The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

Chapter 9: Unexpected Thing

There was a huge commotion outside the restaurant... Or rather called the sushi shop.

BRUGH!!!

A man bounced and hit the table beside them with his back. Emma’s eyes grew bigger. She immediately turned her head towards the source of the commotion, which was from the entrance. Seen several men in black leather jackets passing by, some carrying wooden blocks and baseball bats.

“Wa.. what is happening?” Rina asked scared.

“Shit! It’s big bad luck! We have to get out of here.” Lary quickly stood up from his seat. He pushed Brian who was sitting on the outside of the seat.

“F*ck!” Brian cursed, noticing a man with a baseball bat walking in.

“EVERYBODY GET OUT!” The man shouted, swinging his bat at the ornate liquor bottle rack beside him until it shattered.

.....

Poppy and Rina screamed in fear while protecting their heads with their arms. Donny motioned for them to follow him out. Meanwhile, things seemed to be getting worse.

Emma, ??who was confused about what was happening, began to realize how many youths there were. But she immediately shook off that thought, so she could be more focused on saving herself. Or rather said, avoiding the problem.

As soon as she was about to reach for the exit, out of the corner of her eye, Emma realized something was flying towards them a full speed. It was a wooden chair. Emma quickly dodged while protecting her head with both arms. Luckily the chair flew a little higher above their heads. Emma sighed in relief. But she was quite surprised, when she realized that Donny was protecting her.

Emma stared in wonder at his masculine face, which was now quite close to hers. And she felt like throwing up when Donny gave her a pretentious, cheesy playboy look. Emma immediately straightened her body to shift Donny to get out of the way. “Thank you..”

Not yet finished her words, something more surprising actually made Emma gape. Poppy stood beside Donny. What made Emma uncomfortable was.. why was this man protecting her instead of his own girlfriend? He indeed was a Jerk. From the start, Emma had read that Donny was a playboy who pretended to been looked cool. But besides that, Emma smiled warmly to find that there was an unexpected manly figure.

He was the loser, Roger. The guy who was shorter than the other men was apparently willing to run from his rear position to protect Poppy who was standing in the front.

Poppy realized that her boyfriend was protecting Emma, ??who was obviously much prettier and cooler than her. But she just kept it quiet and thanked Roger who was immediately embarrassed by his cheeks. Maybe that guy didn’t expect that his courage would suddenly appear like that. In fact, the previous flying chair was closer to Poppy than Emma.

When they finally exited the door of the shop, they could see the riots were happening on Jen Marrie Street. It looked like the street was been attacked by a group of gangsters. They destroyed all the entertainment venues along the way. Dragging the people inside to get out. Beating anyone blindly.

“Crazy! What is going on in this town?!” Emma muttered as she followed the quick steps of the three damn men who brought her here.

“I.. that.. Damn group. Da.. dammit.. why should they?” Donny stepped back. His face turned deathly pale. He continued to stare at the black jackets with a punch logo that wore by a group of men who were on their way out.

Unfortunately, one of the men turned his head. The man narrowed his eyes, then... bam! He seemed to recognize Donny’s face.

“Oh! You’re their courier!” Said the man.

“N..no. No. Y..you’re wrong!” Donny said.

In that position, Emma and her three new friends looked like ignorant fools. Meanwhile.. In the blink of eyes, Donny, Lary, and Brian had run away from them. Leaving that four fools.

Without any command, the group of men immediately chased the three losers. Emma gulped down her saliva which felt like a handful of pebbles through her throat. She glanced at the few remaining gangsters, who were staring at them, grinning widely. “Those losers actually have a taste.” hit one of them.

“We have to run now. When I count to three, run immediately. Then follow me.” Emma whispered with her eyes kept staring at the five men in front of her. Her friends nodded in understanding.

“You’re cute too..” They drew closer.

“THREE!” Emma shouted.

Emma ran as fast as she could. Still, occasionally looked back to make sure none of her friends was left behind. She could no longer pass through the dark alley they had passed to enter this road. Fortunately, Emma’s eyes, which had been trained, were quite sharp. She turned her head to the right and found an alley that was a gap between two shops.

“There!” She pointed to the alley.

Emma got into the sewer-smelling gap first. The alley was quite narrow, but she kept running tirelessly. Her stamina was above the average, even when compared to men’s. She had stamina on par with an athlete.

On their run down through the narrow alley.. Brugh! Poppy fell because the heels on her shoes were broken.

“Gosh! Emma! Wait!” Rina shouted as she immediately helped Poppy assisted by Roger.

Emma turned her back to see what was happening. “Tsk! Damn it!” She cursed.

While the others were busy helping Poppy, she saw a ladder at the end of the alley and climbed it up to the next street. Her brows furrowed as she faintly heard the chattering sounds of several men.

As slowly as possible, Emma continued to climb the stairs and pressed her body against the wall. She peeked from behind the unpainted wall.

“Gosh...” She sighed, hiding behind the wall again.

There were three men in the same jacket as the gangsters, chatting while smoking cigarettes. Emma simply remembered their faces. She remembered the faces of the group of men who were chasing Donny and his two assholes. It seemed they managed to escape from the gangsters.

Emma came back down the stairs to check on her three friends. It turned out that they were still trying to carry Poppy, who was already limped. There was no way they could pass safely.

“Damn it! Why do I have to do this? Ugh.. should I do it instead?” Emma mumbled worriedly. “Whatever!” she said when she saw a glass bottle of liquor that was on the edge of the wall.

She raised the collar of her turtle neck, long enough to cover half of her face, up to her nose. Then she threw the bottle straight at the head of one of the men with force. The bottle instantly shattered on his bald head.

“Headshots!” Emma said as she ran towards them.

The other two men then turned around with their hands intent on swinging their bat. But Emma was already flying through the sky like a ninja and her foot kicked one of the men in the chest, causing him to fall backwards. Emma landed in a crouched position, immediately grabbed the man’s bat that had fallen to the ground.

The man who had not been injured, did not expect a woman to attack them. He immediately swung his wooden block at Emma’s head. But the girl quickly dodged and swung her leg to swipe off the man’s leg until he fell sideways. After that, Emma swung the block that was in her hand.

Thump! Bugh! Thump!

“Emma! Help us!” Rina looked at Emma who appeared from behind the wall above the stairs.
