Chapter 8 - first sign of digesting the potion?

After the hard work im even more exhausted than i was yesterday because i came to late the boss made me do the cleaning alone today. normaly when the restaurant closes all staff clean it together and with all staff i mean josh me and the boss.

Im glad that the restaurant isnt to big if it were i would still be cleaning.

Now that my work is finished im unsure what i should do since edward wanted me to gather more infos but im unsure how to do that.

The last time i tried gathering info it wasnt to hard i acted as a journalist and asked the workers but to get more detailed information i dont even have an idea right now.

Should i try asking around but soon when we rob him it would be suspicious that someone days before tried asking around and its not like i could just go to random people and ask them if they know something about louis perry.

Since i dont have a plan i shouldnt just go to cherwood borough with no plan since i dont have enough money to go with a carriage there without knowing what i want to do.

I wonder do i even really need to get more information edward said he would also try to find more out about him.

No thats a bad mindset not only do i not want to be dependent on edward i also should atleast try to gather information since edward could do this robbery on his own my best help would be to gather information and most likely to just be there as his backup.

I look around me and see that i dont know where i am exactly.

While thinking i walked quite a lot since i wasnt sure what im going to do i didnt walk home but just went where ever i wanted to and now im on a street im not familiar with.

Maybe i should just try to walk the way back i came from but this risks that i become even more lost im unsure if i could recall where i walked maybe its better to continue to walk and try to find a carriage.

I continued to walk a bit i was still thinking a bit while also trying to find either a carriage or some place that viktor knows.

I really feel like the worst beyonder in history right now becoming lost because he wanted to do a nice walk while clearing his thoughts.

Although the criminal pathway doesnt make me more smart it still feels ridiculous.

While walking i see a tall guy on the way i was walking he looked quite strong and a lot like a thug he was sitting on a chair that blocked a bit of the street but not to much where you cant just walk past.

I continued to walk towards him i also thought about going back and finding another way since someone who looks like that and is waiting there is quite a red flag for me especially in the east borough. 

"hey kid how about giving me 1 soli as a protection fee"

It seems like i was quite right about this now i was standing quite close to the thug.

"protection fee?"

"yeah dont you see im protecting this street that no thugs come and rob you"

"the only thug im seeing you though?"

The thug stood up quite a bit taller than me if i werent a beyonder i might really be scared.

"are you sure that you want to mess with me?"

"obviously yes"

the thug tried to punch my face but i was able to jump out of the way

Since i dont have any weapons here it isnt to easy but my hands should be enough to deal with one thug.

I went and punched him in the stomach and continued to try to dodge his attacks with his bigger size if this fight was only about strength he would most likely win but as a criminal i have quite good senses and am able to dodge most of his attacks. 

and this is how the fight continuned for a while i tried to attack him once and then dodge his counter attack whenever he attcked i also tried not to get hit and sometimes attacked right after. He tried punching me in the face i dodged back and then slammed into him bringing him to ground i sat on him and continued punching him again and again i slowly noticed that i have a smile on my face while me and the thug fighted i seemed to be smilling.

And when i look at the thug his entire face is bloody and he seems to have been knocked out a while ago and i just continued to punch him.

This is quite disturbing that i seemed to have enjoyed this fight a bit to much i slowly got up and tried to get most of the blood from me and walked away even though the thug lost a bit of blood he isnt in live danger so leaving him wont kill him. Soon i saw a street where a public carriage was i went up to talk with the carriage driver. 

"hello good sir could i ask if youre still working?"

"i just wanted to go home but if you want i can drive you to wherever you want as long as it is in east borough since i dont want to do a long drive"

"i just want to go home its near crossing street 8"

The drive wasnt long neither the driver nor i talked the drive it turns out that i wasnt to far away from home the reason why i didnt tell him where i exactly lived is cause i still have some blood on my hands and if the driver were to see it its better for him to not know my exact location who knows if he were to go to the police.

When i arrived at crossing street 8 it was just a 5 minutes walk to get back home and in that time i still thought about how much i enjoyed the fight is it the criminal potion that made me enjoy it this much or is it just my own desirers and when i think about it when i walked to the thug i even hoped for him to try to rob me so i could attack him its disturbing.

I wonder if beating that thug and doing what i desired helped me digest my potion a bit more? it did feel like it during the fight i wonder what exactly is the acting for a criminal although stealing and other criminal activities might digest it a bit but i think the first real acting rule should be something like do whatever you desire and dont regret it? something like this maybe?.

Soon i was back home but this time i wasnt as exhausted i was rather feeling quite well of course also a bit uneasy since i now saw the first real change i had in my personality since i drank the potion and i know if i continue this path i will change even more.
