Star) Everything Is Connected Part 1 (Patreon)

Jasmine had no choice but to stand at the side and gaze at the three small alleys. She was able to see the clock on the wall through the window of the building she was leaning on. As the time slowly ticked by, she finally saw something strange. A woman was being held by her arm by a man and being pulled into the side alley. Behind them, three other men followed after them. 

Jasmine took a deep breath and closed her eyes before walking around the street. She made her way to the side alley, where she could hear the sounds of someone talking. “Let go of me!”

“Listen, lady, we were paid to do this. You only need to get a few pictures taken.” A man’s voice rang out.

Jasmine frowned as she entered the alley. She could see the man who was holding the woman before struggling to try to pull her shirt up.  The three other men stood a few steps back from them, watching from the side. One even had a camera in his hands. Jasmine hoped this was the person she was supposed to help! She tapped her foot and shot forward. It was just…..

Her speed was much faster than she had ever expected. While the group was a way down the alley, she arrived at the first man almost instantly. Her body listened to what she wanted to do as she raised her foot and did a roundhouse kick to the man in front of her head. When her foot connected, she subconsciously hooked her toes on the man’s face and brought his head and entire body with the momentum of her leg, smashing him head first into the ground.

“Wha!?” The man who saw the whole thing from the side was in shock. He couldn’t help but say: “So fucking cool! No wait! What the fuck!?”

“Who the hell are you!?” Now that Jasmine was in their sights, they immediately reacted. The man who was trying to pull the woman’s shirt up reacted quickly, grabbed the woman by her arm, and pulled her close to him. 

“It doesn’t matter who I am.” Jasmine’s voice was slightly low. But the cold tone that penetrated into the ears of these men made them shiver slightly. “Let her go.”

“Tch. You think just by surprising us once, you can make demands?” The man who was holding the woman snorted.

The woman looked at the ‘Y0ung Man’, who came to help her, and bit her lip. She did not wish to get others involved in her matters. She knew the person who sent these men would not let anyone go who dared to save her. “I do not know who you are, but please go!”

Jasmine wanted to yell out she would love to! But her points were riding on this. And at the same time, since she had already seen everything, she could not let things slide so easily. 

“You are not going anywhere!” The man holding the woman yelled. “Get him!”

Jasmine had no time to complain about being mistaken for a boy again as she shot forward and threw a punch at the man who was closest to her. Her fist just barely connected with the man’s chin, causing him to suddenly wobble and fall to the ground in a daze. The other man who also attacked felt a sharp pain in his throat as a foot suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and like the first man, he was smashed into the ground as well.

The only one left standing was the man who was holding the woman. Jasmine bent down and picked up the camera that had fallen to the ground and erased all the photos on it before dropping it back on the ground and stomping on it. The entire camera shattered into millions of pieces. She dusted her hand off as she looked at her handy work with a nod of approval before turning to the man and saying calmly: “I said let her go. I will not say it again.”

“You… what the hell are you!?” The man holding the woman finally realized this young man was not just someone who got in a sneak attack. The moves and skills just now were polished! Only someone who has had years of training could pull such moves off. 

“Just do as I say.” Jasmine sighed. She was starting to get annoyed.

Luckily, this time, the man did do as Jasmine said. He stepped back but did not run away. “I let her go. The money we are getting is not worth it for the damage. If you can let me take my men, we will leave and not go near this woman again.”

Jasmine had to admit the man was loyal to his friends. “As long as you leave her alone, it is fine.” Jasmine would normally not let someone go like this, but since she was supposed to be in school and not out and about, she did not want to get involved with the police.

“Thank you. I am a man of my word. I only do this shit for money.” The man said before quickly helping his men up. Two of which he had to support, while the other was able to walk but only barely. 

Jasmine watched until they turned the corner, exiting the alley, before she turned to the woman who had been standing there this entire time. But before she could say anything, a window popped up in front of her.
