Chapter 113 - Chapter 113: Should I get involved?

Jake confronted Samuel, who was dragging Vivi away by the hair. "What are you doing?"

Samuel looked back and smiled. "I have to take her with me."

Jake tilted his head and smiled. "I need to ask her about Sinu."

Samuel turned back and removed his glasses. "Sinu Han? I'll tell you about him later."

Jake took off his jacket. "What? Am I supposed to believe you?"

"We're supposed to be on the same side!" With that, they both threw punches at each other's faces. Before they could continue, someone came flying toward them—it was Zack. He smashed into the wall.

Jake and Samuel looked toward where Zack had come from. Suddenly, another body came flying back and crashed onto poor Zack. It was Daniel. He said through the pain, "Y-You have to run..."

The lights suddenly flickered. Jake looked up at them. Then a scream echoed through the corridor. Several kids who were supposed to be Vivi's friends came running past. The lights kept flickering. Daniel's second body walked behind them, his eyes turned black. An alarm began to ring. The lights turned red.

Second Body Daniel was about to grab Daniel by the hair, but Jake dashed forward and grabbed him from behind. Samuel jumped in and threw a punch at Second Body Daniel's face.

Second Body Daniel leaned back and threw a kick at Samuel's midsection, then twisted his body and drove his elbow into Jake's back. Samuel flew backward and crashed into a wall. Jake was slammed down onto the ground.

Everyone present looked at Second Body Daniel with horror. Jake threw a straight punch at him, but Second Body Daniel jumped, flipped midair, and did a handstand on Jake's head before slamming him down with a kick. A massive crater formed as dust and debris flew everywhere.

Samuel rushed in and punched Second Body Daniel in the stomach, but he blocked it with his palm. Second Body Daniel extended his hand toward Samuel and struck his face with a one-inch punch. Samuel's head was driven into the ground.

Second Body Daniel lifted his leg high, about to deliver an axe kick, but Jake tackled him into the wall from the side. Second Body Daniel pressed down on Jake's head with his knees and elbows.

Jake's face contorted with pain. Samuel rushed in with brass knuckles on his hand and punched Second Body Daniel in the face. He laughed. "I can't believe it." Second Body Daniel used Jake as a shield, so the punch landed on Jake's face instead. "Is that you, Daniel?"

Jake muttered, "You... son of a bitch..."

Second Body Daniel twisted and drove his elbow into Jake's back. Jake smashed into Samuel, and both of them crashed into a wall.

Lineman screamed from the side and rushed forward. "Jake!"

Jerry stopped him. "If you intervene, you'll die."

Lineman tried to protest, but Jerry held him back. "DON'T WORRY!" Jerry stepped forward and bit his lip until blood came, just to fight through his fear. He rushed at Second Body Daniel and punched toward his face. "I KNOW HIM!"

Jake slowly got up. "J-Jerry!"

Second Body Daniel tilted his head and dodged. The punch landed on the wall, breaking through it. Second Body Daniel kicked Jerry in the thigh. Jerry grunted and coughed up water. He squeezed Second Body Daniel's leg with his own, then took a massive breath and raised his arm. He leaned back and threw an overhand punch. "You ready for this?"

But Second Body Daniel blocked the punch with his leg. He used the impact to spin his whole body and threw a kick with the ball of his foot. Jake came between them and took the attack. Jerry looked at Jake in shock. Jake just smiled. His body flew like a bullet, and he crashed headfirst into a wall.

Seeing this, both Lineman and Jerry lost their minds. They jumped at Second Body Daniel with punches flying.

Meanwhile, Samuel looked back to where Baki was supposed to be, but Baki was missing. He sighed, took out a cigarette, and said to Daniel without looking back, "Hey, kid. Take Vivi and get out of here."

"W-What?"

Samuel took a drag of his cigarette and threw it aside. "The big kids are having some fun. Stay out of it."

Daniel picked up Vivi and started to run away. Vivi pulled his hair. "Let go! Let go of me!"

But Daniel didn't stop. Behind him, Jake, Jerry, and Lineman were knocked out. Second Body Daniel beat Samuel and grabbed him by his hair. Suddenly, two men entered—one with eyes gleaming green, the other's bloodshot. Everyone looked at them in surprise.

Johan grabbed Vivi by her hair and threw her aside, while Second Body Daniel also threw Samuel aside. Eli Jang sighed. "This isn't what I signed up for. But since I'm already here, I might as well join in."

Johan and Second Body Daniel stood face to face. Johan lifted his head above Second Body Daniel's and brought it down with extreme speed. Second Body Daniel was smashed into the ground headfirst—but it was a feint. Second Body Daniel flipped his body and stomped on Johan's face, slamming him headfirst into the ground. Eli Jang rushed at Second Body Daniel and slashed at his neck, but Second Body Daniel moved his head and punched Eli in the midsection. Eli bent over and coughed blood.

After a while, Jake woke up. Samuel asked, "You awake, Jake?"

"Samuel? Huh? What happened?" Jake asked.

Samuel took a drag of his cigarette. "Jake. Go get us some popcorn."

Meanwhile, Johan threw a kick at Second Body Daniel's neck. Second Body Daniel grabbed his leg. Eli grasped Second Body Daniel's shoulders and bit into his neck four times, but Second Body Daniel grabbed Eli by his hair and Johan by his leg, then slammed them into each other.

Jake and Samuel kept watching the spectacle. Samuel asked, "Do you see it?" Jake nodded. "Yeah. I see it. That guy... he knows all kinds of martial arts."

But what they didn't know was that someone else was sitting beside them. "Is that so? He's very strong, right?"

Samuel's back was soaked in cold sweat. He looked beside him and saw Baki sitting there with a demonic grin. Jake also turned back. "Huh? When did he get here?!"

Baki sighed and got up, then stretched his body. He started to skip on his toes. "Should I really get involved? It doesn't feel great to fight against kids, but I can't let an opponent like this go, can I?"
