Valt was satisfied with the situation, and after a while, he felt his vision slowly darken, eventually losing consciousness from sheer exhaustion.
3 hours later...
When Valt woke up, he was shocked. Instead of lying in bed with his wounds bandaged as he had thought, he was now tied to a tree, his entire body bound.
Splashhh
Cold water splashed onto Valt's face.
"Oh, you're already awake." The young man said coldly.
"You... You bastard!" Valt shouted angrily. He couldn't believe what had happened. What was this young villager doing!? And he's a Martial Apprentice Stage 3—how could this young brat do this to him!?
[Hate points +3 Hate points +3 Hate points +10!]
A slight smile appeared on the young man's lips as he looked at the transparent blue hologram in front of him.
His name was Xenon Invictus.
A week ago, he accidentally ended up in this world while searching for an artifact in a cave in his previous world.
He then received a system called the "Arrogance Incarnate System."
The system worked like this: When someone became angry at him because of his arrogance, it would give him hate points. And take note, hate points granted more points if the enemy was stronger.
Hate points could then be used to draw from the system to acquire a subordinate!
There were 5 chests to draw from.
The first was the 'Beginner Chest' [500 Hate Points to Draw].
It would give a Martial Apprentice subordinate ranging from Stage 7 to Peak Stage 9, depending on his luck.
Next was the 'Normal Chest' [10,000 Hate Points]—it would give a Martial Warrior subordinate.
'Elite Chest' [500,000 Hate Points]—would give a Martial Master.
'Epic Chest' [10 million Hate Points]—would give a Martial Grandmaster.
And the highest was the Legendary Chest [1 billion Hate Points]—it would give a Martial Emperor subordinate!
"So many hate points!" Xenon said happily.
When Xenon found out that Valt was a Martial Apprentice Stage 3, he was both shocked and pleased because this was a rare opportunity to exploit hate points, especially since Valt was injured and essentially like an ordinary person now.
"You better let me out of here now! If not, you will suffer worse than death!" Valt screamed in anger.
Xenon only smiled and took out something that made Valt's eyes widen.
That... That's his spatial pouch! That's where all the treasures he stole were kept!
"No!! Give it back to me!" Valt's face turned green with rage!
Pakkk!
A strong slap landed on Valt's face. The palm left a red mark, and Valt was stunned, unable to believe what had just happened.
An ordinary human's slap would never hurt Valt, but now he had no strength left, and his mentality was disoriented.
"Your mouth reeks, so shut it up! And you should be thankful to me for tying your wounds and letting you rest in a tree, just close your eyes!"
"Now this Spatial Pouch is your payment for me saving your life!"
After saying this, Xenon turned and walked away.
"Bastard!! I'm going to kill you!"
"And what nonsense are you talking about! Ahhhhhhh!" In his anger, veins were popping out of his forehead.
But when Valt realized that Xenon was walking away and soon disappeared from view, his anger turned to tears.
He cried like a newborn baby.
He risked everything for that opportunity! And now his dream was shattered!
He didn't even know if he could get out of this tree.
[+10 hate points +5 hate points +10 points]
[Ding! Total hate points accumulated: 431! The previous points has been added, You now have a total of 511 Hate Points, host. You can now draw from the 'Beginner Chest' to get a subordinate!]
