Ryan's brow slightly furrowed as he received the doorman's welcome, which he found to be quite unique and refreshingly honest. Nevertheless, he continued to stride into the gambling house.
Ryan's disheveled attire drew the eyes of many patrons. How could it not be messy? Only moments before, Ryan had risen from his bed, was startled by his mother's invitation to attend a wedding reception, and then had rushed off to complete a system task to save a child from an accident.
Despite the stares, Ryan remained nonchalant and indifferent, apparently oblivious to the strange looks from the other visitors. Only a few steps into the building, the system's voice once again echoed in his mind.
[Ding! An intermediate-level system task has been triggered! Save the girl about to be assaulted in the restroom! You will receive 5 system points, 1 charm point, and 2,500,000 in cash! Failure will result in the loss of all your savings!]
"Seriously? What next?" Ryan muttered, shaking his head as he made his way towards the restrooms at the back of the building.
Arriving at the location, Ryan was uncertain which restroom to enter.
"System! Which one? Male or female?"
[Female, Master!] the System replied.
"Great, just great!" Ryan grumbled under his breath.
Slipping into the women's restroom, he tread as stealthily as a thief, feeling a mixture of embarrassment and concern about being spotted in a place not meant for him.
Inside, he was relieved to find it deserted except for himself. There was only one closed door, and Ryan was certain that behind it was the woman he needed to save.
Calmly and silently, Ryan approached the door. His heart beat a little wildly, apprehensive of what violation he might witness.
Taking a deep breath and bolstering his resolve, Ryan kicked open the restroom door with a single blow.
Brakk!
The door shattered due to the force of Ryan's kick, which was many times stronger than that of an average man.
And indeed, the scene before him was not one for the innocent. He saw a man and a woman, the woman bound and gagged, unable to move or speak, her back to the man.
The man was in the midst of revealing his pride and joy, standing tall as if to defy the world, just about to breach the woman from behind.
Instantly, the man spun around, his indecent act halted by the sight of the broken restroom door and Ryan standing beyond it with a peculiar expression.
"You're so small!" Ryan blurted without thinking.
"Who are you?" the man stammered, panicked.
His previously proud erection now withered away, and though he wanted to pull his pants back up, he was wary of the handsome young man before him.
Ignoring the question, Ryan just smiled strangely at the man.
"Does it ever feel the same when it's that tiny?" Ryan retorted.
"Curse you! How dare you mock me!" The man's anger erupted as he pulled out a folding knife from his still-on jacket and pointed it at Ryan.
Ryan merely laughed at the absurdity of a middle-aged man with no pants playing with a knife. The scene reminded him of his own childhood antics.
Enraged by Ryan's laughter, the man lunged forward with the knife aimed to stab.
Alert despite his laughter, Ryan smoothly dodged, and as the man's hand swung the knife repeatedly, hoping to cut Ryan, the young man, already skilled in martial arts, easily avoided each attack. Realizing the man's arm was weak, Ryan responded with a gentle kick to the assailant's arm during an attempted swipe.
The knife was flung into the air, and with a well-placed kick to the handle, Ryan directed the blade with precision.
Syut!
Crash!
The knife flew swiftly, catching the man's small pride, severing it cleanly.
"A-.."
Sdukkk! Sdukkk!
Before the man could scream in agony, Ryan had already silenced him with pressure point strikes to the throat and vocal cords, rendering him mute and immobile.
Tears streamed down the man's face from excruciating pain at the vital area. Within seconds the man fainted, unable to bear the torment any longer.
But before blacking out, Ryan had a few choice words.
"Such is the fate of a vile man like you! Better I do this now than have an angel take care of it in hell tomorrow!"
[Ding! Mission completed! Congratulations! You have earned 5 system points, 1 charm point, and 2,500,000 in cash!]
Ryan allowed himself a brief smile upon receiving the system's notification, then turned his attention to the tied woman. Not forgetting, he tossed the man's pants over the severed area for coverage.
He calmly untied the woman, who was indeed still a maiden, and noticeably a pretty one at that.
The girl's face was ashen, stunned as Ryan unraveled the knots that bound her and straightened her clothes. Naturally, she was in shock and terrified from her near ordeal.
"Relax now... Relax! It's all over!" Ryan assured her, embracing and gently patting the young maiden's head.
It took nearly fifteen minutes for Ryan to calm her down, fortunate that during this time no one else entered the restroom. After releasing his embrace, Ryan gazed intently at the beautiful girl.
"What's your name, miss?" he inquired.
"Lintang! My name is Lintang Aprilia!" she responded.
"Well, Lintang! How did you end up in this situation?" Ryan persisted, seeking to understand the predicament of the girl before him.
