Trouble

Taking a deep breath, Arthur finally started to get up and stand on the stage. Looking around, he saw that everyone had only surprised and shocked looks, while asking questions about what his name was.

The name of the mercenary is generally not disclosed, only in cases of high popularity or high level, such as A and S. Lower levels like level C did not have much general importance.

Ignoring everyone, this time on purpose, Arthur walked slowly towards the assistant who was next to the stage, who had a slightly surprised face.

"Card!" In a few words, his voice carried a calm tone.

"Yes, yes. Here it is, sir! Just like before, the deposit has already been executed. Remember that this card will work as a credit and debit card, so any purchase can be made by it. It also works for all banks. "

Waving his head at the assistant, Arthur took the card and pretended to put it in his pants pocket, while putting it inside the inventory.

He then went to the stairs and went down. Each step of him was being very calm and gentle, as if he was afraid to break something. As soon as he finished off the stage, he walked to a corner and picked up his clothes that had been ripped off by Hedgehead. After putting on his sneakers and his torn fabric coat, Arthur walked slowly towards the exit without speaking to anyone else.

But, before he could get there, as he passed the area with the tables, a group of people suddenly surrounded him and a voice started to speak behind him.

"You really are an admirable man. You killed five of my subordinates ... In fact, you could say there were six." The speaker was a muscular man with scars on his face and arms. He gave off a bloody feeling, but, unlike Snake, a streak of madness was also mixed.

When the man finished speaking, his gaze turned to a person. This person, who was huddled in the crowd and trembling with fear, was Vitor.

"Do you believe he called me here to take care of you, but it turned out that you killed five of mine ?? Tell me how it happened!?!?" A psychotic laugh came out of his mouth, and the intention to kill slowly spread through the region. "It really is a sad thing, don't you think? He has a problem with outsiders and on top of that he kills my dear followers !!" The laughter became more and more intense and attracted the attention of the people around, who began to observe the situation from a distance.

"But ... I am a kind man! Instead of killing one more of mine, I prefer to deal with my problems with you. What do you think?" His gaze at Arthur became even crazier and he went on to say, "What if you broke your legs and arms right now? I think I would let you out that door in a good way!"

***

On the other side, watching from a distance, was that same old man who bet on Arthur and won. As soon as he saw who Arthur was involved with, a sigh of sadness was breathed out.

"Did you mess with the Sinner !? Boy, it seems that everything you do involves something that threatens your life." His voice sounded sad and wistful. "It looks like I lost one of my sources of income." But his intentions were completely indifferent.

The people around agreed with the old man and had the same opinion.

"The difference between a Tier B mercenary and a Tier C mercenary is very big. It can only be filled with a good quality super vaccine." Another mercenary was speaking at the same time.

***

Back in turmoil, Arthur was still standing with his back to Sinner. Surrounded by many people, in addition to the Sinner's murderous intention filling the area, it seemed that it would be complicated for him ... but the he of the past.

In a calm and good-humored voice, Arthur spoke sarcastically: "Do you know what's funny? I have some skills that I haven't been able to test yet. It seems that the universe is giving me a testing ground. Don't you think?"

At the end of his sentence, Arthur disappeared and suddenly appeared in front of the Sinner. Using his Will, newly strengthened by the fighting, Arthur focused it only on Sinner and made him kneel. Even though Sinner was a level B mercenary, the Will's specific control over him alone was still very effective.

Not to mention the fact that Arthur greatly increased his strength after he leveled up, so if he were to take the mercenaries' test again, only his Intelligence would allow him to be a high-grade, almost level-A mercenary.

After Arthur appeared in front of the Sinner and used his Will, the Sinner suddenly knelt down and his eyes went white. He had passed out. Soon after, Arthur touched his forehead and said:

'Abyss'

Instantly, a vortex appeared in Arthur's palm and Sinner's ego was completely absorbed, transforming himself into a puppet under Arthur's control.

Approaching Sinner's ear, Arthur whispered softly, "Get up and apologize. Then tell everyone to go about their own business. For you, I have certain plans, so go to that address at the end of the night." As soon as he finished speaking, Arthur said where Sinner should go and then walked away.

Following his orders, Sinner soon got up and said, "Sorry to bother you, sir!" He then looked at his subordinates and said, "Get out of here, spread out. I don't want anyone else to bother this man!" After having given his own orders, Sinner also walked away and went somewhere to wait until night came.

***

Everyone around the mess felt extremely confused by what had happened. Sinner was so determined to kill Arthur and, after Arthur whispered something in his ear, he suddenly apologized and left.

What kind of scary creature was this man who had survived five deadly fights?

Everywhere Arthur went, people made way for him, trying their best to avoid his sight.

***

As soon as he reached the stairs to go up, Arthur again heard a female voice rise in his ears, coming from behind his back.

"Wait a moment, Young Man. Can we discuss a few things before you leave?" Janice, the young man's secretary who was watching in the private room, spoke in a soft but slightly breathless voice.
