[Emergency mission program activated. Advance reward, Professional Combatant. Accompanying task that you'll have to complete so that you can permanently have the reward is as follows: Task; Earn money by participating and winning a fighting competition. Time limit, 7 days.]
Jack: "…."
Jack was surprised by the system. What the heck with the mission. Although he liked having even more skills that were offered by the system, he really was stunned by the fact that the system just offered him an ability or skill? Without even there being some trigger.
If he remembered everything well, the time that he was offered the professional driving skill, it was a moment that, if he didn't even know how to drive the car that he'd bought, he surely was going to get embarrassed.
In such a situation, the emergency mission program was activated and he was given the skill that allowed him to not embarrass himself.
Now, he was being offered the professional combatant skill or…ability? He wondered if he was in danger or if he was supposed to fight someone. But, according to how things were, since he was inside his own mansion and there were several guards, it meant that he was supposed to be safe as long as a person with a gun didn't show up.
'System, what's up with this mission?' Jack took a deep breath before asking. He was quite tensed at this moment as he felt some kind of premonition. It was as if there was some kind of danger that was looming around him.
[The system can see what the host needs at a specific time. So, it offers what is needed at the right moment. Since the emergency program has been activated, then it implies that there is a risk of someone beating you up or forcing you to do something.]
[Since that is the case, you should accept the mission as soon as possible or you might as well look for other countermeasures.]
Upon hearing the system's reply, Jack was now sure that there was something wrong. After all, according to the introduction about the system, it was one that came out of the blue planet.
In other words, it was an alien. But all the same, it was useful. It had already proven its abilities by multiplying his income by a hundred times or giving him several rewards after he received his first income.
With its ability to make the guards ignore the presence of the Eurocopter that wasn't there previously was already a show of its strength. Now that it had stated that he was in some kind of danger, he immediately decided to take action by accepting the mission.
'I accept the mission.' Jack stated.
[Mission accepted. Advance mission reward granted. Task; Earn money by participating and winning a fighting competition. Time limit, 7 days. Failure to complete the task would lead to the host losing the ability as well as receiving the system's punishment.]
Till this moment, Jack wasn't sure what type of punishment the system administered to a person if he failed to complete the task on time. But, he wasn't interested to test it on himself. Furthermore, he wasn't willing to lose the reward that he'd just received.
Just as he was about to get immersed in his thoughts, he was forced out of that state by the warm current that ran through his body. Followed by that, some unfamiliar memories entered his mind and merged with his current ones.
At this moment, he felt that his body contained unimaginable strength. He felt that he could shatter a wall with a single punch. But, all of this was an illusion as he hadn't tested the limit of his strength yet.
After a moment, he felt that there was something in his right hand. Looking at it, he found that he still had his phone. And, the call was still ongoing and at the same time, there was a male voice coming through.
"Jack, are you there? This is an emergency. Tell me where you're right now!" Dalton yelled. He had been trying to talk to him and ask for his current location but at the end of it all, Jack didn't reply to any of his questions since he stopped cursing him.
Jack got irritated by the other party's commanding tone. Who are you trying to command,? Do you even know me? You better get lost at this moment.
As these thoughts passed through his mind, he hang up the call. There was nothing that could be spoken between the two of them as they were no different from strangers.
After that, he immediately added this contact to the blacklist. After all, he didn't want someone to disturb his current life.
After that, he began thinking of how things were. The system had given an emergency mission. On the other hand, Dalton was asking for his location. This implied that there was no coincidence at all. It implied that the danger that was coming was obviously related to Alfonso family in one way or the other.
He sighed before going to the basement where there was a gym.
…..
Whirl! Whirl! Whirl!
At this time inside a helicopter, Dalton's face darkened the moment that Jack hang up on him. He tried calling once again but found that he was blocked. He took a deep breath before turning to Steve as he asked, "Have they tracked his location?"
Dalton wasn't an idiot. He knew that since Jack left the mansion on his own and was letter informed that he had been expelled from the family, it was obvious that he wouldn't agree to go back with him.
So, he decided to track his location during the call. But of course, the one that was tracking his location wasn't on the helicopter with them. Instead, he was back at the mansion. So, he had Steve call that hacker while he called Jack.
The good thing was the fact that, although Jack had at a point stopped talking, he hadn't hang up yet. In other words, the duration should be enough for the hacker to get Jack's current location via the call.
"Y-yes. But, I'm not sure if the location that has been stated is the real one." Steve stammered the moment that Dalton asked. Although he was quite angry at the fact that his useless half-sibling was the one that had been selected, he knew that he would have to give in at the moment.
But, the reason for stammering wasn't because he was afraid of Jack's counterattack. Not at all. It was absolutely something different.
"What's wrong with the location?" Upon seeing Steve's expression, Dalton frowned as he asked.
"N-not at all. It's just that- just that the location doesn't seem like somewhere that Jack should be at." Steve replied.
"Let me see." Dalton frown deepened as he took the phone from Steve's hand. He looked at the location that had been sent over to them. There was a statement first; Inchoate city, Windhill residential area, Prince and Princess Palace.
Immediately below that was an attached screenshot of the locator. It showed that the call came from one of the two mansions.
When Dalton saw this, he immediately frowned even more. Just like Steve, he didn't think that Jack could afford to live in such a place. After all, although they were not living in Inchoate city, as a neighboring city, they could easily get the information about this special palace.
After thinking things through, he gave the pilot the location and asked him to fly over there. He had to get Jack back to Crystal city at all costs. If he failed, not only would the opportunity to have his family rise disappear, it might as well invite a calamity.
Furthermore, there was still his father who would surely not let him go. After all, he made the decision behind his father's back.
…
Jack didn't know that his current location was already exposed. Otherwise, he would have surely gotten out of the mansion to welcome them 'warmly'.
Anyway, currently, he was busy trying his strength inside the gym. The results were mind-blowing. Not only had his strength greatly increased, even his speed as well as reaction speed increased. The control of his own body had also heighten in such a way that there were no wasteful movements.
His strength, speed, reaction speed as well as other parameters that were related to his body were five times that of a healthy adult man. In other words, if an adult's strength was about a hundred kilograms, his was five hundred.
There was no need to talk about speed and whatever. After all, the improvement that Jack had just experienced wasn't like one plus four equals to five. No, this was more than that.
If he threw a punch, instead of it weighing 100kg, it would be 500kg. It was completely opposite of the 100kg punches hitting a person five times.
After testing his strength, Jack immediately went back to the loving room. He found that there was a missed call there. Upon checking it, he found that it was from the charter organization.
He also saw that he still had one unread mail. So, he guessed that this was the contract that had been sent by the lady that was on charge of helping him.
He clicked onto the mail and opened it. But just before he could start reading it, he heard a shout coming from outside his mansion.
"I'm sorry sir but you cannot get in there without permission."
"What do you mean that I cannot enter? My son is here, are you trying to say that I can't see him?!"
