Chapter 55 Handsome Stranger
Chapter 55 Handsome Stranger
When Kim was ordered to come at Jake, he received a system message.
<Ding! Hostility has been discovered.>
<Defeat your opponents for +2 stat points in whatever attributes you want.>
'At last, what I couldn't get for the past year, I finally have the chance of getting it.' Jake smiled. 'At least, the rewards aren't coming up with question marks which means I can handle the..' Jake's thought was interrupted by a punch heading his way from Kim.
'Haha too slow.' Jake thought as he quickly ducked avoiding the punch and then he punched Kim's stomach hard that sent him skidding.
Then Jake stood up straight and Kim also stopped skidding. Kim dashed towards Jake again and then he threw a hook towards Jake's stomach but Jake quickly pivoted sideways and then gave Kim a strong axe kick on his head that sent him go crashing down on the floor not even moving one bit.
This stunned everyone inside the room. But it was Scar's scream that snapped everyone out of their thoughts. "You dare go against us? Do you know who we are? We are members of the Iron Fist Guild, the third to the strongest independent Guild. And you dared to disobey one of us? Now you're gonna seriously get hurt."

Jake just smiled and took a stance seemingly unfazed about their words or threat. "Bring it on."
Scar looked towards the remaining two men by his side and he signalled them to attack Jake. They both started running towards Jake.
"You know this is the perfect time to gain experience of how to fight against humans in reality rather than some silly game." Zee said.
"Yeah yeah, I have heard now let me concentrate." Jake said as Scar's men were now upon him.
One of Scar's men, swung his sword right at Jake's neck but Jake managed to avoid it and then a punch landed on Jake's facing sending him skidding back. 'shit shit! I kinda forgot that am fighting two people.'
Jake just smiled again seemingly unfazed and then he quickly brought up his system skills. And activated<Strength surge>, <stun strike> on the one with the sword and now Jake was finally ready.
Quickly dashing forward, Jake was now one metre away from the other one then he activated<step shift> and suddenly, Jake was in front of him. With a punch to the face, he was sent flying back and crashing down on so many tables therefore breaking them.
Helen who was far back was now starstruck by what she could see. "I knew, I knew there was something interesting about him. But how is he able to send full grown up men flying like that? Based on his appearance, he shouldn't be older than 17. So how?" Helen asked with her mouth agape but she quickly closed it and decided to focus on the fight.
Now feeling the effect of <stun strike> wearing off, the swordsman was now ready to attack Jake but he was too late as Jake had already activated step shift to create distance of one metre therefore causing his sword strike to miss. Then quickly using step shift again, Jake was suddenly in front of him and then with a slap to the face, the man was sent flying back and laying there unconscious.
Then Jake calmly walked towards Scar who was now trembling with the mixture of anger and fear. "You… you shouldn't have done that. You will surely regret this."
"Do you think I care?" Jake asked as he used the step shift to quickly appear in front of scar. "I wasn't going to disturb your business but what you did really pissed me off so I'm gonna tell you to return all the credits you collected from this people now."
Scar didn't know what came over him, he felt obliged to obey. Maybe it was because of the boy's strange look or the display of strength but something in his body made him obey and refund everyone their credits. Then Jake smiled as he looked at Scar's watch.
"Oh will you look at that, you still have over 2000 credits, you don't mind me taking some do you?" Jake asked as he quickly took the watch and transfered a thousand credits to his own watch.
'this will have to do until I am able to solve my money problem.'
Feeling satisfied, Jake now turned around to leave and then Scar who suddenly realized about everything that happened decided to act fast. 'No no, I can't let him get away without paying him back for humiliating me so much.'
Quickly dashing forward, Scar drew his weapon and then tried to stab Jake but a scream managed to alert Jake. "Behind you handsome stranger." Helen screamed and then she realized that she had called Jake handsome and then her cheeks went all red. 'it doesn't matter, you didn't know his name and am sure he didn't hear that part.'
Hearing the scream, Jake quickly turned around in time and then he caught the blade that managed to draw his blood which came as a surprise to Jake. With his high level of Endurance, even an intermediate weapon will find it hard to draw his blood which means, Scar's weapon was higher than an intermediate weapon.
Seeing his blood dripping on the floor, made Jake's eyes burn with fury and then he looked at Scar. "You… you tried to kill me?"
Scar didn't respond as he was struggling to push the blade into Jake's stomach to finish him once and for all. But Jake just furiously snap the blade but he struggled before he could do so then with half of the blade in his hand, Jake thrust it forward with full speed and strength that not many people could keep up with towards Scar's neck but his hand was stopped.
"Stop!" The voice ordered. And then turning around, Jake could see that it was a soldier holding his hand. Quickly realizing what he was about to do, Jake was now feeling quite guilty so he quickly left there by running away with full speed.
Scar also left but not without waking his gang members up. 'i promise kid, I'm gonna pay you back with interest for what you did.' Scar thought as he left the Guildhall.
Meanwhile Helen was now upset that she didn't even get to know the boy's name. "I hope we meet again."
