At the entrance of QP Hotel, ten unknown men wearing plain clothes and shorts appeared before Roland and the others.
The ten of them looked ordinary at glance, but with a careful observation, one could tell that they had extraordinary physiques, not inferior Roland's when he was still at Peak Level 1.
The ten of them arrived in front of Roland and Stacey almost in an instant.
They looked at Roland and bowed towards him slightly in unison, as they stood upright with their hands held behind their back, with an emotionless expression.
Each of them had a different face, but the vibes and atmosphere they gave off was the same. In Roland's words, they each have their own dangerous aura wrapped around them.
At the same moment they arrived in front, another ten or more men also sprang up their legs, staring vigilantly at the ten men who arrived earlier.
Roland looked around and realized that it was Denis' group of friends.
It looked like Martin had sent some 'guards' around them again, maybe to prevent what happened before from happening again.
And seeing ten unknown men approach Roland, they immediately spang up, afraid that something might happen again.
Roland raised his hands towards them, indicating that it was alright.
At the same moment, the ten battle guards that the System had rewarded also scanned their surroundings, after noticing that Denis' friend was not a threat, they nonchalantly turned their head back towards Roland, returning to their previous emotionless face.
On the other hand, a hundred meters away from them, Stacey's secret guard also noticed the commotion.
She was also about to close in, and intercept if anything happened, but she was forced to stop at the next moment.
It was because one of the ten men suddenly looked towards her direction, with dead-pan eyes.
From that look alone, she felt that her life was hanging on a thin thread. One wrong move and she subconsciously knew that she would be done for.
A shiver ran down her spine, as she thought of how ridiculous this situation was.
To think that she would feel threatened in a backward place like this, just where did this man come from?
A moment later, the man finally retracted his gaze away from her, allowing her to finally breathe a mouthful of air in relief.
Beads of sweat had unknowingly trickled down her forehead, as nervousness appeared on her face.
Her miss' safety was her highest priority, and now, an enemy has already closed in towards her miss, and she could do nothing other than to stay frozen in her place, just with a mere glance from the other party.
The next moment, she heaved another sigh of relief after seeing that the 'enemy' seemed to be friendly?
They even began introducing themselves to Roland.
She perked up her ears as she tried to hear what they were talking about, her eyes went wide at the next moment, surprised at what she heard from Roland's mouth.
"Don't misunderstand everyone, they are the security guards I hired myself to prevent what happened yesterday from happening again," Roland said with a smile.
The others heaved a sigh of relief, their tense expression finally eased down, especially Denis' friends.
At the same moment he said that, a system prompt actually resounded his mind.
Roland looked at it and was surprised to see the contents of the message.
Ding!
[You have face-slapped a person: +20 FS Points?]
Twenty Face-Slapping Points in one go?
Seeing the amount of points awarded to him, Roland felt doubtful at first.
After confirming that it was indeed the case, he could not help but think to himself regarding this matter.
What kind of situation was this? Who did I face-slap again this time? Why are the points higher than normal?
Looking back, he could only think of one thing that was related to this kind of change in the amount of points.
When he was performing his farming tactics before, he would always bring Butler Frank with him to maximize the points he would get due to the reason that, bringing Butler Frankalong as a witness would earn him as much points as to what he would earn from the face-slapped person.
At that time, Roland did not think too much about it as that situation only ever occured to Butler Frank. Lacking ideas as to what it really meant back then, he just put the matter at the back of his head.
However, the situation right now was exactly the same as that time with Butler Frank.
Paired with his previous notion that he thought of while being at the Tear Island, that there were extraordinary people hidden behind the scenes, Roland could not help but arrive at the conclusion that Butler Frank, and the person he just face-slapped might be in his category of 'extraordinary' person.
Arriving at this conclusion just made Roland even more sure of their existence that was trying to blend behind the scenes.
Unknowingly, there was even an 'extraordinary' person among his workers, and it was his butler at that. This time, he encountered another one, and that person was hiding behind the scenes.
Roland looked back at the notifications he received yesterday. He realized that there was actually one witness notification reward that was higher than others.
Realizing that, Roland could not help but gulped a mouthful of saliva in nervousness.
He had not realized that an extraordinary person was actually observing his battle from yesterday.
As they say, the most fearful enemies were those hidden behind the scenes, and not those flaunting their strength in the open.
Roland felt like he was being stared at by a lurking beast.
Roland looked around, as if to search where the other party was. However, aside from those he was familiar with, he did not see anyone suspicious.
Looking at the ten guards in front of him, especially the one at the middle who was already a peak level 3 human, Roland could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the System rewarded him with something like this, or else, Roland would probably not be able to relax knowing an 'enemy' was lurking in the dark.
What he did not know was that at this moment, the 'enemy' that was lurking in the dark that he was talking about, was actually also secretly afraid of him at this moment.
'Young Miss' boyfriend is surely not simple. Not only is his strength comparable to a person who cultivates and has Heaven Energy like me, his background is surely not simple enough as well for him to hire a bodyguard of this strength…' she thought to herself as she began to consider her next course of actions.
At the same time, Roland figure and 'rank' had also elevated in her heart at this moment.
He was no longer the 'not-so-bad' man of her young miss, but instead, she now looked at him as if he was a hidden scion from an unknown family who was sent in this place, that was almost devoid of any heaven energy, to train his physical body.
On the other hand, another question also rose in her mind after arriving at this 'conclusion'.
'Why sent him here in this backward city? A C-Grade City should be enough for him to train, right?'
