Marvin received a quest. However, he walked away as if not interested in helping the short beauty with blue eyes.

"Sorry, but the price your young master is offering is too low, and I don't want to go on a date with him," the little cutie mustered up the courage to say these words on their face. However, her tiny hands were clasped tightly together, looking like a terrified and nervous child.

Celeste was feeling anxious and troubled at being stared at by burly and strong bodyguards of the so-called young master dressed in luxurious clothes.

"The price is too low? Do you dare say that again?" One of the many burly guards shouted at Celeste scaring the wits out of her.

From the looks in their eyes and the weapon in their hands, Celeste determined that if she says that again then the men here would chop her stall into pieces. She looked around to seek help but the crowd looking in their direction exposed the face of one that's watching a nice show. They weren't interested in helping her, at all.

A young girl being forced by a rich man was common in the black market.

'No one wants to help,' Celeste felt what it means to be all alone and in inescapable trouble. As her body trembled in fear and sadness, tears threatened to leak out from the corners of her blue eyes. She knows where this is going.

Pa! A heavy smack landed on the burly guard's neck. Following that was a curse,

"Che, dumbass, you scared her into tears,"

Among the burly and strong men stood a handsome man. He was wearing high-class branded clothes and wore a velvety coat on top as it kept the winter cold away.

He stepped closer towards the terrified maiden who stared into his eyes as if he was a monster.

"Little beauty, do you know who I am? I, Dale am a Legacy student at the Drake lake High School, and I am gonna graduate soon! I have no equal in my elite class and I'll be topping the charts. Becoming a student of Drake Lake Military Academy is a part of my future, and I am offering you a choice to become a part of my glorious life. So little beauty, are you coming or not?" Dale said this with a wide smile on his face but it made Celeste feel uncomfortable. His smile might seem pleasant but he couldn't hide the lust in his eyes.

Celeste felt disgusted by the undisguised lust he showed her. In his eyes, she was already stripped naked!

"I never asked whether you are genius with no equal or not. I don't want to go on a date with you. Please leave me alone and don't trouble me," Celeste said. She wasn't interested in becoming a mistress of a man abusing his status to force a woman to serve him in bed.

Hearing her words, a vicious smile appeared on Dale's face. "Then I won't trouble you anymore," He said before walking away with his guards.

"Thank God," Placing her tiny hands on her curvy breast, Celeste breathed a sigh of relief as she saw him walking away but her heart was still troubled because of the vicious smile she saw on his face just before he turned and walked away.

Her worries were not unfound.

Just after taking the sixth step, Dale suddenly halted and turned around to stare at her with a devilish expression.

"Little beauty, don't blame this young master for being merciless. I fancied you, I gave you a chance but you are the one who kept on refusing." He said to the beauty, and he then continued by ordering his burly guards, "Go, guys, break her stall into pieces and capture her! After I am done with her, you guys can do as you please with this bitch!"

"As you command, young master!" The three guards shouted and rushed to her stall almost immediately. The guards lifted their metallic pole-like weapon and swing it towards her tiny and wooden stall.

"No," she shouted and stepped in between them and her stall.

She could not afford to lose her stall or get the item damaged. Celeste came from a poor family and she had to look after her two little pumpkins a young brother and sister. That's why she became a retailer for the lower district's third most famous manufacturing family Yalaszt. The Yalaszt family has many experts and the head of that family, Blade Yalaszt, is already beyond rank-10. He is a mana-channel opening level expert, a person with monstrous strength. In the lower-district of Stronghold 69, few can rival this family.

With their power, they hogged the manufacturing rights of creating magical items such as talisman, light orbs, and other stuff. To make extra money, they hand over these things to girls and boys like Celeste who are in need of money. Celeste act as a retailer from then. Hence, Hence, the Yalaszt family is called a manufacturing family.

At first, she wanted to sell the items to a shop, but the price offered was too low, thus she had no choice but to go to the black market to sell.

To her surprise, in the first few days, she made dozens of extra bucks that helped her situation financially. Last night, she even ate fried chicken with her little pumpkins. But today, just when she had set up her stall, young master dale and his burly guard surrounded her and now they were about to destroy her future.

She needs to sell these items and return the cost of the items to the Yalaszt family. Plus, she also needs to share the profit of selling the items 50-50 with the Yalaszt family.

However, there's a twist. If she failed to uphold the deal then they will still demand money or the unsold item, itself. If she has no money or the item is damaged then her body will be used as repayment!

This was clearly stated in the contract which she signed for a better future.

If someone damages her items then she'll be the one to blame. There was no insurance in her line of work, after all, and all the responsibilities were hers to face.

Therefore, she jumped in the middle of the attacks to save these items from being destroyed. 

The attack rained down on her and she closed her eyes in fear; However, her hands were opened wide, ready to act as a meat shield for the sake of protecting the items from getting damaged.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Peng! Peng! Peng! 

Just when the weapons were about to crash on her body, she heard the resounding reverberation of gunshots and ringing metallic sound. She opened her eyes in surprise and was shocked to see that the weapons in the guard's hand were flying through the air. Plus, all three of the guards had fainted, blood flowed out of the edge of their mouth and the wide hole in their body, forming a pool of blood beneath.

Noah notified.

"Phew ~ I wasn't going for the kill but damn, mana bullet's too op," Marvin exclaimed with a hearty laugh while blowing on his smoking finger. Mana bullet was just too op. His finger was like a gun and to his surprise, releasing multiple mana bullets in a single second was possible. Plus, the penetrative power of the bullets was so strong that they entered the guard's body from the back and drilled their way to the front!

Dale's expression had also changed. He was shocked and angry to witness that a masked man had used a weird ability to kill all three of his burly guards. 

Marvin was wearing a mask to cover his identity. The purpose behind his actions was simple. He already knew Dale's identity because he had used the skill "Inspect". The Gale family was a very big one, residing in the middle district of this stronghold. The family head is said to be a mysterious figure with a power level beyond the tenth rank.

Dale was just one of the many young masters of that family. However, hurting or killing him will bring about needless troubles. That's why he wore a mask to cover his identity!

"Mother fucker, who the fuck are you! How dare you kill my people? Do you fucking know who I am? I am Dale Gale, the young master of the Gale family! The consequences of offending me, Dale Gale is death! You'll be chased to death like a dog, no matter where you go! Though, that's only gonna happen if you manage to survive my wrath!" With a furious face, Dale glared directly at the masked man as he loudly declared his status and Marvin's upcoming fate. 

Although he is a playboy and a predator, he was also a powerful ability user. Belonging to a rich and influential family, from a young age, Dale absorbed countless costly magical beast cores just like eating candy. He was a rank-10 ability user, just one step away from the height many ability users dreams to achieve. Moreover, he was wearing a vest and defensive items beneath his luxurious clothes. Even sniper bullet can't penetrate his magical vest!

Hearing his words, Marvin's eyebrow raised in dissatisfaction. No one curses his mother and walks away alive. "You're flaunting your identity in the wrong place. This is the black market. Here, only strength counts. And yeah, I have decided to put an end to your life. Thus, this place is also your grave," he taunted.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha," the psychopath started laughing.

From a young age, no one had ever dared to refuse him or harm any of his men. He was a youngster from the middle-district. The lower-district was just a playground for young Dale. A playground where he preys on young women and kills anyone he wishes. He had run amuck in the lower-district for very long and has never met with such a trouble. But today, not only did a girl refuse him on his face, but a bastard also killed his men and taunted him!

"Strength, an ant of the lower-district dares talk about strength?" He looked at Marvin as if looking at a dead man.

To him, Marvin must die.

Dale released his Ability and red mist manifested around his body. A fair amount of heat waves could be seen twirling around his hands, condensing into a fireball. It grew larger and larger becoming a greater fireball.

Looking at the fireball, the crowd scattered here, there, and everywhere as they immediately headed for safety. They were fine with watching the show but not becoming a part of it. 

A wicked smile formed on Marvin's face as he saw Dale using his ability.

He stood on the spot motionlessly. Celeste and the crowd thought he was scared stiff. When in actuality, he had decided to kill Dale in a mysterious way to face slap him so hard that Noah will have no choice but to hand over dozens of credits to him.

"I won't let you hurt him!" Celeste shouted and stood between Marvin and Dale with open hands. 

"Those who dare disrespect me only have one fate, death! Bitch, you will die with him!" Dale shouted before releasing the greater fireball in his hand. However, when he tried to release the greater fireball, Dale found out that he couldn't hurl it away as he couldn't move his hand. Rather, he couldn't move his body.

At the opportune time, Marvin had used Time Halt on Dale's body so that he can't hurl the fireball towards him.

BOMB! The fireball in Dale's hand exploded, blasting his hands and setting his entire body ablaze.

Poor lad couldn't make sense of what happened and couldn't even move a single muscle before the flame devoured him whole under the confused stares of the crowd and Celeste.

The Gamer has killed Dale and made it look like an accident. To the prying eyes of society, it looks as if Dale self-destructed due to misusing his ability. The authority will label this case as death caused by misuse of ability by an Ability User. Congratulation for face slapping Dale and making a fool out of the prying eyes! Gained 100 credits!
