9 9. Fights

A Ten years old youth could be seen shuttling through the rooftops like a playground. He was moving faster than a cat could on a ledge.

'Falcone is going to traffic some humans today. I have to make sure that this doesn't happen'. The youth thought as he picked up his speed and went to his destination even faster.

In a harbour, there were multiple gunmen surrounding a container and guarding the perimeter.

Alex made his way through them very easily with his stealth abilities and happened to listen to some goons talking.

"Boss has found a really good chick this time". Goon A said as he looked at his partner.

"Yeah, she looks good but too bad, she is already reserved and cannot be toyed with". The Goon B sighed with disappointment like he couldn't wait to taste her.

"Yeah man, I wish I could have a piece of her". Goon A sighed and talked aloud.

Alex felt his disgust come up when he heard their words. 'These guys don't deserve to live'. He quickly made his way behind them and stood there silently.

He stood behind them silently. His presence was masked so well that they couldn't even while he was standing right behind them.

He quickly lashed out and knocked the two goons out with his acupuncture proficiency. He pressed his hand on their heads and started to channel his Hamon.

As his Hamon worked on their bodies, the two goons' bodies quickly shrivelled up at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Alex disposed of the two bodies as he felt his Hamon and body growing stronger through that absorption. 'Need to make sure that no one finds out'.

He expertly disposed of their bodies without a trace as this was a harbour. Then he quickly made his way through the narrow gap between the containers.

He heard the sound of wailing coming from the center, where the group of assailants were in highest concentration.

He quickly moved away. 'Need to take care of the surrounding goons before I start with the ones in The middle'. Alex ran inside the gaps as he sensed the goons.

He quickly moved behind another one as he used the acupunctures to make the goon enter a semi hypnotic state.

"How many of you are here?" He changed his voice before asking in a heavy and gruff voice.

"There are a total of fifty people here". The assailant said as he looked ahead blankly like a puppet.

"Any hidden ones". Alex asked to make sure.

"There are three snipers on the buildings around the harbour". The guy answered faithfully without hiding anything.

Alex quickly knocked the guy out and sucked out his life essence and threw him down the harbour but not before completely making sure that his body will decompose quickly.

'Now to take care of the snipers'. Alex looked towards the buildings around the place and started running in the direction of one.

He didn't take the stairs and quickly climbed up the

Through the window ledges and skilfully made his way up.

He was on top of the building before 2 minutes were even up. He looked for the sniper and saw a guy laying prone with a sniper on the rooftop. He made his way behind him silently.

He had made sure that no one knows what he is doing right now. Alfred and Bruce were asleep and he got out without them even knowing.

Quickly appearing behind the Sniper, Alex quickly knocked the guy out and sucked out his Life essence.

His actions were fluid and without any wasted movements. This was the best way for him to get stronger and get rid of filth of society.

Yujiro's experience was working in tandem with his bloodline to allow him an easier chance at doing things like these without feeling sad or retching all over the floor.

'1 down, 2 to go'. Alex quickly made his way over to the other two snipers and took care of them easily.

'Now to take care of those goons. There are only 47 left. If Assassins are counted then only 44'. Alex thought and quickly climbed down the building.

'Should've asked for Naruto powers and abilities. Assassination is so much fun'. Alex grinned under his mask as he quickly made his way over to the goons.

He was unaware that Yujiro's experience and bloodline was affecting him. He was liking the feeling of growing stronger and taking human lives like killing chicken.

He made his way back to harbour and slowly started to take out the goons one by one. By the time he took out the 20th goon.

The others felt that something was wrong as the sound of footsteps had lessened and they couldn't hear the other's talking voices.

"Something is wrong. Concentrate all the men on this container and await orders". The leader yelled and all the goons quickly converged around the container.

'Clever but not enough'. Alex looked at the pebbles on the ground and threw it opposite of him.

The goons were startled and quickly fired their guns at that place. Some of them even emptied their magazines from fear.

Alex hid behind another one as he let the broken light magnify his shadow to strike fear. Fear and anxiousness if used correctly could drop a person's combat effectiveness drastically.

"Go check". The leader ordered two goons.

The goons gulped their way over to the place amidst a bit of shivering. They were feeling a bit afraid of whatever was out there.

'What a waste of Life essence'. Alex lamented as he couldn't absorb too much life essence in a day.

After absorbing the snipers, he couldn't consume more because he wasn't strong enough and he felt a bit bloated.

'Guess, the upper limit of absorption should increase as I grow older'. Alex mused to himself as he kept a look out for the incoming goons.

He produced another clang and the goons immediately started firing their guns without regards to anything.

Alex took out some senbons that he had purchased. 'Not really hard to purchase these and are the best to leave no traces'. Alex threw the senbons and pierced the two goons' necks.

The two goons gagged as they slowly died a horrifying death in front of the others in the harbour.

This made the fear inside them grow to unimaginable heights as they started fire wildly and even injured their own comrades with bullets.

'Now to finish the job'.
