While all of these are happening, Makoto is still standing on top of a nearby building. With a night vision binoculars in his hand, he can't help but amusedly watches the fight that is happening inside.
"He can't even do things in silence. Noob." Makoto chuckled.
"Still, I wonder what his Aspect is. Is it perhaps related to those strings?"
"However, his physical strength clearly surpassed any ordinary humans."
"Are those strings perhaps from a H.E.X Arms?"
"His fighting style is quite interesting. It looks wild like a street fight but also pretty coordinated."
"He knows how to finds his opponent's weak spots. Added with his fighting style, he was able to defeat all of them before they could even use their Aspects."
Makoto pulls out a phone from his pocket. A burner phons. Such phone is already considered antique and can hardly be found anywhere. With today's technology, not many uses it.
But in Undercity, it is still used by some. All so that they can maintain privacy.
"Yo, Trixy. Can you do an old friend a favour?" After dialing a number, Makoto jokingly said.
"Not interested."
"Come on you illegal immigrant, I've had endangered my life just to smuggled you in. You won't want those idiots to somehow find your hiding spot and drags you back home now won't you?"
"If you ever dare to snitched me out, I be sure to beings down the global economy with me."
Makoto cough, not expecting the latter's answer
"Anyway, I need some help here. Can you look for any information about this new guy? His name is Karen Brandon and he just arrived at this city."
"Brandon?"
"Yes I know what you are thinking. The adopted son of the legendary Moon Brandon-hello? Trixtan?"
The call had been cut off.
"How rude." Makoto pouts.
Crash!
A crash resounded.
Karen had launched himself off the building through the window.
To be more precise, he had launched a shark villain alongside him through the window. Now, his arms wrapped around a man's neck and the strings from his gauntlet had been wrapped around the man's body, immobilising him.
The shark man mutant screamed in terror as his body plummeted down to the ground.
Their bodies plummeted down to the ground.
Makoto stood still, panick flashing across his eyes.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Makoto panicked, "Don't tell me he's dead?!"
If the kid died, what would Wak Tolak do to him?
The fall was quite high. Around 6 floors high.
Even some evolved individuals will have a hard time surviving that fall.
"The kid still alive!"
"How is he alive?!"
"He's alive! And he's kicking!"
Karen legs abruptly ended up kicking the man's body flying.
A villain rushed at him, his arm transforming into a sharp one edged blade. The villain swung down.
Karen flipped into the air swiftly. Mid air, his eyes gleams in crimson light. His leg swung down. An arch kick ruthlessly landed on the man's back. A powerful strike that knocked him unconscious.
Karen landed on the ground.
One of the villains transformed into a rhino.
Karen's body abruptly twisted into a weird angle. His upper body twisting. Following suit is his lower body, twisting to follow his upper body rising for a kick.
A kick that landed on the rhino's head.
Karen sidestepped, dodging an incoming iron claws. His hand shot forth, grabbing the wrist of the villain and gripping tightly.
He pulled, while his other hand, shot fourth.
A palm swept across the air, landing on the villain's chest. A palm strike strong enough to knocked the air off him.
Karen's fingers coiled, grabbing the man's shirt before lifting him up and then smashing him to the ground.
Karen's arm move at a blinding, his skin hardening into a stone.
The blade aiming for his head was stopped, latching onto his skin.
The villain widened his eyes as Karen swung his arm, slamming him away and breaking the katana in the process.
"Useless! The lots of them!" A big bellied man with round face angrily slammed his palm on the coffee table.
"The best of wine, the best of women! I've given them all the best because of their skills and yet they can't even stopped a boy who still wet behind ears!"
"He's just a kid! A kid!"
"Boss!! The boy already beaten half of our men!" A henchman rushed through the door, heavily injured.
On the screen, Karen's figure can be seen running through one hallway after another.
"How?!" The round bellied man shouted, "How can't they even beat a kid?!"
"Years of investment and training those useless Mercs only to ended up being beaten by a kid!"
"Do you know how hard it was to trained them?!"
"Money! It all costs money!"
"Just who is this kid and how did he even get in here?!"
One of the henchmen raised his hand, "So-someone had put up a bounty on the USB memory we've stolen."
Boom!
The entire building shook.
The monitor showcase that Karen had defeated more of the their men.
Beep!
The walkie talkie on one of them was turned on. What they heard from the otherside caused them to paled.
"Help! Send help!"
"Too fast! He's too fast!"
"A ghost! It's a ghost!"
"He just walked through a wall!"
"Why can't I hit him!"
Gunshots can be heard from the other side.
"The bullets are useless!"
"I got him! I cut off his arm!"
"He's regenerating! His arm is regenerating!"
"How is he still alive!"
"How did his arm reached that far?!"
"Someone please send help?!"
There was silence.
The sounds of footsteps can be heard.
"I suppose this is the boss?" Karen's voice can be heard from the other side.
"Listen, I'm tired, hungry and need some sleep. The flight here was tiring enough. Hand over the item that I needed and I be done done with everything."
Crash!
The walkie talkie was thrown by the round bellied man.
"Find him! I don't care where he is I want him dead!" The round bellied man screamed in anger.
Humiliation. A complete humiliation!
Where will he put his face if others are to find out that his people are too useless to even beat a kid!?
The henchmen stare at him fear.
"What? Why aren't you moving?! Go get that kid?!"
"Bos..."
"What?!"
"Behind you." One of his subordinates pointed at him.
To be more precise, to his back.
The round bellied man turns around, only to see a white haired boy. A white haired boy with half of his body poking out of the wall.
"Found you." Karen tilted his head, his eyes glowing in crimson light.
"Wha..." The round bellied man wasn't able to finished his words when Karen shot down like speeding bullet.
Karen's body crashed against the man's body. Much to his surprise, instead of being sent flying, the man stood still. His stomach had expended like a balloon.
Karen was buried into his stomach.
The man grinned, puffing his chest.
Instantly, Karen was sent flying crashing to the wall.
The man laughed, "Not so arrogant now are we?"
Karen's figure flashes, appearing right before him.
A kick landed right on the man's cheek. The man was sent stumbling back.
How interesting.
Multiple kicks landed on the fat man's abdomen only to be buried into his fat stomach.
Those fat on his body, capable of absorbing various impacts from physical attacks.
The round bellied man swept his arm, attempting to punch him. Despite the sheer size of his body, the moment his fist landed on Karen's arm, Karen can't help but be surprised.
His fat can absorbs impacts and strengthen his physical strength.
The sounds of bones can be heard upon impact.
But what if I landed a punch on his face?
In the next moment, the broken bones on his arms healed and Karen sent out another punch.
This time, his fast landed right on the man's face, breaking his nose.
His Aspect may have been powerful for defence and offence. However, it is clear that his weakness is his speed.
As his Aspect requires speed for fat, his speed is basially nonexistent.
Multiple punches landed on the villain's face.
"What are you doing?! Get him!"
The other henchmen was woken from their stupor.
All of them rushed at Karen.
Karen's eyes flickered in red. His figure vanishes, sprinting towards the big boss and dashing into the latter's stomach.
His figure was instantly submerged into the man's fat stomach, instantly shocking the others.
In the next second, the spikes on Karen's knuckles shot out, hurling towards the wall.
His the strings attaching his arms to the spikes became like rubber, stretching to an unimaginable way before propelling him back right towards the man's head.
Karen's kick landed right on man's cheeks. Mid air, Karen's fist rain upon the man's face.
Angered, the round bellied man swept his arm, attempting to send a punch. At this point, his movements have turned sluggish.
Karen easily evaded his fist, even elegantly flipping through the air to land on one of the henchman's shoulder and wrapping his legs around the man's neck.
With a flip of his body, Karen uses his legs to throw the villain to the ground.
Karen's hand stretched, grabbing an arm of another villain before throwing him to the round bellied man.
The villain landed into his boss's stomach, causing the thick layer of fat to ripple.
"You little...." The boss gritted his teeth, launching his subordinate in anger.
"Delivery incoming." Karen grabbed the third henchmen and throwing him right to the incoming villain.
Both henchmen's bodies collided mid air.
Karen jumped out, landing on the man's shoulders before sliding across and once again landing on another villain.
Using his body weight, Karen pushed the villain down and knocked him unconscious.
Eight spikes shot out, piercing through the skin of a nearby henchmen. Karen pulled, pulling the two and forcing their bodies to collide with one another.
This goes on for a few times. Every time a henchman tried to attacked him, he would easily slide through the floor, using strings to wrapped the body of the henchmen before pulling them to knock them unconscious.
Before he knows it, the villains had all been knocked out.
Karen's legs wrapped around the round bellied ma's neck. His fist raining down fists and punches all over his face.
"Come here you little shit!" The round bellied man reached out to Karen only for the white haired boy to easily flip, landing on the ground before sliding underneath him.
As Karen slides underneath him, the round bellied man suddenly reached down, grabbing him by the collar and lifting him from the ground.
Karen's body was smashed to the ground multiple times times.
The round bellied man smashed Karen's body to the floor before lifting him.
Karen's body is now a mangled mess, with bones protruding out and blood covering his skin.
"Kids these days, always thinking they are....."
"Do you know what you westerners always feared?" Karen suddenly asked, cutting off the round bellied man.
"What?....."
Karen raised his hands, revealing one hand holding a pin and the other holding a grenade. A shockwave grenade. A sticky shockwave grenade.
"An innocent kid and his grenade."
The grenade was thrown to the man's belly, sticking to his skins.
Karen's body melted to the ground. His head popped up from the floor.
"God is great, and you'll be seeing him soon."
His body phased through the floor.
What followed was a huge shockwave they revebrated through the building.
