Face-Slapping System

Chapter 195 Enhanced Senses

?

Considering the future, Roland thought that he should buy their own soda recipe.

After all, soda was pretty popular and it could technically go with any kinds of foods.

Right now, Sparkling Buds were only relying on getting sodas from a local supplier. It was a popular brand that everyone loved and liked.

Roland hesitated at the last second on whether he should buy the recipe or not.

Right now, Sparkling Buds had no problem with the soda yet. It goes right along with the taste of the sparkling chicken.

Roland knew that if he chose the soda recipe, he would have needed to build a factory for it. And establishing a brand that already has a kind of 'big boss' on it was definitely not something that someone would just decide on the fly.

After thinking about it, Roland decided to wait a bit first. He was not a business person to begin with. He thought of asking Stacey's opinion regarding this matter first. She has a background in business and she should have multiple business ideas that can go along with his plan in the future.

In anycase, he was not in a hurry to start another one soon.

Sparkling Buds was built in a rush and the only reason it was standing tall and firm right now was because of Butler Frank's efforts. However, he knew that he should rely too much on it and should do things as usual. This way, it could prevent the prying eyes of some people as well.

This time, the Sparkling Buds should have already registered the eyes of some people. Especially with the case after Bryan began targeting them.

Speaking of him, Roland could feel the malice coming out of him since earlier.

After he leveled up to 3, he gained this sense that allowed him to sense some fluctuating intense emotions around him. This was a very helpful ability that would allow him to sense danger in advance. At the same time, it could also warn him in advance if someone's real intention towards him.

It also seemed that One used this kind of ability to sense enemies before. Roland just did not know if this was a thing that everyone gets when they upgrade to level 3, or if it was a thing exclusive to him and the guards. This was like a more improved version of his senses working together in one.

Anyways, the malice that was coming out of Bryan was pretty obvious to Roland. If it was before, Roland would surely be a little worried about it. However, after upgrading to level 3, his confidence rose once more as he no longer thought highly of Bryan.

As they say, when one's power and influence reaches or breakthroughs a certain point, anyone would become ants in their eyes.

Right now, this was how he was seeing Bryan and his previous feud with him. Anna was regarded the same as well.

If not for the fact that he vowed to destroy them as a revenge, he would no longer even bother about them anymore.

It was just that there were certain things that you must do, even though you no longer felt the need to.

And speaking of it, Roland communicated with the guards and told them to begin clearing the evidence from the battle yesterday.

Razor was quite popular in this area. Sooner or later, someone would notice his disappearance and investigate it. It was better to clear all of the evidence early.

Of course, anyone with a mind would notice Bryan and Razor's connection to the Sparkling Buds. He was aware that the Sparkling Buds would face another crisis due to this matter as well.

It is what it is and he could do nothing to stop it. All he could do was to face it and defeat it head on.

At this moment, at the corner of that forest, a fire began to start in a wooden mansion that seemed to have been deserted.

Two and the others began to light everything on fire after spreading kerosene evenly on all of the surface.

The fire rose like a roaring dragon in a split second and began to churn down every piece of the mansion as the time went by.

At the same time, a charred smell began to waft around the area, assaulting Two and the others' noses. It was the smell of flesh being burned. However, instead of retreating or covering their nose, the guards seemed unfazed by it as they continued to administer the burning process.

They made sure that all bodies were burnt down, as to not leave any obvious evidence behind.

It also helped that the mansion was pretty well hidden, it should take time before the authority notices an abnormality in this area.

Thirty minutes later, Two and the others put out the fire to stop it from spreading to the nearby forest. It was only after they did this that they began to return back to Roland's side.

With this, they should be able to delay the investigation of the other party and it should allow them to have ample preparation time. They will be able to connect the dots back to Sparkling Buds, but at that time, Roland would not have to worry anymore.

Back at Fore City College, the review exam was still taking place.

Others were scratching their heads as they answered but at this moment, Madison finally finished hers.

She wanted to feel happy about it, but she obviously could not, when her rival managed to finish quicker than her. The difference in speed was just too big. She was just hoping that she would score more than him later. However, ever since entering Fore City College, she could only count in one hand how many times she managed to outscore Roland. Even so, she was still hopeful.

She took a glance at the relaxed Roland and felt frustrated even more. She already did her best to narrow the gap between their times, but she still ended up finishing last while Roland was already relaxing on her side.

For a moment, she realized that she might regret the way she made the sitting arrangement.

Roland turned to look at her, sensing her frustrations.

"You alright?" He asked, genuinely concerned.

'Were the questions really that hard?' He thought as he scratched his cheek, thinking that she might have felt frustration due to her not being able to answer some questions.

"The questions are easy… right?" He said slowly, attracting Madison's attention.

Madison turned to look at him as she nodded her head, "Yeah? Why?"

"Nothing," Roland shook his head and answered in confusion. He definitely sensed some frustrations from her earlier, alright?

In any case, if she doesn't want to admit it, so be it. It's not that he would judge her by it anyways.

If Madison heard what he was thinking right now, she would surely flare up once again and say, 'It's you who doesn't want to admit. Your whole ancestor doesn't want to admit. Judge your face, the questions are easy alright? I'm just frustrated because you finished at least two times quicker than me.'

Fortunately, she didn't, or else, Roland would surely feel more than frustrations from her this time.

Anyways, Madison also hushed him a moment later, saying that he was distracting their classmates by talking, urging him to stay quiet.

Roland just shrugged his shoulders and did not object.

Minutes pass in the blink of an eye.

Unknowingly, it was already time for them to submit the answered questionnaires.

Madison stood up and went to the front once again.

"Alright, everyone, time's up. Please pass your paper forward so that we can check it later." She stated.

Their classmates gasped one by one, surprised that time passes too quickly when answering a test.

"What? It's time already? I thought the class president only handed out the papers five minutes ago. And here I am thinking that I'm so fast for being able to answer thirty-nine questions, sigh* turns out I just barely managed." One of the top ten said with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"What? You were able to answer thirty-nine questions? Dude you're sick, I only answered thirty, lol!" Said the one behind the top ten guys.

"Thirty? Mine's only twenty-eight, I won't even be able to pass the 75% mark even if I miraculously get all of them right." Commented from the remark of the person in front of him.

The guy on his back, one of Bryan's friends looks at them as if they were gods.

"You guys have answers?" He stated as he crunched his brows in genuine confusion towards them.

The three people in front of him looked at him as if he was done for.

On the other hand, after getting all of the papers from her classmates, Madison began to shuffle and distribute them one by one again in random this time.

After she was done, she went in front of the whole class once more as the class began to check the papers with the lead of Madison.

"Question number 1. What is the…"

At the same time, Anna who was behind Roland could no longer hold back as she began and tried to get Roland's attention.

"Psst! Roland, the usual?"
