CHAPTER 6
John and they ate the food and left after some time. They went to watch the movies and they were interested in watching a romantic movie. John found the simple truth. Modern women are nothing more than a hassle and has to be kept at a distance.
The five of them went to a hotel and John looked at the tasty food. John had looked down on the food and had not tried it but the food was indeed tasty. He kept ordering the food and kept eating the food. Even the costly crabs were eaten in numbers. Erica and others thought that he was eating to take advantage of them and decided not to talk. John did not care much and had some talk with them. While they were leaving, John paid all the money for all of them. They were surprised and had some good senses about him.
The five of them went on their own way. The four of them decided to let John be their friend as John was too innocent, although he was too arrogant. They liked someone like that and they were confused about it. They hated the ones among their social circle who acted arrogant but that was the reason they like John. How can the humble king stay with the beggar? Kings, arrogant and humble, stay with the kings.
John walked to the roadside and did not have to wait for much period of time before Luke came. John got inside the wonderful car. The car was luxurious as the four of them decided that John was worthy to be their friend. John sat at the side and the car started moving. Luke smiled and said, "My father is waiting for you."
John asked," Is it some kind of culture of your family to have such action."
Luke said, "You are the one who asked for the fight."
John said, "Is your method something like absorbing some kind of energy from the air."
Luke said, "No. In terms of the fantasy novels you have read, it is pure physical method."
John said, "That would be interesting. The fighting style should be interesting to see."
They did not talk much and waited for a long period of time before he reached the place. The big mansion was interesting to see. He could see the bigger garden and he walked alongside Luke. He saw William, the father of Luke and also saw his mother, Mia. John smiled and greeted them and he was interested to see that William was in a combat uniform. There was an unwritten rule in the martial arts world that no matter who, the challengers had to be defeated. Rook looked at John as he thought that he was someone who just wanted to waste the time of his family and wanted to take advantage of the rules.
Rook looked at John and asked, "Why have you not bought something? Has not your parents taught you the manners?"
John thought about it. It seems that he had indeed forget about it. He would always get something when others came to him and he would give something in return. John thought about it and found that gold was one of the most valuable items. He created a golden sword and gave it to Mia. Mia was dumbfounded by the magic and took the sword into her hand. The sword fell down as she could not hold it. Rook took the sword and observed it. The sword was pure gold and even it was a trick, it was not something that could be bought out easily.
Rook asked, "Can you do the magic again?"
John found that they could not believe the existence of his powers. He did the most logical thing; he raised his hands and all the metal things rose to the sky. He let the items dance around and then return. He smiled to Rook and Rook smiled back. John was not something that he could fight against. Wiliam looked at John and asked, "What is your limit weight?"
John said, "For metals I have not come to a limit. For my body I should be able to take more than three hundred thousand kilograms."
He had only practiced for a few months and was able to reach this stage. They could not believe it and took them to the underground area. John showed them by lifting the ten-thousand-kilogram things with a single hand. Seeing that they thought that he might have used metal control, he used his power to show off by taking other kind of things.
John returned and sat inside the room. He kept reading the methods. John found that the methods were not interesting and was time consuming. John looked at Rook and asked, as he was the one who practiced it the most, "Is there some better methods. Is there something that can be practiced faster by the common people."
Rook said, "This is the only thing we have."
John said, "Take this drink. It is pure energy. There are different kinds of energy. This is metal energy and the people who use this energy to refine their body will have stronger and resilient body. The body will be strong as metal and will be able to take on more loads and will be inclined to more defense. The body will also be able to resist against poison and external things. I want you to take it. Let me see if you can break through the master realm."
Rook took the big bottle that had the energy liquid. He looked a John. John thought for a moment and told, "Each ml has the energy equivalent to a complete human body. This is a 2-liter bottle. You can take as much as you want. I should say that after you cultivate this energy, you may not be able to use other energy."
Rook decided to use. Where has he seen the energy liquid? He had lived for 67 years and never has he seen such a thing. He has heard such thing but only those were myths. He drank it and started performing the exercise. John made the materials of his exercise heavier and let it have some more strain on the body. John looked at him and smiled. The old man kept drinking the energy. He could drink too much as his cells might be destroyed to overflowing energy. He could only fight and keep fighting to become strong. His friends had broken through to master level and he should too. After drinking half a liter and exercising for 10 hours he stopped. The family was interested and checked the data of the old man. He looked younger than his son as his face had become smoother. The skin had become more metallic.
Rook was able to take on three thousand kilograms of items with both hands. He was able to bear nearly twelve thousand kilograms of weight and still be happy. His body was stronger and was able to take on more impact. He had become a man of steel.
Rook and the family bowed down to John and John did not care much. They were going to eat food as the food was not eaten due to seeing the method. The method was useful as it used the whole potential of the body. The metallic energy was made to make the body stronger and without any other effect and with the exercise, the body would become stronger. John did not like such time-consuming heavy exercise as his body would become strong on its own while absorbing the energy.
John kept eating the food and the servants kept bringing the food. John ate the vegetable dishes and said to Mia, "I prefer meat. Fishes can also do."
Luke asked, "I thought that you like meat."
John said, "the shopkeepers keep looking at me when I eat the tasty food. I don't like cooking complex food. The idea of fishing was good as I could eat a lot. I prefer meat above all."
William laughed and said, "Get more meat dishes. We will be getting more meat dishes for you sir. Is there something else you would like."
John said, "Alcohol."
William asked, "What about the rest of the energy drink?"
John said, "You can keep it."
Mia asked, "What does your parents do?"
John said, "Dead, all dead." John was sad thinking about his mother. He did not like her at the beginning as she was not able to learn the things he taught and was a little dumb. But he still loved her. He could see through the world and there was no soul for her otherwise he could go the death realm and get her back with his power. The sad fact was that she really died.
Mia said to comfort him, "Sorry about that."
John said, "Does not matter? Your body is strong enough to fight against a grandmaster as you can take on their attacks. You can even stand against explosions."
Rook said, "That is a good thing. Why do you want better exercise?"
John said, "For learning. I like all kinds of knowledge. I can send some energy liquid for the knowledge."
William asked, "Do you need some money? We have plenty of money."
John looked at his bank account and said, "I have a few billion rubbles. That is more than enough to stay alive."
Rook said, "Are you from some kind of family?"
John said, "All these are the money I made within the last few months. There are many methods to make some money."
Rook said, "That is good. I will take you to my friends who are masters. They can help you get some methods."
John said, "You can easily defeat them and I can defeat them. You can try to get the methods yourself. As long as you get me some methods, I can give you some more energy liquid. You may live without energy liquid and can maintain the combat effectiveness by eating food as the physical strength will be maintained by the food, but you can only rise further with energy liquid. There are no further exercises and you cannot rise without this liquid. If you need more energy, you can come in exchange for other things."
Rook said, "That is okay."
William asked, "Would you like to buy some shares of our company?"
John asked, "Gregory medicals?"
William said, "Yes. We can have some diluted shares given to you. Three billion should be able to get you five percent shares."
John took his metal phone and read the information. The shares were worth 4.8 billion and also that would stay on the top for more than 100 years unless he targets them. He smiled and said, "Sure. I will take on the offer."
All of them smiled as they had become more than friends. They had become business partners. John looked at him and said, "Please send my photo to the employees and to the people of the social circle. I have no interest in having to face slap the youngsters as shown in the novels I have read. It is too boring."
Rook laughed and said, "That is indeed a good thing. The ants should stay away."
John said, "That is true. Ants should stay away."
