Chapter 34: Unsatisfied
Chapter 34: Unsatisfied
"Move!" Jin pushed his way ahead of the swarm of people who were blocking his path.
Honestly, Jin worried that he might fail this task. Despite his skills, he had never fought and protected someone simultaneously. Therefore he chose to run just now along with Rachael.
However, fighting was inevitable as the men were gaining ground on him. Being indecisive longer would only prove detrimental to him therefore Jin finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Let's do that," He muttered as he rushed with Rachael in tow towards the nearest store. It was a clothes store. The store's walls were made of concrete but the door was made of glass.
Jin opened the door and pushed Rachael inside.
"If you don't want to get caught, stay inside!" Jin's voice entered Rachael's ears and by the time she turned around to reply, she saw that the door was already closed and Jin's back-view was the only thing she could see through the door.
The eyes of the men following them developed a gleam of delight when they noticed that Jin had stopped running. They increased their pace and a few moments later Jin was surrounded by the four of them.
"You got nowhere else to run now. Hand over the girl and we won't make things difficult for you." A man who seemed to be their leader stepped forward and said.
Rachael could see and hear what was happening on the other side of the door. Her body once again started shivering from fear and tears started trickling down her eyes. She could only watch the events unfold now with fear and uncertainty.
"You got it wrong..." Jin muttered.
"What do you mean?" The man frowned and asked.
"I've stopped not because I got nowhere to run but because I don't need to run anymore," Jin finished and took a fighting stance the moment he did.
A furious glint flashed in the man's eyes, "Fine! If you want to die so badly, so be it!"
The man rushed towards Jin as he pulled out a knife which was hidden in his clothes.
"Sadly, it's too late for regrets," The man smiled ferociously and attacked Jin.
"No!" Rachael's horrified scream came from behind when she saw the knife in the man's hands.
Jin's expression was calm. The appearance of the knife didn't scare him. Now that he was no longer concerned about Rachael he could fully devote himself to the fight.
He moved.
Jin's left hand struck the man's wrist and with his right hand, Jin took the knife out of the man's hand.
With the knife gone fear took over the man as he tried to retreat but it was too late. The butt of the knife smashed the man's temples and knocked him down. The next moment he collapsed on the ground.
The other three men's eyes widened in shock and were replaced by fury the next moment. All of them pulled out the knife and rushed like frenzied dogs towards Jin's lonely figure.
Jin was more than just confident in dealing with them. Moreover, a sense of excitement spread over him from the moment he grabbed hold of the knife.
He had not been practising the knowledge he gained from the 'Knife fighting techniques' he bought from the store earlier therefore every cell in his body became excited at the thought of finally being able to put the knowledge into practice.
The men soon arrived and Jin's body moved.
He started with a defensive stance rather than an attacking one. The three men attacked simultaneously from three different directions forcing Jin to not only deflect the knives but also keep on moving his body to dodge the attacks.
Rachael was crying out for help all this while but everyone inside and outside the store did not dare to approach the fighting figures. They were too afraid to get involved in a knife fight.
The three men kept on attacking Jin.
A thrust towards the chest,
A slash at the shoulders,
A stab aimed at the heart,
Jin kept on evading and defending the attacks by parrying and dodging their attacks. A crazed look of excitement started taking form on Jin's face. He was getting drunk on this feeling.
When the drunkness reached a certain level Jin stopped dodging completely and focused all his attention on parrying the attacks with his own blade.
'Is this guy crazy?' The exact thought rang in all three of their minds but they didn't stop and continued to attack him relentlessly. They thought that Jin was on his last leg and they were going to win in a matter of time.
However, they soon realized that this speculation from their side was utterly wrong.
'A monster...'
That was the only thought that appeared in their eyes as they looked at monsters parrying almost all their attacks. The occasional cuts and wounds which were successfully inflicted upon him didn't seem to affect him in any manner which further made the men doubt their eyes.
'More More Give me more!' Jin however was on cloud nine. The occasional pangs of pain which he felt only served to further fuel his excitement and he started gaining momentum over the three men.
The people observing the fighting couldn't believe their eyes. A single man was starting to overpower three other men in a knife fight.
"STOP THEM!" An authoritative voice came from behind which attracted the three men's attention.
"Shit, Their backup is here! Run!" One of the men said. Without a second thought, they all distanced themselves from Jin and ran for their lives leaving a confused Jin behind who soon recovered from his state.
Looking at the escaping men Jin clicked his tongue in annoyance as he muttered in a voice filled with frustration, "Just when I was about to reach the climax..."
A few men rushed to prevent the three men from escaping while the others reached Jin.
"Thank you, William! If not for you something unthinkable might have happened to our young miss," The man said gratefully. Seeing the wounds all over Jin's body the man told someone to accompany Jin to the hospital and then proceeded to take Rachael back home.
