I exhale again, breathing back in savagery.
“But then, there aremalignantassholes. Bullies. The type who actively get off on being menaces. Andmalignantassholes can’t be left to their own devices.”
My eyes land on a confused looking Leo, narrowing.
“They need to be put the fuckdown.”
Leo snarls at me.
“See, I was going to let you walk out of here with a few thumps to the head and without that car. Now, you ain’t gonna be walkin’ at all.”
He grins.
“And I don’t know who the fuck your daddy was, but he sounds like a cunt.”
The rest of his men chuckle darkly.
“Oh, I think you do know my father, actually.”
I smile, nodding to the boxing-themed calendar hanging on the wall.
“You’ve got his picture up on your bloody wall, after all.”
Leo frowns, whipping his head around to glance at the calendar.
The one with the famous photo of my father, Colin Ransom, knocking out George “Steel Gloves” Steeling for the title fight on it.
When he turns back, something changes in his eyes as the dots connect.
He swallows.
“Naw,” he mutters, uncertainty in his voice. “Just the same last name. That ain’t your father.”
I smile.
“Why don’t we find out?”
Leo swallows nervously again. But then he turns to glance at his men.
“It’s still six to one, mate.”
“Then perhaps you’d like to call a friend or two.”
He grins, hands closing into a fist.
“You got a mouth on you, moneybags. I’m gonna enjoy this.”
My lips curl.
“Believe me, so am I.”
That’s when they rush me, just as the violence, rage, and savagery I’ve been inhaling ignite like a bomb inside of me.
The first gets an arm snapped behind his back as I shatter his ankle with my heel. The second goes down rasping, clutching his throat as my fist crushes it.
The third I flip over my back, and the fourth is an actual one-punch knock-out.
Five gets one hit to my abs, and then number three is hitting me from behind like a coward. I go down grunting, but then I lunge forward, grabbing the man in front of me and stumbling across the floor until we hit the poker table. Cards and cash scatter as I whip him around and smash his face into the side of the table, breaking his teeth and then knocking him out on the second.
