Chapter six

Inside the science laboratory.....

"Fire!!", shouted the boss scientist. Immediately, his orderlies began to shoot at the stranger.But the stranger looked unfazed. Infact, he looked calm and relaxed. He sat in a chair that was close to him and crossed his legs. The scientists wondered why he was so relaxed in such a precarious situation. Nonetheless, they didn't mind. If the enemy was stupid, it would be advantageous to them.

The stranger only waved his hands just as the bullets neared him. Immediately, all the bullets disappeared. Everyone in the room was left speechless, completely stunned and at a loss for words.

"Now that's not a nice way to invite your guest", said the stranger, ignoring their reactions.

"Guest??!! Screw you!! Nobody invited you !!", shouted one orderly, who was completely annoyed.

"Aren't you going to offer me water or do I have to ask for that one too?", asked the stranger, "What awful receptors you are".

All those present were stunned at the stranger's shamelessness. He barged into their laboratory without permission and behaves like there's nothing wrong. What's more, he was trying to push the blame to them. Indeed, it was shamelessness in the highest order. Pure, unadulterated shamelessness..

After not receiving water, he stood up and served himself a glass of wine - the people's wine. They were stunned at how the stranger was making himself comfortable in their base.

"What a jerk!", exclaimed an orderly.

"Just because I helped myself to a glass of your wine, so you resort to uncouth speech", said the stranger, in a disappointed tone, " Where are your manners?".

The orderly in question became very pissed. How dare the stranger say such a thing to him? How dare the stranger question his manners? In any case, the stranger was the one intruding on their privacy.

Another barrage of bullets were shot at the stranger, with the intent to kill him. Unfortunately, the scientists had no such luck. Because to their horror, when the mist cleared, he was still sitting with his legs crossed. The clothes he wore weren't even stained and he looked completely fine, much to the dismay of the scientists. Even the chair he sat on was intact.

The boss among the scientists was trying his best to suppress the anger which was threatening to overflow. An anger he never knew welled up inside of him and he struggled with all his might to maintain his calm.He was filled with unspeakable rage. He looked at the stranger with eyes full of malice and if looks could kill, the stranger would have been dead a hundred times over.

Unfortunately, looks could not kill.....

"What do you want?", asked the boss scientist in the calmest voice he could muster.

"What do I want?", asked the stranger," I want that experiment of yours".

The stranger's voice completely annoyed the boss scientist. The work that he had dedicated his life to was being demanded for by a jerk he didn't know from Adam. A lot of emotions began to burst out of him; rage, anger, fury, annoyance, irritation, indignance, wrath, hatred, killing intent.....okay, so it was pretty much the same thing. And how could he not be angry?

He had poured blood, body and soul into this project, engaged tirelessly in experiments, and sacrificed so much, all for this project and now, it was about to be stolen. The anger caused him to lose his brain and rationality. With eyes radiating nothing but bloodthirstiness, he lunged at the stranger.

He was about to land a blow on the stranger when something suddenly became wrong with the environment.

The stranger snapped his fingers and immediately, the boss scientist and everyone else in the room fell on their knees. The gravity was pushing them down with an intense weight that they could hardly bear. All the scientists could do was to feel helpless.

"You asked what I want, I told you and now you want to attack me", said the stranger, " Are you all right?", he asked incredulously.

"Shit!", cursed an orderly, "This guy is so f*cked up"

"Did you say something?",asked the stranger.

"No, nothing at all", responded the orderly.

He was wise enough to know that getting on the stranger's bad side was suicidal. Therefore, he didn't mind lying through his teeth.

"But I heard you say something", said the stranger.

"No I didn't", responded the orderly.

But the stranger wouldn't buy it. He clenched his fist and walked towards the orderly. On instinct, the orderly covered his chest with his hands, trying to defend himself. He was afraid, and on reflex his hands went to his chest and his eyes closed. He was expecting a punch to his chest, but nothing happened. Somehow relieved, he opened his eyes.

Just then, he received a slap. The slap was as heavy as a car, and he took it all on his left cheek. The orderly screamed with all his might from the pain. This was a pain he has never known in his entire life. The moment he opened his mouth to scream, teeth flew out of his mouth. His face was no better. The pain and shame was so much that he was crying.

The tears mixed with the blood on his face, destroying him in one of the worst ways possible.

He collapsed on the floor, and it was obvious that his spirit was crushed.

The stranger walked towards the invention container and tried opening it. To his surprise, it refused to open. He tried again with the same result. Apparently, the container required the handprint of the boss scientist to open up. The stranger then knew what to do.

He held the boss scientist by the head and dragged him towards the container.

"You know what to do", said the stranger.

The boss scientist nodded. At this point, he knew better than going against the stranger. The pain in his heart knew no bounds. Not even tears could express the extent of the pain he was feeling.His life's work was being lost due to no mistake of his. He did nothing wrong, his luck was just rotten.

He cursed fate and luck in his heart as he nodded. But to his surprise, he received a sharp knock on his head. The knock was too painful to be described by mere words.

"Wh- wh- why??!", he asked, since he believed he hadn't done anything to warrant the knock.

"Naah, I just felt like it", said the stranger.

The boss scientist wanted to cry blood. He didn't know how to feel.

'If you're going to steal my life's work, at least do it in peace. Don't torture me', was what the boss scientist was ruefully thinking. His shame was boundless.

"F*ck you, you damn motherf*cker!!", shouted one of the orderlies.

At that time, the gravity was relaxed a little.

"Me?", asked the stranger, "Don't lump me in your category".

Then just to emphasize his point, he increased the gravitational force working on them. Now, much less move, they couldn't even talk, and they used their strength just to stay conscious.

But all that time was enough for the boss scientist. Without wasting time, he took a taser from his backpocket and shot at the stranger. PFTTTT! The boss scientist was hopeful. This was the only chance he had to protect his life's work.

Unfortunately, fate was really f*cking with him. The stranger was staring at him with a creepy smile.

"Now you understand why I knocked you", he said calmly, " but looks like you didn't get the point".

After that, the boss scientist received a sharp blow to his face. He fell on the floor. If that knock was painful, this blow was ultra- painful. Despite the boss's pride and dignity, he howled in agony.

Finally, the boss scientist gave up. He just wanted the episode to end as soon as possible. Therefore, knowing what the stranger wanted, the boss scientist unlocked the container.

"So you could behave like this from the start, but you chose not to", said the stranger in an annoyed tone.

He punched the boss scientist again. He fell on the floor, crumpled like toilet paper. Now he was getting beaten for cooperating.

The boss scientist was stunned.Blood was trickling down his face, and his expression was an unsightly one. He felt hopeless.

Meanwhile, the stranger stared at the pills in awe.

"This is incredible", said the stranger.

He then began to collect all the pills into his inventory.

"Please don't do this", the boss scientist pleaded," Please don't. I beg you".

"Aww, you're making me look like a bad person", said the stranger.

Again, the scientists were stunned at his shamelessness. He was the villain, yet he was demonizing them with some messed up logic.

"F*ck you, b*tch-*ss nigger", shouted one of the orderlies, who had decided he had had enough of the nonsense.

"Not only do you have a senile tongue, you have a vile face", replied the stranger.

This pissed off the orderly to a non understandable degree. This was because, during his childhood, he got himself injured and got a wide cut on his face which made him ugly. Because of the scar, he had always been laughed at, ridiculed, insulted and molested. Once he discovered his powers, he ensured that he beat anyone who ridiculed him about his face. He tortured them and ensured no one dreamt of talking about his face.

Now, the stranger was not only ridiculing him, but he also used the adjective 'vile'. It was beyond what he could accept.
