Chapter 396: Be grateful!
"I don't know who you are, but I will advise you get your hands off now." Jake said turning around while the reporters had their cameras rolling.
"Or what? What will you do? Do you know who I am?" The man asked in anger as he began nudging at Jake.
"Oh! Someone is about to kiss the ground." Peter commented with a smirk.
"Or you will have yourself to be blamed for what happens next." Jake said as his aura began spilling out with his blue eyes glowing brighter while the air suddenly felt thick and suffocating.
'What's this? Why am I suddenly feeling this way? What's with this strange aura pouring out of him?! No! I'm a respectable and very strong adventurer, I can't be scared of him.' the man thought as he glared back at Jake with his hands still rested on Jake's shoulders.
"Didn't I just say you should take your hands off?" Jake asked with a low threatening growl.
"And I asked or what? Do you know who I am?" The man asked.
"The famous double A ranked adventurer. Just a little under the leader's of the independent guilds." Alex said, walking over.
"So you know me. Then tell this fool to know his place!" The double A ranked adventurer said.
"How dare you?!" All members of the Fang hunters said at once as they prepared to lunge forward even without their weapons until Jake raised his hands stopping them.
"You are a double A ranked adventurer, correct?" Jake asked as he grabbed the man's hand which was on his shoulders and his blue eyes grew more intense while he squeezed tightly on the man's hand. "And I'm an X ranked adventurer!"
'X rank? Is he kidding me?' the man thought in his mind as the pain on his hands grew more intense while the cameras surrounding the place suddenly began shaking tremendously as even the glasses some people held with drinks inside began trembling.
'The X rank, only those at the level of the new big four has that rank. Is he saying he is part of the big four? Wait! Didn't someone new join the world table recently? The werewolf slayer. Is he the one?
Crap! There's no way to be sure as I didn't watch the news that day because I was out on another planet hunting so I don't know what the werewolf slayer looks like. What if he is not the one?' the man thought in fright as sweat began forming on his head but then he burst out laughing.
"Who am I kidding? You are a fake!" The man said as he unleashed his Qi to its full potential while countering the pressure on his hand and then he glared at Jake. "Not everyone can become an X rank adventurer just by saying so."
"Alex." Jake called out as he let the man's hand go but from his suit, the man pulled out a dagger. "The world isn't really doomed if something happens to a double A ranked adventurer right?"
"No! But it certainly will if something happens to a world leader." Alex replied with a smile.
"Again with the lies of being a world leader!" The man said as he exploded from his position strongly heading towards Jake with his dagger being coated with Qi.
"Then he certainly doesn't need his head anymore." Jake said as Qi was seen surrounding his hand taking the form of a sword while the man quickly swung his dagger forward towards Jake who used his Qi sword to block with shockwaves spreading around.
The drones and cameras all flew away crashing into the walls, the guests at the entrance or close to the scene had their hair blown up, even the glasses in their hands shattered spilling their contents.
But the adventurer felt his hands vibrate badly after clashing with Jake and then in the next second, he was seen flying into a wall hitting and cracking it badly.
"Ju… just from a block, he sent that double A ranked adventurer flying?! How come?" Someone close to the scene muttered.
"Is that what you saw? Look at my hands. My glass shattered." Someone commented.
"But has that adventurer being living under a rock this while? Doesn't he know that, that is the werewolf slayer?"
"I guess he is just tired of living so he decided to end his life by challenging a world leader." Someone else too added.
Slowly, the man that was sent flying was seen rising with blood dripping down his suit, his hand was a mangled mess but he gripped his dagger tighter with his other hand and walked over with a scowl on his face.
"Do you know, I have killed countless humans? Those higher than me in strength and power. Those in my path and those that opposes me. So it won't be any different if I kill you too." The man smirked.
"In all these things you mentioned, I didn't hear you say that you managed to kill a Beta werewolf, did I?" Jake asked as he just took a single step but then suddenly appeared in front of the man who was at least four metres away from him.
"But I did." Jake smirked as he began condescending his Qi around his sword when…
"Enough!" A booming voice rang out with the whole building shaking tremendously. Hearing the voice, everybody froze and so did Jake who turned around to see a huge man with fiery red hair walking over with a crimson blazer resting on his ton body.
"Tha… that's Rex Slade." Someone from the crowd said.
"One of the big four, Rex." The adventurer muttered in fear.
"Werewolf slayer, must you always cause a scene wherever you go?" Rex asked.
"Tsk!" Jake scoffed straightening his blazer and walking away.
'He…did Rex just call the man the werewolf slayer? Di… did I just mess with a world leader?! Crap!' the man thought with his whole body suddenly drenched in sweat.
"Be grateful he came." Jake whispered towards the man and then walked away leaving Rex at the entrance with the others.
