Chapter 86 Two Chuunibyous Fight
"Sir, sir, sir… please wait!"
Alex heard a shout as he walked out. Turning back, he saw the guy called James rush towards him.
"What?" Alex asked with an annoyed face. He was still in a bad mood.
James closed in on Alex and said with a polite smile, "I am really thankful for what you did inside. You saved me from getting a hole in my wallet."
Alex shook his hand and said, "no problem." He then went on his way to get a cab.
"Sir, please wait!" James approached Alex again.
"Now what?"
With the same polite smile, James took out his card and gave it to Alex.
"I have an investment corporation and we deal with people's money. If you'd be interested, please feel free to contact me. I'll get you the best service available in the market."
This guy's polite attitude made Alex look at him again. Even though he could see Alex was annoyed as well as dangerous, he didn't let go of this opportunity and approached him to make a connection.
Alex couldn't figure out if this guy was an opportunist or just showing goodwill. In any case, it didn't hurt to get a new contact.
Alex took the card and chatted with the guy for a bit, then went his way.
He was going to Nix's new house which was a thirty minute walk from the Registrar's office downtown.
Halfway through, he passed by a dark alley and heard someone sobbing.
"Stop crying and give it to me!" A man's hoarse voice resounded in Alex's ears after the sobbing.
"I… I… no money…" a young girl's voice responded.
"I said stop crying!" The man said again.
Alex sneaked close to the two conversing and hiding behind a trash bin, saw a man with a black eye mask wearing black and white stripes costume.
He appeared like a burglar and seemed to be threatening a young girl, probably in her late teens.
The burglar had a small pipe in his hand and was holding it slightly away from the crying girl.
"Give it to me! Stop wasting my time!"
The girl, still crying, said, "I really… sniff… sniff… don't have it…"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Do I look like a foo—"
Rumble!
"HALT!"
Alex heard the sound of thunder at the end of the valley and there appeared the silhouette of a burly man wearing a cape. His cape fluttered with the wind.
The girl and the burglar looked at the man and the burglar asked, "who the fuck are you?"
"Your worst nightmare." The man said in a serious tone.
The burglar frowned and replied, "listen mister, I don't know what you think is going on, but I am not trying to harm this girl. I just need—"
"Trash Panda, do you think I don't know what you're trying to do with that little girl? I got a quest asking you to stop and I will, today." The man took a step close to the burglar after saying so.
Alex saw the burglar's face turn annoyed. He faced the man and said, "It's flying raccoon, for the love of God! And who the fuck are you? How do you know my name?"
The man, stopping in tracks under a dim street lamp, answered, "Nightmare," Rumble!, "Fallen Nightmare."
The burglar, the girl, and Alex, all three looked around to see where the thunder was coming from.
Rumble!
"You shall face me, Trash Panda. For that girl is mine." Nightmare answered.
Raccoon frowned and with an annoyed face, said, "bastard, I'll cut you into a thousand pieces."
"We shall see," said the man and charged at the burglar.
The two then exchanged a few punches and amidst their fight, Alex sneaked towards the girl and whispered, "Psst! Come here."
The girl looked around and saw Alex's handsome face. Thinking this guy might not be dangerous, she glanced at her sides and then sneaked away from the fight.
As soon as the girl reached behind a trash bin, Alex asked, "what's with that burglar and the chuunibyou? Why are they after you?"
Alex could figure out that this girl surely had something for two idiot Blesseds to go after her.
How were they Blessed one may ask?
It was simple. Those idiots were somehow too agile and powerful for a common man.
Hearing Alex's question, the girl teared up and said, "I don't know… I was just scavenging for food and then… sniff… then that man appeared behind me…"
'Scavenging for food?' Thought Alex. Then his gaze fell on the girl's worn out dirty clothes. 'Oh…'
It wasn't visible from afar, but now he could see clearly that this girl seemed a little malnourished as well as poor.
Ignoring everything, Alex asked with some concern, "have you eaten?"
Hearing that, the girl teared up further and said while shaking, "N-no…"
Nobody had thrown any food in the dumpsters as of now and she didn't get anything to eat. Her condition was really bad.
Alex sighed hearing that. This was probably a homeless girl.
"Where are your parents?"
"I… don't know…" the girl's expression turned even worse as Alex hit a sore spot of hers.
Thinking that he shouldn't ask more questions, Alex gently patted the girl's head and said, "stay here, I'll get you some food."
The girl nodded obediently and continued to hide behind the bin.
Alex rushed to get some food for the girl and was back in just two minutes with popcorn. While he was walking, he saw a popcorn cart nearby and naturally bought two tubs from there.
He smiled and handing a tub to her, said, "let's watch those fools for a while and then I'll take you to some better place to eat."
The girl didn't question him since she was really hungry. The last time she had food was at noon yesterday and immediately started munching on the snack Alex gave her.
After a few mouthfuls, the girl looked at the two guys fighting as Alex had mentioned and got busy.
"Goddamn, you bastard! I wasn't molesting her, I was just after her pendant!"
I knew you were a thief!" The man exclaimed and threw a punch.
"Being a thief is better than being a paedophile like you, bastard! What were you going to do with the girl!?" Raccoon blocked the punch and yelled while throwing a kick at Nightmare's abdomen.
"I got a quest to sleep with the girl. Don't label me as a paedophile!" Nightmare argued.
"Fucker!" Raccoon smashed the small pipe at the guy's head. "WHO'S THE REAL VILLAIN HERE!?"
Nightmare blocked the pipe with another pipe he found nearby and swiped his leg at Raccoon's feet, making him fall butt down.
Holding his collar, he punched the guy's face a few times and said, "don't hate the player!" Rumble! "Hate the game!" Rumble!
Bam! Bam!
"AAARGGHHH!" Raccoon cried out as he got punched in both eyes.
The girl, watching all of this, couldn't help but ask Alex, "where is the thunder sound coming from?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow that her stomach wasn't empty and life not at risk, the girl asked with a slight interest.
Alex shrugged and said, "don't know." Stupid people had no limits to doing stupid things and trying to figure things out would only make one lose their brain cells.
The girl, as she watched them more, then asked, "why are they talking funny?"
"They're chuunibyou probably and are just enacting a scene from their favourite anime. Anyway, it doesn't concern us. Let's leave."
Alex got away from the chaos with the homeless girl.
He had no idea what was up with the wannabe heroes, but knowing that one of the two wanted to sleep with this girl, it was enough of a reason to take her away.
Alex had his fair share of morals, no matter how twisted they might be.
He hurried with the girl and in ten minutes, they were outside Nix's luxurious mansion.
Standing there, Alex called his wife and once she picked up, asked, "Nixie, you're in your mansion, right?"
"Yes. Is something up, darling?" Nix asked, feeling Alex's tone was slightly different than usual.
"Good. Open the gate, I am outside." Alex said.
The gates were controlled by a switch present inside the house. They were also high and Alex couldn't just jump over.
Nix let the gates open up and Alex went inside with the girl and stood at the door.
Nix soon opened it up and her gaze fell on the young girl, around five foot six in height.
"This is…?" Nix asked.
Alex walked inside and said, "I'll explain later. Can you get the girl cleaned up first?"
Nix had many questions, but nodded her head and took the girl to the bathroom.
Alex sat on the couch and relaxed properly for the first time today.
In the morning he had to rush to Carl's place. He cleaned it up and then went to the Registrar who made him wait for three hours. Then there was this incident with the girl…
'Have I triggered some events or something?' Alex wondered.
In his past life, there were no such situations. He was leading a pretty normal life, but now he couldn't help but be sceptical and think.
He had started Gene cultivation and also had a system now.
Judging from the way those two guys spoke, did they have a system as well? If yes, did all Blesseds have a system? Many thoughts popped up inside Alex's mind.
Little did he know, he had indeed triggered some major event that was soon going to shake everything up.
This was just the beginning... for him as well as the rest.
