Cornered

A gentle and serious beauty.

This is his first impression of Angelina Valentine; nevertheless, it did not last long.

"This big sister can teach you how to love if you want."

He tries to walk away from the hunger on her face, but he is at the end of the sofa.

'It's tempting to pursue a relationship with a woman like her, but I'm just a regular person. She's an S-rank explorer, therefore her endurance is far greater than mine. I am a man, and I wanted to dominate, not be dominated by her.'

"Can we talk first? If you do that with me, my aunt is going to despise you."

"Do not worry about it. Although we don't do it anymore, I can convince her to join us."

"What the…"

He is speechless.

"I'm sorry but I'm gonna pass your offer."

He is currently focused on something.

'It's strange that a woman who has been revered by all be a thirsty woman. I can only think of two explanations. Either she is concealing it or she—'

"Eh?"

She abruptly placed his hands on her chest, interrupting his thoughts.

'It is soft...'

He is flustered at the moment and can't help but think about this.

"Are you sure about this?"

Her voice right now is quite appealing to his ears, but he tries not to fall for it.

"I-I truly appreciate but I'm gonna pass your offer."

He strengthened his thoughts.

*Pft!

"Hahahaha…"

She suddenly laughed.

"You passed!"

She spoke as she backed away.

"As expected, your…"

"Yes, I am testing you. I wanted to know about my friend's nephew's character. That is all."

"I see, but please don't do it again. It's bad for my heart."

"Really? Bad for your heart or something down there."

He looks at his lower body and feels humiliated since his thing is very alive.

"You're fourteen, right?"

"15 but I'm gonna be 16 next month."

"16?"

"Yes. Is there an issue with my age?"

"No, it's just… well, your thing is quite long for your age."

She reddened briefly when she stated this.

Because he was sitting, the front half of his jeans was tight, causing his long schlong to protrude through them.

She coughed to avoid making things more unpleasant.

"By the way, everything I said previously is a joke, so don't take it literally. Also, do not tell your aunt or anybody else about it. She will kill me if people believe my lies."

Seeing the dread in her eyes, he couldn't understand why a S rank adventurer like her was afraid of his aunt.

"I understand."

However, he is unconcerned about it and simply accepts with her request.

…

Everything is OK, and he is pleased that he was able to fulfill all of his tasks.

Walking back to his shop, he decided to collect his awards.

[Auto Weak Point: A skill that automatically hits a weak spot on both offense and defense.]

[Computer Set: The computer set has been assembled at the Tech Haven shop. You can use it right away.]

'I can receive a skill in my system? I'm not going to lie, this is pretty cliche, but it also has a terrible plot. My system's name is Tech system, so why do I get a skill rather than a technology? There's a computer, but... come on!'

[Do you wish to delete your reward?]

"No, no, no, I'm just kidding. I'm glad I received this."

He resolved not to worry with these minor issues again because his system might react to them.

Since he can't use the computer right now, he chose to test his skill.

When he arrives at a secluded alley, he activates his talent.

However, nothing occurred.

'It's within my expectations. If my theory is true, I can use my skills to strike a weak point if…'

"Hey, brother, may I ask you something?"

Someone called him while he was thinking.

Upon seeing the man, he deduces that he is an adventurer.

"What is it?"

Despite having a nasty premonition, he opted to play along.

"Brother, do you know where the exit is here? You see, I'm lost."

'Bullsh*t! You came to the exit and said you were lost? Do you think I'm foolish?'

He grinned innocently and added, "You can just walk back. That is where the exit is."

"I see. Thank you. By the way, I'd like to thank you for your help by treating you some dinner; I hope you will join me."

Despite his assurances, the man displays a knife and points to him.

"So this is the end of your act huh… How pathetic."

The man is terrified by the aura he exudes, but he suspects he is bluffing.

And he is right!

Although his tone is chilly and he appears to be a badass, Alex Hambell is actually terrified, to the point where he can no longer stand.

He realizes how silly he is for going to an isolated spot after showing off in the guild.

He understands why this man is here.

Either for his money or his smartphone.

He can only think of two reasons why he is cornered right now.

Soon, the man's pals appear.

"We, too, are lost, brother. Can you direct us to the exit?"

The man who appears to be their leader said.

'Well, he's bald and dressed better than the rest, so I assumed he was the leader.'

Alex Hambell claimed that he is not a racist.

However, this type of thought would not let him escape, so he determined to offer his all.

"Could you please drop your act now? It's quite disgusting."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

"You understand what we want. Simply sacrifice everything you have, and we will let you go."

The apparent leader said.

"What if I don't?"

They didn't say anything and simply revealed their weapons.

"Resistance is futile so just give up and give everything you have right now."

The apparent leader warns him for the final time.

'Although I am scared to fight, I shall do everything to my ability. If my theory regarding my skill is correct, I do not need to move at all.'

The bald man sighs and says, "Don't worry, we won't kill you, but it will hurt a little!"

As soon as he said it, the bald man's minions attacked Alex.

The minion is aiming for his shoulders so that he does not die quickly.

However, before the man could strike him, Alex Hambell vanished in front of him.
