-Vol 5: A New Life- -A punch was enough to make you puke blood- “Do you know who I am?” the scar-faced man asked carefully. He had already seen this unknown young man’s powers, so he must tread carefully. Although he had a huge background, he didn’t know if this young man’s background was huger than his or not. Until he makes it sure, he wouldn’t take a single rash decision. “No. I don’t care either, it's you who came here, threaten my people, and now you are showing me your background? Do you believe that I can break all your bones right now forcing you to live a life of cripple?” Kenshin was very angry. If this man tried to court Mrs Yui in a gentleman’s way, he wouldn’t have any qualms about it, but he instead used violence and threat. What would have happened to her if he wasn’t in the home? Wouldn’t he succeed in trampling over that pitiful lady? Just the thought of it made his blood boil again. “You bastard! Don’t go overboard just because I am showing some courtesy. You don't know who I am, I can kill you where you stand with just a phone call of mine.” The scar-faced man angrily retorted at Kenshin’s threat. As a proudful man, he didn’t like being threatened, especially by a man several years younger than him. “No, you can’t. Even if you make ten calls, you still can’t kill me, let alone a single call. Now get lost from here while I still holding back.” Kenshin was also holding himself back from beating the crap out of this man, it was for the same reason as the scarface man. After entering the inner circle of government since being employed by Suguro, he clearly understood one point. Connection matters in politics. There were some guys with so many connections that not even the state police could touch them. These people held enough power to even make a powerful hunter’s life miserable, let alone commoners. As such, he held back from beating the shit out of this guy. But from the site of this guy makes his blood boil. Every time he sees this man, he remembers Ellie’s tearstained face and Mrs Yui’s struggling face as she kept herself from crying out loud. He was just a little bit away from blowing this man all the way to the moon. At the same time had also used his system to scan him. [Kawakuchi Kaio][Age: 49] [Level: 58] [ATK: 92][AGI: 60][PHY: 48] [HP: 480][MP: 24] [Skills] - Dash Lv 9[55% increase in AGI] - Steel Body Lv8[+50% DEF and PHY] - Buster Slash Lv5[+25% ATK] - Heavy sword Mastery Lv4[+20% ATK while equipped with a heavy sword] - Grappling Hold Lv 2[-10% DEF of the enemy while held physically] ‘This man had pretty nice skills and too many of them. It's my first time seeing someone having so many skills without being a magic skill user.’ Its solidified his belief that this man wasn’t normal and his background might also be not normal. But he wasn’t afraid. If it's only him, he would have beaten this scum to the point that not even he would recognize himself. But it's not about him alone, he had to think about Mrs Yui and Ellie. That’s why he was trying his hardest to divert all his attention to himself alone. If it was so, then everything was okay. Besides, in his family, his sister was probably on the safest place possible from this type of people, as for him, even if he tried all day, he couldn’t kill him. But the situation would be different if he targets Mrs Yui, he would be helpless at that time. He didn’t want to become helpless anymore, the past 8 years was more than enough. He also didn’t want to hurt his friends and family. Hearing Kenshin’s arrogant answer, scarface man, Kaio, bristled with anger. Blinded by anger, he lost all reasoning. He pulled out the buster sword from his back and held it tightly. Then with red eyes, he glared at Kenshin and bellowed “You bastard. Just with your bit of strength, you think you can beat me? I have chocked three-faced lions with my bare hands and killed shadow jackals by pulling out their spines. You think with your measly strength, you can talk like that to me?” “Huh! Bare hands? Why? Are you an idiot or what? Why didn’t you use weapons? Don’t tell me that huge sword is just a decoration, are you trying to compensate for something with that sword of yours?” Kenshin’s playful comeback broke all barriers of his mental strength, and the scar-faced man lunged at him with his sword aiming for his neck, intending to kill him with just a single stroke of his sword. At the same time, the black blazer wearing men who were standing inside the restaurant paled in fright. One of them who seemed to be older than others shouted “Sir no. Don’t do that or else situation would be unsalvagable!” but the Scarface was too angered to listen to his reasonings. There was only one thing in his mind, to slaughter this piece of shit and piss on his corpse. “Fuck!! Everyone get out!” the man hurriedly commanded other black-clothed men inside the restaurant, and all of them jumped out in an instant. Just as they all came out, a shockwave travelled throughout the whole restaurant, breaking all the windows. At the same time, smoke raised, clouding the view of what's happening inside. Inside, Kenshin held the mad swing of the Scarface with just a single hand while his other hand encompassed in a layer of vibrating energy, he gave a solid punch to the man’s stomach. At the same time, the vibrating energy rampaged through his body, unhinging all his internal organs. With just that single punch, Kaio kneeled on the spot and coughed a mouthful of blood at the same time he vomited everything that was inside his stomach. Above Kaio’s head, a [-460] floated before vanishing. “How!? How can this happen? I have activated all my offensive and defensive skills, but I still couldn’t take on a single hit of yours? Who the hell are you?” the arrogance and anger in his eyes had already vanished, all that remained was fear. Even with his skills and level, he couldn't take a single punch from this guy. It only happened with him once, it was that time when he challenged his big brother. But his big brother was a level 150 hunter. ‘Is he also a level 150 hunter? No that can't be possible. How can there be such a powerful person in this little place? A skill! He must have used a skill, its that vibration I felt just now. He used that skill make me kneel in just one punch! But that didn’t explain how he stopped my sword with just one hand’ there were many questions in his head. The more he tried to explain the situation, the more question appeared. “Don’t try to think hard about what happened just now. I haven't used a skill, it’s just a casual punch which was encompassed with my magic power that’s all.” “Magic power? You are magic skill user?” it was a huge shock for him, even more than him being a level 150 hunter. This situation had already become beyond salvation at this point. But Kaio was a prideful individual, he couldn’t swallow his humiliation. “You bastard. You might have beaten me today, but don’t think I will drop this matter with just this. You will regret this…I will make you regret this…just you wait!” after that, his voice faded, and he falls face down unconscious. Hearing his threat, Kenshin couldn’t help but sigh in misery. Its just as what he had feared, this man would return and bring his daddy next time. If he defeats his daddy, they will bring their granddaddy…and that would continue until a point of no return where it won't stop until one of them dies.
