"I.. give.. up," the leader said as he breathed heavily.
Everyone in the room went silent from seeing what had just happened. Of course there were all types of reactions from excited to angry. However, no one dared to move an inch from where they stood, not that they could in the first place. Everyone had been caught off guard that they forgot how to move.
Once hearing the leader admit his defeat, Yuki's clone helped the man get back up on his feet so that they could get started with proper introductions. Just as the man turned around to go to his seat so that he may resume the introductory process, he quickly turned back around to face Yuki's clone as he aimed to go for a surprise attack with his brass knuckles.
Seeing this, Yuki's clone quickly ducked as he avoided the attack then went in for a quick leg spin which once again made the leader lose his balance and fall to the ground once more. However, this time, Yuki's clone looked more serious as if anyone had moved, he would kill them all.
As the boss laid on the ground with his face looking up at the bar ceiling, Yuki's clone quickly got on one knee as he grabbed the leader with his collar.
"Those brass knuckles.. take them off," said Yuki's clone, which was ignored by the leader.
"NOW!" said Yuki's clone as he pointed his blade at the leader's neck.
Seeing as how his opponent had changed, the boss did as he was told and took off the brass knuckles so that he could no longer fight.
"Next, admit that you lost," Yuki's clone said as he tightened his grip on the boss's collar.
"Ok ok, please stop that. You're killing me. Fine, I lost. Are you happy now?" the leader asked Yuki's clone.
"No, not yet. Finally, get your things and get out of here right now," Yuki's clone demanded, which set off everyone in the room. Hearing the clone's words, everyone in the room began to circle Yuki's clone as they attempted to attack him all at once.
"I wouldn't make any stupid decisions if I were you," said Yuki's clone with a grin and he brought the dagger closer to the boss's neck.
"I'll leave just please don't kill me. All of you, back down as well," said the boss. Hearing his words, everyone moved back to where they were as they tried to hold back their tears as they watched their boss walk out as he forcibly retired.
"I'm sorry you had to watch that. Anyway, I'll be taking over from now on," said Yuki's clone, which clearly angered a lot of people.
"In most cases I would tell you to leave if you didn't like me but this time, things are different. You'll serve me and you won't have a say in this matter. I won't settle for lazy work so prepare yourselves to be worked to death," said Yuki's clone. Even though many of them wanted to follow their old boss and start a new gang with him once again, they knew that they would rather keep on living instead. Especially seeing how ruthless and skillful Yuki's clone was.
"From now on you shall call me boss and nothing else... Hey, who keeps track of the statistics around here?" Yuki asked.
"I-I do," a young woman appeared from the shadows. She had silky blonde hair and wore a tight black skirt with a black coat and white undershirt. While many of the other guys seemed interested in her, Yuki's clone paid no attention to her since he had a job to do.
"Good. Now, tell me, how many members do we have within each level?" Yuki's clone asked her. To answer her new boss's question, the woman pulled out a book which she had been carrying with her hands behind her back.
"Our gang consists of 124 level 1 players, 15 level 2 players, 3 level 3 players with the last target not being acquired yet so we almost have 4. Lastly we have 1 level 7 player but he doesn't do much around here," the lady explained.
"Where is he currently?" Yuki's clone asked.
"I'm right here boss," said a skinny man who had a cup of beer in his hand as he drank it while talking to the bartender.
"Oh great. I could use someone like you in situations such as these. Can you change your ability so it becomes one where it teleports you to a specific place?'' Yuki's clone carelessly asked. In his mind, he was still level 21 so someone who was 3 times weaker than him would be of no consequence.
"Boss... do not talk to him so casually, he gets irritated easily," the lady tried to warn Yuki's clone but it was too late.
The skinny man began to slowly walk towards the sitting clone until he was able to look down at him.
"And why should I listen to you?" the man asked in a smug manner.
"I have 2 reasons. One, I am your boss now. I don't care what level you are, you're still my employee. Secondly, I think I might be able to get you all out of this closed off kingdom. But, if you want any chance of this plan working, you'll have to do as I ask," Yuki's clone stated.
"Wait seriously? How do you even plan on doing it?" the level 7 player asked.
"Well first, we get everyone in the kingdom on our side. By doing that, we can ensure that the construction company will slow down their production so that the wall won't be repaired any time soon so that'll give us an opening to escape," Yuki's clone began to explain his plan.
"We already knew that. If we tried to escape from here, they would come after us," said the level 7 player.
"That's just half the plan. The reason I asked if you can change your ability to be one where it allows you to teleport to a specific place is because I would like you to go to the biggest news provider you can find and inform them of your imprisonment. They won't believe you but they'll be intrigued so they'll send a team to investigate the situation just in case it's real," Yuki's clone continued to explain which had gotten the attention of everyone in the bar.
"Once they arrive on the scene, we all get out of the kingdom and they'll have no choice but to watch us escape. If they were to try to kill us or even try to place us back in the kingdom, their secret would be let out. It's the perfect set up so we can all escape our days of being prisoners in this kingdom," Yuki's clone finished speaking.
Hearing his magnificent plan, everyone began to cheer. They would finally be able to live normal lives once again after an eternity of imprisonment.
"But wait, you said that the world doesn't know of our situation right? How do you know that?" the blonde statistics keeper asked.
"I have a simple answer to that. Do you remember when the doors of this kingdom were opened for a bit a couple days ago? That was because I was allowed entry into his kingdom because of reasons I do not wish to delve into right now. But basically, the world has never heard of what you're going through. If I remember correctly, this place is referred to as the most secure prison in the world. They said that the people who used to live here got moved out into other kingdoms and they were even compensated for all their troubles with some silver a while ago in the newspaper. A lot of people even thought of them as heroes for going far and beyond to keep the world a safer place," Yuki's clone explained.
"But why call it a prison. It's not like they brought in any prisoners," the blonde lady replied. Realizing what she said and how Yuki was brought in a few days ago, he would quickly be found out for what he really was if he didn't cover up his tracks quickly.
"W-Well that's just their cover up story. I hear they wanted to do illegal human experiments in the human mind to see what caused players to level up. This entire place was just a human research lab," Yuki's clone said. While it didn't make sense at first, the people quickly began to believe it. As long as any bad was directed at them, humans would buy any lie within an instant.
"Anyway, it's not like we have all the time in the world, we need to start preparing for our escape day starting now! And make sure you only inform the plan to someone who you have known for more than a week. If you have only met that person a few days ago, don't tell them. Don't ask any more questions, just get started already!" Yuki's clone commanded.
