Ricky downed a bottle of mineral water. He squeezed the bottle and threw it down hard. Sweat poured from his body for fighting with unknown people.
He rubbed the chest of a man whose face was full of bruises.
"Who told you to?" He asked with a furious face but the man did not answer. A loud kick landed on his face until the man fainted.
Ricky's headed for the other one. He stomped on the head of the man who fell down and asked the same thing.
"K-we don't know. Just..we. paid de-payment.big..if successful. bring the person photographed who.scattered.." his voice choked due to a great kick has landed in his heart.
Ricky caught his breath. Today he faced over 20 people alone without any weapons. Somehow tonight he was surrounded by people who rode motorcycles until part of his car body was damaged.
"Surely they've already made plans." Keen clenched his hand. Even though these people were told to, it seemed that they did not know who they were dealing with. It was possible that if they knew what they were dealing with was Keen, they would refuse whatever the fee was.
"Who sent my picture??"
"Someone.from..Stripe.."
Ricky kicked the man in the face until he fainted. He's taking his car to Valiant's headquarters, he needs to work out another plan.

"Keen! Pimply. A lot of people are gonna come after you because of the competition that Stripe is spreading!" Jonathan shouted as he saw a new Keen appear in front of the headquarters.
His eyes immediately turned to the blood on Ricky's hands and clothes and saw the car that had been scratched and the glass that broke.
"Ah. It seems you already know." Further again.
"Harry accused you of being the one who destroyed the Draw family company. Great Lord, who made the announcement so that you would be caught alive or dead." Lexus.
Ricky frowned. "Big Lord? What does this have to do with the Draw family?"
The others looked at each other, they didn't know that either.
"Then, it's not just you, Darrel's been targeted." Add another Lexus.
"Rich..." Ricky started to get nervous, because his sister was unable to fight. "Have you found Harry's whereabouts?" Ask Ricky.
"Yet. He's very hard to trace." Answer Jonathan.
"If so, let him seek us."
"meaning?" Jonathan frowned.
"Gather members now." Tell Ricky and get a nod from Simom who moves right out of place.

Richi sat on the edge of the basketball court. He watched Hugo play basketball with other core players. Not a few girls come to watch Hugo who looks cool while playing. Even blatantly the girls screamed asking to wipe Hugo's sweat until Richi shook his head in disbelief, it turned out that very many women were putting aside self-esteem for the sake of her idol's pair of eyes that glanced at her and smiled faintly at her as she said that.
It looks like Hugo is free to do anything to the girls because Richi who does not care and seems not jealous at all.
Hugo managed to score three long-range points. Not forgetting the blink of an eye he gave to Richi who applauded Hugo's action.
They rest, Axel throws a small towel at Hugo. He walked towards Richi while wiping his sweat.
Hugo crouched down under Richi, he looked up slightly. "Aren't you going to wipe my sweat?"
Richi shook his head and glanced at the girls who seemed to whisper to each other seeing the interaction of the two.
"You sure? The girls there are scrambling to hide it."
"Go, ask them to wipe your sweat away." Tukas Richi while Hugo throws lips, annoyed with his lover's answer.
Hugo sits next to Richi, chugging the drink that Richi gave him.
"I want to play." Richi said with eyes constantly staring at the basketball basket.
"Later first. Your stomach hasn't healed yet. Hence, it was a thin body so the knife went straight inside. If distended right, it must be faster to heal because the skewer is fat. Ahhaha.."
Richi looked at Hugo who was laughing out loud next to him.
"Many know, the envious of my body shape."
"Times?"
"I've been offered cheerleader several times. Especially when they see I can jump high. Then when I practice sports, I'm the most resistant to going around the field without stopping." Said Richi bragging.
"Look, huh?" Hugo scratched his non-itchy head while Richi held back her laughter. Can not be avoided, he was also actually happy to hear Hugo's chatter.
"Ichi, can I talk to you for a second?"
Richi and Hugo turned their heads, Emerald stood up while smiling at Richi.
"I'm ahead first. I'm waiting there." Said Richi while wearing her side. He walked forward with Emerald. Hugo is a bit upset that Emerald likes Richi. But she also knew that her lover was not to be suspected.
"What's up, brother?" Ask Richi while walking.
"Nothing, I just want to chat."
Richi laughed softly. "It's been a long time, yeah. Brother where have you been?"
"Follow a military seminar in country A."
"really?? Well, why wasn't I told? Do you want a military list?"
Emerald nodded, "This is a special final class willing to enter the military. Do you want a list, too, Chi?"
"Yes, brother. I'll continue there. Well, I didn't expect you to go to military school. I thought I'd learn business."
"It's against the parents. But, my will is very big here."
Richi nodded slowly.
"Then, why don't you ever practice taekwondo again? It's already great.."
"Ahaha, isn't it, brother. I'm just doing a lot of business."
Richi and Emerald chatted for some time, Hugo followed the two forward but did not find them there.
He searched the parking lot and the cafe in front of the school, but did not meet.
Hugo called, but the girl's number could not be reached.
Hugo asked the school guard, but the guard did not see either.
After an hour of waiting and making sure that Richi is not at school, Hugo chooses to go out with his friends even though he is a little restless, but his lover can not be contacted at all.
Hours later, Hugo receives a call from a number he does not recognize.
"Hey, shit, where are you taking Richi??"
That's Ricky's voice, he sounds very upset as usual.
"He went with Emerald this afternoon." The answer. Hugo has been in contact several times but Richi's phone is not active.
Ricky turned off his phone. Hugo was confused. Though it's night, but Richi has not reached home. He tries to call Emerald, asking Axel for his number.
"Hello, Emerald, is Richi still with you?"
"Richie? We just chatted up to the front of the gate, after which I went home and I thought he was waiting for you in front."
"W-what did you say??!"
Richi's not home, so where is he?
"Did something happen to Richi??" Emerald's question began to panic while Hugo instantly hung up his phone.
"Hey, what's wrong with Richi?" asked Darren who saw Hugo's concern.
"Richi, it looks like he's not home yet" she replied.
"Ricky, is it true that Richi's not home??" Ask Hugo via phone.
"Hey, shit. If anything happens to my sister, I'll make sure some of your limbs disappear!"
Hugo stiffens, not because of Ricky's threat, but because Richi has disappeared.
He quickly headed for Valiant's headquarters. Whatever it is, she wants to find her boyfriend.
