The back of Jack's shirt was charred, revealing his sturdy and upright back."T-this ... this can't be, can it?" Napoleon, still seated on the floor, found it hard to believe what he was seeing. "This weapon should be able to kill a Level 1 Warrior, but why can this bastard still endure? Could it mean ...?"While Napoleon was still lost in his shock, Jack had already stood before him. "You really want to trouble me, huh?"He snatched the deadly weapon from Napoleon's hand and crushed it with one hand.Crash!The sound of the broken object accompanied the bent and damaged weapon."Tell me where my mother is before I crush your body!" Jack grabbed Napoleon's collar and lifted him high."P-please don't kill me! Please! I'll tell you where she is! Please let me go!"Jack was unmoved by Napoleon's pleading words. He realized the truth in Rebecca's words that this old man was truly cunning. Therefore, he lifted the old man's body even higher."Don't test my patience!" Jack snapped. He would
While dodging Chester's attacks, Jack opened his panel. "Quantara, can I level up again?"The AI shook her head. "Unfortunately, you can only level up once a week! You've used your quota for this week! So you'll have to wait until next week!""Damn it!" Jack cursed inwardly. "If only I had known that earlier, I would have maxed out my power level!""Is there anything else I can do to increase my strength?" Jack asked again. "This monster seems stronger than I thought! I need a stronger attack!""I know, Jack! You can try another method if you want!""Whatever it is, I need it now!""As you wish!"Quantara then disappeared, and the hologram panel displayed a list of secret techniques that Jack could use in battle."I won't have time to read them all!" Jack said while blocking Chester's kick. "Just pick one that's most suitable for me right now!""Alright! I'll select it for you!"Shortly after, a text appeared. "Giant Fist Technique.""Okay! Whatever it is! Please assist me once again
Jack entered the room and closed the door behind him. Then, he reopened his hologram panel.[Name: Jack Eldrone][Level: Apprentice][Missions Completed: 3][Points: 110][Training Simulation: 4][Power Level: 3][Super Skills: 12][Super Technique: 1][Balance: 1,005,189,000]As he looked at the information, he noticed that his balance had increased again. "An addition of one million?" Jack muttered. "But didn't I only complete a regular mission?"As if understanding Jack's confusion, Quantara appeared before him. "For every level increase, the reward you receive for completing missions or simulations will be multiplied tenfold!"So, every time Jack completed a regular mission at the apprentice level, he would receive one million RG. Meanwhile, if he completed a special mission, he would get ten million RG.How easy it was to earn money!Additionally, Jack also observed an additional column that appeared on the panel. "Super technique? Luckily, I got help using this technique!" Jack
"Jack, have your breakfast first!" Matilda, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, shouted."No, Mom! I'm almost late to finish my work! I have to leave right now!" Jack said as he kissed Matilda's cheek. He didn't mention where he was going because he thought it would be better if the woman didn't know."If I talk about Jeremy and his relationship with Gunnar, I'm sure Matilda will start to wonder! So it's better if I don't say anything about what I'm going to do now!" That's what Jack thought earlier."Come back before dinner!" Matilda shouted again before Jack reached the door."Sure, Mom!"Jack drove his car out of the gate of his house.Unbeknownst to him, a pair of eyes had been watching his departure since earlier.One hour later.Jack had arrived in front of Manor Calder. This time, different from his visit yesterday, Lenora stood in front of the door, seemingly intentionally waiting for his arrival."Jack, how are you today?" Lenora smiled warmly, far from the cold and a
It didn't take long for Jack to understand what Jeremy was saying. "Mr. Calder, it seems there's a bit of a misunderstanding here!"It wasn't that Jack didn't want to bring a woman as beautiful as Rebecca home. However, he didn't want the Calder family to think he had done something he hadn't."I didn't bring Rebecca home with me! She did drop me off at the restaurant, but after that..."Jack stopped speaking when he saw Jeremy's sudden change in expression."Are you saying you haven't been with Rebecca since last night?"Jack shook his head. "She left after dropping me off!""That's impossible!" Jeremy's face tightened even more."Mr. Calder, tell me, what's really going on?""She hasn't come home since she went out with you last night. Lenora has been trying to call her numerous times, but it always goes straight to voicemail! Rebecca has never done that before! Unless her phone is dead, she would never turn it off!"What?Jack knew something had definitely happened.And his suspici
A few minutes earlier.In a room with walls entirely made of wood, a girl lay on a large bed with both her hands and feet tied up.Not long after, the door opened and a man in his thirties entered the room."Tsk tsk tsk! I don't know how to praise your beauty, Rebecca!" The man could hardly turn away his gaze as it fell upon the girl, who turned out to be Rebecca."Truly an indescribable beauty!" The man smirked as he stepped closer to the bed without closing the door."If it weren't for my cousin, I would have made you mine long ago!" He continued to gaze at Rebecca's body without turning away for a moment.Especially since Rebecca's shirt was partially unbuttoned, enticing him to linger and admire the hint of her cleavage, covered by a black bra. Moreover, the short skirt she wore barely reached her knees, revealing her smooth and fair thighs."Absolutely flawless!" the man murmured, as if lost in the pleasure he derived from feasting his eyes on her. "Your skin as white as snow and
The Wigram family rules the political scene of Rivertown. Irvin Wigram, the head of the family, is the mayor, while Gerhard Wigram, his eldest son, is the head of the Emerald Terrace district. Although financially their wealth assets are not larger than the Calder family's, they hold a very strong influence in Rivertown, which can be considered unshakeable. Furthermore, Irvin also controls the underworld. He has relations with the mafia from where he gets a lot of his money. Gerhard has long been fond of Rebecca and has attempted to propose to her several times, but she never accepted his proposal. Not because she didn't want to, but Rebecca knows exactly who Gerhard is. Despite his official position as a district leader, he has many illicit businesses managed under his name. Illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, human trafficking are some that can be mentioned. Irvin and Gerhard always manage to evade scrutiny. Every time there is an investigation from the capital's police force,
As Jack suspected, the arrival of this mysterious man must be related to Rebecca. "In that case, you'll have to step over my dead body first!" He said. The mysterious man looked at Jack cynically, almost laughing at him. "I've never met a young man with such low abilities but so bold to speak insolently to me like you! You dare tell me to step over your dead body first? Of course, I will!" The mysterious man then pushed the car with one hand. The movement seemed easy, as if he was pushing a light object. However, the car was pushed very hard to the side and almost fell into the deep river beside the road. Thump! The car crashed into the guardrail, teetering on the edge. "You scoundrel!" Jack didn't expect the mysterious man to go that far. Nevertheless, he didn't have much time to think because he had to rescue Rebecca immediately. Jack swiftly moved to the other door and held the car to assist Rebecca in getting out. "Are you alright?" Jack asked, checking on Rebecca's condit
