All Strings Attached

Chapter 21

"What do we do now?" Mike asked and Bright turned his face towards him for a moment meanwhile the scared man blinked hurriedly and saw the pistol tugged around Bright's jeans band.

He immediately snatched it and hit it at Bright's hand hard, freeing himself.

Bright gritted his teeth as he felt the hard metal hitting his hand. Diaz stood up with unsteady legs and held Bright's gun , aiming at him with shaky hands.

"Don't move or I'll shoot you!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. There was sweat on his forehead and he was shaking with fear. It was clear he was not used to of holding guns and could shoot anyone to save his own life.

He glared at Bright while his grip on the weapon tightened.

"You disgusting animal!" He yelled at Bright "You think you can beat me how ever you like?"

He said, his voice slowly getting confidence. He saw everyone around him standing stunned. He sure had made a very brave move!

" You are nothing but an unwanted son of a whore ! Gunther's mad dog!" He yelled for everyone around him to hear. His finger firmly went to rest on trigger as his eyes glared at Bright with so much hate in them "Die now!!"

Bright kept crouching down on ground with an emotionless face. He bit his lips and slowly looked up , into that man's eyes and his lips curved in a smile, soon exposing his sharp teeth.

Merely his smile was enough to give other person chills . Bright slowly put his hand in his jacket and took out gun's bullet magazine.

Man's face went pale as he slowly turned the weapon and saw it was indeed empty!

Bright calmly stood up, patting his jeans to remove any dust. Poor man threw the empty gun down when he realised his days were over. He glanced around and saw Win standing in the corner like a scared kitten, with his tail tugged between his legs.

He immediately ran to him and fell into his feet, crying like a beggar for his life

"Please save me !" He cried, pulling Win's leg "Ask him to stop ! He will surely listen to you!"

Win got startled and had no idea how to deal with this situation. Bright immediately came and dragged the crying person away, his shrieks hurting Win's ear and mind.

"Bright!" He softly called and gently grabbed Bright's arm, successfully getting his attention "Um.. Is.. Is it possible to be a little gentle with him?"

The victim hopefully looked at Win when Gun gritted his teeth and came forth " Can you stop being a pain in the ass?"

Win immediately held himself back. Bright sighed and came closer to him, patting his head "You don't know these people. I have to deal with them this way"

"Have mercy !" Diaz shouted again, making Win look at him sympathetically. Bright threw a kick at him and scolded "I am in the middle of a conversation here"

"How about you try asking them a little more gently" Win tried again, his voice low and cautious.

Bright slid his tongue over his molar teeth and nodded, tugging his gun back into his jeans bands and gently pulled Win ahead.

"You try talking to him" He said and pushed Win ahead, right in front of the injured wailing man.

Win stumbled but immediately got on steady legs, all eyes now on him.
