...

Looking at the ten times increase in his earnings, he was surprised that the upgrade was not as simple as adding one and one together.

It was a great leap forward, "With this, earning more money in the future will be much easier than I thought," he said to himself.

As he sat on the seat, a knock came from his door. With his heightened senses, it felt as though he could clearly picture the person standing behind it.

Her movements, her height, he could perceive everything just by using his hearing.

It was like having a partial x-ray vision, but through sound alone.

However, he could not see the real thing. Instead, he could only imagine her position and the way she was moving.

When he opened the door, the person standing there was none other than Jessica herself.

As the door swung open, she was about to barge in as usual, but she suddenly stopped and glanced at him.

Being stared at so intently made him feel very uncomfortable.

As the awkwardness grew, Jessica looked at him with a confused expression and asked.

"Are you Jeff?"

Hearing such a ridiculous question, he didn’t know how to react.

After a brief pause, he replied, "Which part of me doesn’t make me, me?" he said with a hint of amusement.

Hearing the obvious question, Jessica couldn’t take her eyes off him.

She felt that his change was so clear that even at a single glance, she could easily notice it.

It wasn’t his appearance that had changed, but his mentality.

The person standing before her seemed completely different. He looked more mature, and the aura he gave off felt far superior, even compared to those from wealthy families.

"Hmph, everything," she said, puffing up her cheeks before walking inside as usual.

Seeing her barge in like usual made him feel irritated. It seemed she didn’t treat him like a man at all.

The craziest part was when she jumped onto his bed, she rolled around on it as if it were her own.

Letting out a deep sigh, he decided to just let her be.

Wanting to get some fresh air, he walked to the nearest window and opened it.

From there, the road around the area could be seen. It was already nine, and as he admired the view of the full moon shining in the sky, he suddenly felt his senses begin to tingle.

"Hey Jeff, have you eaten yet? Do you want to go out and eat?" she asked after noticing that the rice cooker hadn’t been touched.

When she got no reply, she turned to look at him.

From where she stood, she could see that he was staring outside the window, his face carrying a serious expression.

Seeing that he was so serious while looking at moon made her laugh, clearly not sensing anything unusual, so she asked again,

"Hello, can you hear me? I said, do you want to eat outside and—" she stopped mid-sentence as he raised a finger, signaling her to stay quiet for a moment.

Jeff, who was gazing at the moon, had his hearing extended to about five hundred meters.

Around three hundred meters away, inside a broken-down house, there was a man using binoculars watching him.

Jeff didn’t look in that direction to avoid being noticed.

From what he could hear, the man seemed to be speaking into a device, and the voice coming from it belonged to another man.

His calm expression suddenly changed as his eyes flared with intensity after overhearing their true purpose.

"The information appears to be true. The kid lives here with his aunt in name, and the girl you mentioned is here as well. Should we go ahead with the plan and kidnap them?" the man with the binoculars asked.

"Do not engage with that kid, haven’t we talked about this? He is strong from what Bernard had said, and he is a warrior. You know how dangerous they are, right?" the man on the call replied.

Hearing the identity of the person who assigned the mission from this people right now made his anger boil.

but he kept a poker face so they would not notice anything.

"Bernard? It is actually him. After letting him go, he really dared to plot against me? Am I really that young and naive back then?" he asked, his body trembling as if every cell was shaking.

He had been foolish and had not finished the job.

After all from what he endured in the white room, he finally understood what true despair felt like.

He knows the feeling of dying since he had died too many times that he had lost count.

So to avoid dying in real life he needs to act first and of course, he knew he could not afford to be softhearted toward his enemies.

Yet he could not bring himself to kill. This conflict left him torn and struggling inwardly over what to do next.

But at the end of this contemplation, he will let his mood decides this later on.

"I know, big brother. It’s just hard to believe that a kid who hasn’t even reached his twenties already becoming a strong warrior."

"If he were from a rich family, I might understand, but he’s not. Bernard used to be a mercenary, yet he was no match for him. This boy must have reached a very high level in his training," the man with the binoculars said.

Back in the room, Jeff’s eyes narrowed as he gazed at the moon.

"A warrior? What’s that supposed to mean? If I remember correctly, that guy Bernard mentioned the word ’warrior’ as well. And now they’re saying I’m one of them?" he muttered, his mind filled with questions.

It seemed that in this world, there were actually other people like him.

Jessica, who had been silent and ignored for quite some time, grew irritated.

She stood up, walked toward him by the window as she spoke loudly.

"Hey, can you stop ignoring me and—" she couldn’t finish her words because he suddenly pulled her close and covered her mouth.

Jessica gasped in surprise. She was so close to him that their bodies were almost pressed together, and his hand covering her mouth made her face flush with embarrassment.

The way he held her was unexpectedly intimate, cause his arm brushing firmly against her chest as he tried to keep her quiet.

Her heartbeat quickened, and she felt as if something was about to happen.

Not knowing how to react to his sudden action, she could only close her eyes, totally uncertain of what to do.

Jeff, unaware of what Jessica was thinking, had no such intentions.

He only did this because it had become difficult for him to control his heightened hearing since there are too many sounds were entering his ears at once.

With her being so close, it was even harder for him to focus on the distant noises.

He had just reached the third level and still needed time to adjust, so the only thing he could do for now was keep her quiet while he listened carefully.

"What the!" the man with the binoculars growled angrily.

The man on the other end of the call, thinking something had gone wrong shouted.

"What? What happened? Have you been discovered?"

"No, big brother. That kid... that kid is actually being lovey-dovey with one of the targets," the man replied, his eyes red with anger.

"Huh? Are you serious? I thought something had happened to you," the man on the call said, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Of course something happened to me. It is my heart, it feels like it is being crushed. That girl is mine and he dared to touch her? After we take them hostage I will cut off both his hands and feed them to the fish," he said, his eyes were radiating killing intent.

The man on the other end of the phone was momentarily speechless. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Your lustful nature is off the charts. Remember, we cannot touch the girl, Bernard insisted they be kept clean until delivery. If the goods are ruined, we will not get paid," he reminded him.

"You do know that with the money and his connections we can leave this country and start over, right? So control yourself and do not touch the goods. You can do whatever you want to that boy after this is all over. Now that your part is done, go back to headquarters and meet up with our brothers first, I am still handling something here," the man said before ending the call.

After getting the command he set the binoculars down, gathered his things, and began to move out.

Hearing that he was preparing to leave, Jeff felt the same urge to move.

But remembering that Jessica was actually here, he could not let her follow him to a heist since it is very dangerous.

If not follow him she might end up telling Aunt Rose and get him grounded for his safety.
