Chapter 31: Perfect Duo

One day before Felix and Alexander’s fight, Alexander had something important to do.

-What the hell do you want, you bastard? Alexander, who was alone in the classroom, which was over, waited patiently in the classroom.

-Alexander smiles and welcomes Marcus, who doesn’t seem at all upset.

-I did come, what do you want, are you going to start a fight against me one day before fighting that show-off Felix?

(Fuck this guy is very aggressive) -Alexander seeing Marcus’ behavior decides to take some distance and then explain himself.

-Truthfully… Before I explain you I must ask you a question, do you know the gangs? (First of all I would like to see how much he knows about the subject).

-The gangs? They are the city organizations of the golden count which do illegal business to earn money and fight each other. But why the question?

Marcus answers instantly without any problem, leaving Alexander very satisfied with his answer.

-Exactly, you seem to know about it, now truthfully?

Alexander took some air to be able to explain his next point in the best possible way.

-Would you like to be part of my gang? -Alexander asks without basilarity, which leaves Marcus surprised.

-A gang? Since when do you have a gang? -Marcus, who was surprised by the proposal, decides to ask.

-No, I don’t have one yet, but I plan to make one and I want you to join.

-What the fuck… Are you fucking listening to your own words? Are you telling me that you plan to form a gang just between the two of us and it will work out?

Marcus holds Alexander by the neck tightly as he looked angry, even though he and Sophia are very different they both had come to the same conclusion.

-No, the gang won’t be just the two of us, Sophia Bromck is also involved. -Alexander doesn’t get flustered by Marcus’ sudden action and decides to explain calmly.

(Although this is a half-truth, after all, if I don’t defeat Felix she’s not going to join).

-Miss Goldilocks is going to join the team? -Marcus, who didn’t like the proposal before, seems to think about it some more.

-Well, I can understand why you want Goldilocks to join, but why do you want me to join too?

Marcus didn’t understand the cause of Alexander’s actions, he even thought that Alexander hated him because of the trouble he caused him before.

-Yes, we may be different and have our differences, but we have both seen what this world is like.

Although Marcus had lived like a king all his life, after his defeat all the people except Eva had abandoned him, at that moment Marcus realized that this world was cruel.

-Do you think that by giving me some pity I’m going to join? Don’t make me laugh you bastard.

Marcus was a bit annoyed by the request, for Alexander he just wanted to use his strength.

-Talvez, but… aren’t you tired of living in a world like this? A world where only the strong survive and the weak are thrown away.

Alexander knew more than anyone how cruel the world could be, although his body was young, his soul was that of a man who had always been down, being trampled on by others.

-Why don’t we change that? -Although the trigger for these actions was the system’s mission. Alexander had a strong desire to completely change his life, no matter how difficult it was.

-Change this? You think a single gang can change everything? -Marcus, still in denial, asked.

-Yes we can, but for that I need your help, I need your strength or I won’t be able to do it. -For Alexander, who came from a few years in the future, he knew the great influence that gangs have in society, being able to rival the big families.

-You promise me that if I help you I’ll be able to stomp on the faces of all those bastards? -For Marcus his greatest achievement would be to stomp on the faces of all those who abandoned him, all those who did anything less, especially that guy, his father.

-I promise you… together we will make it. -Alexander extends his hand with a smile, which Marcus squeezes with a smile more of pride than happiness.

That day would be the beginning of the gang, which would change the city of the golden count completely.

-Well, let’s finish them all.

[Congratulations]

[Marcus Watters has joined your team]

That day would mark the beginning of Alexander Del Ryo’s gang.

-Hey motherfucker, that hurt.

Returning to the present, a refreshed Felix had been hit by Marcus, but instead of having an expression of anger or pain, his face showed a big smile.

-Do you want to play with me Marcus? Come on let’s play, let’s play.

[You are using the combat skill: Knockout Points].

But to the surprise of his rival, Alexander at a great speed hits Felix several times.

-Hahaha, you want to play too Alexander? -Felix, who was unable to suffer any damage, holds Alexander and sends him flying.

-Fuck you bastard, what the hell is wrong with you?

Marcus instantly throws a punch which connects directly to Felix’s nose.

-Hahahaha your punches have improved. -Undeterred, Felix hits Marcus with a roundhouse kick.

(Shit, Felix’s problem is that he’s incapable of taking any kind of damage, that makes him fucking annoying) -Alexander was trying to get close to Felix again, this time going for his legs.

But Feliz dodges it without any difficulty.

[The runner skill has only 1 minute left]

(I have to hurry, I spent an upgrade chip on this skill, but I only increased it from one minute to two, it’s still not useful for long duration fights)

To defeat Felix, the minimum that Alexander must last is three minutes, of which he only had one.

-It seems that this joker doesn’t hurt when he’s hit. -Marcus had quickly come to that conclusion from a simple exchange of blows.

-Yes, that’s right, what do you have in mind?

-What’s on my mind? -Marcus took off his shirt to fight better, as he warmed up a bit.

-Well, I’m going to hit him.

After saying those words, Marcus lunges at Felix who does the same with a smile on his face.

-Well. -Alexander also goes straight to attack Felix with the few seconds of his ability he had left- -I plan to do the same.

-Wow, this is crazy

-If this is a fight involving all three kings, this is just great.

-Come on Marcus, kick him in the face.

With that shout from Eva, the crowd was going crazy, a fight of this caliber is something I would never have thought to see.

[The runner skill only has 30 seconds left].

Alexander and Marcus were coordinating as best they could to defeat Felix, who was just taking the blows without any damage.

-Are you a zombie bastard? -Several blows were directed to Felix’s stomach, who laughed and countered with a kick.

[Combined Skill: Counter Strike+Knockout Points]

A strong counter punch hits Felix’s face which leaves him stunned for a few seconds.

[Runner skill only has 10 seconds left].

Seeing that his ability was going to end, Alexander takes some distance as he prepared himself.

-Marcus, I need you to buy me some time.

[Status Skill: Runner is finished]

[Implying use damage]

Alexander’s whole body felt heavy and he was about to faint.

-Gloton.

[You summoned Wolverine]

Glutton instantly appears next to Alexander ready for his task.

[You have taken out the item: Glutton’s healing candy.]

[You have used the item: Healing Candy]

[You have recovered 20% of your maximum health].

(My body still feels heavy, I need more time) -Alexander was trying to rest to get back to the fight.

-Hahaha, Alexander is tired, now he is weak, he is tired I will go for him.

Felix seeing Alexander’s state ran straight to him with a smile to attack him.

-Where do you think you are going?

[Marcus Watters has used Terror]

[Terror]-[Fear, fear and more fear. When an enemy falls into this ability, he won’t be able to run away from the opponent and his intelligence will drop exponentially]

Felix which was going straight to attack Alexander is, is flooded by a great pressure in his chest, which makes him slow down.

-Hahahaha you’re kind of scary Marcus. -Being less intelligent than before, Felix runs straight to Marcus who accepts his invitation without any problem.

-That laugh is annoying, why don’t I break your teeth? -Two punches are directed to Felix who smiles and throws one more kick.

-O no cabron, I know that one. -Marcus holds Felix’s leg and throws him hard to the ground.

But when he tries to finish him off he is greeted by a kick to the jaw.

-Hahahahahaha, you play very well Marcus. -Felix was taking distance without having suffered any damage.

[The time of immunity of the Joker is over.]

(Well…)

-Let’s get this over with.

Alexander, who was resting, gets up from the ground and prepares to finish the fight.

-Hahahaha, Alexander you look good. -Felix happily goes straight to Alexander who doesn’t flinch at all.

[You have used the combat skill: Counter Strike.]

-A punch goes straight into Felix’s jaw sending him flying.

[The opponent has lost 10% of his maximum defense].

-Hey, that really hurt. -Felix, who was starting to gush blood from his nose, looked annoyed.

-This will hurt more. -Behind Felix, an angry Marcus hits him, sending him in the opposite direction.

-It hurts, it hurts.

Felix, who was on his knees, screamed in pain.

-Well, I’ll make it stop hurting.

Alexander steps in front of Felix to give him a direct punch in the face.

[You have defeated the enemy]

[Instant Mandatory Mission: Prankster’s Pranks]

[Completed]
