A lamp on the ceiling shone brightly illuminating the entire room. It was the first thing Zen saw when she woke up. The soft bed he slept on was starting to feel uncomfortable to him--itchy, since he hadn't showered in a while. Sweat full of bacteria clung to his skin making it itchy and sticky.She got up and sat sideways from the bed. His hands and face had recovered thanks to the regenerator serum injected into him shortly after the fight was over.Zen took a deep breath and then exhaled with a sigh, he recalled yesterday's incident, when he surrendered and declared that James won.Zen chuckled and said softly, "How stupid of me."Zen had never lost to anyone before. He always made it through every challenge without any injuries. However, the duel with James was a new experience for him. The first time he recognized someone's strength and wanted to give up on him.Actually, the last time when fighting James, Zen had run out of energy and ideas. Zen didn't know why Michelle didn't s
Zen chuckled at James' overly innocent face seeing that many weapons on the wall. With a dismissive smile he said to James arrogantly, "Don't you owe me a thank you? If I hadn't stopped you while you were trying to escape, your body would have had many holes in it before it reached the surface."Zen's words were true, but her frivolous smile made James reluctant to give her thanks. He did not like Zen's arrogance that he still maintained even after yesterday's battle. Even that sense of comfort was reflected on James' bitterly smiling face.Instead of feeling reluctant, Zen became even more arrogant. He pointed at James' forehead and said, "If I wanted to, I would have rotted this part during the fight yesterday. You still suck so bad. If I hadn't taken pity on you yesterday, you probably would have tried to escape again and become a corpse dumped out there."James slapped Zen's hand away, he really didn't like Zen's attitude. James didn't know what Zen's purpose was in saying that, b
The walk down the sewer was an experience in itself for James. There were several times he wanted to vomit because the sewer had a very unpleasant odor. However, when he showed his weak side, Zen always mocked him so James was reluctant to show his weak side in front of the man in the white robe.After about 20 minutes of walking, James saw a beam of light at the end of the hallway. The exit was near. He intended to run towards the light. He was already uncomfortable with the stench in the sewer.Before James had taken one step, the back collar of his robe was pulled by Zen, making him unable to move forward. Suddenly James was surprised by his body suddenly being pulled."What are you doing?" James turned his head in annoyance.Zen threw a small bottle at James. James reflexively caught the bottle and looked at it. It was perfume."Huh? You just gave me this? You should have given it to me earlier, I'm tortured by the smell of this sewer water!" protested James.Zen clucked his mouth
"Huh?" James furrowed his brow. His brain didn't seem to want to work. Panic overwhelmed his brain's ability to see things from multiple perspectives. James was overthinking.Zen recognized this symptom, this was the result of James' lack of socialization, he became unable to decide things quickly and precisely.Zen finally raised his hand and slapped the innocent man. James was shocked and held his reddened cheeks.Zen sternly exclaimed, "Pull yourself together, James! You've had one chance to help your parents! Make the most of it! Don't regret it!"James clenched his palms, realizing that his indecision would only make things worse. He needed to make a good decision for everything to go smoothly.James finally composed himself, "Alright, captain. Let's get it over with!""Good decision!" replied Zen as he began to pace. James followed Zen beside him.On their way, there were a lot of people walking on the highway. If it was the old days, James would have felt that it was not unusua
The man named Ricardo Starling or commonly called Rico was shocked beyond belief. It was the first time he heard that Zen was defeated by someone in a duel. Zen has a reputation as number one and has never been defeated, of course Rico did not believe what James said.Because he was so shocked, Rico took two steps back after hearing James' statement. He turned to look at the man in the mask who was inspecting the motorcycle. Rico still couldn't believe it, "You beat that guy?"James realized that his words could make people misunderstand and think that James was very strong. But that wasn't the case. He patted Rico's shoulder frantically, "No, it's more like he gave up when he fought me. I won because he took pity on me."Instead of believing it, Rico shook his head, "No, no. That's not possible. I know very well how rough Zen can be when he is fighting. He has very strong fighting techniques even without using his superpowers. He must be just messing with you. When he fought you, he
Tania stood up and ran down the stairs as fast as she could. Then she screamed as she ran from the house."MONSTER! MONSTER! THERE'S A MONSTER HERE!"The monster woman didn't chase her, instead she chuckled at Tania's frightened behavior when she saw her. She laughed so much that she felt that Tania would be a great entertainment.A man ran hurriedly to the second floor, then entered the woman's room. He was not the least bit surprised when he saw the woman in her hideous form. Fiery red eyes stared at the man. Slowly the monster returned to the form of a naked woman again.The man grunted in relief after seeing her return to human form. He leaned his arm against one side of the door, "It's you, Lory. How dare you deliberately reveal your form to humans. You will definitely be punished by the chairman."Lory narrowed her eyes looking fiercely at the man named Jose. Instead of putting on clothes, the beautiful woman walked out of the room and looked at the people below. They were all s
Rico got out of his car and ran into the house. His breathing was ragged as he ran past several pieces of furniture to his room."Tania!" he shouted as he entered the room. There was no one in the room.Rico became nervous and couldn't think straight. He was about to look for where Tania was, but his eyes fell on a small stain on the floor."Blood?" he said when he saw a black blob the size of an ant on the floor. Rico could recognize the stain because he could see very small things clearly. He got this ability two years ago in an unknown way. However, with this ability Rico can see the details of automotive components and become a great mechanic.Using this power, Rico also knows the details of Tania's body from head to toe, including very small things.Seeing the blood stains, Rico looked around again. He could see some blood splatters on the wall that were almost gone. He carefully approached the wall and looked more carefully using his eyes. Those eyes were so focused that they co
It couldn't be helped that the strange feeling of seeing a severed human body in front of his eyes made Rico go silent. The unnatural discovery made all his blood rush to his head and his breath hitched to the end of his throat. Unable to hold it in, Rico felt extremely nauseous. He vomited to the side.Rico vomited a lot, but only water came out. This was because he had only been drinking alcohol since yesterday. The smell of vomit instantly spread in the room and made Tania furious. She stood up instantly, unconsciously knocking over a chair. She snapped, "What are you doing, Rico? You've had an affair and now you're puking in front of me? You want to get into trouble with me?"Rico clenched his hands into fists, trying his best to hold back the disgust and horror of the ear piece. However, from his magnifying glass-like vision, that ear did belong to Tania. There was no mistaking it. No one but Rico could recognize the black spot.Rico turned to Tania, he found Tania's eyes burnin
