"I said, say that again" Jethro taunted the man, but his face shows no signs of victory. If anything, he looks more annoyed than satisfied that he holds the upper hand now

"What do you want?" The man raised his hands in surrender, dropping his gun on the process and his troops all did the same

Jethro watched the man carefully, barely missing the twitch of his hand and before the gooney near him could even make a move, Jethro raised his left hand which also wields a discarded shard, pointing it at the other person's direction

"Make one wrong move." He didn't even finish his sentence yet when the man dropped his knife in panic

Jethro looked at the six and ushered them to gather the weapons that were on the ground, and luckily, they understood the signal and did so

"Ya must think yer being sneaky like that" The man laughed even being held at gunpoint, making Jethro roll his eyes and sink his weapon nearer to the man's neck

"Kneel" He seethed, but the man didn't do as said

This made Jethro furious. No one dares to not do as he said

He pushed the glass deeper, not deep enough but just to make the man shudder under his breath and crimson liquid coat the tip of his weapon

"I said, KNEEL!" He shouted

In an instant, the man dropped on his knees, head hung low in humiliation

Who knew that a man who have managed to overthrow the leader of a gang, killed and tortured people, did every crime possible, would be kneeling before an adolescent man?

An innocent looking one, he might add

"Fucking cringey laws to pay with blood and all that" Jethro rolled his eyes in annoyance, still not letting go of his hostage

"We got everything" Cozen said, stashing the last weapon in the bag he got somewhere 

"Let's go" He added

Jethro looked at the man in front of him and sat low to the man's eye contact and looked at him. Weapon not leaving on the man's neck as well

"Disband this fucking gang or I'll come for you" He held the shard on his left hand, and let it dance amongst the man's face, watching his facial expression contorts into something Jethro enjoys seeing

The look of being afraid

With that, he stood up and turned his back, which was honestly, a wrong move for someone like him

"Like hell I'll listen to a kid!" The moment Jethro turned his back, the man stood up and grabbed a gun from his behind, aiming at the boy who just threatened him, pulling the trigger immediately

The moment the bullet shoots into the air, the man dropped back on his knees and his body went down like a sack of potatoes

He was dead

They all looked around and saw Tyrron on top of a wall, holding a customized sniper aimed at the man

"Ohhh, you guys are fucked" Tyrron smirked when he saw the seven who looked like they saw a ghost

"Car's back there. I'll hold them off" Tyrron can't seem to hide the enthusiasm on his voice when he spoke, wanting to finish the job early to see Yyan lash off them

Cozen lead them, walking back to an alley where Tyrron pointed. Every step is filled with dread and they can feel it all

Its as if they want the ground to open up and eat them alive
