Chapter 12: Loyalty

"Ugh..." Koda groaned as he stacked a large bag of cement on another. It was already 12 bags high, and 22 bags wide.

"Only 600 more to go, this strengthening quest is no joke huh?" He said to himself.

Just as he was about to take a moment's rest, he heard footsteps approaching quickly behind him. Koda turned to see a man, tall and burly, approaching him. His heart sank when he recognized Hana's father, gripping a baseball bat tightly in his hands.

"What are you doing here?" Koda asked kindly, keeping up the same facade he had used to talk with them before.

Hana's father's grip on the bat tightened. "You stay away from my daughter," he warned, his voice trembling with rage.

Koda knew that it was best to keep his cool in this situation.

"Sir, I understand your concern," Koda said calmly, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "But I assure you, I have no ill intentions toward your daughter. We just went on a date, that's all."

Hana's father's face contorted with anger. "A date? You think you can just waltz into my daughter's life, ruin it, and then act like nothing happened?"

Koda took a step back, trying to defuse the situation. "I didn't mean to ruin anything, sir. I care about Hana, and I want the best for her."

Hana's father seemed to calm down slightly, but the bat remained tightly clenched in his hands. "You better stay away from her. She's been through enough."

'My god... Take your leave bitch,' Koda thought to himself, getting annoyed.

"Whatever you say sir... After what she did I'd rather stay away from that slut anyway."

Hana's father had just been about to turn and walk away, but hearing Koda's words he instantly double-backed and stepped up to him, getting close to his face.

Hana's father's face twisted in rage as he got even closer to Koda. His voice was a low, threatening growl. "What did you just say about my daughter?"

Koda's heart raced, but he had to stick to his act. He couldn't afford to let this situation escalate further. "I said after what she did, I'd rather stay away from her. She's nothing but trouble."

Hana's father raised the baseball bat, holding it menacingly. "You watch your mouth, boy. Don't you dare disrespect my daughter."

Koda laughed in the man's face. "Is it disrespect? I just always keep it a hundred sir. After all, she did sleep with 4 grown men. All at the same time too. Hell she got used so much I wouldn't be surprised if all she thinks of is getting pumped and dumped like a good little who-"

Whoosh

Koda fell to the ground, blood gushing from his head as Hana's father screamed at the top of his lungs, raising his bat.

"How dare you fucking brat!" He yelled, slamming the bat down on Koda's head once again.

"Hah... Hahahaha," Koda laughed, his eyes wild as he looked at his blood on his hand. "You're fucked Sir."

"Boss?" A boy said, leading ten others behind him as they looked at the scene.

"Did you hurt the boss?" The boy said, looking at Hana's father with anger before Koda raised his hand.

"Don't Satoshi, just call the police, no need to raise a hand to such a useless stain in society."

Satoshi, Takeshi's old number two, immediately grabbed him phone and dialed the number.

Koda stood up, breathing heavily as he looked at Hana's trembling father.

"What's the charge for attempted murder? And it's even worse since I'm a minor, Hey Mister Kurosawa... You're fucked!"

Koda was smiling widely as Hana's father dropped to his knees, the weight of what he had done settling in. Koda stepped close, bending down to whisper something in his ear.

"As for your daughter? I'm going to use her every single day from now on, she's going to be my personal whore and I'm gonna sell her to every junky, criminal, and pedophile in this damn city, and by the time you get out she'll be just another whore on the street selling herself to survive. As for your wife... I'm sure plenty of teens would pay to take a crack at a lonely milf."

Koda chuckled as he went back to the bags of concrete.

"In fact... Fuck it it's self-defense right?" He said as he turned back. "Beat him until the cops get here everyone." 

With that they jumped Mr. Kurosawa, all while Koda went back to stacking the bags of coincrete over and over again.

You have gained 10 TP, and continue doing not-so-heroic deeds to unlock more functions for the system and new skills.

New skill earned. [Cunning]

[Cunning](Passive)-

You naturally have a way to get out and into any situation, outsmarting others is childsplay to you.

Notoriety has gone up by 10!

Notoriety: 30(Boss)

...

Another week passed, and Koda finally finished his 2nd strengthening quest, bringing all of his stats up by one, but he wasn't able to successfully level up.

Hana's father was arrested and given a trial date before getting thrown into the local jail. The bail was too high for Mrs. Kurosawa to afford, so he was going to be in there until he ultimately got charged guilty. 

As for Hana... She returned to school at the beginning of the week.

"God... Who knew she was such a slut... Thanks for this opportunity Koda," A guy said, leaving Hana on the floor, cum on her face as she laid on the men's bathroom floor with a blank expression.

"It's no problem, be sure to tell your friends... What the hell is this?" Koda stopped smiling as he looked at the 5000 yen he'd been handed.

"U-Uh... That's all the money I had so-"

"Shut up for a sec," Koda interrupted, standing up and throwing the 5000 yen on the floor. "People just keep playing with me..." He muttered, looking down at Hana.

"The fee is 50k Yen, if you didn't have it you shouldn't have booked a session."

Koda grabbed the boy by the throat, clenching down hard as the boy choked.

"Wait wait what if I can do something else!" He yelled in fear as Koda gripped his throat tighter.

"Oh? Like?"

The boy seemed hesitant, but with three guys behind him and Koda in front of him, he didn't know what else to do.

"I... I have a sister... She's a 3rd year," The boy didn't even finish as Koda let him go, smiling and putting his hands on his shoulders.

"In that case I'll give you a permanent discount... But only after you bring your sister to us... Deal?"

The boy gulped. "D-Deal." 

The boy left the bathroom, breathing heavily as he looked like he was about to cry. 'What'd I just do.'

As the boy left Koda threw a towel to Hana. "Get cleaned up, education is important after all," He said before someone else walked into the bathroom.

"I knew it..." Ryuuga said, looking angrily at Koda.

"My goodness dude, you really wanna do all this shit again-"

"No... I didn't come here to fight..." Ryuuga looked at Satoshi. "Takeshi lost, Satoshi was his number two, and I was his number one... But it's about time I make the switch."

Koda was shocked. 'What's with that sudden change, is he trying to catch me off guard?'

"I don't need to share the profits... But I want one thing," Ryuuga continued as Koda got ready to fight.

"Her, pay me with her..."

The room was silent as Ryuuga stared at Hana, who had tears in her eyes, clearly shocked as well.

"Hey Ryuuga you son of a bitch," Koda said, grabbing the boys shirt aggressively. "Deal!"

And that was how Koda absorbed the rest of Takeshi's and Kuroda's followers.

Meanwhile, as Ryuuga slammed Hana's wrists down onto the bathroom floor, someone stood on the roof of the school.

"Hello? Yeah it's me... That Koda kid is gaining too much influence... I want you to kill him... Yes tonight."

Rio Tanagawa hung up the call with his number 6, staring at the sunrise. "Alright Koda Ihono, let's see what you got..."
