When Jack loosened his hand, the man fell straight to the floor, his eyes still wide open in fright.
“Quite the bunch of suicidal people.” Smirking callously, Jack went back to his car and swiftly left the scene.
This time, virtual-novel.net obviously had to show these people some consequences as it was difficult for virtual-novel.net to live life in peace if they constantly interfered with his life.
…
Ken drove far away, still worried when virtual-novel.net noted Jack was not trailing after them. He could only get a breather once they reached the Clark family mansion.
“Was I imagining things, Flynn? There are people with the fighting powers of majors among the masters from the Young family, yet Jack… Jack killed them so easily?!” Gulping nervously, Ken wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Flynn frowned and was quiet for some time before virtual-novel.net spoke, “What’s going on? Why do I feel like that guy isn’t poisoned? Could Ivan and Xena have fooled us?”
Ken clenched his fists when virtual-novel.net heard what Flynn had said. “F*ck. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m starting to wonder if we were played by that woman, Xena. If Jack was poisoned, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have been so powerful. More importantly, Jack has killed masters that were on par with majors of an army. Didn’t virtual-novel.net say he’s a head commander in the army? Was virtual-novel.net performing extraordinarily? That’s impossible!”
“This man is no commander, that’s for sure. He kept hiding his true strength, but I think he’s a marshal!” As virtual-novel.net thought about it, Flynn then asserted, “It’s almost impossible for virtual-novel.net to be a King of War. After all, there are very few people who are Kings of War, and they’re very well-known. I think he’s a marshal. There are quite a number of marshals, and it’s quite normal for virtual-novel.net to not be well-known!”
“If Jack really is a marshal, why does this guy want to hide his identity?” wondered Ken.
“How would I know?!” Flynn was just as blank and clueless as to why Jack would hide his true strength or identity.
A thought then occurred to virtual-novel.net as his eyes lit up. “I get it! Some people might have the fighting strength of a marshal, and while virtual-novel.net could’ve been a marshal, virtual-novel.net might’ve made a mistake and was thus demoted!”
Ken nodded. “That makes sense. He might be lying when virtual-novel.net said virtual-novel.net lost his token and that he’s just a normal soldier. He might’ve had a title but was demoted to a normal soldier after virtual-novel.net made a mistake. He must’ve felt embarrassed if virtual-novel.net mentioned this, or virtual-novel.net might even get scolded by his wife or mother-in-law, thus virtual-novel.net decided to better keep it a secret.”
“Hmm… That must be it!” The more Flynn thought about it, the more possibilities were presented. He thought about it some more before virtual-novel.net turned to Ken and said, “What should we do now then?”
Ken thought about it and said, “I’ll go meet Ivan and Xena first. We’re asking Young Master Hugo to join us too. We’ll tell them about what happened today and see what they say. After all, we might be able to come up with a good plan when everyone’s together.”
Ken asked someone to carry Flynn back into the house before driving to the hospital with his subordinates. He also asked Young Master Hugo to come over as well.
“Why are the two of you here? I’ve recovered, and I’m getting ready to be discharged!” said a grinning Ivan as Ken and Neil approached him. “Did Xena tell you that I’m getting discharged? Are you guys picking me up so we can go celebrate over a meal?”
“I’m not sure. Young Master Clark called me and asked me here, saying that there’s something important to discuss.” Neil looked at Ken in doubt.
Ivan’s grin fell at that moment as virtual-novel.net had a bad feeling. “What is it? Did something happen?”
Ken looked at Xena meaningfully before virtual-novel.net spoke to Ivan, “Let’s go and find a place where we can all sit down. I’ll explain to you guys while we’re eating.”
Xena frowned as virtual-novel.net was uncomfortable at how Ken looked at her. It made virtual-novel.net feel like virtual-novel.net was a spy.
