For the very first time in his life, Jerome couldn't help but step back out of fear.
To him, his son's words is like that of a fated prophecy.
Just like Kent, who's born with a unique trait called Empath. Jackson, as well, is born with a unique trait, and it's called precognition.
Jackson could see through some random events that could bring either a blessing or harm to him and to those he shared the closest relationship.
Using such ability that been passed to their bloodline since ancient times. The Kim household we're able to establish a steady, profound foundation called the Sky Kim Enterprise Corp.
Just a moment ago, a second before Kent confront the guards, Jackson clearly see both his own and his father's end getting rip apart to Kent's hands.
This unique ancient bloodline inheritance trait of them is showing them their inevitable cruel death.
--This can't be, this can't be true. We need to escape.
But to their dismay, another pair of guards we're sent flying before smashing to the nearby wine cabinet and chairs.
UHH!
The two had both of their right arms twisted in a 360° angle.
Smiling Kent shouted. "I let you off with a broken right arm, so stay there and behave like a proper dog."
The two remaining guards, a man, and a woman, looked at each other, while gazing at Kent.
Fear can be seen in their eyes, each one of them had gone through harsh training for years, almost losing their lives a couple of times'.
Yet, the young man in front of them is treating them like a child, easily parrying or dodging the techniques they've mastered all their lives.
Such humiliation isn't just a simple insult to their pride.
It's more like the young man is showing how pathetic the skills they mastered ally their lives.
Just from a few bouts, they could ascertain that Kent's technique, reaction time and battle experience far surpassed them.
To them, Kent looked like a magnificent towering impenetrable wall, looking down to their pathetic performance.
The two remaining guards readied their stance, preparing to attack.
It was at this moment when Kent once again spoke.
--Hey! You guys, why don't we make a bet.
--Bet?
--Yes, yes, a bet… fighting these meaningless battle is pointless.
Hearing such words, the guards couldn't help but avoid Kent's gaze out of shame. They're fighters, the six of them we're considered elites in the society, yet they're ganging up on a single young man.
Furthermore, they couldn't even touch a single hair from such young man. Moreover, four of them is already down, immobile.
--I don't accept this bed, just kill that kid and be done with it. Jerome shouted.
But to his actions, the six guards gave him a glare, he got their ire. For fighters a bet is honor where their lives is at stake and one's a bet is requested between fighters, respect is a must.
Meaning, the other party is respecting their efforts and knowledge, no matter how weak or strong a fighter is.
So, Jerome interrupting such request is like shaming the six of them.
[This bastard who knew nothing about the dark society sure have guts.]
Albert Lean listening to the side hiding behind the table couldn't help but shook his head, unable to comprehend how can this rival of him won against him.
--The bet is simple, I won't move in this spot for ten seconds, you can attack me with all your might.
--Touching even a hair in me is considered a victory in your side.
--What's the catch?
One of the remaining guards, ask in a hesitant voice.
--Trust me there's no catch, do you really think you could harm me with that skills of yours?
Hearing such mocking words to their skills, the thus used couldn't help but bit their lips and clenched their fist out of shame.
--I respected every fighter I meet, and I am not disrespecting you teachers. I am just showing the difference in our skills.
--If you guys won I will leave sparing your lives.
--And if we lost.
---Don't worry I won't kill you, what you need to do is let me be, as I kill those two bastard that tried to harm my family.
[So that's why such monster dare to barged in here, these two morons dare to touch a monster's family.]
In thought, Albert Lean couldn't help laughing dryly.
The six found the arrangement reasonable, it isn't like that swear an oath of loyalty to Sky Kim Enterprise Corp.
Kent, purposely include the term family to create a concrete justified reason for his actions, and as a result both the group of six guards and Albert Lean had a good impression to Kent's actions.
--No! I can't accept such one-sided demands. We pay you people to protect us, you can't just accept such demands without my permission.
Jerome shouted, panicking, on the other side Jackson couldn't help but felt the premonition becoming true.
--Shut up, you two don't have the right to order us anymore, this is a private matter between fighters, so the two of you don't have a say on it.
One of the guards, the one laying down on the side, shouted in anger.
The fighters, touching one's family is the most unforgivable crime one would commit, due to Kent's statement of Sky Kim Enterprise Corp. touching his family, the group's hesitation disappeared.
"TSK" Jerome couldn't help but bit his lip out of anger, his face turning red due to frustration. "Jackson's premonition is becoming true as the second passed by."
Just as the atmosphere stiffen, one of the guards spoken. "We're willing to accept the bet, but we would like to change the contract."
--If we win, will capture you.
The guard announced, showing that he isn't afraid of Kent.
--Oh ho? And where did that determination come from! You think you have the right to make a bet.
The moment Kent finished his sentence, an overwhelming pressure spread throughout the room, forcing everyone's body to stiffen at the same time getting smashed to the floor.
