Chapter 74: “Dante Wants You”
As if to prove Envy’s words, the ’dead’ clown sat up suddenly, its head slowly turning around so that it could see René and the rest of the guys. A soft chuckle escaped its mouth as it laid back down, only to flip back up to its feet, its knife firmly in its hand.
"Dat’s not good," grunted Dimitri, unable to hide just how impressed he was with the creature.
Seeing that the head clown was no longer acting, the other clowns dropped their hands and started skipping forward, humming a tuneless song under their breath as they approached the other.
Luca turned to look at René, unable to hide the smirk on his face. It was a little-known fact that their fearless leader was absolutely terrified of clowns. He was literally living his worst nightmare right now, and this time, there was no waking him up.
Raising his gun, René unloaded the magazine into the lead clown, filling it full of bullets. At first, it stumbled back a few steps as the bullets entered its legs and chest, but then it got used to the onslaught.
Undeterred, the clown continued forward as more and more chunks of flesh were removed from its body. Lifting its knife, it brought it down on René’s head, intending to kill him.
Tossing his empty gun to the side, René blocked the attack, spinning around until he took the clown down to the ground. Pinning its arms behind its back, René pulled out a set of handcuffs and handcuffed the clown.
"Vraiment?" sneered Ronan and Salvatore at the same time. "Dat’s your solution ta dis little problem?" continued Ronan as the rest of the guys looked at René like he was crazy. "Arrest de clowns?!?"
"I donna ’ave enough cuffs for dis," grunted Désiré, rolling his eyes. Even the crowd of clowns behind their leader was looking at René like he had a screw loose or something.
