Chapter 86: Accompanied Coffee

"Let's get this over with E, come out and show your face like a man" -Alexander said as he kept looking at the camera.

{Wow, I'm amazed at the beastly strength you've achieved, you're not just a kid playing gangsta anymore}

The words coming out of the speaker had a dark and annoying edge to it, apparently E was quite furious due to his failed experiment.

{For now I'll have to retire, but next time my experiment will be better, this was just a test}

With those last words the voice that was coming out of the horn before was cut off, pro next to this the door that before remained closed is opened.

"That guy is crazy...Did he really just use someone as his hostage? It's not normal at all" -Richard said these words while approaching the unconscious boy.

"Hey Alexander...You gotta see this" -Imperial's hero was speechless at the sight of the boy's body, so Alexander approaches.

"He...He's dead..."

Though it was only a minute Alexander's mind was filled with several doubts, he had helped take down Victor before but he had never influenced a death so much.

"Yes...It's...What I'm trying to say is..." -Even though Richard tried to speak his words wouldn't come out,, it was the first time he had seen na death so close.

Apparently what killed the boy was not Alexander's blow, it was E's experiment which was still half flawed.

"Alexander placed his hands on his friend's shoulders, cutting off his words, if Richard continued talking his mind would go.

"Leave? Alexander we have a damn body in front of us and you're telling me to leave, you're crazy!" shouted Richard, who could not assume what he was seeing.

""PAM""

The next thing that could be heard in the warehouse was the sound of a thump, Alexander had hit Richard to calm him down.

"Listen to me Richard!!! this is not our fault, do you think I'm happy about this? Obviously I'm not but that doesn't mean I'm going to let E get away with it.

Richard just remained silent while he assimilated Alexander's words, what Alexander told him was true, they can't do anything.

"What will happen to the body? Oh right... This shitty city is dominated by gangs the authorities will simply see it as just another casualty."

Richard was answering his own question as he looked down, what he said was true, lately the authorities are not doing their job properly, some say they have been bought off by the gangs.

"Yes, we should go now" -Said Alexander who was heading for the door, to minutes later Richard followed suit and left.

They both went home that night but with two different thoughts, Alexander thought about finding out who E is since he could be a threat and Richard decided to become stronger so as not to lose anyone ever again.

"Hey carbron, what are you supposed to do? I told you several times that coffee goes in that place, not down there."

The weekend morning had arrived, Alexander had decided to go to the coffee shop to manage some things, but he only finds chaos, he was planning to go with Richard but left him resting.

"Hey you guys know we're opening in 15 minutes right? So... What is Felix doing up on one of the tables?" -I say Alexander while pointing at Felix.

"Oh, hi captain, I'm just confirming the quality of the tables while I guide Marcus with to place the coffee" -Felix would instantly reply with his usual humorous touch.

"Felix... Get off the tables" -Alexander gave his order reluctantly while Felix complied instantly.

"Well, well but if it's our leader I don't do anything in this coffee, what does your highness want, a coffee that says the words, I'm a damn chess player?"

Marcus who was preparing the coffee speaks reluctantly to Alexander, he looked quite annoyed because of the tournament Alexander should not work with the store.

"Come on Marcus it's only for a week and that's it" -Alexander was saying these words while receiving a cappuccino made by Marcus, although he was angry lately he has become good in fact.

"Well your highness, since it's only for a week I need an update, how is the whole plan to take down the White Wolves going? Since for me, playing chess is not the best solution" - Marcus asked reluctantly.

"For now that is the solution, we need someone to infiltrate the White Wolves headquarters, you and I can't since we must defend this territory in case of an attack and the others are not qualified."

Alexander was explaining to the tyrant as he took a sip of his coffee, the plan to take down the White Wolves has been delayed a bit, but everything is going to change when he recruits Gary, in the future Gary was a person of renown and quite handsome, he was sure that if he recruited him he would be perfect for the job.

"Good morning, they're open!"

The sound of the door interrupts the boys' conversation, as they appear they were customers.

"Yeah, we're almost to..."

Alexander was starting to answer to the customers what seems to be a couple, but Marcus imterposes himself in the middle of both of them.

"Alexander, these guys are dangerous, these are not customers" -Said Marcus alerting Felix who took some distance from the couple.

"Enemies? Who are they? -Alexander decides to move from Marcus' back and look at the couple who were just looking at them with a smile.

"Hahahaha, that was the thing I've ever seen in my entire life!"

The boy of the couple starts laughing to see Marcus' reaction, this one had spiky hair dyed purple, he was the leader of Toxic Dash.

"Hahahahaha, yes sweetheart the guard dog was ready to attack instantly" -The girl was also teasing, brown hair, a gold pircing on her lips and a headband in her hair in the shape of a skull, she was Amelia the second in command in Toxic.

"What the fuck do you want here, is this an attack?" -Marcus asked reluctantly, he had had a bad experience with Dash before.

"Attack? No man no way, if it was an attack I would have done it already, I just came for coffee" -Responded Dash as he approached the showing off.

"You must be the leader of Imperial, nice to meet you, I'm Dash the leader of Toxic" -Although he looked like a classic TV gang member Dash introduces himself politely.

(Leader of Toxic? It was clear to me that in the future the leader of Toxic was the girl back there, but I didn't know any Dash).

Alexander's memories start to mix up, in the future the person leading Toxic before its destruction was Amelia not Dash.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Alexander" -Still with doubts in his mind Alexander answers her with a smile.

"Hey Alexander did you hit your head or something?" We have the leader of Toxic in front of us, he is the enemy!"-Marcus yelled at Alexander for looking so confident.

"Relax Marcus , he doesn't seem like a bad person, I don't sense that about him" -Alexander said as he went inside to pour Dash a coffee.

What he was saying was true, in case Dash had come with hostile intentions the system would have warned him, but it was not the case.

"Yeah, yeah yeah yeah man, stop looking for excuses to pick a fight and go to work" -Felix feeling a bit calmer took the opportunity to lie down on one of the tables.

"...Okey, let's say you came for a simple coffee, why to ours? There are plenty of coffee shops in town" -Unable to believe the others' words Marcus opts to ask Dash another question.

"That's my fault big guy, I told her I wanted to come here since a friend said the coffee here was really good" -Amelia lightly slaps Marcus' back as she answers him.

"Yeah, I told her that this coffee shop was dominated by another gang but she existed" -Following his girlfriend's answer Dash tastes the coffee made by Alexander showing a happy face.

"Yes, but you are very strong sweetheart, I'm sure you could defeat them all if you want to"

The last comment of the girl put the imperial trio on alert, if Amelia said this it was because she had enough confidence in Dash.

(Defeat us all? That's something I have to confirm myself).

[You are using the skill:]

[Observe]

Being a bit wary of Amelia's words Alexander decides to look at Dash's stats.

[Error]

[The player cannot analyze the stats of people with the status: Reborn].

(Wait, what the hell just happened, reborn? I had heard that word before but never thought to see it in him).

"Hey Dash, since you don't come with plan to fight, what motivates you to be continue being a gangbanger?" -Alexander asked with more interest in his client while putting a cake on him.

"Being a gangbanger, well simple buddy, in the beginning I started to survive, a kid from the streets can't live without fighting, but now that I have the power I will go to the top, I will finish with those demons."

Dash disliked the dessert as he replied, it seems he's aiming for the big time.

"Demons, which demons?" -Marcus asked also interested.

"Yes, the three demons that rule this city, the three great families."
