Dion and Sean went straight to the woman. For a moment, they hoped it was Mrs. Anne, but it wasn’t her. Dion found out that the woman was one of Mrs. Anne's housemaids who had asked for a week off two days earlier.

The girl's clothes were tidy, but there was a red stain on the sleeve of her white blouse. Her gaze seemed empty, but her cheeks were swollen. She also looked dazed.

"Lea, what's wrong? What happened to you?" Dion asked while shaking the girl named Lea's body.

"Dion, I'm sorry," Lea said. Her body suddenly collapsed to the ground, and she began crying.

Dion and Sean looked at each other. Then, they took Lea to Mrs. Anne's yard and let her calm down.

After a few minutes, Dion asked her to explain what had happened. Then, amidst her sobs, Lea explained little by little.

Lea said that she had conspired with Donny to harm Mrs. Anne. When Donny failed to execute his plan, Lea and several other employees carried out a backup plan. They kidnapped Mrs. Anne while Dion was off guard

    Behind the Kingdom University building, five students were gathered. The four men were members of the most popular gang on campus and were the children of wealthy families. As for the other man, he was Sean Alfie Edison. One of the students was always the target of bullying by the gang. Three of them are seen holding Sean from various sides. One man, who was the leader of the gang, was seen standing in front of them. "Sean, do you think you can get away with this today?" asked Arnold Twain, the leader of the gang. He smiled dismissively. Then he took off Sean's glasses. "Can you only afford cheap stuff like this, Sean?" Arnold waved the glasses in front of Sean's face. He looked very dismissive of the poor man. "What do you expect from a loser like Sean? He can only afford such a cheap item," said someone behind Sean. "Then again, wouldn't it be even more absurd if he could afford luxury goods?" The man on the left side chimed in. The four men laughed. Sean's misfortune was th

    The person who came was none other than Rose Aubrey. Sean's girlfriend for the past five years."Rose!" Sean stammered.He tried to get up, but one of Arnold's friends immediately held him back."It was you who dared to interrupt my fun," Arnold said. He had a meaningful smile on his lips.Rose walked over to the five men. She saw Sean's battered condition"Rose, get out of here. Please don't get involved!" said Sean."Look who's talking!" Arnold smiled dismissively.He stood beside Rose and stroked her hair. Then, kissed the girl on the cheek right in front of Sean.Rose didn't try to dodge or resist. She just turned her face the other way."What the hell are you doing!"Sean shouted in anger. They had been together for five years and he had never treated Rose that low. He had promised himself to always take care of Rose.Sean loved the girl very much and didn't want anything bad to happen to her. He didn't want Rose to get involved in this."Arnold, end it for today. Can't you see h

    Sean stared at the creature behind him. He didn't know what it was, but the aura around it seemed tense. It frightened Sean to the point of not daring to move."What is that thing?"Sean squinted his eyes. His vision was blurry, and that made him even more curious. He could only see its red eyes among the trees.The creature seemed to be stalking Sean and made growling sounds. Its pointy teeth looked extremely terrifying. Then the next second, the creature ran towards Sean.Sean stared at the creature. He wasn't sure what it was.Maybe a wolf?No!There couldn't be a wolf that big roaming the city!Sean squinted his eyes again as the creature got closer. He started to get a good look at it. It didn't look like a wolf. It was very different.Its body looked like a Komodo dragon, but much larger. Its teeth were sharp. Its eyes were red. On its head it had one horn and around it were scales sticking out. At first glance, it looked like a dragon's head.Sean began to realize that he was i

    Sean began to panic. There was something strange about his vision. He saw a blue square-shaped hologram that filled his vision. It looked very clear and appeared out of nowhere."What is this?" Sean wondered. The weirdness he experienced was not over yet.A string of text appeared in the center of the screen.[Owner has been found.][Start activating the system.][Start analyzing the owner][Name: Sean Alfie Edison][Age: 21 years old][Vitality: D][Total points: 0][Add natural element: +]"What the hell?

A notification popped up. His eyes widened. The $10,000 had arrived in his account.It was a huge amount of money for Sean. He could live well for the next few months. He could even buy a new

    [Name: Sean Alfie Edison][Age: 21 years old][Vitality: D][Points: 100][Add natural element: +]Sean continued to stare at the screen in front of him. He still didn't understand. Where did he get those points from? This was something new to him."Did I get points for paying the rent and spending the money given by the system?"Sean looked at his new glasses. If it was true that he got the points for using the money, then it would be easy for him. After all, who in the world doesn't like spending money?But in a way, Sean felt strange. The name of this system was the Natural Power Control System, and the name of the mission he had to carry out was the Natural Balance Mission.Could money bring nature into balance?If he thought about it, it made little sense. He was treated unfairly because he had no money. Then once he had money, people would be a little nicer to him."That's right! Money can balance nature." Sean said with confidence.He glanced at the wound on his hand. The blood

    The five people stood in front of Sean. One of the two women briefly glanced at him from head to toe, then turned to look at the fat man.Being looked at in that way made Sean feel uncomfortable. He was offended. What's more, the person who was staring at him earlier seemed to look down on him.Sean didn't know who they were and why the woman was treating him that way. However, they looked like people with power.This was also reinforced by the fat man's reaction, which seemed frightened. Maybe they knew each other. That was good for Sean."We meet again, Mr. Hugo," said the woman who had been looking at Sean.Sean looked at the fat man. The woman had called him by his name. It was obvious that these six people knew each other."We got a report about violence in a public place. At first, we didn't think it was you." The tallest man said.The man named Hugo looked panicked. Then he said, "It's not what you think. I can explain it.""You are very good at acting."Another woman came in h

    Alfred watched Sean's reaction intently. This wasn't the first time he had faced a case like this. It had been many times, with predictable results."Sir, I don't know them. I don't know Mrs. Emma. How can I be accused of being her mistress?" Sean asked.He was visibly unsettled. Ever since he saw the violence Hugo inflicted on Emma, Sean had made up his mind to help her. But what he got now was unexpected.The couple accused him of being Emma's mistress. This made no sense.After all, he was the victim of Rose and Arnold's affair. There was no way he was going to have an affair with Mrs. Emma, who was far away from him in age.Even if he had to have an affair, he would look for a girl more beautiful than Rose. Perhaps one of the two goddesses on campus would be better."I'm just trying to help her from her husband's abuse. That's it!" Sean continued.Alfred sighed. He seemed to know a few things about what happened to Sean."What made you want to help a stranger, young man?" asked Al

    After thinking for a while, and getting some advice from Alfred, Sean finally decided to talk to the woman. He would give it a try first.Although he didn't know what the result would be, Sean didn't mind. He also didn't mind if he couldn't persuade Mrs. Emma to retract her statement. As long as the money requested was not more than $5,000, he would be fine.Sean was honestly surprised. Why did Alfred tell him to do this?Shouldn't it be their job to talk to Mrs. Emma, and explain that what she did was wrong?Sean was about to ask Alfred about this, but the man had already gone out of the room. Right after Sean decided to talk to Mrs. Emma. He immediately rushed off.Sean was again left alone. This time he just hoped that everything would go smoothly. He couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to leave this place immediately.In less than ten minutes, the door to the room opened again. Sean saw Alfred carrying Mrs. Emma into the room. He immediately stood up and looked at the woman with

    Sean noticed a change in Dion's demeanor. His expression seemed to hold back anger. His hands were clenched into fists, making Sean even more curious. Sean wanted to know what made Dion angry."Are you okay?" Sean asked.Dion snapped out of his thoughts. He turned to Sean with a slight smile."I'm fine. But you're not.""What do you mean?" Sean looked at him questioningly."Didn't I tell you before? They're from Keyville and part of a criminal group. They won’t let you off that easily,” Dion said.“But I honestly haven’t offended anyone. Why would they target me?”"Try to remember again," Dion suggested.Sean seemed to be reminiscing. His brows furrowed as he recalled something."Did you remember?" Dion asked.“I did have a fight with three thugs once, and I thought those five guys earlier might be their friends seeking revenge, but I don’t know where those three thugs were from. I also fought with someone from my college, but he’s not from Keyville,” Sean explained.“You fought three

    Sean stared at the five people who were surrounding him. He had no idea who they were, and he had no idea how they had gotten into his house. Because, as Sean remembered, he always locked the door, whether he was home or away. The five people were wearing face coverings, so Sean couldn't see their faces. However, one thing Sean was sure of was that these five people had evil intentions towards him. The five people stared at each other. Then, at the same time, they attacked him. Sean tried to fight them off. Sean dodged some of their punches. He also tried to fight back by picking up items that were within easy reach and smashing them at them. Unfortunately, it didn’t succeed in cornering the five people. They just attacked Sean even more aggressively, making the man almost overwhelmed. If only he didn't have the power of the water element to block their blows, perhaps right now his body would have been battered. It could even be worse than that. Sean could feel that the strength

    Early in the morning, Sean was already out of bed. This time there were guests at his house, and he felt responsible for giving them breakfast. Therefore, he went straight to the grocery store and bought some groceries to cook at home.Sean has been living alone for a long time, no wonder he is good at many things. Including cooking.The young man entered the kitchen and was surprised to find Mrs. Anne already there. The old woman seemed to be looking for something."What are you doing, Mrs. Anne?" asked Sean.Mrs. Anne immediately turned her head. She was surprised too."Ah, I'm looking for groceries. I thought I could help a little by cooking something for you." The old woman smiled awkwardly."You don't need to do that. You'd better go back to rest, let me do the cooking. When it's done, I'll call you and Dion."Sean put away the plastic bag he was carrying. Then he began to take out the contents and wash some foodstuffs that had to be washed.Sean can cook, but so far, he prefers

    The gunshot was nothing but a warning sound from one of the police officers. They did that to get Sean and Donny to stop fighting on the spot. And yes, it worked.Sean looked at the two police officers who were currently with Mrs. Anne. He was surprised and did not expect this to happen. He was also happy with their arrival, knowing that Mrs. Anne would be completely safe.Next to the old woman was a well-built man whose face was battered. Sean remembered the man. He was one of Mrs. Anne's men who used to help the old woman get his things out of the house that Sean rented. None other than Donny's colleague as well.Regarding his battered face, Sean suspected that it was Donny's doing. They had a disagreement and ended up in a fight. Sean was also sure that he had called the police.Unlike Sean, who was happy about the arrival of the two policemen, Donny looked angry. He clenched his fists but did nothing."Stop your fight. And for the man named Donny, please come with us to the police

    Chapter 18: Mrs. Anne

    Sean still didn't move when Mrs. Anne asked him for help. He was still thinking about how the old woman had always treated him badly.As far back as Sean could remember, Mrs. Anne had never once treated him well. In Mrs. Anne's eyes, Sean was always wrong and just a poor young man with no future. Sean was still hurt by that.Although he now had the ability to awaken the power of natural elements, Sean felt that he was still an ordinary human being. His heart still ached from how people treated him. It was the same with his ego that asked Sean to ignore the old woman.Although the mission he had to carry out was a mission to help others, his heart still rejected it. He was not an angel who could forgive Mrs. Anne just like that. Nor was he a demon who would enjoy the evil that the man in front of them would do.Sean ruffled his hair in frustration. On the one hand, he wanted to help, but on the other hand, he didn't want to care. He was getting confused himself at the moment.For a mom

    Sean snapped out of his reverie when he heard Arnold scream. He saw that the man had already thrown a fist at him. Sean panicked.He had no chance to dodge. The only way he had at the moment was to deflect Arnold's fist with his own. Then, with full awareness, Sean threw his fist. As for the consequences that he might get, Sean did not think about that.The only thing that was currently on his mind was how to avoid losing to Arnold. He was also thinking about how to avoid getting fatally injured. So inevitably, he would do the same with his opponent.Their fists clashed. So did their strength, causing both of them to retreat a few meters.Both Sean and Arnold were breathing heavily. Their hands were sore, but that was nothing."What the hell is this?! No one has escaped my fists so far." Arnold wondered to himself. He looked at Sean with a questioning gaze.Arnold was at the level three middle stage of the earth element, and the fist he threw just now was no ordinary fist. He gathered

    Currently, Alfred was in the office of the central organization that he had previously alluded to. More precisely, he was in a room where the three corpses of the thugs who had been defeated by Sean were located. He was not alone. There was a man who was slightly older than him."One fugitive has been captured. Too bad he's dead," said the man next to Alfred.The man's name was Thomas Gordon. He was one of the people who worked there and was in charge of handling several cases caused by people from secret families. Thomas' eyes were only on Frank Matthew's body. He did not expect that this fugitive would end tragically. But in a way, he also felt happy about it."That's right. If he's still alive, we can extract information from him about the hidden fire element family." Alfred said."We already know that some of them are in Keyville and control most of the city. It's just that it's too dangerous to investigate them for now.""You're right. They are very dangerous.""The fact that Fra

    Sean watched his system screen intently. There were still many things that made him curious.[Name: Sean Alfie Edison][Age: 21 years old][Vitality: A][Points: 100][Water element: Early stage Lv.03][Add nature element: +]"My vitality is already at rank A. Does that mean I'm already stronger than before?" Sean wondered to himself.In his previous rank, Sean had already managed to defeat three thugs without having to struggle. That meant, at his current rank, he had already become much stronger. This was obvious and should not be questioned."At my current rank, let alone fighting three thugs, even against monsters, I dare," Sean said it proudly. A smile was etched on his face.Aside from his vitality ranking, Sean also felt happier about the money he was earning. It was an amount of money that continued to grow a lot without having to work hard.Sean began to feel curious about the strength of the other elements.Were the points he had to spend the same as the points when he upgra
