CHAPTER 9

John looked at the four of them who were arguing with some soldiers. John went to Luke Rose who was at the side and asked, "What happened?"

Rose smiled and said, "The officer tried to hit on Erica. He is from a military family. He has a huge background."

John looked at her and asked, "What is the threat level?"

Rose said, "There is no threat. It is only some verbal argument."

John said, "Should I intervene?"

Rose said, "There is no need to. They will fight and leave. Ramson hates Erica as she always used to beat him down when she was young even though he was older than her. He can only take out on her in such occasions."

John said, "Such pathetic people should not be called men."

Rose said, "Yes, they should be called pussy."

John said, "Cats are too cute to be a derogatory term. It would be better to call him a rattlesnake."

Rose asked, "That is true. Cats are cute."

Ramson came to John and asked, "Do you have a problem with me?"

John said, "I have a problem with you. You whole body reeks of cowardice. How did you become an officer in the military?"

Ramson was angry and said, "Who do you think you are? A martial artist?"

John said, "Yes." John released the fighting intent of his body. Although he never like the fighting intent, his subordinates had led him to develop it to let the outsiders fear his majesty. Ramson took a step back saying, "How can there be such a young warrior?"

He was ashamed and went away from there. The other soldiers were ashamed of such a person being one among them but they still had to protect one of their own. Jimmy came to John and asked, "I am a warrior. How about we fight?"

John thought for a moment and said, "Yes. It has been a long time before I fought with someone."

Jimmy walked away and John followed him. The others also followed him including the four of them and the soldiers. Jimmy took two knives and said, "I fight with knives as it would be more useful in battle to use a knife and a gun"

John took a sword and said, "You can use a gun."

Jimmy shouted, "Do not underestimate me" and ran towards him. the sword he had taken from the side was strong enough to behold the attacks as he had strengthened it. All the attacks were broken head on and he kept hitting Jimmy with the blunt side of the sword. Jimmy was tired due to it and John said, "Use the gun."

All the people at the side retreated as they had to be sure about their safety. Jimmy took two guns and two knives. He held a knife in right hand and the gun in the left hand. He ran and approached John and shot him at his hand. John took his hand and caught the bullet. Jimmy was dumbfounded there and stopped. He could not lose at this moment and even if he lost, he had to lose with dignity. He used his steps to move to the side and approached him. Jimmy kept hitting with both knife and gun and all of them were stopped by the sword. He finally got tired and said, "I give up."

John looked at him and said, "I may not know much fighting techniques but yours is inclined more to fighting against people with guns and in the jungles. It is not so useful against other warriors."

Jimmy said, "Not everyone can stop the bullets."

John said, "True."

Jimmy asked, "Why don't you have some method? You were using just some blunt attacks."

John said, "The word martial artist does not mean that I have taken the fighting method to the extreme. The word also talks about a person that refines their bodies to the extreme. Their senses are too high that they do not need some fighting methods. You are really good."

John went to Erica and said, "When are we leaving?"

Paul said, "We usually stay till the evening."

John said, "The guns are boring."

Erica said, "I don't find it boring."

John took a gun from the side and pointed at his head. He kept shooting and the gun kept hitting at his head with a metallic sound and it lay down. John said, "Gun is useless and boring."

Erica said, "What do you want?"

John said, "Tanks and missiles."

Erica said, "It is impossible."

John said, "It is really boring. You guys play with the guns. I will play with the grenades at the side."

Erica could only say, "I can try contacting my grandfather."

John said, "500 ml of metal drink."

Erica said, "I will tell him about it."

Erica went to call her grandfather and John played with the guns. Rose came to his side and asked, "Why are you looking for tanks."

John said, "I can stop the bullets. Do you think this is interesting?"

Rose asked, "So you think the tanks are interesting."

John said, "I have no interest in the rounds. What I want is to ride the tank? I want to feel the feeling of riding the tank."

Rose said, "If it was unmanned tanks, we can get some of them from the outdated market."

John said, "I want the real feeling."

A woman in military dress came to both of them and said, "I am Betty. I am the one in charge of driving the tank."

John asked, "Has the military allowed the tanks to be driven?"

She laughed and said, "No. I have not received such a message but if you want, I can allow you to ride it. You can also fire some rounds. I have the power to make it so."

John looked at her and found that she was beautiful and she was also a warrior. She was strong and was to his liking. He looked at her and asked, "What do you want?"

Betty smiled and said, "How about you come with me on a date? I liked strong women. I meant to say I like strong men."

John looked at her and smiled, "I also like strong women. But I have no interest in you. My body is too strong and you will die if you stay with me."

Betty laughed and said, "You are able to live a normal life. You should able to control your strength, right?"

John looked at her and said, "I can indeed downgrade my strength to normal human levels if I want and the resilience and the defense will indeed remain the same." John thought about a sad truth. What would happen if a female subordinate of his would train with metal energy? Is it even possible for someone to fuck her. Normal men should not be able to. He is happy to be a man as he can have all the fun he wants with weaker women as he can control his strength. He smiled and said, "When is the date?"

Rose came in front of Betty and said, "I was the first to arrive."

John said, "That is true." John thought about his mother and how she died. He could extend her life to a long period of time and she would still die. There was no way to ensure that she could have a proper memory as she is being without power. The basic necessary thing for a being to be immortal is unlimited permanent memory that cannot be sensed or interacted by any other being or item. She does not have it. What would he do if someone changes her mind? Such fickle women like her could be manipulated just by external pressures like money and family. She is not worthy. He did not want to have more sad feelings as they died. His life is meant to be alone and the world is nothing more than a game.

John said, "Forget about the date. I have no interest in getting married or being in a relationship. You can find someone else."

Betty asked with a smile, "Have you promised her?"

John said, "No. It is just that I have other things to do. Even if I will be with some women, it will not be her."

Rose had tears in her eyes and she ran away. John sighed and Betty asked with a frown, "Why do you say such things? She is a fragile being."

John said, "She is a child and has to accept the facts of the world. I have no interest in her and it would be better if she forgot about me."

Betty said, "Are you coming to the date?"

John said, "Forget it, I have no interest in such things."

Betty sighed and said, "I will meet you later. We can be friends." She cursed in her heart for John playing the hard-to-get game. But she liked him as he was a strong, handsome and masculine man. John looked at her back and did not think much. There are billions of humans on this planet and there will be tens of thousands who can fit his criteria of being his women. He can easily have them all to him and have them to his hearts content. He has no interest in physical pleasure due to sex. What he wanted was something akin to love and it was not available in his previous life as the humans had not evolved to that point. They only had maternal feelings and feelings towards life and tribe. But the fact is that he cannot have true love as they will always die. He does not know whether he will die but he will never be sad as he will make sure that there is nothing in this world that can make him sad. He took the guns and played with them more.
