"Well well, fresh meat! Boss, let's take her to a motel, I'm dying for a woman. Look at that body and face - I'm hard just watching her. I ain't had a woman for ages, let me enjoy this one good!" A punk with dyed green hair leered crudely at Bella, as if ready to grab her with just a nod from the boss.Three Blades ogled lustfully too. They had indeed sampled countless women, but never one as flawless as Bella. That face, that figure - she seemed divinely sculpted in perfect proportions. Her pitiable look especially - it maddeningly tantalized them. Three Blades cuffed his underling's head. "Keep your filthy thoughts to yourself, pigface! How dare you speak that way before this lady? We are civilized gentlemen here. A gentleman is cultured and charming to attract fair maidens, not a brutish buffoon like you. No wonder you can't get a girl, boorish fool! You're doomed to eternal bachelorhood!"After dressing down his man, Three Blades preened pretentiously, primping his hair into an a
The terrified girls screamed and huddled in the corner, pale and shaken. But the lackeys weren't done. One thug swung a baseball bat at Justin's leg with force enough to cripple a normal man. But for Justin, it was child's play.With a grappling hand, he grasped the thug's wrist and twisted it into an unnatural, impossible position. A sickening crack rang out as the bones snapped. The gangster let out a bloodcurdling squeal as his hand contorted into a gnarled knot behind his back. Though the hand itself remained intact, the tendons and joints were ravaged.Such excruciating pain was more than most could endure. The thug's face drained of color. Beads of sweat streamed down his forehead and he nearly fainted from the agony. His eyes glazed over, almost driven mad by the torture. Justin shoved the man forward into the flurry of fists from the other gangsters. Blow after blow rained down, battering his face until it swelled up like a pig's head.Then, one punk seized the chance to smas
Seeing the flustered assassin's hasty exit, Justin had to stifle a laugh. Though Blood Wolf called himself a subordinate, Justin regarded him as a brother. Witnessing his awkward behavior now sparked an idea in Justin's mind - perhaps it was time to play matchmaker and find Blood Wolf a woman to thaw his frozen heart.But that was a matter for later. The girls had gone to change, leaving Justin boredly flipping channels until a news report caught his interest. Sunshine Orphanage, the city's largest, was being sold off due to financial troubles.The plight of the parentless children struck a chord in Justin. The orphanage had been doing well just a couple years ago - why the sudden downturn?"Master has triggered a quest," intoned the System. "Take over Sunshine Orphanage and resolve its difficulties. Quest completion condition: all children thank Master. Time limit: one week. Rewards: 100 Prestige Points. Failure: one year deducted from lifespan."The System sure was getting stricter,
Justin was tearfully frustrated. "God, just tell me straight, I don't have time for riddles. What is this method? Speak up, her life's at stake!"The System let out a mocking laugh before pontificating, "Master could channel his yang energy into the girl to counter her yin energy. With the System's pills remodeling your physique into a pure yang body, only your yang essence can suppress her yin. This will save her.""Alright, I'll do it now!" Justin dared not delay. He placed his palm on Sarah's back, sending a scorching heat into her body. Sarah's body shuddered at the searing energy. In turn, her icy aura made Justin tremble, chattering his teeth. Damn, it was freezing! But he persevered through the bone-piercing chill. As expected, it seemed to be working. With more yang flowing in, color returned to Sarah's face in a blushing glow that made her irresistible.After about an hour, Justin finally balanced the yin and yang within Sarah. Drenched in sweat and pale with exhaustion, he
When finished, Justin dragged the man back to the trampled skewers. In the same icy tone: "Pick up. Eat."The brute wept in frustration. He had only sent some men here to collect fees. Expecting easy money, instead they encountered a psycho. Usually able to handle three to five men alone, against this boy he was helpless as a chick.With burning, throbbing pain from the beating, he no longer dared act tough. Like a dog, he pleaded piteously, "I'm wrong, I'll never waste food again, please, give me a chance, don't make me eat them!"He gagged at the filthy, spit-covered skewers. No, he couldn't possibly ingest them - it would cost him his life. Retching violently, his bitter vomit mingled with the mess, the stench making everyone grimace in disgust. Some weaker stomachs even threw up, compounding the nauseating odor."Swallow your puke too. No one leaves until this floor's licked clean!" Justin snarled, smashing the man's head down again, breaking his nose in a gush of red that dripped
"What are you doing? Get up, I'm not dead yet. Why are you kneeling to me?"At this, Bella shot him an exasperated sideways glance and helped Sarah to stand."Sir, thank you for curing my illness and driving away those thugs. You are my benefactor and I should kneel to express my gratitude," Sarah replied.As she moved to kneel again, Justin quickly stopped her."Please, do not kneel to me. You are Bella's friend, and our meeting today was fated. Had Bella not brought me here, I would not have been able to save you. So please, no more thanks. Although I must say your kebabs are sublime - truly exceptional! When I get a craving in the future, I'll come back for more. You'll give me a discount, yes?""Don't worry, sir. Whenever you want to eat here, just come over. I'll provide to your heart's content, free of charge.""Wonderful, I do love free food and drink. It's a bargain I can't resist."With a laugh, Justin diffused the awkward tension. But then Sarah sighed,"I'm afraid I won't b
"Bring a car here right away. I need to get to Hospital No. 1. Someone's in trouble and I have to help. Hurry, there's no time to waste.""On my way, sir!"Wasting no time, Kyle leapt out of bed, threw on some clothes, and raced over in the Audi Justin had gifted him.The group rushed to the hospital in Kyles' car. The girls wore worried expressions while Justin repeatedly urged Kyle to drive faster.Knowing his boss' urgency, Kyle channeled the spirit of Takumi Fujiwara on Mt. Akina, blazing through red lights without hesitation. The normal half hour trip took just over ten minutes.At the hospital, Justin accompanied the girls inside while Kyle stayed behind to rest, completely drained from the most intense drive of his life. Understanding it was an exceptional situation, Justin didn't press him further.At the nurses' station, they asked about the patient's status but were ignored. The nurse responded coldly, "She'll be fine. First pay the balance due, already late for days. We'll
Justin conceded the point. He ordered Blood Wolf to hurry up. Finally, the blows rained down. With each swing of the chart, the woman's face swelled further until the other side was also grotesquely disfigured. She crashed to the floor, blood pouring from her mouth, babbling incoherently through broken teeth. The flimsy medical chart was reduced to scraps of paper swirling through the air.Her anguished squeals carried far through the hospital, rousing families keeping vigil. "Who's making this racket? Let a man rest!"Justin ignored them as Blood Wolf continued his methodical beating, trading spent charts for fresh ones, ceaselessly hammering the woman's face.At first she screamed like a stuck pig, but soon lacked the strength, consumed by waves of agony. She desperately wished to lose consciousness but somehow remained awake.Never had the imperious nurse suffered such humiliation. She mentally catalogued every offense to unleash her brother on them later.Meanwhile, Justin's grou
