Chapter 4: Being Determined
Some time later, Airon returned home and changed his clothes. Tonight there was a very lively party. He had given it a lot of thought and the only way to get money fast was to steal it, and no, it wasn't by robbing a bank or anything like that.
Turns out the phone he took from the guy in the black hoodie belonged to a gang that was recently making major moves in Atlanta, their work mainly focused on being the errand boys for criminal groups.
Sifting through the messages looking for anything valuable, Airon found a very interesting chat.
"[Weasel: Dove, the green grass will be received under the abandoned bridge in the out of the way place in Atlanta, this time you will go with the new guy]."
"[Airon Darcy: Just the two of us?]"
"[Weasel: We had already talked about it, you do the errand boy job and the money in your pockets won't be lacking, train the new boy]."]
"[Airon Darcy: Anything else?"]
"[Weasel: They will be more cautious this time, recently the Atlanta police are on their heels, they need to hide their green grass and us work]."
"[Weasel: Once you get the package, go to the shop and we will relocate it from that location. The new guy will be waiting for you on the street outside Martha's Laundromat]."
"[Airon Darcy: Got it.]"
"I never expected heaven to send me this easy money, I hope everything goes as I'm planning it."
That's right, Airon is a determined person with a clear mind. Having the intention to steal that money, he knew that the chances of dying were high but if he takes into account the profits he is willing to take that risk.
In this world, if he cannot survive that task, he has no chance in the future. Now, his confidence lies in his experience that he somehow gained and his self-confidence of course.
Generally speaking, if he cannot get money to secure safer plans, Airon did not know what to do in the future. Therefore, he was confident that he could do this and play a good role tonight.
After getting ready, Airon searched through his father's things for useful things and found a curved knife, enough to use if necessary.
Looking at his father, Airon sighed with a strange feeling, this man since his mother left him always drank, he vaguely remembered his father beating him for petty things.
"Where are you going you fucking bum?" Mr. Darcy asked.
Seeing that his father spoke to him, Airon said, "I'm going to work, we need money, don't we?"
Without another word, Airon left the house and walked towards the laundromat where he was supposed to be picked up. He honestly didn't know if his attire could fool the new guy, so it would be all over if he is identified as an imposter.
Some time later, a car pulled up to the side of Airon, the car window was opened, and a person inside said: "The weasel sent me, are you the one to teach me?"
"Yes, the weasel told me you were the new one, are you ready to teach you about the business?" Airon kept his mind cool, if the situation didn't convince him, he would definitely retire from this place.
"I'm ready to do it brother, I will learn well." Said the man with an enthusiastic smile.
Airon raised his eyebrows slightly surprised, he didn't know this would be so easy. Although his outfit was similar to what the boy in the black hoodie was wearing, he didn't know the process was so simple.
"I'll show you what you need, let's get going." As if it all came naturally, Airon climbed into the car.
On the way, the boy named Daniel asked him a lot about the business, although he had been given an introduction, he wanted to hear advice about more experienced people.
"You just have to stay calm, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked and don't put your feelings into this business." Airon evidently knew nothing about the business, even now he was wondering if it was a good idea to get involved in all this.
"I'd been told that." Daniel nodded with a serious look.
But still, Airon wanted to have everything prepared for the end of the world, his senses made him make decisions without much questioning the dangers. When he read about the money on that person's phone, it seemed like a prize of life for his dire situation.
After looking out over the landscape toward Atlanta, he knew that the long road to the rendezvous point was long. Therefore, he had to stay calm.
He still didn't know much about his fighting skills, the only thing he felt when he had a knife in his hand was that he could cut anything that was put in front of him. Besides, his strength wasn't weak at all but he felt it wasn't enough.
Looking through the phone, Airon discovered many things in the photographs that had been taken. The gang this idiot belonged to was terrible, they were not only involved with money laundering but also with drugs. This group of scum definitely needed a lesson.
"Looks like we got here before the others." Daniel turned off the car and then lit a cigarette. "I thought you were blacker, but it looks like you're not."
"I've been using a cream to lighten my skin lately, I'll recommend it to you once we're done with this." Airon said with a cold expression.
As the time waited, Airon silently looked at the very quiet place they were in, feeling a slight air of nostalgia.
"I wish everything could be so peaceful forever..."
"What did you say?" Daniel asked in bewilderment.
"Looks like they're already here, let's make this quick so we can get back and have an early dinner." Airon got out of the car and waited silently for the opposing side to show up.
A black van pulled up not far from where Airon and Daniel were standing, after a while, a brown skinned man got out and walked in their direction.
"Are you the weasel men?" He asked with a cold expression.
"Yes, that's us." Daniel replied casually and said, "We came for the package, it was pointed out to us that time is priority."
The man looked at Airon for a moment, spat spit spit on the floor and pulled out his phone, "Weasel, you sent two of your men?"
"You know this money is very important, you mustn't lose it."
"Yeah, I don't give a shit if you trust the people you sent, it's fine."
Airon watched all this in silence, no matter what he thinks now, he knows these men are dangerous and he had to act with extreme caution. But even if he was in a situation where he could lose his life in seconds, he felt no emotion, as if this did not influence him any kind of fear.
"Two brats who can barely wipe their snot, put the packs down!" the man shouted with slight anger.
The car parked in the distance slowly moved forward and two more people got out, from their expressions, it was obvious they were high as hell.
"Pop the trunk..."
Airon was acting normal, looking at the suitcases in total there were about six of them, walking towards the trunk he watched as everyone was arranging the backpacks carefully.
"Hey, check the backpacks and make sure everything is in order." Airon looked at the man standing in the distance.
"What do you want me to check?"
"There, it looks like one of the suitcases is open."
After saying that, the man approached with quick steps and Airon took the moment to plunge a knife into the man's throat.
"Slash!"
When Airon attacked this person, he felt nothing and quickly his next movements were natural. Without pausing, he attacked the other man who was drawing his gun with difficulty.
"You... You son of a bitch... You fucking traitor..."
In a matter of seconds, two men were killed, turning his head towards the remaining man left, Airon walked over matter-of-factly and said, "Well, looks like you're out of luck this day."
The man who watched as two of his companions were killed, looked at Airon and quickly pulled out a gun.
"Bang!"
"Cut!"
Just before he fired, Airon had run at the man and stabbed him several times in a row. The knife in his hands moved naturally, as if he was familiar with cutting flesh.
"Was it that easy?"
Thinking about what he had just done, Airon picked up a weapon from the ground and turned his head towards Daniel; he knew he had to eliminate the witnesses.
"Was that part of the plan?" Daniel looked at the men on the ground. His body began to shake as he saw what had just happened.
"I'm sorry Daniel, but I have to ensure my survival."
After saying that, Airon pulled the trigger and fired.
"Bang!"
Grabbing the suitcases in the trunk of the car, he returned to the black car and pulled them back up. Looking at the guns on the ground, Airon decided to take them.
In this world if you don't kill, you will be killed by these kinds of people. He knew he had to be a cold person and the faster he is familiar with that way of thinking, the easier it will be to survive in the future.
Seeing the corpses on the ground, Airon felt nothing and got into the car. He had to get out of this place before someone alerted the police to the sounds of gunfire.
When he started the car, he left the place quickly. Knowing how to take advantage of the situation and knowing the future, he would make very good use of the money that was gifted to him.
