The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)-Chapter 217

217 Chaos In The Underground Cave

As soon as Kenny came out of the room, Albert did what the tall man told him to do. All the money and important files stored in the room were immediately cleared. It may take quite a while to do so. But he was sure that those strong men would be able to buy time for him.

Before long, the same bookshelf shifted again and made Albert about to experience a heart attack again. It turned out to be Marcel and Vico.

“Where’s Renu?” Marcel’s question was the same as Kenny’s.

“Kenny’s already here. They’re downstairs.” Albert answered. “He told me to get all the files and..”

“Just do as Kenny told you to. Take care,” Marcel cut him and immediately ran out of the room with Vico.

Albert could only let out a long sigh as he continued his work. “You punk!” he complained. He did not expect the snotty boy who at that time stood under his feet now turned to order him impolitely.

Arriving at Bluevalley, the group of Black and Jita Kyoei found chaos in front of the main door of the Underground Cave.

Ian got information from Frank who said that Kenny pulled back all his men from RJC’s headquarters. Louis tried to chase them and realized that they were heading to the Underground Cave.

.....

“Soon the RJC men will be swarming this place,” Ian said.

“Is the front door really this small?” Emma asked.

Calvin nodded, “Looks like it’s a little hard to get inside with this crowd.”

“My informant said Kenny came in through the back door. Do you know where the door is?” Emma asked.

“I didn’t even know there was another door to get into that place,” Ian replied.

Emma was thinking that they had to find that back door. Somehow, she had a feeling that the door might lead her to an important place in the Underground Cave.

When they parked their motorbikes, Emma immediately stepped away from the guys. Then she pressed the button on her mouthpiece to connect to Kathy.

“Kathy,”

“Yep?” The girl who was still sitting in front of her computer answered her. She had been watching Marcel’s message activity since then and was looking for other information about RJC and the Underground Cave.

“About that back door you mentioned earlier, would you be able to find out where it is?” Emma asked.

“I’ve never done that. But I’ll try. Give me some minutes,” Kathy replied.

Emma nodded, “Thanks, Kathy.”

“What is your friend doing?” Ian asked while glancing at Rachel who was standing beside him. He looked at Black who drifted away from them and stood alone in the distance.

“Contacting our informant,” The tall girl answered.

“Seriously, how many of you are there? Is the informant an insider of RJC?” Ian asked curiously.

“You don’t need to know,” Rachel answered flatly by walking away from him to approach Emma.

Calvin chuckled. “They’re annoyingly mysterious, aren’t they?”

“Both are goddamn annoying,” Ian snorted.

“We can’t count on Kathy’s uncertain search. Looks like one of us will have to stand guard outside to find the back door.” Rachel said.

“You seem to have the same thoughts as me, Rachel.” Emma smiled faintly.

Rachel nodded, “If anyone came in through that door, maybe someone escaped from there as well. We have to sort things out today, right?”

“You’re right. How about you stand guard outside?” Emma suggested.

“Fine by me. I’ll wait for the further order from you.” Rachel answered.

Then the two girls approached Calvin and Ian who were ready to go.

“I’ll stay outside until information about the back door is found.” Rachel said.

“Then I’ll wait with you,” Ian said.

“All right. Black and I will enter through the front door. Troy may already be inside.” Calvin checked his cell phone, “My phone is back to normal now. If anything happens, you can call me.” He said to Ian.

“Sure,” Ian nodded.

Inside the Underground Cave, things were out of hand. In the end, Renu was cornered by the enemies. The number of RJC members was indeed more than Jita Kyoei’s. However, Troy and his friends were always selective in choosing members.

Jita Kyoei was not a gangster group that would pay men to become part of its group. Jita Kyoei was formed from a group of men who were passionate about Judo and wanted to join a community that had the same dream. Therefore, the friendship in Jita Kyoei was so tight. That was because they were united not because of money and power, but truly of the care for one another.

Almost all members of Jita Kyoei were students of the Judo studios. In fact, many of them were already athletes. The location of the Underground Cave, which was now crowded with many people, made Jita Kyoei’s men superior because they found it easier to grab opponents with both their hands.

The falling RJC members made Renu even more besieged by Jita Kyeoi’s members that were still quite numerous.

Nicko and Martin were the best fighting couple. The crazy Martin and sane Nicko were Yin and Yang that complement each other. Then, when Renu was holding Martin who was busying him from the front, Nicko managed to touch the man at his blind spot.

Nicko attacked Renu from behind as the man used the entire length of his staff forward at Martin who continued to lunge at him like a madman. A hard kick on his hump knocked Renu down.

Seeing that, Martin laughed loudly. His entire body was decorated with bluish-red bruises from being hit by a bamboo stick. Now, he could finally touch the already overwhelmed man.

But before Martin stood in front of Renu, a big man suddenly came to attack him.

Renu who managed to get back on his feet, rubbed his upper back which was in great pain. “You finally here, Kenny,” he muttered to himself as he looked at Kenny who was turning into fighting with Martin.

Suddenly, Renu felt a shadow move swiftly toward him. He immediately turned around while swinging his staff at the person who was about to attack him.

Nicko’s punch failed to hit Renu who swiftly parried it with his long stick. The fact that Kenny Brown had arrived as reinforcements meant that they had to fight one on one. But it turned out that Nicko’s estimates were wrong because not long after, he saw the arrival of Marcel Douglas and Vico Hustel.

Seeing this, Martin and Nicko pulled back together.

“Darn it! Why did they all come here?” Martin said breathlessly.

“I don’t know,” Nicko shook his head. “There’s no way we lost at the headquarters, right?”

“Nonsense. Troy is there,” Martin replied.

“Don’t think about anything else just yet. We’ll sort it all out here. You can do it, can’t you?” Nicko looked at Martin with a face drenched in sweat.

Martin chuckled then stuck out his left fist, “Never ask my guts,”

Nicko smiled. “We’ll see who knocks out more,” He hit Martin’s fist with his.

Two of Jita Kyoei’s core team vs four of Red Jack Commander’s core team. It seemed they really enjoy having an unequal battle.

“What happened?” Renu asked Marcel in the middle of their fight.

Marcel, who had just beaten one of Jita Kyoei’s men, replied, “The headquarters attack was just a trap. They did target the Underground Cave.”

Renu clicked his tongue. “At least secure Albert first,” he said without stopping waving his staff.

Marcel nodded, “Done,”

Then they split up again to fight.

Martin spat out the blood that had filled his mouth before wiping it with the back of his hand. He grinned widely until his bloodied teeth were clearly exposed. “You guys made this fight so much fun,” he said with widened eyes.

“It wasn’t a very wise decision to have trouble with RJC,” Marcel replied.

“Save that opinion at the end of the fight. I’ll break every backbone in your body.” Martin replied with a giggle.

“Apart from being crazy, you also like to talk big,” Marcel smiled lopsidedly.

“Have you ever heard: never say ‘Crazy’ to a madman? You’ll make him go crazier!” Martin replied by running to attack Marcel.

“So, you are here, coward?!” A scream made them stop.

It was Troy Roner with both hands gripping the collars of the two unconscious RJC members. He seemed to have dragged the two of them inside.

“You have no idea how delightful this fight has been, Troy!” Martin exclaimed with a laugh.

Troy smiled crookedly then released the two men from his hands. Then he stepped up to them. “Kenny Brown. What a coward you are to leave the fight and your own friends. You’re downgrading the man value in the eyes of the world.”

Kenny just stared at Troy. In his heart, he was embarrassed at what Troy had said. Kenny hated a cowardly man who had the heart to leave his friend in a bad situation. It was something Oscar Chopper had done before his eyes.

However, now Kenny was doing that to Black who had the intention to help him. He wasn’t just trapping him but had left the Black alone to fight with the powerful Troy Roner. In fact, he was licking his own spit.

It was a battle that had many pauses. Unexpectedly, almost all the core teams of the two groups had to fight in the same place. Here, not only the prosperity of the two groups, but the strength of the core team of the groups would truly be proven.

As time went on, the conditions on Bluevalley Street were getting busier. It was because all the members of RJC and Jita Kyoei came to fight as if they had moved the battle ring that had been at RJC’s headquarters to the Underground Cave.

An old man with a moustache who had just returned from a famous cake shop in the middle of the city, deliberately chose a detour to surprise his birthday wife. The plan was that he would enter through the back door of his house so that his wife did not notice his return.

The detour the man was taking was through Bluevalley Street which hardly anyone passed. Beside Bluevalley Street was Greenvalley Street which led to a dead end. No one had any reason to go down these two dead streets.
