BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12 12: There Is No Escape Jackie!
Farther down in the tunnel, Jackie was getting princess carried by a short man that had the phrase Dragon King tattooed on his forehead.
"Is this necessary? Why are we running away? It was ten against one. Are you telling me you have so little faith in our gang, Rico?" Jackie looked at the man he called Rico with frustration.
"Jackie I,"
"I told you to only call me Jack!" Jackie interrupted.
"Jack I have put as many resources into creating our gang as you have but I know our limits better than you. "
"You might think that man you brought is just a scholar but from how easily he sent Dragon 1 flying he is a strong martial artist."
" We have only created our gang for half a year and haven\'t been able to recruit a single martial artist into our fold. We can\'t beat him and can only stall for time to escape." Rico explained to Jackie.
Jackie sighed in frustration as he didn\'t want to run away like this. What is the point of having a gang if he had to run away at the sight of a scholar?
"Maybe Dad was right and that I should have practiced martial arts." Jackie thought with regret.
"Okay I understand but can you put me down? if we are going to escape then one should run on my own."
Rico contemplated for a second before putting Jackie down.
"Thud Thud Thud Thud!"
Rico and Jackie turned around to the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps and saw a cloud of dust flying in their direction.
"How can he run so fast with all that weight?"
Jackie and Rico felt that they were facing a monster they couldn\'t escape from.
"Jackie! Don\'t even think about escaping!"
Jackie\'s legs began trembling as he could hear the anger in Yoze\'s voice and worried about what he would do to him once he got captured.
"Jackie run!" Rico bolted into his fastest sprint possible as he reminded Jackie to run.
If Jackie was afraid of what Yoze would do to him once he got captured then Rico was shitting his pants as he had a feeling that if Yoze caught up he would kill him.
Regaining his senses, after hearing Rico\'s voice Jackie turned around and started running. However, it was too late for Jackie as Yoze caught up to him.
Reaching out his hand to pick up Jackie like a rag doll, Yoze continued to chase Rico as he couldn\'t let this man go unpunished.
"As for you, prepare to have your bones broken!"
Rico ran faster than he thought he could achieve after hearing Yoze\'s statement but it only stalled his fate for an extra 30 seconds before Yoze rammed his 300 pounds of pure muscle into Rico\'s short body.
"Bang! Crack"
The crunch of broken bones came from every inch of Rico\'s body and an unbelievable amount of pain flashed through his mind before he passed out.
After getting his revenge, Yoze regained his calm and picked up Rico\'s unconscious body along with the frightened Jackie back to the Martial Court Yard.
"Can you call Assistant director George for me? Oh and call someone to take this man to the recovery room please." Adding the last sentence due to not wanting the hassle of carrying Rico with him everywhere, Yoze felt satisfied with his progress with his battle power.
It wasn\'t too long ago that he needed to get lucky enough to launch a sneak attack to defeat multiple people. But now after nine months, he was not only able to defeat ten people at the same time but even have enough stamina to capture two escapees.
The young lady who was working as the Court Yard\'s receptionist couldn\'t help but become pale seeing Rico\'s bloody body and exposed bones.
"Y-yes, I\'ll inform the Assistant director that you need him. And I\'ll call for medical assistance."
Yoze only had to wait for a few minutes before Assistant director George came alongside two medical staff members.
"What happened?" Assistant director George frowned when he saw Rico and Jackie\'s pale faces.
"As per your orders sir, I followed Jackie around to give him some insights into sights he wanted to see around the city. However, Jackie thought he was clever and wanted to go to Shade Alley to use a small gang to escape."
Yoze continued to explain the story of him having to fight against multiple gang members and chase Jackie down a secret tunnel without missing any details in the story. After finishing, Yoze looked in the direction of Rico\'s body and said.
"I didn\'t know what to do with him so I brought him along in case you or the director wanted to place your own punishments."
"That\'s quite alright." Assistant director George quickly shook his head in rejection of the idea of punishing Rico.
It wasn\'t because Assistant director George had suddenly gained a heart but simply because he feared that Rico wouldn\'t be able to survive any kind of punishment they did on him after what Yoze did.
"That man is probably crippled for life." Assistant director George thought that he needed to think twice about angering Yoze in the future.
"Since this trip was a bust, I will take Jackie off your hands. As for the troubles... I know that you are interested in martial arts. I\'ll ask the director if I can give you some contribution points to get a martial arts technique from the second floor."
"Thank you Assistant director! Maybe I can watch Jackie\'s next trip again hahaha." Yoze laughed as he felt that this troublesome youth was his lucky star.
"Just as I reached the peak of Twin Fists, I can get a higher quality martial arts technique. How lucky!" Yoze thought to himself.
"No no no, absolutely not! I will not have this crazy scholar as my bodyguard!" Jackie froze and began screaming that he wouldn\'t accept being around Yoze much less have him watch over him again.
"In just a single afternoon, this monster destroyed the gang I have been working on for the last half a year. He even personally crippled my right-hand man. If anything I need to tell father to teach me martial arts to teach this monster a lesson."
Assistant director George began laughing with exhilaration and his eyes teared up. He couldn\'t believe that the decades of effort that the director and he had put in to try and fail to convince Jackie to practice martial arts was achieved by a scholar in an afternoon.
