Everyone was left speechless by Celine's words. The four from the Panther organization already knew about the effects of them mirage crystal. As for Jack, he had a clue only after receiving a prompt from the system.
But, it was completely different when it came to Celine. To her, nothing had happened other than a bright flash of light. After that, the group of four in front of her wanted to depart. She could not understand the logic in that at all.
Anyway, nobody could blame her. At the end of the day, if someone suddenly brought out a bright light, then, those that would be looking at it would suddenly close their eyes. After that, although it might take a few seconds to recover their sight fully, that did not imply that they were going to go blind.
That was the exact reason why Celine could not understand why this group of people was so foolish to think that, by bringing out a bright light, they were going to be blinded. And during this time, they were going to use this chance to escape.
This time, Celine did not give them a chance. Instead, with rapid movements, she arrived in front of Doris. Doris who was completely stunned by Celine's words, did not have a chance of reacting at all.
Pah!
A tight and resounding slap suddenly landed on Doris's cheek. The strength that was put inside that slap immediately sent Doris rolling onto the ground.
At the same time, a few of her teeth suddenly got dislodged from the gums. It was obvious that the strength that was inside that slap was so immense, in that, even Celine herself did not expect the results.
She had just become a superhuman not long ago. So, this would be the first time that she was testing her strength.
Just looking at the fact that she was now capable of sending people flying, Celine got more enthusiastic. She could not help but wait for the time that she was going to go to the stronghold, and get even stronger.
Although she did not know what it was that the stronghold was defending against, but she knew that, they were the ones that were maintaining peace. Additionally, it seemed that they were not in a much of a disadvantage considering that, people from the stronghold were capable of moving around without much care.
"Hey, try to make sure that you don't destroy her mouth. Otherwise, how is she going to reply to my questions?" Jack shouted from the side.
"Alright. I'll just destroy her throat so that she cannot continue blabbering nonsense." Celine replied as she gazed at Doris who was on the ground looking at her with a horrified gaze.
Jack felt helpless when he heard Celine's response. He could not help but say, "If you destroy her throat so that she cannot continue blabbering nonsense, then, if I ask her questions, how is she supposed to answer me with her throat destroyed?"
"Oh! I forgot. Anyway, I'm going to beat her up for talking to my man like that. I'm going to beat her up so that she can begin telling us the information that we want before we begin asking." Celine was a little embarrassed when she heard Jack's words.
It was just that, she was happy about getting stronger, that she did not even think about the response that she gave to Jack. All the same, she felt her fists itching to beat someone.
Ken, Steve, and John looked at Celine with horrified gazes. They knew that she was a superhuman, and, they did not have any chance of resisting if she attacked them.
The trump card that they had brought with them was completely useless in front of these two people. At least, they could see that Samantha had been affected. But, for the two, it was nothing other than just a flash of light.
They were currently wondering just what kind of background did these two people possess. They had investigated them, but there was none of the information that stated that they possessed any super abilities.
But now, the thing that they wanted to do the most was to get out of here. They no longer cared about the mission, and neither did they care about the background that the two people in front of them possessed.
Whether they knew about the background of the two people or not, they were going to be toast if the two decided to kill them. Moreover, they finally understood the reason why Samantha decided to 'betray' the Butterfly organization.
Just as the three of them were about to begin using the laser weapons that they possessed, they were suddenly attacked. As for who attacked them, it was obviously Celine. She had noticed that the three wanted to escape, and since they were here to deal with them, there was no way that she was going to let them go.
With rapid movements, she was able to neutralize the three of them with just a single punch for each. The three of them rolled onto the ground screaming in pain as several of their bones had been broken.
Despite the fact that they were putting on an armor, it was completely useless in the face of a superhuman's strength.
"Oops, it seems that I have not managed to control my strength well. Anyway, you cannot believe me. But, because you guys came over to look for my aunt, you will have to pay for it. From the way that I can see you guys, it doesn't seem like you have any good intentions." Celine stated as she looked at the three that were rolling on the ground.
Had it not been for the fear that they currently had for Celine, they will have surely cursed at her. Even though she seemed to be claiming that she was sorry, there was no any sense of apology on her face.
Additionally, what did she mean by claiming that, just by looking at them, they did not seem like good people? Didn't she know about the fact that she is not supposed to judge the book by the cover?
Additionally, even though it was true that they had come over to look for Anita, they never came over to beat her up. They had simply come over because they wanted to take her to the stronghold, because she was important for their organization's future plans.
Completely ignoring the gazes that she was receiving from the three that were filled with grievances, she went ahead and took away the laser weapons that they were possessing.
With that, the five puppets were able to overlook them, to ensure that they did not try to escape.
As for the mirage crystal, Celine took it and looked at it curiously. She did not see any connections that implied that this thing was a torch or something. Anyway, she threw it at Jack, and focused her gaze on Doris.
After that, she began torturing Doris. When facing Doris, there was not an ounce of naivety that she showed in front of Jack. In front of Doris, she was completely cold.
Celine had decided to use Doris as a target that she was going to try controlling her strength with. So, she punched, kicked, and grasped, all trying to see the full capabilities of her strength.
But as she continued testing her own limits, Doris was suffering. She was screaming, begging for mercy and so on, but, no matter what she did, Celine did not show any intention of stopping.
As for Jack, he completely ignored Doris and Celine, and focused on the mirage crystal that he was holding in his hand. At the same time, a system prompt appeared the moment that he received the mirage crystal.
[Congratulations on receiving a mirage crystal that still has two chances of usage. Multiplier effect is possible. Do you want to increase it in terms of quantity, or quality?]
Jack was surprised when he received the system prompt. He had not expected that the mirage crystal was capable of being multiplied by 100 times.
'System, is there something up with the multiplier effect?' Jack asked. It was not that he was not happy at the fact that the loot that he had gotten was capable of being multiplied by a hundred times.
It was just that, he could not understand the system anymore. During the first times that he had received the system, it had claimed that, as long as he earned income in the rightful means, then, it was going to be multiplied by a hundred times.
But now, it was completely different. They had just beaten up someone, before taking away their property. So, he wondered if this was actually a rightful mean that the system was talking about.
Additionally, they had hurt someone, which was something that the system claimed that it was not going to multiply the income that came if they hurt someone else.
[There is no error. At the second level of your authority, as long as you defeat an enemy, you can get their loot. And after getting what they previously owned, it can be multiplied by the system by a hundred times either in terms of quality or quantity, depending on the item and the host's choice.]
'It seems that by upgrading my system authority to the second level, I have just gotten myself and opening for getting more resources in the strongholds.' Jack thought to himself.
He finally understood that the reason why the system recommended that, for him to go to the stronghold, he had to ensure that he had upgraded his system authority to the second level.
It turned out that since he was going to a place that fights were more rampant, then, he was bound to earn income by beating up others.
'I would like it to be multiplied in terms of quality.' Jack decided in his mind.
