Chapter 344
Gold, Silver, and Black.
“Well, you’re not cartel if you at least don’t have something coated like those… well… hot damn. If this doesn’t scream drug dealer, nothing will.” I said out loud.
There was a separate wall that contained what I thought were his favorite guns. The Black Section of the wall contained their original appearance but some of them have modifications already while the Silver and Gold Sections were pretty obvious once you saw it. One example was the silver and engraved Desert Eagle we saw earlier. There was an empty slot in the Silver Section where it was supposed to be. The only difference between the Silver and the Gold Section was that the Silver Section had additional engravings while the Gold Section was a pure coating of Titanium Nitride making it look like Gold.
It was properly coated and the metal parts were the ones coated obviously. However, if there were wood parts, a very meticulous engraving would be done to inlay gold or silver to make it pop. The furniture for some of the gun’s wooden parts was also replaced by better ones and engraved appropriately. Most of the designs were tribal but looking closely at some of them, a raven or a crow was always present.
“Well, Cuervo means raven or crow in their language, I might need to see his back tattoo to confirm what he really meant by that. They’re different from each other but we’ll soon know the answer.” I thought to myself.
The guns on display were a Colt Python, S&W Model 500, a Mosin Nagant, a Remington 700, a Marlin Model 36, a Desert Eagle, a Colt 1911, a Thompson A.K.A. “Tommy Gun”, an AK-47, an AR-15, and an RPG-7.
Even the magazines and a few rounds were coated in the Gold and Silver Section.
I took a look at everything on display but his sword collection was not here. I figured it would be in his own room or somewhere else entirely. I never touched the ones on display but I tidied up the ones that were scattered on the table.
I went back to where the three were and they were starting to push each other off the couch unconsciously so I had an idea. I decided to place our sleeping bags and a few blankets as a cushion on the wide platform where the pole was. After that, I lifted Kaley, careful not to wake her up and slowly placed her down to sleep more comfortably.
I saw Cynthia’s phone still not plugged in so I looked for an outlet to charge it with. I also took care of the glasses we and other cooking ware we used because it was in a pile in the faucet. My eyes were about to fall down so I decided to finally sleep.
I turned Mr. Cuervo’s PC and my laptop off along with the lights first before laying down next to Kaley. I covered ourselves with another blanket and I hugged her tight before I finally closed my eyes.
Everything that happened this day was too much so I quickly fell asleep.
I suddenly woke up in an unfamiliar yet familiar darkness and I heard familiar voices.
“Sora, you’re not the one at fault…”
“Sora-kun, please don’t do that again! We’re here for you…”
“Aho-Sora you’ll never beat me!!!”
“Haaaa~ how did you do that?!”
“Sora…”
“Don’t look at me!”
“Argh! Stop copying my…”
“Sora, before you leave…”
“Ah~ it means that it’s black and it could see everything clearly…”
“Of course, the moment it happens…”
“We’ll be there Sora-kun…”
“Aho-Sora! You better not croak before I…”
“Sora.”
“Why don’t you stay here instead… you like it here, right?”
“Sora…”
“Sora, these are for you… take care of them… okay?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
The familiar voices faded and I was slowly woken up by the fragrant smell of food cooking… well, mostly.
“Tatiana! You’re burning it!”
“What?! It’s toasted! TOASTED!”
“Black is not toasted! Give me that!”
“Why did we even woke up this early… my head hurts…”
“We need to cook for him at least you know!”
“Why? He’s clearly better than us three combined! Can we just suck his d.i.c.k or something in exchange?”
“Well, he already did something better yesterday even if he’s really tired, you know?”
“Tatiana! The eggs!”
“Oh F.U.C.K.I.N.G- f.u.c.k! I’ll just eat this burnt one!”
“What? No! You’ll get sick if you do that!”
“I’m feeling sick already… my head…”
“Why did we even decide to cook with four pans at the same time?!”
“It’s your idea!”
“Me?!”
“You said when he cooks, everything is happening simultaneously!”
“I thought it was easy!”
“Oh! I don’t remember my phone being charged… weird…”
“He must’ve done it for you…”
“The water! TATIANA THE WATER!!!”
“Oh god, we’re burning the water…”
“HAHAHAHA!!!”
I faintly smiled before I slowly got up. I saw the three making a mess of the kitchen I painstakingly cleaned yesterday before I slept. They still hadn’t noticed me but I saw what they were trying to cook. It was something of a combination of an English Breakfast but some components were swapped.
“Good morning, watch out for that egg, if you don’t remove it from the fire you wouldn’t be able to dip toast in the yolk.” I said while behind them.
“Oh! Morning! Nice… nice to see you…” Cynthia looked away, embarrassed.
“Morning chulo papi, haha, I’m learning a bit of Spanish now.” Tatiana chuckled.
“Morning! Tatiana- the-” Kaley was frantically cooking so I decided to help her. Cynthia was helping her but Tatiana was doing more damage than good. The first thing I did was adjust the fire for each pan because all of them were set to medium. Some need more while some need less. It’s all about the right balance though I lowered some of them just so I could finish cooking them at the same time.
Easily enough, we made a simple breakfast for ourselves. We ate happily though the sad one was Tatiana because she had the same portion as us. I had to make her my emergency meal which was cracking a raw egg on top of piping hot rice then adding a dash of soy sauce. She was shocked from how simple it was but she was smiling brightly when she took a bite.
“Hey, are you okay now?” Kaley asked.
“Want to know for sure?” I replied.
“You’re f.u.c.k.i.n.g us three now? Remember, we f.u.c.k.i.e.d you yesterday it’s out- Ack! Kaley!” Tatiana was attacked.
“That sounds like a great idea, I always work out in the morning while everyone was still asleep.” Cynthia replied.
“Asleep?” Kaley asked.
“Yeah, after each party like this, they usually woke up at noon or sometimes even later. Basically we have this whole place by ourselves.” Cynthia replied.
“That’s great, I hadn’t had the chance to go to the gym when we landed here.” I replied.
“We could train together if you want…” Cynthia glanced at me briefly.
“Sky, I know you’re a knucklehead at this so I’m gonna tell you that Cynthia likes you. Well, she likes me too but she likes you more.” Tatiana chuckled before glancing at Kaley.
“Well, I like her too, we’re friends.” I replied obliviously.
Kaley facepalmed.
“Told ya Cynthia, he’s a genius but he’s also an idiot.” Tatiana was shaking her head in amus.e.m.e.nt.
“…” Cynthia was shocked and was about to cry.
“What did I do?” I was confused.
“Cynthia, I’m sorry to say this but he’s mine and I’m his. We could play around but we’re basically married. That’s how it works. You could try to do something later but we’d never do anything unless we’re both present.” Kaley told Cynthia the situation before it got out of hand.
“I understand…” Cynthia replied
“She’s lying! She’s just trying to invite you to her hare- Ack! Why can’t I see your attacks today?! F.u.c.k this hangover…” Tatiana was chopped in the neck by Kaley’s hand
“Oh, is that so? I could be one, I like you too Kaley. You’re really nice…” Cynthia started to chuckle.
We finally finished eating and we changed clothes. We headed up to the gym and I started by running on the treadmill first. They also did their warmups but Tatiana vomited on the corner a few seconds in.
“I think I’ll take a seat first. I should be sleeping some more…” Tatiana was a bit pale.
I finished running 10 kilometers and I was about to head to the free weights when I saw the punching bags on the other side. A smile formed on my face as I went there first while my sweat was flowing down through my body. I was already in front of it but I made my knuckles and my neck crack first before attempting what debilitated me yesterday.
I walked back a few steps as I gauged the correct distance. I stepped in with my left foot pointing to the right and then I turned hard and raised my right leg. When I was about to complete the turn, I twisted my right knee before pushing it hard forward. My foot sprung violently before it connected to the punching bag.
*BOOOM*
The punching bag flew back even if it was the heaviest one and the chains rattled after it swung back. The sound f.u.c.k.i.n.g resounded to the whole gym and I felt the three was staring at me.
I had a nasty grin on my face because of how much power I’ve produced from that kick that injured me. My body was now fully recovered after eating a f.u.c.kton of food and getting a good night’s sleep.
However, I was not done.
I was planning on repeating the same move but I added a little something. I stepped back a bit more but I was in a different stance. Instead of being in the Orthodox Position, I needed to be in the Southpaw Position to add more spin to the move. A single step was added before the move but when my foot connected…
*BOOOOOOOOM*
The sound was f.u.c.k.i.n.g satisfying, I wailed on the punching bag immediately after. Kaley tried to try it next to me but I was like the guy on the range firing a .50 BMG with a muzzle brake. The winds I was creating and the torque I was producing was full power, she can’t get close. The chains were rattling violently each time I connected but there was a problem.
The motion before completing it to deliver a tremendous amount of power took a bit of preparation. I needed to judge the correct distance, the opponent’s counter, my body for openings, and a few others more. Not to mention the whole motion was too big and not compact like my usual moves. Everything needed to happen in one quick and fluid motion and it should connect or else the body would have a lot of openings after performing it.
To make the problem manageable, practice is always the key.
“Morning guys, you woke up early! I thought I was the only one training here but here you are.” I heard a voice and my smile grew wider and wider.
A wild Ilya appeared.
