Taking off the caps of two containers, he threw them into the stairway before emptying a few more containers. Then he did the same with the monsters below on the ground, spilling fuel onto them.
Once he did that, he opened more lids and directly threw the containers below before taking out some clothes and spilling some gasoline on them. He then burned the end of the cloth with a lighter before throwing the cloth down and did the same with the stairway before running from the location.
He ran towards the edge of the terrace before putting some force into his legs and jumping onto the parapet before making another giant leap. He flew towards the other building next to him and once he landed, he performed his signature roll.
Gasoline seemed to work comparatively better than bullets on the lizardmen as the fire burned them inside out unlike the bullets which were mostly blocked even if they hurt them. The flames burned high and Larcen simply decided to walk away from the center and back to the mall.
'That's enough risking my life.... at least for now. I'm severely underequipped and even though I have enough SP, I am unable to increase my stats for the time being.', he thought as he walked down the stairs and then ran to the location where he hid Betty.
She was still inside the car when he reached the place. He slowly pulled her out and forcefully fed her the regeneration pill so she could wake up and so she did after a few seconds.
"Let's go.... it was far more dangerous and risky than we expected but I also learned some new things about them and I am sure that this information will be of good use to the guys back at the mall.", he said as he looked for the bike that was s few meters away from him.
Betty nodded and lifted the bike before sitting on it while Larcen followed. They still had their weapons but the bags were nowhere to be seen.
"What happened to the ammo?", she asked and Larcen shrugged.
"I used them all up while you were unconscious. I did make some SP though so I'll transfer them to you now.", he said and she gave him her hand as the transfer only worked through skin contact.
He sent her 12 SP and once she received her payment, she switched gears and rode back towards the mall.
The first person they saw when they reached there was Betty's father, Jack. He looked extremely nervous and was fidgeting a bit too much but once he saw his daughter, he gave out a sigh of relief.
Larcen ignored their reunion and reprimanding scene as he walked to Anna's room, extremely exhausted. He had a stamina of 1 but even that did not stop him from feeling tired after using Flow state for so long.
The room was empty so he tossed his guns onto the bed and walked to the washrooms to take a cold water bath as warm water wasn't available and boiling some water needed fuel which they couldn't afford to waste.
'I'd rather take a cold water bath than raise suspicions here...', he thought as he took off his clothes and picked up some of the empty tin cans that were placed on the closed toilet seat. There was a thick that was on top of the opposite walls of the cubicles.
A large tin can was pierced with the stick and there were many holes made on the bottom of the can to emulate a shower. Larcen filled up the other cans with water before pouring the contents of one onto the hanging can.
The water droplets fell on his body, removing some of the blood and dirt but he used the soap that was already there in the cubicle to cleanse himself properly along with the shampoo for his hair.
Once he was done, he walked out, and only then did he realize that he had forgotten to ask Anna for a towel. He simply took out the sweatpants from his inventory and wore them before walking to the room while water dripped off his hair and body, wetting the floor wherever he walked.
He walked to the ground floor and looked for Anna who was talking to a few other girls and patted her on her shoulder before asking, "Umm, I need a towel."
She simply stared at him for a few seconds before sighing and grabbed his hand before pulling him upstairs.
"Why in the hell would you come out naked?", she asked hurriedly, trying to whisper but failing grandly as everyone nearby heard her.
"Who said I'm naked? I'm wearing sweatpants.", he replied while glancing at the others who were staring at him.
She said nothing and simply took him upstairs before pulling him into one of the rooms. There were many clothes in there and she looked around for a few seconds before taking one of the softer towels she could find and giving it to him.
"Mister Jake, your pants are so tight that I can see the damn bulge there. It's just so mind-boggling that you walked out, showing it off to everyone. Are you really so deprived that you're trying to attract other females? Am I not enough for you?", she said, smirking as her hand slowly reached for his member, rubbing her hand up and down over the cloth.
Larcen let her do what she wanted as he continued to wipe himself, which made her pout in annoyance.
"Could you at least look at me?", she said as she put some pressure down there.
"Hey, relax. I need to dry off to avoid getting sick, you know? Also, we should probably move to the bedroom before we continue," he said as he removed his partially wet pants and used a towel to cover his genitals. He then put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him, causing her to yelp in surprise.
"Why not just do it here?~"
