The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

67 Hidden Feelings

As soon as he knew his face was about to hit the black helmet attached to his opponent’s head, the man reflexively removed his hands to prevent that from happening. Now, his palms were pressed against the tiles to prevent his head from hitting the helmet. But he didn’t know that this was exactly what the black helmet man wanted to see.

The position of the man’s arm, which was already straight, created a large space for Emma’s upper body to move again. Then, Emma quickly took the opportunity to grab the man’s right arm, then pulled him again with all her might, until his face really hit the hard helmet. After that, Emma immediately moved her legs to twist the legs of the man who had lost focus. Quickly, Emma twisted her body like a snake, so that their positions had changed in the blink of an eye.

Right now, Emma’s legs were on the man’s chest and neck. The man’s right arm caught between Emma’s legs. With Emma who already clutching his wrist with both hands, she followed by pulling the hands strongly while lowering the bend of her legs.

CRACK!!

“ARGHHHH!!” The man’s scream echoed throughout the room.

The Jiu-Jitsu technique had broken the man’s arm. Then, Emma let go of herself and stood up straight away, “Feel this dwarf kick, you bastard!”

BUGHH!!

The man immediately fell unconscious with a slowly bleeding broken nose.

All enemies have been flattened. Emma immediately turned to the stairs that led to the next floor, where Poppy had been dragged by two men. Emma fastly walked towards the stairs.

.....

But Emma couldn’t help to slow down her steps while holding her stomach with a pained grimace on her face, “Shit!” she murmured. Her movements were a bit hampered because the trace from the man’s headbutt had caused quite a lot of pain there.

Two men dragged a girl in their midst. The girl’s face was puffy with tears, with clothes that seemed to be worn perfunctory. They headed to the fifth floor, according to their superior’s orders.

Roger’s eyes went wide as Poppy emerged from downstairs with two men holding her arms.

“Bring her here,” Donny’s ordered leisurely.

Poppy was released three steps ahead of Donny. She immediately sat on the floor with tears in her eyes. Her knees felt very weak from trying to struggle when the two men dragged her away. At first, Poppy planned to run away from the building. However, she found that all the doors had been locked because the information about the intruder had spread.

“Poppy.. My innocent and sweet girlfriend,” Donny said while still holding Roger’s back under his foot, “You know this guy, don’t you, honey?”

Poppy didn’t answer the question. She just kept her head down as she continued to cry.

Donny smiled faintly, “If you don’t want to answer me. Maybe this loser can take your place.”

“ARGH!” Roger screamed as Donny strongly stomped his foot on Roger’s body.

“Stop it!” Poppy shouted.

Roger looked at the girl with a frustrated face. Realizing this situation made him very disappointed in himself. The girl he loved was cornered in front of him. But instead of helping, he got under the foot of the man who had ruined the girl’s life.

“How romantic.. The innocent and the loser. Actually, you two can make a great couple. But sadly, Poppy likes me more than a weak loser like you.” Donny laughed.

“Stop it, Donny! I beg you!” Poppy shouted again.

“Oh? For the sake of this loser, you dare to shout at me, huh?”

“What I’m doing now has nothing to do with Poppy. She knows nothing!” Roger breathlessly interrupted.

“Do you think I’m stupid?” Donny lifted his foot and stomped it again until Roger squealed more.

“Oh...” Kei let out a voice. Beside him was a black backpack which he was unpacking. In his hand, there was a paper that had many creases and wrinkles that was the map of the Hell Gate headquarters building, “So, he wants to attack our server units. That’s the reason he came here. Then, this..” The man continued to open Roger’s wallet, then showed the contents of the wallet to the audience, “The photo of that girl with him. So romantic.. He looks manly to embrace her like that.” he chuckled wittily because he found it funny.

“So you attacked our base just to save that bitch? You’re really a good man, aren’t you..?” Kei praised. Then, he stepped closer to Roger who was under Donny’s foot, then crouched beside him.

“But, you know what? The love that too big will even be more difficult to requited.” He continued with a pitying smile.

Then, Kei continued to stand up with a big yawn. He went to the other door on the same floor and knocked on it. Soon, the door opened, “Actually, I didn’t want to disturb your sleep. But it looks like you guys have something to take care of here.”

Roger looked at Kei with his heart pounding hard. Then, his eyes widened even more when two tall figures of men came out of the room. They both look very, very similar. Their face and shirtless body had no difference. The only way to tell them apart was from the hairstyles. One had his hair cut short, and the other in a Cornrow braid.

They were the twins Gozu and Mezu. The main guard of the Hell Gate. Two men with ranks below Kei Matsumoto. Even within the group, none of their subordinates dared to look the twins in the eye directly. Everyone would lower their heads while talking to the giant duo.

“Hoammm! It’s okay, boss.” Said the short hair, who was Mezu, while scratching his hump.

“Huh? Why is it so crowded here? What’s going on?” Gozu asked with a sleepy face.

“Two rats have infiltrated our base. One is downstairs. He’s fighting the other members. Please don’t let them get away, okay? I want to see their bones in front of my room, for me to make a doormat in the morning.” Kei patted Gozu’s shoulder.

“Now I want to go to sleep. Don’t disturb me,” He said as he walked away, entering his office where there was a bedroom inside.

Gozu and Mezu looked at each other with an even face, then shrugged their shoulders. At first, they were fast asleep in the room. Just like Kei, the two of them were like corpses when they slept. No amount of noise would vibrate their eardrums at all.

Even just a slight move, the twins did not take the matter that was going on seriously. Just need to finish off two rats? They could do it in less than a second with their eyes closed. But because the big brother ordered, they had to do it anyway.

Then, Gozu and Mezu walked casually past Donny who was silent in front of them. One of them glanced at the man who was stepping on one of the rats that Kei meant.

“Hey, manager. Are you guys in a talk?” Gozu asked lazily.

Donny smiled kindly, then nodded once, “These two people are professing love to each other.”

“Oh.. Then, we’ll wait there,” He pointed to the stairs that led to the sixth floor.

“Okay, thank you,” Donny said excitedly and respectfully.

The two men who were holding Poppy’s right and left side instantly let out a sigh of relief when they saw the hideous dark-skinned twins finally sitting on the steps which Kei had previously sat on. They both leaned back against each other with sleepy eyes.

“Hmm.. Where were we?” Donny muttered, “Ah.. Right. I wanted to ask Poppy something.”

Then, he let go of Roger and swapped positions with the two men guarding Poppy. He put his arm around her as he pulled his phone out of his jeans pants pocket.

“Poppy, do you still think that you really are my girlfriend, hem?” asked the man.

Poppy’s tears were flowing again, and she shook her head weakly.

“Do you know why I never saw you as my girlfriend? It’s because of that guy,” He pointed at Roger face who immediately gave a questioning look.

“You professed your love to me.. But actually, you are keeping another guy in your heart. The guy who is embracing you in the photo that you keep in your wallet.. is Roger Timothy, right?” he continued with a smile.

Poppy and Roger immediately gasped. They simultaneously looked at Donny and turned to each other. It made Donny laugh out loud, “How f*cking romantic, guys! It turns out that you’ve been in love with each other all this time. However.. Roger.. I really feel sorry for you. You like a female demon like Poppy. She betrayed your love, just because she didn’t want to date a loser. Look... this girl has even slept with guys, just because they look cool. She works on porn sites, taking advantage of her innocent face that most guys like.”

“Stop your bullshit, you bastard! I know you framed Poppy to do that!” Roger growled. He was now in a kneeling position with his arms and shoulders restrained by two men who were actually members of the film crew.

“But you like it too, don’t you? I know you also watch this naughty girl on our website. Her face while doing that looks really cute, right? I know, people like you are willing to pay a lot of money to satisfy your fantasies by watching Poppy’s vulgar actions even if only through the computer screen! Hahaha..”

“No! Stop it, Donny! I did what you asked! Why do you keep doing this?!” Poppy cried. Then, she looked at Roger with a face full of shame, “Please don’t listen to him, Roger!”

“Oh.. Because it turns out that your first love has messed up my workplace to save you, then, that is the same as breaking the agreement, sweetie.” Donny smiled.

Then, Donny fiddled with his phone for a moment and showed the screen right in front of Roger’s face.

“No! Don’t do that! Please!” Poppy screamed as she struggled, trying to snatch the phone from Donny’s hand. But of course, her efforts were in vain.
