Chapter 74 - Fed Up With Life
=====
Title: Nut-Cracking Fiend
One who has become recognized as the ender of posterity, the enemy of men. The one who pushes Humpty Dumpties off their walls.
There is a 10% chance men will tremble in fear and feel their manhood tingle when the title bearer gazes at them.
=====
'...Are you serious right now? I literally used the Nut Cracker skill like twice! Not to mention, you were the one who gave me this skill! You cannot just start giving me titles on a whim!' Albion mentally complained.
Although the buff seems good, why does it irritate him so much to have such a title? Was it because it sounded like he enjoys grabbing other men's balls?!
[Correction; the host was the one who requested the skill purchase. According to Goldfinger's calculations, Nut Cracker matched the host's purchase request.]
[Second Correction; the title is not entirely decided by the system but determined by the number of recognitions from others.]
Goldfinger patiently explained.
'I asked for the most ...lethal and cheap claw skill...' Albion complained before his lips twitched in realization.
Goldfinger was not exactly wrong. Still, who would have known that the Dark Emperor possessed such a skill?
Albion was speechless.
Shortly after, Albion scanned the surrounding mess before his eyes locked onto a group of officers peeking from behind a broken table knocked on its sides.
"Was it you? You think I am a Nut-Cracking Fiend?" Albion pointed before directing his gaze to another, "Or was it you?"
"Hiiiii—! It's not me, young master!" The officer responded with trepidation. At the same time, he was shocked in his heart.
How did this person know he thought the person was a Nut-Cracking Fiend?! Can this person read his mind?!
"Are you sure about that?" Albion narrowed his eyes in scrutiny, "You look'in kinda sus, though... It was you, right?"
"Please spare my balls, sir! I didn't mean to offend you!" The officer immediately dropped to his knees and kowtowed in fear.
Albion was quickly taken aback by the title coming into effect so soon. It must be.
"Did I say I was going to touch your balls? Why would you just assume that? Is that what you want instead?" Albion queried with a raised brow.
The other two officers immediately gave the person a weird look before the person was shocked. That is a grave misunderstanding!
"Not at all, young master!" The officer vehemently denied.
"No need to get so worked up. I was just joking. Besides, probably all of you think of me as some Nut-Cracking Fiend, no?" Albion's eyes narrowed on the other two police officers before they also quickly dropped to the knees and begged for forgiveness, "Please spare us, young master! We have a family to feed!"
"What does having a family to feed have anything to do with your... oh~I get it. You need to feed your wives at night, amirite?" Albion grinned in understanding.
The officers were a bit speechless, but they quickly nodded vigorously.
"Ahem, anyways. I don't usually go grabbing the balls of people, so you all better not be spreading so weird rumors about me, alright?" Albion spoke seriously after a cough.
The three officers repeatedly nodded once more.
"Good." Albion nodded.
Shortly after, Captain Wudi approached after handing Hugh Bawles over for someone else to handle.
"Captain CaoWudi." Albion greeted first before Captain Wudi's expression froze.
"Just Captain Wudi or Wudi is fine, young master." Captain Wudi said awkwardly.
"Hmm, but I think Captain CaoWudi suits you just fine, though?"
"Well... if you insist." Captain Wudi's expression became forced. Shortly after, he inquired with respect, "May I ask who you are, young master?"
"If I said I am a big gang lord, would you continue to arrest and interrogate me?" Albion asked casually.
Captain Wudi quickly sweated before he recovered with a witty response, "Of course not, young master. How can I possibly arrest such a good law-abiding citizen like you, who even helped us caught two famous criminals?"
"Oh, I see." Albion responded nonchalantly before asking, "But do I need to pay for the damages?"
"Not at all, young master. You can leave at any time."
"Any time? Great. I kind of like it here. I think I will stay." Albion said.
Captain Wudi immediately staggered with distress before he dropped to his knees and hugged Albion's thighs, "Take it as I am begging you to leave, young master. We can't afford your esteemed company?"
"Why?" Albion gave him a dumb look.
'Why? Why your sister! Can't you see the whole station is about to collapse due to the conflict between you and the Bloodmoon Gang?!' Captain Wudi mentally cussed with a disheveled expression.
Boom!
The building shook due to a sudden explosion.
Shortly after, a female officer came crying, "Captain Wudi, the station just got hit by a rocket launcher! We just lost the conference meeting room!"
"What?!" Captain Wudi exclaimed before he became enraged.
"They have gone mad! Do they think that just because we turn a blind eye to what they do, they can just trample all over us? ...Well, yes! Absolutely! Yes, they can! F*ck!" The captain cursed with frustration at their uselessness.
At the same time, the surroundings officers immediately staggered. Just when they thought that their captain had finally grown some balls.
Shortly after, Captain Wudi cooled down before he pleaded, "Young master, I beg you to leave and take your fight elsewhere."
"What about my reward?" Albion asked casually. He was not in a hurry to leave.
"What do you want as a reward? You can take anything!" Captain Wudi said urgently before Albion glanced at him wolfishly like he was just waiting for those words.
"Anything?"
"Anything!"
Sometime later, Albion roamed the station for a bit, even paid the infirmary a visit, before ultimately leaving with a bag filled with weapons and special Phantasmium-coated ammunition from the armory room.
As for the Tiger-Dragon Brothers, he left them alive in the police station to act as bait for the time being.
Watching Albion's departing figure from the main lobby's entrance, Officer Phuc whispered, "Is it a good idea to give away our stuff like that? Won't you get in trouble with the chief, captain?"
"What else can I do except comply with that person's wishes? Have you seen someone as young as him toy around with Initiate Realm Level 12 Hunters like it's nothing? Only Grandmasters of the Innate Realm can do something like that!"
"Grandmasters..." Officer Phuc smiled wryly, "Even among the leading Level 40 Hunters in the world, only a few have achieved the Innate Realm. And they have all been enthroned as King Hunters. Such figures are like gods to us."
"Exactly. Even just a Bloodmoon Gang is considered a god to us. And when gods battle, mortals suffer." Captain Wudi sighed before he said, "I might lose my job and go jail if the chief is not lenient, f*ck me."
"Yes?" Officer Phuc answered.
"No, not you. Me."
"Yes, I am Mi."
"...Are you f*cking kidding me?" Captain Wudi asked with a darkened expression.
Officer Phuc was surprised before he quickly denied earnestly, "I would not dare, sir!"
Shortly after, Captain Wudi sighed before pulling over a mostly-intact chair to slump back and rest on. However, the chair leg snapped, causing him to fall flat on his back.
"Sigh! Such bad luck!" Captain Wudi sighed out loud as he laid on the ground.
He was so fed up with life that he was ready to stick a handgun into his mouth and end it all.
