Chapter 35: Race for land

(I hope this plan works)

25 minutes had passed since the team split up after Alexander gave the order to start the operation.

(I trust the rumors, but… Are there really several gangs fighting in this place?)

Alexander who was currently alone, asked himself this question in his mind, it was quite strange that in a place where there is supposedly a war there is no trace of anyone.

(Maybe they are resting, it was a good idea to come early).

Alexander decides to rest his walk by hiding in an alley and then pulls out his phone.

{Alex55:All clear on my side, what about you guys}

Alexander decides to confirm the status of his team, for the plan to work, they all needed to be separated.

{SophiaB: All is well over here too}

{Richard Reid: Alan and I are also clear}

{DeathGod: Fuck there’s no one here to fight how boring}

{SophiaB: The point of the mission is not to fight, dummy}

{DeathGod: Shut up}

{Alex55: Don’t start fighting, what about you Felix}

The seconds ticked by, but Felix had not responded to the message.

{SophiaB: Felix?}

{DeathGod Hahaha they already wiped him out}

{Richard Reid: Hey don’t say things like that}

{Alex55: Felix are you ok?}

Alexander was starting to worry about Felix’s condition, the seconds ticked by to two minutes and still no response.

{ProDragon: Sorry, I had my phone on airplane mode, hehehe yeah I’m fine}

(Son of a bitch…) -Alexander showed a calm and angry expression at the same time while reading Felix’s message.

{Richard Reid: Glad to hear that}

{DeathGod: Hahahaha you’re such a bastard}

{SophiaB: Next time please be dead}

{Alex55: I hope it doesn’t happen again… Let’s get on with the plan…}

Alexander after feeling rested and calm, decides to get up and continue his course.

(I must get there…) -Alexander started to walk again while his eyes marked his destination, which is the Rockflex Mansion.

(The plan itself is simple, but in practice it is more complicated).

Alexander was again repeating the plan in his mind as he ran all over the place.

(First the leader of the group, that is me, must get to the mansion of Mr. Rocker Felixton, where I must ask to speak to him. While I go there, my team must collect information about the rival gangs, that is, they must get into the rival’s territory and steal information. With the leaked information we must negotiate with RockFlex and then we will take over the empty field).

Alexander was very confident in this plan, maybe that’s why there are not so many people on the streets, the gangs are avoiding revealing as much information as possible.

-What is that?

Focusing his sight in the distance, Alexander manages to see two people fighting each other….

(Looks like someone is fighting, I should get closer to steal information) -Decreasing his speed, Alexander gets closer to see who was fighting.

-Wow, wow it’s one of the White Wolves’ fools….

Apparently what they were fighting were two people from opposing gangs.

-What’s it to you motherfucker? It’s not like Toxic is better than us.

(Toxic? Is he really part of that gang? Toxic was a strong and famous gang, so strong that they aspired to something very big…)

Alexander decided to rummage through his memories of his past life for information about the gang as he looked at the two men.

(They had enough power to be considered a fourth great gang, but they decided to attack the great families and instead, that day was their total annihilation due to the Smith,Bromck and Velomht families joining together ending it completely).

Alexander felt quite nervous as he recalled such an event, the great families really were great powers and that day they proved it.

-At least we don’t lose against the wimps of Heroes…..

-You crossed the line. -The White Wolves recruit gets into a Karate stance.

(What the hell is it…)

[You have used the skill: Observe]

Alexander who was curious to know who the guy was, tell him to analyze it on his own.

[Takeda Milo]-[Stats: Strength Rank C+ 99 points, Intelligence Rank C: 65 points, Speed Rank B-: 110 points, Defense Rank B: 139 points, Constitution Rank E: 12 points, Social Rank D-: 20 points]

(I knew it’s Takeda, I couldn’t recognize him because of his new hairstyle, he has become a bit stronger, with this new stats update everything is more accurate)

Alexander was showing bad face to recognize a known enemy if Takeda finds out this one would be finished…..

-They sure are strong, aren’t they?

A voice is heard right behind Alexander who was about to scream out of fright, but is stopped by the person responsible, who holds his mouth with his hands.

-Don't make noise, or they will find out... -A boy Alejandro's age was the cause of all this commotion, what distinguishes him most is his dyed red hair.

(Who the hell is this guy? How the hell did I not hear him?)

Alexander who was still nervous, wondered to himself who is the person behind him, which he couldn’t sense before.

-Well, you seem to have calmed down, sorry for scaring you sometimes I’m impulsive. -The young man lets Alexander free while keeping an embarrassed look on his face.

(He doesn’t look like a hostile person, but who the hell is he supposed to be?)

-Easy, equally my fault for shouting. -Alexander apologizes to the boy and decides to talk to him, for him it’s best to get to know him slowly in case he needs to know something about him.

-Don’t worry, we will have time to chat another time, for now what matters is….

The young man points at the two rivals, who were fighting, so Alexander focuses his sight on them again.

-Fuck you bastard, since when were you so strong?

The Toxic member was trying to fight Takeda, but it was in vain, Takeda’s movements were far superior to what Alexander saw that day, so it didn’t take him long to win the duel.

-You’re a weakling, I have no time for you. -After mocking his rival, Takeda decided to leave the place.

-He is very strong. The red-haired young man was excited to see how the fight ended.

(Of that I have no doubt, although I won with my ability “runner”, it will cost me more than the previous time) -Alexander made a face of pain and concern, the simple fact of having to face Takeda again made his hair stand on end.

-I’m going. -Alexander was getting ready to follow his pace, if he really wanted to accomplish this mission he had to hurry.

-Well, are you leaving already? In which direction are you going? -The boy, opting to ask, apparently intended to accompany Alexander.

-I’m going to the RockFlex mansion, what about you?

-I’m going to that place too, how about if I accompany you?

The young man answers Alexander with a nice smile, everything seems to indicate that they will be companions during the whole mission.

(Are you planning to go to the mansion? Maybe you belong to a gang?)

-Hey, are you from a gang? I can’t see your distinctive clothing.

Alexander asked quizzically,,, normally everyone here has their own gang uniform, it helps the teams find each other.

-Ah… I just lost my coat. -The young man replies to Alexander with a sheepish grin on his face.

(Poor guy, he’s probably a new member and they made him a scapegoat).

Feeling a little sorry for the boy, they both decide to head towards their destination.

-Hey, I’ve never seen your gang’s coat before, is it new?

-Yes, we literally created it yesterday. -Alexander replies to his now new companion, who seems interested in learning more about Alexander’s team.

-Yesterday? Wow, that’s what I call having balls, how do you come here with a newly created gang?

Alexander knew he was right, if it wasn’t for the system’s mission he would never have done something like this.

-We will have to take the risk. -Trying to look cool, Alexander gives him that answer.

-That’s true, hey….

The young man stops abruptly and turns his attention to an alley.

-I think I saw a dog in there.

-What’s so important about that? -Alexander asked, not understanding the importance of the dog in this place.

-Pay a little attention, there are traces of blood, maybe it’s wounded, I’ll go check it out, wait for me.

-Alexander tried to stop the young man, but it was too late, he was already inside the alley.

(Fuck this bastard…) -Alexander decides to wait for him and looks back.

-You can come out, I know you are there. -An order was recited by Alexander who already knew there were enemies.

-Well, it seems that you discovered us.

Several guys who were hiding come out, apparently they were part of DemonBlue.

-We were planning to attack you from behind and finish you off, but we’ll have to fight.

(Shit, this is getting complicated, there are 5 people and I’m currently alone, but if I use “Runner” I’ll get too worn out and I won’t be able to continue with the mission).

Alexander got into combat position while thinking what to do in his mind.

-Ready, I told you there was a dog. The red-haired young man comes out of the alley with a white dog in his hands.

-Oh my, are we in the middle of a fight?

This one with his same nonchalant face looked at the scene.

(What the hell is wrong with this guy, is he demented or what?)

Alexander, who could not understand why his partner was not worried, decided to focus on his rivals, but…

-What… What the hell is this guy doing here? From a distance he could not be recognized well.

The opponents in front of Alexander were trembling with fear as they watched their companion.

-What…? What the hell is the leader of Heroes doing here?
