Face-Slapping System

Scar-face subconsciously flinched as Roland stood in front of the thin man from before.

Among all of Scar-face's men, this man was the most lascivious one. He was even the one who suggested that they play with Stacey.

Hence, Roland would not forget his face.

Standing in front of him, Roland produced a demonic grin.

"You were itching for a fight earlier, right? Then come and fight!" Roland said as his fist did not wait for the man's answer.

His fist traveled at extreme speed, hitting the man's horrified face at the next second.

The man's body was about to fly back from the force, however, Roland caught him in time, his body halting in mid-air.

Roland saw blood spurting from the man's nose and at the corner of his brows. However, Roland did not stop as he struck with his fist yet again.

Blood spurted even more. As if possessed by a demon, Roland did not stop until the man's body became limp. This was how enraged he was to this man.

His piled up emotion to the other party was finally released. A satisfied grin appeared on his face as he looked at the final man, Scar-face himself.

Due to Roland's fierce performance, the other around has already unconsciously stopped their fight. Even Scar-face and Denis themselves who had the fiercest fight amongst the group also stopped on their tracks as they observed Roland's ruthlessness.

Roland took a step forward, Scar-face would also take a step backward.

Denis, also stepped aside unconsciously as he let Roland pass by him.

Roland's aura as he went past Denis was very menacing, even Denis himself, who knew that Roland was on their side, was flustered upon feeling the atmosphere around Roland.

Previously, he had not even thought that Roland could fight, much less fight to this extent and even perform at such a level a notch higher than him who was praised by his fighting powers during his peak.

Now however, Roland only brushes past him but it already made Denis feel afraid a little.

Even he himself was afraid, how much more Scar-face who was the target of Roland's gaze?

Indeed, Scar-face kept on retreating with trembling legs.

However, unknowingly, he had already reached the edge of the jetty. At his back were the deep and dark sea.

"S-stop! Stop! We can talk this out!" Scar-face said, trying to save himself even at the last second.

"There is nothing to talk about, though," Roland said with a straight face.

Roland stood in front of Scar-face fearlessly. Even with Scar-face holding a knife, Roland was not afraid of getting close to him.

Due to his inhuman performance earlier, Scar-face had subconsciously thought that even the knife would not be able to hit Roland.

"Fuck it!"

A resolute and ruthless expression appeared on Scar-face's face. He was obviously cornered, and he knew that he no longer had any way out.

Knowing that there was no other choice, Scar-face stabbed the knife towards Roland.

However, his movements were easily captured by Roland. He parried it with his left, as his right went for a punch to Scar-face's guts.

Aurrghh!

A painful groan escaped Scar-face's mouth. The force that hit his gut was at least a few more times stronger than what Denis had delivered earlier. And to think that he had constantly praised Denis' 'divine strength' from before. Compared to this, Denis' strength should be called a toddlers strength, instead.

Scar-face knelt down unintentionally due to the pain on his guts. Roland grabbed his head and lifted him up with one hand.

Swoosh!

A kick went flying as it struck Scar-face's guts yet again. His eyes went white and as wide as saucers due to the pain, in the end, he fainted with just two strikes from Roland.

Roland clicked his tongue and dropped him to the ground with a thud.

He looked around and noticed that the silence was deafening.

Everyone was looking at him as if he was a monster as they gulped a mouthful of saliva both in awe and fear.

"Tie them up together," Roland ordered, The other nodded their head as they began to work without delay.

A few moments later, they finally heard the police's siren.

Roland and the others clicked their tongue at their 'timely' arrival.

'No wonder they're also termed as the 'peace officers' by the common folks, as they would only arrive when everything was already in peace,' Roland muttered to himself.

A while later, four police patrol cars arrived at the scene. They got out of their vehicle as they immediately pointed their guns towards them.

"Freeze! Hands in the air!" One of them shouted with a bellowing voice.

"No, don't shoot. They're with us," Stacey's voice came out of one of the patrol cars.

She emerged from inside and ran towards Roland after seeing that the situation had already more or less resolved.

Of course, as an overthinker and as an imaginative person, Stacey has already run multiple scenarios inside her mind. Most of them were, of course, about Roland beating up the people on the ground single handedly. And as always, her imagination was spot on.

The 'peace officers' finally lowered their guard upon seeing the scene.

They each nodded towards each other as one of them took the radio to report the overall situation to their higher-ups.

They then began their preliminary investigations and began taking notes of what has happened.

Roland and the others cooperated obediently. At first, Roland was actually worried that he might go to prison for beating multiple at once, and horribly at that.

However, Denis assured him that he would handle this matter.

Denis told the police officers what 'truly' happened. From start to finish, including Scar-face's gang's robbery as well as the kidnapping incident, which Roland confirmed as the owner of the yacht.

Previously, Roland already knew that Scar-face also had his own connections with the authorities, or else, he and his gang would survive this long in Brine City.

Of course, Denis also knew of this matter. He also presented his own backing, which was Martin himself.

Although Martin was not known to common folks, many influential people knew of his name as one of the major tycoons in Brine City. It was the police chief himself who volunteered to give them a 'satisfying result.

Denis also mentioned the case of Martin being held by Romeo and his men in his house.

The Chief Police nodded his head and fetched Martin personally.

Martin smiled at the police chief and said, "No need to worry chief, we were only having a drink."

He then looked back at Romeo who had an ashen face and said, "This is not over yet."

Going to prison was the least of his worries right now. Martin will make sure of it.

On the other hand, after sending the wounded people to the hospital, Roland and Stacey stayed at the QP Hotel together.

With Martin's name, the Police Chief went nuts and worked extremely hard to 'resolve' the matter personally in the shortest amount of time.

With the 'witness' they have, Scar-face and the others were basically finished and they would surely be sent to prison. However, with how badly Roland beat them up, it seems that they had already reserved their due punishment.

However, this does not mean that everyone was happy with such a soft outcome.

For example, Stacey's secret bodyguard who was always hiding in the shadows had a ruthless expression on her face.

"This kid is quite capable considering his age. It looks like he had also cultivated to the peak of first level already considering the strength he showed. That strength at that age is already considered a genius. I wonder which family of cultivators he came from?"

She had actually witnessed the whole fight earlier, from start to finish. Even though she was only observing from afar, with her level of eyesight, it was not even a problem seeing a kilometer away clearly.

"Unfortunately, this kid is still quite green. To think that he always held back his punches. Of all the people he beat up, only three of them were in a critical condition. Hmmp! If you won't finish them, then let me finish them for you and as a revenge for the young miss as well!"

After saying that, she retracted her gaze from the top room of QP hotel as she disappeared without a trace.

Scar-face and the others were quite unfortunate. They had been beaten so badly by Roland already, however, someone in the dark was actually already waiting next in line to give them her own piece as well.

On the other hand, at the QP hotel's room.

Stacey snuggled in Roland's arm with a frown on her delicate face.

Roland kissed her forehead gently, easing the worry on her face.

Although she might have not shown it out, Roland was more than aware that she was also horrified by the whole matter from before.

Right now, Roland could only blame himself for letting his guard down, allowing Stacey to experience such a terrible situation.

However, Roland also knew that he should not remain rooted in the past, and that he should just move on and use the past as his experience to do something better in the future.

The whole matter actually made Roland grow even more as a person.

One of the valuable lessons he learned that day was that, no matter how strong he became, if he was outnumbered, the enemies would still be able to find his soft spot, and use it against him.

However, life has always been like that. It would always give you lessons to learn, and challenges to overcome.

Right now, Roland has already learned the lesson and had also overcome a simple challenge. The reward was his growth.

Just like that, Roland's mind went adrift as his thoughts wandered aimlessly in the void.

After a few minutes, his consciousness slowly faded away as he began to fall asleep.

However, Roland forget that today was yet another day for the three day settlement reward.

Fortunately, the System would not allow him to forget about it.

Ding!

[Detected that the host is about to sleep. Calculating settlement rewards for the past three days...]

Roland's shut eyes opened abruptly. Staring at the System screen, he could not help but anticipate what kind of rewards he would get this time.
