chapter 1- Rules

On a school rooftop, there was about three people gathering around two kids kneeling on the floor.

"P-please that's all I have"

A trembling voice sounded from one of the two kids.

*Bam*

A foot came bashing the pleading fat student into his face slamming his head down against the floor creating a crack.

"You should have brought more piggy."

A mocking voice can be heard coming from a student who was counting the money while smoking.

The student Ryu was tall about 193 cm, he was skinny and ripped at the same time, he has shoulder length slicked back black hair with few strings left out.

He's in a white track top, white t-shirt underneath and white sports pants and shoes. He wore shades, and a silver chain around his neck.

The two students standing behind him were in a white cleaner outfit with a mask covering their mouth.

"The money as said should not be below what I required?"

"And you?"

Then Ryu side looked at the other scrawny ugly kid.

"I-i forgot t-to bring the money"

Ryu after hearing that  stopped counting the money as he directed his gaze towards the skinny ugly student who was quivering.

"Hmm, So you said you forgot"

Ryu walked up to the kid as he placed the money in his pocket.

As Ryu stood Infront of the kid, he took a last puff off smoke before throwing the cigarette on the floor stomping it with his foot.

Ryu's next words were said without any expression but there was a hint of coolness that rushes to the heart when someone listens. "You think this is a game? You think you come here, empty-handed, and expect to walk away with just a beating? Do you honestly believe your life is worth more than the respect you should owe me?"

The quivering student dared not meet Ryu's gaze, as his eyes were towards the ground. Even though Ryu's eyes cannot be seen due to the shades he still felt as is he was stared at by his end.

"You see, there's a rule that I placed in my life." Ryu continued. "A rule to anyone. And that rule is simple. You don't cross me. You don't disrespect me. And you certainly don't forget your dues."

"For m-my mot.."

The student muttered weakly but it wasn't understandable.

"Huh?" Ryu lowered his head closer to the student "Did you say something?"

"It's for my mother, my mother is in the hospital and  the money is for the bills I have to take care of"

The student said without knowing how he got to talk under the pressure.

What responded to him was dead silence.

A minute has passed and Ryu didn't say anything and just continued to stare at him.

'He hasn't said anything, did he feel bad about me' the student thought that Ryu was taking his time, thinking that he will let him off.

Which gave him a bit more confidence to break the silence.

But that confidence was a big mistake that will lead to his end.

"You should understan-"

*Grab*

The student was cut off by a hand grabbing his neck.

*Bam*

*Crack*

What followed a fist smashing into his ribs breaking some of them knocking the air out off him as blood spilled from his mouth.

"Oi, did you just talk back to me"

The student while in pain looked at Ryu who's face was covered with veins and he could've swore that his eyes behind the shades glowed red.

*Bam*

"Ahhh"

Another fist smashed into his already broken ribs making the kid utter a shrill scream.

"You think I care that your mother who is at death's door?"

*Bam*

Another fist smashed his ribs further intensifying the pain of the student

"Not only you forgot  your dues but talked back to me"

Ryu let go of the student who fell on the ground spasming from the pain not being able to utter a sound.

*Stomp*

*Crack*

Ryu stomped his foot on the students  ribcage forming a dent breaking it all while the force creating a small pit with small debris flying out.

"Ahh-"

"Shut up"

*Bam*

This time a stomp with more force than before landed on his face sinking it  downwards bringing him to his last breath.

*Bam*

*Bam*

Ryu continued to stomp the student face as he was already dead.

---

About a minute of Ryu stomping, the already dead student was deformed to the point you don't know if his head was a piece of meat or something and blood was everywhere.

"Phew"

*Clink*

Ryu took a breath and lighted a cigarette as he looked down at his work.

"Now you don't have to worry about your mother, that's the only mercy I can give you."

He walked to the edge of the rooftop looking at the view.

"Clean up the mess and make sure to get rid of the body"

"Yes sir"

The voices of the two minions he picked to follow him. He saw their potential in fighting but specifically their mindset, they didn't care what kind of violence was displayed Infront of them and what's more they know how to clean without leaving traces.

As the two were cleaning, Ryu took out his phone.

"Yes, Sir?"

"There will be a meeting, make sure you tell the numbers."

"Understood, I will inform them."

Ryu placed the phone in his pocket as he kept smoking while looking in the distance.
