Just for a moment, the room became as silent as a classroom during the national test.

The only sound in the room was the sound of bone chewing that a fool was making.

On the opposite, I saw Andrews looking at him with mixed amusement and anger in his eyes.

It wasn't really a surprise since with his hard work, Andrew was able to expand the Jackal territory at almost thrice of its original size in just two months.

If not for the implants that I gave to him, Andrews would look like a desiccated mummy, with the number of sleepless nights he spent working in his office.

Only since one or two week he was finally able to sleep three or four hours each night.

But then this asshole appeared out of nowhere and asked him to hand over all his hard work.

"Hooh~~."

I saw Andrews letting out a long breath and laid back to his chair, getting into a more comfortable position.

I could even hear the cracking sound of his spine.

But why is Andrew getting so relaxed?

"...Well, I know your types, and I could even say your type is what I am the most used to see ?"

"Ho Oh~~ As expected, famous bootlicker."

Both of you are talking about the same things, right?

"So is this the dream of Mr.Gozgurk or from yourself, Tejeda?"

"Heh, don't get it to your head bootlicker, as if the boss would be interested to work with chicken like you."

Tejeda said while taking a small bottle from his pocket and puttong five or six pills in his palm.

"Good, good, good, seems like we won't be able to reach an agreement with you. So Tejeda, will you continue ?"

Andrews dropped his usual business smile and honorifics. Then he stood up and slowly walked towards the room's entrance.

"Oh ho ho, hah, is that the last drop of courage from a small fry? No use in calling those things called enforcers. I can squash them like bugs all the same."

"After killing you, I will sell every woman in this building to slavery, especially that little girl, but I won't forget to taste them first~~.

"No need for you to go into such trouble. I think my little brother is enough for you."

Then I saw a very angry Chen standing behind the door.

Ah!

Look like he heard everything.

"Ah? Ahhahahahah~~! Is that a hidden master of your gang? A fucking kid! HAHAHA!"

He even hunching back from laughing, taking Chen as a complete joke.

Typical cannon fodder appears to show the main character's power after training.

"Uncle Andrews, for this time. I will do him for free."

"Thanks, Chen."

Oh, it seems Andrews and Chen made some deal. But I don't know anything, so that means they made it in their room as I placed my eyes almost everywhere, but their room or the restroom.

I like to observe people, but that doesn't mean I don't give them privacy. Also, a few surprises for the observer is fun in its own way.

"Hey, you! Front Teeth, get out!"

Like some hooligan calling someone out from the classroom, Chen called Tejeda out and left the room.

Still, cultivators that are supposed to appear holy or noble, Chen's way of attitude is more like a hooligan.

I can't blame him since he got raised in a literal garbage dump.

"Heh, I'm gonna beat you like a dog."

Oh!

For a junkie, he still has some mind left. He must be thinking about not damaging his future property.

They walked out from Jackal's headquarters.

"Now DIE!"

Without even giving a sign, visible blood-like energy surrounded his hand, and he swung towards Chen.

That energy moving around his arms looked like a vortex and had a quite dangerous aura.

But Chen easily dodged the move with minimal effort, with movements similar to the footwork I used against him.

At that moment, I detected a violent energy movement happening inside Chen's body.

At first, it started small, like an sparrow egg.

But after going through an unknown stage, its power doubled, then doubled again, and again, again, again.

Until it grew specifically 32 times of its original strength.

As expected, he learned some OP techniques from his invisible teacher.

Then.

"IRON MOUNTAIN!"

He took a big step forward, then placed his elbow enhanced by that power right on the poor guy's gut.

"UGH!"

What a last word.

The ground beneath Chen's feet cracked into pieces while the poor guy blasted away, leaving behind a bloody trail.

But due to the powerful force, anything fifty meters in a cone shape was blasted into pieces, as if it was hit by a tornado.

"AH!"

Chen spoke while observing his elbow.

"AH!"

Andrews spoke while observing the property damages.

"Oh, cheap uncle, I gotta go. I needed to collect some herbs for my next experiments. Bye!"

Almost instantly, Chen ran away from Andrews' sight like the wind.

"Yo-you what? Chen? CHEN!"

You cheeky bastard.

When Andrews finally realized what was happening, Chen had already disappeared.

Using 01, I walked towards his back and comforted him.

"?"

"What is it, master?"

By calculating the total damage, I could say he would say goodbye to two days' worth of sleep.

....

...

.

Later, Andrews told me that the guy that got blown away by Chen was one of the lieutenants from Gore Claw, one of five leaders of district 0.

It is a gang made of warriors for hire, used by other establishments as extra muscle or guards.

Looks like they felt a bit threatened by Andrews' way, for not asking for their protection and using guards that are of a far more high quality than their members.

So they sent one of their lieutenants to get rid of him.

"Seems they wanted to start a war. Since we didn't have any choice but to retaliate."

Well, that is a conclusion that Andrews reached but as for me?

I don't know!

I am not a thinker like you!

True I got a supercomputer as a brain, but that is only for calculation!

I only know how to shoot and punch someone or something to death!

I just followed what Andrews said and acted like I understood something.

Like that, days passed and an invitation for the meeting arrived.
