My Reality-Changing System

Chapter 8 Feeling Unacceptable

Ashton's words made Marcus change his mind. The man previously thought that Ashton was a fool, but now he understood that his actions had a hidden intention.

Marcus understood that Ashton was a man just like him. He assumed that Zara must have seduced Ashton, like the habit of rich men who want inner satisfaction.

It might be good for the company if Zara can win Ashton's heart, but certainly not for Marcus. The man has already targeted Zara for a solo taste.

Since Marcus understood Ashton's intentions, he could not let that happen. The man didn't care about the company; he would be more concerned with his lustful desires.

Ashton himself was staring at Zara, who was shocked. Ashton knew that the girl was now wandering in her heart.

It was just that Zara's expression changed instantly. Ashton realised she must have taken his attitude the same way Marcus would.

The man could see Zara's mood swings. The woman showed a resentful attitude where every boss or client she worked with always wanted to feel her body. But Zara had no choice this time; the contract rules bound her.

Ashton saw Zara start to look at him a little differently. She started acting more feminine because she thought this was the only way to get her work done. Zara believes spending time with Ashton is not as bad as with Marcus.

This girl looks more in form now. She strengthened her heart to sit down and talk to Ashton again. But this was opposed by Marcus, who is Zara's senior.

"Zara, you are a junior subordinate of mine, so I suggest you stand up immediately and follow me out of here. If you don't comply, don't blame me if you get a warning letter from the office."

Ashton looked at Marcus, who was angry. The man didn't even care if Ashton was a rich man. Marcus would get what he wanted if he could take advantage of his position.

Zara was now backed into a corner; she thought that Marcus would support her, but the man instead left her confused. The girl immediately stood up and threw a look between Ashton and Marcus.

But Ashton, who did not want to be outdone, immediately approached and grabbed Zara's hand. He said, "Zara, wait,"

Ashton, who hadn't finished his speech, threw an intimate look at Zara so that they looked at each other. But because of the sudden punch, Ashton was unconsciously thrown.

BUCK!

Ashton had just staggered back as Marcus, who had lost his temper, kicked Ashton hard.

"Zara, what are you waiting for?" Marcus bullied Zara, which made the girl feel helpless.

The fallen Ashton touched the corner of his slightly bleeding lip. The man was now getting annoyed. He muttered, "Fuck! His punch was quite painful. My body is really weak. If I had good body protection, I would have been able to get back at that guy."

Ashton was disappointed that he could not rely on his skills as a rich man. If a criminal infiltrated his mansion and attacked him with a knife or a gun, then it was clear that Ashton would not breathe again tomorrow.

[Sir, you're overreacting. Did you forget that you just received martial arts skills? You just need to install it and become a great fighter.]

The sound of the system brought Ashton to his senses. He now felt like he had hope for a duel with Marcus.

Ashton immediately took to the system panel menu and then went through the process of installing his new abilities. He also thought, "System, I'll leave the rest to you."

[All right, I'll help prepare everything. Installing the martial arts expert's ability. Please maintain consciousness throughout the process]

Instantly, Ashton braced himself as he closed his eyes and held his posture to his consciousness. His body felt like being skinned alive, but then every nerve and muscle in Ashton's body seemed to be stimulated.

Suddenly, all the world's skills and knowledge about all types of martial arts began to come to Ashton.

[10% 20% 30% 40% 50%]

"Aaarghhh." Ashton silenced his mouth as he felt an electric shock run through his body.

[60% 70% 80% 90% 100%]

"Fuck!" the sound of Ashton's scream seemed unbearable. The man felt the most unbearable pain using the system features.

Ashton's body was now emitting smoke as if he had just exercised intensely without stopping. All the skills of a martial arts expert were now installed into him. His mind felt clearer than before.

[Congratulations] The martial arts expert skills installation process has been completed. You are now a great fighter. Please continue to hone this skill to become more proficient and use it in the right way."]

After completing the process, Ashton smiled widely; he even laughed amusedly when he found out what he could do. Ashton's fate will only get brighter.

"Very well, with this ability, I can defend and protect myself well from now on," Ashton said proudly.

When Ashton took a step and looked at his reflection in the mirror, he felt a drastic change in his body composition. Ashton looked more muscular with a tall and stout posture. Even his face is more symmetrical and more handsome than before.

With the skills of a medical expert and a martial arts expert, Ashton can practice many techniques that are no longer common, even though some knowledge has disappeared. Ashton also obtained some details about the abilities of a legendary urban man.

A much stronger and confident Ashton decided to quickly catch up with Marcus and Zara, who had already left. He was sure that the two were still on the front lawn.

"Sir, aww, let go of me; it hurts. Please let go of my hand," Zara said, whimpering in pain.

"Never mind! Don't complain so much. You're being too spoilt for a girl with a brave image," Marcus snorted coldly, but the man was startled as he turned his head and saw the silhouette of the figure he had just knocked off.

"Impossible! How can you stand up as if nothing happened?" Marcus and Zara were surprised to see Ashton standing up and catching up with them quickly.

They even murmured, thinking, "Wasn't this man already lying limp there? How can he be here?"

Ashton emphatically said, "Asshole! Do you think you can leave my mansion easily after your disrespectful behaviour towards me?"

Ashton stepped forward and showed a sharp aura as if he could finish Marcus off at any moment. The man began to feel frightened and walked backwards on his own. Marcus seemed to be facing someone very different compared to before.
