Drew breathed in relief. He finally leveled up to level seven. Although he still had enough deci points for more consequtive level ups, he decided to pause.
He doubted he could withstand the pains that came with leveling up.
-[Apart from leveling up, you can also increase your strength by utilizing skills] he suddenly heard a female voice in his head.
"Really?" Theo was surprised.
He swiftly opened the system panel and searched for powerful skills on the shop tab.
There were many skills that popped up. For a moment, Drew couldn't make a choice.
He would've loved to purchase them all, but being a jack of all trade wasn't necessarily a good thing.
Teleportation
Regeneration
Spike projection
Fire ball..
After mulling for a bit, Drew settled for one skill..
Berserker Body
It was a special kind of skill because it increased the physical capabilities of one's flesh, bones and meridans.
Drew purchased it for a whooping of ten thousand deci points!
He couldn't wait to test out the capabilities of this new skill.
"Grand Patriarch! we have arrived at West Wing" Boss Jay announced.
Peering through the window, Drew was greeted with the mesmerizing view of several sky rising commercial building.
"So this is West Wing huh?" Drew mumbled.
When compared to Strawberry Village, it was like comparing a candle to an electric bulb.
"Let's park the car somewhere else. We don't want to attract unnecessary attention to ourselves" Drew advised after thinking for a bit.
Although he was quite confident in his strength, he was well aware that nothing was absolute in this world.
There was always higher mountains, and he was just a frog in a well.
Boss Jay found a park, bringing his car to an halt at an unoccupied spot.
But just as both men were about to leave, a car suddenly blocked their path.
It was a ford. As for it's model, Drew wasn't quite sure of it.
The window slid open, revealing a huge man with bulging biceps and a bald head.
"Is there a problem?" Drew asked, sensing the invisible tension.
"My young master wants you to leave that parking spot. As compensation, he's willing to pay two thousand dollars for it" the burly bald man instructed.
Drew sneered at his haughtiness.
"No thanks. But we are not beggars"
The burly bald man frowned.
"How dare you reject my young master's orders? are you tired of living?" he bellowed.
"What can your young master do if i don't play along? Is he that amazing?" a confident smile curled up on Drew's lips.
Ever since he acquired the system, his self confidence seemed to have been extremely boosted, like as if he was on steroids.
At that moment, the window to the passenger seat slowly slid down, revealing an hansome young man.
"So you must be the young master that baldie seems to be refering to. I think you should warn your underling lest he put you in trouble" Boss Jay warned coldly.
How could he tolerate these people downgrading the grand patriarch?!
Norman frowned.
"Don't you know who i am?!"
"Who the fuck are you then?!" Boss Jay yelled impatiently.
"Ignorant dogs, listen carefully. My young master is the son of the Flame serpent. Don Mandigo!" Norman's body guard announced proudly.
As for Norman, he glared at the two ignorant people before him. His eyes twinkled with expectation as he anticipated the scene where they would start groveling at his feets and begging for mercy.
As for Drew and Boss Jay, they were just too gobsmacked to speak.
What a twist! they were just talking about that Mandigo a few minutes ago!
Misjudging their silence for shock and fear, Norman and his bodyguard's ego increased.
"Scared? haha. It's not too late. I just need to slice off your tongues and my young master will let this matter pass"
After recieving a nod from Norman, the body guard stepped out from the car and attempted to grab Drew, to slice his tongue.
However, Boss Jay's next action puzzled them.
Pah!
The bodyguard never anticipated the sudden slap, causing him to stagger three steps back due to the recoil.
Pui!
Spitting out a piece of broken teeth, the bodyguard stared at Boss Jay in shock.
"You dare slap me?!"
"Are you a god? why can't i slap you?" Boss Jay hissed.
"If you keep on irritating me, i will continue slapping you to the point that your mirror will break whenever you try staring at your reflection!"
Infact, Boss Jay had held back, if not, the bodyguard would have been writhing on the ground half dead.
"You.. do you know the severity of what you have done?!" Norman backed.
"So what if you are that dog's Mandigo pup. I can even kill you if i want. Plus, we just happen to have some unfinished business!" Boss Jay grinned.
Norman felt his blood run cold. His father was a gang boss. Naturally, he made a lot of enemies.
Did he just run into one of them?!
Opening the door, Boss Jay opened the door. Norman whimpered like a chicken as Boss Jay grabbed him and threw him out.
"W-What are you doing?!" Norman shrieked.
"Teaching you a lesson of course. Are you that dumb?"
"If.. if you dare lay a finger on me! my dad won't let you off!" Norman threatened with wavering confidence.
"Let him die in hell!"
Pah!
Boss Jay landed a crisp slap on Norman's cheeks.
"Yo.."
Pah! Pah! Pah!
Crisp sounds rang out as Boss Jay showed no mercy, slapping the living daylight out of Norman.
Even after he fainted, he woke him up with even harder slaps. Watching his young master shrieking like a pig while eating a load of slaps, he felt goosebumps.
Under the scary gaze of Drew, he dared not have any thoughts of moving an inch.
Boss Jay finally stopped. But by the time he did, Norman's once handsome face now resembled an ugly pig's own with swollen flesh.
"Let me give you a chance" Boss Jay kicked Norman, who could only make strange noises, since all the teeth in his mouth were already gone.
"Where is Mandigo?"
"He's in town! He's in town!" the bodyguard hurriedly replied, since he knew Norman was not in the condition to speak.
"Good. I want you to take your young master to him and explain what transpired. If he wants to get his revenge, let him meet me at Turbo Motors. Can you do that?" Boss Jay smiled.
"Yes! Yes i can!" the bodyguard shivered.
Picking up Norman, he got into the car and hurriedly stepped on the pedal, zooming off as he tried his best to distance himself from the two terrifying imps.
Staring at Norman's battered face, he smiled wryly.
He was sure the boss would punish him real bad for being unable to protect his son.
After Norman and his bodyguard left, Boss Jay turned towards Drew.
"Did i handle the situation well?"
"I must say, you were quite ruthless there" Drew gave him a thumbs up.
Boss Jay scratched his head.
"I kind of got carried away. But that little punishment is nothing, compared to what i have in store for that old dog!"
