Chapter 147 The First Fight - Break Thou Hand
?
When the guy reached near Rio, his gaze scanned him up, looking through all the jewelry he could slide and steal before those 2 partners notice something.
Rio on the other hand, seeing the greedy look on his face, wanted to smile.
Even if he did nothing, and just stood as a statue, the artifacts on him could do their job and not let any one of them put even a hand on them, now he lowkey wanted to see the reaction of this guy, when he realizes he can't steal anything from him.
"Just follow me and don't try to scream or run, it won't end well for you." Damur said, after fixing the things he would steal.
His target was simple, the golden ring on his hand, though as an unawakened he couldn't feel the mana, so he can't be sure which ring is a normal one and which is inscribed with runes or mana, and is functioning as a storage ring. But looking at the great details and patterns of the ring, he decided to take a gamble on that.
If Rio knew, this guy was eyeing the ring given to him by Artemis herself, which she made by her own hands. He really wouldn't be able to control his amusement and burst out laughing.
But he didn't know that.
While the man was eyeing the accessories, he was busy looking at the man himself. From the way he walked, to the way he carried himself. His way of talking, his confidence or arrogance, his muscles or weight, his speed or strength - his eyes trying to see through everything as best he could.
After training with freaks like Luke or Myra and Esme, he had gotten a little better at reading people by their body language.
His time of earth also played a part in his guesses, as there was a phase where he simply just wanted to beat others and get beaten up, just so he could clear his head from all the things it started thinking up.
Anger and pain - were the best distraction that worked well on a human mind after all.
Rio's thoughts stopped, and his gaze finally met the guy who was now glaring at him, as he said -"Didn't you hear, I said to just follow me."
Damor shouted, looking annoyed at the 2 kids. One of them silently stood there lost in dreams, while the other was even more audacious who had her ears covered by some kind of kids toy. And was just standing there.
"Won't you tell us why?" Rio asked.
His words got the attention of the goon on him "There's no why, just follow me, if you don't want anything bad to happen to you" He said.
"What if I don't want to?" Rio replied, with a nonchalant tone. Clearly showing he either didn't understand his threat, or was not taking him seriously at all.
Damor smiled at his words, like he came across someone stupid.
"Can't you see there's no one around to save you. Hell, even if you scream now, no one would come to rescue you. So stop blabbering and come here."
He said, as he went forward to grab his shoulder and drag him away.
His hands held the collar of Rio's shirt as he tried to move towards Ayla, who finally had her eyes turned towards this direction, instead of looking at the empty house.
The sight confused Ayla about what was happening -who were these people? When did they come? Are they here to help look for her father too? But why is that man holding the nice boy's clothes like that?
Her questions were running wildly in her little head, and she decided to take the earmuffs to hear what that man was shouting, while walking towards her angrily.
" _ _ This fool. See how she's looking at everything now. Just wait, I'll teach you and your father ___ arghhhh "
Damur, who was cursing the little girl and her father, suddenly stopped speaking and screamed in pain loudly catching everyone off guard.
Ayla had her eyes widened as she looked at Rio twisting the arm of that man. His short stature gave him the advantage where he kept turning around and twisting his hand even more.
"No need to talk like that with little kids, is it?" Rio said, as he took one more turn while twisting his hand even more, making him fall to his knees.
"Argg you bastard, what are you doing? I'll kick your ass you motherfucking moron." Damor shouted loudly, while trying to free his right hand, by cursing and calling his friends and slapping Rio's hands with his free left hand.
Sadly for him, he wasn't a lefty.
In simple terms, his left hand was just flailing around him, without any strength behind it.
But still Rio gave his hand another forceful twist, his full sleeve shirt almost getting torn with the force.
-arghhhh- Damor shouted as he now started slapping the ground, unable to take the pain.
Ignoring his painful screams, Rio turned his attention back towards Ayla, who was still looking at him with surprised expression and wide mouth.
"Didn't I say to keep your ears covered. Why'd you take them off?" He said, signaling towards her hands which held the earmuffs he himself gave her, so she wouldn't hear what was happening inside and outside.
"But _ "
"No buts, wear them. Or I won't help you look for your father." Rio said, and smiled as he saw Ayla's little face getting pale at his words, while in a hurry she covered her ears again.
"Well, now that that's done, let's focus back on you huh."
Rio said, with a smile turning his focus back on Damor, whose eyes were getting a little red, as his tears started coming out.
Rio looked at the 2 goons who were coming towards him, he turned his face towards them and when they were finally a few feet away from him.
He gave a last twist to Damor's hands with a swift fastness, only stopping when a cracking sound from his shoulders was heard.
Instead of letting go after his hand was dislocated from the shoulder, Rio pulled the hand straight and gave a kick to his elbow, eliciting an even cracking sound, followed by an even louder scream from Damor.
-cccrack-
-arghhaaaaaa
The sound of his bone's breaking was heard by his friends who finally reached near him.
Rio, after kicking his hand, breaking it from both his shoulder and elbow joint, took a few steps back, as he decided to let the friends have their moment first.
Damor looked at his limp hand hanging, while the excruciating pain continuously kept assaulting his mind.
His shoulders started swelling a bit, while his elbow bone sticking out from his skin, as some blood kept trickling down his hands.
'One down, two to go'
Rio thought after incapacitating the first guy.
He was ignoring the notifications from the gods that started coming nonstop again. The constant stream of messages burying the first one notification sent by Nyx.
But Rio didn't even look at the panel, as he turned his attention towards Damur's friends who were now glaring at him.
