Chapter 20: Test Your Skills

Jack closed the scanning page. Suddenly, a car drove over from a distance.

Seeing this, Jack walked straight into the alley. He had already been observing it. The alley was dark, the lights were very dim, and there were no cameras. The darkness was his best cover. In this place, the other party could not even see his face clearly.

Creak!

The sound of a car’s emergency brake rang out. Four young men got out of the car. They looked to be in their twenties. They were bald, had scars, and even had tattoos on their faces. They looked fierce.

Kelly saw Jack walking into the alley and immediately ran in front of him to stop him. She shouted, “Ralph! Hurry, he’s running!”

The four of them rushed into the alley and surrounded Jack.

Then, they took out a folding knife from their pocket.

“You still want to run?”

“I’ll cripple you tonight!”

“Is Miss Kelly someone you can easily offend?”

“What are you talking about? Just attack him!” Kelly yelled.

The corners of Jack’s mouth curled up slightly. He glanced at the four of them coldly. The leader, Ralph, had a combat value of 35 (maximum value of 40). The other three were at around 30.

His combat value was 50.

This was not something that four people combined could match up to him.

Even if it was four against one, the result would not be any different.

“Ralph, give him two scars and let him bleed a little, but don’t kill him!” Kelly reminded him.

Jack leaned up against the wall of the alley. He took a step back. He would not leave his back exposed to the enemy.

Then, he held a sharp dagger in his hand.

His whole body seemed to blend into the darkness of the alley.

He was like an experienced hunter waiting for his prey.

The leader, Ralph, cursed and stabbed at Jack’s thigh with his knife!

The prey was coming!

Jack slightly squatted down.

Swoosh!

A flash of knife light!

There was a scream of pain.

Then, a ghost appeared in the darkness and attacked them from left and right. After a few flashes of the knife, all four of them fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Jack put away his dagger and looked at them coldly.

“Impossible! How is this possible?” Kelly was in disbelief. It was over before she could react.

“Ralph?”

Ralph pulled back with one leg, his face covered in cold sweat.

“Too fast! This guy has practiced with knives before!” Ralph hissed. “It hurts so much!”

The four of them fell to the ground almost instantly. No one could explain or understand what was going on, but they realized that they were faced with a different kind of opponent.

At this time, Jack spoke grimly. “If you guys don’t want to get holes in your thighs, kneel down and apologize right now!”

Kelly was so scared that she started to tremble. She lowered her head and looked at her snow-white legs. They were smooth and fair. She was very proud of her long legs, so whenever the weather was not so cold, she would wear shorts and show them off. She didn’t want to kneel down, and she didn’t want to get any wounds, because that would definitely leave a terrifying scar!

Plop!

Kelly immediately knelt down.

“I’m sorry! I was wrong! Let me go!” she said.

Seeing her kneel down, the other three girls also knelt down.

“I’m sorry! We were blind to come looking for trouble with you. Please, let us go!”

The four girls then started sobbing. They were begging Jack to let them go as they kept kowtowing.

Jack’s gaze swept over Ralph and the others.

“What? You attacked me the moment you arrived. Don’t you need to apologize?” Jack said.

When Ralph heard this, he didn’t say anything and directly knelt down.

“I was wrong! I shouldn’t have come to find trouble with you, and I shouldn’t have pulled out a knife in front of you. I was really wrong!”

“I was also impulsive. Please let me go!”

Ralph and the others apologized and begged while kowtowing.

Jack looked at them with contempt. It was clear to him that these people were actually the most cowardly and timid. In the face of the strong, they were cowardly, meek, and timid. To their weak opponents, they were ruthless. They would wet their pants, splash sh*t on them, or take off their clothes. They would do such despicable and shameless acts to people who can’t and won’t stand up to them.

These were scums who had been undisciplined. They must have been spoiled when they were young. Now that they were all grown up, they were all murderers!

“I have a habit of listening to slaps. The louder the sound, the happier I am. So, you slap each other. When I am happy and contented, I will forgive you!” Jack said coldly.

‘Fuck!’ Kelly, Ralph, and all the others were swearing and cursing in their heads.

They were divided into four groups, and they knelt on the ground and slapped each other.

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

For a moment, the sound of slapping rang out in the alley.

Jack listened quietly. A few of them were slapped dozens of times. Blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, and their faces were swollen.

He looked at Bella behind him. He saw that she was in a daze and had yet to recover from her shock.

“This knife is for you. In the future, just take this out and stab whoever bullies you,” he said to her.

Bella’s eyes widened. In the past, she would not even dare to think of doing such a thing. Ever since she was a young girl, her parents taught her to be kind. At this moment, she did not know what was going on. She held on to the knife, which was still stained with blood. She then meekly nodded.

“Okay!” she muttered.

“Did you hear that? Next time, if you do this again, you will die. Now scram,” Jack said.

Hearing Jack’s words, they immediately stood up and ran away. Some of them even wet their pants in fear.

At this moment, Jack had also left. His figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.

Bella turned around and saw that he had disappeared. She was shocked. If not for the heavy dagger, which was still dripping with blood, she would have thought that she had met a ghost.

Leaving the alley from the other side, Jack blended into the crowd.

He was not a busybody and did not want to get involved in any disputes. However, he would not shy away from an opportunity to help someone in need and to test his combat skills.

This was because he was very rational and calm, and yet such moments always excited him.

“Hey! Hey, handsome! I’m calling you!”

Jack’s arm was suddenly pulled by someone.

For a moment, Jack’s gaze swept over. All the muscles in his body tensed up, and he was ready for battle. He almost threw the girl to the ground.

The girl was about 12 or 13 years old, less than 1.5 meters tall. She was wearing a short white skirt. Her skin was fair and her facial features were delicate. She had long straight blonde hair, revealing her big eyes, which looked like they had sapphires embedded in them. The hair on her head was tied into a small bun. She looked especially cute and beautiful.

“Who are you?”  Jack was a little stunned when the girl suddenly jumped out from the street.

“My name is Aisha. You can also call me ‘little cookie.’”

Jack squatted down and smiled. “Little friend, I don’t know you. You have the wrong person.”

“You don’t know me, but I know you. I saw you in the alley just now. You are amazing!” the young girl said excitedly.

“Alley? What alley?”
