13 Chapter 13: Two new abilities

Several hours later, a young boy, around the age of eighteen to nineteen, wearing a white shirt and black pants clothes could be seen sitting inside a luxurious, high-end car that was heading towards the lower district of Stronghold 69. He had managed to escape the grasp of a beautiful woman with a matchless figure somehow.

Currently, John was driving him back to his home otherwise, he would have been stopped at the inspection point and get taken in for investigation by the monitoring department.

'Regretfully, I did not receive even a hint of reward for helping her kill a rank-10 shape-shifter.' Marvin internally sighed in disappointment. How hard was it to kill a rank-10 demon, everyone knows yet he did help someone in killing one and even lost consciousness due to pain but received nothing.

Normally, any person who helps in the killing of a demon will be rewarded handsomely but it seems like Abigail forgot; however, Marvin believed that the mesmerizing scenery of witnessing her in her birthday suit might very well be the reward he was given.

He was right on the mark but not entirely as a reward has been prepared for him but not handed over till now. He just needed to be patient and he will get it, soon.

The luxurious car passed through the streets as Marvin led the driver to the supermarket some block away from his home. Being cautious was his nature, hence he did not lead them directly to his home. Marvin was certain that many problems could arise if some people saw a luxurious car dropping his home, hence he asked them to drop on an alley nearby the convenience store.

The luxurious car driver followed his order as if they were the order of his miss. John was warned by Abigail to treat Marvin with the same respect he holds for her. Soon after, they reached their destination–a big alleyway with no signs of life.

Marvin said his farewells, ready to get off.

"This is for you. Miss asked me to give it to for helping her take down the skin-shifter."

Before he could get off, John stopped me and handed over a white envelope with a heart seal. Marvin accepted it gradually but when his hand touched the envelope, he immediately realized what the content inside was.

They were freaking federation dollars bill!

He got out of the car and John drove off, going to the upper-district to talk with Abigail's father.

John drove off, leaving Marvin all alone. He instantly opened the envelope and checked the content inside.

"One! Two! Five! Holy Molly, there are ten 1000 dollar federation bills!"

Marvin has been rewarded with 10000 dollars!

Instantly, he gazed left and right to check if someone was nearby while hiding all the money carefully in his underwear pockets, leaving only one bill in his hand, which was stored in the chest pockets.

"With so much money, it seems wrong to return home empty-handed. I should buy a lot of meat and some stuff Angelia and mom like!" Marvin thought with a smile while walking towards the store.

‹Quest Rewards: 10 XP, Inspect skill›

A quest notification popped up causing Marvin's smile to stretch from ear to ear. 'It's been so long since I have felt so much happiness,' he thought while stretching the supermarket.

Instantly, many eyes were attracted to him.

"Who is this handsome lad?"

"How would I know? I have never seen him in this area."

"Maybe he is a new arrival? He really is a hottie!"

Some school girls gossiped while staring at Marvin, who was wearing high-quality clothes. Also, his hairs weren't in a messy state but affixed under the hands of a professional hairdresser.

Marvin wasn't ugly just poor.

He ignored these small talks, wandering about he picked up some fresh meat from different animals. Right after, he went to a stand filled with chocolate. Picking up three big packs of panda bellied choco biscuit for his sister, he went ahead and picked up pads for mom.

Finalizing the purchase with the help of a 1000$ dollar bill, he stepped out of the supermarket with 700$ returned to him. Right then, a system notification popped up in his vision,

"Isn't this an ability belonging to people who have awakened a healing type ability? What's going on..." Marvin thought while stepping into his home after unlocking the door.
