Return of the Dragon Master

Chapter 4

“Hssshhh.” Jillian groaned in pain, he could feel his bones had broken and could barely move, the attack had damaged him badly.

His other men sprawled on the floor unable to fight anymore because of how badly they’ve been injured. Lewis on the other hand breathed heavily in anger as he stared at them.

“Is that all you’ve got?” He snorted walking towards Jillian who was struggling to get up. Lewis pulled him up by neck, hanging him in the air. “How dare you hurt my parents? How does it feel to be hurt the same way?”

His hand tightened around his neck, a burning sensation formed in his throat as blood spurted out of his mouth when he tried to speak. Jillian struggled to break free but his strength couldn’t match up with Lewis’ own.

Getting a little strength he punched Lewis but his hand was caught mid way, a kick to his belly sent him flying across another direction. Groaning Jillian slowly sold to his feet, catching sight of a beer bottle, he smirked sure that this was going to take out Lewis, he grabbed it and flung it, his move was too slow that Lewis caught him mad head butted him.

Fresh blood splurged from his nose and mouth as his headache in pain. “I’m going to teach you why you need to keep your hands to yourself.” Lewis’ hand tightened around Jillian’s wrist, causing him to let go of the bottle, wincing in pain.

“Get away from me.” Jillian screamed. 

“Not after you receive what befits you, you dare lay your filthy hands on my parents?” He slowly bent his hands letting Jillian feel every bit of pain.

“Damn you! They deserve it.”  Jillian scowled through seething teeth.

“And so do you.” Without holding back Lewis trusted his hand, dislocating it and breaking it at the same time.

A loud cry erupted from Jillian as he screamed, 

Lewis stared quietly at him with cold eyes.

Jillian was confined to scream in pain, he was in excruciating pain as his body barely able to move, that’s when it dawned on him that this man wasn’t the Lewis he knees before, he had become…. A monster! 

In all his years of fighting, he had never encountered someone with this much strength and agility, Jillian knew fighting back would cause his inevitable death so he pleaded. 

“Don’t kill me, set me free.” Jillian begged.

Lewis was furious, his blood boiling and even though he had taken out everyone he still wasn’t satisfied, they had oppressed his family and he wasn’t going to let them get away so easily.

“If you still have a heart in you, please listen to me, weren't you going to marry Max’s sister? Yes! You will marry her.” Jillian tried to reason with him and for a moment it seemed to have made Lewis change his mind.

“Who do you serve?” Lewis questioned.

“What?” Jillian cocked his head in confusion.

“Where is your master?” Lewis asked again, grabbing his hair. “He has to settle your debt.”

Jillian trembled in fear under the hands of Lewis, never in his years had he thought he would be humiliated to this extent that his master would have to hear about this. He didn’t dare utter a word knowing how furious his master would. E and he would be degraded to a lower rank, how could he bring himself that low?

“Don’t waste my time.” Lewis yanked his head back. “Where is your master, tell me where he is!” He pulled Jillian’s hair even harder, making him feel the same pain his father felt.

“Please stop.” Jillian screamed, he could feel some of his hair tear off his scalp.

“Speak now or would you rather lose your entire head?” Lewis threatened . “I’ll ask again, who is your master?”

More terrified of Lewis he hissed through the pain and spoke. “He’s from the dark prism group.”

Nearing the name, Lewis let go of him and paused for a moment.

It’s not cool that he knew the group, they were a group of Loan sharks that prey on feeble people that borrow from them, giving them unpayable interest.

Knowing this he wondered just how long his parents must have suffered in their hands.

Clenching his jaw je was sore to make them pay even those who had merely ordered this dimwits to do so.

Lewis didn’t care who he was going up against, he was going to break them all.

“I was only following orders, please spare me.” Jillian cried, making Lewis turn his attention to him but Lewis didn’t have time to toy with his weaklings, kicking Jillian in the gut and sending him flying to a wall.

“You had better not leave that spot.” He warned before walking off.

Turning around he walked inside to be sure his parents were okay before cleaning himself up, it had only been a year since he saw them but so much had changed.

How mother was extremely sick, her once dark hair was now white and frail, with wrinkles spread across her face.

“Mom.” He called out softly, gently pulling her into a hug.

“My baby, did they hurt you? Are you okay?” Allison pulled away from the hug to ensure Lewis was okay before pulling him closer to her again.

“Everything is fine mom, you don’t have to worry about them again.” He promised, Turningnti his father he nodded. “They won’t harm you, I’ve taken care of it.”

He needed to leave, he needed to sort out this issue right away.

“Please wait for me, I need to settle things.” He instructed calmly, letting go of his mother but she held on to him tightly. “Don’t leave already, you already came back to us, you don’t need to put yourself in any more danger.” Her eyes held fear in them.

“If everything is fine as you say, then please stay.” His father tried to convince him as well. “Your mother has been yearning to be with you so please don’t leave just yet.”

“Let me prepare your favorite meal, you like ramen soup right?” His mother brightens her face with a smile even though she knew there wasn’t a speckle of food in the house.

Lewis took a deep sigh and smiled at them. “There's no need to stress out, I’ll bring some food on my way back so you don’t need to worry too much about me.”

Seeing they couldn’t convince him otherwise they finally accepted it.

Walking out the door turning his gaze to Jillian who was trembling in fear and shock as soon as he saw Lewis.

“Take me to your master right away.” Lewis instructed.

Nodding, Jillian rose up and led him, and a few hours later they got to the headquarters of Dark Prism.

Getting there the security men stopped him. “You can’t-“

Within seconds they were all laying on the floor unconscious, he continued to drag Jillian’s body until they got to a room that had a big door, kicking it open Lewis walked in and there Jillian in front of the man seated on an intimidatingly huge chair.

The man who seemed to be in his mid forties seemed surprised, fiddling his chin. How had someone as scrawny as Lewis dared to come here so rudely?

Lewis was boiling with so much anger staring at Frank the man seated, Frank burst out laughing that someone had foolishly burst in here. “It seems you have gotten tired of life itself, how dare you come in here?”

“You defeated my bed… but can you say the same for me?” Frank arched his brows, eyeing Lewis even more and underestimating him.

Turning to the men in his room, Frank ordered. “Do away with him, crush his bones.”

Seated back he let his men do their job , seeing they were beaten up so badly, he signaled to his right hand man.

Nodding Bruce instead his spear staff with a sharp blade at the tip, swinging it viciously at Lewis but he was able to dodge skillfully.

Seeing a chance to attack, he aimed the blade at his chest but Lewis was able to dodge it just in time for it to miss and tear his shirt.

“Fuck.” Bruce’s gritted his teeth

The torn shirt revealed Lewis’ chest tattoo one glance at it and Bruce froze in shock. “Who the hell are you? Why do you have that tattoo?
