Chapter 160 Taming The Unruly Mercenaries

"You want us, people who have been to the battlefields, people who have seen a lot of blood, to come and work for you as guards? If you really want that to happen, why don't you prove that to me?" The guy with bulging muscles said again. This time, he eyed Jack because he noticed that Jack seemed to be the one with the highest authority here.r

Jack who had been watching the scene from the side got impatient and looked at the guy with bulging muscles. It was obvious that this guy was provoking him.r

Who was Jack? He was someone who won't mind you as long as you don't do anything that harmed his interest. But, no matter who you are, as long as you dare to provoke him, Jack would have to make you pay.r

Before Denali could make a move, Jack went forward and stared coldly at the guy. Jack's cold glare made the guy who was almost two meters in height take a step back. This was just an instinct that he had managed to nurture as a mercenary.r

He could feel that there was a kind of danger that was coming from Jack. Still, he managed to steel his nerves and faced Jack head on.r

"You guys are barking like a bunch of rabid dogs. You should know that nobody forced you to come here. You all came here because you thought that the offer is interesting." Jack began speaking.r

"I'm not going to beg you if you don't want to work for me. You all know where the entrance is. I believe that it can be used as the exit. So, if you feel that you are uncomfortable to stay here, you might as well scram from here and stop making noise here."r

Jack's words were cold. His voice was extremely domineering, it was as if he wasn't afraid of the large number of mercenaries in front of him.r

Even without him noticing it, the aura of a tyrant was released from his body, completely suppressing the bloodthirsty aura of the group. Jack had finally let go of the stupidity where he would simply talk or ignore those that didn't cross his line.r

Now, Jack had decided that he was actually going to make sure that there would be nobody that would dare to provoke him. You dare to say that he was stupid, he would become stupid and show you how it was like for him to be stupid.r

You dare to step on his feet, he would kick you to the oblivion. You try killing him, then he would return the favor and kill you. How dare you become arrogant in my presence? I'll make sure that you will no longer be able to lift your head the next time that we meet.r

That was the mindset that Jack had developed after he killed both Brenda and Marion. His mother had always been holding on, doing nothing. They dared to play tricks on her and slander her. But in the end, she did nothing.r

What was the result of this? She was killed off. She died without even knowing how she was killed, not having a chance to payback whatever grievances that were in her heart. She could have managed to use Anita's help so that she could at least make sure that her position in the Alfonso family wasn't messed up.r

But, she simply endured. And although Jack loved his mother, he simply thought that she didn't act like a normal person. She failed.r

As for him, although he indeed didn't say a word when they dared to actually mess with him, it was simply because he had no ability to fight back. But when he left Crystal city for Inchoate city, he had made a decision that if he was successful, he would get back at the Alfonso family.r

He wasn't willing to end up the same way as his mother, being too kind to be able to forgive someone that would want to kill him. That was the path to destruction. He wasn't willing to be destroyed. He could only be a destroyer and not the destroyed.r

And now, it was time for him to prove his point. How could he let a nobody, just because he was a mercenary, to look down on him?r

"You want to be proven to, right? You have seen a lot of blood, you have experienced a lot of life and death situations? Then, let me see how good you are, in that you think that you can be arrogant here." Jack snorted as he looked at the guy with bulging muscles.r

Being insulted by a young man, being told to scram, this was something that this group that didn't like following the law was completely against. So, even before the guy with bulging muscles could say a word, seven people stepped forward.r

"Just because you are rich, do you think that you can talk to me in such a manner?"r

"Depending on your parents' efforts to come and show off in front of us?"r

"Brat, you are courting death by thinking that we are like the guards that you have hired in the past. We are very different and we won't mind beating you up."r

"It seems that juniors nowadays think that having money can protect them. Without being strong, I can simply kill you and take away your wealth."r

Seeing the eight men in front of him, Jack revealed a smile as a cold glint flashed through his eyes. Since the group wanted to play, he might as well coach them on how to play.r

As for the others, they simply thought that the eight were already an overkill to deal with a youth like Jack. So, they decided to stand back and watch the show.r

"Why don't you come together? I would like to deal with insects like you all at once. After all, I don't have that much time to waste on you." Jack stated.r

"Humph! Since you don't know your place, then allow me to teach you in place of your parents." The guy with bulging muscles couldn't help it anymore and went forward. He attacked immediately, not wanting to care whether he would be reported to the police or not.r

There were no cameras around this place. So, as long as there was no evidence, who could claim that he was in the wrong? So, he attacked Jack.r

Ayush wanted to rush forward and prevent the guys who were attacking from reaching Jack. But, he was prevented by Denali. She had absolute trust in her master and she believed that if Jack said that he could do something, then it was true that he could.r

Seeing the guy heading his way, Jack didn't hesitate at all. Although he wasn't going for the kill, he would show no mercy in his attacks.r

The moment that the bulky guy got in front of him, Jack used his left hand to hold the fist that was heading his way, completely stopping the attack without taking a single step backwards.r

What followed that was, he pulled the bulky towards him before smashing his fist on the chest.r

Bang!r

The fist connected on the chest of the stunned bulky and before he could even respond to the punch that had already crushed several of his bones, Jack had pulled him in once again before he smashed another fist onto the guy's face.r

Immediately after that, he released the other party, allowing him to easily fly backwards.r

The series of movements happened in just five seconds as Jack had finally decided to use his full speed.r

Just as the seven behind were still trying to understand what was happening, Jack appeared in front of them one after the other. His punches were not light as he made sure to break a bone for each person that he attacked.r

Though, he was still holding back, making sure that he wouldn't kill them off. But, the injuries that they had sustained this time would send them to bed for a few months in the least.r

In less than a minute, Jack had already dealt with the seven. They were now on the ground, wailing crazily from the pain of having several of their bones broken.r

The rest of the group was waiting for a good show where a young master would be taught a good lesson. But, what happened next was beyond their expectations. The group of seven experienced mercenaries were dealt with in a matter of seconds.r

They were completely dominated in terms of strength and they couldn't resist at all. They were completely crushed. Even they who were watching from the sides couldn't help but tense up when they saw Jack's gaze landing on them.r

They now looked at Jack in a new light. He was still young but he was extremely strong. He really had the right to be arrogant in front of them as none of them could guarantee that they could actually handle the eight at the same time, not to mention that, to beat them in less than a minute.r

"Is there anybody else who thinks that I'm not worthy of any of you working as guards for me? Strength, you are nothing in front of my eyes. Money, do you think that you can compete against me?" Jack spoke again.r

"I'll say it again. It's not like I'm begging any of you to work for me. This is something that you are going to benefit from at the end of the day. You work for me, I'll pay you. You are not doing me a favor at all."r

"So, I'll have to repeat myself. If you think that you are not ready to work as a guard for my company, you can as well scram. I don't want to have uncultured people working for me. If you can't use your brain to even know that the offer was only for those that were willing, why on earth are you trying to act arrogant when you are simply brainless fools?"r

Although the faces of the mercenaries had already turned scarlet due to the anger that they were suppressing, none of them actually dared to take a step forward to oppose Jack. He was able to do what he had just done because he had the strength.r

They as mercenaries definitely knew that strength was supreme in a battlefield. As long as they were weak, they would be unable to say a word, and neither could they bargain. They had no right. They were not as strong as Jack, and neither were they as wealthy as him.r

Seeing that nobody was leaving, Jack began speaking again. "I'll give you guys ten seconds, as long as you don't leave within ten seconds, I'll assume that you are willing to work for me and that you've got no complaints about being a guard."r

"But, after ten seconds, if you will not have left by then, as long as you complain or try making a fuss here, you will have a worse fate than the guys on the ground."r

"The countdown starts now. Ten… nine… eight… seven… six… five… four… three… two… one… Time's up!"r
