Chapter 617 617: Look at You Getting Worked Up Again! The Stuff Must Be Really Pure
At this moment, the only two delinquents still standing nearby had already started trembling after realizing how terrifying Hikari was.
The two of them, with dragons and tigers tattooed on their arms and backs, were shaking all over as they looked at Hikari in fear.
But before they could even beg for mercy, they were knocked to the ground as well.
After taking down the whole group of delinquents, Hikari weighed the broom in his hand that had barely managed not to snap, then walked back over to Hayato and looked down at him from above.
Hayato had recovered a little awareness by now. Lying on the ground, the moment he met Hikari's gaze looking down at him, his body shivered.
"I… I was wrong! I was wrong… S-sorry!"
Hayato looked terrified as he stammered and begged Hikari for mercy.
Hikari wasn't surprised that Hayato could still speak and beg. For the sake of the next part of his plan, and also to avoid breaking the borrowed broom in his hand, he really had held back a little earlier.
He lifted his foot and stomped hard between Hayato's legs. After enjoying the blond delinquent's scream that sounded like his soul was being torn apart, only then did Hikari ask, "You brought this many people to block me and Yoshida Saki today. You weren't just trying to get revenge, right?"
Hayato, who had just become a eunuch had only just dragged his dazed mind back from hell when he heard Hikari's question. He immediately replied while trembling and stammering, "W-we really did want revenge for yesterday, b-but now I don't dare anymore, really… I really won't dare again… Please, please spare me…"
After hearing Hayato's words, Hikari continued, "You specifically brought people here, so it wasn't just revenge for yesterday's incident. What else were you planning? Talk now, or else…"
Hikari raised his foot again. Earlier, he had deliberately only crushed Hayato's left ball. This time, he aimed at the other side.
The moment Hayato noticed Hikari's movement, his whole body shook violently, and he hurriedly confessed, "W-we also wanted to squeeze some money out of you guys. Lately me and them haven't had money to buy powder anymore, so besides revenge, we also wanted to get some money to use!"
"B-but now I absolutely don't dare anymore. Really, you're my boss now. I won't disrespect you ever again!"
Hikari smiled after hearing Hayato's flattering words.
He knew Hayato still hadn't confessed everything.
Based on what he knew about delinquents addicted to drugs like Hayato, Hayato's original plan today was probably to corner him and Yoshida Saki first, then beat them up to vent his anger.
After that, he would use all kinds of methods to force Yoshida Saki into selling herself to make money for him so he could buy drugs.
But naturally, Hayato didn't dare say those dark thoughts out loud now. He was afraid Hikari would stomp him to death on the spot.
And Hikari had other plans too, so he didn't expose him either.
Instead, he asked with a curious expression, "Tell me, is using that stuff really that good?"
The moment Hayato saw the curiosity on Hikari's young and handsome face, he instantly judged that this young man had definitely never tried it before and was clearly curious. This was a chance.
"Boss! Boss, let me tell you, that stuff really feels amazing! Just a tiny bit and you'll feel like you're flying!"
"Every time you use it, it feels like going to heaven! That kind of pleasure is unmatched. Games and women aren't even worth mentioning compared to it!"
"Really! It's insanely good. Back then, when I—"
Even though his balls had just been crushed, the moment the topic turned to drugs, Hayato immediately became animated and started wildly praising it to Hikari like he was desperately trying to recommend it.
Seeing him talking as fast as tongue-twisting rap, Hikari kicked him once, "Don't rush. Talk slowly."
Hayato had been interrupted right when he was getting excited and even got kicked, but he didn't dare get angry. After calming himself, he grinned awkwardly and continued, "Back when I hadn't tried it yet, I also didn't believe that stuff could feel that good."
"But after my friend got me to try it some time ago, the feeling was unbelievable! Smoking, stickers, all that stuff before, it doesn't even compare!"
"Boss, that feeling is seriously amazing."
"If you don't believe me, I'll take you to try it. I know people. I'll treat it as an apology. I really want to let you experience heaven too!"
Thinking about the feeling of using the powder, Hayato looked excited even after just getting beaten up. He even raised his hand, trying to hug Hikari's leg while insisting on dragging him along too.
But before his dirty hand could touch Hikari's pant leg, Hikari smacked it away with the broom.
"Look at you getting worked up again," Hikari shook his head.
"I just really want you to try that feeling too, boss," Hayato laughed, worried Hikari would get angry and hit him again.
But what delighted him was that Hikari actually seemed convinced by what he said and even replied, "Alright. Hearing you talk about it, I really am a little curious about that feeling now. I want to try it."
"You know someone and know where to buy powder, right?"
Hearing Hikari's words, Hayato became happy and said excitedly, "Of course! I know a supplier. His stuff is incredibly pure! I've been buying from him lately. Just smelling it can make you feel amazing!"
"Boss, you want to try it too, right? I'll take you there right away!"
Seeing Hayato so excited, Hikari didn't agree immediately and only said, "Take me there first. I'll look at the goods before deciding."
"Okay!", Hayato had no objections at all to Hikari's words, because he believed that as long as Hikari saw the goods and tried even a tiny bit, he'd definitely become completely addicted and turn into one of them.
And with someone as strong as Hikari as his big boss, even joining gangs or violent groups would make it easy to rise up. Once someone powerful had his back, he could make more money. With money, he could keep enjoying that godlike pure stuff.
So even though the lower half of his body still hurt so much it felt numb, Hayato still forced himself to stand up so he could lead the way for Hikari.
While Hayato struggled to get up, Yoshida Saki, who had hidden to the side during the fight earlier, walked over to Hikari in small steps.
She had heard some of what Hayato said to Hikari just now, so she looked worried as she said, "Hikari-kun, these delinquents like to talk nonsense and trick people. You shouldn't easily believe what they say, right?"
"And the stuff he mentioned is really serious contraband, so… so maybe it's better not to try it?"
Yoshida Saki was socially anxious and timid and almost never tried persuading others, but right now she was too worried about Hikari, so she couldn't help speaking up.
Hikari smiled after hearing her concern, "It's fine. I'm just going to take a look first. I know what I'm doing, so Yoshida-san doesn't need to worry. I'll take you home first later too."
Yoshida Saki quickly shook her head, "N-no, I can go home by myself. It's not that I absolutely need Hikari-kun to take me home. I… I'm mainly worried about Hikari-kun."
"If Hikari-kun really decides to go there with this delinquent, t-then I'll go with Hikari-kun too."
Even though she was scared, Yoshida Saki clenched her small fists and spoke seriously to Hikari.
That was just how she was. Hikari had helped her several times already, and in Yoshida Saki's eyes, he really was a very, very good person.
So almost all her thoughts were focused on Hikari, and she was willing to accompany him no matter what he wanted to do.
Looking at the expression on Yoshida Saki's small face, Hikari understood her personality. And these matters involving Hayato were indeed tied closely to Yoshida Saki in terms of cause and effect.
So Hikari didn't refuse her and nodded instead, "Alright, then come with me."
After that, Hikari and Yoshida Saki stood there waiting for Hayato and the other delinquents who had just been beaten up by Hikari to recover enough to get back up.
At the same time, outside the alley, the gray-haired old woman stood beside the sanitation cart with a conflicted expression all over her wrinkled face.
In the end, she still felt she really couldn't ignore what had just happened.
The old woman pulled out a garbage shovel from the cart with her dry hands, raised it over her head, and suddenly charged toward the depths of the alley.
"Young man, I'll help you!"
The old woman forced her old legs and arms to run as fast as possible while shouting loudly to encourage herself.
But after slowly charging into the deeper part of the alley, the scene before her left her stunned.
Those arrogant delinquents covered in dragon and tiger tattoos were now all lying twisted across the ground groaning and whining.
Meanwhile, Hikari, the harmless-looking high school student they had forced into the alley earlier, was completely unharmed.
The scene wasn't hard to understand, but it was shocking.
"T-this…"
"All these bad guys were beaten down by you, young man?"
The old woman opened her mouth in shock. Her dentures and garbage shovel both fell onto the ground.
Hikari walked over, helped pick up the dentures, and handed them back together with the broom he had borrowed earlier. Smiling, he said, "Thank you for helping, but don't worry. I've handled everything already, so Grandma, you should go back to your work."
"Ah! O-okay…"
The sparse-haired old woman blankly took the dentures and broom, then turned and left in a daze.
Not long after the old woman left, Hayato and the other blond delinquents slowly climbed back up from the ground one after another.
After all, Hikari had held back earlier, and these were underworld delinquents, so their physiques were still decent.
"Let's go," Hikari looked at Hayato, who still clearly hadn't recovered from getting his balls crushed and was limping badly while walking.
"Yes!", Hayato answered immediately.
Even though his legs were still inconvenient and he wanted nothing more than to lie down immediately, Hayato didn't dare delay Hikari's request.
———
Under Hayato's lead, Hikari walked in the opposite direction from home. After walking for around ten minutes, they arrived in front of a small bar.
Standing outside the bar, which looked ordinary and didn't seem to have much business, Hikari turned to look at Hayato.
Meeting Hikari's gaze, Hayato shivered and hurriedly explained, "Y-you can buy the stuff inside."
"Hidden in plain sight, you know. This stuff is illegal, and the cops crack down hard on it, so it's not easy finding connections."
"But I guarantee the stuff is pure. As pure as it gets. Our cook is Heisenberg."
Hikari said nothing about Hayato's explanation and only replied, "Enough talk. Lead the way."
Hayato nodded repeatedly and pushed open the door first as he entered the bar.
Hikari and Yoshida Saki entered after him.
It still wasn't dark yet, so the seats inside the bar were empty without many customers.
Only a bald bartender sat behind the counter. His skin was dark, and his thick lips looked like two sausages hanging on his face. He wore a floral shirt with a thick gold chain around his neck, looking like someone nobody should mess with.
The moment the bald bartender saw Hayato, his expression instantly changed. He stood up and pointed at Hayato's nose while yelling, "Hayato, you bastard actually dared to come back here? When you took my goods on credit before, you said you'd pay me back soon, but it's already been days and you still haven't paid!"
"Did you gather the damn money yet? How dare you come here again? Don't tell me you're trying to get more on credit again?"
Seeing the bald bartender rolling up his sleeves like he was about to attack, Hayato quickly raised both hands and waved them while explaining, "Don't get mad! Mr. Obata, don't get mad yet, hear me out!"
Mr. Obata slammed a heavy punch onto the counter, making the glasses rattle loudly as he roared, "Hear your ass out! If you don't pay back what you owe for the goods today, I'll break your damn legs!"
"Look at you getting worked up again!", Hayato interrupted Mr. Obata and proudly said, "I haven't gathered enough money yet, but today I brought you a major client. You said before that introducing a big client could also cancel out the debt for the goods!"
After hearing Hayato's words, Mr. Obata's expression eased a little. His gaze moved away from Hayato and toward Hikari behind him.
But after looking Hikari and Yoshida Saki over, Mr. Obata slammed the table again in anger, "Hayato, you damn idiot! Two high school brats still wet behind the ears, and this is your major client?"
"They probably haven't even finished drinking milk yet. How the hell could they be major clients? You just dragged random people off the street trying to fool me, huh? I think you really want your arms and legs broken so you can go beg on the street!"
"Though… this guy doesn't look useful, but this girl looks pretty decent. Your woman?"
"If you let her work here selling herself and properly entertain customers every day, I can give you some goods every month."
The moment Mr. Obata dared talk about Hikari and Yoshida Saki like that, Hayato's face instantly turned pale, and cold sweat poured down as he hurriedly said, "Mr. Obata, what nonsense are you talking about? These are my boss and big sis!"
"I'm really not lying to you. My boss is seriously capable. He's definitely a major client!"
Mr. Obata clearly still didn't believe him, but at that moment, Hikari suddenly stepped forward, sat down on a stool at the counter, and casually tossed a stack of bills onto the counter.
"Bring out the goods and let me see if the quality is really as good as Hayato claims," Hikari looked directly into Mr. Obata's eyes and spoke calmly.
"You little brat still smelling like milk…", Seeing Hikari suddenly sit down and interrupt, the fierce-looking Mr. Obata instinctively prepared to explode in anger. But after seeing the thick stack of bills and Hikari's expressionless face, he immediately stopped himself, and his expression became serious.
As a bartender who also secretly sold powder, Mr. Obata knew how to judge people.
Although Hikari looked very young, and the money he took out wasn't an especially huge amount, for a high school student, it was definitely a lot.
And the sharp aura around Hikari made him take the situation seriously.
He had only felt this kind of overwhelming confidence before from certain important people he had occasionally met.
Based on his observation, Mr. Obata instantly came to a conclusion.
That drug addict Hayato had really stumbled into luck. The young man in front of him looked like a high school student, but his bearing alone was enough to show that his background was definitely either wealthy or powerful.
Definitely a major client. He absolutely had to build a good relationship with him.
Having already reached that conclusion, Mr. Obata not only didn't get angry at Hikari's expressionless attitude, but instead lowered his head and smiled respectfully.
"Okay! Okay!"
"Hayato's reputation is just too terrible, so I was a little biased against you earlier."
"I believe you're definitely a major client, a high-quality major client. I hope we can cooperate more in the future. The quality of my goods is absolutely among the best in all of Tokyo."
