[ ~ Chapter • Start ~ ]
A slick brown haired man leaned backwards on his chair, seemingly on deep thought. Until he leaned forwards and smirked.
The maid that observed his actions looked as if she was expecting something good, something that is by all means necessary.
"Now that I have heard about it, why is there another tax payer on my lawn. It hasn't even been a week and one's already here!" He complained, annoyed at the current state of events.
"Eh, anyways, just let him in." He gestured.
Just after he did, the doors to this room opened, revealing a tall man approaching him with a greedy grin, looking around the room as if he owns this place. He had wore a fur coat without a shirt below, showing his naked torso. Even wearing an actually enchanted pants for a certain reason.
How irritating.
A small group people also followed him, all equipped with weapons and all of them wore magically enchanted pieces of armor. All stolen.
"So, Malphas Strangeman, was it? You gotta pay us 10 Million Luta, or else we'll make an example of you!"
".... That all, Hansen? How pathetic, you could have just made me pay 100 Million, or even a billion." Malphas spoke out nonchalantly, crossing his legs and arms while just shaking his head with a grin present on his face.
Hansen gritted his teeth, prepared to command his men.
'... You...! You've been a thorn to Friedhoff, Strangeman! Gah! Irritating a max level person like me, just completely stupid!' Hansen thought whilst approaching Malphas.
"Look, you don't want to do this." The President of MS Enterprise said, not once worried about himself, rather, he's worried about Hansen.
"Oh, of course I wanted to do this! Men! Start raiding this place!" Hansen shouted, not caring about the consequences that he would be forced with, thinking that he could just get out easily.
Before his men could cheer and start raiding this place like intended, Malphas had frowned.
"..... Do it."
The moment he said that, several gunshots were heard inside the place, and several men were killed with blood splattering the carpet of the room.
Hansen turned around, and saw that nearly half of his men were killed by a few figures that came out behind the pillars.
Enraged, he commanded his men to do their best to kill those figures, and then....
"I warned you, Hansen. Now, as this is your last offence to me and my workplace, I do think that a big price needs to be paid by you."
Malphas said, suddenly moving behind Friedhoff's leader.
Reacting quickly, he threw a quick elbow attack towards Malphas, who casually stepped backwards to dodge it.
Using his hands, Malphas had casually swatted away, blocked, or dodge each attack from Hansen without much difficulty, making him more frustrated and angry more and more as the time passes.
Until, Malphas grabbed Hansen's head and proceeded to slam him on the ground, but the leader of Friedhoff stopped himself from being face planted by the use of magic by activating an artifact on his ring that allowed him to teleport away from Malphas.
"Tch. I need to get serious." Hansen muttered, before looking back to see a battle already happening between his men and beastmen in elegant, yet sturdy clothing with little armor. The maid was also gone, for some reason.
He immediately looked towards Malphas and evaded a few blows towards his leg and body, all while activating his artifacts that strengthen his body through its limits.
Hansen then immediately got the upper hand, yet he had to do this for only three minutes and nothing more.
The world, and everyone slowed down for him, yet for some reason, Malphas did not slow down, only starting to equal him quickly.
Seeing an opening, Hansen quickly took the chance, only to be hit with a powerful fist to the gut as he was sent flying out of the building that Malphas resided, and then he crashed through several buildings.
The leader of Friedhoff immediately jumped out of the rubble that was surrounding him, feeling his wounds heal from activating another artifact he has.
The people that were just casually walking around and doing what they want immediately fled at the sight of the most infamous criminal known as Hansen, while some hid and tried to see what was about to happen.
He glanced up, and then immediately dodged a dropkick that made a large, webbed crater on the ground, which also blew him away a few feet apart.
"Malphas!!! You've forced me to use a forbidden drug, damn it!"
While Malphas looked at him nonchalantly, Hansen took out a capsule and showed it off towards him, grinning evilly.
"This forbidden drug turns me into a Mana Beast when I consume it, not just that, but it also increases my stats by ten!" He shouted, laughing like a madman.
Hansen then consumed the drug.
