Chapter 198: The Bulldozer
Frida could read a person's power by seeing an aura around them. It was almost like an outline that showed how much pressure that person was exerting from their power. But when she looked at Mark, Frida felt like she was about to be crushed just by being in his presence!
His power level was so great and immeasurable that there was a constant blue storm of power coming off his body in waves like a raging ocean! She had only seen such power once before, and that was when she and Hugo met with an Undefined superhuman who was planning to buy a fleet of cars from the company for their guild. Frieda thinks that the superhuman was named Gunter or something.
She left the meeting that they had with the undefined too quickly and afterward, she was too preoccupied with scoping the area to care about their name.
But even without fighting him, Frida knew that she would die in seconds if she faced off against Gunter, and now she was feeling the same thing against Mark.
Could she even run from a person like this? No, that wouldn't be possible! Frida knew that if it ever came down to a contest of strength or if she was in a position where she had to protect her client against someone like Mark, the best she could do was to grab her client and run, and she knew that even that would not be enough! They wouldn't stand a damn chance against him!
But how is Mark already an Undefined? I thought he was an S class! That was madness! I heard that he was struggling against Disaster classes a few months ago! How did he already become strong enough to have the same aura as an Undefined!?
Frida looked towards Mark again, and she saw that Mark was still looking at her! She quickly averted her eyes, and she was glad that she managed to keep her stoic look on her face! She knew that she didn't have a choice but to be close to Mark since she was Hugo's bodyguard, but she didn't want to be anywhere near that aura for more than she had to be, so she would rather just avoid him for now!
Mark noticed Frida looking away again when their eyes met, and he decided that she really just didn't like him! That was fine by him, though! He didn't really give a damn about what people thought about him, so he just ignored her and started moving deeper into the building.
The inside of the Vanitas Motors building was extremely large with many people standing around and watching Mark move through the grounds with varying expressions on their faces.
"Is that him? That's GHOST, right? What is he doing here?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't you get the memo that he was coming to visit the company today? He's the son of the former president!"
"Eh!?"
"Shhh~! Are you insane!? Shut up!"
"I can't believe they're allowing him to come in here after what he did the other day. That man is a murderer."
"Man? That 'man' is barely eighteen. He's young."
"Eh? Really? Holy shit. What are kids eating these days?"
"It's nothing like that, he's just too fucking tall for his age. But still, to think that he is both GHOST as well as the heir to the Vanitas Franchise. That is probably the one person that you do not want to go against in this city. It doesn't matter what you do, you will definitely lose against him. It's a bit scary that one person has this much power."
"And he's a murderer to boot. It would be terrifying doing business against someone like this!"
"Maybe this will be good for the company. Our competitors won't dare to mess with us if they know Mark is the one at the top."
"Or maybe it will make our customers leave us because they don't like Mark. Who knows."
Mark ignored the voices of some of the staff that were standing around and walked towards where he knew the shareholder's meeting room was.
They took an elevator up to the top floor of the building, and they were about to make their way to the meeting room, but Mark raised a brow as a group of large men suddenly appeared from the hallway on one side and obstructed him from moving forward towards the meeting room! Well, this is getting interesting.
From what Mark could feel, he knew that every one of these men was a superhuman. There were mostly A and B ranks, but there was one S rank among them that stood in front of the rest of them. The men were all wearing black suits and sunglasses with earpieces in their ears. They looked like professional bodyguards and carried themselves with confidence as they stared Mark down.
"What is the meaning of this? Move out of the way this instant!"
Hugh shouted from behind Mark as he commanded the guards to get out of the way, but they did not budge. The S-rank that was in front of them was a large man who filled out his suit completely. He was even taller than Mark, and he was able to look Mark right in the eye as he blocked his path.
…

…
Mark read through the man's tab and he couldn't help but be slightly impressed! So he wasn't just tall for nothing; he was actually strong! Mark knew that it was difficult to find people who could stand toe to toe with Calamity classes in terms of power, so the fact that Jake could do that was very impressive! But that was not something that Mark cared about!
Even if the man was an S-rank, Mark knew that he could handle him easily! But what was even more impressive was the fact that Jake was taller than Mark. This was a first for Mark.
Mark looked up at Jake, and Jake glanced back at Mark with a blank look on his face.
Doom!
The two superhumans stared each other down with intensity, and the others in the room started to sweat as they felt the intense pressure that they were both releasing from their aura! Mark and Jake were both power types that used strength to fight, so there was no telling what would happen if one of them threw a punch!
At best, the entire area would be destroyed, and everyone there would end up as collateral damage! Mark had a small grin on his face as his pressure increased, but Jake managed to keep his face perfectly stoic as he joined his hands in front of him.
Mark suddenly lost his excitement as Jake concealed his pressure and relaxed his glare before bowing his head slightly! Mark narrowed his eyes at Jake.
How boring.
