Chapter 455 Intimidation

A group of three was the first to make their move. They approached Jack's group with smiles on their faces. The one that was leading them was a man who was currently wearing a sleeveless shirt, the sleeves obviously torn up, with a tattoo of a scorpion on his bulging biceps.

"Hey kid, it's dangerous here. Why don't you come and be under my protection?" Although the man was talking to Jack, his gaze was actually focused on Celine. Well, he was not to be blamed as considering right now, Celine was the one with the most attractive appearance amongst all the three.

Of course, although he was offering Jack and his group protection, he was not sincere in what he was saying at all. Instead, just from the look that was in his eyes, it was clear that his intentions were not pure, not at all in the line of what he had just said.

"No thanks." Jack replied simply. After that, he looked at Samantha.

Samantha immediately understood what Jack was implying. So, she began leading the way towards the entrance to the Strongholds domain.

Denali, Celine, and Jack both followed her. They were not willing to argue with a group of mercenaries. Anyway, it was not as if there was a good person here. But, as long as they did not do anything overboard, then, Jack and his group were going to ignore them.

As for what was considered overboard, that was something that Jack would judge by himself.

When the group of three saw that Jack was actually ignoring them, they could not help but be a little dumbfounded. They began wondering where this kid and the group that he had come over with, had gotten the guts to come over without anyone that was protecting them.

Even if they were actually from a big background, what did that matter? It was not as if the backgrounds that they possessed were going to do anything to them. After all, this was the mercenaries land, and even the government did not have much say when it came to this place.

"Humph! I was trying to show you my goodwill, but it seems that you don't want it. Anyway, you have already disrespected me. So why don't you compensate me for your behavior so that I can let you go?" The bulky guy with a scorpion tattoo stated with a cold expression on his face.

Jack ignoring him was no different from slapping his face. Although it was true that he was not having even the slightest intent of protecting Jack, but, this was the mercenaries land. That implied that, here, it was everyone depending on their own strength.

Since he was currently the strongest when compared to Jack, then, he was supposed to be the one that was saying while Jack following. So, how could he take it easily when Jack had just ignored him?

Jack did not respond. What was there to argue about with an idiot? Anyway, they had to get to the domain as soon as possible. Nighttime was already approaching, and, they had to get somewhere to stay. He was not willing to camp outside like this group of mercenaries.

Being completely ignored once again, the patience of the guy with the tattoo finally elapsed. He shouted furiously, "F*ck! I am talking to you and you are ignoring me?! It seems that you don't value your life anymore. If you think that you are still In that family of yours where you can do as you please, then, I will have to teach you that you are in a completely different place now."

Immediately after saying that, he waved his hand. And, one of the two men that was with him took a step forward. He was obviously intending to capture Jack and beat him up.

"Arnold, are you not being so presumptuous? Just say that you are eyeing the beauty there. Stop claiming that they are ignoring you. It is not as if they are the ones that called you, but, you are the one that went over after them." At this time, the voice of a female echoed.

Arnold, the guy with a scorpion tattoo turned his gaze and looked at the lady. She did not look that much old, probably in her late 20s. But still, her body was slightly muscular, unlike ordinary ladies.

She had short blonde hair and an exquisite figure. She was a beauty, easily attracting the attention of everyone that looked at her. Although she was not comparable to Celine, but at least, her beauty was not to be underestimated.

Currently, she was wearing a military cargo pants with a tank top that revealed her slender but muscular hands, as well as the belly muscles that had formed abs, thought not much prominent.

She was playing with a dagger, one like that of the military. When Arnold saw her, his expression shifted. After that, with a disgruntled expression, he simply grunted then turned around.

This lady was not to be messed with. Although she was a beauty, there was not even a single man amongst the mercenaries that wanted to mess with her.

After all, apart from the fact that she herself was strong, way stronger than Arnold could handle, even her brother was actually very strong. In fact, he was the leader of the strongest mercenary group among all the groups that were known.

So, although he was dissatisfied, there was nothing that he could do. Even the guy that was intending to beat up Jack decided to retreat when she spoke. Anyway, if he pissed her off, he was definitely going to beat him up.

Of course, when the lady spoke, Jack and the group noticed her. But, they did not say anything. Anyway, they appreciated what she did. But still, they could have handled the problem if it came their way.

So, the lady watched as Jack's group left the area. She could not help but grumble in dissatisfaction, "Not even a thank you? Anyway, it does not matter. It does not cost me anything to speak up for them. But, it will not be the same the next time. Unless you ask me, I will not do anything because you look ungrateful."

After saying that, she decided to leave. She wanted to meet up with her brother because she had decided that she wanted to go and join the city that was outside the big stronghold.

She had been informed that that was the place where the majority of the mercenaries went to. According to the information that she had received, as long as a person was able to enter behind those walls, they would be able to have a better life. More than that, they would get stronger than before.

After Jack and his group left, they soon arrived in front of a place that was surrounded by a tall wall. From Jack's estimation, he could tell that the wall was currently about 10 m tall. Additionally, just looking at it, he could tell that it was made from a material that he had never seen or heard of before.

"Those are the ones that are found in the battlefield. The production of this type of stone actually began after the invasion. Although it might seem precious because it is capable of blocking even high caliber bullets from penetrating them, but, they are considered nothing back in the strongholds." Samantha explained when she saw Jack's curious gaze.

Jack simply nodded. He had realized that it seemed that the strongholds were a completely different place. And, there were several types of materials that would not be found here.

It was just like the materials that were required for the armor that he had been given the blueprint by the system to be manufactured. Those materials could only be found in the stronghold domain.

Samantha led the way to the gate that led into the area that was surrounded by the wall. And, in front of the gate, there was a group of people that was wearing shiny orange high-tech armors. It was obvious that they were the ones that were in charge of ensuring security here.

Jack could see that each and every one of them possessed high tech equipment. That included laser weapons, just like the ones that Samantha and the rest of the people that were from the stronghold possessed.

"Halt! Entry is not allowed now. You can only come in for testing tomorrow at 7:00a.m. The testing time and entry into the new domain begins at 7 in the morning and ends at 5:00 in the evening." One of the men that was standing In front of the gate stated with an indifferent expression on his face.

"I am from a stronghold." Samantha stated. In the next moment, she revealed the armor that she was hiding inside the thick clothing that she was putting on.

When the five people that were standing at the entrance heard that, they were surprised. After all, not just anyone knew about the strongholds. In fact, not many people called them strongholds. Only those that were inside could call them that way, except a very very few number of people like Benjamin.

That was the exact reason why they were calling that area a new domain, rather than the stronghold domain. It was obvious that if they said stronghold domain, then, there was going to be a group of people that was going to easily relate the strongholds to something.

After all, the strongholds were mainly meant for protection, or defense, and at times for attacking. So, many people related to the reason why the people from the stronghold were not allowed to reveal the fact that they possessed superhuman capabilities to the normal people.

"Please come in. Forgive me for my disrespect." The person that had spoken previously stated once again, only this time, he spoke in a respectful voice.
