Chapter 9
Summary
As Jonathan drops the knife to the ground, the last of three men rushes towards him with killing intent. The man's bowler hat begins to spin and is revealed as a spinning blade top. Failing to persuade him to stop, Jonathan is forced to move into a defensive stance. The man perpares to launch his hat, but Jonathan quickly kicks the knife he had dropped earlier and sends it flying towards his opponent. The man is easily able to dodge the knife, throws his hat and succeeds at cutting deep into Jonathan's arm. Jonathan does not flinch however, and the man is compeltely caught off guard, taking a heavy kick to the face.
Having defeated all three men, Jonathan is suddenly surrounded by a mob of thugs who proceed to attack him. The same man who Jonathan had defeated earlier tells the mob to not harm him. He introduces himself as Speedwagon and asks Jonathan why he did not use all his power into the kick that sent him flying. Jonathan claims that he is simply looking for a way to help his father and figured Speedwagon must too have a family that cares for him. Amused by Jonathan's naivety, as well as nobility, Speedwagon offers to take Jonathan to the oriental shop.
