"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Urgh…"
"Agh…"
"Whimper… sob…"
Sounds of whipping echoed throughout the plaza, as it continued to lash one after another.
Crack! Crack!
"...Please stop…!"
"Have mercy!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA, DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU GUYS DESERVE MERCY!? YOU PEOPLE AREN'T EVEN HUMAN!!"
The people in the plaza merely watched, as the thug continued to lash his whip on them.
"What's happening? Shouldn't we stop them?" Someone in the audience asked.
"Oh, no need."
"...Why?"
"Can't you see? They're modified. They are not like us."
They pointed to the ones being whipped.
He looked.
"..."
"Heh, they deserve it."
"..."
The man was silent.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"...Someone please save us…" The child being protected by their parents embraced, whispered in her breath while whimpering.
The man watching, clenched his fist.
Seeing as he couldn't hold it anymore, he stepped out of the audience.
"Huh? Hey! Where are you going?"
A bystander tried to stop him, but he brushed it aside.
"STOP!" He shouted.
The whipping stopped.
The thug looked at the man.
"Who are you?"
"I am nobody. Rather, you should stop what you're doing, right now!"
The thug stared at him, dead in the eyes for a while, before saying,
"...Why should I?" He smirked, raising his hands once more.
The man's eyes flickered, "Wait! STOP!!"
"HAAA!"
The whip flew by in the air, and lashed out towards the family of three.
"NOOO!"
CRACK!
A huge sound of a whiplash reverberated throughout the air.
But, the scene that they expected to happen did not occur.
"W-who are you?" The thug was stunned.
There, an unknown man with a helmet stood tall in front of the family of three, holding the whip in his hand.
The unknown man looked behind his back and asked, "Are you guys alright?"
"Y-yes… Thank you!" The father of the family said.
"Go."
"T-thank you very much!" They gave their gratitude and ran off.
"Uh… uh? AH! MY TOYS!" The thug exclaimed.
"Y-you! How dare you!"
"HOW DARE YOU IGNORE ME?!!"
The thug wildly lashed the whip in his hand towards the unknown man.
"Watch out!" The bystander cried out in worry.
But, before the hit could even land, the thug's face flew up in the air.
With a single fist.
BOOM!!!
THUD!!!
"Geez… So impatient are we?" The unknown man said.
"Big bro!"
"Boss!"
The thug's comrades hurriedly came to his support.
One of them then pointed a finger at the unknown man.
"Y-You..! What are you doing!?"
"Don't you know what the consequences are!!?"
The unknown man, however, ignored their whining.
"So, you asked who I am? I'll tell you."
"Listen very carefully…"
The spectators watched in anticipation, while the thugs warily listened and stared at the unknown man.
"My name is…"
The unknown man slowly raised his hand, and clenched his fist, and shouted,
"...Gahum Rider Wa!
