Episode 5

"Damn it! You just ignored my boss!"

One of the men shouted angrily and advanced to deliver a blow to Aldo, who stood motionless.

Aldo was an ordinary individual who had never been in a fight before, so he was unprepared for the sudden attack and clueless about how to counter someone who seemed experienced in combat.

Thus, the fierce blow landed squarely on Aldo's face, causing him to fall to the ground along with his chair.

Aldo coughed a few times before the assailant pressed his head to the floor and locked his arms behind his back.

In such a predicament, Aldo could do nothing but depend on the system, which seemed to understand Aldo's intentions and immediately displayed a transparent screen before his eyes.

The screen didn't show Aldo's status as before but showed a lottery wheel with question marks on each section; yes, it was a lucky spin that could be activated using some System Points.

[The cost for one lucky spin is 10 System Points. How many Points do you wish to spend?]

"One hundred..." Aldo mumbled softly.

[100 System Points have been deducted for 10 lucky spins, 50 System Points remain!]

The wheel of fortune spun rapidly once Aldo confirmed using 100 System Points for 10 spins.

Aldo had high hopes that spending half of his System Points would yield valuable abilities.

And indeed, his hopes were perfectly realized.

[Acquired taekwondo skills!]

[Acquired guitar playing skills!]

[Acquired singing skills!]

[Acquired cooking skills!]

[Acquired military skills!]

[Gained 200 Ability Points!]

[Received 10 million rupiahs!]

[2+ Stamina]

[2+ Strength]

[2+ Intelligence]

[All obtained skills and items have been added to your status.]

Aldo broke into a pleased smile because he had gained not just one but two martial arts skills—taekwondo and military, which might require the use of weapons.

Meanwhile, the man who had apprehended Aldo was puzzled by Aldo's sudden smile.

"Have you lost it, smiling to yourself like that? Looks like you need more of a lesson from me!"

"Let him go!"

Myra's shout rang out clearly, drawing the attention of everyone in the eatery. Bravely, she stepped forward and stood up to the group of menacing men.

"Myra, what are you doing?!"

Mr. Suman was deeply concerned and pulled his daughter's arm to take her back, but Myra was resolute in her stand to save Aldo.

Finally, the boss who had been silent spoke up, "It seems your daughter has grown up well recently, Mr. Suman..."

Myra trembled with fear at the repulsive look in that man's eyes, who was known as the boss of the feared Death Metal gang citywide, also dubbed the Joker.

He and his men regularly caused havoc, riding their motorcycles around isolated residential areas, disturbing the peace among the lower-class citizens.

They often violently seized assets from people and trifled with defenseless women they encountered.

How could Myra not be terrified facing such individuals? Yet despite her fear, she remained firm.

With a few more steps, he would reach Myra, but a loud crash from behind distracted him.

He turned and saw the man who had beaten Aldo now lying unconscious on the floor.

"Who did that!"

Shocked, he realized that the person who had knocked down his man was none other than Aldo, who stood not far from the fallen henchman.

Aldo wiped the corner of his split lip and spat out blood, then with a sharp gaze, he looked straight at the Death Metal gang leader.

"You should never take your eyes off your enemy," said Aldo coldly, further infuriating the man.

"Tch! Insolent lowlife! What are you waiting for, beat him down now!" he ordered his still-stunned cronies.

Quickly regaining their senses, they brandished their baseball bats and attacked Aldo in unison.

"Feel this!"

"He dodged?"

Everyone was shocked when Aldo avoided their onslaught by ducking to the floor.

Without stopping, Aldo spun on the spot and swept their legs simultaneously, knocking them all down in a heap with severely injured legs.

Some, like their incapacitated comrades, opted for a direct assault without weapons.

Aldo grinned, "This is a no-holds-barred fight, with no rules at all here," he muttered and grabbed one of the bats lying on the ground.

Next, he charged at the attackers one by one, the distinct sound of breaking bones resounding with each powerful strike.

Chaos ensued in what should have been a peaceful diner, painful screams mingling with the destruction of furniture.

The Death Metal gang leader was stunned by Aldo's unexpected strength.

"Now it's just you," Aldo declared after defeating all the gang members.

The gang leader flinched and stepped back, realizing he was no match for Aldo. Despair gripped him as his crew lay vanquished, wanting to flee but restrained by pride.

At last, he drew something from his back pocket and shouted, "Stay back or I'll kill you!"

The crowd gasped and panicked seeing the desperate man with a switchblade, threatening Aldo.

Given his past, a knife murder wouldn't hesitate him – the crowd knew he could easily kill Aldo.

But Aldo showed no fear, closing in with a confident smile.

"I warn you once more!" the man bellowed futilely, his rage unheeded by Aldo.

"Tch! Your death be on your head!"

He charged at Aldo, knife aimed to stab; however, as it neared mere inches from Aldo, Aldo deflected it with his military skills.

Seizing the assailant's wrist, Aldo twisted and slammed him hard to the ground, snatching the knife and pressing it against the man's throat.

"You've lost," Aldo stated icily.
