Ch. 29
(POV:Neko)
"I still can't believe that you figured that out." said Nemu.
"When you fight people in life or death situations, their eyes can be the biggest clues. I think that had we met Yamada in different circumstances, we would have become friends. Now. We need to get moving on the plan." I said. She nodded.
(POV:Neko)
"All right, they are coming around the corner now." said Nemu into my earpiece. I immediately pulled out the earpiece and hung up the call, stuffing it in my pocket. 30 seconds later, a black sedan with tinted windows pulled around the corner. This was most undoubtedly the most dangerous part of the plan. If I angered them too much, things could get physical, while if I didn't anger them enough they wouldn't take the bait.
"Here goes nothing." I said to myself. I slipped my hand into my pocket, where my pocket knife was. I wasn't going unarmed. No way in bloody hell. The car pulled to a stop and 2 men got out, heading straight towards me. When they were 5 meters out, I spun in a 180, catching the men by surprise.
"That is far enough, I should think." I called. They continued for 4 meters before stopping.
"Kid. Listen close, because I am only gonna say this once. Get the hell out of this town. This country. Scarm if you know what is good for you." he then made as though to turn, however, I stopped that real quick, as I emitted a light chuckle.
"I doubt that Raku and his henchmen could even come close to landing a blow." I said in a lofty tone.
"Ohh ya?!" the man next to him yelled, and slammed the glass of the shop next to me, cracking it. I lifted an eyebrow, and then almost casually, planted my palm into the glass. However, the force behind it was much more than it appeared, and the glass shattered to the ground.
"Gee, can't even properly break a window. Talk about a weakling." I said. The man went red as a tomato.
"W-We could kick your sorry ass in anything! I swear it." This took me by surprise. This was easier than I thought. A suspicion cropped up in my head, but I ignored it.
"Hmm. Alright. 5 days from now, I expect to see a challenger at the bottom of the World tree in ALO at noon." I said.
"We are not stupid to just walk into your trap kid! Don't bother." the first man said.
"Hmm, weird, because I just heard him swear on it. And on top of that, I have a recording. If I see no challenger in 5 days, I will assume you submit. Now then, I must be on my way." With that , I walked away. However, the suspicion in my head was all to present. I subconsciously started walking faster.
(POV:Raku)
"Sir, he challenged us to a battle in ALO, just as you thought he would. We have made the arrangements with the managers of the game. Anything else?" said the servant.
"Contact Yamada and tell him to station his character at the world tree. Also, create 15 accounts and get them to the world tree. I want to have some spectator accounts at the ready." I said. The man bowed and left the room. This was perfect. Aki was falling right into my trap. I could already see his face off shock when he lost, and his horror at losing.
"This is going to be good." I said to myself.
