"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
"Are you deaf? Who sent you?" David gave him another jab in his mouth, causing a tear in his upper lip.He groaned in pain and sucked the blood oozing out of his lip. He felt pathetic about his life. What a pity! It doesn't even take David much stress before he captured him.David couldn't contain his patience any longer. How could some people be so cruel and selfish? He just wanted to know who the person was."I was sent by----" He paused again and sucked on his lip as the blood continued to gush out.David's blow wasn't just an ordinary blow. The jab felt like he was hit with a sledgehammer. It was even worse than that.David grew angrier with his hesitation. They had already wasted too much of his time.He had earlier suspected that their attack had been planned. Now, he wanted to know who sent them, even though he knew the attack wasn't meant for him; it was meant for someone else."Save my time, you fool!" David didn't take it lightly, delivering another punch to his face.He fel
A new day arrived with a brighter morning. David just woke up from his deep sleep, stretching his body.The day before was indeed a great day. A day he had never experienced in his life. He was a bit tired when he arrived late last night to the extent that as soon as he got home, he went straight to bed and fell asleep.The previous day was not just any day but a remarkable day in which he narrowly escaped death with the help of the system.The previous unusual day in his life was when he was thrown over the fence by the cruel coordinator at Mr. Huge's construction site.He nearly gave up the ghost on that day too if not for the help of the system.Deep down in David's mind, he wondered where he would be at the present moment if not for the system.It's very certain that he would be in a critical health condition or something worse might have happened.Gratitude spread over his mind. He wished the system was a human, he would have invited him over for a special treatment.He's ready t
