3 3)The Slip up

Pietro only had his title of fighting prodigy and his unusual and inhuman capabilities. But for some reason, that was why Pietro acted lazily and sleepy.

He guessed that this much power. This Unexplainable strength, speed, power, reflexes, flexibility, and much more along with his talent of mastering different martial arts and techniques due to his Fighting prodigy talent title, made him lazy.

Which was why he had two eye colors, he guessed it was a part of his talent. Even though science it had nothing to do with your body but your genes passed through, Pietro died and reincarnated, so anything was possible.

And what was terrifying of this was that Pietro was continuing to grow in power in all aspects. It was a terrifying truth Charles knew along with the zero, first generations. That was why he sent his only two bodyguards to him.

The reason he knew was because of Gapryong. He was an influential man that anything he done or said, was recorded by his allies and enemies.

And when he paid attention to Pietro due to his son training him constantly in different techniques and martial arts, he came across how this child continued to grow every second even though sometimes he did nothing.

It was a dangerous truth that people became aware of Pietro existence.

"Pietro! You goddam lazy bastard, all my teeth almost got wiped out because of you!" Goo said grabbing Pietro shirt and scrunching it up.

"It's…all good. We tied right?" Pietro, with his usual bored and uninterested face said as Goo mocked him by repeating after him.

""It's all good we tied right""Tch, you owe me a dentist appointment!"

"Yeah yeah…" Yawning, he swatted Goo hands off of him and laid on the ground with Charles, Gun, James, Tom and a new edition that looked like a middle schooler with a uniform.

"So tired…."

"Fighting prodigy vs the new fighting prodigy. How was it Tom." The new kid asked as he pushed up his glasses

"It-"

"Of course Pietro won, even though They're both considered prodigy's, Pietro Unusual strength is something else" James cut off Tom as he sucked on a lollipop while grinning.

"That is true, Pietro does have unusual capabilities despite his age and human limitations."

"Hey hey, I'm right here. Don't talk as if I was somewhere else" Pietro had his foot up blocking Tom fist as he said half heartedly.

"Though, I thought Tom would be angrier…." James said narrowing his eyes at Tom who was laughing due to Pietro leg strength holding his punch back with his feet.

Out of nowhere, Pietro shifted his center and made Tom punch fall in another direction as he caught a small white stick between his fingers.

A small amount of steam was followed by the catch as he looked at it and back at James.

"If you keep doing that, you're going to get cavities….."

The stick of the lollipop, was now between Pietro fingers as he flicked it back towards James who moved his head to the side.

James chuckled as he saw the stick going through the house and feeling something run down his cheek.

"Threshold of speed, it looks like it."

"This blah, that blah. Jeez just shut up."

James shrugged as he started to tend to the small cut on his cheek.

'I really wanna fight him now. With his unusual and inhuman capabilities, not to mention he's a fighting prodigy so his techniques are perfect.'

"Enough."

Charles stood up and looked at everyone. Pietro put his head back down as he began to listen while James and Tom were told to calm down.

Gun, goo were standing up and minding their own business as the kid with the uniform observed the scene before him.

Everyone here were people he did extensive research on and knew but he only had bits of pieces from other people about Pietro and some rumors.

Although the life of Pietro wasn't anything private or grand. He knew he was an orphan and was trained by the king of Seoul in his youth but he didn't know if his strength and title were rumors or true

But now, after witnessing that scene. He concluded that those rumors held some truth.

'This is crazy, can't believe I'm finally starting to see it unfold' Pietro though while screaming internally as he was basically hyped and somewhat excited.

He listened to what Charles was saying about their plan to create the remaining 3 crews as Pietro already guessed that the person in this room with the uniform, is Euguene but in his younger year before he went to high school.

He continued to describe his plan while detailing about how he needed to take care of something first but Pietro blanked out at that part as he came to a realization.

'Wait, if I'm in lookism, doesn't that mean questiusm, manager Kim and viral hit also exist here?!'

His eyes widen as he came to that realization and couldn't help but smile. Just the thought of meeting those character and putting them in their place made him unexpectedly happy and his heart burn.

"I'm glad you're happy Pietro to follow me and Gun." Charles stated as he saw the smirk on his face and couldn't help but known he wasn't listening.

"Yeah yeah. We just have to go to that country side and get your weakness." Pietro waved his hand and yawned but suddenly his eyes widen as he stopped two incoming attacks.

One was the foot of James while the other one was the hand of Charles. Pietro let out a sigh as he couldn't believe he made a carless mistake.

He saw how James looked pissed and not his usual cocky attitude while Charles looked annoyed.

"How do you know? I never said anything about that…." Charles said looking at Pietro while the remaining 4 people looked confused.

"I slipped…my way choice of words slipped…" Saying that, he moved the attacks as Pietro countered attack and striked at James first who looked somewhat happy due to being able to finally fight Pietro.

But due to the small space of this house, James didn't calculate Pietro attack accurately as his eye widen seeing the punch coming for his face but before it could connect, it was directed upwards as Charles was beside the duo.

Charles special move, invincible attacks, were being parried by Pietro as he had his usual uninterested face.

"Let's talk about this, I'm sure we can come to a conclusion." He yawned finishing his sentence as he rubbed his eye and ducked.

"Hoho~ come on Charles, surely you haven't gotten rusty" Tom said from the side lines as the young Eugene watched in silence and began to calculate the trio.

"20,000 won on Pietro winning" Gun said as he crossed his arms and looked to the side to see Goo sleeping.

"Pietro! You keep outperforming me. It's kinda fun!" James said as he kept attacking with his speed that was comparable to Pietro while Charles kept him occupied in another angle.

"It's getting annyoing, the teaming." Saying that while a plain face, he took on the hits of Charles's on purpose which was a bit painful as he kicked him in the chest and sent him flying to the wall which wasn't very far.

But that was all the time he needed to take care of James, was what Pietro thought but he was surprised James was hiding his strength.

Their attacks kept getting parried as each one landed hits in impactful areas but neither one got an upper hand until Charles kicked the back of Pietro leg and made him get on his knee.

Pietro saw Charles winding up a new kick to his back while he saw James kick in front aiming for his head as they wanted to end this quickly.

Once again, Pietro knew that he would get stronger than them In the next 2 or three years but now, he was on par with them so this fight wasn't going anywhere.

Charles and James even thought they finally had him but Pietro unexpectedly spun, with their attacks missing with Pietro elbow hitting their knees, changing their direction as he landed on his feet.

"Charles I'm not your enemy. Even though "that" is something only you two know of, I don't have any plans of telling anyone" Pietro said as he looked down on them but his head suddenly got smashed into the floor.

"And how will I trust you?" Charles held his head in the ground as he spoke from above.

Pietro leg bent backwards as it grabbed Charles by his head and threw him away "Because we're in the same boat. If you go down, I go down" he said getting up while having his dead fish eyes on Charles stabilizing himself in mid air before he hit the wall and had a large creepy smile.

"How so?" James suddenly said as he kneed Pietro in the stomach and slammed onto the ground while raising his leg, trying to smash it on top of his head.

"Think about it." A bored look appeared on his face as he blocked the attack. With his unusual sturdiness, Pietro took the hit head on but it still felt very painful as he grabbed James foot and threw him into the wall.

"If you get arrested, who's going to feed me and keep me living a good life."

Charles appeared in front of Pietro as he got swiped off his feet and saw James already recovered with him and Charles slamming their fist onto Pietro stomach, putting him into the ground in a fast and painful way.

"Is that your only reason?"

They both looked down to see Pietro wince in pain but his usual unamused face returned on his face. He suddenly disappeared from their view and appeared behind them as they got surprised by that inhumane speed.

Now it was their turn to be smashed into the ground. "Yes. Remember, I have nowhere and no one else to go to. Going to the police and telling on you would make me go back to that homeless living style"

James chuckled as he got up and patted off some dust and wiped some blood off from his mouth.

Charles did the same as he looked dead straight into his eyes and stared for many minutes.

After a phew minutes, Charles only sigh and fixed his clothes. "We're leaving tomorrow, be ready."

Turning around, that was the Que for everyone to leave as Gun and Pietro were the last to leave due to them living together.

James exited out while patting Pietro shoulder and Tom booming with laughter as he slapped the back of Pietro back.

"Pietro, I hope you'll keep it to yourself. After all, I'm very capable of hiding evidence" Charles said creepily as a huge smile appeared on his face.

Pietro just nodded as he exited out of the house and saw the destruction they left as he closed the door

With a gust of wind, Gun fist was an inch away from Pietro face as he glanced at it and back at Gun with an unamused expression.

"I don't care what you have on Charles, but I have my reasons to follow him and I have taken a liking to you ." He said while staring down at Pietro and continued "But don't mistaken me, my loyalty is to Charles not to you. And if he tells me to hunt you down, I will do that."

He finished as he saw Pietro yawning and covering his mouth with one hand as with Pietro height, he had long legs that could reach Gun head.

Gun realized that as he side eyed to the right and saw a pair of shoes next to his face.

"Yeah yeah. I could say the same to you. Although you don't believe it, I am loyal to Charles….and his money." With that, Pietro chuckled a bit which was odd for Gun as he couldn't imagine anyone laughing with those dead fish like eyes.

Nodding at that, Gun turned and started to walk with Pietro following him when a smiled appeared on his face with a quick gust of wind, Pietro stopped Gun punch that was about to hit his face.

"Now!, shouldn't you make it up with a fight!?"

…..

"Why did I have to come again?" Pietro said from behind as he wore a track suit and jacket with sandals. He saw Charles stylished out with business attire and a coat hanging over his shoulder while he looked to his side and saw Gun with all white clothing.

"It's your punishment, if all comes to plan, you're going to be come here tomorrow with James as well." Charles stated with Pietro yawning while hunching over. "I'll go ahead, if nothing goes wrong stay out of it but if it becomes complicated….."

"We'll kill the ones who make it complicated" Pietro finished his sentence without an ounce of hesitation.

'It's not any different from my army life…if anything, this is easier…..' Pietro thoughts kept him on edge as he continued to look around.

Seeing Charles enter the field of wheat and disappearing, Gun also looked around but after a phew minutes, they heard a loud smack which they could describe as a blow being blocked.

"Well" Pietro yawned "It looks like it got complicated." His bags under his eyes were dark as he stared into the field with an uninterested expression.

"…" Gun remained silent as he entered the field with his back muscles tightening.

"Sigh, guess I'm spectating." Pietro said as his back was hunched with his tall frame made him look monstrous as he had one hand in his pockets while using his other hand to clear his field of view.

He followed right behind Gun as the duo moved through the fields with the wind moving the rest out the way. If an artist was here, he would've shriveled in ecstasy as the both of them moving together was a masterpiece that needed to be put on a wall for the generation coming.

"….because also from our side, it's easy to kill." Charles stated with a small grin while being surrounded by a group of men.
