Spy

"If you continue like this, you will just be a waste of my time." Jarvis removed his hand from brook's shoulder."I guess I will have to kill you as well, you know?" Jarvis eyes showed the cold, murderous intent that was formerly concealed.

"Bullshit!" Brook snapped, reaching inside his jacket and bringing out a knife, the silver blade gleamed menacingly under the dim lighting. "Let me see whether you can dodge this!" Brooks smile twisted into something almost deranged, as if he was enjoying the chaos

Jarvis face was still expressionless only through his eyes, and his voice could one sense the anger and killing intent within him. "Three men held three weapons against me, and I still won. What makes you think one weapon is enough?" He replied, his voice calm, cold, and steady seemed more unsettling to brook.

"Young Master isn't that too dangerous?" Sylvia interjected, concern written all over her face. "Already we have seen your skills, young master we believe it was you that took down the men."

"Yes, young master please stop this at once or I'll stop it myself" Marco words sent shivers down brook's spine

"No, knowing Marco, he would likely favour the young master and after all I've said it's impossible if he doesn't break a limb or two." As if cold water has been splashed on brook, he's seemingly deranged mindset suddenly came back to rationality.

"Nobody should interfere. Going against this order is the same as going against me, especially you, Marco" Jarvis stared at the three of them.

"But young master this is too reck–" Before Marco could finish his sentence, another voice interrupted him

"Let him be Marco, in his eyes he must think he's some kind of bigshot but in my eyes he hasn't proven anything apart from being the same impulsive, wayward, and willful brat he always was." The man with dreadlocks patted Marco's shoulder.

"People like him have to face one or two major setbacks in life, or it will be irreversible for him to grow conceited."

"But–" Marco was about to convince him before he was cut short

"No buts–, I joined this gang because of you, but if need be, I may just leave this group because of that young boy. Let him prove himself worthy of my time in this group before I can serve him." The man with dreadlocks interjected

Jarvis heard everything the man and merely smiled in amusement "Conceited you say? They must probably think of me as the predecessor," he said to himself, before returning his focus on Brook. "But continuing on like this would be stress full for me."

"I guess I shouldn't make the match linger, it's time I turn it into a one sided beating."

The tension in the room grew more intense as brook lunged again, the knife slashing through the air. But Jarvis was ready, his body moved effortlessly. He didn't even have to activate Adrenaline Surge.

"Didn't I tell you before that continuing like that will lead to your death." Jarvis said as he sidestepped another swing. "Brook for your sake, do something better than that," jarvis said with an incomprehensible smile on his face.

Brook's frustration with Jarvis grew stronger, his attacks growing more erratic and desperate, leaving a lot of loopholes to exploit but jarvis did not rush, rather he used brook as a training partner to get his evasion to lv 3"

"It's time" as soon as Jarvis said that he took a swift calculated step, closed the distance immediately, his outstretched hand struck two areas with pinpoint accuracy.

First was Brook's wrist and the other his chest. The knife clattered on the floor, and what followed was brook flying from the punch. Some teeth fell off of brook's mouth.

Multiple prompts appeared immediately

Jarvis slowly stepped forward, making his way towards brook. "Brook, you think you can just walk in here and disrespect me and my family? Jarvis growled, his voice a low rumble that resonated through the room. "You think you can slander my mum and get away with a mere beating?"

"Nah, uh, this is far from over." Jarvis sat on Brook's body he's arms raised high.

"Young master please, please, please, don't," Brook back broke down in cold sweat, he's instinct told him if that hand fell on him, he would either faint or die.

Two severe conditions that he will never want to experience

"Young Master is it not enough!" The man with dreadlocks shouted at Jarvis."He's already beaten half to death. How far will you go to be satisfied."

"Sylvia, Marco, won't you say something about this," he man with dreadlocks desperately said

"Know where you stand Yomi," Marco said in a deep voice "just now you were advising me to stop when brook pulled out his knife and allow the Young Master bear some brunt if not he'll be conceited,"

"Now you want me to put an end to the match just because brook is on the receiving end" The more Marco talked the angrier he got "Are you delusional?"

Jarvis merely smiled at the scene and said, "Yomi, didn't you also slander me?"

"Sorry, Young Master please continue." Yomi said with tact, knowing what jarvis meant, afterall he wouldn't want to switch places with Brook.

"What if I don't want to continue" jarvis said

Those words sent shivers down Yomi's spine he quickly shuts up. He was weaker than brook and knew that he wouldn't be able to do anything if he were to switch places with Brook.

Jarvis saw this and only said one word "Good!" He's eyes turned back to brook. "So shall we begin."

Without looking at Brook's pleading eyes, he directly smashed down on his face, his expression unreadable. "You thought you could undermine me," with each word that left his mouth, a blow assaulted brook's body.

Jarvis ignored the prompts of the system but one caught his eye.

[You have successfully defeated Brook (lycon spy)]

Jarvis smiled and kept punching Brook's body. Silence permeated the whole area, but Jarvis was the first to break it. "Ever since that accident, I've learnt a thing or two, and I've changed."

"Am no longer the naive little young master anymore"

He looked up, meeting the eyes of Marco, Sylvia, and the others. "And do you know what else I've learnt?" He continued, his gaze sharp and knowing.

"Me being attacked by those men couldn't have been planned all alone."

Marco quickly said, "Young Master are saying someone fed information to them."

"Yes, and I know who did it too." Jarvis didn't immediately reveal who.
