Chapter 52: Fight
Chapter 52: Fight
However the kid on his leg remained there, as David smiled and shoke his head. With a gentle pull. He separated the kid from him then squated down to his level.
"Go and meet your mother, if you want food stay there" David said before turning away and focusing on the trunk of the car
Out of fear, the kid too ran to him mother. David saw this and couldn't blame the child. He didn't know how to exactly handle children well.
However choosing to ignore that, he immediately began to pull out the bags containing the food from the trunk. The first bag was immediately carried to the woman that the child had ran towards.
"I doubt this will help much in your situation but this should at least help get rid of the hunger for now" David said as he handed over the bag.
"Ahoga1, Thank you oo" the woman said as the others in the area began to gather
Seeing that David was giving out food, a whole new round of chaos began as the people began shouting and dragging him all over the place just to get theirs.
"Hey!!, hey!! Hey!!"
David heard several shouts which immediately dwarved all the other sounds. Turning to the source, he saw them, the young men whose age range was probably from 18 to 25.
Their shouts immediately brought order to the place as the women and their children created a path as they came forward.
[Sir are you sure, you don't want to rethink your stance on the paramilitary]
"Get me a compound" David answered looking at the boys.
Normally he would say that they were just good citizens who saw him in trouble and decided to help but he wasn't born yesterday.
These were the local boys, thugs or as Nigerians call them 'Agbero'. The people didn't separate from him or create a path because they wanted to or just wanted to obey.
No, it was because they knew these men and what they could do. Ten ouf of ten times when a parent tells their kid that the streets aren't safe, this was the type of people they were referring to.
As for why he agreed to Nous's question on the paramilitary, that was simply because he had long since rethought that plan and he only disagreed to initially because of the guilt, he wouldn't feel guilty if these ones died... Even they themselves didn't value their lives.
"Oga mi2, you came here and you didn't even try to greet the boys first" One of the thugs said as he danced all around the place.
It was as though his body could just stay at a spot. Following him the others tried to open the trunk but David simply placed his hand on it
"Ah, shey this your boot don dey get problem" one of them as they continued trying to lift it. "Would you get your hands off it, even if you run these streets, you should have learnt by now that respect is mandatory when meeting someone new" David said
"Ayemi3, this guy is mad oo, a whole me, crusher, the number one in these streets" the thug said
Watching them as they hailed themselves, David simply stood. It didn't matter what they did, they had no way of beating him.
Within the next few seconds, David saw one of them break a bottle on their head as the women and their children immediately shifted back.
They wanted no part in this and it was understandable so he didn't blame them but David still stood his ground, his heart beating even faster than normal.
It wasn't fear, it was excitement, he wanted to see what he could do. Who wouldn't, he just entered a whole new realm of power, of course he wanted to see it in action.
[Sir still be careful, no direct hits or forceful holds or you will break them] Nous reminded
"I know" David replied as he faced his first attacker with a smile now on his face
The thug lounged forwards with the broken bottle in hand, aiming for a stab but unfortunately, David saw him moving at an incredibly slow pace.
It was as though time seemed to have slowed down by about a minute or so. Easily parrying the thug's hand, he grabbed hold of his shirt and threw him against the car with a little force.
Turns out that lifting a grown man took way let effemort than he expected. Seeing this interaction, everyone in the area immediately gasped in shock.
"Jesus!!"
"Omo" na army man we go jam"
David heard several people shout as the man slowly rolled off the car to reveal a large dent in its hood. This immediately sent shock into their hearts as quiet reigned through the streets.
"If you still want to continue this fight, you can come along so I can bash your head in, if not, stand and help me distribute this" David commanded as he felt some sort of oppressive aura leave his body
"Yes sir!!" The rest of the thugs shouted
They may have long since desensitized themselves but they weren't stupid. It was clear to them that their opponent was not a normal man so they quickly respected themselves.
Of course, David had nothing to do with the Nigerian military but unfortunately for them, he couldn't tell them otherwise because it worked to his favor.
With that the group helped him distribute the food he brought to the women and a few men who were begging by the streets.
About thirty minutes later, David was standing before the boys and beside them were a few young men, he found lying on the street as well.
This set of people either had their arms amputated or something similar. He had distributed the food to all of them and many of them had eaten despite criticizing the food greatly.
Of course, David had denied cooking the food rather he said he had bought it whilst coming. The driver who heard him simply chuckled while trying his best to fix the huge dent in his car. "Where is the boy, I beat up?" David asked
...
1. Oga means Boss, however we depending on the context, it could mean what it actually does
or it could be a way to call someone
2. Mi mean My or Me, so 'Oga Mi' means 'My boss'
3. Aye mi means My life, mostly used for exclamation
4. Omo means Child but it is also a meaningless slang to express oneself e.g, Omo I am tired.
