Chapter 17: A Ghost from the Past

In a narrow alley, Daigo stood with his gang, ready to attack the school. But before they could move, two black vans slid in, blocking their path. Dozens of men in leather jackets and tattoos emerged, some with firearms.

"Aniki! It's the Red Dragon Gang! And... the Tiger Claw Gang!" one of Daigo's men screamed, his voice trembling.

Daigo froze. The glint of pistols made his legs weak. A volley of warning shots was fired into the air. His cowardly nature emerged. He crouched behind a dumpster, his body shaking violently. He wasn't ready for this brutal reality.

A man with a tiger tattoo aimed his pistol at Daigo's head. Suddenly, a shadow flashed by. Before the man could pull the trigger, Arata appeared, quickly disarming him.

"Don't you dare touch him," Arata said, his cold eyes staring at the rival gang.

Daigo's eyes widened. The teacher he sought, the one who had embarrassed his men, was now standing before him and saving his life.
