"Here, was that clean enough for you?" Aaron asked while looking towards Roger then smiled widely when the muscular man kept opening and closing his mouth clearly unable to translate his thoughts into words to describe what he's feeling right now.

Manji felt somewhat sorry for her man when she saw him look at the scattered carcasses of the Mice around him and blink his eyes as if he's in some sort of dream which he very much wishes to wake up from!

'This brat really crushed Roger in this competition!

'He killed 20 of these Fuzzy-Phosphorus Mice in a matter of seconds and kept targeting the ones closer to Roger.

'His aim was to toy around with his competition by forcing Roger to run around like an idiot searching for a chance to actually get a kill.

'Clearly in the end this brat was allowing him to have some hope of getting any kill at all.

'But this ruthless kid ended that hope with an attack that came dangerously close to actually injuring Roger and it barely passed him by before killing the last mouse.

'To dare hold back while achieving this result... we underestimated him a lot!

'I know that Roger thought he stands a chance in winning this game if this brat isn't going to use any of his air or fire techniques.

'The rumors we heard yesterday from the ones who saw him kill these Mice with Pio, Lucas, and little bitch Sherry mentioned that he struggled to kill all the Mice with his Spear and had to use his air technique to kill some of the beasts before telling these three to kill the rest.

'Honestly I thought he'd use a Spear or a weapon to kill some of them before Roger caught up and starts a massacre of his own but no... we were all terribly mistaken there.

'The weapon he used was completely different from what we expected and the method was even more ridiculous with him jumping like a monkey or disappearing from some place then appearing all of a sudden some place else.

'However, what surprised me the most and almost took my breath away was seeing him keep a perfect aim despite having to do all this in a matter of seconds while moving around so much!' Manji was having these thoughts while squatting next a carcass of one of these Mice and looking at the weapon lodged deep into its skull.

Pio walked towards his young master Ron and looked around at the basement where the carcasses of the Mice are scattered around randomly before saying : "Since when was young master Ron this deadly? I thought his talent was burning shit up!"

The kid looked at his bodyguard and snapped : "Bastard! Would you like me to burn your house or something?"

"I wouldn't! I really wouldn't, please don't burn Betty's house young master Ron! Betty would kill me if you do something like that!" Pio shrunk in his clothes and begged in all sincerity.

Lucas was filling slightly sorry for his partner who ran his mouth like a fool and said something he shouldn't but he was inwardly nodding his head in agreement to what he said because this kid keeps on surprising him, whenever he begins to think that he got him figured out this young master Ron would reveal another secret which only ends up making him a lot more stronger and much more frightening than what he was before revealing said secret!

"I wasn't talking about Betty's house you moron! I was talking about "Your!" house you numb-nut." Aaron retorted before taking a plate of food from his Inventory Space then got busy using the fork.

Pio suddenly had a realization before grinning like an idiot while saying : "Oh! So that's what you meant young master Ron... I really don't mind if you do it if it's going to make you feel good."

This time the kid rolled his eyes at his bodyguard, "Then I might do it... I'd also tell Betty to chase you out of her house."

Pio's face paled once he heard the threat and finally understood that what he said actually made things worse for himself because his young master Ron took it as him actually provoking him instead of being co-operative with his wishes, "P-please don't! It was wrong of me to say something like that in the first place, please burn nothing young master Ron... A-and more importantly please let me keep Betty."

"Idiot... it's the other way around, you're living under her roof after all stupid... she's the one keeping you!" Aaron shook his head and ignored Pio who kept sighing in relief.

Aaron watched Manji collecting the Throwing-Stars from the carcasses and smiled once he saw how excited she was while holding them.

'Oh! She's quite good in using them... her aim is a bit bad but so far she didn't hurt her hands a single time.

'With her disguising techniques and stealth methods, this woman might have a promising future as a kunoichi!'

"I lost to you this time but next time I'll try to save myself some embarrassment by preparing myself a bit better." Finally Roger reverted to his usual self after accepting the truth of reality but his eyes were glowing with fire-like elation, clearly excited for the times to come.

Aaron looked at the big guy and nodded before saying : "You can do whatever you want big guy, but first call your men over to clear these carcasses and don't forget to tell your brother to pay me as fast as he can because I love Gold Coins more than anything in the world."

"Got it." The muscular man removed the metal knuckles from his hands and kept them in his pockets before carrying the carcass of the biggest Mouse on his shoulder then climbed the stairs to leave the basement.

"Hold it!" Right when Manji started dragging one of the Mice carcasses towards the stairs she heard this and twisted her neck to look backwards towards the one who said that, "I believe you have something which doesn't belong to you, give it back to young master Ron. Now!"

Manji's beautiful face darkened from anger before saying : "Y-you ungrateful bitch!

"For years I've been your beloved big sister Manji.

"For years I took care of you and taught you all you should ever know about weapons, being a girl, and men!

"I practically taught your skinny ass everything about life!

"Now you spend two days with this brat then keep betraying me for him every chance you get!

"Take the damn things!

*Clang* *Clink* *Clatter*

"You can forget you ever had a sist-" Right when Manji was about to storm out from the basement after tossing the 20 Throwing-Stars which she looted from the Mice carcasses.

She got interrupted by a childish yet confident voice which calmly said : "You can keep them," When all eyes fell on him Aaron continued to say : "Matter of fact, I might have something that really suits your style... Say, would you like to see it?"

*Snort*

Despite making this dissatisfied nasal sound, the woman was already squatting and carefully collecting the 20 Throwing-Stars from the floor!

*Tsk*

"Shameless!" Sherry clicked her tongue when she saw this embarrassing sight of her big sister acting so shamelessly without care in front of her young master Ron.

Manji stood up and stuck her chest out without care before glaring at her little sister Sherry while saying : "Shameless says the biggest shameless of all shamelessness."

Aaron smiled once he saw his maid frown in confusion after not understanding what this cunning woman meant but he did because what she said is actually a trap.

"So?" The kid asked while gesturing for the teenager girl to say nothing which is going to make her simply avoid falling in the trap.

"Show me what you got then, let's hope whatever that "something" is would be interesting enough and not a waste of my time." Manji put her pinky through the hole in the middle of one of the Throwing-Stars and blew on it then watched it spin slowly.

Aaron smiled because this beauty is clearly interested but playing hard to get but he doesn't have any intention of exposing her at all.

After buying two items from the Store he gave her the first item which is the exact same like the one he's wearing on his hands right now, a pair of Black Work Gloves with its only difference being for Females only to wear.

The second item however was completely different because it's made from a combination of both leather and metal which looks quite similar to a pair of vambraces or some weird looking and somewhat ugly sleeves!

Wrist Guards (Unisex-Common) Required Level 0 Required Class Any Required Basic-Attributes Strength +12, Agility +18 Attack Speed Normal (Stage 10) Weapon Attack +11 Number of Upgrades 7 Tradability Tradeable Refunded For 1 Gold Notes Claws beginner thieves use to store sets of Throwing-Stars to throw them safely and much faster than they normally can without them on.

"This is how you wear them on your arms and this is where you put the Throwing-Stars, once you get your fingers through these rings after covering your hands with this leather you simply strap these belts to tighten them around your wrist then link these chains on the rings to protect your palms." Aaron demonstrated for Manji how to wear these Claws.

"I see... can I try them on now?" Manji was so excited at that moment she looked like a kid visiting a candy store for the first time in their life!

The kid shook his head, "Not yet."

The woman grumbled, "Why?"

Aaron rolled his eyes while saying : "Just be patient! Now watch what happens when I move my wrist this way."

*Click* *Click*

The group saw 2 of the 50 Throwing-Stars which Aaron loaded within the pair of Claws earlier slide on the chains covering his palms before falling between three of his fingers where the thump and middle-finger are touching through the hole in the middle of the Throwing-Stars and his forefingers are balancing the Throwing-Stars for better aim!

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Clang* *Clang* *Clatter* *Clatter*

Less than a second after Aaron threw these two steel-made weapons towards the farthest wall, the group saw sparks fly before the Throwing-Stars fell to the ground.

"My turn!" Manji was already helping Aaron take the pair of leather and metal Claws off when she said that.

Sherry glared at her big sister who's acting so shamelessly before growling at her : "Can't you at least say thanks to young master Ron?"

"Ah! Of course, of course! Thank you young master Ron, thank you so much! Uh... does this part go this way?" The lack of sincerity made Pio and Lucas feel amused but the maid's face darkened and she almost exploded from anger when Manji's attitude suddenly shifted from kissing the kid's ass to seriously asking him for guidance with a straight face!

Roger was happy to see Manji and little Ron getting along once he returned with his men to take the rest of the carcasses for the butchers to skin and debone.

But the big guy felt slightly jealous of his woman once he saw her play with her new weapons which she received from the boy as a gift but Roger quickly decided to ask him for something the next time they meet.

"Hehe... young master Ron isn't so bad after all, next time you go wandering around near the brothel I might just use one of these Throwing-Stars to cut it in half for you!" Manji teased while spinning one of the Subi Throwing-Stars without showing fear of cutting herself thanks to the Claws she's wearing.

The beauty also thought : 'It would make it much easier for me to enjoy myself without having to rely on the Mice meat but I guess there's enough of that meat around here these days which is why I shouldn't cut your dick in half I guess.'

Roger would've ran away from this crazy woman as soon as possible if he knew what she's thinking!

Of course the muscular big guy tucked his thighs around his junior protectively once he heard what she said because he knows that Manji might seem like she's joking lightheartedly but these exact moments are when his woman could be the most dangerous.

'What was little Ron thinking giving Manji such a formidable weapon?

'He should've warned me first or at least give me time to make myself scarce before he hands it to her.

'Now all he did was disturb my peace!' Roger thought while nodding repeatedly to his excited and happy woman while giving her an awkward smile to hide his fear.
