"I don't want to play anymore."
Zenkichi reached up, plucked the bullet lodged between his eyebrows as if it were nothing, and glanced at the man before him. His voice was calm, almost playful.
"Since you've managed to hit me, I'll grant you a wish."
"What… what does that mean?" the third killer asked, his voice uneasy. He stared at Zenkichi with wariness, feeling the oppressive aura radiating from him. Instinct screamed at him to retreat, to stay far away from this man.
"Literally what I said," Zenkichi replied lightly, his lips curling into a faint smile. "I was only toying with you all, but one of you actually managed to land a hit. Consider it a little reward. Make a wish—something within reason. Don't waste my time with the impossible."
The killer's eyes widened. "Are you joking? Be serious!"
His voice cracked with a mixture of disbelief and anger. Never in his career had he imagined meeting such an opponent. The situation felt like a dream, too unreal to be true.
"What's wrong?" Zenkichi tilted his head, genuinely puzzled. He had expected the man to collapse with excitement or beg desperately for his life, not stand there questioning him.
But judging by the man's tone, he wasn't interested. Zenkichi sighed softly. "So you refuse? Very well… If you won't state a wish, then I'll fulfill one of my own."
In a blur, he vanished from where he stood and reappeared directly in front of the killer. Before the man could even register the movement, Zenkichi's fist slammed into his face with bone-shattering force.
The man's body flew backward violently, crashing to the ground. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. None of them had expected Zenkichi to unleash such raw, terrifying power without hesitation. Google seaʀᴄh 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Pathetic," Zenkichi muttered, dusting his hands together. "You can all come out now."
The remaining killers froze, unsure what he meant. But others understood—members of the so-called Revenge Alliance had been lurking nearby, waiting for their chance to strike.
The sound of footsteps echoed across the floor. Several figures emerged from the shadows, smirking as they approached. Their eyes locked onto the scene with a predator's amusement, each of them radiating confidence.
The killers shuddered. They hadn't expected reinforcements… but now, the atmosphere grew even heavier.
