Chapter 56 Level 2 Potions
As the Sian galloped on the road going back to the villa, Roland could not help but think of the situation regarding the man who turned into a robber earlier.
He thought for a while and came up with one possible conclusion.
That man must have been fired and become desperate.
Although he was not sure of this yet, Roland was at least 80 percent sure that this was the case. The remaining 20 percent, he would only be able to confirm it once he confirmed something from Stacey.
And if what he concluded was really the truth, Roland realized that face-slapping people was not as relaxed as he initially thought.
As one said, opportunity comes with danger, and with danger comes opportunities. This phrase truly describe Roland situation right now
Face-slapping people posed many risks to him.
This time, the one he face-slapped only turned into a small-time robber. What would happen if the guy decided to take revenge on him directly and in a hard way?
Grudge will be formed and if not resolved correctly, it might turn into something terrific.
There were those who would learn a lesson and there would be those who wouldn't change and might even turn crazier once he face-slapped them.
Roland thought, 'Perhaps, this was the reason why the store has the Physique and Soul Enhancement Potions available for sale?'
Maybe it was indirectly telling him to become stronger so that he could protect his life from dangers that arose from him face-slapping people everywhere.
Perhaps in the future, he would encounter dangerous people that would try to kill him as revenge for face-slapping them.
Knowing this, the importance of the Physique and Soul Enhancement Potion rose even more in Roland's heart.
In the future, no matter how expensive they get, he promised to always buy them as early as possible to prepare for the worst.
Martial Art or Fighting Skills like the Unarmed Combat must also be taken note of in advance so that he would know what to buy for every situation that he might encounter in the future.
"We're here!"
Roland was awakened from his inner thoughts as he heard Janine's voice.
He looked up and realized that they were truly already home. He did not even realize it due to him being absorbed in his thoughts.
He went out of the Ramborghini Sian first. Butler Frank was already outside, waiting to receive them.
Janine drove the Sian to the huge garage and parked it there carefully as if it was her child getting placed on a crib.
On the other hand, after Butler Frank's invitation, Roland went directly to the dining area and had breakfast together with Janine.
It was already past noon and the workers had already eaten.
Roland did not mind such details and focused on eating with Janine beside him.
As they recalled the encounter to Butler Frank, the latter said that he would handle it if ever the cops came to investigate.
At the same time, worry also filled Butler Frank's heart thinking of the dangerous situation earlier.
He carefully reminded Roland and Janine to be careful and be alert in the future. Who knows what would happen if the robbers did not only bring knives but also guns.
Roland also thought that facing an enemy with a gun was at least ten times more dangerous.
Although Roland was confident of his current abilities, he simply could not think of avoiding a bullet.
Those things only happen in movies.
However, Roland also knew that perhaps, he would be able to achieve such a level in the future with the help of the System.
He was excited at the thought of dodging bullets in close range.
But now, he decided to buy and consume the two potions first.
He excused himself and went to his room.
There, he bought the Physique Enhancement and the Soul Enhancement Potions for 2000 Face-Slapping Points.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You bought the Level 2 Physique Enhancement Potion for 1000 FS Points. Please check under the bed for the item.]
Ding!
[Congratulations! You bought the Level 2 Soul Enhancement Potion for 1000 FS Points. Please check under the bed for the item.]
The System placed the product in an unnatural spot yet again. This only expanded Roland's fear of buying the store products in public.
Roland shook his head as he ignored the System's weird delivery services. He bent over and checked the two items under his bed.
After pulling them out, he observed the two potions that he placed on his hand.
The red and blue potion glistened in front of his eyes, it was as if they were inviting him to consume them already.
Although the two had different colors, Roland could not help but think that the two of them were perfectly the same.
It was as if the two were in complete harmony, making them unique and mesmerizing to look at together.
In the end, Roland could no longer hold back their tempting offers anymore as he took the red and blue potion, uncorked them, and poured all of their contents all to his mouth together.
The moment it landed on his tongue, Roland felt two contrasting flavors assault it.
One was hot like a chili while one was as cold as ice.
His throat was burning like desert and at the same time in the northern zone where only ice existed.
As the two contrasting sensations entered his stomach and spread over his heart, a sudden pain that he never experienced from the previous potion consumption, suddenly assaulted his body and mind.
The sudden pain startled Roland. This did not happen when he consumed the Physique and Soul Enhancement Potion before.
Auurgh!
A grunt escaped his mouth as his body curled up automatically due to the pain and itch he was feeling all over his body.
Not only that, a stinging sensation also filled his brain, it was as if his brain was poured into a blender and was blended into mush.
He felt like his bones were getting crushed into powder and his blood getting drained over his body.
Outside, his body started to turn red as he felt the burning sensation increase even more.
Roland could only close his eyes and endure the pain like a man.
He gritted his teeth, forcing himself not to shout or scream like a little girl.
On the other hand, if one were to observe Roland's present situation, they would probably notice that black sweats have actually started to ooze out of his pores at this moment.
Roland had his eyes closed and was focusing on not screaming so he was not aware. However, the black sweat kept on oozing out of his skin and it has now turned the area around him into a little puddle of black goo.
And although Roland did his best not to scream or even utter a single sound in the process, what he did not know was that Butler Frank and Housekeeper Stella were actually already outside of his room, worried about his situation inside the room.
