TRINITY (THE TERRIBLE TRIO)

Chp 25: MY HERO 2

I and Adam planned to go eat at our usual restaurant. I reached there before Adam. On entering the restaurant I saw a bunch of highschoolers harrasing the owner of the restaurant, an old guy, for money. The whole restaurant was a mess. I was unable to bear this. I yelled at 'em.

"Oi f**kers!! The hell you doin'?"

All the bullies looked at me. Some recognised me, some didn't. Those who recognised me were already scared but continued with their thing.

"Please leave the restaurant or we'll have to do it forcefully." said a nerdy guy among the bullies.

"Huh? Hold up! You guys are from the St. Jose highschool, the best in the city!...Even though you belong to such a prestigious school, you still do such things? Nerd guy you look a bit more understanding than these guys, stop them and leave." I said.

"This won't stop." said the nerd.

"Guess...we gotta do it the hard way then."

I threw a punch at the nerd guy but to my surprise he blocked it. He suddenly made a stance and said-

"You sure live up to your name Mr. Jason Kim. You were the next-in-line recruit on our list. Let's see how long you can continue....and yes, I know a bit of kyokushin karate."

At first I took him lightly. I was using normal jabs and crosses on him but he was avoiding them with ease. I knew it was time to escalate, so I tried to hit him with a right uppercut but I stumbbled on a piece of broken chair and fell down on a table to the right behind me. He took the chance and tried attacking me with a knifehand strike. I barely avoided it but dude broke the table. I suddenly used a finisher on him but he low kicked me on the left leg. I was on the ground. Then he held my hairs with both his hands and struck me with a knee kick. Boom !!! I was unconscious.

After that, when I woke up, I was in a factory. Two guys had held my hands. The strength in my left leg was gone. My throat was dry. The sun was blazzing hot. That nerd got some real strength to make me feel such immense pain. Around me were nearly 100 students from the top 5 schools in Kana and their heads. I was analyzing my surrounding. Just then a car came near us. Two bodyguards came out of the car. One of 'em opened the door for someone. It was Asher Grey, age 21, country's biggest trader's son. Also hot-blooded and cunning. Even I was scared of him. Why? Well, when he was 17, this guy was in jail for beating the s**t out of a politician just because he told asher to not smoke in the party hall and go out and carry on. He was hot-blooded since the beginning. He was sent to juvenile prison to turn over a new leaf but instead he beat the s**t out of every guy in the juvie and made them work under him. He came out after 2 years, dropped out of school, got into arms dealing, drug racket, illegal import-export, human trafficking and much more with the gang he made. His father's net worth was 100 billion$ but this guy...he made 10x the amount illegally and also turning it into white slowly. After knowing about his son's illegal businesses, instead of telling him to stop, his father too helped him into it. Haah...I mean why the f**k would you help your son who already is so capable ?

Coming back to the story, Asher came near me and asked me to join their gang. Ofc, I denied. He then put an amount in front of me, 100 million$. But my ethics and morals again said no.

Then the obvious was about to happen. He was gonna kill me. He pulled out a knife and was gonna behead me.......but out of nowhere Adam appeared and punched Asher right on the left of his face. Asher went flying. His entry was like a hero in a movie who came to save the day.

Even I was shocked. I and Asher both looked at the gate where some highschoolers were standing. Adam had already cleared 30 of them and the two bodyguards! Him training really paid off... Adam freed me from the guys holding me. I was still in pain but seeing Adam gave me the strength to move, power of friendship!

Now the rest of the highschoolers came to get us but we kicked everyone's a**. The captains were still standing but this Adam was on a streak. He was fighting like animals. Not thinking whom to hit and to whom not. It was a relief that he could differentiate between me and the gangs or I would have been dead.

We both tried to push our way through the captains but the difference between us was too great. There were 10 captains. 8 of them were the criminals whom Asher met in the juvie but two of them were highschoolers, who were very familiar to me. One was Sean Gregg, the U-18 National Jiujitsuka and the other, my role-model Johan Ren, country's best U-18 boxer. I was shocked to see them there.

I was tired. I could not fight anymore."Sorry....Adam" I uttered. I fell to the ground.

"Hey! Why the hell are you protecting your friend when you could just walk? Listen up, more guys are gonna come here. Maybe 200...but you still have the chance to leave." said Asher.

"I DON'T GIVE A F**K IF IT'S 200 OR 2000 OR 20000 !!!! HE IS MY FRIEND AND I 'M GONNA PROTECT HIM TO THE END!!! NOW FIGHT ME!!!" screamed Adam.

"Cliché s**t...." said Asher.

Adam went straight for Asher but Sean interfered. He pinned Adam on the ground and held him in an armbar. But....Adam stood up, lifting Sean who had held his hand and bashed him onto the floor.

"Oof...that must've hurt." said one captain.

Adam punched Sean till his face was covered in blood. Everyone was watching in shock. Even me.

Now all the captains made a move but Asher stopped them. He said-

"Ah...I like you guys a lot. Let just stop here for today. I wanna see how far you guys can go. Ok bye.....and yes the 200 guys thing was just a lie. Like hell I would call 200 for 2 but you guys have exeeded my expectation by a real huge margin. I might need 300 the next time I see ya."

With saying this Asher and the captains left. Adam lifted me and took me to a hospital. He treated me. I was bedridden for 2 weeks. The two weeks Adam was with me. Taking care of me. We didn't talk about the fight. I mean Adam fighting. He just told me 'you were right'. We understood each others thoughts. I was released after two weeks. In 4 weeks it was our finals, so we poured ourselves into studies. Adam passed the finals with flying colours but I was just saved, hehe.

We entered 3rd year.

But on the very first day we got a surprise.....
