Chapter 378 - One punch (1/2)

At first, the young man wanted to shout back and retort as the anger seemed to be bubbling up inside him. Who would dare to come and interpret him in the middle of his conquest for a beautiful girl? Not only that but the man had also placed a single gold coin. There were plenty of items in the shop that was better than the one they were going for and would be worth the amount the man was willing to spend.

However, as soon as the young man looked up at Jack. He bit his tongue, holding his words back. The person in front of him was a muscle-bound young lad probably not too far from his own age. When inspecting Jack closer, he had noticed that Jack didn't look like a wealthy merchant or adventurer.

These two types were the most common in the town of Zrey. Other than that it would be high ranking officials that were from the kingdoms or empire. With no weapons on him, and no fancy clothes, the young man didn't know where to place Jack.

'He must have stolen the money.' The man thought. Still, it was more reason for him not to get involved personally. If the two were to get into a fight, it was clear who would win. Luckily for him though he had hired a little help along the way.

”Rocky!” The young man shouted inside the shop. From out of the back near one of the cabinets, a fairly large man slightly bigger than Jack himself came forward and stood by the young man's side.

Rocky had a large scar going across his face and also wielded a large sword on his back. He looked like a veteran adventurer, and his tag that was out on display showed that. He was a Rank C adventurer.

”Are you prepared to take back your offer?” the young man said.

The shopkeeper was now shaking slightly, worried for what might happen in his store, while a small crowd of people had now gathered around to see what was the whole commotion was about.

”Will uncle Jack be okay?” Claire asked. ”He can't transform into his werewolf form in front of all these people, and he doesn't know how to partly transform either.:”

The kids and teens knew from their own experience that they were actually quite weak when it came to fighting without the use of transforming. It was why the first thing they had learnt was to partly transform. As long as they were wearing thick clothing, it would be able to cover up the smaller details and allow them to fight at an inhuman level.

Although they knew Jack's body was strong from the training. That was only a basic tier weapon that had been used. In front of them, they could tell the man was strong, and his weapon was of higher quality. They were sure that if Jack was to get into a fight with the man without having to transform, he probably would lose.

”I don't think Jack's that stupid, he knows it's not worth it getting into a fight over just a necklace.” Zinc replied.

Before saying anything else, Jack looked at the shopkeeper.

”Send the bill to the Dem family mansion. Tell them it's Jack. They will understand.”

Jack lept from where he was standing towards Rocky, but he had anticipated this moving, the young man behind him and drawing out his weapon from his back. He swung down his sword, and at the same time, Jack lifted his hand.

Some of the audience members squirmed, while others couldn't keep their eyes of what was about to happen.

'I've never seen someone's arm get chopped off before.” One of them said

As the blade came down and made contact with Jack's arm, a loud clang was heard as if it was hitting against metal. Using his strength, he pushed the sword away, causing it to fall and crash into one of the cabinets by their side.

Rocky was now off-balance from the weight of his sword and the powerful force Jack had used to move his sword away. Another fist was coming towards his stomach but Rocky wasn't afraid for he had a beast chest plate on. If it was a weapon, he would have been worried but not a bare fist.
