“Woah…this strenght is definitely something else…” Said Colt, who had just defeated another Wolf’s Fang member in a dark commercial neighborhood inside District 29.

Although his appearance was pretty close to normal, there were certain things about him that stood out.

For example, there were several visible veins on his arms, as well as one or two on his face, as if his body was under a lot of pressure.

But without a doubt, the most striking feature was the color of his eyes, where his irises had turned completely red, as if they had been dyed with blood.

Those features were, of course, the result of the Blood Pill that the boss had distributed to all the executives, who in turn distributed them to the most talented members of Metal Body.

‘Man, I really didn’t expect to be able to defeat some member of Wolf’s Fang so quickly…the effect of the pill really is amazing.’

In fact, even though Colt was somewhat strong and had some potential, he normally wouldn’t be eligible to receive this kind of pill since he didn’t have the strength to defeat some normal Metal Body member, but due to his contribution in the previous night’s situation, the executives decided to reward him.

The night before, after he encountered the young man who had been attacked by the hooded man and tried to chase after him, unfortunately, Colt did not encounter the man in question, so he decided to return to the place where the victim was.

However, to his surprise, the young man had disappeared, leaving behind a very confused Colt.

So, thinking that perhaps the hooded man might have kidnapped the young man, Colt proceeded to search the entire area, and although he found no trace of the two, he could tell that something strange was going on in District 30.

A few minutes later his suspicions were confirmed, as several explosions resulting from the confrontation between the Metal Body executive and the Wolf’s Fang group took place in District 30.

However, Colt did not join the battle, after all, he knew that with his current abilities he would only be a hindrance to the executive, so he focused on something else…following Wolf’s Fang’s group.

Although it was risky due to the fact that if they discovered him they could capture him, fortunately they split up so they could escape from the executive, which coupled with the fact that they were literally running for their lives, had increased Colt’s chances.

As a result, Colt had discovered where two of Wolf’s Fang’s bases were located._.

While this might seem like a small thing, it was actually of great importance because one of Wolf’s Fang’s characteristics was that they changed bases from time to time.

This is why they were able to protect several districts at the same time despite having few members.

The executives were quite pleased with this information as it would help them decide where to concentrate their forces.

So while Colt was not qualified enough to receive the pill, thanks to the contribution he had made, coupled with the fact that Colt was not that weak either, ended up in him being rewarded with a blood pill to be able to join the battle.

Though only in the Districts near the entrance, of course, as the further you went into the South Zone, the stronger the members of both organizations became, most being of (D+) rank.

And in that kind of battle, Colt, who was only able to defeat several rank (D) super at the same time thanks to the blood pill, wouldn’t last long.

“…Hm, I think that was the last…?” He said, seeing the three Wolf’s Fang members in charge of guarding the entrance of District 29 on the ground.

From their appearance, it was obvious that they had taken quite a beating, as their faces were quite swollen, their clothes disheveled and most of all, they were unconscious.

‘I always thought surprise attacks were for cowards…but they are surprisingly effective…’ He thought, remembering the way he had defeated them.

These 3 members had been chatting quietly about their stuff, unaware that Colt had been watching them for quite a while now, waiting for an opportunity to attack them.

Finally, that opportunity came when one of them went to the bathroom, at which point Colt took the blood pill and quickly immobilized him.

This obviously alerted the other two remaining members, who went out to look for their partner.

But Colt was already prepared for it, so the moment they reached a dark alley and separated slightly, he quickly took the opportunity to get rid of another one of them.

As for the last one, because there was no longer any need to hide, Colt quickly defeated him.

In that way he had managed to defeat 3 rank (D) pugilists in less than an hour.

Although they were members of Wolf’s Fang, with Colt in his strengthened state, plus the fact that he was using his rank (B) martial technique and a surprise attack to the fullest, they didn’t stand a chance.

Colt had been thinking about the battle he had against the hooded man, and while he didn’t plan to use as many things as he did, he had come to the conclusion that using surprise attacks and other methods was actually quite convenient.

“Well, I guess it would be best to tie them up with something before taking them to-“

*WOOSH!*

Just at that moment, an object flew swiftly towards Colt.

“!”

Colt quickly moved to dodge the object, causing the object instead to continue on its way until it slammed into a nearby building, creating a sizable hole.

Although the thrown object was small, it undoubtedly carried quite a lot of force, indicating the power of the person who threw it.

“You dodged it, eh, I guess it wasn’t just luck that you had defeated my brothers.” Said a man who was approaching from the opposite direction of where Colt was standing, “But, your streak ends here.”

This man was wearing a tank top that exposed his muscular arms along with jeans, but that wasn’t what was important, it was the pressure he was giving off, which was on a much different level than the supers Colt had defeated.

The next moment, not caring about what the man said, Colt launched himself at him, activating “Territory” and “Fire Fists” at the same time, his intention was clear, he wanted to defeat this man as fast as possible.

*BAM!*

The sound of a loud collision could be heard in the surroundings, product of the clash between the fists of both of them.

‘How fast!’ Colt thought as he saw how quickly the man in front of him had replied.

But before he could think of anything else, the man turned and threw a kick aimed at his head.

Colt, who had “Territory” active, could see that instantly, so he immediately proceeded to protect his head.

*BAM!*

‘!’

Even though he had blocked the kick with his arms, he still ended up retreating several steps backwards, indicative of the force contained in that kick.

“Looks like you’re one of the annoying ones…” Said the man as he saw that Colt was able to block his kick, an annoyed expression forming on his face.

‘That kick was hard…I’m still feeling the blow in my arm…’ Colt thought, seeing his arm shaking slightly, ‘Even with the pill I’m not as strong as a true rank (D+) super, but at least it looks like we’re even…it’ll be hard to beat him though.’

Even though he thought that, for some reason, instead of feeling scared or having doubts about his victory, all he could feel was more of a desire to want to face the Wolf’s Fang member in front of him with all he got.

“What’s your name?” Colt asked, speaking for the first time.

“That’s none of your business.”

“Fine then…I’ll just have them identify your unconscious body when I get you back to base!” shouted Colt, again lunging forward to attack.

“I’d like to see you try, you bastard!” Replied the man preparing to counterattack, a vein visible on the side of his forehead, apparently what Colt said had upset him.

*BAM!*

From that moment on several small clashes took place, filling the surroundings with the noise of fists and kicks constantly clashing.

Although the Wolf’s Fang member had the physical superiority as he was faster and stronger than Colt, Colt wasn’t far behind either due to his great control of the surroundings thanks to “Territory” and compensating for his lack of strength with “Fire Fists”.

Without a doubt, they were tied, and it looked like they would remain that way for quite some time.

***

“U…urgh…”

At that moment, one of the Wolf’s Fang members that Colt had defeated, a 20 year old man with blonde hair started to wake up.

“…Ouch, f*ck, that guy hits hard…” He said, getting up and remembering what had happened before he lost consciousness as he grabbed his head, “…Haa, it seems that he’s gone…”

After looking around this dark commercial neighborhood a bit and not seeing the guy who defeated him, he calmed down a bit.

“Now then…where are those idiots…?”

The next problem was that he couldn’t see his other brothers, this seemed a little odd to him because he had been the last one to fall and he remembered that they had been close by.

He thought that maybe they had woken up earlier and started looking for them.

*BAM!*

However, at that moment, the sound of the battle between Colt and the Wolf’s Fang member was heard again.

The sound was coming from another neighborhood around the corner, so this man quickly rushed over there.

Reaching the corner, he poked his head around so he could see what was going on.

‘This…big brother!’ He thought, watching the fight between the guy who had defeated them and his older brother, ‘Although, it looks like he’s having trouble!’

After watching the battle for a bit, he realized that his brother needed a little help with the guy he was facing, so he started thinking about what he could do.

*Tak*

“!”

Right then, before he could put any plans into action, the sound of someone walking came from behind him.

He quickly turned, and that’s when he saw him, a man dressed entirely in black, with a hood hiding his face.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his head, that maybe…his brothers had not gone somewhere else on their own…but that this man had found them.

The next moment, he felt something wrap around his neck….and moments later, everything went dark for him again.
