“Alice ?! Stop playing around,” Desmond shouted, making the people on the street worry about his psyche.
One second… two seconds… for half a minute, Desmond hadn’t seen Alice. Immediately, he checked the toy shop but couldn’t find the shop owner.
[System found the same flow energy as the caster in this area]
* tch * He snorts and looks at the situation in the shop. Suddenly, his gaze focused on the door; a woman’s moan is heard and without thinking, Desmond headed to the source of the sound and knocked on that door.
[Caster is nearby]
The door is still silent, but the moan becomes louder. Impatient, Desmond tried to break the door with a kick, but the door didn’t budge. He tried to break the door a couple of times, but every time Desmond attempted to break the door, the moaning sound became louder.
“Fuck this door!” He became annoyed and used [Swordsman Skill: Body Enhancement]; it made the skin on his legs slowly harden, and once again, he tried to kick the door, and as a result, the door fell forward.
“Where the fuck is my sister!” snapped Desmond, looking at the situation in the room.
The room looked shabby with a very fishy smell and a ceiling made of bricks. The room is dim, but fortunately, two candles are attached to the wall making the view in front of it visible. There is also one larger bed in the middle of the room.
On top of the bed is a middle-aged man with a fairly fat body proportion, standing with sweat pouring all over his body. Every part of his body could also be seen because he was not wearing any clothes.
In contrast, Desmond also saw a woman who was quite beautiful with a lot of cosmetics covering her face and long hair that almost filled all areas of the mattress. She also had hips and breasts that could be said to be quite large.
Almost all the curves of the woman’s body were visible, with sweat all over her body. She was also naked, facing the opposite direction of the middle-aged man.

[System Suggestion: Kill the caster to get your mind clear]
When Desmond saw the person’s status, his eyes became cold, and unconsciously, he let out a bit of a killing air. Gradually, he approached the fat man and choked his neck. The woman on the bed covered her body with a thick blanket before running out of the store.
“My sister came in and shopped in this shop and bought some toys.
“But when I left her for a while, she was gone.
“Tell me what you see, or I’ll crush one of your fingers.” Desmond said, then released his grip on the fat man.
The fat man fell into the bed coughing.
“Fuck you, why do I have to give…” Before the fat man could finish his word, Desmond stomped on one of his fingers until it broke.
* scream * The fat man screamed, but Desmond choked his neck again, breaking another finger.
“Keep quiet, just tell me where my sister is.” Desmond let go of his grip and waited for a few seconds.
The fat man held and massaged his neck; he also coughed a few times before speaking, “Please… don’t hurt me… please.
“I only told her how to get a free toy.
“That ras-” * scream * the fat man was in pain while holding his finger. Desmond had stepped on one of his fingers again.
“Don’t call my sister by that name… continue.”
“Ye-es … after that, I guided her to a narrow alley and told her that she would get a free toy in the corner of the alley.
“I see.”
“Please release…” When the fat man wanted to continue, he felt his head moving to the side. His head fell, and he could see his own body without the head.
Desmond wiped his blade with a handkerchief as he looked at the shocked fat man’s expression.
“Noisy.”
When he wanted to walk away, the system interface suddenly interrupted him.
[Mind spell in host canceled]
Desmond could feel his mind become clear, the mist started to fade, and he started thinking about his strange behavior earlier, “Calm down, relax, find Alice, and rescue her.”
[Mass of Unique Energy Found!]
[Did the Host want to absorb it Y / N?]
Desmond is stunned for a moment. Can he get energy from killing people?
He then answered yes and saw the system display appear again.
[Please touch the source. Absorb time will depend on how much energy is contained in the source]
Touch the source? He immediately looked at the fat man’s corpse and tried to touch it.
[Begin Absorbing…. | Time left: 55 sec]
Slowly he felt the unique energy inside his body increasing little by little. He also saw an invisible thread connected between his body and the corpse of the fat man’s body.

So this only added 5% to the target energy.
Not bad, not bad. Finally, I’ve found the fastest way to increase my power.
Desmond was very happy right now. For three years, he had been researching the fastest way to get stronger, “but this was not the right time to celebrate.”
His gaze returned to seriousness, and his killing aura came out; it was even more vigorous after absorbing the human energy.
“System, scan the entire area’s outer city and use my energy to match Alice’s energy.”

As Desmond walked out of the shop, he saw his bodyguards coming towards him.
“We’re glad young master is okay, please don’t do that again to us,” said the captain of the bodyguard as he looked behind Desmond, “Where is the young miss?”
Desmond didn’t look the guard captain in the eyes; he just walked forward while replying, “Alice is missing, split the team in two, one follow me, and the rest take care of this shop.”
The captain was shocked and started to panic again; his feeling was mixed between being shocked by Alice’s missing and confused by Desmond’s order to clean the shop.
When the captain wanted to ask for more details, one of the guards checking the shop shouted, “Captain, we found a dead body.”
In an instant, the captain understood his master’s order. At first, he couldn’t believe a child could kill a man, but when he looked at his master’s expression, neither panicked nor afraid, he confirmed that his master was abnormal.
“Shh, clean the area and give false reports to the patrol guard,” the captain answered while covering the guard’s mouth; he also gave him a money bag.
Desmond was silent while he waited for things about this shop to be sorted out. After they finished talking, Desmond said, “Follow me.”
He rushed up to the place where the system showed Alice’s last location.
