Break

The thugs went excitedly to the gaming club. They really liked their job. Torment and beat people for money. It was just a dream come true. When you are doing such things with a backing of a big power. Nothing really can go wrong. Even if there will be a strong retaliation, they could always call for backup and hit back with even more force. There was no one that could contend with them until now and they did not think this day will ever come. The thugs arrived near the building and started to shout: "Basterds come out! There is a fee you need to pay! We came to collect it from you! If you don't open up, we will crush this building! Don't cry afterwards for your losses." One of the bandits shouted with a rehearsed manner. The thugs did not even wait for a response and tried to break into the club, but they could not do it no matter how hard they tried. "Open the doors!" Another thug shouted and started to hit the door stronger with his fists but it didn't help either. The unwanted newcomers were starting to get infuriated. "Raz, break this shit apart. You are the strongest among us. Just crush the door and we take it from there." One of the thugs said with a mix of rage and excitement. Because there was no answer from the inside the group thought that the buyers of this land were afraid and did not want to get out and confront them. Elena that was standing at the entrance of the church and Ammy that got back from the city administration were looking at the scene from afar. 'Those buyers are doomed' They thought. It was nighttime already and the shouts woke some of the children up, but the old lady and Elena could not really do anything about that. They did not want those guys to come over and start making trouble for them. Raz said with a wide grin: "Leave the door to me. After I break it, I also want to beat those guys up too." He was a tall man of 2m and also was a level one apprentice knight. He was sure that this door would break to smithereens. After getting his muscles warmed up for a couple of seconds, he swung his fist at the door with the strongest force he could master.

Soon a sound of breaking bones was heard with a horrified scream: "Ahh! My arm! My arm!"

Raz did not have the result he expected. Because he went all out his hand broke in three places. He could not do much harm to anyone for the next few months at least. The results of the clash surprised the thugs. The female duo from the church could also hear the cries of pain. Both the thugs and the female duo thought about the same thing: 'Is that door made from some special material?'

One of the thugs asked this question to the other participants out loud and one of them answered while examining the door: "It don't seem like it. It looks like wood. And even smell like wood."

"Well, we will just use weapons then. After we break in those bastards will pay for their crimes." Raz said, infuriated. The other thugs nodded their head in agreement. They were going to kick the shit out of those two despicable buyers so they will regret the day they were born.

The second strongest of the thugs after Raz took out his sword and said: "Step back! I will smash this door open now."

All the bandits got behind the man for a safe distance to not hinder him. The man swung his sword in a very practiced manner. He was out for a big surprise. The metal that struck the door broke apart after a strong "clang" sound was heard. The thugs did not expect this to happen at all. Now they understood why Raz broke his arm. Even a sword broke on impact. The man that swung it was very mad. Weapons were not cheap, and it will cost him a few dozen silver coins to buy a new one. He started to hit the door with the broken sword until the sword broke again. After it happened the thugs became silent. They understood that they could not break it. After some contemplation they started to throw rocks at the windows, but the windows did not break no matter how much they tried. After some time, the thugs got tired and sat down on the ground for a rest.

"I guess we just have to wait for the morning. The defense of this building is very high. When they get out, we will crush them. They will pay for what we had to go through." One of the bandits said with an enraged tone.

The thugs did not leave. They just stayed sleep for the night outside the gaming club. The night was pretty cold, so they suffered at night. When the old lady and Elena saw that the thugs could not get what they wanted and went to sleep they followed their example. This show will continue tomorrow.

At morning Max and Derek ate their breakfast meal not knowing what was happening outside at night. Max asked the system to make the building soundproof at night so no one could wake him from his sleep. If such things would happen those people could get destroyed by a pyroblast skill in the face. For such unfortunate things not to happen Max needed his peace of mind. He was assured of the defenses of the building. Only people one tier above him could really harm the gaming club. That meant that only high mages or grand knights could cause real harm. He was sure such people did not exist in this town. Maybe only in the Capital he could find a grand knight. He informed the system that it will alert him if someone at his level will attack the building. He should still be vary of people of his power level. In the shop and in proximity of 5 meters away from it he is one tier stronger then his real powers but if he will get out of the club's range, he will not be immune to a sneak attack. Also, Max succeeded in studying the lightning fall skill. He was surprised himself. Maybe the lighting element is easier to study. He was not sure. When he and Derek got out to breath some fresh air after breakfast, they heard a shout: "Come here you bastards!"

"Hmm?"
