Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 238: An Act of Goodwill

Fiona noticed Mark looking up at her, and her heart skipped a beat as he grinned at her discreetly before speaking up calmly.

"Firstly, I don't like people touching me without permission, you're not my girlfriend. Secondly, I'm already a part of a guild. Fiona over there is my guild master, so if you want to borrow me for a mission then you can talk to her."

The whispers and murmurs in the room increased as Mark said this, and almost everyone in the room turned to look at Fiona in shock!

"GHOST is a part of the Artemis Guild!? That's news to me!"

"Why would GHOST join a guild as weak as that!? Does he not know that they cannot do anything for him!?"

"The Artemis Guild are really smart! They were able to scout GHOST before he became strong, and now he will boost their prestige!"

Fiona could feel an uncontrollable feeling of joy swelling inside her body from her toes right up to the tip of her hair, and a large blush bloomed on her face as she saw Mark turn to her and give her a small smirk! This damn Casanova! What did he think he was doing right now? Is this his way of apologizing for not taking my side the other time!?

Fiona couldn't stop her lips from splitting into a smile even if she wanted to, and she could only bring up her fan and cover her face to hide her embarrassment a little. She stood straight and made sure that no one could tell that she was affected in any way as she gave them all a blank look while reveling in the attention.

She winked back at Mark, and Mark just scoffed as he turned to look at Gunter again.

"Well, there you have it. I can't join you. I'll be on my way now."

Gunter tilted his head to one side in surprise as he heard what Mark said. On the outside, Gunter looked unaffected by what Mark did, but on the inside, there was a deep well of anger that was being filled by raw spite! He glanced up at Fiona in the examiner's deck before looking back at Mark.

"Are you sure you don't want to be a part of something larger than what the Artemis Guild can give you? When we compare the reach of the two guilds, the Artemis Guild is not even a footnote in the Ravager's book."

Mark shrugged.

"And yet, that is the guild I'm a part of. You'll just have to live with it. Now you'll have to excuse me. I need to freshen up."

Mark stared right up at Gunter with an emotionless gaze as the tension in the room seemed to almost triple in an instant! Mark might have spoken politely to Gunter, but everyone there could immediately tell the hidden meaning behind Mark's words.

'Get the fuck out of my way.'

That was basically what everyone heard, and the tension that was brought into the room from those words felt like it could be cut by a knife! No one spoke, no one moved! It even seemed like no one dared to breathe for a moment! They were all waiting to see what Gunter would do.

They all knew how hot-tempered the taller hunter was, and they knew that if Gunter was really pushed, he would not hesitate to lash out. There was a high chance that they would all become collateral damage at a moment's notice!

BAM!

"What's this I hear about an ELDRITCH CLASS!!?"

Someone suddenly barged into the room with gusto, and the tension in the room seemed to immediately die away as the person entered. The man who entered was a chubby-looking man who was extremely short. At his full height, he was barely up to Mark's chest; he wore large black-rimmed glasses and a fresh and clean suit that made him look very presentable.

His name was George Tanner, and he was the Deputy Director of the Superhuman Association who was in charge of overseeing all the activities that happened within the association.

George was actually a normal human who had no blessing at all, but his inquisitive mind and his connections with the superhuman world made him rise through the ranks quickly and put him in the position of Deputy Director right below the strongest superhuman in the American Government.

Once George heard in his office that there was an assessment going on for Ghost, he was immediately curious and told his assistant to constantly update him about it so that he would know what was going on.

His assistant, a tall beautiful woman with blond hair, a large bust, and long legs that were covered with black socks under her pencil skirt suit, was constantly overseeing the exam, and once she saw that the Eldritch Class monster was summoned, she went and called the Deputy Director.

George was pissed. It didn't matter if there were no casualties! It was against the code for anyone to be given an ELDRITCH class monster as an assessment without that person signing off a contract that would absolve the government of all responsibility in case they died!

Mark did not sign anything, so if he had died in that test, then the government would have been the one to bear all the consequences! What the hell did Sasha think she was doing!?

"SASHA!!"

"Ah~! You're going to make me deaf, shorty! Stop shouting, I'm right here!"

Sasha was fidgeting her hands and looking away in annoyance as George got to her and started shouting at her angrily! He barely got up to Sasha's shoulder, so it was extremely comical to see him shouting at her and making her look away in guilt like that!

"We are going to have a lot of words, young lady! A lot of words! You need to learn restraint! You'll be getting a very large sanction for this! What would you have done if he had died in there!?"

"He didn't die, so everything is fine! Why are you getting so worked up?"

"That is not the point! The point is that you shouldn't have done it at all! You know the rules better than anyone, so you should know better!"

The Deputy Director looked like he was about to have a heart attack with how much he was shouting. His face was red, and he was breathing heavily from the exertion! He put his hand to the side, and his tall secretary immediately bent down low to hand him an inhaler that he used to calm himself down.

Almost every man in the room couldn't stop their eyes from trailing towards the tall secretary's ass as she bent down. Her ass tightened against her pencil skirt and stretched it to the max, and some of her skin became exposed in the space between her shirt and her socks!

Damn, talk about an ass!

Even Mark couldn't help but admit that her ass was an absolute work of art!

It was round and shaped like a peach, and from how it tightened against the skirt, you knew that your hands would immediately sink into her skin if you touch that ass! It was just that soft!

But even though it was good, Mark knew that Arit's was better.

George turned away from Sasha after he was done shouting at her, and he put his hands together and smiled while coming towards Mark.
