Wow.. What is this? Black? Why are you here?” Ian asked directly.

Kenny who saw this, immediately came over. “You made it here?” He looked at Calvin and Ian in turn.

Emma and Rachel looked at each other. Then they sighed together. Ultimately, this was the moment that decided what would happen.

“You.. are not helping them, are you?” Calvin looked at Emma.

.....

“Stop this pointless fight. You’d better go home.” Emma said to Calvin.

“Oh? So Black is really on his side with RJC? How interesting,” Ian chuckled.

“Don’t just guess as you pleased,” Rachel hissed.

Kenny just silently observed what was going on. He found Marcel’s cell phone could not be reached. Could it be that Marcel did summon Black to help them?

“I told you before. Stop your fighting. It’s useless.” Emma said.

“You don’t know anything, so don’t interfere. If you indeed are on RJC’s side, then you have to fight us.” Ian said lightly. “Don’t you think that since we’ve fought together one time, then we’d be reluctant to beat you up,”

“Black. I know you are not a criminal. RJC has snatched the future of many students from the martial arts studios. We have spoken to them to stop it, but they refused and instead asked for a fight.” Calvin tried to explain. “RJC is not a fine group. If you defend them, then you are so wrong.”

Emma stepped closer to Calvin with a displeased face, “I know what I’m doing. You don’t have to judge me right or wrong.”



“Then tell me,” Ian said with a sharp look. “Tell me, what RJC does are right or wrong?”

“You don’t want to stop us. You just want to see us destroyed.” Marcel suddenly came.

It turned out that Marcel had not been in his room all this time. He had been on the top floor, monitoring the situation below. Even though he was a master at fighting, Damian wasn’t good at controlling the situation. After being left by Vico, the conditions below could have become chaotic. Because of that, Marcel decided to watch the youngest of the core team from above.

Even so, Kenny still guarded Marcel’s door to trick the enemy. They all knew that Jita Kyoei was after Marcel. Therefore, they made it look as if Marcel was in his room.

But the instincts of a leader couldn’t be doubted. Damian, who stood alone, was still able to lead his group against Frank and Louis and the many Jita Kyoei men who were outside the headquarters. Seeing this condition, Marcel decided to go down to get to Kenny. There was no way he could fight Calvin, Troy, and Ian alone. Even Marcel didn’t know where Vico was because they all couldn’t communicate anymore.

Marcel was surprised to see Black inside his base. He didn’t know what the two masked men were looking for. But what he knew, the presence of these two men could either become a great weapon or a deadly boomerang for RJC.

Ian looked back and moved to the side. Marcel walked leisurely towards the group of men.

“If destroying your group is the only way to stop you, then that’s what we’re forced to do,” Calvin replied.

“Wait a minute,” Emma tried to mediate with them. Then she looked at Calvin, “RJC recruit martial arts studio students because they need additional strong members to protect their area.”

“Hey, Black,” Ian chuckled, “Are you stupid or what? All groups would do that to protect their territory. Not just RJC.”

“There are a lot of people who live in the area and make a living there.” Rachel said.

“I was thinking about stopping the recruiting. But Dragger started to expand its territory by taking over the area left by the Creeper. Therefore, we had to go back to the old way of expanding the territory. That made us need more men.” Marcel explained.

Inside, Emma and Rachel were trying to recall Dragger’s name. It looked like it was another gangster group. She wasn’t entirely sure, but Emma felt like she’d heard a rumour once or twice that the Dragger was a group associated with Jen Marrie Street.

If that was true, then it meant that Dragger was a giant large group. Ah.. the gangsters in Handway City seemed to be endless!

“Drager?” Calvin muttered. He and Ian looked at each other. They knew exactly how powerful the group that ruled Jen Marrie Street was. Calvin had always tried to fight them, but he couldn’t even touch them.

But Ian shook his head, “That’s your problem. Our interests are martial arts studios. The future of students who should be able to become athletes. And you took it away by making them members of a gangster group with an unclear future.”





“Their future is in their own hands. We never forced them to join us. It was a decision they made and it had nothing to do with you.” Marcel replied.

“But they’ll stop if there’s no longer a gangster group to house them, right?” Ian smirked.

“Sounds like you’ll never understand, Marcel,” Calvin glared at him.

“Just cut it. This war is pointless.” Emma said and glanced at Ian, “Can’t Jita Kyoei just understand? Many families depend their living in RJC’s territory. Therefore, the area must be protected.”

“Yes, there are indeed many who depend on that street for a living, including them,” Ian pointed at Marcel and Kenny and then turned to Emma’s face, “And maybe you too?”

Emma hated the most when her face was pointed at by someone. She immediately slapped Ian’s hand roughly, “Get your damn hand off my face, you bastard! Black has never depended on anyone to make a living!” she growled.

“You should have known what kind of business RJC has been running,” Calvin said.

At that moment, Marcel was immediately moved. Black didn’t know that they were running an illegal business in the Underground Cave. If Black found out, then it was certain that he would side with Jita Kyoei. “No one doesn’t know it, even Black. They know very well what we are doing,” he said quickly before Black had a chance to answer.

Unfortunately, neither Emma nor Rachel realized that at this time, Marcel was indeed trying to cover up his group’s crimes from them. Marcel was looking for an alliance. Black, who had helped him win the fight against the Creeper, made him yearn for the same thing to happen again.

Marcel’s plan had worked. Because they were already ignited by anger, Ian and Calvin didn’t even think about taking a second thought.

“Black is allied with RJC. How disgusting. You even tried to look wise by acting as a mediator.” Ian said while laughing. “This is the first time Troy has misjudged someone,” He remembered how much Troy admired Black when they had just managed to tear down Hell Gate.

Ian and Calvin’s judgment was influenced by what always happened in the dark world. No matter how good a person was, he would become evil if he was faced with a lot of money and power.

The money would darken a person’s eyes. And it was what happened with the students in a martial arts studio who gave up their dreams to become part of the RJC group which would provide a large salary and group support for them.

Calvin did not deny it. He even could only move sturdily when he had collaborated with Jita Kyoei. Before, he could not do much because he only moved alone. Therefore, the fact that Black had joined RJC did not make him surprised.

“How funny,” Ian said with a half smirk, “Why does it seem like we’re fighting over Black? I don’t think these two guys are that great that makes two groups try to explain to whom they should side.”

Hearing that, Emma chuckled sarcastically, “You think we wanted to be fought over on purpose?” It seemed like Emma had accidentally dragged her heartache into this matter.

Since entering Jardin University, Emma often heard gossip from girls groups who said that she deliberately flirted to get close to handsome campus boys in order to become Belle who made the boys fight each other. Ha! It was disgusting indeed, even though Emma had tried to ignore it.

“We’re still going to destroy RJC. And you two..” Calvin looked at Emma and Rachel, “would be part of them,”

In the blink of an eye, Ian quickly moved his feet and threw a 360 side kick towards Kenny who was standing in his kick range.

Emma, ??Rachel, and Marcel immediately jumped back away from the meeting point. As Marcel had planned, now the Black was on his side.

The two guards who were in front of Marcel’s room immediately ran to attack Calvin but were immediately knocked out by him with double-high kicks to their jaws.

Unfortunately, Ian’s kick earlier missed a bit. At first, he was about to hit Kenny’s chest, but because the big man managed to dodge, the kick only hit his arm.

“Emma, are we fighting them?” Rachel asked quickly in a whisper.

Emma nodded slowly, “We have to. Use plan B.”

It turned out that mediating the two groups was not as easy as Emma thought. She thought that explaining RJC’s intention to recruit martial arts students would make Jita Kyoei understand. But now, they ended up having to fight each other.
