All Strings Attached

Chapter 21

Bright who was still holding poor's man hair, gently scratched his temple with the pistol and looked sideway, watching his fellow dragging a fragile looking boy by his shirt.

"Hold on!" Bright yelled almost immediately and dropped his prey, walking over to his fellow. He held his hand and jerked it away, freeing the young boy.

He checked him for a moment before asking "You're okay?"

Win who looked terrified, gave a small nod. Gun glared at him and walked ahead but Bright pulled Win to the wall, trapping him from one side with his arm and gently tugged his hair behind his ear, whispering  " You mind waiting for me a little bit? I am kind of in the middle of my work"

"Bright what the hell!" Gun yelled, stomping his foot on ground but Bright gave him a deaf ear.

He carefully observed Win's expressions and continued " You're fine with this right?"

Both his action and voice was so soft. Win slowly shifted his eyes towards the helpless man crouching on floor and asked "He has taken your money and refused to give back?"

Bright gently blew air on Win's face, making him to shut his eyes. He smiled, his face was so close that his nose was almost touching Win's.

"Yes" He replied, his voice lively and excited.

Win nodded in response and Bright stared at Win's lips before pushing himself off of wall and turned back to his prey with demonic smile, pulling his sleeves up.

Meanwhile Gun kept his eyes on Win, trying to kill him with his gaze.

"What am I gonna do with you?" Bright asked, crouching down near him.

"Please let me go!" Man cried, touching Bright's feet but Bright pulled his foot up, stopping him.

"Na ah ah " He refused politely, pulling his feet back and suddenly stomped it on Diaz's hand hard, pressing it down "You are older than me. How can I let you touch my feet?"

Man shrieked loudly as he felt the bones of his hand being crushed. He tried to pull it back Bright let it go when he was satisfied and held his hair, raising his face up "Who do you take us for huh?"

"I will return all of your money with extra interest Please don't hurt me !" He cried, his nostrils flattering with fear, his face dirty with tears and dust.

Bright stared at his face with no expressions and muttered "Pathetic"

His fellow struggled in Mike's grip and yelled "Gunther could've make a smarter decision than sending his mad dog to get us!"

Gun punched him in his abdomen, making him bow down in pain and shut his mouth. Bright slightly turned his face towards him and gave him a wicked smile "You don't like me?" He asked, his hand gripping harder on the man's hair.

He cried in pain, grabbing Bright's attention.

Win gulped, his body pressed against the wall in fear.

"Let me go" He cried, causing Bright to frown slightly "Why did you ignore when Gunther sent you warning?"

"I didn't know they were your men!" He cried, his bruised hands joined together in plea "I swear I'll return all the money in 1 month"

"Month!?" Bright yelled, making the man as well as Win flinch in terror. Bright let go his hair and grabbed his face, clenching it.

"1 week.. 1 week" He changed his answer, his voice barely audible.
