Evil Luke

Entering the Red District area once again, Luke right away got targeted, but instead of a thug, it was a relatively good looking woman wearing a black jacket approaching him.

"Little boy, this place doesn't suit you. Go home now before you'd get sucked dry by greedy men or hungry women." Said the woman in a tone not so harsh yet not soft either.

"Umm...But I think this place suits me the most." Luke innocently answered.

"You?" The woman eyed Luke from head to toe before shake her head, "Teenager these days really conceal themselves deeply." Mumbled the woman before walking away.

Hearing those words, Luke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't reject her good intention earlier, but he also couldn't miss this opportunity to level up. So he could only make a horrible excuse like that.

Luke didn't dwell any longer at the same place and ventured the district further. In the process of searching his prey, he got many suggestions as same as the black jacket woman from women that reside here. At first, he was amused by its reaction. But after experiencing it repeatedly, he gradually became annoyed.

'What's wrong with a nerd guy trying to seek pleasure from a hooker? Did it have to be a scumbag who uses a prostitute?' Luke mused angrily.

Luke decides to change his tactic because walking openly with his current appearance wouldn't attract trouble but concern from the women that work here.

"What a burdensome," Luke mumbled while covering his eyes with his palm.

Luke shifted his position from the main road to the corner road where only a few dim lamps present there. On this road, Luke didn't have to worry about being noticed by the women here. After wandering for around five minutes, Luke spotted his second target. It's a man with a robust build and seems in the middle of smoking. Luke strode toward the man and purposely bumped against his back.

The man's cigarettes immediately dropped because of the impact. Luke quickly apologized to the man while bowing his head, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I hardly see you in this darkness."

The man picked his cigarettes and turned around. His face was plain-looking with noticeable eye bags below his eyes. On the right side of his face, present a striking white patch which Luke assumed to exist because of burn injuries. Luke immediately concluded the man before him was a thug who had countless battle experiences from his scar.

"Follow me." Luke immediately delighted upon hearing such a response. This means he would beat him in a dark alley where no one present, right? His hand was sweating in excitement, and Luke could barely contain his excitement, pretending to be scared. Luke said with a trembling voice, "Y-Yes."

The man led Luke into a dark alley, and after confirming there are no people near the place, the man turned his body, facing Luke directly. Luke was expecting the man would raise his hand or punching him directly the moment he turned. But it turned out really different from his expectation. The second the man turned around, instead of doing anything criminal would do, the man gave him a sheepish smile.

Smile?

"Brother, you shouldn't travel to a dangerous place like here. Come on, let me escort you to the safe place." Said the plain-looking man with a gentle tone.

This outcome exceeds his expectation. No! It's more like Luke never thought such a ferocious man would respond like that. After recovering from his stupefied state, Luke asked blankly, "What happened to your face?"

"Oh? Here?" The man pointed at the burned area before scratched his head foolishly, "I was careless at that time. It happened when I was in high school. I was holding a kettle full of hot water, then an accident happens, and somehow the hot water landed on the side of my face."

"It wasn't from a fight?" Luke unconsciously blurted out his thought.

"What do you mean by that, brother. Anyway, let's go out of here. You are not safe here." The man quickly grabbed Luke's arm and attempted to drag him. Luke wasn't able to react to that action since his mind already drifted somewhere upon hearing the man answer.

Just as the duo about to leave the alley, a group consisting of three people suddenly appeared in front of the path.

"Isn't it Tiang?" One of the people in the group mumbled with uncertainty.

The man who was still holding Luke's arm stunned before blocked Luke's figure with his robust build.

"It's me. What do you want?" Tiang spoke with a harsh tone.

"Nothing, I just curious about what you've been doing in this dark alley."

"It's none of your business. Get lost!" Tiang fiercely retorted.

"Awww...Brother Tiang is so scary; we wouldn't disturb you anymore then." The trio was aware that Tiang's robust build is not only on the surface. So they didn't wish to offend such a person if there isn't any grudge on their side.

Tiang look relieved after hearing the trio didn't push the matter forward. He was not afraid to fight the three of them, but the man behind him would be in danger. He couldn't possibly divert his attention while fighting just to protect the guy behind him. This outcome was the best for this kind of situation.

Just as Tiang wanted to let out a sigh of relief, one of the members of the group squinted his eyes and widened them in a second before exclaimed, "That's the guy who knocked me out, brother Ugo!"

The man called Ugo stopped on his track and swiftly turned around facing Tiang once again. With a smile, "Big brother Tiang, can you move your body a bit?"

Tiang didn't immediately answer and pondered for a while before gritting his teeth, "I can't; it looks like my legs got stuck here."

The trio exchanged glances while thinking simultaneously.

'What an awful excuse.'

The hoodlum who got beaten by Luke earlier stepped forward and pointed his finger in Tiang's direction, "You only succeed knocked me out because I was careless at that time. Now, come out. Let us had a fair fight."

Luke, who was previously still shocked by Tiang's words, gradually regains consciousness. Luke dazedly shifted his body to the side and revealed his figure.

"You!" Tiang was shocked upon realizing the man behind him didn't think twice before showed up.

"Is it not enough for me to beat you up once? Should I teach you a lesson for the second time?" Luke displays his fist purposely.

The man flinched slightly witnessing Luke raised his fist, a memory from before began to surface on his mind. He involuntarily took two steps back. Ugo immediately patted his shoulder roughly, "Why are you so scared. He just a little kid."

The man quickly composed himself and straighten his back, "Yes. He just a little kid." He kept convinced himself with that word.

The man then stepped forward while shouting, "Let's fight!"

Luke, of course delighted upon hearing that. The purpose of him coming to this place was to leveling up his level. Now the opportunity has arrived by itself, why should he reject it. With an evil grin, Luke didn't hesitate to move in his opponent's direction quickly.

Seeing Luke approach him hastily, the man waited for the right moment to launch his fist.

Now!

The man launched his fist to Luke's face when their distance roughly two meters. Seeing a fist coming to his face, Luke, with a swift movement lowered his body stance and rammed his fist against the man's chin.

An uppercut move!

The man automatically stepped back after realizing what's his opponent aiming for. But he wasn't aware that Luke's leg had already been raised in advance and before he knew, a leg was swung up his body direction.

'Fuck!'

His body was directly sent flying by the strength of Luke's leg. Luke didn't pity the man and quickly leaped to the man's position. Ugo and his friend stunned for a moment before shouted, "STOP!"

Seeing Luke still didn't stop his move, the two men quickly jumped to their friend's help.

Luke was aware the man's friends wouldn't let him win the battle fairly. So from the start of the battle, his eyes kept cautiously checking on his friends. And now seeing those two already make their move, Luke didn't surprise and already prepared his next move.

The two men appeared before Luke and blocked his path. Ugo once again shouted, "STOP!!"

Even so, Luke merely stopped his movement for a second before abruptly brandished both of his fists respectively toward the two men's faces.

Seeing Luke's daring move, the two men didn't underestimate it and quickly covered their faces with palms.

Both Luke's fist landed on their palm and the two men need to take a step back to stabilize their body. After they did stabilize their body, they wanted to counter-attack by grasping Luke's palm. Unfortunately, they were a step too late since Luke already released his fist and flipped his hand to quickly caught the two men's wrist.

With an evil grin plastered over his face, Luke rapidly pulled their body over his own and placed both his hand which previously grasping their wrist into each of their head. Because this action was happening in a second, the two men couldn't exert any strength. Then Luke ruthlessly slammed both their head together, causing the two men to bounce back and seemed to go into a dizzy state.

In the next second, Luke simply raised his fist against the two men's chin and made an uppercut move with his full strength.

Luke disregarded the two men and walked to the first men he beaten. Seeing Luke coming, the man's faces gradually turned paler. Before Luke able to knock the man out, the man already fainted by himself because frightened by Luke's imposing aura.

Luke let out a sigh of relief upon seeing the man collapsed. He really thankful for the man's considerate action. It saved him quite a time.
