—[The Malevolent is 2 Kilometers from your current location]

—[Host failed to complete the two System Missions]

—[Host is a coward and as a result won't get the two system mission rewards]

"Tch" Jason clicked his tongue when he saw the system notification.

A coward? the Malevolent only needed one single attack to kill Aletta and Stephen who had more experience in Mystique Hunting than him.

Although he had once fought a B-rank threat before and even managed to kill it, that was because he was relying on the power that came with the Union Transformation, and still, the rebound effect almost killed him.

Although he didn't know how he was able to survive within the Phantom Plane without a Spirit body and even return back to the land of the living, he now knew better than to depend on the Union Transformation..

Not to mention that Sofia was currently MIA. Even if he wanted to use the Union Transformation, he couldn't do it without her consent.

Just when he thought it was all over, a new notification popped up.

—[As penalty for Host cowardice, -100 Mystique Coins have been deducted]

—[Mystique Coins]

—30,132

"Bastard!!" Jason's eyes went bloodshot when he saw the amount of Mystique Coins he had suddenly reduce by 100 units. Mystique Coins were not random peas you could pick on the roadside and yet this blasted system had stolen a whole hundred from him just because he chose not to carelessly throw his life away?!

If it was the Demon who killed his father, that could be classified as cowardice but a random ghost? why did he have to carelessly throw his life away on something that wasn't worth it?!

Due to the outrage that came with the unexpected actions from the system, Jason forgot to tone down the outrage, causing those part of the winding line to give him strange looks.

"Brat, do you have a problem with being in the line?!" the person standing in front of him craned his neck as he glared at him in a condescending manner.

It was actually a really large man with bushy beards that was multicolored from the spillage of alcohol. Jason immediately felt lightheaded from the sudden rotten stench that wafted from his mouth.

"Hmpfh. Coward" the large man smirked in satisfaction, taking Jason's silence for fear.

Just as he was about to turn back to the front, he suddenly felt a grip on his left wrist as a powerful tug drew him back.

"Why.. the.. hell.. does everyone keep calling.. me.. a.. friggin.. COWARD?!" Jason seethed in between clenched jaws as his grip on the large man's wrist tightened..

Although he was no longer wearing the Sprite Pupils, that bizzare blue colored flame like energy was currently coated around his body from head to toe.

The large man immediately shivered as he felt his surrounding suddenly turn frosty.

Before he could react to this change, Jason easily yanked him off his feet, before slamming back on the ground.

The sound of bone breaking rang out from within the cloud of dust that rose into the air.

Sensing the shocked gazes he was receiving, Jason seemed to snap out from a trance as he stared at his hands and then back on the large man writhing on the ground.

"I--I did that?!" he stuttered, almost like a question to those around him than to himself.

Just now after hearing the other party call him a coward, a strange anger had suddenly overcome him. Jason knew himself better than anyone else. Although he could get angry, he was also calm headed. The other party had merely called him a coward.. that wasn't something he would get angry over and shockingly, he did!

Just as he was feeling confused, the line in front of him began to part into two ways, revealing a man in purple kimono robes making his way towards him.

"Is the kid going to be escorted out?"

"Of course. Fighting isn't allowed within the courtyard..." A couple of bystanders whispered amongst themselves.

Arriving before Jason, the Kimono wearing man glanced briefly at the writhing man on the ground before switching his gaze back on Jason.

"My name is Maxwell and my Master is expecting you" Kimono man spoke to Jason in a robotic manner, stunning all who were present..

It was fine if this trouble maker kid wasn't being kicked out, but he was going to skip the line just like that?

Those who were at the front couldn't accept this kind of injustice!

"Why is this brat going to skip the line huh? I have been standing in this line for six hours straight and it's almost my turn!"

"Yours is nothing. I was standing here for ten hours and I just took a break to take a piss, however a bastard ended up stealing my spot causing me to restart from the back!"

"I thought this was supposed to be treated in a first come first serve pattern!"

Listening to the constant whining complaints around him, the nose of Kimono man wrinkled in annoyance, however he did his best to appear patient as he calmly replied.

"According to the rules master made, alumnis are given certain benefits. For example, skipping the line"

"However if you don't feel convinced, then go screw yourself " dropping these words, Kimono man swaggered off under the shocked gazes around him.

Naturally, Jason hurried after him. Passing through the line, they arrived at the entrance of the only cottage in the courtyard. Judging from the outer decor, Jason could deduce that this building had been standing for quite some time without any renovations made.

Entering the cottage, Jason expected to see an old man sitting cross legged on a mat with an incense burner surrounded by seven red candles and a devil diagram.

However instead what he saw was middle aged man seated on a couch with his leg inserted in a steaming bowl as he moaned while enjoying a massage from a female masseur.

"Hm?" the middle aged man seemed to have sensed the two new presence, causing him to open his eyes lightly as he took a peek.

"Why do you look surprised?" his lips curled when he saw Jason's perplexed expression.

"You are the Miracle Doctor?" Jason's lips twitched..

What the hell was this? why did he feel like he was currently in a spa? and what kind of heavy perfume did this bastard spray around? it was making his nose itch!

"Yup" the lips of the middle aged man made a popping sound as he replied.

"But you can call me Doctor Damian.. what? this wasn't what you were expecting?" the man smirked.

"What the hell are you doing? there's a crowd of people outside and here you are enjoying.. a friggin' body massage?!" Jason didn't know why but a strange rage was gradually building up within him.

"I know. However my current position doesn't change anything " Doctor Damian lazily shrugged..

"What do you mean?" Jason sucked in a deep breath to calm to calm his nerves.

However he instantly regretted this because the heavy perfume in the atmosphere almost choked him.

"Although I am the Doctor, this isn't my lab. Today is my self appointed holiday. What those people are doing is making an appointment. It depends on my mood if they get one or not"
