The silence in the living room now was far beyond the previous one. The tranquility was at its highest height that the sound of the blowing winds could be heard.The whole Wendy family lost their composure at the moment. The call was more like a gun pointed at their heads. They dared not ignore it, yet their hearts were pounding heavily in response to the call.Mr. Huge had threatened them the last time with a comeback, and whatever his comeback might be, it could never be endured.Mr. Huge is a very tough person, and he doesn't do things except tough things only, just like his policies.The other day he came around, Granny had promised to pay up before the week runs out, but there are still two days remaining until the weekend.Granny was trying to guess why he was calling now but couldn't arrive at any conclusion. All she knew was, for Huge to call her with the ongoing issue between them, there must be a problem.One thing is very certain in the hearts of the Wendy family. They knew
David was in his living room, relaxing on a wide black leather sofa. The living room measured 12 by 20 feet and had simple yet unique decorations that made it outstanding. In the center of the room, there was a wide transparent coffee table made of golden glass.He was watching a program on a 65-inch TV.He was so engrossed in the program that he had spent several hours in the living room, but it felt like only a few minutes to him.He had been there since he came back from his company. The program he was watching was a reality TV show.One thing is certain when it comes to something that entertains you: you can never get bored of it. Even after spending a long time on it, you still want more of it.David was laughing loudly, his voice echoing around the walls of the spacious living room. He lived alone in the very big apartment.Suddenly, his stomach began to rumble. It needed some good food. He slowly looked at the skeleton clock on the wall, and his eyes widened instantly."Huh?!"
"Oh really, I'm all ears," David's curiosity increased.Jessica took a glance at the young man's handsomeness again and complimented in her heart, 'It seems this is my first time seeing a young, calm, rich, and handsome guy in my life.'Jessica had been working at Cicada Hotel for some years. But throughout those years, she had only seen young, rich guys and handsome, rich men.It was beyond belief for her to see someone like David, who is young, rich, handsome, and still very calm.The young rich men that visit their hotels always have a total arrogance swimming in their blood. Funny enough, none of them were even as rich as David."The general manager wanted to meet you, sir," she disclosed and took a pause, seeing his eyes widen.He was wondering what could have made the General Manager want to see him."You mean it? I hope there's no problem," David questioned."Not at all, sir. You are the top VVIP customer of our hotel. For that, he really wants to meet you and appreciate you."
Instantly, he heard a ding sound in his head. His eyes began to blink uncontrollably at that second, and the feeling was very sudden.Before he knew what was happening, his brain was already loaded with all the martial skills in the world, from Taekwondo to kickboxing, karate, kung fu, and the like. The skills were installed in his brain, one after the other, but it was as fast as the speed of light.These skills would take a martial arts student a large number of years to study, but they were installed in his brain within a few seconds with the help of the system.Moreover, he had only wished for just one martial art skill, but the system blessed him with all the skills.Then, he heard the robotic voice again.[New mission unlocked: Defeat the ten armed robbers within the next 40 minutes. Your time starts now!][Reward: $10 million]"Huh?" David's eyes widened. The number of guys before him was five, but the system said ten. He queried in his mind.Why should the system even give him
David watched the two guys running towards him, his mind calculating quickly."Huh?" His eyes widened.He never thought that the last guy could have such a dangerous weapon. The way he cracked his neck made him seem very tough.Two guys at once! What a challenge!Not only that, they had deadly weapons in their hands.David was confused about what action to take and needed to act quickly. He looked around and caught sight of the baseball bat.He kicked the bat up and grabbed it instantly. Holding it firmly, he waved the bat in the air, causing the duo to become distracted.Caught off guard, David was able to hit their faces with the bat as they were already distracted, causing them to stagger backward.As the guy holding the dagger lost control and staggered backward, his legs hit the body of one of their unconscious men on the floor, causing him to fall backward and hit his head on a big stone.He felt a sharp pain in his head from the unexpected fall and grunted loudly.The guy with
David's brow furrowed in anger upon hearing the threat. His face frowned, glaring at the gang irritably as they moved closer to him.'Why did they hide themselves at first?' David questioned in his mind and snorted.He stared at them with more exasperation. His facial expression clearly explained how annoying they looked to him.Among these five men, the guy who threw the threat was the only one wearing a mask. He was also the one leading the squad. From the looks of things, he seemed to be the leader of the robbery gang."You were told to comply with just a simple order but you refused. You even went ahead to injure my boys. What audacity! What guts!" The masked guy's voice was filled with fury as he yelled.His voice was menacing, indicating ultimate danger as he wailed.David's lips curled slightly upon hearing his plight. He understood the masked guy pain now as he had explained himself. He wasn't pleased with David's stubbornness to comply with his boys.More importantly, he had
Concluding with a very quick decision, David jumped up with forceful speed out of the circle before the weapons reached him.He stepped on the shoulder of one of his opponents and jumped over the galvanized pipe that had helped him earlier.The guys were dumbfounded by what they had just seen. Even their boss's eyes were filled with disbelief.The speed at which he left the circle was unbelievable; even a speedometer couldn't calculate it.David spun the pipe in a stunning style, leaving everyone watching in confusion as they tried to anticipate his next move.The more he spun the pipe, the louder the waving sound became."Don't be fooled by his useless skills. Make him defenseless," the masked guy encouraged his team to keep fighting.As soon as he made the statement, one of the guys holding an axe rushed forward to act.As the guy approached, David lowered his body and forcefully struck his legs with the galvanized pipe, causing him to fall."Huh?!" He couldn't believe he was on the
[Warning! A deadly weapon is about to hit you.]The robotic voice announced.David turned in the direction from which the axe was coming. Without a single stress, he grabbed the handle like a goalkeeper.The guy who threw the axe was staring at David as if he were looking at a ghost. His eyes refused to believe what he had just seen.He believed he had thrown the axe with the utmost speed. Meanwhile, it was like slow motion to David.At this moment, he was expecting David's body to be laying on the ground helplessly. He knew the damage the weapon he threw would cause.David should have been swimming in a pool of blood if the axe had hit his head.The leader of the gang was still trying to bring himself back to reality. His eyes had seen so much from this lad today, in just a couple of minutes.At this moment, their hearts were tied with so much fear. They knew how smoothly and perfectly David had used just a galvanized pipe. Now that he had a throwing axe with him, things would really
