Babacino would never tolerate anyone swindling in the territory he patrolled.
What Babacino hated the most was the news of a noble being taken away by an alchemist in a certain area of the king's city.
Now, he actually heard that someone was committing fraud!
And it was done in broad daylight. It was plainly contempt for the law, and this was simply unforgivable.
In Babacino's opinion, even if Mike was a noble, as long as he had done something illegal, he would be arrested and severely punished today.
With this thought in mind, Babacino and his group arrived at the center of the city in a grandiose manner.
In the streets that they passed by, the residents all became nervous and could not help but ask questions in their hearts.
"Hasn't the honorable captain of the knights always been patrolling at the edge of the city-state? What kind of major event has happened that he has to personally come here?"
Therefore, with a curious thought, some residents who were not aware of the situation followed Babacino from afar.
Soon, they arrived at the gym.
As expected, what the subordinates said was right. There were indeed many citizens around the gym.
However, there was something strange.
Looking at their faces, Babacino discovered that the people were truly happy. There was not a single trace of anger from being deceived. Everyone was like this.
Babacino could not help but wonder whether Mike's fraudulent scheme was exceptionally good. These citizens were still in the dark.
Before anything else, the knights should not alert the enemy first!
Babacino decided to wait and watch for a while. He wanted to see what Mike was up to.
Hence, Babacino asked the knights to disperse. He went back and called for more people. He quietly snuck into the crowd of citizens by himself.
It didn't seem to be a big deal, but after seeing it, Babacino was greatly shocked.
Babacino saw with his own eyes a thin and weak man enter, but when that weak man came out, he became a muscular man. Babacino could not believe that it was the same person from the beginning to the end.
What kind of magical thing was a gym?
Could it be that Mike had gotten a shapeshifting potion from a witch?
However, the shapeshifting potion could only change one's appearance, not one's strength. Babacino could see the difference between the two.
So, he became even more suspicious.
To investigate the truth, Babacino pretended to be natural. He paid 500 gold coins like an ordinary guest and entered the gym.
After ranting how Mike was so crazy about making money that he even charged 500 gold coins, Babacino was immediately intimidated by the decoration of the gym.
In the spacious room, there was a well-organized, nameless machine, and a harmonious environment.
This was completely different from what Babacino had imagined. He didn't even know what this black machine was.
Where did Mike get it from?
Just as he was in a daze, a servant came to him and asked him what he wanted to exercise.
Only then did Babacino slowly realize that, yes, he was here to investigate the gym.
Thinking of this, Babacino answered the question randomly, and the servant brought him to the treadmill in the equipment area.
Following that, Babacino was given simple instructions on how to operate it.
Babacino's initial distrust began to loosen up.
Wasn't it just a small machine? Even if it was a ploy or a witch's trick, wouldn't his swordsmanship be able to handle it?
As for the claim that the gym could make people stronger quickly, Babacino didn't believe it at all.
So, he stepped on it.
Twenty minutes later…
Babacino felt the changes in his body and immediately jumped off the treadmill to check.
After checking, he found that he had become stronger.
Oh my god, this was unprecedented!
One had to know that after reaching a certain level in Danafu City, if one did not seek higher power in the outside world, they could only maintain their current level.
This was not only the case for him, but it was also the case for many of the strong people in the Napsia Empire.
After so many years, the Napsia Empire had already accepted the fact that the great swordsman was the ceiling for the strong.
And now, they were actually telling him that he did not need to run to the Savage Land, the city of the Northern Territory. Just by training in the gym for 20 minutes, he could break through the Napsia Empire's status quo that had been unchangeable for a hundred years.
If this were to spread out, it would simply alarm all the citizens and even the king!
At this moment, Captain Babacino only felt a surge of emotions!
He couldn't wait to report this to the king.
But at this moment...
On the other side, not long after Captain Babacino left, the knights received the news and rushed over.
Presumably, at this moment, the respected Captain Babacino had already exposed that d*mn liar and captured him!
Mike must be brought to justice.
As for Mike, he had already called a few servants to guard the gym. He had been lying in his office and had become stronger. He still didn't know what was happening outside.
However, the system had given him a notification. Suddenly, there was an experience point that was different from the others, and it was growing very fast.
[Ding! A customer is training in the gym. Reward: Spirit Point +10]
[Reward: Fire Control Magic]
Mike opened his eyes, and a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.
He remembered that when he had just been bound to the system, there was an explanation that the more people there were, the stronger he would become. However, there was also a description that the stronger the person who came to train, the more rewards he would receive.
The rewards suddenly became bountiful. Could it be that someone came to his gym to exercise?
Thinking of this, Mike planned to go out and see the person who brought him such a bountiful reward.
It was best to recruit more people like him to give him more experience.
However, the situation outside the office made Mike unable to react.
