Chapter 10: Hands behind your back
"Not someone you should know about," Xin answered in a cold voice. From the look of that girl, he had never met her in his previous life, not in his magical world nor on the ordinary magic-less earth.
The girl gritted her teeth as she was pissed off by Xin's rude behavior and was about to shout out something at him when Xin shouted in anger, "Damn it. That burglar, he took my purse. Boy, you are dead for sure this time."
Xin put on his backpack and ran in the same direction as those of the bodyguards. The girl was still bewildered about the sudden behavior change of the boy.
Just a second ago, he was acting like a cold CEO character, but the moment he found out his wallet was stolen, he became a hot-blooded man and chased after the thief.
After following the bodyguards for some distance, Xin found himself in an old abandoned steel-producing factory. The bodyguards were searching for the burglar here and there while Xin was hiding behind an empty water storage tank and waiting for the burglar to come out.
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!
Sound of the gun firing. All the bodyguards became alerted and took out their pistols and searched for their enemies around. If it were the Xin of the magic-less earth, he would have fled from that place and let the bodyguards handle it on their own.
But the Xin of the magical earth, though naive in relationships, was a pro-veteran, close-ranged combatant.
Defeating some rats with some toys was not a big deal for him. But before he dived into the battle, he stopped for some more minutes to see the performance of the bodyguards.
All of them were six feet and above. And adding up their body bulging with muscles, Xin wanted to see if they were only for show or they had some use too.
While he was contemplating about it, Bang!!
A bullet was fired from somewhere, and a bodyguard fell on the ground with a screech. He was alive, but the bullet hit him in his thigh. He was no longer able to stand and fell on the ground as a result.
The other guards covered him in the middle and looked here and there to trace the place of firing.
Bang!!
Came another sound. Before they turn and see who got injured this time, the gunfire echoed again, shooting down one more of them.
Only three of them were left then. One was the captain-like figure of the bodyguards, and another two looked like the team's vice-captains.
The three of them regrouped at one place and were whispering something to each other when two more gun firing sounds came out of somewhere.
Now the leader-like figure was the only one standing in the middle of that place. All of his teammates were already injured with bullets. And he was the only one who was still safe among them.
"My time has come finally," muttered the person standing in the middle. Though he was pointing his gun somewhere and was acting like a cautious person, deep inside, he had lost it all.
He had already closed his eyes. All he was expecting now was to hear the firing sound of the gun and close his eyes forever. But this time, something happened out of his expectations, and he heard a sound coming from his side.
Thud!!
All he was expecting now was to hear the firing sound of the gun and close his eyes forever. But this time, something happened out of his expectations, and he heard a sound coming from his side.
A body fell from the sky.
He got a little scared over it and took a step back when another sound came from his back.
Thud!!
This time the sound came from behind a box. He went near that place with extreme caution and took a peek behind it. As expected, a body was laid there.
He slowly went near it and checked for his breathing and heartbeat. That person was alive, just unconscious at that time. He was thoroughly inspecting the person to search for any bullet mark or syringe mark used to knock him down when he heard another gun firing from the middle part of that factory, where he and his teammates were standing earlier.
"Who? Who are you, tell me?! I am warning you, don't come closer or else I will~~."
Clutch! Thud!!
This person, too, fainted like the other two of his comrades. For some minutes, the head of the bodyguard didn't move from his place.
Just a second ago, he saw something that seemed utterly lie to his eyes. Rather than a lie, he was comparing it to the scene broadcasted in action movies.
The burglar shooting down the guards previously, was threatening a boy wearing the same hoodie as him. He was warning him again and again, "Don't come any closer, or else I will fire at you."
He had even pointed out a semi-automatic rifle towards him. He was about to fire a bullet to give him a warning when the boy vanished from the scene and appeared behind the burglar holding the rifle.
After that, only two sounds echoed in the dark empty factory, and everything came to an end with that.
Xin snapped the neck of that burglar and threw him on the ground. After taking his wallet and wearing his backpack, Xin left that place and left the thief fainted on the floor.
The fight had already ended. And the victor was already decided when someone interrupted in between and said, "Hands behind your back. We have completely surrounded this area. All roads, drainage, sewage have been blocked. You can't escape now."
The leader-like figure of those bodyguards balled his hand and exhaled out in frustration. The game was over; the victor had been decided and even exited the ground. After the completion of the match arrived the useless police, with its world-famous dialogue, "Hands behind your back. We have completely surrounded this area."
He took the bag stolen from his mistress and went outside with his hands behind his back.
Seeing it was her bodyguard, the beautiful girl with a black mole asked the police to put down their guns and let the man come to their side.
