Chapter 106 Tail

After Matt left the Purple Turtle and Jade behind him, he immediately went to look for Razor and his group.

Without much effort later, he found them, just casually taking a stroll down the road by the pond like everyone else.

As he began stealthily began making his way through the crowd, but he still made the effort to hide himself.

Then, a vendor off to the side recognized him and called. "Mr. Matt. How are you today?"

Not surprised at all, Matt turned to the vendor with a smile and a nod.

The two of them seemed to have come to a silent agreement as they returned to what they were doing. As Matt continued to tail Razor's group, the vendor began saying something to the people who passed by.

Soon after this, the people parted like a river for Matt but submerged his presense casually, making him disappear completely in the stream of people.

As Matt disappeared from sight, 'Razor' then said to Hela. "Young Miss, please refrain from getting into unnessesary situations."

Hela turned to 'Razor' and gave him a nod, meanwhile, the green-haired man just yawned.

Just then, a group of guards marched towards them while in the center, a bulky man is walking. As they crossed paths, the bulky man turned to face their direction.

"Hey. Stop right there!" He called out, his double chin exercising for the first time in a while.

Razor and his group did not turn to him and just continued on walking. Seeing this, the bulky man snapped his fingers, prompting his group of guards to act.

They went in front of Razor's group and blocked their path, stopping them in place. And before they could ask why, the bulky man approached from behind.

As he was right behind Hela, he extended his hand upwards towards Hela. But before he could enact what he wanted to do, Hela turned around, with so much force that she sent the dangly bits of her clothing straight into the bulky man's cheek, leaving a red mark.

"Ah! Master-"

As a few guards went over to the bulky man, who took a few steps back, Razor then told Hela. "Slow down. That was dangerous."

To which Hela just gave nod while looking like she did nothing wrong.

Then, the bulky man raised his hand, prompting the guards approaching him to stop. He wiped the few drops of blood off of his cheek as he returned his gaze onto Hela, who was now facing him.

He then said to her. "What's your name?"

Hela turned to Razor and the green-haired man for a reaction.

"I'm talking to you, woman."

"Ah. Me?"

"Yes, you."

Hela then turned to Razor, who just gave her a shrug, before she replied. "Hela?"

The bulky man then fell into a pondering state before he asked. "Hela. I don't think I have seen you before."

As he said this, a few of his guards let out a sigh.

"I don't know you." Hela said.

"That would seem so... You are new here, are you not?" The bulky man asked.

Hela turned to Razor once more, who did not react at all and just watched over Hela. Hela looked a bit troubled before she replied. "Yes."

The bulky man placed his hand on his chin as he looked from Hela's feet up to her dress that bore a lizard mark on the side and finally to her beautiful face. 

As he seemingly can't separate his gaze away from Hela's child-like eyes, he said. "Is that so... Judging from the state of your body, you have been walking for a while. Do you have a place in mind?"

Once more, Hela turned to Razor, who like before, did not do anything and just watched over her. Hela then turned to the green-haired man for help. But he was to distracted by the fish in the pond while still being surrounded by guards.

Hela looked troubled once more swaying her head left and right.

Seeing this, the bulky man cracked a friendly smile as he said. "Then, why don't you and these fine gentlemen allow me to guide you through the city?"

Hela gave Razor a passing glance, and like before he did nothing. She scratched her side, which bore the lizard mark, but it didn't really do anything for her.

Seeing this, Hela just kinda froze up in place. This allowed the bulky man to approach her and grab her gently by the hand.

He then said as he pulled Hela closer to him. "What is your answer, pretty lady?"

In response to this... Hela did not respond. She just froze in place, quaking like she was about to cry... or lash out.

As this was happening, a pair of eyes watched from within the crowd of people, who kinda just ignored the entire event that was happening and  just did their own thing.

As Hela continued to be frozen in place, as the green-haired man finally turned his eyes to what was happening, and as a gust of wind came from nowhere, letting Hela's lizard mark clothes flow as it somehow emitted a noise akin to a growl. All of this while Razor just watched Hela and her reaction, but his attention seem to be split somewhere else.

The bulky man, who took notice of her behavior, pulled her in closer as he asked. "I'd take your silence for a yes."

As the bulky man was about to pull on Hela once more, he heard sigh before he recieved a slap to the face, making him let go of Hela and fly a few feet to the side.

The bulky man hastily picked himself up, his hand on his cheek as he formed a face of disbelief as he turned towards the perpetrator.

His hate-filled eyes landed on a certain man called Razor, who also goes by a lot of other names.

As his sunglasses absorbed the sunlight, Razor said, while still maintaing the pose he did when he hit the bulky man. "Oops, I slipped."

Before the bulky man could react, his guards approached Razor with their intent told by their words. "How dare you do that to the Master?!"

As they were within arms reach from Razor, the green-haired man and Hela took a few steps back as a massacre was about to happen.

Then, simultainously, three guards all received a slap from Razor, which sent then staggered backwards as Razor said with a monotone. "Oops, this floor is real slippery. Who would have thought it was a good idea to place it near the pond?"

As Razor continued to slap every guard that dared to breathe in their entire life, the bulky man on the floor, amidst his seething anger, a moment of calmness made it's way as he thought to himself. "Why aren't the people reacting? It's not everyday you have a man slapping a noble and his guards. Strange..."

As the bulky man thought of this, the people kinda just ignored the entire slapping tournament that was happening, like they can't see it at all. 

As a gaze continued to watch from the crowd, the moment of calmness left the bulky man's mind as it was replaced by anger.

"You son of a bitch! How dare..." He yelled as he charged at Razor, who has now knocked down every single one of his guards by only slapping.

But before the bulky man could get anywhere, Razor placed him in a choke hold with his hands wrapped around his neck with his fingers all on his cheeks.

As the bulky man was forced to look up at Razor's sunglasses, a faint golden glow came from within as the bulky man felt his head slightly turn.

He then realized what was happening. He wasn't put in a chokehold, he was placed in a neck-breaking position.

As Chrys slowly turned the bulky man's head to the side with his fingers dragging along the man's face, a small sadistic smile slowly formed on his face as he said slowly like he was enjoying every moment. "Oh, no. My hands are slipping."

As Chrys slowly began turning the bulky man's face, who was trying to set himself free but was clearly outmatched, even his jaw was clamped shut by Chrys' hands.

Then, before Chrys could snap the man's neck, the green-haired man, who also goes by the name of V, picked up a rock and threw it beside Chrys as he said. "Goldie. I think that's enough."

With the little sadistic smile still on his face, Chrys turned to V and Hela before saying. "Yeah. You're right."

And just then, he let go the bulky man go, delivered a swift blow to the man's abdomen, before twisting the man's body in such a way that it flew towards the pond off to the side of the road.

As the bulky man's body made a large splash onto the pond, scaring the fish away, his guards picked themselves off of the ground and leaned against the barrier to the pond as they shouted. "Master!!!"

As they were all lined up against the fence, worried for their Master, Chrys approached from behind as he said. "What are you guys doing? Help him." Before he kicked every single guard into the pond, breaking the fences they leaned on in the process.

As the guards began to recover from the fall, Chrys then said to Hela and V. "This is when we run." Before they all ran away from the scene of the crime like the guilty suspects they are.

All of this happened while everyone else just kinda ignored the entire event like they didn't notice at all.

Then, from within the crowd, Matt appeared as he looked at the direction where 'Razor' and his group ran to. He then thought to himself. "Just how many lies do you hide behind?"

He then heard a slight splashing to his side. He turned to look and found the guards dragging the bulky man's unconsious body out of the water.

Before he disappeared into the crowd once more, he thought as he looked at the bulky man. "Mr. Han. Why do you always cause trouble?"

And like that, Matt disappeared completely into the crowd.

But, a few steps later, a child blocked his path, offering a piece of paper. After Matt grabbed the paper, the child bowed before leaving.

Curious of what was just been given to him, Matt then looked at the piece of paper.

It depicted a very detailed illustration of himself being roasted over a fire while being doused in oil and seasoning.

As Matt let out a little nervous chuckle, he thought to himself. "Shiiiiiiiiiiiit. It would appear... I was too focused on tailing that... I got tailed in return. How cruel, this world is."

As a Matt crumpled the piece of paper and threw it into a trash can, he began to head towards a direction completely opposite of where Hela and the others went to.

As this was happening, Chrys then said to the other two that was running with him. "We lost our tail. Let's go back now, we got what we came for."
