Chapter 158 Back To Above The Peak

Livingstone looked at the colorless liquid in the small glass bottle with great amount of doubt. He could still remember how hopeless the doctors were the moment that they knew about his problem.r

He was someone who had visited several big hospitals. And, he had met with several big doctors who were well known in the country. He wasn't from a small family as the family that he came from could afford the expenses of the biggest hospital in the country.r

But, it was just that none of the doctors that saw him thought that they could treat him. Instead, they all shook their heads saying that it was impossible. Even with the level of technology at present, they couldn't do it.r

It was said that the contents of the bullet had somehow affected the cells in that area. Although they could replace those cells, the problem was that the new cells would also end up the same way that the previous ones were, in just a matter of days. The only solution they came up with was to amputate him.r

To him, he thought that it was better that he could walk rather than becoming a cripple that only had one leg.r

Since it could not be treated, Livingstone decided not to waste any more money. Since he joined the army due to passion of ensuring security, he might as well help those that were dealing with internal security.r

He decided to join the GVSL because of the way that they operated. He could be a trainer due to his seven years of experience. So, they easily accepted him.r

After all, although it was true that his leg muscles couldn't exert a lot of strength, that didn't mean that he couldn't walk normally. It was just that he couldn't run for a long time or try jumping for big heights. For a soldier, those were things that could be done on a daily basis.r

Now, he looked at the bottle that contained a very small amount of liquid. Jack was claiming that this thing could actually heal him?r

Tracy as well as Ayush looked at the small bottle curiously. They were wondering what was contained inside it.r

Seeing their curious expression, Jack spoke. "This is the solution that I have recently produced. It's called the body strengthening solution. It has the ability to strengthen the body. Those twenty have received it and have all had their physiques improved."r

Jack could see that they were doubtful of his words. So, he continued, "Of course there are no side effects in using it. All the ingredients that were used during the production are natural, no chemical was added. So, you can be rest assured that you won't suffer after taking it, you will only get benefits."r

Livingstone looked at the twenty that were now relaxing. They had been undergoing training under him not long ago and they were trying to rest before they continued.r

During the first day that he was supposed to train them, he found that the group was incredulously strong. Their physiques could actually match some of the best soldiers in the army.r

But, what had surprised him the most was the fact that, although they were strong, they had zero experience. This made him wonder if the human modification had succeeded and they were amongst the first batch to be modified.r



After all, their strength was too terrifying. He had already prepared a training program for them. But after he saw them, he had to make changes because that training program was only meant for the normal people. These guys were too abnormal.r





He looked at them again. It would be a lie to say that he had not envied their strength. Even at his peak, he couldn't do what they could. He was getting frustrated that he actually couldn't even heal his leg.r

But now, looking at the small liquid that actually made the group how they were, he took at deep breath as his eyes shone with determination and opened the cap before he drank the liquid. He simply thought that, if there was actually a chance that he could be healed, he would take it. It wasn't a must that he should be as strong as them. But as long as he could recover to his previous condition, that would be enough for him.r

A moment after he drank the liquid, he felt a warm current coursing through his body. And at the same time, he felt his body getting stronger by the moment.r

As for his right leg that was injured on the thigh, he felt the warm current going through that place and he could feel that it was no longer powerless. It had gone back to how it was before. And an instant later, it became even stronger.r

The taste of strength made him want to go back to the battlefield and continue slaughtering the enemies like he did back then. But, he managed to control himself, not to lose himself in the sweetness that came with the increase in strength.r

He looked at Jack and gave him a deep bow. "Receive my sincere thanks boss. I swear that from this moment on, I will follow your commands."r

Livingstone completely forgot about the condition that he had given before and swore his loyalty to Jack. Added to what Denali could detect, Jack felt that he had gotten a good subordinate.r

"Worry not about that. Be assured that I won't be asking you to do something that will be against your conscience." Jack stated with a smile.r

"Why don't you go ahead and try your strength? You should do something intense so that you can completely absorb the effects of the solution." Jack suggested.r

"Got it boss." Livingstone nodded and didn't wait for Jack to tell him a second time. He immediately rushed towards the twenty guys who were resting. He felt that he needed to do something that would tire him out.r

Klein and the others who were still relaxing on this rare moment that they didn't need to train were dumbfounded when they saw their instructor charging towards them.r

They had at first thought that there was something urgent that he needed to do on the other side of the building.r

But, they soon noticed the abnormality. How was he running so fast? Wasn't he injured and couldn't do such a thing? Or could it be that he had lied about suffering from an injury?r

Their thoughts were about to go wild. But seeing Livingstone who was approaching, and he didn't seem to come to then with good intentions, the group had no choice but to get on their feet.r

The moment that Livingstone arrived, he attacked immediately. "I wanted to beat you guys up before. You were actually slacking instead of working out to improve your skills?"r

As he attacked, Livingstone berated them. The one that was at the forefront of being attacked was Klein. He hurriedly raised his hands to block the attack that was heading his way.r

But, something unexpected happened. The fist that was heading right for his face shifted and headed towards his chest. Since it was such an abrupt change, Klein had no chance to react before the fist landed on his chest.r

Feeling the power that was contained in that punch, Klein's eyes widened as he was blown backwards. As he landed on the ground, he felt that he had just been smashed by a truck and was already having it difficult to breathe.r

Livingstone didn't stop at Klein. He immediately attacked the others who were still shocked by Livingstone's show of strength.r

One by one, they were knocked onto the ground. Each and everyone of them only needed a single attack from him and they would all be beaten to the ground.r

This showed the difference and importance of experience. Although it was true that the group was strong, they didn't know how to fight. They only knew the basics to say. And, they hadn't even mastered the basics.r

After beating all of them to the ground, Livingstone looked at the group that was getting to their feet and said in an authoritative voice befit of a soldier. "As you can see, having strength is not enough for you to be able to defeat me. Imagine that this is an enemy that you are facing. Tell me, what are you going to do? Will you not have been killed by now?"r

"You are guards, I can't refute that. But, you are a group that belongs to a special team. You know, a special group like you, will have to face even more dangerous situations. It's not like, since you are strong, you can just stay idle."r

"I know that boss might have told you that he might not give you guys a duty that will have you risking your lives. But, how can you guarantee that there will be nothing unexpected that will happen?"r

"I know that most guards usually get complacent because they think that there are no dangers other than opening and closing the gate, organizing customers and so on. But, what if there is a terrorist attack, are you going to tell me that you are going to run away like the others?"r

"You have been given the chance to become stronger. Now that you are strong, why don't you use the strength that has been granted to you to fulfill your duties as a special team?!"r

As Livingstone spoke, the group's expression became solemn. It was only at this point that they realized the harshness of the matter. It was true that Jack might not really assign to them a difficult duty. But, what would happen if he was attacked? Would they really leave him to suffer and they stayed far away?r

No, that wasn't the case. Their lives weren't the best when they were working like normal guards. Jack had chosen them and had improved their lives and had also given them a chance to be stronger than normal humans.r

As Jack watched the group that was finally fighting against Livingstone, he nodded in approval. Although they were actually being beaten up, it would be better for them to gain experience through fighting a real expert rather than simply talking to them.r

He turned around and saw the burning gazes of both Tracy and Ayush. He was stunned as the two of them were looking at him as if they wanted to eat him.r

"What? You also want to have the same solution?" Jack asked.r

The duo nodded in unison. They had seen Livingstone being transformed from being an injured person to getting stronger and was able to fight twenty strong people as well. They too would like to be strong like that.r

"Alright, let's get going. I only prepared a single solution for Livingstone. You guys can receive one tomorrow. Let's get going, helicopters will be arriving here soon." Jack shook his head and said with a smile.
