After breakfast with the Mick Family, Drew headed towards the Medicine Refinement room he had used the previous day to brew the antidote for Mr. Mick's Sun Curse.
When he arrived there, he was met with the sight of packaged boxes neatly arranged. These were the ingredients that he had requested from Loveth the previous day. "Let's get to work" he cracked his knuckles as he took in a deep breath before he began opening the packaged boxes. . . When Boss Jay exited his mansion, he was met with a shocking sight. Lying around helplessly were his underlings And the most scary part was that they were all bleeding from the severe injuries they had on their body. The whole premises of the mansion plunged into silence. The only thing that could be sensed in the air was the strong iron smell of blood as well as deep resentment. "So you are the boss of this place?" a baritone voice broke the silence at that moment, causing Boss Jay to tilt his head towards the direction from where the voice came. The one who had spoken was a slim man clad in red combat jump suit with his hair styled in a pony tail. His eyes were filled with immense coldness and a toothpick was trapped in between his lips. Behind him were twenty five others dressed in the same get up as him, well excluding the tooth pick... However judging from the way he carried himself, Boss Jay was quick to guess the he was the leader of the opposition gang, as well as the one responsible for the current state of his subordinates. However, Boss Jay didn't carelessly attack. Instead, he cautiously sized up the other party. "Who are you?" he asked. "Hehehehe. Since you care so much, I'll reveal the identity of the boss to you!" one of the gangsters stepped forward, his face beaming with pride. "Our Boss is named Mario Brown. However he is known as the Shadow Viper. You should prostrate yourself before the boss and swear your allegiance to him while you've got the chance!" Hearing the other party's arrogant words, Boss Jay's expression exploded with rage. Swear allegiance?! keep dreaming! "Hmph. Shadow Viper? never heard of you" he scoffed contemptuously. Naturally his scornful remark caused a frown to appear on Mario Brown's lips. However another one of his underlings was swift to jump into his defense. "You bastard! you can only blame your ignorance for not hearing about the Boss great reputation!" Dropping this sentence, the Thug who had spoken rushed forward, throwing a punch at Boss Jay's direction. Boom! The punch not only came with intense speed, but also packed a lot of destructive strength. As it moved, it blasted apart the air in its path. No doubt if it landed on the body of a regular human, they would explode into blood mist instantly. However in the face of such an attack, Boss Jay smirked. Perhaps if it was the him of the past he would've been completely helpless. But after his meeting with Drew, his whole life changed! Just when the punch was a few inches from reaching his face, he finally made his move as he casually swung his hand. Pah! The sound of a crisp slap rang shortly after as the gangster flew backward, crashing roughly on the ground. "You bastard!" the gangster who had been slapped flying by Boss Jay, roared furiously as he stood up on his feets, holding onto his cheeks which was now currently beet red and swollen. "I'm going to fvcking kill you!" He roared furiously as he attempted to get up and have his revenge. He was a peak Decimus ranker! he was the one who always did the smacking. How could he tolerate such an embarrassing loss?! "Hmph. If you want another sweet smack on your cheek, then please be my guest. Though I can't guarantee if you'd be able to survive the next one" Boss Jay grinned as his confidence got bolstered up after he saw the way he had easily dealt with the other party. A week ago, Drew had given him a strange potion and had him drink it. According to Drew, the potion could increase the potency of his martial energy, increasing his cultivation. However due to how weak Boss Jay's cultivation was at that moment, he spent six days refining the potion he had drank within him. It was only the previous night that he had managed to completely refine it and successfully reached the Octavus Rank! This was the first time testing his current strength and if he were to be honest, it felt damn good! With his current strength, he was now confident that he could dominate the underworld of Delta City without breaking a sweat. "You bastard!" in the face of Boss Jay's mocking words, the gangster attempted to rush towards him. But just when he wanted to, he felt a strong grip on his arm, pulling him back. Lo and behold it was his boss ; Shadow Viper. "Boss?!" the gangster was slightly surprised. "So you are Boss Jay?" Mario Brown finally spoke out, a glint filled with interest flashing past in his eyes. "Yeah? and do you have a problem with that?" Boss Jay scoffed arrogantly, letting his momentary victory to get into his head. "Heh. You are stronger than I had imagined you'd be" Mario Brown chuckled lightly before tearing his gaze off Boss Jay. "Let's go" he turned towards his underlings. Although they appeared reluctant, they still followed his lead. And so, they mounted the truck they brought along which then drove off. All this while, Boss Jay silently watched them leave. Although he had the urge to interfere with their retreat, his instincts warned him not to. Somehow he felt that if he pushed his luck even a bit further, he was going to regret it. Although he found this feeling confusing, he had been a delinquent right from his youth. As such, he had grown to trust in his instincts. "I need to inform Boss!" he frowned, unfortunately he didn't bring his phone along. Glancing towards the few subordinate behind him who were uninjured, he instructed them to rush the injured straight to the hospital so they could receive immediate medical attention."Interesting. Did the young man really say that?" "Indeed father. And the most surprising fact is that he's so young. If I am not mistaken, he isn't past his mid twenties.. do you think he's the main deal or he was merely shooting off his mouth?" Currently inside a large study room, Old Man Benson and his Daughter; Loveth, sat together, occupying the only sofa in the study. Loveth had just finished recounting her meeting with Drew to her father. She wanted to seek his guidance on the matter. "What do you think?" Old Man Benson smiled as he asked his daughter of her opinion. "I really don't know whether I should believe him or not. After all from his words, he was hinting that he was going to brew the 'amazing product' " "But he's just too young. There's no way he can match up to Medicine Priest Harland's expertise which has been honed through many years of experience.." "But some how, my instincts keeps telling me to trust him" she sighed. "So that means this is a conflict be
"How long was I out?" Drew mumbled as he got up from the cold tiles glancing at the Jade bottle which was lying beside him. After brewing the medicine, he became so exhausted that he decided to take a nap to replenish his lost energy. However the nap ended up becoming a really long sleep. Picking up the jade bottle, he uncorked it and smiled in satisfaction when he saw the slightly purplish liquid inside. "I just have to hand this over to Loveth. I wonder what her reaction is going to be like when she learns of it's uses" he grinned, while carefully tucking the jade bottle inside his pocket. Leaving the refining room, he just happened to bump into Rosalie, clad in a school uniform. "Hm?" Rosalie's brows jumped in joy when she saw Drew. "You finally came out!" she beamed. "How long did I spend inside?" Drew inquired. "Two days. Big sis become worried and wanted to check up on you, however Mother forbade her from doing so. She was afraid that we would interfere with what you w
"Eh?" Drew stared at the other party, unable to understand why she was rejecting him from meeting up with Loveth. "May I ask the reason why?" he asked. "Well, you are probably not from this city so you might not know this. This building is just one of the storehouses owned by Silver Eagles Auction House. It was only used to host the auction event days ago. After that, Madame Loveth returned back to the head office of Silver Eagles Auction House. I am the Manager of this store house. My name is Patricia Holmes" the chubby lady revealed. "Oh, I didn't know that" Drew nodded in understanding. "So where exactly is the headquarters located?".. "The young master called for me?" Currently inside a large balcony, a youngster sat comfortably on a throne like chair, sipping merrily from the glass of wine being fed to him by a female clad in scanty clothing. At his other side was another scantily dressed female feeding him chips while another scantily dressed female was was huddled in
Giving Drew one long look like as if trying to read what was going on in his mind, Loveth collected the jade bottle from him before proceeding to uncork it. And when she did, the whole office became encased in a thick but rich pleasant scent. "This.. This is herbal adorant!" Her eyes lit up in amazement. Although she wasn't a Divine Physician herself, as the manager of Silver Eagles Auction House, it was only natural that she'd be in the company of a few Divine Physicians once in a while. She had even watched some of them brew medicines and according to them, only highest grade medicines could emit a wonderful scent in the air, called adorant. "Looks like you are well informed" Drew chuckled, while inwardly feeling shocked. After all, it was only after he had upgraded the skill *Ancient Shamanic Medicine* to the max did he finally knew what adorant meant in the field of medicine. "Judging by the intensity of the adorant being emitted.. this is a high quality medicine. Were y
"Why won't you accept the business proposal? I mean.. it would be in your favor right? you'd have the chance to forge a relationship with my master. Don't tell me you are the short sighted kind of person" this time, Drew no longer sounded confident as his palm became sweaty. "I know that. But if you keep on acting like you have all the winning cards in your pocket, then I'd have to decline. Don't think you can fool me. This is most likely a test given to you by your master so he won't be involved in it unless he sees tangible results. Isn't that right?" Loveth scoffed. "Uhhmm. R-Right " Drew nodded awkwardly. "Well, I think I would be able to improvise then. I'll accept your business proposals " "Really?" hearing that the other party had accepted, Drew's eyes sprang up with joy. With the full support of Silver Eagle Auction House, it would only be a matter of time before he dominates the Herbal market of North Heights. However Loveth's next words dampened his short termed exc
"Milk delivery!" Drew's bicyckle bell jingled as he parked at a dilapidated house. His expression scrunched up. How could such an apartment exist in this present world? It was made of brown worn out bricks. Apart from the wooden door, the walls were cleaved apart. "Come in!" an old voice replied. "Uh, okay" Drew checked the GPS on his watch. He was sure this was the place where the customer who ordered milk stayed. Hoisting up a packet of milk from the basket on tied to the bicycle, he walked briskly towards the apartment. Bang! He gave the door a gentle push. But accidently, it flew out of the door pane. "Sheesh!" Drew bit his tongue. "It's okay. It's been a long time since we had visitors" the apartment occupant laughed. He was an old man dressed in tank tops, bermuda shorts and a fisher man hat. He was seated on a stool, steering tea in the cup he held. "I brought your milk" Drew flashed the milk. A gentle but invisible force hoisted up the milk, bringing it towards t
"You are an A.I? who created you?" Drew asked. He finally realized that he didn't awaken a super power. Instead, a symbiotic machine bonded with him.-[I Am sorry, but you are not eligible to acess such information] Rolie replied. "When will i be eligible?" Drew asked.-[When the time comes you will know] At that moment, new words appeared on the panel screen.-[HOST INFO]-Name: Drew-Alias: ???-Race: Node-Nationality: Human-Planet: Earth-System: Sol-Galaxy: Milky way-[ATTRIBUTES]-Level: Level 0-Strength: 2 (pathetic)-Agility: 1 (pathetic)-Speed: 1 (pathetic)-Physique: 2 (pathetic)-Energy: 20-DF: 1 (pathetic)-COMBAT POWER: 4 (pathetic)-System Note: What a weak host!-[SKILL TREE]-Analysis: Can observe anything below level 2. 3 metre radius.

When Drew exited the hospital, he flagged down a taxi. "Where to?" the taxi man asked respectfully. "The nearest boutique. The faster you get me there, the more tips you will recieve" Drew said as he got in. The taxi man's eyes lit up. Another generous customer. He instantly stepped on the pedal and brought the vehicle to life. While the taxi man did his best to drive at his maximum, Drew sat comfortably at the back seat. He opened the system panel and tried increasing his strength stat.-[To increase strength stat by +1 costs 2 deci points] Drew went ahed, successfully increasing his strength stat. He only felt a slight ache in his biceps before the feeling vanished. Drew used up another six deci points, successfully increasing it to seven. He squandered the remaining ten deci points on his physique, bringing it on par with his strength stat. Due to this, his base damage increased. "This is not enough! i have to spend more money and get more deci points" he thought inwardl
