Arcana Mob

Chapter 3 Ch 3 : Special Event

With his hands in his pant pockets, Cade casually strolled into the Supermarket at the corner of the street.

If it was the usual case, Cade would definitely try to avoid supermarkets and went to the traditional market early in the morning as Supermarket's price was somewhat higher than the normal traditional market.

However, it was already pretty late, and Cade didn't want to waste any more time.

" Brother, can you give me some eggs?"

" Huh? Sure, wait a minute." The store clerk looked up.

The store clerk left to pick up some eggs while Cade was left alone waiting for the shop clerk. While waiting, Cade decided to pick up his phone and check up on some news.

" Let's see, what the news is up to? Hmm.. it seemed that what Elsa said previously was true. A disappearance case, huh? I think it is a good idea to quickly go home after getting the egg."

As Cade was busy checking the news about the disappearance case, unexpectedly a few familiar voices came from his side.

"Eh? Isn't this Mr. School's number one?"

" !!!! "

Hearing the few familiar voices from the side, Cade's expression instantly turned pale as he grabbed all his belonging and moved back a few paces as fast as he could. He didn't have to look up to know who was talking.

He already knew who it was. After years of bullying, he was not a stranger to that voice, but to run into them here just at this time?

He quickly looked around and saw that there was still some distance between him and the bullies.

No longer caring about the eggs, Cade immediately run as fast as possible from his current place. Meeting them here was the worst scenario possible.

In the school, they might have some reservations, but who knows what they would do when no one was watching like now.

Leaving the Supermarket in a rush, Cade noticed a small alley to his right, just beside the Supermarket.

*Huff-Huff*

" Bastards.. why now? Can't they give me any rest?"

He forgot everything as he ran over there. Of course, there was a burst of loud laughter, and the group of young men followed him in excitement.

For a few minutes, the two groups were caught in a hide and seek. Cade runs with all his best, while the group of delinquents continuously chase after him with a burst of mocking laughter.

Unfortunately for Cade, a short few minutes later, he eventually found himself trapped as he hit a dead-end, and right behind him was the group of delinquents.

"Hehe. Why are you running away? Aren't we close friends?."

The shortest one who stood at the very front dropped his water bottle on the floor and kicked it, aiming for Cade's head.

BANG!!!!

Cade was a bit late to dodge, and the bottle hit Cade right at his head, causing some bleeding. Cade, who was impacted by the kick fell down to the floor and looked at the guy with despair in his eyes.

Just why? He had never done anything to them, so why did they always go after him?

Still, no matter what he could only accept the beating and hoped that the group of delinquents wouldn't go too far today.

He had once tried to fight back, but it only resulted in a more merciless beating. From that day onward, Cade realized that all he could do was just wait for the other party to be satisfied and leave him alone.

" Hey, hey, why do you look so dead? We haven't even played with you yet?"

. . . . . . .

About half an hour later, Cade was left with bruises all over his body, a few broken bones, and fallen teeth. It was so miserable, but well, at least he was still able to keep his life.

After a full half an hour of beating, Cade thought that the Delinquent already had enough. He was about to watch the scene of the delinquents leave, but then something happened.

As the delinquents were about to leave, Cade suddenly heard a prompt coming up on his mind.

[ 0 hours 0 minute 0 seconds left.]

[ DING!!! The countdown timer has elapsed, and a special event will soon happen near the host.]

[ DING!!! The special transmigration bonus has been implemented. The countdown timer would disappear now.]

' ????'

Obviously, Cade was perplexed by this sudden appearance of the mechanical voice.

Special event? What does it really mean…

And what the heck? Transmigration bonus?

Cade really wanted to laugh. A special transmigration bonus ten years after transmigrating and years of bullying. Was he supposed to be the weaktostrong trope protagonist?

But before Cade could think any further, a rough, hoarse voice came from the side. Surprising both Cade and the delinquents.

" Well, well… What do I see here? A group of people ganking up on a guy?"

'This.. Is this the special event…'

Cade's mood turned strange as he tried to predict what might happen after this.

There's no description of what the event was, and he could only hope that it would at least benefit him to get out of this predicament.

In the passerby's view, the appearance of this voice might help Cade. But Cade clearly thought the opposite. It would only make the delinquent stay longer by his side, and there was a chance that the situation would escalate even further.

And just right, the moment the voice fell, the atmosphere suddenly turned a bit tense.

If it was just Cade, then they might be able to turn the table by saying Cade was slandering them. However, it was an entirely different case if there were eyewitnesses here.

Nonetheless, Cade was not the only one who felt annoyed with the sudden arrival of the voice.

The other delinquent member looked worriedly at their leader, the one with spiky red hair that gave an imposing aura.

" Boss, what should we do-"

" Humph, it's okay. It is just a guy who wanted to play hero!"

After calming his worried underling, the Delinquent leader shifted his glare to the direction where the voice came.

" You.. stop hiding in the dark! If you are a man, come out and talk to us directly!"

It was a very imposing roar. But unfortunately for him, the other party didn't seem like he wanted to respond.

A few minutes passed with no response, and the Delinquent leader slowly became impatient.

Someone was interfering when they played with their favorite toy, it was impossible for him not to get annoyed.

However, when he was about to go in the direction of the voice, the delinquent leader saw a huge stone door blocking the passage.

Along with the leader, the other delinquents immediately surrounded this door.

"What is this? Why is there a door here? I don't think I had seen this door when we got here before."

"Hey, have we encountered something like this before?"

"This is definitely the first time, I'm sure of it."

"This… Doesn't this feel strangely dangerous?"

The delinquents began to express their doubts and fears one at a time.

Since this was a very bizarre situation, they had to be cautious and meticulous.

However, the other party had clearly grasped the personality of the delinquent boss.

The moment the delinquents showed some hesitation, another voice came from inside the door.

" Humph? What is it? So you guys are just chicken, huh? Come here and see me by yourself… But that's if you are a man. Hahahahahahahaha!"

It was very clear that it was an intentional provocation and inside might be full of traps. But the Delinquent Boss was just too annoyed and fell for it.

He heard those provocations and his temper had gotten into his head. Anyway, he didn't believe that there would be something dangerous inside the city.

" You guys, we will be entering the gate. Follow me, we will teach that guy a lesson for not messing with us!"

" !!!! "

Just as a dumbfounded expression formed on the delinquents' faces, the delinquent leader pushed the dungeon's door and it creaked open.

Slam!

Now that the door was wide open, the huge open interior revealed itself. The interior was very dark, and it was clear that it would be full of danger, but the Delinquent had made up his mind.

The Delinquent leader was just about to enter, but then an evil smile appeared on his face as he remembered something.

" By the way, bring that trash too. Maybe he can help to check the trap for us!"
