The faces of everyone inside the private room turned pale, their hands trembling as they glanced between Larry and the arrogant Barry Smith. The atmosphere was suffocating, thick with fear and humiliation.

Just as despair began to weigh down the room, a cold voice rang out, slicing through the tension like a blade.

“Hehe… what an ignorant little fly.”

Every head turned toward the source. It was Jaden. Calm, composed, his expression unreadable, as though the chaos unfolding around him was beneat

    Gunner’s face tightened.He looked around at the crowd.These were the same people who had lowered their heads whenever he passed. The same people who had handed him money because they were afraid of what would happen if they refused. Now they were all standing there watching him kneel in defeat.But Drax’s expression made it clear that there was no room for negotiation.Gunner lowered his head.“I apologize,” he muttered.Drax raised an eyebrow. “What was that?”Gunner’s jaw tightened.“I said I apologize!”“Louder.”Gunner took a deep breath and screamed at the top of his lungs, “I’M SORRY!”His voice echoed between the buildings.“I’M SORRY FOR TERRORIZING YOU! I’M SORRY FOR TAKING YOUR MONEY! I’M SORRY FOR THREATENING YOUR FAMILIES! I’M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING THE RUSTLINERS HAVE DONE TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD!”He turned toward Lydia and Desmond.“I’m sorry for attacking your family! I’m sorry for hurting you! I’m sorry for threatening your children! Please forgive me!”His voice cracked

  • Drax’s Redemption 27

    The entire neighborhood stood frozen, staring at the scene before them as though they were afraid that moving would somehow break whatever strange dream they had just witnessed. The Rustliners, the very gang that had terrorized these streets for years, were scattered across the ground. Their weapons lay abandoned in the dirt, their bodies sprawled across the street, and their leader, Gunner, was kneeling in front of the stranger who had appeared out of nowhere. It was almost impossible to comprehend. Many of the people watching had spent years believing that the Rustliners were untouchable, that Gunner and his men were simply another unavoidable part of life in Null City. Yet in less than a few minutes, one unknown man had dismantled the entire gang without even appearing to take the fight seriously.Whispers began spreading through the crowd.“Is this actually happening?”“He defeated all of them…”“Gunner is on his knees.”“I’ve never seen anyone do that to the Rustliners.”Some peo

    But nobody answered.The street had become a battlefield.Rustliners were scattered everywhere. Some were unconscious. Others groaned while clutching broken arms or ribs. Weapons lay abandoned across the dirt. A few men tried to crawl away, only for Drax to grab them by their ankles and drag them back whenever they attempted to escape.“Where are you going?” Drax asked one of them.The man shook his head desperately.“I—I need to use the bathroom!”Drax stared at him.“Now?”The thug nodded.Drax considered it for a moment before shrugging and tossing him aside. “Fine. Go.”The man immediately scrambled away.Drax turned toward the remaining Rustliners.“Anybody else?”Nobody moved.Then one particularly brave—or perhaps particularly stupid—Rustliner roared and charged at him with a metal rod.Drax smiled.Finally, someone was still willing to try.The man swung.Drax blocked the strike with his forearm.The thug’s eyes widened.Drax grabbed the rod, snapped it in half with his bare h

  • Drax’s Redemption 25

    Gunner’s command had barely left his mouth before the rest of the Rustliners surged forward. More than twenty men charged Drax at once, their weapons raised as they shouted over one another. Metal pipes swung through the air, knives flashed beneath the fading daylight, and several men rushed in from behind, hoping to catch him off guard. They had numbers, weapons, and the advantage of surrounding their target, but none of those things mattered against the man they had chosen to attack. Drax simply stood there in the middle of them, looking almost disappointed. After everything that had happened, he had expected the Rustliners to at least provide him with a little entertainment. Instead, looking at the men charging toward him, he couldn’t help thinking that this was going to be easier than dealing with the bicycle.The first thug reached him and swung a metal pipe directly toward his head. Drax casually tilted his head to the side, allowing the pipe to whistle past his ear. Before the

    Desmond’s lips twitched.He tried desperately to hold it in, but a laugh escaped him anyway. He quickly covered his mouth with both hands, his shoulders shaking as he looked away from Gunner. The sight was too ridiculous. Gunner had been standing there delivering what was obviously supposed to be an intimidating speech, and Drax had essentially told him that the speech was putting him to sleep.The reaction spread through the street.A few onlookers hiding behind the broken walls quietly laughed. One man covered his mouth as he shook his head, while another turned away because he was afraid Gunner might see him smiling. Even some of the Rustliners struggled to keep straight faces. One man lowered his head, biting his lip as he tried to suppress a laugh. Another coughed suspiciously into his fist, but the faint grin on his face betrayed him.Gunner noticed.His face darkened instantly.A vein bulged against his temple.Another appeared along his forehead as his remaining eye twitched w

  • Drax’s Redemption 23

    Gunner threw his head back and laughed heartily, the sound echoing across the ruined street as though the situation unfolding before him was nothing more than an entertaining joke. He slowly rose from the hood of the truck, his boots hitting the ground with a heavy thud as he looked Drax up and down. His remaining eye narrowed, studying the stranger who had just walked straight into the middle of his territory without the slightest hint of fear. Around him, the Rustliners tightened their grip on their weapons, surrounding Drax from every direction. There were more than thirty of them, some carrying knives, others holding metal pipes, bats, chains, and whatever else they could find. To anyone watching, there was only one possible outcome. The stranger was outnumbered beyond reason.“So, you’re the so-called wanderer who harmed my men,” Gunner finally said, his laughter fading into a cold grin. There was amusement in his voice, but beneath it was unmistakable anger. His men had returned
