The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

101 Black Is Late

While working in the underground fighting match, Ron was always faced with the strongest opponent. Until the last moment when he had to fight a truly monster-like opponent, then winning, that was the time when Kei made up his mind to take Ron as his salve dog.

Ron Smith used to have a nickname as Stray Dog. He could beat dozens of thugs with his bare hands. His bones, which had always been hammered by the blows of wooden blocks, became as strong as iron bars. His body used to being forced to fight on an empty stomach, made his immune system mutate to become stronger. A punch of his hand was equivalent to the punch of three men. His kick was equivalent to five wooden blocks hit. His speed had been trained as he often pickpocketed and escaped from the police chase.

After Calvin dodged, another kick came towards his head again in a lighting speed. He managed to dodge that as well, but a fist quickly came back, lunging straight for his chest. Feeling it was no longer possible to get away, Calvin immediately covered all of his ribs by crossing his arms in front of his chest.

Ron’s double hit was sending Calvin bouncing backwards with feet dragged on the floor. Even though he was still in a defensive stance, the weight of his body and stance couldn’t withstand the jabs Ron was giving.

Seeing Calvin who was instantly dragged back a few meters with just a jab made Troy’s attention focus on them. Troy had indeed heard of the rumours of how powerful a Ron Smith was. But he had never come into contact with the man, so he had never seen this power for himself. Now that he had seen the slightest bit of Ron and Calvin’s fight, he could judge that they shouldn’t underestimate a Ron Smith.

BUGHH!!!

Just as Troy was about to move to help Calvin, suddenly a large, two-meter-tall man came in by smashing the back door of the building and breaking it.

“Gozu?!” Everyone was stunned.

“Damn it! What’s this surprise again?” Martin said to Nicko who was beside him breathlessly.

.....

“Looks like the madman escaped from prison,” Nicko said while looking at the prisoner’s pants that were still attached to Gozu’s big body. Even though it was snowing very hard outside, he was only wearing a tank top.

“We have to quickly end this before the police arrive,” assumed Ian, who just threw his fist at the jaw of an enemy and made him faint instantly.

But it looked like things won’t be as easy as they initially thought. With a total of all Hell Gate members to be knocked down, the fact how strong Ron Smith was, and the appearance of Gozu escaping from prison, would make them fight the whole night.

“I’M COMING, BIG BRO RON!!! I AM THE HELL GATE PILLAR GUARD, GOZU!!” The man exclaimed as loud as he could by tightening all the muscles while clenching both hands tightly until all its veins popped out.

Ron didn’t expect Gozu to suddenly come to his aid. But he knew that he must have escaped from prison just to come to the headquarters. He was so loyal to the Hell Gate’s brotherhood. With a sigh, Ron raised his thumb in the air with a faint smile. If it was true that Hell Gate must end, then, make it a battle they would do together as brothers.

Calvin and Troy stared at each other from a distance as the chaos resumed. Jita Kyoei’s men were not up to thirty people in total, but they had to fight so many Hell Gate’s men.

“Leave this part to me,” Said Calvin who relied more on his lips movements, because Troy definitely wouldn’t be able to hear his voice amid the chaotic noise.

With the arrival of Gozu, Troy, who was going to fight Ron with Calvin, was finally forced to turn his wheel to fight the man with the big stature.

Troy was a Judo fighter who also relied on the strength of his body weight to defeat his opponent. Unlike Calvin, Troy couldn’t move that fast and agile. Actually, Troy and Gozu’s fighting styles were almost the same. However, their body size was slightly different.

“Tsk! I should have practised more yesterday,” Troy muttered with a stance as he faced Gozu.

As Troy had expected, Gozu’s strength was truly great. The hulking man was an excellent wrestling fighter with a physique that gave him many advantages in ground combat. Gozu’s grip on Troy’s shoulders could even make him wince in pain.

‘So this is the man that Black defeated? If Black can beat him, so can I!’ Troy said in his heart.

Even though in Troy’s life, Judo seemed to be his lover, that didn’t mean he couldn’t do other techniques besides Judo. In the world of thugs, everyone must have Street Fight abilities.

Troy realized Gozu was about to push him back. Quickly, he swung his fist from the side many times which hit Gozu’s jaw.

‘He is indeed the Troy of Jita Kyoei.’ Gozu thought to himself. Never before had he felt a blow that was nearly as strong as the punch of the man who had previously defeated all the higher-ups of the Hell Gate.

Troy smiled faintly. It would be a little difficult against Gozu, but that didn’t mean that he couldn’t. Maybe it would just take longer than the usual fight.

On the other hand, Calvin wiped the side of his lip that was bleeding after Ron managed to hit him in the face with his punch. But it wasn’t just Calvin who was hurt. Ron was the same. At first glance, their strength seemed to be on par.

During his life, Calvin had never been able to touch a single number one leader of a big gangster group. Usually, he only could fight as far with the right-hand men of the group leader, because he always moved on his own. But now that he had moved together, he had hands to help him fight hundreds of gangsters that made him could feel what it’s like to fight the main leader of a gangster group.

No wonder why a Ron Smith could protect such a large group. This was the first time Calvin had faced such a strong person. Although he did not master a specific technique of martial art, Ron provided a mix of all the techniques he had recorded in his brain when fighting with all his opponents so far.

“I don’t think I’ll ever find anyone who can make my battles fun,” Ron chuckled after spitting blood from his mouth onto the cement floor.

“So am I,” Calvin smiled kindly.

Then, they run to each other and jump as throwing kicks. But, just like swords that were against each other, it sent both sides blowing each other backwards.

But Calvin and Ron were very surprised when suddenly a metal coffee table flew straight at Ron and managed to hit him in the head. Ron, who didn’t have time to dodge because he was in a semi-recumbent position, could only protect his head with his arms.

It turned out that the perpetrator of the sudden attack was a midget man with a black helmet who had a nickname, Black. He was standing by a window that was big enough for his tiny body to pass through. He was standing on a pile of wooden boxes and chairs stacked up against the wall.

“You...” Ron muttered as he stared at the figure standing like a hero in the moonlight shining through the window. It was the man who had ravaged his main headquarters.

“YOUU!!!” Gozu’s scream made Emma gasp in surprise.

Emma looked at Gozu with a gaping face, “Hey! Shouldn’t you be in the prison?” she asked with a chuckle.

Within the room, many people knew Black’s figure. Yes, that’s because most of the men there, were the ones Black had knocked out. Not only the subordinates, but the figure of Gozu who was said to be the pillar that protects the Hell Gate had also felt it.

Emma huffed in annoyance. Because she arrived late, Jita Kyoei and Calvin were already ahead of her. Actually, Emma was thinking of capturing Kei alone in the base. She deliberately chose the day when Jita Kyoei would attack the base. Emma thought, she would finish Kei first, then, let the Jita Kyoei members take care of the rest of the Hell Gate members.

However, everything fell apart because of what happened three hours ago.

—

While Emma was cooking at home, she got a call from someone. It was the owner of the helmet shop that Emma was visiting. Previously, Emma had come back to the shop inside the mall for a quite long time. She said she would buy about fifty more helmets to spare.

Emma found that every fight usually made her black helmet to be damaged and Emma didn’t like to use things that were already broken. Therefore, she ordered the helmet to be stored at her home. That was also the reason why she asked Jonas to increase her credit card limit.

However, while chatting with the shop owner about when the helmet will be delivered, Emma suddenly smelled smoke. And it turned out that the food she was cooking had been burnt. A sizable fire raged above the pan which made thick smoke gather in the kitchen. Emma forgot to turn off the stove. Smartly, she forgot that she was cooking!

Before Emma had time to think about how to put out the fire, the fire detector immediately rang loudly. Emma had never faced such an incident in her life. Therefore, it took her a while to realize that she had to use the fire extinguisher spray that Jonas had provided around the kitchen. But stupidly, Emma still didn’t understand how to use it. Even though Jonas had previously explained to her, at that time, she didn’t listen to him and just nodded away. Now, she regretted her rudeness over Jonas.
