JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 167
“Unbelievable… To think that the God of War was my ancestor…”[Hold your horses, Jim. You both have the same family name. That doesn’t mean you’re his descendant.]“Hmph, are you jealous now?”[Why would I be jealous?] Joe snorted. [If you’re a descendant of a powerful character, that actually benefits me, don’t you think?]“Huh, you flip your script however you want without any shame.”[That’s called being potent.]“No, it’s called being shameless! If you had a body, I’d given you a whack on the back of your neck with a big fucking stick,” Jim blurted.[I get it. You’re still angry because I didn’t help you fight the big guy so that no harm came close to Rena.] Joe said. [I totally get your frustration.]“No, you don’t.”A few seconds of silence passed.Jim closed the book. “Direct or indirect, he’s still my ancestor. And he’s talked about demons and signing names in blood. I thought that was all fun and fiction, but he was very serious about it. If I didn’t see that demon appearing

A few hours later.Jim walked out of the training grounds as a sweaty, tired man. The guards waiting outside prepared a hot drink, which was yellow in color.“Is this urine?” Jim asked doubtfully.“No, my lord. It’s pineapple peel tea,” one of the guards said. “It’s very healthy after a workout. It relieves the joint pain and all.”“Mm…” Jim hesitantly brought his nose closer to the cup. To his relief, it really did smell like pineapple. He tasted it, and it wasn’t half bad. “It would have been better if you didn’t add sugar. I don’t like sugar, you see.”“Then we’ll add honey from now on, Lord Jim,” the guards said.“Cool. Tell me what generally happens in this street,” Jim asked them. “What’s the most exciting thing that people talk about?”“What else? Deaths, of course.”As the guards rambled nonstop, Jim learned a lot of things. First and foremost, people die every week on the second floor for silly reasons. There would be times when villains would fight over beer bottles and kill

“Create an advantage for the lower-ranked villains?” Ronny glanced at Joker questioningly. “Aren’t you a high-ranking villain on this floor?” “Well, I’m the eleventh rank, so I can be said to be a high-ranking villain,” Joker casually said, stretching his mustache. “But I’ll be fine even if ten low-ranking villains come at me at once.” “Haha, that’s my lord,” Ace laughed heartily. “He could climb to higher ranks if he wanted, but because any rank from ten and above needs to serve Jeremy directly, he doesn’t climb to those rankings.” “To be more precise, I just like the street I’m ruling,” Joker said. “However, what I do want to see is Jeremy get his ass wrecked, and I believe that…” he looked at Ronny, “you can do it.” Ronny’s heart jerked for a second. “Ahem, I don’t need to raise my hand for the likes of Jeremy or whoever it is. My right-hand man, Jim, will be plenty enough.” “Hoh…” Joker looked at Jim to see if he was willing to fight Jeremy. “You’ve seen him, haven’t you? What
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 170
In Silly Street ruled by the 50th ranked villain named Big Fool.The villains ranked number ten and nine were both having a party together in a local bar because they were going to marry each other.“Though Little Nightmare wasn’t a ranked villain, she was still very capable of being in the top ten,” the tenth-ranked villain Electric Assassin said. He was completely covered in a black attire, with only his eyes open for view. “I tried to assassinate her three times but failed. This hero Jim or whatever, he’s definitely not your average guy. I don’t think it’s a good idea to even give him three days of time. If he makes a contract with the nanobots or makes a deal with a demon, then he’s going to get a lot more powerful.”“Then, are you saying that you want to assassinate him before the three day time limit?” the ninth-ranked villain, Scarlett Storm, said. She was a tall, fit, muscular woman with long red-hair. “Jeremy won’t be happy if we break the rule he set.”“Well, I just have to
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 171
Scarlett, famously known as Scarlett Storm, was known for her bloody killings. She would bash people’s skulls into smithereens, and then dye her hair with their blood. Once she got going, it would be very difficult to stop her, for she was like a storm.Who could stop a storm?Even though Scarlett and Electric Assassin were ranked nine and ten, Scarlett was much stronger than him. In fact, the only villain on the second floor that can stand their ground against her would be only Jeremy. Even the second ranked villain might not be sure about winning if he were to fight her.The reason Scarlett stayed at the ninth rank was just because her lucky number was nine. And the reason Electric Assassin sided with her in the first place was not just because she was gorgeous in her own way but was also someone who had great chances of getting to the next floor. By sticking with her, he thought his chances of climbing to the third floor would also increase. However, after spending a few months tog

“Blink, and you’ll lose.” Scarlett took half a step forward and slashed the sword diagonally. “Storm Slash!”It happened so fast, and an invisible slash came flying at Jim much faster than sound itself.Jim’s instincts screamed him to move out of its way, and he immediately jumped to his right. The buildings behind him were all sliced in half for well over a hundred meters and killed some people in the process.Scarlett slashed her sword horizontally this time, and the slash went right after Jim’s throat. He managed to duck in time. The buildings that were sliced in half were not sliced horizontally again, making them fly and briefly float in air. Over a dozen houses in the vicinity were flying in the air, and it was a terrifying sight for all those that were watching.When these structures came crashing down, more people got stuck under the rubble. And some of them would lose their lives due to lack of oxygen.As chaos ensued in the streets, Jim and Scarlett continued to fight. Jim s

Jim landed on the ground after sending Scarlett flying. He skidded into a halt and was sucking a deep breath. Just then, he felt a faint disturbance in his energy from behind, which meant that someone was on his back.“Silent Spear!”An electric spear pierced through Jim’s heart from behind and came from the front.“Ngh,” Jim gritted his teeth, but the power that coursed through his chest was too much for him to take. He ended up coughing blood.While the pure electric spear was still running through his chest, Big Fool laughed and jumped at him. “Mountain Fist!” He struck Jim’s head on the side and sent him flying into the distance for hundreds of meters. “Hahaha! Did you see that, Lord Electric Assassin? I killed him with that blow.”“Go and make sure that he’s dead,” Electric Assassin told him before he rushed over to Scarlett and checked on her condition.Her jaw was broken. She lost a few teeth, but she was still conscious. He lifted her off the ground and lay her back in his lap
JIM IS HIM CHAPTER 174
After defeating Big Fool, Jim looked for Scarlett Storm, and especially Electric Assassin because the spear that he had pierced through Jim’s heart did not leave his mind yet.He really wanted to fight and beat Electric Assassin. However, he could not find both those villains.Doug told him that they left the street, so there was nothing he could do about them as their streets were not nearby.Doug said Jim should eat at a restaurant before going to another street. “If you don’t eat anything, you’re going to lose your strength, Boss.”“I know that, but how can you guarantee that human meat isn’t mixed in these restaurants?” Jim asked.“That’s…” Doug didn’t know how to answer. He didn’t eat human meat himself after coming to the second floor because he was too weak for that.Human meat on the second floor was a luxury. For a poor and weak survivor like Doug, he would be able to afford monster meat or at best dog meat.Monster meat was the cheapest because of the availability of the mons
