Jake tapped on all the arts and a lot of information began to flow into this brain. He wanted to learn these new styles as a back up in case of need.
The new arts were not so easy to practice and Jake had to make it in time to meet the actual culprit behind the old man's condition.
"Emergency Mission: Skill training
The host needs to get acquainted with multiple skills within a short amount of time to have enough power to face a future situation.
Objective: Learn the two arts (0/2)
Rewards: Agility +2, Endurance +2"
Just when he thought about trying to master the arts in a fast pace, a mission like this one appeared in his face, asking him to learn in exchange of tremendous rewards.
Leon was confident that he would be able to take care of the situation just by the additional stats he was going to acquire from the mission.
If he gained those two, he could have crushed that awakened with brute strength without using any kind of skill.
Jake began to train the arts and he wasn't sucessful in the first few tries. He continued to practice again and again, until he finally managed to gain some comprehension regarding the flow of the art itself.
The next stage was understanding and becoming able to predict the flow before executing the successive move in a progressive manner in a faster rate.
The practice continued and Jake didn't take a single break or spared any time in sleep. The old man's injured body and bruised face came into his memory, fanning the flames of anger in his mind.
Jake's persistence eventually paid off, as he managed to complete the mission just before 5 pm.
"Emergency Training Mission.
Status: Success
Rewards are being granted"
"Jake Grant
Level-4
Strength:25
Endurance: 27
Agility:27
Mana:15"
Jake felt his body growing and his strength increasing along with the feeling of becoming lighter than before.
All the preparation were complete and he could begin the execution phase of his plan. He wasn't going to let those prices of shit get away with what they did to the old man.
That fucking young master needs to die.
.....
7 PM, infront of the Bistro-
Jake was waiting while wearing the suit he had gained from the body of the dead guards. He put them on to blend into the situation.
He didn't know who young master Hai was and hence he had no choice but to wait for him to ping.
As expected, the call came minutes later and Jake picked it up.
"I am standing in front of the bistro's side gate. Lilian and Wayne are present with me
Come fast."
Jake looked around and managed to locate the side gate of the Bistro. As expected, a group of three.werw.standing near a car , waiting for someone.
"Young Master Hai." Jake came forward and greeted them with a bow.
The trio looked at him with surprise and vigilance. Two figures, who looked like they were accompanying the third guy, came forward and stood between them.
"Who are you?" The duo asked.
"The leader send me to accompany you
He is securing the internal area of the Bistro as we speak and asked me to lead you there through the protected pathway so that no harm comes on you." Jake said. He wanted to play a bet.
Fortunately for him, the duo nodded and looked at the man behind.
"As expected of Hill. He managed to come here before me and secure the area. Lead me to the entrance. Prepare to attack any time the deal seems to go sideways.
Jake nodded and led them to the back of the Bistro.
The trio accompanied him to the backstreet which was secluded and isolated from the surrounding.
Just when they were about to reach the gate,Jake turned around and faced the trio. He then took the coat off and loosened the shirts.
The trio became vigilant in an instant.
"Well, now that we are in an ideal area, should we begin the execution." Jake said while streching his body.
"Combat Mission: Defeat the three awakened before you
Objective: Extermination (0/3)
Rewards: Mana +2, Strength +2.
Special Rewards: Occular Skill."
The duo came forward and released their energy. Although they were better than the fighter he face din the ring, they were below the leader.
"Who are you? Where is Hill?" The man behind asked with a nervous tone.
"Isn't then situation speaking out to you? I guess I will have to show you." Jake said.
"How dare you try and attack the young master?" The duo rushed towards him and attacked him with full strength. The punches seemed to have made proper contact with something solid, and a energy burst covered the area.
When the chaos subsided, something way bizarre and shocking came into view. Jake.had managed grab both their attacks with his bare hands. He could have done that with the lease, and with his enhanced strength and facing these two clowns, the situation seemed kind of funny.
Jake broke the hands of one of the guard, while kicking the abdomen of the other, crushing her skeleton. he didn't allow them to react at all as he continued to crush their bone and attack their vital points.
Minutes later-
Two badly mangled body lay on the floor, dead. The young man was looking towards Jake in horror. Who was this monster? He didn't remember ever provoking someone like him.
"Who are you? Who send you here? Why are you doing this to me?" The young master asked.
"For a awakened, your power level is good, but you acting skills are terrible." Out of three people, Jake.couod clearly sense the most danger from this guy.
The previously worried expression on the young master's face vanished in an instant, and was replaced with a disgusted look.
"To think that these scums wouldn't be able to take care of a single human, who hasn't even used his talents skill or energy." The young said while shaking his head.
"How about this? Become my servant and I will give you ten times more than whichever party is paying you to go after my life." The young master said.
To his surprise though, Jake seemed to be amused.
"What are you laughing at?" The young man asked.
"It is just fun to see you disposing off your subordinates without any hesitation. For a leader, you are sure one piece of shit. Anyway, it doesn't matter, as a dead man isn't kuch big a deal." Jake said.
"Keeping useless people around me wouldn't be beneficial for my cause. As for killing me, you seem awfully confident. It is not good to get confident without knowing the true extent of a enemy's power." The young man vanished from his spot and appeared above Jake attacking him.
Jake was surprised to expirience such great speed, but that was all there was to it. The attack wasn't much big a deal for him. He dodged it by leaning sideways and attacked the young master, to the right of his face.
The attack was so powerful, that the young master flew some distance before he could gain control and land.
The previously smug and confident expression was no where it be seen. The opponent this time wasn't something to scoff at.
Jake took this chance and began his attack after equipping the knuckles. the continued to attack and dodge.
The two were locked in a stalemate, but the young master Hai was the one taking the damage, while Jake simply moved around.
The Intermidiate movement and punching skill were far above the basic ones.
The attacks continued and eventually, young master Hai's rib broken got crushed and he vomitted out blood.
The surprising part was the fact that he spit blood directly into Jake's face, trying to blind him, while throwing sma needles at him.
The needles pierced Jake's body and he could feel something spreading across it.
"The host has come in contact with poisonous substance. Poison resistence skill will come into action. Poison Resistence is working."
"Posion resistence has increased by a level. Posion resistence is working. Poison resistence had levelled up. Detoxification is beginning.
Time required: 30 seconds."
Jake was unable to move within this time and he kneeled down pretending to be hurt.
"How does it feel to get pierced by the 100 modification venom. I brought it by paying. premium price in the black market to use as a last resort."
"I never expected to meet someone like you. You are way stronger than any of subordinate even without using your energy and skill..I guess you could have easily eliminated us if not for your overconfidence and arrogance."
The young master said as he stomped on Jake's body continously, trying to inflict more and more damage to his injured body.
Moments later-
After he got frustrated from hiting Jake, he brought a weapon out of nowhere and held it against Jake's neck.
" Shall we end this?" He said before cleaving the sword downwards.
The next moment though, something forcefully grabbed the sword.
"It never expect it to take so long." To the young master's horror, Jake was standing infront of him without a hint of injury.
"How." The young master said before his face was hit was an incredibly poweful fist containing both Jake's strength and a little bit of magic power.
"The detoxification.process has ended. Host's poison resistence had levelled up."
