Chapter 157 Messing Around With My Gang

[Charles POV]

Who knew controlling your gang member could be this satisfying? If you had enough strength, no one could mess with you. The hub we were in was a lawless zone. Unless you killed someone, you wouldn't receive any punishment.

The nonexisting police force had the people of this hub create their laws. While some followed them, not everyone would. With power being so dominant, those with power would be free to act how they like.

Now that my gang and I were walking down the street, everyone was intimidated by our group. You know something was happening when twenty men were walking down the streets.

Those who didn't want to be involved were staying clear. We weren't doing anything meaningful, but searching for things to do with these people was what I was here for.

"If any of you grunts beat this man up in public, I will give you this."

What I had in my hand were some useless artifacts. Well, to me, it was, anyways I showed it to them, and those interested would go up and do it.

As for the reason why I gave them this command? It was simple. I didn't like that scorn coming from the man's face. He needed to be taught a lesson.

And for the man in a black suit who heard what I said, he cursed himself for being unlucky.

"The one who hurts him the most without killing him would get it."

"Boss! I will beat the shit out of him! So keep it warm before I come back!"

"Don't listen to him. I will make his face unrecognizable!"

Excited by the prospect of claiming the prize, they all surrounded the man and had weapons out. The man wasn't scared of my gang, which meant he had enough strength to back up his confidence.

I could humiliate him now and crush his confidence, but where was fun when I could do it at the peak of the moment?

The fight was now underway. And his confidence could be found when he was holding out against my men in a fight.

One by one, my men fell into place. The audience couldn't help but be amazed by the person's strength.

Now that I think about it, won't my gang be underestimated by the people? But that probably won't matter when I'm done with him.

"Can't you guys do better? You're getting humiliated! Look at the crowd!"

I yelled out to my men. They knew the person was making light work of them. Seeing this, they went into full power, knowing they could kill this man.

Still, the outcome didn't change. My men were painfully injured, and I stood up to join their fight.

"Are you not afraid that I would do the same to your men?"

The man replied as I fully restored my injured men. All the wounds they received had now recovered like they weren't injured in the first place.

"Do you have time to think about me? It's time for round two."

I decapitated one of my men, which surprised everyone. When I put his head back, he touched his body repetitively and wondered if what he saw was real.

"I made you guys stronger. You won't have a hard time beating him."

If they were unkillable, their will to have revenge drastically increased. The man in black was now wary. He stared at me to see whether he would go for me.

"You could attack me. But you will also suffer the consequences when you do."

"Out of everyone, why did you pick me?"

"Is that your question? No reason. Your face pisses me off. Also, I wanted to beat someone up, that's all."

His eyes twitched in annoyance, finding my reason to beat him up was unreasonable. He immediately went through my men and went for me.

"I told you you would suffer if you went for me."

The kick to my face had almost landed when I froze him in midair. This wasn't intentional, as he was much faster than I was. If I had been any later, I would have been sent flying.

"How does it feel to have no control over your body?"

A wooden bat appeared out of my hand, and I smashed it on his legs. Unlike his body, his expression was still free.

The pain he felt must have been a lot when I repeatedly hit him with full power. In the end, I did light work out of the man, and the people who saw this thought I was crazy.

"Too bad none of you guys get the artifact. Maybe next time."

"Everyone!!! Today I'm recruiting people to be part of my gang!!! If anyone is interested, talk to Chris."

Chris was the previous boss of the gang. After I tortured him for hours, he finally cracked and is now working for me. I gave Chris the spotlight when I announced that we were recruiting.

This gang of mine was to see whether I could control power. Doing this on Earth was something I preferred not to do. At least not yet.

The hub was replaceable, unlike Earth. Even if I destroyed this part of the hub, it didn't matter in the end. Everyone would leave and go to the other million hubs that they could go.

Courtney, Reina, and Rose should be back home. Being with sweaty men all day didn't suit me. I had only been patrolling with my gang for an hour. I had enough fun for one day.

"I'm going back home. Tomorrow we will be doing something more exciting."

Without letting them voice out their opinion, I left the hub. When I searched around the house, only Nene was home.

"Welcome home Master~!"

Nene welcomed me back as he took care of the egg in her hand. I sensed something different about the egg. It was now brimming with life. It would hatch sooner or later. I wonder what monster would come out of the egg.
