Chapter 7 The Fearless Kon

• “How dare you!” The sniper growled at Kon.
• “I dare much,” Kon narrowed his eyes at the man. “If you don't know where to keep your hands, you better seek ways to cut it off your shoulders, and stick them down your throat.” Kon turned and started for the door, without bothering about those around.
• The men with the sniper tried to stop him, but the devil raised his hand, signalling that they should allow him to pass.
• He was still awed by the youth who looks as fearless as a wolf.
• It pleased him to see Sniper brought to his knees.
• “This will teach you to go for those on your level.” He smirked as he watched Sniper glower.
• The devil knew it wasn't over for the boy, but at least, he was safe until they leave there.
• However, the devil doesn't intend to allow the sniper to get to the boy before him.
• Any fellow that can bring the egoistic sniper to his knees is worth keeping.
• “Rubbish!” Kon fumed in irritation as he left the place. He felt like kicking everyone he sees, but he kept the temper in check.
• He's still in his workplace, so it's not ideal to rant in fury, there.
• “Trouble in paradise?” Nat chuckled when he saw the expression on Kon's face.
• “There's more than trouble in wonderland.” Kon proceeded to tell Nat everything that had happened. “Can you believe that idiot? He's lucky I'm in a good mood. Had it not been for that, I would have shown him exactly what I'm made of.”
• “Wait a minute,” Nat furrowed his brows at Kon. “I need to get something straight.”
• “Yes, what's it?” Kon frowned as he checked the time.
• “You went into the room the devil was in and kicked one of his men?”
• “Of course, I did.”
• “Are you sure it's the devil you saw? It can't be the devil, else your life will be in danger.”
• Everyone knows who the devil is. And they know the Devil isn't a person to be trifled with.
• You don't cross him and go Scott-free. It's not possible.
• “He was there. Although I didn't get to see his face, he was there. And mind you, I don't care.”
• “You don't care? What if what he might—”
• “He can do nothing to me, Nat. You don't have to seem so surprised and all that. The Devil will do nothing to me. I don't have a cause to be afraid of him.”
• “Oh, you—”
• “I have orders to deliver, Nat. I don't have the time to stand here and converse with you.” He said before he left, with Nat standing with his hands folded as he observed the fearless Kon.
• “I pray you to meet no harm.” He sighed as he watched Kon.
• ********
• “I'm leaving!” Kon waved at them.
• He has changed out of his work clothes and is now putting on a sport short with the baggy shirt he got from the thrift store.
• “Have a good night!” Marie called from the pack as she too got ready to leave.
• “You too!”
• The bar was still in full force as Kon left. However, it was time for his shift change.
• Although the bar employed him despite knowing he's still a student, they have a principal they maintain.
• He's not to work until midnight. And that's why he's leaving by this time.
• “Bye!” Kon waved at the bouncer who was standing at the door.
• “Bye.” Tim beamed as he watched his leave. “be careful out there! It's dangerous for young boys like you to walk the streets alone.”
• “Oh, don't worry. I'm going to be safe. You don't have to worry a thing about me. I'm a big boy.”
• “If you said so.”
• “I do.”
• Kon grinned as he left the bar, and headed towards the alley that will lead him straight to the run-down excuse of a house he's living in, with his mother.
• The Devil who was patiently waiting for him to leave, signalled his men to call him.
• “Excuse me.” The men in suits called Kon whose attention wasn't on the black cars but on his destination.
• “How may I help you?” He narrowed his eyes at the men as he got ready for a confrontation with them.
• Kon knew he can't defeat them in a go; however, he was still determined to try.
• He will not back down without a fight.
• “I—”
• “If you have nothing important to say, you better—” He turned to leave, but one of the men blocked his path, and prevented him from leaving.
• “What's this?” He narrowed his eyes.
• “Our boss is calling you.” One of the men said.
• “Your boss?” He narrowed his eyes at the men. “And who the hell is your boss? Doesn't he have a name?”
• “The devil.”
• “What?” Kon frowned. “Is that a person's name?” He tightly held on to the strap of the bag.
• “Yes. Our—"
• “Go and tell your boss that I'm not coming anywhere. If he wants to talk, he can come by himself. If not, I'm leaving.” Kon tried to leave, but the men blocked him.
• The Devil sat in his car and watched the drama unfold in front of him.
• Just like he has expected, the human wasn't ready to bulge. He seemed ready to take everyone head-on.
• “What a feisty little thing.” The Devil caressed his jaw as he watched Kon. The boy interested him at first, however, looking at him now, the Devil felt the need to tie him to his bed, and do unimaginable things to him.
• He imagined how fun it will be to break someone as feisty as the human in front of him.
• Meanwhile, Kon was still arguing with the men, who were hell-bent on taking him to their boss.
• They all knew what will happen should they fail to bring him to the boss.
• The devil will have their head for their inability to complete a task.
