SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 102 First Appearance of Dragon Hall(3)

Inside a warehouse, a group of injured men are being kicked on the ground by their fellow gangsters, who are wearing suits and holding bats.

"Hahaha, dumbass, you think everyone will praise you for what you did?! Dumbass, what you did will never get to the media! You are just a few minutes away before you are turned into bones," said a gangster as he steps on the gangster's head on the ground.

"Hahaha, leader, this guys almost had a conflict with a VIP because of a girl. If not for our mediation, we might have lost an important customer! These guys have been eyesores for so long!" said another gangster as he kicked a guy on the ground.

A man with orange hair sitting on a couch is smoking a cigarette as he watches the scene. He is wearing black pants and a white polo with figures of flame. He threw the cigarette, then took another stick. He put it in his mouth, then lit it with fire magic. His name is Kosa.

He took the cigarette between his fingers, and he let out smoke from his mouth. He stood up from his couch and approached the injured men.

The gangsters give way to Kosa.

"Acck!" Mike, the leader of the injured men, coughed out blood as Kosa suddenly kicked his abdomen.

Kosa lowered his body and used his left hand to grab Mike's hair.

"Hahahaha, dumbass! How dare you let our commodities run away?!" Kosa shouted.

"T-They are not commodities. They are girls forced by you for prostitution," said Mike as blood drips from his mouth.

"Hahahaha, a gangster actually cares about that! Isn't it funny?!" asked Kosa to the gangsters that injured Mike and his comrades. The gangsters also laugh at the naivety of Mike and his comrades.

Mike chuckles when he hears them laughing at what they did.

"When our group was under Mr. An's leadership, we were fed by our legitimate business. We did not force prostitution, and the small protection fees we collected were just symbolic to announce our presence in this area."

Kosa laughs louder when he heard Mike.

Pak! Kosa suddenly slapped Mike's face. He pulled Mike's face closer.

He grins, puts the burning tip of the cigarette on Mike's forehead, and presses it.

"Ackk!" Mike gritted his teeth as the cigarette burns his forehead.

Kosa chuckles and says,"I don't care about your past. This is now my turf, my rule."

Kosa grabs Mike's neck with his right hand and lifts him up.

Fire appears on the fingers that grab Mike's neck.

"Acck!" Mike cannot scream because Kosa is grabbing his throat.

"All of you will be burned. You all will be set as a good example for disobedient dogs." Kosa stretches his left hand toward the comrades of Mike lying on the ground. A magic circle is forming on his left hand.

Mike struggles. He punches and kicks Kosa. Kosa is clad in an aura. He did not budge and just laughs.

Mike looks at his comrades. They smile at him and move their hands. It a sign of their friendship, no regrets. Tears flow from Mike.

Kosa continues to laugh.

Bang! The roof of the warehouse is broken.

Shoo! Shoo! Lightning daggers flew from Edgar's hands and hit the foreheads of the standing gangsters.

Lightning is flashing on Edgar's body. A purple magic circle appears on his right hand.

Boom! He charges from the air toward Kosa. A lightning lance formed on his right hand.

Kosa looks shocked, then grits his teeth and throws Mike toward Edgar. A magic circle formed on his right hand. The fire element gathered and formed a fire lance.

Edgar jumped forward while rotating his body in mid-air, then stabbed his lightning lance. Kosa also stabbed his fire lance.

Bang! The lightning lance is blocked.

Edgar jumped back. He stretched his left hand with a magic circle.

A water ribbon appears and supports Mike's body in the air. Edgar directed the water ribbon to bring him down to the ground, then he dispersed the water ribbon.

Edgar knows them. Their boss, Mr. An, was a good philanthropist. He was featured in the news before. They are a rare kind of gangster. Too bad, Mr. An died last year, and their philanthropy stopped when someone took over their group.

Potions came out of his storage space. The potion burst, and shimmering red lights shower Mike and his comrades. Their condition became a lot better. He also gave them a briefcase of money.

"Take it and leave. I know the good things that you did with Mr. An," said Edgar. Mike and his comrades tremble. Their eyes became watery. Mr. An was like their father. They did not expect that a powerful hyperbeing would appreciate Mr. An's good deed and even save them.

"Thank you very much! We will forever remember your help!" said Mike and others while bowing deeply.

"Mister, what is your nam-?" Mike patted the shoulder of their youngest comrade and stopped his questioning. The youngest seemed to understand, then they immediately retreated.

"Gangsters really have sharper minds. They understand that I want to hide my identity," said Edgar while smiling.

Kosa became angry when he heard Edgar.

"Fuck you! I know who you are even if you disguise and wear a mask!"?Kosa furiously shouted.

"What?" Edgar is shocked.

"Did I make a mistake with my disguise?" Edgar asked himself.

"Fuck you, Evenheart! Your guild is the only one that has the motive to attack us!" said Kosa.

"Evenheart? Isn't that the guild where Susan and the others belong? Are they also acting like vigilantes?" thought Edgar.

Kosa's face turned hideous as he stares at Edgar.

"You Evenheart members want to act like heroes! You repeatedly attack gangsters, but your guild is already warned by many guilds! Once they know that you attacked us again, many guilds will declare war on Evenheart! Kneel and crawl, or else your guild will be destroyed!" said Kosa with a grin.
