Kaijin Fighter: So I Have to Make Monsters, So What?

Chapter 343: Acts of Violence sometimes have good reasons

Much to the chagrin of the man being sat upon by Tiny the hippo, Zhen Liu did not immediately ask her to get off of him, but instead began to look around him for some reason.

Maybe he was trying to find a way to pull me out, the man thought to himself... moments before lashing out in annoyance.

"Oi! Are you going to get your fucking hippo off of me or what?! I got places to be, you bastards!"

"Calm down, mister..."

"Afnac! Victor Afnac! And I’d appreciate if the oh so magnanimous Zhen Clan would get their hippo off of me!," he shouted out of frustration. As he did though, a lot of the bystanders couldn’t help but to stare at the man’s gnarly teeth. They weren’t sure how he could talk so much despite his teeth being so ganky.

Zhen Liu merely rolled his eyes at the man’s outburst before continuing his inspection, only to pause for some unknown reason.

"Hmmm."

Zhen Liu returned to his original position and stood right in front of Victor Auradies. Evidently, the latter was so flippant and cranky, that he failed to notice the former’s expression going from curiosity to animosity.

=Well... whenever he is alone or with people of ill-intent he has a tendency to do the "devil schtick", but family is present as well... I’m going for the second.=

[Maestro’s gonna kick it.]

[Our lord’s not much for brutal violence, I think he’ll talk.]

[I...say.... stomp.]

________________________________________________

"Oi!," Victor shouted, "are you gonna get your hippo off me or-"

*POW!*

"GUGH! MY TEETH!"

"WHOA!"

"XIAO LIU! WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"Ahhh, I can hear the teeth breaking from here."

Before Victor could finish his next bout of shouting, Zhen Liu literally kicked him in his messed up teeth and knocked several of the pearly whites loose and into the air. Among the flying white sharapnel, Zhen Liu grabbed one midflight.

________________________________________________

=Well damn. That was brutal.=

[Hahah! Kicked him like a Rockette!]

[Oof! That looks painful.]

[Scary...when...angry...]

"Zhen Liu!," Zhen Yan shouted in preparation to reprimand his son, "what are you-"

*Crack!*

*FWOOM!*

"What the..."

Zhen Liu crushed the tooth he kicked into the with his bare hands, causing an explosion of smoke and unfamiliar aether to fill the air.

The smoke began to swirl around for a few moments before settling down on the ground and dispersing, leaving behind one very confused baby Rajin hippo with a pumpkin pastry in it’s mouth.

Mini’s head darted left and right in confusion for a moment before seeing Zhen Liu and her mama, Tiny.

"Kuu!"

Elated by the sight, Mini proceeded to run over where Zhen Liu and rub her head against his leg for a moment, before running over to Tiny and settling on top of her head. All while keeping the pastry in her tiny mouth.

Evidently, everyone was so enamored by the sight of a baby hippo being adorable, they didn’t notice Victor going pale and quiet the moment Zhen Liu broke his teeth not once, but twice.

________________________________________________

Meanwhile, back at the estate.

Stablemaster Ricardo was ripping through the area in an attempt to locate Mini the hippo. It was during this

"Weirdly enough, no. They got hunted down for their castoreum. Apparently it was used to make really high grade perfume if you can believe it."

"What the fuck?"

________________________________________________

’Did I miss any details in regards to those beavers?’

=Well, you didn’t mention the fact that their teeth are ten times harder than diamonds, but I don’t think that’s relevant right now.=

’Wait, they are?’

________________________________________________

"Yeah, but back to our friend here," Zhen Liu directed his gaze down at Victor, who over the course of Zhen Liu’s explanation was looking more and more uncomfortable by the second, "Mister Afnac here appears to be a rare bloodliner of Spatial Tooth Beaver descent who’s been using his skills to steal stuff left and right , and judging by how squirmy he’s getting, I didn’t seem to get anything wrong, did I?"

"I-I don’t know what you’re talking about," Victor denied in a distinctively more servile-sounding tone.

"Hmmm."

Unamused by the denial, Zhen Liu picked up two of the teeth that had fallen from the man’s mouth from his earlier kick and picked it up.

Zhen Liu palmed the teeth for a couple seconds before, breaking them like the one before it.

However, unlike before when a baby hippo appeared from the resulting smoke, this time it was a whole pot of wine and a crate of weapons.

"Wait a minute...I recognize that label! That’s a medicinal pot from the Corradas."

"And that’s a crate of weapons from the late Wolfe Family...well they ain’t using it anymore, dibs."

"Bruh!"

"Okay, so we have basically established that you’re some kind of kleptomaniac with magic teeth and by all rights I should probably have Tiny roll over and pop your head like a grape what with you delaying this trip of ours and attempting to kidnap my friend’s baby," Zhen Liu informed with Victor with a deliberately manic looking face, "but at the same time I’m feeling generous. So how about this, little sneak thief..."

Zhen Liu squatted down and proceeded to lift Victor’s chin so that he could stare him in the eyes.

"How about you handover everything you stolen in the past...let’s say two weeks? And if you do, I’ll let you go."

"A-and if I don’t?"

When asked this, Zhen Liu simply gave a surprisingly wide smile and answered in the sweetest voice possible.

"I suppose we can bring you along and I can practice my dentist work by ripping your teeth out one by and one and seeing what kind of prizes are in them. So what do you say?"

While what Zhen Liu said didn’t sound threatening in a traditional sense, the delivery was enough to cause everyone to simultaneously gulp.

Well...anyone who wasn’t his family that is.
