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
Many years ago, one of the competitors of Drake’s restaurant sent food inspectors to get the restaurant items inspected all of a sudden.They claimed that they received reports of the restaurant mixing hallucinogenic drugs in minute quantities in the foods they made, which was causing the customers some issues in their daily lives. This was a big claim.Of course, they found nothing of the sort in the food or in the restaurant.However, Jim’s dad, Marcus, had to go to the court to sue the food inspectors and also to file a petition on the people he believed had tried to defame him. In the end, Marcus didn’t manage to win the case as the opposition was quite rich.Back then, Marcus removed the desserts from the menu for almost three months until he was proven innocent. This caused many customers to lose some of their trust in the restaurant.Marcus felt frustrated, so he talked with Jim and told him how to be very careful with the business when he wasn’t around. He told him that the cu
Only after Doug chewed and swallowed the sweet, Jim noticed it.“What are you doing?” Jim quickly stepped toward him and punched him in the gut, hard enough to make him cough blood. Because Jim put energy into his fist, it caused disturbance in Doug’s stomach. Doug felt discomfort for a little while before he vomited everything that was in his stomach.“What the fuck?” The shopkeeper and the other two women shouted, no, screamed, as if they stepped on poop. Clearly, they did not like what they were seeing.“H-How can you vomit in my shop?” the shopkeeper fumed. “So many droplets fell on the sweets! You better pay for all these!”“W-What?” Doug was shocked. “H-How much are we talking about?”“Five gold, at least!” the shopkeeper said.“Alright,” Ronny used his digital ID to pay the amount pretty quickly, leaving the women surprised. They didn’t know that Ronny and others were rich enough to pay five gold like it was nothing. And so their expressions reverted to being friendly again.Th
