That Blonde Guy

Chapter 44.2

Mikey couldn't believe that the peaceful afternoon that he and Nika were having ended in a gruesome situation.

He stood there, merely an average figure, before hundreds and hundreds of men in orange tokkofuku. He knew that Toman and Panthera would eventually be in a war because of how things are going between the two gangs, but he never expected it to be like this. He never expected to be attacked by an entire battalion of delinquents when he's alone with Nika, and now she was being held on knifepoint right in front of him.

It made him want to punch himself at the moment. This was all his fault.

"If you want control over Shibuya, it's yours," he said. "Now let her go."

It only made Yagi scoff. "Nah, boring, that's not how it works."

Mikey ignored the latter's words. In a low and stern voice, he repeated himself, "Let her go."

It was the very first time that Yagi Oshiro ever saw the infamous 'Invincible Mikey' who had taken down Black Dragon and Tenjiku. And now, as the famed guy stood in front of him, he almost laughed. Toman's President was a figure that merely reached his shoulders. Ridiculous.

"I wasn't expecting this, you know. We planned this attack just to corner you alone because they say you're too good, yet here you are looking like an elementary student, what the fuck." Yagi took a deep breath, now getting somewhat bored. "Maybe all those wins against the big gangs were mere luck, eh? Is Toman really that lame that their president is a midget?"

"Let Nika go."

"Alright, alright." Yagi sighed. "Seeing how shrimpy you seem to be, I'll be merciful just this time. All of this will be over, just get on your knees and eat grass."

Insulting laughs filled the air once again. It made Nika grit her teeth. She turned to Panthera Tigris' president and spat. "Fuck you!"

"Oh, wait—you have to chew it in front of your pretty girlfriend. Show me that you swallow, okay?"

Nika was looking at the blonde guy as the entire crowd erupted in laughter. The taunting chants of 'eat grass!' echoed in the air, directed at Mikey, but he remained standing and didn't say anything.

"Go on, kiddo," Yagi said. "You heard them."

Mikey looked back at Nika before scrouching down. The crowd got even wilder when he pulled a handful of grass from the ground.

"Mikey, what are you doing?!" Nika was screaming despite the loud mocking cheers. "Mikey, no!"

"Eat grass! Eat grass!"
"Go shrimpy!"
"Chew it!"

With his grass-filled fist, Mikey stood up, and instead of putting it to his mouth like what everyone was telling him to do, he aimed his hand and threw it Yagi. A rock came flying, hitting Panthera Tigris' president straight on the forehead.

The air went silent.

Surprised, Yagi put a hand on his forehead, feeling a warm liquid suddenly flowing out where the rock hit. He glared at Mikey, clenching his teeth. "You fucking—"

"I don't fucking care about what you say." Mikey's face was so serious that it was almost blank, voice just above a whisper. "Let her go."

"You really want your shrimpy ass get beaten, huh?!"

"Let her go and fight me like a real man, you fucking pussy."

"What a fucking arrogant!" A smug guy of dark complexion stepped forward, cocking his head. It was Panthera Tigris Shibuya Chapter 1st Division Leader, Kyo Doichi. He looked at his president. "Yagi, leave him to me. Let me teach this guy a lesson."
