Graph felt that what happened to him was so fast he couldn't brace himself. So fast that he was dazed for a full minute, wondering what was going on.
After the young man followed Panchai's man towards the vehicle parked outside the race venue, suddenly he felt someone rush up and lock him from behind. Before he could even open his mouth to cry out in shock, a heavy fist slammed into his stomach, making him slump to his knees on the ground. Both hands clutched his stomach in pain, coughing and gagging as if cold rice would shoot out of his throat. His eyes were blurred with tears.
"Hey! Don't you dare touch Khun Graph... Ugh! Mmph!" Meanwhile, Phîi Chai's man cried out, about to rush in to help, but another one of them appeared from behind and quickly clamped a cloth over his nose, making the driver's eyes widen. But reality wasn't a drama.
Thwack
The person who was clamped with the drug elbowed the attacker in the stomach, while preparing a fist to strike back, but...
"Stop! If you don't want this one's neck to have a hole!"
Thud
Before the driver could fight back, Graph felt a coldness pressed against his neck, along with a force pushing his face against the road surface. But the pain made his throat constrict, he didn't even have the strength to make a sound, apart from firmly clutching his own stomach.
The young man could only look out of the corner of his eye, seeing Pakin's man raising both hands in resignation.
And...
Thwack
"You shit-lizard!" The person who was elbowed punched back full force in the face, making the large-built man stagger and fall when his knee was kicked. Then the same cloth was clamped over his nose again. As soon as he struggled...
"I told you I'm not threatening!" The blade pressed deeper into his neck until Graph himself didn't dare move, even though his strength was starting to return. He could only watch as the two men ganged up to catch Pakin's man to clamp the drug, hoping only that someone would appear to help. But seeing the large-built man weakening, his eyes starting to droop, made fear flash into his heart.
Pakin, I didn't do anything! I didn't!
The one who thought only about how angry someone else would be that he had stuck his leg out to find trouble again, even though this time he didn't intentionally step into it.
Smack
"Hey, take it easy, will you? Don't forget whose child this is." "I don't care whose bloody fucking child he is! I only know that this nuisance youth made me get chewed out by Khun Gr!" Amid his fading consciousness, Graph recognized the name he heard from the mouth of the person who punched him. Moreover, he was dragged up by the scruff of his neck, until he gritted his teeth and looked up, which made memories from not long ago flash into his head.
It's the group that once chased to catch me!
"I told Khun Gr that this youth is important to that Pakin. See? Believe me now? He came to this event, and even has his people protecting him." "You, shut up and drag him to the vehicle quietly. Let Khun Gr decide later if he's important or not. Hey, you, run and tell Khun Gr we've got this youth. Quick, before that nuisance wakes up." One of them ordered, while nodding towards the driver who was still lying motionless, making another person run back towards the race venue. And that made Graph grunt.
Thwack
"Ouch! You nuisance youth!"
Thud
60
"Ugh!"
Graph swung one arm, hitting the face of the person holding his arm, which made him cry out. But how could a eightteen-year-old fight against a full-grown man with countless experiences? Because he was only stunned for a moment, but retaliated with a kick to the stomach that winded him, then made a move to charge in for more.
Smack
"You shit-lizard! I told you not to hurt the youth, there'll be trouble later! And you, quite feisty for your looks. Come here!" Graph tried to dig his feet into the road surface, but in reality, he had no strength to resist the other who dragged him further away from the race venue, along with the fear that was continuously mounting, until he let out a groan.
"Help... me... "
"Heh, probably no one can help you now. They're all at the venue." They said with a cheerful tone, as they dragged the young man by the scruff towards a large pickup truck with pitch-black tinted film. Then they opened the cab back, until Graph knew that if he was thrown in, his chance of escape was getting closer to zero.
"You're just bad luck for me."
Thud
Suddenly, the voice of someone with an extremely angry expression flashed into his head, and that was enough for Graphic to gather his strength and shout out.
"Help!! Someone help me!!! Ugh!!!"
"Hey, you shit-lizard youth!" Just shouting out, they slapped a hand over his lips, along with a growl in their throat. If they thought Graph would give up just like that...
Crunch
"Ouch!!! You nuisance youth!!!" The young man opened his mouth and didn't hesitate to bite down on its hand with full force, until the person who was bitten cried out, releasing the young man's body to fall to the ground, shaking his hand frantically as he shouted with hatred.
"I've had enough!"
At that moment, Graph could only shut his eyes tightly, both hands and feet curled into himself, an instinct for survival to shield himself while waiting for the new wave of pain that was about to happen. And this time, the one raised almost like a Khun-chai probably couldn't take it, but...
Thud... Thwack...
"Ouch! Who the hell are you!!!"
Suddenly, the sound of fighting erupted above his head, along with the feeling of wind passing over his face. He heard curses loud beside him, until he had to squint his eyes open to look in fear, and then Graph found that the one who was going to kick him was lying on the ground not far away, until he could only look up at the person who came to help. And that made him feel like he saw... a war god.
For some reason, he thought the mixed-race young man with greenish-blond hair who was dodging the other's punches gave that feeling. Perhaps it was the fierce eyes, the contemptuous smile, or even the dodging moves, before retaliating by... kicking the throat.
"Phîi Shin... "
"Thought I recognized someone's voice. Good thing I was suspicious and followed."
Yes, the person who came to help him at this moment was... Phîi Shin.
The one who, even though outnumbered two to one, still turned to wink at him, then turned to stomp on the chest of the one who was lying down counting stars. But at the moment he turned to focus on the other person, Graph's peripheral vision saw the one who had hit him in several places charging out again. But this time, a silver object reflected the streetlight, making him only shout loudly.
"Phîi, watch out!!!"
Crash!!!
No, the knife didn't stab anywhere on the man in front, making Graph's eyes widen in astonishment. But because Shin turned around in time, twisted the wrist holding the knife, that wasn't enough, the mixed-race youth... grabbed and threw.
Yes, everything was like he had seen in the movies... the body of the stout man was thrown to lie on the ground, and "Ugh!!!" Phîi Shin's foot stomped on the Adam's apple, making it thrash about no different from being splashed with hot water. Then the person Pakin liked turned to make eye contact.
"Safe and sound, right?"
"I... " The young man couldn't speak, could only sit still clutching his stomach on the road, while feeling someone helping him up, making him startle immensely, turning sharply to look behind.
"Phîi Payu." The one who was also looking at the greenish-blond-haired young man with disbelief.
"Oat never mentioned he was this good." The question made Shin laugh, then stomped his shoe on the Adam's apple of the person below again. Then he smiled... wickedly.
"Didn't Oat ever tell you what my family in Japan does?"
"No... and now I think I don't want to know." Even Graph himself didn't dare ask further, could only put his hand on Payu's shoulder as he asked in a faint voice.
"How did you find me?"
"Oh, I was afraid they weren't just coming in to cause trouble quietly, but were planning something sneaky, so I was watching the container. Shin was with me too. Then suddenly I saw one of them running towards the venue. I was just suspicious that there was trouble, but Shin ran out first. Almost couldn't find you, good thing I heard the shout." Payu said that, making Graph only able to turn to look at the face of the person he had been biased against, and could only say,
"Thank you, Phîi."
"This is nothing. But, Phîi Payu, take Graph to find Pakin. By now, he's probably close to going crazy."
No way.
The young man argued loudly in his heart. But the reality that he might be the one causing problems over there made him only say with an anxious tone,
"Phîi Payu, take me to find Pakin."
Even though he didn't think Pakin cared that much about him, at the very least... he didn't want to be a problem in that pair's eyes anymore.
***
An uncomfortable atmosphere spread throughout the temporary venue, until many people who didn't want trouble avoided leaving the event. While some still watched with interest to see what would happen, even though in their hearts they were apprehensive about Pakin's calm demeanor.
Something told them that this man wasn't as calm as he appeared on the outside, and it was unbelievably frightening.
"Because you warned me last time, I found out who that youth is. I've been meaning to apologize several times. It seems this time is a good opportunity to have a talk... shall we say, Khun Pakin?"
"... "
The listener remained silent, and that made Gr laugh in his throat with satisfaction.
"Oh, but I must ask your permission first, right? I heard you are that youth's guardian... Let me meet Khun Graph, Khun Pakin." The speaker said as if unaware of his subordinate's actions, meeting the icy cold eyes without fear, because he was confident that youth was in his grasp.
Last time he had made a mistake by not knowing who that juvenile-hellspawn was, but this time, he knew how important that young man was. The more he was the son of a famous politician, and even more interestingly, that youth had come under the care of his archenemy. So what could be more satisfying than slapping that Pakin's face for not being able to take care of just one youth?
If that youth disappears, the one with the problem is him, not me.
The long-standing relationship between the two families would be destroyed.
That youth might not be important to Pakin, but he was useful to Pakin, and that was enough.
When he was useful, he had to try every way to negotiate to get him back.
Only then... the person who remained silent and unresponsive until it was hard to guess his thoughts, Gr thought smugly, while looking at the one who had once said Graph was just a profitable asset!
The real one almost wanted to pull a gun and shoot the speaker dead on the spot.
For Pakin, he never allowed himself to be at a disadvantage. He wouldn't reveal his weakness to the enemy, because it was like committing suicide. Therefore, in most negotiations, he was often the one who held victory. But this time, the words his close aide whispered in his ear still echoed in his head, and it was enough to make him say this...
"I don't like beating around the bush. What do you want?"
The speaker knew he could act superior, could act indifferent to Graph, let them think that youth wasn't important and had no use to be threatened with. But that had to be in the case where he was under his protection, not not knowing what his current condition was. Because if he said the wrong thing even a little...
Shit-lizard!
Pakin cursed loudly in his heart, thinking of the recalcitrant youth who kept causing trouble for him. Even when he told him to wait in the vehicle properly, he still managed to create a situation!!
Can't you just stay still and quiet, Graph!
Meanwhile, Pakin's willingness to negotiate made the other pretend to widen his eyes, make a disbelieving face, but it was still provocative.
"What do you mean, what do I want? I just want to meet that youth, that's all."
The listener raised his hand to put in his pocket with a relaxed demeanor, but in reality, he hid a tightly clenched fist. Then he said in a low voice,
"Since you probably already know that youth is useful, don't you think we should negotiate a little?"
"Huh? Did you guys hear just now? Pakin still doesn't agree to negotiate with me. He's changed his mind." Gr turned to talk to his subordinates, making them laugh creepily, feeling satisfied on behalf of their boss who got payback. Before the speaker turned again, then raised a cunning smile.
"I think I've already stated my demands clearly." Having said that, he nodded towards Max, who also knew that his uncle's people were winning against the man known as undefeated.
The one who had never lost to anyone still suppressed all feelings inside, leaving only calm on the outside. If Win saw this, he would be the first to back away.
This wasn't about not feeling anything, but about boiling until he was about to erupt.
The intense anger that even his close Nong wouldn't dare provoke.
"Fine."
Thud
As soon as Pakin said it calmly, the laughter fell silent, replaced by every pair of eyes turning to look at once. Then the speaker nodded towards Max.
65
"If you want to come back, you can... "
"Bloody fucking hell!" The speaker didn't pay attention to the curse that erupted from Sai-fah behind him, while the younger twin was also seething, making a move as if he wanted to charge at the shit-lizards in front, but he knew that if he did that, what would happen to his disciple.
But everyone had to be silent when the venue owner continued.
"If you can defeat Oat."
Everyone at the venue fell completely silent, the kind where Max's eyes glinted, turning to look at the skilled racer with intense hatred.
"Deal... I won't lose to you, Oat!"
"Heh, you lost every time. The only time you win is when you ambush, right?" Sai-fah said with a contemptuous tone, the kind that made his close friend shake his head slowly as a warning to shut up, because Pakin wasn't finished negotiating yet, and he didn't want Sai-fah's love for his friend to cause a scene.
"Now this is a bit more negotiable." Meanwhile, Gr said with satisfaction, patting the son of his boss's friend on the shoulder twice, before moving forward as a sign that it wasn't over yet.
"Oh, one more thing, Khun Pakin. My boss heard you are about to have a big event. So he graciously will go to help you once. I hope you will accept this grace willingly." Even though Pakin was furious, it wasn't that his brain was malfunctioning. How could he not know what they wanted?
Hah, accept grace. You want to come until you tremble, but I didn't even invite you!
"This is just a small event. I didn't think to bother Khun Nop... "
"I've never tried with a man before either. What do you think it's like?"
Thud
You damned-animal!!!
The tall figure hadn't even finished speaking, the other retorted with words that made both hands clench into fists. If he had brought a gun, he would have blown its brains out. Because who would be so stupid as not to know which man he was talking about!
This time, even though Graph had the status of the son of a famous politician with overlapping interests, now there was no evidence that they were the ones who took him. Moreover, he was known to be under his care. If anything happened, he was the one with the problem.
But forget the problem for now, if that youth was still safe!
"Do you realize what you're playing with?" Suddenly, Pakin's tone changed. From being emotionless, it became chilling, which the listener could also feel, and Gr just realized that his archenemy was losing patience.
It was the first time he had seen Pakin express himself so clearly, and it was caused by that youth, too.
The thought made him wonder if it was just about benefits, or if there was something else more than that.
"I always know what I'm playing with. But it seems you more than anyone don't know who you're playing with." Gr retorted with a mocking smile, then reaffirmed his negotiation point.
"What about my boss, Khun Pakin?"
This was one of the few times someone like Pakin felt defeat.
Someone like you, Pakin, who considers yourself the law, but having to change the law because of one youth!
"To... "
"Phîi Pakin!!!"
At that moment, a call rang out from another direction, the kind that made everyone turn to look sharply. Only Pakin was still for a split second. Only his peripheral vision glanced, then turned back to stare at the other's face like a tiger not letting its prey out of sight. Only his heart knew that that youth was still safe.
"Looks like negotiation time is over."
Meanwhile, Gr himself widened his eyes in disbelief, then turned sharply to look at his subordinates who were shrinking back as if they knew that after this, it would explode. But he still composed himself in time, turned back to look at the face, and smiled wickedly.
"I think so too. But at the very least, I think I found out something good... Take good care of your youth." At the end of the sentence, Gr did no different from Pakin during their last encounter, stepped forward, whispered in a superior tone before pulling away. But before walking out of the venue, he still called out.
"Don't forget about Max, Khun Pakin. I hope you mean what you say."
They were gone, but Pakin still stood motionless in the same place, looking in the direction where only an empty road and several vehicles remained. The atmosphere around him was so terrifying that many people swallowed with difficulty, perceiving the anger emanating from that body in unison.
The one who had never lost, but had to be defeated because of a young man named Graph.
The youth who didn't dare to move closer likewise, could only stand still looking at the figure that slowly turned to look at him. Then walked straight towards him, making him quickly speak up to defend himself...
"Phîi, I... I didn't do anything... "
Whoosh
However, the venue owner walked right past him, saying only one word.
"Back!" Just that, nothing more, but it made the listener feel sweat dripping on his palms, and his two legs quickly followed even though fear gripped his heart.
***
This time, Pakin was very angry. Angrier than any other time, incomparable.
"Come here."
"P... Pakin."
As soon as the beautiful supercar sped to a stop in front of the main building, Pakin stepped out of the vehicle and even slammed the door shut with a loud crash, making the person who had been tense the whole way jump. Before he could even open the door to step out after him, the vehicle owner rushed in, pulled him out, then grabbed his wrist, making him only let out a trembling sound... from fear.
But the big man didn't care, his large hand exerting force to drag the young man whose legs had stiffened, forcing him to quickly follow, otherwise he would have been dragged along the ground.
Quickly. At the same time, Panchai, who had been driving behind, quickly parked and ran after his boss.
"Khun Pakin, this wasn't Khun Graph's fault. The one who was caught off guard letting them take Khun Graph was I... "
Thwack!!!
Suddenly, everyone in the beautiful mansion had to widen their eyes, cover their mouths almost too late, when the person leading turned back and used the back of his hand to slap his close aide's face with a loud sound. And it was strong enough for Chai to smell the metallic taste of blood filling his mouth, his face turned to the other side.
"Hey! Pakin, wait! I'm not at fault! I... " As soon as the big man finished speaking, the large hand exerted force to drag Graph, who could only stand still in shock, along the way, making the youth stammer out in a trembling voice, scared ever since he saw Phîi Chai get slapped until his face turned.
"I didn't go looking for trouble! They came and bothered me themselves. Phîi, you have to listen to me, Pakin!"
However, the one exerting force to drag him didn't listen to any words, besides pulling the young man along the way, while Graphic could only try to explain, not even knowing that the bedroom was right in front. As soon as he stepped in,
Slam!
Bang!!!
The slender body was thrown in, his back hitting the wall, followed by the sound of the door slamming shut. Graph could only frown in pain, trying to compose himself and look up to explain, but...
Bang!
Gasp!
Suddenly, a large hand slapped the wall beside his head with full force, making the young man jump, almost crying already. Because even though he had seen angry moods many times, this time it was more than every other time, so much that he didn't think he would listen to any words, until he could only raise his trembling eyes to meet, at the moment when a yell erupted.
"Did I tell you to wait in the vehicle or not!!!"
"I... "
"Why can't you do just this? Is my order too difficult for you? Just staying quietly in the vehicle, not causing trouble for me for one day, would it kill you, Graph? What's so difficult about it!!!" The young man yelled loudly, making the youth almost shrink in fear, could only shake his head, but couldn't speak to defend himself.
"How many times have you caused trouble for me? Just staying still, sitting quietly for an hour or two, following orders, is it such a burden? Why can't you do it? Why do you keep running towards trouble? Do you want to be a bad luck charm like this forever!!!"
Thud
The young man was almost crying already, especially hearing the words "bad luck charm" coming out of the other's mouth, but it was a fighting spirit that made him yell back.
"I'm not a bad luck charm!!! It's you who put that angel or whatever in the same place as me! You've slept with her, haven't you... .
"Stop acting like a child already, dammit!!!!"
Before Graph could finish speaking, a new wave of yelling erupted. And this time, the sharp eyes glinted even more, as if he now knew the reason why the youth who should have been sitting quietly in the vehicle was walking around for them to take and negotiate with. And the most despicable thing, someone like him had to yield to them because of this one nuisance youth!
"Have you ever opened your eyes to look around? Is this the time to be jealous and bring bad luck? See? Because of your stupidity alone, what are the consequences? If you had endured quietly for just a few dozen minutes, everything would have been over. But what is this madness? Do you want me to cut your legs off? So you'll stop sticking them in where they don't belong! And you still have the face to ask why I want to get involved with others? Because other people aren't stupid like this, that's why!!!"
Graph was also angry at being spoken to like this, but the fear was greater, and importantly, the sadness.
If he had stayed still as Pakin said, everything would have been without problems. Or was it true as he said... he was just a bad luck charm.
The one who caused endless problems for Pakin.
"I... I'm sorry."
The apology received an answer in the form of eyes as if there was fire in them. His lips moved as if to yell something at him, but Pakin swallowed everything, then just turned around.
Smack
"Whe... Where are you going?"
"Anywhere where I don't have to see your face." The attitude made Graph almost lunge to grab his arm, asking in a trembling voice, because he was even more afraid of this gaze... the gaze that said enough was enough.
Even though everything was going in a good direction, it might end because of one thoughtless action of his, until he could only say in a trembling voice.
"I'm sorry, Phîi. I'm sorry. Forgive me, please. I won't do this again."
"Let go."
"No! I won't let go. Pakin, I swear, if you tell me to wait, I won't be recalcitrant, won't disobey orders anymore. I will wait as you say... "
"I said let go, dammit!!!!" Pakin yelled again, because now he was too angry to look at this youth's face. And if he stayed just a few minutes longer, he would have destroyed him to pieces more than what those shit-lizards planned to do. But it seemed Graph himself still wouldn't give up, because the young man with brimming eyes quickly continued.
"I won't let go, Phîi... I'm sorry, I... will do anything. Forgive me... please... forgive me." The speaker said with a broken voice as if holding back sobs, both hands still gripping the other's arm tightly, until the one with burning anger in his heart turned back to make eye contact, the corner of his mouth lifting as if mocking.
"Anything? Do you have the capability or not?"
"I... I can do it! I can do it!!!"
The listener looked down at the young man in front of him for a moment. From thinking of going to find a quiet place to calm his mind, when the youth boasted that he could do anything, a terrifying smile appeared on his lips.
"If you think you can make me cool down, then do it."
Graph followed the hand of the person who pointed his thumb down, then had to widen his eyes when he saw the other hand of Pakin pulling down his pants zipper. His mouth almost complained already, if he hadn't looked up to encounter a mocking smile that a youth like him couldn't do it. And that made the one afraid of losing immediately drop to his knees.
"I... I can do it. I really can do it." Graphic mumbled, but almost startled when he saw what the big man did.
The big man who took his member out of his pants, said with a calm tone, but if you listened carefully, you would find violence in it, as if the anger hadn't subsided at all, until he only flinched and grabbed the hot shaft in his hand. And not knowing what to do, both hands just stroked it.
Smack
"Is your mouth only good for making excuses?" Suddenly, the large hand grabbed his chin, squeezing it tightly, making the young man tremble. Because that wasn't enough, Pakin also pushed his face down to find the hot tendon, until he quickly opened his mouth to receive it in.
"Go on, you said you could do it, right? Heh, can't even handle this much?"
The cold voice made the young man only tremble with trepidation, while his lips were receiving the hot shaft in, until he tried to lick it, to suck it, even though his eyes were burning hot, afraid the other would catch his heart.
"You're only good at causing trouble everywhere."
Swoosh
Gasp!
"Ugh! Hic! Ugh!"
Graph almost choked, but couldn't do anything when his chin was held firmly, while the large part pushed in deep until his throat. Both uncomfortable, both unable to breathe, both fearful, and moreover, the mocking gaze that looked as if he was just a problem that should be eliminated, just a boastful youth who couldn't do as he said, making his eyes burn even hotter.
"More. Ugh, ugh."
Even if he tried to death, the expression and face of Pakin didn't change at all. On the contrary, it was he who felt like he was about to die. Partly because he was unfamiliar with the large part that was thrusting in, another part was the fear of something he had never known.
Pakin might have been violent before, but he had never looked at him with a gaze like a stranger like this.
"Ugh." And that made large teardrops flow down his cheeks. Both hands gripped the other's thighs tightly, while his body was shaking more with sobs.
The tears that Pakin looked at the youth who couldn't handle it as his boastful mouth said.
"More. Ugh... ugh... "
It stopped moving, and that made the tall figure push his body in again, as if punishing him, making Graph almost lose his breath because he couldn't breathe, only his eyes looking up through tears.
Whoosh
Then Pakin withdrew his body, looked at the person who dropped down to sit exhausted, both coughing and crying, then said with a calm, cold voice.
"If you can't do it, then don't say so from the beginning."
Swoosh
As soon as he saw the gaze in front of him, Graph could only use the back of his hand to wipe his face, then his two legs took himself rushing to the other direction, slamming the door shut with a bang, as if escaping the cold gaze that gripped his heart, making him tremble with fear.
It's over, right? Everything I tried to do is over, right?
"I'm just a problem... just... hic... a... hic... problem."
Then, the sound of the boastful young man's heartbreaking crying echoed throughout the large bathroom.
