Chapter 519 Multiplier Effect Activated
Bang!
Smith's body collided heavily with the wall of the store. This immediately made the building to begin shaking.
And, as he collapsed onto the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood. As he raised his head, he looked at Jack who was approaching him calmly with horror clear in his eyes.
He himself did not see what had happened. In fact, nobody inside the store had seen what had happened clearly. All that day so was that Jack's body flashed, and before they could even know what was happening, Smith's body was launched into the air.
As for Smith himself, he felt that his internal organs had already been injured. At the same time, several of his chest bones had already been broken, even the sternum and several ribs had collapsed inside. This had already affected his lungs and other internal organs.
For that reason, with the great amount of pain that he was experiencing every time that he drew in air, Smith was undergoing great agony. He felt his body trembling as he watched as Jack approached him.
He had not expected that something like this was going to happen. Just what was going on? How strong was Jack? Additionally, could it be possible that he was this strong considering that his genetic structure was strange?
Several questions popped up within his mind, but, he did not have any answer to them. And, without even him realizing it, he had been staring blankly at Jack who had already arrived In front of him, but, it was as If Jack did not exist.
"Oops, I guess I did not control my strength well. Initially, I had intended on giving you a small beating, but, it turns out that with just that small percentage of my strength in that punch, I put you in such a condition." Jack stated without any hint of apology in his voice.
But, what he had said was the truth. Since he did not want to kill Smith on the spot, he had controlled his strength and used about 20% of it. But even so, since his control was not that good as he had just gotten stronger not long ago, he was not able to easily tell the amount of strength that was required to immobilize Smith.
Nevertheless, he did not care. After all, it seemed that there was going to be enmity between him and the organization that Smith and Watson came from. So, there was no need for him to be holding back anyway.
"Since it seems that you don't want to give me, then, I'm going to take it by myself." Jack stated as he looked at Smith. Then, without waiting for any response from him, he began searching his body.
Smith on the other hand came back to his senses. But, no matter how much he wanted to react to Jack's actions, there was nothing that he could do considering that currently, his body was feeling numb and he could not control his body well.
Moreover, with any movement that he made, he was undergoing a lot of pain. So, just to make sure that the bones that had penetrated several of his internal organs did not cause even more damage, he decided to minimize his movement.
Additionally, he was not that much worried. After all, when he came over, he did not bring anything much important to him, or something that was going to affect his organization by a great amount.
So, even if Jack decided to take everything that he possessed, he was the only one that was going to suffer a loss, and not the organization.
After going through the pockets of Smith's clothes, in the end, Jack only found a small pill. It was the same pill as the one that he had failed to Watson.
Jack could not help but be a little speechless after realizing that this guy did not have anything important on him. Other than this small pill, there was practically no any other resources that he could use to improve his strength.
Just as Jack was about to say something, he was surprised when a system prompt appeared in front of him.
[You've earned a stage 2 low recovery pill. Multiplier applied. Would you like an increase in terms of quality or quantity?]
Jack: "…."
Jack was momentarily stunned after seeing the system prompt. He had not expected that he was actually going to be capable of making the system to affect something that he had taken from Smith.
During the time that he had received the system, the system had claimed that as long as the income did not affect anybody, then, the multiplier effect was going to be effective.
But now, not only had he beaten Smith, but, he was also taking away his property by force as compensation. But nevertheless, the system was actually giving him a chance of having it multiplied in terms of quality or quantity.
[Inside the stronghold domain, the rules are different. As long as a person is considered an enemy of the host, then, if the host manage take something from the enemy, then, whatever it is that they would have gotten from the enemy would be considered as an income.]
Jack nearly cursed at the system. If he had been informed about something like this, then, he would have definitely gone around looking for those that were going to provoke him. And, if they did that, he was going to beat them up, before taking away whatever it was that they had.
That way, he would have already been able to stock the entire store fully. Additionally, there might actually be a chance that he would be able to get something that could be used to improve the strength of the people with him.
After a moment of thought, Jack immediately decided that he was going to improve the stage 2 low level recovery pill in terms of quantity. He had another plan in his mind, so, he did not hesitate.
[You receive 100 stage 2 low level recovery pills. You can claim them at your own free will.]
At this moment, Vincent who had been observing everything from the side was completely dumbfounded. He had not expected that the results were going to be different the moment that Jack took action.
It was true that he had expected that Jack was going to be strong. But, he had not expected that Jack was going to be this strong. After all, to be able to easily deal with a stage three superhuman within a single move, that was the capability of a person who was at least in the fourth stage of the superhuman level.
But, according to Jack, he had not even utilized his full strength. So, Vincent could not help but feel shivers running down his spine. Jack was actually stronger than the stage 4 superhuman? Was he perhaps a stage 5 superhuman, or a stage six superhuman?
At this point, Vincent immediately realized that he had actually made an enemy out of a person that he was not supposed to be provoking. If they were back in their own stronghold, then, he would not be worried. But, it was completely different here.
He was the strongest, the one and only that was protecting Derek. But, he was at the same level as Smith who was taking down by Jack with just a single punch. So, that implied that he had no chance if he fought against Jack.
Of course, Vincent had not seen Jack taking the pill, so, he did not know that if they had fought previously, then, they would have come to at least a draw. But, it was different now that Jack had already moved three stages ahead by breaking three genetic locks.
Vincent immediately decided to get out of here. There was no way that he was going to fight against Jack. As for the mission that he had been given, he finally understood the reason why they were not told to take care of Jack and bring him back to the family.
It turned out that there was nobody that was capable of dealing with Jack currently. But, it seemed that Derek's father had not expected that Celine was together with Jack, and that was the reason why they had been sent over.
Or, there might actually be a chance that Derek's father knew about this. After all, he had instructed that they had to make sure that Celine was not injured at all.
But, that was something that was going to be considered as an impossibility considering that currently, they were already Jack's enemy. As for Jack, he was Celine's fiancé. So, how was it possible that he was going to allow them to take away his fiancée?
Without waiting for Jack and his group to notice him, he immediately rushed out of this place. He was heading directly towards the location of the Panthers organization, to take Derek out of this stronghold as soon as possible.
It was a good thing that Jack had not killed him on the spot. But, right now, since they had already provoked Jack, then, he was definitely going to make a move against them, right?
Watson who was finally slightly relieved after taking the pill was completely dumbfounded after realizing that Smith was taken care of by just a single punch from Jack. He did not even have a chance of resisting at all.
"Hey! Where the heck are you running to?" At this moment, Watson suddenly realized that the old man was running away. And at this point, having already realized that they had provoked the wrong person, and they were going to suffer, he was not willing to suffer alone.
Since this old man had also come over to provoke Jack, then, this old man had to stay so that they will be punished together. So, he shouted a loudly, making sure that everybody heard that.
"I never expected that you were going to run away not long after you came over." Jack who had just heard what Watson had said looked over and saw that the old man was already several ten meters away, running away. Without hesitation, he rushed after him.
