The temperature in the cramped room seemed to drop. Peter's eyes chilled as he glared at the men rushing towards him.Peter could feel the powerful aura coming from the men around him.He could tell they wouldn't be easy opponents.All the three men had a large build coupled with an innate heavy aura that made them evoke fear from anyone around them.Peter however remained standing with his hands behind his back as the men attacked him.He quickly blocked off a punch from one of the men then threw a kick to another but he dodged it.They fought calculatively, Peter realized. He hadn't needed to make much of an effort when fighting Zane at the university's fighting grounds, he hadn't exerted effort at all with Harry's men, but these three seemed like they would be quite difficult to fend off.However, all he could feel was a rush of excitement flowing through him. It would be great to finally fight with worthy opponents.Pulling up his sleeves, Peter took a fighting stance.The air i
"Does it matter who I am?" Peter looked unhurt, the kick he had received just a while ago that had sent him crashing against the door should have made his insides coil and render him unable to even stand.However he wasn't just standing but had also been able to fight and beat Tigerclaw.The man gaped at Peter with astonishment.'This can't be, only one person can have that ability.'"Please, tell me who you are!" The arrogance had disappeared from Tigerclaw's face as he asked with a tinge of desperation in his voice.Peter frowned suspiciously.Why was this man looking at him like that? Could it be he had showed a little too much of his power and revealed his system?Peter knew that the system he possessed was ultimate power.Not just did it give him wealth beyond compare but it gave him a kind of power that other people didn't possess, if the system's existence got revealed to the world lot of people would come for him.Power was great but also very dangerous, he had to protect the
Peter stepped out of the car without a word and began walking up the steps into the residential area.Billy's father also followed along."Pete, though this money is a lot, it won't be enough for such a grand place. How about we drive back downtown and pick a more affordable living space." The man suggested.Peter wasn't from this city, so he had probably mistaken the pricing of the Lakeview exclusive residences. Houses here were stacked according to grades. A grade one residence was priced at about ten million and above. And a grade ten residence could be priced at a few hundred thousands.But regardless of that each house here was extremely pricy.Having lost almost everything, the small family wouldn't be able to afford such a high standard of living, they'd much rather go back to a familiar place. "Yes Peter, you don't have to trouble yourself, since you and Billy still have a long journey back to Landville you can just leave my husband and I to go house hunting, we're very fam
Peter blinked a few times wondering if he had heard her right.Everyone present widened their eyes staring at the woman in unexpected shock.A few of the guards behind the woman awkwardly cleared their throats.'Can you be less embarrassing? You were just insulting the guy a second ago and now you're smitten by him?''Isn't this guy at least a few years younger than you are? Are you seeking a man or a little pet?' The woman however seemed unbothered by all the strange stares circulating around her.She continued to stare at Peter with interest shining in her eyes."What do you say, do you agree?"Peter came back to his senses, his face suddenly became hot in embarrassment.What did this woman mean by becoming her little kept man?"I'm sorry, go find someone else." Saying this Peter quickly walked away.He felt extremely uncomfortable at how the woman was staring at him like a delicious treat ready to be devoured. What was this sudden change of situation? He would much rather she rem
Peter frowned unable to understand how his card could have been declined."Can you please try it again one more time?" He asked the young assistant.Margaret Roberts chuckled shaking her head, "Don't fool yourself young man, you were just playing hard to get with me by playing this facade. They sell a black card sticker at cheap stores for people who want to go around showing off and claiming to be wealthy. This card won't work even if it was tried ten times." Peter didn't reply waiting for the assistant to swipe the card again.The young assistant entered the numbers and swiped the card once more, a big red cancel sign showed on the screen along with some words underneath.She glanced up at Peter awkwardly."Sir, there aren't enough sufficient funds on this card." The agent frowned, "Sir, did you come here claiming to buy a house without having enough money for it? My time is extremely precious, I could have attended to many other clients but you have completely wasted my time." P
All the men rushed forth surrounding him and caging him in the middle."Com with us quietly and we won't harm you." One of the men instructed.Peter massaged his temple, it seemed he would have to take care of another set of people."And if I refuse to come with you?" He asked."We'll just have to follow instructions and force you." "Fine, I'd like to see you try." Billy's father suddenly stepped forward, "Please let's not use violence. Madam, we haven't offended you in any way, can you please let us go?" Billy's father was grateful that Peter had lended them assistance when they needed it, he had even bought them an unbelievably huge mansion to live in, he couldn't just stand around and watch Peter get bullied by someone else now.Margaret frowned in displeasure, "Who is this insolent fool? Shut him up for me!" She yelled an order to her men.One of them men raised his hand and tried to grab Billy's father but Peter stopped him in time throwing him a punch that sent him spiralling
Peter scanned the three people in front of him again, feeling confused he sighed. "Take all three of them back with us." Peter instructed Harry."What? But boss I thought you were looking for one guy called Jonathan, why are you taking all three of them. And look at that old man, he looks like he already has one leg in the grave." Harry pointed out.Peter glared at him and he quickly feel silent then yelled to his men, "You guys get these people in Boss's car immediately." After giving that instruction, Harry chuckled awkwardly then said, "Boss, all our men won't fit into your car, should we take a bus and meet you in Landville?" "A bus?" Peter asked."Yes boss, there are over twenty of us.""No need, we'll all drive back to Landville."Harry opened his mouth and stared at Peter's car then his eyes lit up as if he suddenly had an idea."Ah, I know!" He turned to his men and called,"You, you and you, stuff yourselves in the boss's trunk so there'll be space in the car for the rest.
*Ding**Chain quest two completed, chain quest three unlocked.**Would host like to accept or reject quest?*Peter sighed.Everything about the system was indeed a mystery, he was now sure that the old man definitely wasn't an ordinary person."Accept quest."He definitely wanted to uncover the mysteries of the system. *Recruit ten B rank fighters.**Time frame for quest completion: 120 hours.*Peter frowned contemplatively.A hundred and twenty hours was exactly five days.He had assumed this third quest would be linked to strange and unknown people again, but it seemed completely random.Peter had heard that martial arts was divided into ranks and grades, but he wasn't fully versed about how the grades worked, however the moment he thought about that, the information began to flow into his mind as if it had been there all along.As if he'd had that knowledge all along.Fighters in martial arts were divided into ranks first, then grew up to grades. A rank A fighter was the lowest a
