Face-Slapping System

Roland checked one room after the other to no avail.

He realized that searching for that person had proven harder than he initially thought it would.

One also had no news over his side as well, only Two and Three were having their fun as they found ways to stop all of the crew from leaving.

As time went by, one of them finally noticed that something was amiss.

A man holding a 45 caliber realized that a lot of their men were currently missing. As mercenaries, they valued time more than anything else. A minute wasted could also mean a customer wasted for them.

He pointed and counted the total that were now in the spacious area in front of the huge mansion.

"Twenty, twenty one, twenty two…" the man frowned after realizing that there were only twenty two people around.

"Where are the others? It's already getting late, the leader is about to arrive in a minute or two. Call them now or receive punishment later," he said strictly with a scoff.

In this mansion there were a total of fifty men including some menial workers that numbered less than a dozen. Aside from the men here, they also have other locations where the other members resided and were just awaiting orders.

From this alone as well as the fact that each of them were holding guns, one could already tell that their power level was at least a few times higher than the Scar-face gang in Brine City.

This was pretty normal as the Scar-face gang were just a band of normal people who relied on Scar-face fame to create trouble at the Brine Dock Site.

Here on the other hand, was formed by a mercenary and was united to a common goal of accomplishing their tasks in exchange for money. And besides, Razor was a cultivator and was said to be an ex-bodyguard of an influential figure in Fore City, if he banded some normal plebs with no capabilities, it would be too disappointing.

This mansion was their main base of operation as Razor, the leader of the whole mercenary group resided and lived here.

When the other members heard the man saying punishment, they immediately shivered in fright, thinking of the time when one of them was punished by Razor for misbehaving.

Five of them immediately responded and hurriedly searched for the missing members.

In the dark, Two and Three nodded at each other and reported everything to Roland.

Earlier, as Roland and One had still not found Razor yet, they came to a decision to make Two and Three create a ruckus so that everyone would gather and be in one place.

Two and Three were just about to create a loud commotion when that member noticed the anomaly, saving them a lot of time and effort.

Roland and One slowly retreated and went to meet with Two and Three outside the mansion.

After they met with each other, they waited for the eventual panic that would ensure a moment later.

"Emergency! Emergency! Our wheels have been damaged. None of our vehicles can be used now!" A man shouted in panic as he ran around and informed everyone of the situation of their vehicles.

When the others heard it, they thought that he was joking at first. However, when they arrived to inspect the vehicle themselves, they realized that all of them were truly out of air and were all lying flat.

One of the more observant members noticed the hole on each of the tires and immediately shouted, "Enemy! Enemy! We have been invaded by an enemy!"

As his voice echoed in the surroundings, those who heard immediately went alert as they pulled out their guns respectively.

With the commotion going on, Roland and the others only need to wait for Razor to come out.

The members retreated from the parking area in a vigilant manner as they came in front of the mansion again.

A moment later multiple people also rushed out of the mansion, their eyes vigilant on their surroundings.

One, who was standing behind Roland, had his eyes lighting up for a moment as he finally saw cultivators aura around the crowd.

He secretly communicated with Roland and told him his findings.

'There's ten of them in total?' Roland looked at the group of mercenaries in disbelief, thinking that he might have underestimated this mercenary group.

He thought that they only needed to watch out for the gun and Razor, but it turns out there were also other formidable opponents here aside from Razor himself.

'How's their level of strength?' Roland asked One telepathically.

He thought that they might still have a chance if their power levels were not that strong.

A moment later, One shook his head, 'Nine of them are strange. But the one in the middle is strong. As strong as you at least!'

One elaborated further and explained the nine people had a strange flickering aura around them.

The method used by One determined whether the enemy was through his own perception of danger that was heightened even more compared to Roland.

He gauge their powers by the level of threat they were emitting according to his perception.

The reason why he said that the nine of them were strange was because of the fact that their danger levels were flickering like a candle that was about to die. Sometimes their danger level was there, sometimes, it would disappear and then reappear again like smoke.

​ Hearing that, Roland nodded his head thoughtfully.

'As expected of cultivators, they are truly bizarre,' he thought to himself.

'For now, if their danger levels were present, how strong would they be?' he asked One.

One did not even hesitate answered immediately, 'Weaker than Four and the other.'
