YM778.TV Chapter 492
‘Can’t swim my ass.’ I thought to myself.
Even if she was struggling to stay afloat, she definitely knew how to keep her head above the water.
‘I guess her body was just hurting after the beating she received and the vertical suplex I performed on her… it would be a while before the cold sets in though…’ I thought to myself.

“HELP~!!! GllBrrFGH~ HELP~!!!” the woman shouted as started to call for help.
As she was screaming while trying to stay afloat, I was watching the reactions of the prisoners that were trembling in front of me. I was wearing a blank face without any sort of emotion the whole time I was watching them but I noticed one of them stealing glances at the edge where I threw the woman in the water.
‘He’s close to her or something then?’ I thought to myself.
The guy was of average height but like the others, he was also on the skinnier side. His hair was long and fuzzy and I could see the same identifying tattoos that they all share in different parts of their bodies. The only thing that sets him apart from all the others was the large earring that he was wearing along with a tongue piercing I spotted each time he would breathe with his mouth due to a broken nose.
“You know… she would eventually drown or just die of cold if we let her just like that, right?” I mentioned in front of them.
Almost all of their reactions were the same but there was a look of worry and concern from the guy I spotted earlier. He was also the first one to turn his head to look at me before retracting his gaze and looking back at the ledge. He was also listening for the sounds the woman was making and he was doing a bad job of hiding what he was thinking through his actions.
“If anyone wants to save her, better tell me the other places your gang or your other allies are occupying. You guys are probably scattered around in this city, right?” I stated.
“W-We already told t-them everything! Please! I-” the guy spoke out loud but I immediately cut him off.
“You guys already did? Cool, then it’s easier now. Tell me everything you told them the second time and if any sort of detail was f.u.c.k.i.n.g different, I’ll- we’ll see what happens next.” I stared at him with a glint in my eye.
“I- she’s- p-please! L-Let me t-throw her a r-rope or something first! P-Please! She’s gonna d-drown any minute!” the guy immediately negotiated with a pleading look.
“Hmm, that’s funny.” I instantly chuckled.
“H-Huh?” the guy was confused, looking at my expression change for the first time.
“Do you honestly think that each one of you here would leave this place alive? I don’t know the whole story but I could already tell that you fought with the president’s troops and failed miserably. You guys managed to take down some of his men but you failed to take everyone down.” I crouched in front of him to look him straight in the eye.
He was speechless, the same way as the others huddled behind him, but I grabbed a few feet of rope I spotted beside a few crates and threw it in front of him. The woman I threw in the water was still pleading to be saved but the guy I am speaking to was now just staring blankly into the rope I threw by his feet.
“We’re g-gonna die…?” the guy muttered, still staring at the rope by this feet.
“Yeah, unless…” I trailed.
“U-Unless?” the guy raised his head to look at me.
The rest of the prisoners heard me as well but all they could do was stare at me and figure out whether I was really extending an olive branch or I was just playing with them. My simple statement made him forget about the woman he was trying to save earlier but it wasn’t my concern as of now. I wanted more information than what they’ve given the president earlier and I’m gonna f.u.c.k.i.n.g squeeze everything from them.
“It’s not 100% but as long as you’re deemed useful, you’ll be kept alive indefinitely.” I replied with a serious expression.
“H-How- A-Are you r-really- can y-you g-guaran-” the guy was about to ask more but another prisoner stood up with a furious expression.
“THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!” the guy shouted at the top of his lungs.
I was actually surprised he managed to courageously do that even after a few beatings but he stood his ground even if the rest of the prisoners were trying to pull him down.
Out of all of them, he was the one that received the most beatings. His shirt was all torn up and had absorbed the blood that came out of his mouth and nose while his face was all swollen up. However, you could see that he had snapped from the deranged look on his face and he seemed to want to go down swinging.
“F.U.C.K OFF YOU BASTARDS!!! WE WERE F.U.C.K.I.N.G HERE FIRST!!! WHO THE F.U.C.K TOLD ALL OF YOU THAT YOU COULD JUST WALTZ IN WITH YOUR SH.I.P.S, Y-YOUR HELICOPTERS, AND YOUR GUNS THEN TAKE EVERYTHING WE WORKED HARD FOR, HUH?! TELL ME!!! IS IT JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE THE F.U.C.K.I.N.G PRESIDENT?! HUH?! I F.U.C.K.I.N.G VOTED FOR YOU AND THIS IS WHAT YOU F.U.C.K.I.N.G DO TO US?! KILL US IF YOU’RE GONNA F.U.C.K.I.N.G KILL US!!! DON’T F.U.C.K.I.N.G PLAY WITH OUR LIVES AS IF WE HAVEN’T SUFFERED ENOUGH!!!” the guy roared.
The rest of his cohorts were somehow roused with his little speech but I wouldn’t let them anchor the conversation. I was just beginning to make them dance into my palm and one foolish act of bravery wouldn’t stop me. Aside from that, glancing at the president, Oscar, Matthew, and Iskoh, the guy was definitely telling me a different version of what went down.
“Okay, wish granted.” I said before a small glint appeared before his eyes.
“Hu-” was all that came out of him before his head rolled over the edge.
Screams and gasps followed when what was left of his body flopped to the floor. A pool of blood started to form beneath the body but a small trail of blood followed right behind the head that rolled over. I heard a small plop when the head reached the water and when I looked down, the woman who was previously struggling to stay afloat managed to get ahold of a wooden plank and stay on top of the water.
She was safe for now but it would be ugly when the cold started to seep into her body after being submerged in the water for too long. Aside from that, she was stuck in place because a few soldiers were watching her, waiting with their guns pointed right at her head.
‘That’s why she got quiet…’ I thought to myself as I turned around once more.
“If you’re gonna waste our time and follow your ‘patriot’, be my guest. I’ll cut you down the same way and throw you in the water so the fish could have some food at least. Like I said, if you’re deemed useful, you’ll ‘maybe’ have a second chance at life. However, don’t start doing the same shit you’ve done that got you in this situation in the first place. You guys don’t get to complain whether we or your ‘enemy’ brought guns or whatnot to a f.u.c.k.i.n.g fight.” I said, letting the blood on my blade fall off slowly.
They were either looking at me or looking down with a pained expression. A few still had that light in their eyes that told me that they still wanted to live but the majority were already dimming down when the realization that they wouldn’t be in charge of their lives anymore.
“If I remember correctly, this is survival of the fittest, right? I think you guys are familiar with that concept and I don’t need to explain more. Also, don’t give me the reason that you got here first because what matters in the end is who would be standing here last. Being first here doesn’t grant you immunity from the rest of the world, it’s just a simple privilege that you had to take advantage of. It’s not like you would return everything you took from the people who were working here if they asked it back, right? In short, you lost. Don’t cry and bitch about it telling us it wasn’t fair.” I casually explained, finally wiping the blood off my blade and then placing it back in the scabbard.
