Fighting Level 2!

Boom! 

An explosion suddenly sounded inside the mall, frightening all of the people inside. 

"Ahhh!!"

"Kyahh!

"Help!"

"What is happening?!"

All kinds of panic voices could be heard all over the mall as chaos ensued. 

Jay and his family were also startled by the sudden explosion and ducked down. 

Ley held onto Jay tightly with a worried look on her face. 

After a few seconds, Jay looked around to see if everyone around him was safe. 

After seeing that nothing seems to have happened to them, Jay breathed a sigh of relief. 

Then, Jay turned his eyes in the direction where the explosion happened.

It was in the same floor as they are in, which is the 4th floor, making it easy for Jay to see the source location.

The source of the explosion was actually from the electronic section on the 4th floor.

There, all kinds of phones and gadgets could be found. 

However, from where he is, Jay could vaguely see a few figures inside the electronics department. 

They are holding something in their hands and are pointing it to the people around, making them scream in fright. 

Squinting his eyes to see clearly, Jay's eyes widened. 

"Those people, they have guns!"

That's right. 

The thing those people are holding are none other than guns. 

And they are not just handguns, but real lethal rifles!

Jay's heart can't help but tremble.

As a normal human, you will inevitably feel fear if you are placed in this kind of situation. 

While some might start acting recklessly, Jay isn't someone like that. 

He is just like a normal person who feel fear in front of danger. 

Feeling that Jay is acting weird, Ley, who's holding on to him, shook his arms. 

"Jay, Jay, are you okay?"

Her words attracted the attention of Jay's family and they noticed that he's trembling. 

His father and mother hurriedly came closer to him with worried faces. 

"Son, what is happening to you?"

"Jay, say something!"

Hearing the voices around him, Jay suddenly snapped out of himself. 

"Ah!"

Clarity came back to Jay's eyes and he looked at his parents, his sister, and Ley surrounding him. 

Looking at their worried faces, Jay felt warm. 

But since there's still extreme danger right now, Jay doesn't have the time to act sentimental and all that. 

"Guys, we have to hurry up and leave the mall premises."

No one asked any questions and all of them nodded at his words. 

With Jay leading the group, they went to the backroom of the mall where the stairs are at. 

In this current situation, being seen by those people will pose great threats to their lives.

That is why, Jay decided to use the stairs as no one usually goes there. 

At this time, the chat in the livestream room is also at an all-time high. 

Everyone is asking questions about what's happening and why they are running. 

But Jay doesn't have the time to pay attention to any of that at the moment. 

Just as their group were running down the stairs, the sound of the door opening suddenly sounded from below. 

Then, fierce voices of some men followed.

"Go and look at every corner. Make sure that no one will escape the mall!"

"Everyone in this place will be our bargaining chip with the authorities later!"

With his words, countless footsteps sounded in the backroom. 

Some are heading down, while some are heading up where Jay and the others are.

Hearing the sound from below, Jay motioned for the others to stop and duck down. 

Signaling to them to stay quiet, Jay peeked at the stairs below.

Right now, Jay and the others are at the bend of the stairs, making them unnoticeable by those below. 

But once those people come up, it will be easy to see Jay and the others. 

And unfortunately, those people are indeed heading up right now. 

"Brother, what are we going to do?"

Jean moved close to Jay and asked in an extremely low voice.

Jay looked at her and can see that she's really scared at this time. 

She already heard the words of the people below. 

Because of that, Jean, their parents, and Ley are already aware of the current situation. 

So, it's not Jean who's afraid, everyone is. 

"Try to calm down first and stay still. I will do something about it, I promise."

Jay spoke in a low voice, trying to calm them down. 

Next, he turned his eyes back at the people below and saw that they were already heading up. 

Here in the backroom, there's a total of 5 terrorists. 

Two were heading down the stairs and two were heading up.

The last one is the one who's giving commands earlier who remained at the door on the third floor. 

Anyway, this means that Jay has to first face two terrorists then the nearest one after them is the leader. 

As for the other two, since they went down stairs, it will take a while before they get back. 

The problem now is that all those people are armed with guns! 

In this kind of circumstance, Jay can't take any rash moves. 

'Since I have the skill 'Fighting Level 1', I can still maintain my calm in this current situation.'

'However, from the looks of things, 'Fighting Level 1' won't be enough to take down these guys.'

While thinking of that, Jay's eyes were fixed on the guns on the hands of those people. 

'Fighting Level 2 should be enough to take them down.'

With that in mind, Jay quietly used his mind to allocate 1 experience point to 'Fighting'.

The next second, memories of him fighting and training his skill poured in inside Jay's mind. 

The muscles on his body made subtle changes that is not visible to the eye. 

[Your skill 'Fighting' has leveled up to level 2!]

At the sound of the Cube in his mind, Jay woke up. 

In his mind, it was as if a year has passed with him doing all sorts of things related to fighting.

But in reality, everything happened in just a second.
