"Who are you!" A man in black shouted. "We have no business with you. How dare you meddle in our business."
"I don't need to tell my identity to the person who covered his face. I just want that red-head woman. Hand her over to me before someone dies here."
The man in black laughed. "This guy is definitely crazy! Kill him! Take the car!"
Their rush didn't faze Klaus. He just stayed where he was, took out four metal spheres, and they floated in the air.
An enemy took out fire in both hands, throwing balls and wheels of fire at him, and Klaus jumped into the air to avoid it, and at the same time, vines of solid wood emerged from the ground, crushed the asphalt and darted after him.
In the air Klaus twirled beautifully, passing through hot flames and deadly sharp wood. When Klaus landed on the ground, two enemies were waiting for him, attacking him simultaneously. They swung their daggers at Klaus with such force that the air whistled.
Clang!
The metal spheres deflected the attack and knocked the two enemies to the ground. Suddenly, Klaus sensed danger from behind, and he quickly dashed as the wind whistled. An enemy used [Stealth] to try stabbing him from behind.
"Troublesome," Klaus muttered.
He flicked a finger, four iron spheres shot out quickly as if they had a mind of their own, and they targeted the men in black, hitting them one by one and then bouncing in various directions.
"Arrgh!"
"Keough!"
Screams echoed as three men fell to the ground, and they curled up and writhed in pain on the cold asphalt. The iron spheres were augmented with [Speed Up] making them dart like AK-47 bullets, if an ordinary person were to get hit it would definitely be a death.
"Damn it! Kill that guy! It's just one guy!" One of the enemies went crazy.
The remaining five jumped simultaneously with their strength. One of them had his body enlarged to a height of five meters and the black clothes wrapped around his body were torn. At first glance, the man looked like a giant monster.
"Hoho, becoming a giant, huh? So there are still some of you hiding talents," Klaus muttered.
Instead of being scared or panicked, Klaus was even more excited. He moved his hands, and four iron spheres shot out like bullets.
Bang! Arrrrg! The torch man was knocked down and dragged 10 meters on the asphalt. The flames died out, and the man held his chest, spurting blood from his mouth.
Bang! Bang! Creak! The sound of bones cracking rang through the air as the two iron spheres crashed into them. One of them was writhing with a twisted shin, while the other was rolling on the asphalt, with his hand nearly severed.
Bang! Booom! The enemy manipulating the wooden element was slammed into a building, part of the wall collapsed and debris fell on him.
The last enemy, the giant man, threw his two hands at Klaus.
Bam!
The ground shattered and black dust scattered. Sheila, who was in the car, screamed when she felt the vibrations from the impact. With a look of shock on her face, she searched for Klaus' whereabouts.
"B... boss..."
As the giant man thought Klaus was dead, suddenly a flash of shadow shot towards him. It was so fast, the giant man couldn't respond. Suddenly, a sensation of extreme pain was felt from his groin.
"Arrrrrrgggg!"
The giant man collapsed and his body shrank, then he rolled around while holding his crotch.
Not long after, the puff of dust began to disappear. There was not a single person standing other than Klaus.
Sheila watched the fantastic battle, and she was dumbfounded. All this time she thought that Klaus was just a rich kid who happened to be smart. It never crossed her mind that he was a monster in battle.
The battleground was almost completely destroyed, Klaus cleaned his clothes from the dust.
"What a hassle."
He casually walked to the box car and took out the unconscious Sylvia. The woman's body was covered in bruises from the battle in the bar. Klau carried her into the car.
"Wow, that was really amazing." Sheila looked at Klaus from the reflection of the rearview mirror. The look in her eyes told of amazement.
"Nope, they're just too weak," Klaus replied casually, as if nothing had happened.
"I'm not a fool, boss. I've seen a lot of crazy things in the CIA database, but I haven't seen anyone fight like you."
Klaus snorted in exasperation. "Stop spouting nonsenses. Get us to the hospital before this woman dies."
"Okay, okay."
Sheila stepped on the gas pedal, and the car moved and took them away from the scene.
...
The smell of bleach and medicine wafted through the air. On the ceiling, bright shining lights illuminated every side of the hospital room. A red-head woman was lying on the bed, unconscious.
The woman's fingers moved and her eyelids twitched. Not long after, she opened her eyes.
"Where am I?"
Sylvia tried to sit up. She looked at her hands, and she found her body in a fully recovered state. Confuse was written all over her face.
"You're finally awake."
A masculine voice sounded from the corner of the room. When she turned her head to the voice, Klaus was coming towards her, with a friendly smile on his face. Suddenly, she jumped back from the bed.
Klaus sighed in exasperation after seeing her reaction.
"I'm not your enemy. Could you please calm down a bit."
Sylvia squinted. "How can I trust you?"
"Well, if I were your enemy, I wouldn't have taken you to the hospital and booked a VVIP room for you to get intensive care. Is that not enough?"
Sylvia lowered her guard. Klaus gestured for her to return to her bed, which she did. He took a chair from the corner of the room and placed it next to the bed.
Klaus sat down and looked into her eyes, while the woman still seemed to cast suspicion on him.
"Don't you remember me? I was the one who gave you a business card a few weeks ago at the back door of the bar. Remember?"
Sylvia raised her eyebrows. "Ah, you were the one back then."
Hearing good news, Klaus smiled in relief. He then began to introduce himself properly, telling her his job and the company he worked for. Sylvia just nodded and listened, no comment or word coming out of her.
"I've told you about myself. I'm not forcing you to tell me what you experienced, but at least tell me your name."
"I'm Sylvia, Sylvia Brown," she replied.
Klaus just nodded even though he was inwardly upset, but he tried not to show it.
"Tell me," Sylvia said, a little sharply. "First you give me a business card, now you save me. What do you want from me?"
Klaus smiled broadly. He had been struggling to start a new topic and tell her what he wanted, but the red-head woman's candor made things easier.
"I have two requests. No, but one offer and one request. First, I'm going to make you a very lucrative offer. If you want to join—"
"No," Sylvia snapped.
