Enzo turned towards White Tiger and asked, "What's your name, and why are you tied here?"
White Tiger who had lost hope of going out of this place breathing, suddenly found new hope.
"Leo...my name is Leo, senior. People call me White Tiger because I created the gang. I saw goons of Green Dragon stealing money from teenagers and this infuriated me. I went and started beating them. It was then they captured me and brought me here," White Tiger said zestily.
"Hmm, but you are at Golden Level Late Stage. How did these bunch of fools capture you?" Enzo probed.
Leo's face turned red. He did not want to think about that again. It was the most shameful thing that had happened in his life.
"I...I..." Leo was too ashamed to say it.
"What? Speak clearly," Enzo pressurized.
"I was shot in the rear by a tranquilizer..." Leo said in a low voice.
"Really? Hahaha, indeed there's a first for everything. A martial arts warrior was shot by a tranquilizer and got kidnapped. This is a story worthy of telling over drinks," Enzo laughed.
Leo put his head down. His face was red and he was ashamed of himself for being so careless.
"You beat those fools just because they were stealing from children?" Enzo asked. Why would a gang leader involve himself in this matter, he could not understand. It's not uncommon for goons to steal, be it from the elderly or children.
Leo nodded.
"My gang follows principles. We do not touch innocents of any age group, especially children. That's why whenever I see someone committing a crime against innocents, I beat them up," Leo said proudly. He was proud of his brothers who shared the same ideology as him. For the bad, they were badder. For the good, they were protectors. This was the White Tiger Gang's motto.
Enzo now had a favorable impression of Leo. A man who follows principle even in a profession where morals and ethics are thrown in the dump is a man worth forming a connection with.
Enzo then tore the ropes which tied Leo and freed him.
Leo stretched his arms and legs upon being released and bowed towards Enzo.
Green Dragon's face went pale. Moments before he was imagining usurping all of White Tiger's assets and then killing him but now he was standing in front of him stretching his legs and arms while he was laying on the ground clutching his broken wrist and knee.
Leo then brought a chair for Enzo to sit.
"Senior, you could see my power level?" Leo asked.
Enzo nodded.
Leo gasped. Only a warrior of higher-level could see the levels of lower level warriors. He was Golden Level Late Stage so that means the man in front of him must be Mystic Level.
'Mystic Level!!!,' Just the thought sent shivers down his spine. He had never seen a Mystic Level Warrior before up close. He only knew about a few who were at that level like the Bane family's housemaster. But they were all over 50. He himself was in his late 30s. But this man appeared so young and was already so powerful.
'I must get on his good books. He could easily kill me if he wanted too but it looks like he is not a ruthless lunatic warrior who kills people for fun. He must be a man of principles too,' Leo decided.
Enzo sat on the chair and looked at Green Dragon. He used his Ki Energy again and lifted him in the air.
"What???!!! Ahhhhh!!!," Green Dragon screamed upon being lifted in the air. Even Leo was taken aback and he subconsciously distanced himself from Enzo.
'What power is this? Magic? Did this guy learn the ways of an immortal? Holy sh*t...," Leo screamed inwardly.
"You... what are you doing? Put me down... or else my men will kill you and your family," Green Dragon roared
As they say, old and bad habits die hard. Being the overlord of this area for far too long, Green Dragon had developed the habit of him threatening others and not the other way around. This was the reason that, even in such a predicament, instead of begging Enzo to spare him, he decided, out of habit that it was better to threaten him with his life.
Enzo grinned. He went towards Green Dragon and punched him in the gut. The punch was filled with Ki Energy and it shook all of Green Dragon's organs. He started vomiting.
"Now let's get to the point," Enzo said as he went back to the chair and sat down.
"Do you remember a few days back you shot and killed a man called Enzo near the waterfall at Blackrock Forest?" Enzo asked in a grim voice.
"Blackrock Forest? Enzo?" Suddenly Green Dragon had a dreadful feeling. Can this man be here to get revenge for Enzo?
Green Dragon remained silent.
Enzo frowned. He sent out a Ki Energy punch while sitting. The punch landed on Green Dragon's gut again. Blood started coming out of his mouth.
Watching Enzo punch Green Dragon while sitting meters away from him made Leo dumbfounded. He was prideful of his own power. But what he witnessed today was not something a mere mortal could do. This was the stuff from the movies.
Green Dragon could no longer hold it. He started crying.
"Yes, I killed him. But I did not want to. I was ordered by the young master of the Wu family to kill him. I had nothing to do with this. I was just following orders. Please forgive me.. sob..sob," Green Dragon sobbed.
"Wu family? Why would someone from the Wu family want to kill a commoner like him?" Enzo asked. He had no memory of ever coming in contact with a member of the Wu family.
"Sob..sob... during the Fifth National High School's farewell party for senior year students, young master Wu went to attend it. It was then, that guy named Enzo spilled drinks on young master Wu's clothes in front of the girl he liked. Young master Wu said that he was embarrassed in front of the girl he liked so Enzo had to die. He ordered me to do so. So I took some men and we shot him," Green Dragon shed some tears.
"What?" both Enzo and Leo exclaimed in unison. Enzo even stood up from his chair.
"Just this? Just this was the reason why you killed him?" Enzo was shocked. This was the stupidest thing he had ever heard. This reason was simply nonsense. He really couldn't believe it someone could be this heartless, killing over such petty reason.
Even Leo was stunned after listening to the reason. Killing just because the guy spilled drinks. Not even gangsters will kill over such a small reason.
Enzo was furious. Not only the previous Enzo had a hard life but he was killed for nothing. He decided he would make sure this young master Wu watches as his whole world is crumbled in front of him and he is reduced to nothing but a speck of dust.
In his anger, he broke the remaining limbs of Green Dragon and threw him on the floor.
He then looked at Leo, "He is all yours. Make sure he suffers."
