Kay kicked the arm of the man who was trying to stab the girl in the baseball cap with a dagger. The dagger bounced, and the man screamed in pain. He was furious and wanted to retaliate. However, the man backed away in fear when he saw Kay Liavin standing there.

His other two comrades hid in a dark alley to trip the girl, and the other waited not far away; they all backed away in fear as soon as they realized Kay was coming.

"Just watch; one day, I will definitely repay you!" shouted the man whose leg Kay kicked. They just ran wild and left their guns on the road.

"Today, we often pass each other," said Kay casually. "Usually, I just sneak glances through the window in my office."

Kay bent down and reached out to the girl sprawled out on the wet street. "Are you okay?"

The girl slapped Kay's hand roughly. She chose to stand alone even though with difficulty. "What do you want? You also want to snatch my bounty this time?"

"Even though we've been neighbors for several months, this is the first time I've heard you speak. And just now, I realized that you are a woman." Kay pointed at the girl's jacket. "Your clothes are dirty and wet. You can get sick if you wear wet clothes on a cold night."

The girl immediately lowered the hem of her hat and lowered her face. "I'm fine. Just ignore me! And... thanks for your help. I will definitely repay you!" The line is ready to go.

"Why do you still want to work for that person?" Kay asked.

Kay's question made the girl stop completely. But she just stood there; she didn't look back and didn't answer Kay's question. She was about to take another step when Kay asked his next question.

"What would Henry Cruise do if he found out you were actually a girl?" Kay leaned on one leg against one of the shop walls. He started to take out his cigarette and lit it.

The baseball cap line clenched her hands at her sides. She did not leave and turned to Kay with substantial and fast steps.

"It's enough!" the girl snapped at Kay, red-faced. She tried to hold back the tears on her bruised face. "I need a place to stay! Don't meddle in my business. Don't come near me, or he'll scold me again!"

The girl turned away and left Kay, who was still enjoying his cigarette near the alley.

"Hey!" Kay shouted one last time. "But, I'm sorry. Henry Cruise is not coming back tonight!"

The girl's eyes opened wide. She immediately turned around to ask Kay for an explanation, but the place Kay had been standing was now empty. The man was no longer there and had nowhere to go.

"Henry?" The girl was shaking violently.

On the other hand, Malvinn was on a rampage. He slashed a katana at a customer Henry Cruise who had just left with a bag of drugs. Malvinn's face was terrifying. He grinned between the thick splatter of blood. Malvinn's hands kept swinging and moving. He slashed the sword at Henry's customer.

Henry and his men, who were still there, watched all this in horror. The wet and dark district streets were filled with pools of rain mixed with blood. A rancid smell wafted from the bodies of Henry's customers who were lying mixed with urine from the dirty and dirty alleys.

"What did you see?" Henry shouted. "Fix that, man!" he ordered the men, who were still stunned.

Henry's men attack Malvinn at the same time. Henry witnessed his men being cut down by Malvinn using only one sword. Henry started to pull out his gun and aimed it at Malvinn.

When Henry's gun spits bullets, Malvinn spins around and pulls one of Henry's men as a shield. The bullet pierced the body of one of Henry's men and fell to the ground.

"Fuck!" Henry cursed. He started running away with a number of his remaining men.

Malvinn raised his bare, bloody sword to ear level. Slightly hunched over, he ran at full speed, silently, and lunged at Henry's three henchmen protecting his boss's departure.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

One of Malvinn's slashes fell on Henry's men's necks. They did not have time to scream and collapsed instantly. When Malvinn was about to hunt down and slash Henry, a shot was shot by one of Henry's men.

Malvinn moved quickly. The twin pendants around his neck swayed and clinked every time he jumped. Henry's men, who realized the existence of the locket, began to turn pale and save themselves.

"Hey, asshole! What are you doing?" Henry shouted. "You guys are going to run like cowards?" He fired another few bullets at Malvinn.

"You better save yourself, Henry!" shouted one of his men. "He is a member of the Rogue Brothers. He's the pendant hooligan."

"What do you mean by your bullshit?" cried Henry through clenched jaws.

Henry kept firing bullets at Malvinn. However, Malvinn could swiftly dodge, jump against the wall, and flip through the air to slash another of Henry's men who tried to shoot him.

Henry also ran with his remaining men. They escaped into the narrow alleys between the buildings.

"Fuck! Why are you taking us to a dead-end alley? There's no way out of here."

Henry and his men are trapped at the end of the alley and getting increasingly panicked.

Malvinn's scabbard was tied around his waist belt. As for the blade of his sword, which was covered in fresh blood, he gripped it firmly in his right hand. Malvinn walked while dragging the tip of his sword across the asphalt surface. The scraping sound of Malvinn's sword stifled Henry and his men.

"Boss, what should we do? We have to find a way out of here!" His men were so panicked and scared. They groped the high wall between the two buildings. There was no window they could reach and no place to hide.

"Damn!" Henry cursed. "Why do we have to run away? He was alone, and the five of us. We have to attack him. We have weapons."

The sound of a sword slashing sounded closer and closer. Henry and the rest of his men are getting scared. They try to escape and find another way. But, Malvinn, with clothes and a face full of splattered blood, was already standing in front of them.

"Wait!" Henry shouted. "Okay, we give up!"

Henry's four subordinates were confused by the boss's statement, who had previously ordered them to fight.

"We don't want anything to do with the Rogue Brothers or the pendant delinquents! Don't you work because you get paid? Who pays you guys? How much money did you receive? I can pay you guys more than they offer?"

Henry felt a breath of fresh air. He started grinning and thought that he would succeed in the negotiations this time. With his money, he would buy the Rogue Brothers to fight back against the one who paid them.

"Right!" said Henry's men. "If you're willing to join us, Henry will pay you twice as much as you get."

"Yes, I can pay you three times more than you pay!" said Henry, bragging.

Malvinn froze in his place. His face was expressionless. He just listened to what Henry said while thinking.

In the next second, Malvinn suddenly grinned as he raised his sword at ear level. He was ready to lunge at Henry and the rest of his men. But at the same time, a shot erupted toward Malvinn's back.
