Zhu Kang silently stood as the gunned men rushed into the small bank. They closed the shutter trapping everyone inside.
Dazedly, he glanced around. Everyone was on their knees with their heads down. 'What now? A robbery?! What is this messed up world? Why can't I have a peaceful life?!!'
"Kang?" the man sitting there calmly smirked at him. "Why don't you break open the vault for us?"
'This villain! This was all part of his plan! Ah, I hate this nameless man. I have to deflect this somehow,'
"ha.. haha very funny...very funny... you are twisting my leg huh?" he sat down next to him patting his back. "Take the cash,"
The man leaned closer, bringing his disgusting smell of smoke closer. "Yeah, go take them out of the vault. It's said to be unbreakable. But Not for you zee, not for you," he whispered.
Kang froze. Looking at the man's face he realized one truth.
'They never wanted the money in the first place...'
'They want me back... back in snakehead gang. First, they have to break down the reputation he had built as a normal person. No wonder.. No wonder he came along so peaceful when led him to the bank. Fuck... I'm so fucked. Gwyn.... anyone what to do...'
"What are you waiting for? Go on then?" he whispered ever so softly.
Kang peered at him. 'If I do this everything will end... the people in here will definitely testify about my identity.... I can't do it,"
"No I won't do it," he stood his ground, refusing it firmly. "You can't make me..."
The man's expression shifted to malice in just a second. "I can't make you? Aww Zee, let me convince you otherwise." He silently gestured to one of the men.
The gunner caught the little kid in his hold tightly.
Zhu Kang's heart started to pound loudly in his ears. "let go of him. He is innocent." He coldly whispered.
"Why should I? This is me convincing you. Zee, there are seven chances for you to be convinced." He pointed to everyone who was squatting down on the ground.
Kang stood stiffly not showing any signs of weakness. If he begged or showed even a minute change in expression, this man will definitely use it to his advantage.. "Listen... I'm not a part of you guys. Why should I do this?"
"It's our new boss's order. What can we do?" he shrugged.
Kang glared down at him. "I'll go meet your boss and talk it out,"
"No time, we gave you month zee. You could have come to us. But you didn't. This is the repayment. Do the heist and leave. We don't care about money anymore,"
Zhu Kang could not hold his anger anymore. 'What to do now? This bastard won't leave me alone now? I'm pretty sure they plan to tarnish my name and my identity. Fuckers, why do they have to ruin my perfect life? Gwyn, my brother, come save this pitiful soul,' he cried internally.
But on the outside, he sternly glared at the man.
"Looks like you need to be convinced a bit more..." he gestured to the men.
"ahhh!" The kid cried as the man nudged the gun to his head.
"Please let go of him. He is a child. Sir please please..." his parents cried begging on the knees.
Kang felt his whole body tremble.
"Why are you begging me for? Beg him," the man maliciously glanced his way. "Zee, do you want the boy alive or not? Didn't he just give you candy? Be sweet and help out the boy, will you?"
The couple went to their knees, grabbing his pant leg. "Sir! Please, sir.. He is our only son. Please save him. please..." the child's mother sobbed painfully.
'Shit! Fuck this all! Fuck this life! Fuck villainy,'
Gritting his teeth, he nodded. "I'll do it. Just... just let go of the kid and everyone in here."
"That's the spirit~" the man got up spreading his arms wide. "Now get to work,"
Zhu Kang slowly moved towards the vault that was hidden behind the counter. "Just the vault, right? If you want the money send the others out,"
The man paused for a second. "You're making demands zee? You aren't in the position to demand anything. You are the one in our grace,'
"It's not a demand.... it's a request. I will get you the money... let them go," his eyes subtly fell on the kid. He was crying silently with his eyes closed.
"No one has to get hurt. If anyone does it will attract the heroes. We don't want any trouble, right?"
This seemed to have changed the man's mind. The villain gestured for the men to clear the humans from there.
Kang let out a silent sigh. Everyone was sent out except the kid. "What is the meaning of this?"
"This kid is here to convince you to do a good job~ chop chop Zee, we ain't got long," he smirked picking the kid onto his arms.
Gritting his teeth, Zhu Kang walked over to the vault. It looked like a steel vault with a combination lock. He punched the door once. A huge dent formed on it. He punched it again and again until a small hole formed on the surface.
Right then, a huge bang was heard outside. The ground trembled slightly. A bright light shone through the windows.
'Gwyn, my darling brother is that you? Are you here?' he hopefully looked out the window.
The villains vigilantly glanced at the closed shutter with their guns held high.
the metal shutter melted away and the bright light entered the small bank. A white-clothed figure crouched down and entered the small entryway. "You really like getting into trouble, don't you.."
A familiar voice whispered.
Literal tears formed in his eyes. 'ah Aaron Zain! You are my savior! Come save this damsel in distress! Wait....'
'These villains know that I'm a villain. And...' he was presently standing there with a hand inside the bank vault.
Aaron's bright blue eyes peered his way intensely.
'Fuck! I'm caught! I have to scoot!!'
