The Conqueror Who Conquered

STRIPE (1)

Richi stops at a basketball court not far from Clair's cafe. The field was already filled with dried leaves and looked worn out. The field seems rarely used by people around, because the magnificent buildings around it already provide a better basketball court.

He went out and took one ball under the bench. The night wind made the old leaves on the trees fall and drift into the field.

Richi turned his head when he heard the motor stop right next to his car.

Hugo got off his bike. He notices the place that Richi is going to be.

"You following me?" Richi's voice was not heard. His eyes were busy sweeping through every corner of the place. The corner walls of the field are full of pylox inscribed with the names of radical groups.

"You know this place too apparently". Hugo walked over. "This place is dangerous. There are a lot of bad people who like to act here".

Richi furrowed his brows and only remained silent as Hugo snatched the ball from his hand. He threw the ball into the ring until he got in.

"You, who exactly?" Richi stared at the self-dribble Hugo and shot him into the ring. The incoming ball bounced away from Hugo.

Hugo turned his head towards Richi who was still standing in his place.

"Me?" Hugo quickly picks up the ball that rolls towards Richi's feet. He stood straight in front of the girl.

"I'm Hugo Erhard." He said and smiled. Throwing the ball back without looking. And the ball goes right into the ring.

Looking at Richi who was gawking at his answer, Hugo laughed and sprinted a small ball that bounced around under the pole.

Hugo then threw the ball at Richi. The girl managed to catch him and then dribble up to the ring and put him inside.

Brak! The ball fell out of the ring and bounced again.

"I'm serious." Said Richi in a higher tone. He turned to look at Hugo who was behind him.

Hugo dribble the ball again. Closer and jump while putting the ball into the ring, he hangs his hand on the basket.

"Geez!" Hugo managed to land after his body swung in the ring.

He stood facing Richie. Their distance was so close that he had to look down at the girl's face. "It just seems you're the one who's not surprised when I say criminal gangs are around here". Speak in a low tone. Making Richi's eyes blink a few times.

BRACKET!

Hugo and Richi reflexively saw the ball suddenly fly into the ring.

"Ha ha. look, who's here." The sound of a man's laughter made the two of them look towards the source of the voice.

Richi, who was standing in front of Hugo, could hear his moans when he saw who the people were. Hugo's hands began to clench violently.

"Hey, it's been a long time, man. What's the point here?" The man walked towards them. Richie looked around. They have 6 people, wearing clothes of the same color.

"How about we sit down and tell a story for a second, hm?"

The man kept stepping. Richi could more clearly see his face. He was the chief among them. His face is the most scary. There are scratches like stitches from the tail of the eye to near his ear.

Hugo pulled Richi's hand and made her stand behind his body. At first glance, Richi sees Hugo's face that is full of anger.

"Oh, am I insensitive? You brought a girl. How can we possibly talk freely?" A grin on his face appeared accompanied by a small laugh from his friends. Richi knows very well what 'chatting' means by those people.

"Hey, Mr. Hard. Are you hard as your name is?" One of them interrupted, then accompanied by another laugh.

"How could he be weak, Jack. He is still part of us". Another answered the question of a man named Jack.

"Stay back. Don't deal with them". Hugo said slowly to Richi behind him.

"Come on, I just want to get acquainted." The man walked again until they were only two steps away.

The man tilted his head to look at Richi who was standing behind Hugo. Richi, who had heard Hugo was a part of them, started to get curious.

"Master Hard's taste is really good. Look at that leg. Can you guys see?" He said to the friends behind him. "It's so sexy."

Hugo threw a hard kick in his heart until the man fell backward. His mouth is bleeding. He was holding his stomach very painful.

"Damn it! You're always as you like!" One of his friends gritted his teeth furiously looking at Hugo.

They change positions until they surround Hugo and Richi.

One of those carrying wood as a weapon is behind Richi.

Richie could not keep quiet. Even if Hugo forbids it, he might miss something like this. Being a woman who pretends to be weak and takes refuge behind the male body.

Richi turned around and turned his back on Hugo. He looked at the man holding the wood in his hand. The man grinned at Richi from top to bottom.

"Hurry up, get him and drag the girl here!" Tell the man whose mouth is full of blood. He wants Richi as a sandraan so Hugo gives up.

"Miss, you're so pretty. Let me touch that smooth thigh of yours just once". Said the man in front of Richi with his dirty smile.

"You take care of what's in front of you.."

BRAKKK!

"Grichy!"

Shouted Hugo upon hearing the shards of Wood drifting towards Richi.

"Aargh" Fortunately, Richi's right arm fended off quickly. Richi groaned because the pulse in his hand was so pronounced.

Three men in front of Hugo, too, attacked. Strongly, Hugo faced the three people in front of him.

Richi off guard. He didn't expect the man to just beat him without caring about the woman or the man he faced.

"Asssha". Richi's anger rages. The man in front of him played a hit without seeing Richi's situation that was not ready. How dare he do that to women. His inner.

Richi then kicked the man's stomach until he fell a few steps.

The man strikes again and gets a hard blow on his nose from Richi's left hand.

'Damn 'Damn. My right hand hurts a lot' umpat Richi because it feels upset, the strongest energy is on the right. That's what can't be used now.

Richie is confronted by two men. He glanced slightly at Hugo who was fighting against three people.

Hugo was busy. His opponent is pretty tough. It was only fitting that Hugo forbade him from dealing with these people.

"Damn it! You're strong too!" Said the man while covering his nose which started to bleed. He had not expected the woman who was with Hard to be able to martial arts.

Richi put up the horses. His eyes were staring at the two people in front of him. Both of his hands clenched hard. He acted as if his hands were fine.

"Hiaaaat" the man attacked. With great emotion, Richi kicked towards the side of the opponent with all his might. He lifted his left leg and double-kicked the man's heart and neck.

He was holding his stomach. Richi with all his strength made him feel a very strong hit.

Richi glanced at the other one. The man looks surprised to see the rapid movement of Richi.

"Damn. Comehere!" The man was angry to see his friend who lost because of women.

When Richi wanted to move forward, Hugo quickly jumped up and rained a kick on the man's stomach and face until the man fell down and groaned in pain.

"Damn you Erhard! You'll see, I won't stay silent!" Said the man as the chief. He then ordered his men to leave. His eyes filled with anger looked at Hugo and Richi at the same time.

"You see!" And went away and went away from that place.

Hugo baralih to Richi.

"Richi, what's your hand?" Hugo held the girl's right hand.

"Lad". He complained of pain. He opened a little of his clawed arm. Looks reddish bruises are quite wide there.

Hugo exhaled violently at the sight of a bruise on Richi's arm. The impact was so hard that the wood was broken. "Is there medicine in your car?"

Richi nodded. Hugo ran towards the car and looked for the medicine box. While Richi, walk slowly and sit on a long bench.

After finding him, Hugo ran again towards Richi. There was a sense of guilt in him for not being able to protect just one person behind him.

Hugo opened his jacket and spread it out on Richi's lap. Hugo kneels under the bench. He then helps Richi uncover the sticky arms he wears to the top. Then start giving medicine to bruises that have turned blue.

Sometimes Richi moans when Hugo treats him slowly.

"Hugo, That.." Richi pointed towards the wound at the corner of Hugo's lower lip.

Hugo didn't care. He is focusing on Richi's bruised hand because of his actions as well. He really feels guilty.

"So you, their members?" Richi asks because he wants to ease his curiosity on Hugo.

Hugo did not answer. He focused on giving the drug to Richi's bruise which was wide enough. He himself was at a loss to give the girl an answer for fear of being shunned by her.

Richi squinted his eyes. "They're Stripe, right?"

Richi's question managed to make Hugo stop his activities. He was silent for a moment, as if thinking. He still did not answer. Then cover Richi's wound with a bandage.

Seeing Hugo's reaction, Richi believes Hugo is indeed their member.

Richi recalls the incident at Clair's cafe which was destroyed by the group's most evil, Stripe. If Hugo was their member, why would he attack Hugo?
