Virtual Sword God! 82 Scum

Although Dan had charged into the group of people recklessly, that didn't mean he had no plan. He could clearly see that many of them had weapons on them. The ones with sharp objects like knives or machetes mainly stayed at the back of the group.

It was fine attacking other gang members with these type of weapons as the police didn't really care for gangs killing gangs but it was different if a student was involved. Dan knew this and knew; he didn't have to worry about them so much.

The person closest to him was a large man with a baseball bat. When Dan got close the man gave a wide swing. This was similar to a hook in boxing, Dan ducked avoiding the bat's strike and barged into the man with his shoulder.

Dan then used all the strength of his legs to push the man back as far as he could. The idea would be that Dan would use the man as cover from the other gang members while reaching for Scarlett and getting her out of there quickly.

But the large man was stronger than Dan thought. It was different compared to fighting kids. The barge managed to move the man back a few steps but that was all. Dan saw this and straight away changed his tactic giving a hook to his side.

The strike was so powerful it caused the man to fall over.

"A liver blow!" Tony said as he was surprised at Dan's skills.

The next person to the right of Dan gave a strike with a stick but just like in the VSW games, Dan parried the stick to the side with the palm of his hand then threw a strong right counterblow.

But while Dan's back was turned, he was. .h.i.t from behind by a stick. Dan stumbled but didn't fall over. He knew he couldn't, he was the only one able to save Scarlett right now. Dan then spun around and gave a back fist.

The fight continued on like this, with Dan hitting one person and getting a hit back. After a while, Dan's entire body was covered in bruises. Tony watching the whole thing was amazed that Dan was still able to stand up.

Tony then got off from the back wall and started to walk over towards where Dan was.

"A boy like you doesn't deserve to be beaten by sc.u.m like this," Tony said.

As soon as Tony moved forward, the other gang members stepped back to let him through.

Dan's vision was blurry so he couldn't see very well but when he looked up, now he could only see one person in front of him. Dan didn't know how many people he had taken out or how much damage he had caused to the gang members.

His mind was the only thing that kept him going and now that he could only see one person in front of him, he thought he had a true chance to save Scarlett.

Tony motioned Dan to come forward with his fingers and that's exactly what Dan did. Dan threw a jab at Tony's head but the attack was too slow, Tony then used both of his hands to grab Dan just behind the neck and pulled his body forward, as he did, Tony lifted his knee hitting Dan directly in the face.

Dan's head flung backwards in the air along with his body. Just before his head hit the hard-solid ground Tony managed to catch him and placed him on the ground peacefully. Dan was completely knocked out.

Tony was a professional Muay Thai fighter from Thailand. He had been hired by the Ruman family and had been working with them for the last ten years or so. Tony had only decided to intervene because he didn't want someone as skilful at fighting as Dan, to end his carrier or life here.

Tony knew that Dan was too strong for these members, their attacks were too weak to knock out someone as strong-willed as Dan, so then he decided there was only one thing he could do to save Dan and that was to knock him out himself in one blow.

In the end, the fifteen gang members that were in the room had been brought down to 10. This number included Tony and Rob. It was impressive for a boy Dan's age and not only that but Dan was completely on his own.

Scarlett having witnessed everything that happened couldn't stop crying. She not only feared for her own life but now also Dan who wasn't moving on the floor.

"What do you us to do with him boss?" One of the gang members closest to Dan said to Rob.

"Put him on his front."

The two men did as they were told and laid Dan on the ground on his belly, with his two hands spread out.

"Judging by your tears, it seems we were right. You really do know this person." Rob said. "Well, it's time we show you what happens to anyone who messes with the Ruman family."

Rob then signalled to one of the men holding a knife to go over to Dan. The man walked over as he already knew what Rob was going to order.

"Cut off the boy's fingers."

Scarlett crying got even louder.

"No…NO… PLEASE!"

The man pulled out his knife and placed it just above Dan's little finger.

Tony eyes were starting to fill Red with Anger. He hadn't expected Rob to act this extreme but Tony was now too far from the boy to stop anything.

Rob then nodded signalling the man to do it.

The man moved his blade slightly causing the skin to draw blood, Scarlett couldn't witness it anymore and closed her eyes.

Then suddenly, she heard a scream but it didn't sound like Dan's voice, it was unfamiliar to her.

As she opened her eyes again, she saw Novis standing directly above Dan and the man with the knife had been knocked out and was lying on the floor.

Novis looked at Scarlett and Dan and there was a rage inside him that just wouldn't calm down.

"WHAT THE F!CK DID YOU DO TO MY FRIENDS!"
