The world after the emergence of the Tower became a place filled with chaos, the law and order were lost as only a single supreme rule was established!
Power! Strength and force!
One who had the power was the law, whatever he did was right as there was no one who could go up against him.
and surviving in such a harsh world had taught Linda about many things, one among them was to never expect help from anyone.
No one in the world would help someone without getting anything in return, no matter if he was a saint or a demon, there were no favors done without a reward, it was all just a give and take in the end.
But right now in front of her eyes, a man was offering her a hand of help without asking anything in return.
"Do you need a hand?"
She clearly heard those words but was unable to answer the question.
'Why was he extending a hand for help?'
She stood stupefied looking at the young man who appeared out of nowhere. His left eye was unusually red and his outfit.... it was weird! who would wear formals as an outfit when taking the test in Tower? most would try to get some equipment or some artifacts, it was her first time seeing someone without any armor on here.
'Does he want something from me?'
It was natural for her to think that way since it was her first time ever receiving a helping hand, more than that he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was asking if she needed help, she would be a fool to believe in a stranger!
'Is he after my money? or perhaps my body....'
This weird feeling that one would get while receiving help from someone that they never expected made her frustrated, and her mind was thinking about all kinds of things. It was normal if we consider how had she lived till now.
A life where she had to do everything just to survive! It would have been weird if she believed him right away!
"Kids these days, such arrogance and daring!!"
The pig-like man who was ignored by Michel was now on the verge of snapping his last thread reasoning!
But Michel still refused to give him any f*ck as he continued his conversation with Linda, coming down from the tree.
"Hoy! I am talking to you! I will create a guild after entering the Tower, so join my guild!"
"uh?"
'What was hell?'
Linda was utterly stupefied!
What was this man saying? He popped out of nowhere and asked if she needed help, and he had not even rescued her yet but now he was asking if she would join his guild? that to a guild that wasn't even created yet!
"Umm...Who are you?"
She asked hesitatingly wondering who this crazy man was...
"Oh! my bad, I forgot to introduce myself! I am Michel, the man who is going to become the absolute"
"What??!!"
It was the end of her thinking capacity, Her brain couldn't fathom the things that the young man was spouting, he was saying whatever he wanted without minding anyone.
It was as if he was seeing all of them as insignificant bugs who weren't even worth listening to.
"This brat!!"
The pig's stress went over the threshold, and he could no longer suppress his anger. In the end, he yelled and swung his sword at Michel.
Swoosh!
But the sword didn't hit anything at all!
The young man easily sidestepped, dodging the sword with a hairbreadth's gap!
"You little"
Swoosh!
swish!
The pig who had already lost his reasoning was swinging his sword like crazy.
But no matter how much he tried the sword didn't even touch a piece of cloth on the young man's body as he gracefully dodged every swing.
"You rat ba*tard! Is dodging all you can do? stand there if you are a man"
"Wow! How can you be so shameless, asking a kid like me to stand here and receive your sword!! Like the hell, I would do that, you pig bastard"
"Ahhh!!"
"Hahaha,...This is so fun, Try a bit harder pig"
It was like an elephant stomping on an ant, no matter how much he tried, not even a single strike was able to graze him.
"Ha....h....a..a.a.a.."
The pig finally stopped swinging his sword, gasping for air.
"Is that all, try a bit more, Now I will stand still here, try hitting me, hurry up"
Now, the brat was motivating him to attack! the nerves on his forehead were about burst 'This bastard!'
Unlike him who was already tired, the young man was still running around like an excited dog. It was clear that he was just messing with him, which made him even angrier.
'swww.w..w.h.....u..u...'
"This is boring"
The pig closed his eye for a second, breathing the air in, and when he opened his eyes".....!"
"Why am I seeing the sky??"
His head was turned upward towards the sky!
The pain was delivered a second later as a punch mark was left on the chin and his fat body which weighed more than 150 kilograms was now in the air.
"I don't like it if it isn't fun!"
and the culprit was none other than the one whom he thought was a snotty brat!
He was still holding his right hand in a motioning manner right below where the pig was flying.
The onlookers who were watching the scene the whole time could believe what they were seeing! The young man being strong was one thing but to think that their so-called leader couldn't even leave a scratch on the boy and even got thrown above the ground!! It was all just unbelievable!
The seemingly pale young man managed to send the pig-like man flying with a single punch!
The most stupefied among all of them was Linda who witnessed everything right before her eyes!
"What the hell is with this crazy man?"
that's the only thought she had after watching Michel for five minutes!
