Without hesitation, he threw a punch towards Derek who was already punching towards him. And in no time, the two fists collided with one another, before Vincent arrived.
Bang! Crack!
The moment that the two fists collided with each other, there was a loud sound of collision. And in the next moment, the clear sound of a bone crisply breaking could be heard.
Aaah! Bang!
Then, followed by a miserable scream, Derek's body shot backwards. At an incredible speed, landing heavily onto a rock that was not far from where they were.
Due to that, he felt that the bones in his body were about to break apart. Currently, not only had the hand that he had used to punch towards Jack had been broken completely, but, Jack's punch had moved forward and reached his chest area.
For that reason, several of his bones had been broken as well. And after he landed, the incredible pain that he was experiencing made him pass out immediately. But still, before he passed out, there was clear fear and horror in his eyes.
Vincent on the other hand had just arrived at the area where the two of them were colliding. But, he was a few microseconds late, and so, by the time that he arrived, Derek had already been blasted backwards.
Although he changed his trajectory, trying to catch Derek's body, but, since everything happened so abruptly, he was not able to grasp onto Derek.
With both anger and fear in his eyes, he rushed towards the area where Derek had fainted. He observed him, and realized that, currently, one of Derek's chest area had already been collapsed. Other than that, his right lung had already been pierced by his own bones.
That implied that, if he was not taken for treatment, he was going to die soon. After all, it had already become difficult for him to breathe, with blood being able to penetrate his lungs.
The old man looked at Jack with fury. He asked, "I already told you to stop, why did you not?"
Jack on the other hand looked at the old man as if he was looking at an idiot. Of course, he already knew that the old man was at the third stage of the superhuman level. Still, he was not afraid.
It might actually be true that he was not capable of defeating the old man, but, that did not imply that he was not capable of fighting against him. Additionally, it was not guaranteed that the old man was capable of defeating him.
"Who do you think I am? Your lackey? Do you think that I'm just going to listen to whatever you say? He attacked, and not only that, he destroyed my car. And do you know what makes me angry at him the most, that is the fact that he is having some thoughts towards my fiancee." Jack stated.
After that, he decided to ignore the old man. Anyway, he had already given Derek enough punishment. He himself had held back during the attack, otherwise, he would have definitely destroyed Derek completely.
But, this was going to be considered as a warning. If this guy did not listen and came over again, then, Jack would not hesitate to eliminate him completely.
Vincent on the other hand looked at Jack. It was true that he himself was not expecting that not only was Celine a superhuman, but, even Jack was actually a superhuman. This was something that was completely unexpected, so, he had not taken any precaution when Derek was facing off against Jack.
But now, it seemed that things were going to get a little complicated. If he wanted to take Celine together with him back to their family, then, he would have to deal with Jack first.
But, what kind of background did Jack possess? After all, for him to be able to become a superhuman at such a young age, that implied that there had to be something that he depended on.
That was something that the old man was a little cautious of. It might be true that they had investigated about Celine, before they were given the mission of bringing her back to the territory.
As for Jack, they had not been given any information about him. That implied that, Derek's father had not expected that they was going to be a person like Jack who was together with Celine.
Still, the old man decided to put everything aside for now. He had to make sure that Derek did not die. So, he carried the unconscious Derek back into the vehicle, before he drove away.
Currently, they only place that they could use in order to heal Derek was definitely in this stronghold. They did not have the time of moving to yet another stronghold. So, the old man immediately drove towards the direction of the Panthers organization.
Jack on the other hand watched as the old man left together with Derek. At the same time, he decided that he had to look for a way that he was going to improve his strength, even if it was just by a single level.
Of course, he was not planning on utilizing the three chances that he currently possessed. He wanted to abuse the system in order to get the resources that he wanted. But, it seemed that he had to play another game.
Although the car was destroyed, only the door was having the problem. So, Jack got back into the vehicle, before driving back towards the store. He still had to deal with Ivy, before focusing on another thing.
When the group got to the store, they realized that both Ivy and Daniel had already arrived. He did not say anything, and the group alighted from the car.
After opening the door of the store, Jack looked towards Ivy and said, "You can go ahead and pick something that you want."
After saying that, he entered into the store, before he began looking around. He was beginning to use the knowledge that he possessed, in order to see if there was something that was special, that could be exchanged for another thing, other than the star coins.
Ivy on the other hand was immediately stunned after entering the store. This was definitely not the first time that she had entered a store. But, she found out that the stores that she had entered into before, some of them were not at the same level as this store.
With her eyes shining brightly, she began looking at the items present on the shelves in the store. She wanted to make sure that she took the item that was the most expensive inside the store. This was going to teach Jack and his group and lesson.
Daniel on the other hand looked at the items and he could not help but get amazed. At the same time, he felt his heartbeat increasing. He had not expected that not only equipment, but, even several potions, serums and pills were present inside this store.
Since he had already been entering the Stronghold for the past 3 years, he had of course heard of several types of medicines and serums. So, he felt that this was a chance that was not supposed to be wasted.
He began looking around, and finally, he locked his gaze on a single serum. That serum was one that was given to normal humans, enabling them to become ordinary humans. It was something like an awakening potion from the fantasy.
[Cell stimulation serum. It is capable of stimulating the cells of a person, enabling them to have an increase in strength. Can help a normal human become a three star ordinary human. Cost: 27,000 star coins.]
Although it was not the most expensive product inside the store, but, it was the most important product to people like them as of now. After all, even if they got an equipment, if that equipment could only be utilized by a person of a particular star level of the ordinary human level, then, it was going to be useless to them.
Daniel turned around in order to inform his sister about this. But, he was surprised when he realized that, his sister had actually taken a pair of gloves. The reason behind that was that, the gloves cost about 30,000 star coins.
As if afraid that Ivy was going to make a decision of taking the gloves, Daniel rushed forward and snatched them from her. Ivy was just about to question her brother what was going on when he suddenly spoke to her.
"The most important thing that we can take inside here right now is that serum there. It is capable of enabling a person to become an ordinary human." Daniel stated agitatedly.
Ivy blinked her eyes as she looked at her brother. She had already been told about the information of the Stronghold. Although they did not possess that much information, but at least, they knew about the ordinary humans. And, there was a categorization according to the power levels of a person.
What Ivy currently knew was that, the majority of the people that belonged to several organizations inside the stronghold at least possessed a certain amount of power. Even if they were just relatives, and not real members of the organization, the prices of the items here was not that high.
So, it was not that difficult for the relatives to be able to acquire the serums for them from the stores, so that they could also become ordinary humans.
Knowing that her brother was not going to talk nonsense, Ivy immediately took the serum. Then, she looked at Jack and said, "I'll be taking this."
