“I don’t even know what the word ‘regret’ means,” Balaam said and looked at others. His eyes reverted back to normal. “Do any of you know the meaning?”“No, Lord Balaam,” they replied and snickered. “Maybe it’s a type of dish?”“Haha, maybe he’s talking about giving himself to me as a dish,” Balaam said, licking his lips.Jim closed his eyes and focused on his energy. He remembered the practice he did in the training grounds in Flower Street.His aura became so sensitive, he was able to track the location of the snipers with the help of the lasers itself. There were a total of eight snipers.“Omni Burst,” Jim uttered.A faint breeze blew past everyone in the vicinity.“Did he say something just now?” one of the cross-dressers said.“Maybe he said he regrets coming to this street.”“Hahaha.”As they laughed, the lasers were no longer highlighting on the bodies of Jim, Ronny, and Doug. Balaam and others looked up at the rooftops, only to see the snipers with holes in their foreheads. Al
Balaam thought he landed a critical hit by striking Jim’s head; however, he soon realized that his forehead never struck Jim. It was stopped and repelled by the pressure put by the vivre defense of Jim.Jim’s right elbow had come out of the skin, and it hurt him beyond description, but in the heat of the battle, he was able to put the pain aside and strike Balaam’s liver with his left fist. “Bone Breaking Fist!”Blood gushed out of Balaam’s nose against his will, for it was such a powerful strike. Not only did Balaam’s ribs crack, his liver also ruptured. His sight turned blurry for a moment.Nevertheless, Balaam randomly launched punches, hoping to hit Jim at least a few times. Jim deflected all of Balaam’s punches with his left hand alone.Ushi was the one that was fighting Jim through Balaam. He didn’t like the vivre that surrounded Jim and protected him from all types of attacks. He suddenly opened his mouth and let out gray mist that touched Jim’s vivre and melted it away, startl
Jim focused all his energy into his gut, and the seal began to melt away pretty quickly.“Good try, but it’s too late for that,” Ushi slashed his sword vertically. The slash teleported and struck Jim from the front.Ushi thought he got Jim, but what his attack slashed through turned out to be Jim’s afterimage.“Heavenly Step,” Jim suddenly appeared elsewhere and kept turning into a blur. Ushi slashed again and again, but his sword only hit the afterimages.Before Ushi knew it, Jim appeared on his back and thrust his palm, “Heavenly Fist!”A mighty punch to the back of Balaam put a massive hole in Balaam’s chest. Balaam was clearly weakened by that attack, but he was still on his feet. He turned around and tried to slash at Jim.Jim grabbed his hand before he could bring it down. Balaam’s size was also shrinking back to normal, suggesting that the demons were leaving his body.Jim caught Balaam by the throat and lifted him up. Balaam’s eyes still showed split pupils. “I told you… you’d
After Balaam was killed, the locals woke up and saw Doug, Ronny, and Jim standing. Doug told everyone that Jim killed Balaam, and that Jim was the underling of Ronny, so the street’s name was changed to Ronny Street. And Ronny gave them the command to stop wearing lipstick and dresses that made them look revolting. He passed laws that most people in that street didn’t like, but there were also those that were crossdressing against their will; and these people happily welcomed the change by burning their bras and panties in the middle of the streets. And they washed the makeup off their faces and put on pants proudly. In just a matter of two hours, the story of Balaam’s defeat and his servants being freed from their wicked habits quickly spread to other streets. More than Jim’s name, Ronny’s name was widely spread this time. At the same time, the floor manager also released three bounty posters. Doug the Daddy Dog (Dead or Alive): Twenty gold coins. Hero Jim (Dead or Alive): 500 go
Joker and Ace began to leave Ronny Street.“How did it go, Lord?” Ace asked him. He looked more tense than curious.Joker smiled somewhat pleasantly. “A hero really is different from the rest. He said he’ll take us to the third floor with him if he likes us. Can you imagine that?” He laughed a bit strangely. “We probably live in the most selfish place in the world, where anybody can betray anyone. Fathers can betray their own children, and lovers can stab each other in the back just to survive. Forget about climbing the dungeon together, even sharing a meal is a rare sight in this dungeon. In all these years that I’ve been here, nobody has ever said such an outrageous thing like he said.”“You think he’ll be the one to defeat Jeremy?” Ace wondered.“Jeremy? He set his heights on something much greater,” Joker said.“You mean the guardian?” Ace shook his head. “There’s no way anybody can defeat that monster. Even for Hero Jim, it’s impossible. He’s not him.”“We’ll see,” Joker said. “T
Jim was watching the street from a rooftop. There were men cutting fish and cooking out in the open. They were not following any clean guidelines, so Jim was revolted by their lack of chef’s etiquette. “Do you know what’s the worst thing I’ve seen in the kitchen?”[Nope.] Joe said.“One of the assistant chefs that worked under my dad had the habit of farting in the cooking bowls,” Jim said. “When we noticed that on camera, we asked her why she did it repeatedly. You know what she answered?”[How would I know?]“She said her farts added unique flavor to the dishes,” Jim said, gritting his teeth. “She didn’t even apologize for what she did. My dad obviously fired her, but she tried to defame us afterward. I still find it hard to believe such shameless people exist.”Just then, a big rat climbed onto the rooftop and approached Jim.Jim glanced at the rat and noticed that it was carrying a tiny bag. “Is that rat carrying a bomb?” His natural instinct was to move away from the rat.[I don’
Jim, Doug, and Ronny were all sitting in the liger chariot, which was traveling slowly.“Nexa Lubavitch,” Doug read information about the lord of Lollipop Street. “She’s well known for sucking men dry, both physically and emotionally. However, she’s also known to recruit strong women over to her side, which she calls Dark Hood. She has seven capable villains working under her, whom she calls Seven Shadows. All of them are strong enough to compete with low-ranked villain lords of other streets.”“As expected of a fifth-ranked villain,” Ronny said. “She’s got quite the intimidation factor to her.”“Everybody avoids her, including Balaam. But I heard she’s got one weakness,” Doug said. “She’s vulnerable to lollipops, or so they say.”“That’s probably a facade,” Jim opined. “It must be her way to get lollipops brought over to her so she can not only freely eat lollipops but also take captive the men that come to her.”“Killing two birds with one stone, huh…” Doug looked quite surprised. “
“If you don’t like it, then you can turn back,” Melina blurted in a piercingly chilly tone.“I think I already told you that I’m here to buy sweets,” Jim replied calmly, his voice like the still waters in the middle of the ocean. “We came all this way, and you want to send us empty-handed? Is this the etiquette of Lollipop Street?”“Let us buy some sweets at least,” Doug quickly said. “We promise that we won’t cause any trouble.”“Don’t make me repeat myself,” Melina brought her tongue out, which stretched forth over twenty feet and almost touched Doug’s face, scaring the crap out of him.As Jim tried to catch her tongue, she pulled it back into her mouth.“W-What was that?” Doug’s heart was still in his mouth. “Her tongue? I didn’t know they could stretch it like that. Can all the women in this street do that?”“Not all, but some of us can do it,” Melina said, grinning rather amusedly. “Why? Are you interested in seeing what we can do with this tongue?” she asked, flirting with her e
