Chapter 50: The Humbleism Crusade (Part 3)

The Iron Fist

Everyone called him Chief Johnson—but in the streets, and even inside the department, people had a different name for him:

The Iron Fist.

He wasn’t the guy pushing paper or giving speeches. He was the guy who wrecked elite fighters—without even breaking a sweat.

He took down Lindsey from the Frugal Organization—brutal fighter. Flattened her.

Then he beat Michael—yeah, that Michael, the top enforcer from the Humble Organization. Same result. Barely got touched.

Both of them ended up laid out. Couldn’t even stand afterward.

There’s another story—this one’s more of a whisper than a fact.

Some high-ranking criminal tried to run. Johnson caught up to him and hit him—just once. In the chest.

That one punch sent the guy flying. He smashed through not one, not two—but fifteen apartment walls in a row. Total destruction. Furniture gone. Glass everywhere. Concrete shattered.

By the time they found where he finally stopped—wall number sixteen—the only thing left was a single rib sticking out of the drywall.

The rest? Just blood mist and bone powder.

Now picture this:

Upper floor of the police HQ. Strategy meeting. The real kind.

Chief Khan—cool, old-school—folds his arms.

“I’m not getting involved,” he says. “Just a turf war. Not our problem.”

Johnson doesn’t take that well.

He steps forward, eyes blazing:

“That’s why the city’s falling apart. You sit back, pretend this mess isn’t ours to clean up.”

He points at the door.

“Fine. Stay here. I’ll handle it. Give me two weeks—when I come back, I’ll be poppin’ champagne and grilling ribs on the balcony.”

Khan? Unbothered. Doesn’t even blink.

“Good luck,” he says, arms still crossed.

Next morning, Johnson’s out at the training grounds.

Hundreds of officers, standing tall, uniforms sharp. Ready.

He’s barking orders:

“ATTENTION! MOVE OUT!”

And they move—boots pounding, like thunder rolling down the street. Whole formation marches right into the heart of the city.

Their target? The chaos.

Leading them?

None other than The Iron Fist—stone-faced, shades gleaming, fists clenched.

The Fist Hits the Core

While everyone else was fighting like madmen around Latitude 38—explosions, banners torn up, pure chaos—something different happened.

Out of the smoke and rubble, this perfectly synchronized squad of officers rolled in. South side. No warning. No hesitation.

They didn’t sneak in from the side. They cut straight through the middle—surgical.

The Humbleism Crusaders? They didn’t even see it coming.

In minutes, their entire middle section collapsed. Not slowly—from the inside out. Like the center just gave up.

Their base, once this crazy fortress of screaming faith and layered defense, folded like wet cardboard.

Dozens got caught alive. Dragged away screaming, chanting, crying… or just stunned into silence.

On the city’s big tactical map, this team got marked in pink. Weird color, yeah. But everyone knew what it meant.

Johnson. The Iron Fist.

And the move got a name fast:

The Pink Miracle.

This wasn’t your average police raid.

These officers? Disciplined, sharp, ruthless.

They moved like gears in a machine. Shot like snipers. Fought like tanks.

And Johnson?

He didn’t say much. He didn’t need to. He just walked forward—punching through every top Crusader commander that came at him.

Necks broken. Skulls shattered. No mercy.

By the time the dust cleared, half of Pastor Simon’s lieutenants were dead—killed in hand-to-hand combat.

And then—get this—Johnson pulled out. Didn’t stick around to claim anything.

He handed the districts off… to gangs.

Yeah. Not clean. Not legal. But smart.

He wasn’t looking to be mayor—he just wanted things back to how they were: Corrupt? Sure. Expensive? Absolutely. But at least it was stable.

“Let the gangs collect protection money,” he figured. “At least the shopkeepers know what they’re paying for.”

And then something even weirder happened.

At every transfer ceremony—when a gang officially took over a block or a street—civilians gathered.

Shopkeepers. Restaurant owners. Regular folks.

And they clapped.

They applauded the gangsters. Smiled as the paperwork changed hands.

Why?

Because for the first time in months, they knew who was in charge.

Twisted, yeah. But it was order.

And Johnson?

He just stood in the back, arms folded, saying nothing.

Because for now—

The Fist had struck the core. And the bleeding city… stopped.

The Captive Camp

After the southern ambush and the collapse of Latitude 38, things got ugly—real fast.

The Humbleism Crusaders weren’t fighters anymore.

They were prisoners.

Dragged through back alleys in chains, they ended up in the worst place imaginable—somewhere people in the underworld only whispered about:

The Captive Camp.

It wasn’t a prison. It wasn’t a holding cell. It was a slaughterhouse—pure rage and revenge, bottled and let loose.

Canelo and Robinson, both still pissed about their losses, used the camp as a punching bag to vent everything they had.

There were no guards. No rules. Just pain.

Some prisoners got beaten to death by bare hands.

Some? They were boiled alive—screaming in giant metal pots while thugs laughed and filmed it on their phones.

Others were drowned—literally flushed in busted toilets, held down until they stopped moving.

By the end of the day, hundreds were dead—killed in ways so twisted you’d think it was fiction.

And worst of all?

It was all recorded.

The clips blew up online—viral in minutes.

They had titles like:

“Holy Trash Gets Flushed” “Toilet Baptism for Crusaders” “Watch Them Burn”

No filters. No censorship. No shame.

People who once thought about joining the golden-robed movement saw the footage—and froze.

What they saw wasn’t a movement. It was a funeral set to laugh tracks.

Recruitment tanked overnight.

No one wanted to join a cause where this was the endgame.

Inside the Humble Organization HQ, three men stood in front of a huge screen:

Michael. Brian. Colin.

The video played—again and again.

A kid screaming in a pot. A follower begging for mercy, then dunked headfirst into a clogged toilet. Someone off-camera lighting a cigarette like it was just another Tuesday.

Michael broke the silence first.

“We should help them,” he said. “They’re not fighters. Just kids.”

Brian nodded.

“This isn’t war anymore. It’s straight-up genocide.”

Then Colin finally spoke—soft, flat, unreadable:

“No need.”

They stared at him.

He didn’t explain. Didn’t blink.

Just quietly picked up his phone… and made a call.

On the other end, Pastor Simon answered.

“Say what?” “That’s impossible!”

Whatever Colin said… it shocked him. Bad.

But no one else knew why.

Back in the room, no one spoke.

The videos kept playing.

The screams kept looping.

And underneath it all, something was starting to move—quietly, secretly.

No announcement. No speech.

Just one phone call.

And now?

Something dark was in motion.

Chief Johnson Is Fallen

Around 4 p.m. the next day, everything stopped.

Every news channel interrupted their broadcast.

BREAKING NEWS.

But honestly? You didn’t need a TV.

The whole city already knew.

People yelled it into phones. Podcasters shouted it over livestreams. Strangers whispered it at bus stops.

Chief Johnson is dead.

Two guys on a street corner just stood there, frozen.

“No way,” one said. “He took out Michael and Lindsey. Both of them. One punch. Now he’s just… gone?”

That wasn’t just his question.

It was everyone’s.

“Who could’ve done it?” “Who could kill him?”

He was The Iron Fist. The guy who turned bodies to dust. People thought he could survive anything.

“Only Chief Khan could’ve taken him down,” someone muttered.

But that wasn’t the story.

Then another voice came on a podcast:

“It wasn’t Khan. And it wasn’t some epic duel.”

“It was a mob. A hundred of them—maybe more. Low-level nobodies.”

“Johnson wiped out the first wave. Then another came. Then another.”

“They kept coming. And eventually… they got him.”

“They didn’t fight fair. They swarmed him like ants on a god.”

The city went quiet.

The myth… shattered.

This wasn’t a kung fu movie anymore. It was reality.

Everyone had believed one strong man could hold the line.

But now they knew the truth:

Even legends can fall.

Even Chief Khan understood that.

That’s why he never stepped in.

And after that?

Cops started quitting—fast.

Some ripped off their badges in alleyways. Others just disappeared into the crowd.

No more formations. No more orders.

The Iron Fist was gone.

What was the point now?

By nightfall, the police resistance was done.

Totally collapsed.

The Humbleism Crusaders—who had been retreating—pushed forward again. Block by block, they retook everything.

And by morning?

They were back at the gates of Altitude 38.

Not because they were stronger.

But because the last wall was gone.

Chief Johnson Must Die

Inside the Humble Organization’s office, the mood was… electric.

Michael and Brian were sitting on the couch like two kids who just watched the school bully get wrecked.

TV off. Phones buzzing. News echoing from every corner of the city:

“Chief Johnson is dead.”

Michael slammed his palm against the table.

“Finally! That bastard’s gone!”

His voice wasn’t angry—it was giddy. Like he’d just won the lottery.

“You have any idea how much trouble he’s caused me? Every move I made—he was there. Always blocking it. Now the cops got no backbone. We can run things smooth again.”

Brian leaned back, calm but clearly satisfied.

“This isn’t just a win,” he said. “This is a full board reset. New game. New rules.”

Across the city, in a dark office with the blinds pulled tight, Chief Khan just sat there.

Arms crossed. Chin on his hand. Silent.

No celebration.

Just calculation.

If Johnson could die… the guy who punched people through walls…

“What chance do I have?” he thought.

And now that Johnson was gone, Khan faced the real question:

“How does the police keep power… without its hammer?”

Even the toughest man in the room was rattled.

Back at the Humble office, Colin sat off to the side—legs crossed, one foot bouncing.

Expression? Stone cold.

But that tapping foot?

Yeah, he was pleased.

Michael and Brian walked over, riding high.

“You already know, don’t you?” Michael grinned. “Chief Johnson. Dead.”

Colin didn’t even look up.

“Yes,” he said. “I know.”

They paused.

Brian asked:

“What’d you say to Pastor Simon yesterday?”

Colin finally looked at them and started talking—slow, measured, like a man giving a lecture he already knew by heart.

“Johnson charged straight into the enemy’s core. Good tactic, honestly. Caught them off guard. Shook up their structure.”

“But he went too deep. Surrounded himself. No backup. No out. Just him, in the middle of our grid.”

He paused.

“He’s always been the biggest obstacle to our work. But until now, we had no reason to act. He never crossed the line.”

“This time… he did.”

“So we struck.”

Colin leaned forward slightly, voice still calm:

“He dropped himself right into our range. That gave us time to pull in forces from every direction.”

“I told Pastor Simon exactly what to do.”

‘No matter what it takes… Chief Johnson must die.’

Michael flinched just a little.

Even he felt the weight of that line.

Brian didn’t say a word.

Colin continued:

“Yeah, we lost a thousand low-level guys. Big cost.”

“But Johnson? Guys like him don’t show up every year.”

“This was a once-in-a-generation removal. And we pulled it off.”

Then, for the first time, Colin smiled—barely. Just a flicker.

“One of the Humble Organization’s greatest victories.”

Agreement of Ceasefire

The battle at Altitude 38 dragged on.

No one could move forward. No one would back off.

The front line stayed put—barely shifting, day by day. Maybe a few inches. That’s it.

Every morning, more fighting. Every night, more bodies. And the death count? Always hovering around the same numbers:

Thirty. Sixty. Maybe a hundred.

At some point, the news just stopped covering it.

It wasn’t breaking anymore. It was just background noise.

People stopped caring. They tuned out. Focused on celebrity gossip. Dumb scandals. Dance challenges.

The war had become… weather. Loud. Predictable. Easy to ignore.

Eventually, the fighters looked around and realized—

“Why are we even still doing this?”

So they sent representatives.

From every corner of the fractured city, the five biggest powers—and one extra, strange piece—met around an old negotiation table in what used to be a kindergarten.

Dusty lights. Scratched wood. And no smiles.

Here’s who showed up:

  • Canelo — representing one of the biggest street gangs.
  • Robinson — a former rival of Canelo’s, now reluctantly sitting beside him.
  • Mr. Seng — from the Kung Fu Association. Silent. Symbolic. Just there.
  • Michael — confident, stylish, golden-rimmed glasses gleaming. Representing the Humble Organization.
  • Chief Grayson — pale, awkward, sweating. Supposedly speaking for the police.
  • And then… the old man.

No one knew his name. No one asked. He looked like he could die right there in his seat. But somehow, he was part of the table.

And nobody questioned it.

They didn’t argue much.

No big debate. Just grunts. Nods. Tired eyes.

After barely an hour, it was done.

“Ceasefire at Altitude 38. Indefinitely.”

No handshakes. No signatures. No photos.

Just six men… nodding once.

Then they got up and left.

The war stopped.

Barricades taken down. Corpses hauled away. Streets swept.

Shops reopened. Traffic came back. Kids kicked soccer balls past stains nobody wanted to talk about.

And for the first time in months?

It felt like peace.

Not because anyone won. Not because anyone changed.

But because everyone was just…

Tired.

So the city breathed again.

Not healed. Not fixed. But… balanced.

Even if nobody could remember exactly how it all fell apart in the first place.
