Chapter 2 – All for a Sandwich
Girl (thinking): "Who the hell is that guy…?
Whatever… I don't have time to think right now… better use the chance to run."
The girl tries to run, but one of the thugs notices her.
Thug 3: "Hey, where do you think you're going, sweetheart?"
Girl: "Let me go, you damn gorilla!"
The girl tries to punch him, but he grabs her and holds her tight.
Haytaka: "Hey, you pieces of shit… thanks to you my lunch is ruined… actually, my whole damn day is ruined. Now you're gonna pay me for it."
Thug 1: "You gotta be kidding, right?"
Thug 1: "Buddy, you don't know what kind of shit you've just walked into. Better back off unless you wanna end up dead."
Haytaka: "No, pal… it's you who doesn't know who you've messed with. No one gets between me and my food, got it?"
Thug 2: "You're just some asshole sticking his nose into our business… you're making me laugh, hahahaha."
Thug 3: "Hey, maybe he wants to die for that damn sandwich!"
Haytaka: "Get your wallets ready, assholes, 'cause I'm taking every single cent you've got."
Thug: "You're the one who's gonna end up dead, motherfucker! You should've minded your own business, now you're gonna get wrecked."
Haytaka: "Dead? Ahahah… the three of you together don't even make up 1% of me.
You're just trash living off scraps… worthless scum, only good for dirtying my shoes."
Haytaka: "So I'll give you one last chance—hand over the cash right now, or I'll shove those burgers up your asses, clear?"
Thug 1 (furious): "What did you just say, you piece of shit?!"
Thug 2: "How dare you mock us, bastard!"
Thug 3: "Let's deal with you first, asshole, so next time you'll learn not to meddle in things that don't concern you."
The three rush at him. The first throws a straight punch, but Haytaka sidesteps and drives a knee into his stomach, then smashes a fist into his face. The thug doubles over, coughing.
Thug: "Ah… ah… fuck…"
Haytaka: "And the first one… is done."
The second tries a high kick, but Haytaka blocks it with his forearm and shoves him into a dumpster. He then drives a kick straight into his gut and follows up with a brutal punch to the face, slamming him against a wall and breaking it.
Girl (thinking): "Eh… hahahaha… thank god this guy showed up… otherwise I'd really be screwed."
Haytaka: "And the second one… is done."
Girl: "Who the hell is this guy… he's incredible…"
Thug 3: "YOU PIECE OF SHIT, YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!!"
The third tries to grab him from behind, but Haytaka reacts instantly: he spins around and smashes a fist right into his face, blood spraying from his nose. He then grabs him by the neck and slams his head violently into the ground, finishing with a crushing punch to the face.
Haytaka: "And the third one… is taken care of."
Girl: "Unbelievable… he just wiped out all three of them with ridiculous ease…"
The girl, shocked, tries to speak to him.
Girl: "Eh… hey… you…"
But suddenly…
The three thugs get back up together, furious.
Haytaka: "Interesting… you're tougher than I thought. Impressive."
Thug 2: "Nice moves, man… respect."
Thug 3: "But now it's our turn."
Thug 1: "Look what you've done to me… I'm bleeding all over… how dare you…"
Haytaka: "Listen… I don't feel like wasting more time on you. So here's the deal: you give me money for my hamburgers, and you get the fuck out. Deal?"
Thugs: "DIE, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!"
The three attack him together—punches, kicks, shoves. But Haytaka blocks, dodges, and counters with brutal, surgical precision.
A left hook shatters the first thug's jaw, followed by a devastating kick.
The second goes for a sneak attack, but a sharp elbow from Haytaka breaks his rhythm—Haytaka kicks him in the face, breaking his nose, then grabs him and slams him to the ground, shattering ribs and bones.
Thug 2: "Damn it…"
A front kick smashes the third into a wall, breaking it completely.
Haytaka: "Man, the world is full of idiots…"
Girl (thinking): "I… I can't believe this…"
Haytaka has effortlessly dropped the two thugs, but the leader—the first one—refuses to stay down.
Thug 1: "Hahaha… you're strong, man, really strong. I'll admit it—you're good, very good. But let's see if you can handle this… hahahah!"
The thug's hands begin to glow with strange energy. His eyes light up with a pale brown shine, and mud around him begins to stir.
Girl: "W-What the hell… the mud… it's changing…"
The thug shapes the mud into humanoid figures. The girl stares in horror, but Haytaka doesn't look surprised at all.
Haytaka (yawning): "Aaaaaaah… how boring…"
Girl: "What the hell is going on…?"
Thug 1: "Let's see if you can stop this, asshole!"
The mud-men charge at Haytaka. But he's ready.
From his pocket, he pulls out a small metal rod. In seconds, it extends into a massive 2-meter-long staff, with a crescent-shaped tip and talismans dangling at the ends.
With a single strike to the ground, Haytaka shakes the earth and shatters all the mud-men. Then, moving at incredible speed, he rushes the last thug and smashes him across the face with devastating force, knocking him out cold.
Haytaka: "And the last one… dealt with."
Within seconds, the asphalt is stained with blood and the thugs lie completely KO.
Haytaka plants a foot on one of their chests.
Haytaka: "Now give me your money… think of it as a tax for ruining my lunch."
Haytaka: "No one touches my food and gets away with it. Next time… I'll kill you."
Haytaka: "Ah… damn… maybe I went a little overboard…"
Haytaka: "Hey… wake up… nothing, still out cold."
Haytaka: "Shit… this really isn't my lucky day."
The girl, still in shock, keeps staring, trying to process what just happened.
Haytaka crouched down and rummaged through the pockets of the three unconscious thugs.
With a satisfied grin, he pulled out a few crumpled bills.
Haytaka: "Ahahah… look at this… not only did I beat the crap out of you, but you even paid for my lunch!
Thanks for the donation, losers… next time bring some extra change, burgers aren't exactly cheap."
