Chapter 9: In search of experience part 4

-Well, this is the first floor. -When Alexander entered the second floor, he realized that it was undoubtedly the best floor of all.

-What are all these boxes, it smells like beer. -To satisfy his curiosity, Alexander looked at the crates, which were filled with golden Cloud Beers. This left Alexander open-mouthed.

-Wait a minute, the Golden Cloud Beer Company was the most popular in my old life, are you telling me that their popularity comes from doing business with the Black Foxes?

This was not strange to Alexander, for some strange reason the whole area sold these beers at an expensive price, which increased their value. -But worst of all….

Alexander picks up a bottle and reads the bottom, where it says that the beers are produced by the Smith family. That is, Eva Smith's family from her high school.

-Who knew the Smith family had shady dealings, Eva will go crazy if I spread this information hahaha.

Alexander took a video and several photos showing the beers in the Black Foxes' den, with this information he would put Eva in her place forever. (Ok, let's find Laura and finish the mission).

Laura was on the bottom floor, but Alexander couldn't find her until a room appeared in front of him, and when he opened the door, it led to a basement. -It must be here.

Alexander, confident that there should be no more enemies, enters the basement, which is completely decorated with purple and pink LED lights.

-I have to admit, for gang members, they have good taste. -After playing several pranks on the Black Foxes, Alexander's search comes to an end when he spots a girl tied to a chair in the distance.

-Laura!!!, are you okay? -Alexander approaches and unties the girl, who has been crying a lot alone in this room. -Calm down Laura, I've already defeated those sons of bitches, we'll be able to escape.

Alexander decides to remove the tape preventing Laura from speaking in order to listen to his gracious client. -Alex…? Alexander…? what are you doing here… You defeated everyone.

The young woman, nervous and excited to escape, surprises Alexander by remembering his name, which makes him very happy. -If I beat them all, we can get out of here.

Laura's face looks surprised at Alexander's answer. In her mind, she did not understand how he could defeat 4 gang members who were in this headquarters.

-Okay, let's go," after untying the girl, they both climbed the stairs back to the second floor, ready for their escape.

-I left a rope on the third floor, let's go up and escape from there, we just have to… ….

-Are they leaving already? -But to Laura and Alexander's surprise, a man sat down in the middle of the room and drank the beer they had made.

-No… Didn't you say you had defeated them? All of them? -Yes, I thought so, but don't worry, I can beat him? Please stay behind me.

Young Alexander, confident after his three victories today, prepares to fight.

[You are using the combat skill: Knockout Points]

[The enemy is too strong].

Alexander, who couldn't understand why he couldn't see the man's Kill Points, takes out his phone and decides to check it. But his expression immediately changes as he reads the message.

[Warning]-[The second floor boss is here.]

[Defeat the Minor Boss of the Black Fox Headquarters]

(Boss…? Boss…? Boss…? Boss?)

-Okay, I'm done, it's time to start. -The man stands up from his chair after finishing his beer and his full figure is revealed. He was a muscular man and he was full of cuts and wounds all over, no doubt this man was on Marcus's level.

-I knew I didn't have to leave my headquarters and go to the main one, time proved me right, I just went to take a nap for a few minutes and it turns out we have a spy here.

Alexander, paralyzed with fear, tells Laura to get as far away from them as possible and to go up to the third floor and escape. -You have to do it, Laura, run away.

(After all this mission is for her, it would be stupid for me to leave her here and die already once).

-No… I can't leave you here… -Laura tries to argue, but Alexander looks at her seriously, so she goes out the door with tears in her eyes.

-Hahaha, I didn't know spies had a sense of justice, you don't look like one of the golden bulls, are you one of the white wolves?

Alexander didn't pay attention to what the man was saying and decided to run after him, ready to hit him. -Come on old man, I just want to talk to you.

The man opens his arms as if to receive a hug from Alexander with a smile. Alexander takes advantage of this and decides to hit him in the stomach, thinking that it is his weak point, just like the last one.

[Critical Hit]

-Wow, you seem to be a good puncher. -But to young Alexander's surprise, this one didn't hurt him at all.

(The chin, I must hit the chin)

[Critical Hit]

Another full power punch from Alexander, this time to the man's jaw.

-Seriously, don't you want to talk? -But the man doesn't move and grabs Alexander with a smile.

-You know I hate people who throw punches…" The happy and friendly man's expression changed to that of a dark dictator king. -I like it better…

Without finishing his sentence, the man prepares himself by suplexing Alexander to the ground. -Wrestling.

[You have lost 40% of your maximum health]

(What? What, what, what, what's going on?) Alexander who was on the ground is completely stunned, his forehead is bleeding and he doesn't have the strength to move.

-Hahaha, you looked very brave in front of the girl. But you're just a son of a bitch who wanted to think he was a hero.

(It's true… if only I hadn't listened to that shitty system… if only I had died or just lived my normal life this time. But at least I saved a girl in this life).

Alexander stands up and assumes a fighting stance (If I'm going to die, I'd rather die a hero this time. So let's do it).

Wow, wow, looks like the kid's got some balls.

A second later, Alexander was running in the direction of the man who was preparing to grab him.

(There is a place that is the weak point of every man).

This time, Alexander crouches down and aims a low kick at the man's privates.

[Critical Hit]

-Son of a bitch!

The man recoils in pain and looks at Alexander with a murderous glare. -You are dead.

[The opponent has been weakened, you will be able to use skills you couldn't before]

[You will use the combat skill: Knockout Points].

(Knockout Points are back… I can do it, I can do it)

Full of adrenaline and confidence, Young Alexander is ready to finish this fight against the man who stands still.

-I admit you're smart, but… you're a rookie. -The man saw that Alexander was also running and decided to run in Alexander's direction, throwing his elbow in Alexander's direction. -You don't know how to fight!

Alexander completely ate the man's tackle, sending him flying.

[You have lost 85% of your maximum health.]

Hahaha, look at you now, this is your end. -The man approaches Alexander to finish him off, but the man takes a blow to the back of the head.

-What the hell? -As the man turns around in anger, he sees the silhouette of Laura, trembling with fear, holding a broomstick in her hands.

-Laura, Laura, Laura. -With a monster's face, the man holds Laura's hand and prepares to attack her.

-Do you know how much money we gave for you? -Alexander and Laura's faces are stunned, it seems Laura is not here by chance.

-Your reaction is nice, I will tell you later, but you were bad merchandise, I have to punish you. -The man raises his hands, ready to strike the girl.

[Critical Hit]

Alexander delivers another critical strike to the man's lower body, this time stronger than before because he had less health. Get him to let go of the girl.

-Let go of Laura. -Alexander grabs Laura's hand and uses the broomstick from before to throw it at the lights in the room, damaging them.

-Stay here. -Alexander and Laura hide behind a box while the man searches for them.

-Why didn't you run, Laura? -I couldn't leave you here, I couldn't….

Laura starts to cry when she sees Alexander's condition, he was all bloody, if this continued she couldn't win.

-If only you were stronger, I'm sure you could win Alexander, I am. -The girl dictated these words as tears fell from her eyes.

(Be stronger? That's it!!) -Hey Laura, I have a plan, but you have to trust me.

Alexander, with some hope, tells Laura his plan, ready to execute it.

-I have to admit that turning off the lights was a good idea, but there's only so many places they can go, right?

The man had gotten up after Alexander's low blow and was ready to finish him off once and for all. -If that's the way they want to play, let's play.

The man walks over to a spot and turns on some LED lights that flicker on and off in the room, -I can't see much with these lights, but it's just to make sure they can't get away.

The man was enjoying the classic game of cat and mouse, and his face showed it. -Come out, come out.

-I'm here! -The voice he hears in the room is that of Laura, standing in the middle of the room, trembling with fear.

-Hahaha, you're alone, don't tell me the fat guy left and left you here. -The man approaches Laura and grabs her with an evil expression.

-But you know, I'm not stupid. -He holds Laura as they smile. -Do you think I have no idea that he is hiding?

The man, ready to finish Laura, begins to squeeze her with all his strength.

-Let go of her! -Alexander shows his position and, with a threatening look and a bottle of beer in his hand, confronts the man who is determined to end the fight here.

-Hahaha, you think you can stab me and win? -Well, try me, I'll let him beat me.

Alexander wastes no time and approaches the man with tired arms, ready to deliver the final blow. -Come on, I'll take it. -The man in turn wants to prove to Alexander that he is nothing.

[Critical Hit]

A blow echoes through the room and the silhouette of the man falls in the room, bleeding all over his face.

[You have defeated the boss]

[You level up]

[You level up]

[You level up]

[You level up]

[You level up]

-What the hell was that? That was a big hit. -Laura, surprised, asks Alexander this question, he had told her to get the man's attention so he could rest, but… This was something too strong.

-No big deal, I just… I got stronger.

[Stats: Strength Rank D: 12 points, Intelligence Rank E: 5 points, Constitution Rank F-: 0 points, Speed Rank F: 3 points, Social Rank F: 2 points, Defense Rank F-: 1 point]

Alexander's strategy was simple, while Laura distracted the man, he decided to grab the stat dumbbell and increase his power points, it was painful, but it worked well.

[You have defeated a boss and cleared the dungeon, you will receive the reward…]

[Reward Obtained] - [Item: Upgrade Chip, Item: Wonder Donut, Combat Skill: Counter Strike, Skill: Quick Recovery, Class Mission]

(Wao, that's what I call a great reward).

Tired, Alexander is about to fall, but Laura stops him. -Easy, I'm here, let's go up.

After 10 minutes, both had climbed up to the third floor and then down the rope until they arrived in front of the headquarters.

-Okay, let's go… -Laura enthusiastically tried to say something to Alexander, but he grabbed her and hid with her behind a trash can.

-Shit… they're here.

-We're here, boss. -Getting out of a car, Alan and another man with a long black hood make their way to the entrance of the headquarters.
