Morgan immediately spun around and launched a kick at the black-clad figure who had suddenly attacked.The figure managed to block Morgan's kick with one of his own.Morgan and the man took a few steps back, locked eyes, then darted at each other again. In the silence of the city park, they exchanged fists, punches, and kicks.Morgan climbed onto a chair, jumped as high as he could, and parried the kick. The figure didn't move. Just as the kick nearly hit his face, the figure circled around until he was behind Morgan.Morgan froze as the figure held a knife to his neck."Good job, Morgan," the figure said, smiling.Morgan pulled the knife away from the figure's stomach.The man pulled his knife back and glanced around the park. "I didn't expect to see you in this city.""Neither did I, Malvin."“I’ve heard about the events at sea and on that island from some of the Iron Deer members. They said you defeated Leon and Gabby. You also managed to escape from one of the former assassins. I

[Ding][Main mission created][Mission: Recruit Jacob][Duration: 21 days][Reward: 1,000 EXP + $1,000,000]Morgan was stunned as he watched the hologram display the mission information. “A new mission with a huge reward. The reward is commensurate with the difficulty.”“I only know Jacob has a birthmark on his left chest. I don’t have a photo or any other information about him. That man named Jacob is likely a very skilled fighter.”“I don’t think Jacob will be tempted by my money. If I want to recruit him, I have to prove myself worthy.”Morgan stared at his hands, clenching them tightly. “Malvin said he was nearly beaten to death when he faced Jacob. I’ll definitely end up in a tragic situation if I act rashly.”“What have you been muttering about, Morgan?” Dave asked from the chair beside him.“No, I’m just thinking about how to find that man named Jacob.”“Before you think about that, you should think about how you're going to get into the underground fighting arena. I heard the

“What's going on?”Morgan watched the red hologram screen that kept flashing warnings. “I was just about to watch the King of Arena fight, but the System is giving me a warning.”“This is exactly the same as what happened when I was near... Marcus.”[Host must leave the dangerous area within one minute][Countdown begins: 60, 59, 58, 57....]Morgan turned to the arena. The King of Arena and the surviving participants began to enter the fighting arena.The situation in the arena was heating up. The audience shouted even louder, standing up and cheering for the Arena King.Morgan rushed out of the audience seats, ignoring the insults from the audience nearby. “I can watch from a distance.”Morgan left the spectator seats, climbed the small stairs, and ran towards the entrance to the area. “The system hasn't stopped counting down yet, and I'm still in the dangerous arena.”Morgan entered the hallway and kept running as fast as possible. He passed several unconscious thugs on the floor an

A week passed very quickly.Morgan tried to gather information about the Arena King. Several anonymous members of the underground fighting fan group provided the same information that Jack, the janitor, had given him.Several other anonymous members sent private messages to Morgan's account, but they asked for payment in exchange for the information.Morgan didn't want to be reckless by exchanging information with strangers, especially since he was still searching for Marcus and the Iron Deer group.Dave had informed Morgan about his search for his friends. Unfortunately, the middle-aged man had not yet found any of them.Dave moved from one city to another. He was lucky because he could move more freely than Morgan.At the same time, Malvin hadn't provided any information regarding the location of the East Eagle group's main headquarters.Communication between them was very limited to avoid danger. Only Malvin could send him messages.In the midst of the sun that had just risen above

Morgan hung on with one hand as items as large as cabinets, trash cans, chairs, and tables slid down. He jumped over the iron fence and finally landed on the ground.Jack watched Morgan from the window, disappearing when Morgan turned to look at him.Morgan touched his shoulder, grimacing in pain. “My hand also feels very sore after blocking the King of Arena's punch. I'm lucky I made it out alive.”Morgan hurriedly hid behind a wall when the guards appeared. Turning to his left, he saw the guests crowding towards the exit.“That's... Delta,” Morgan muttered when he saw Delta in the crowd. “He looks very angry because I humiliated him for the third time. He calls himself the future leader of this city's gang.”“I have to be very careful because that could make me a target and the center of attention. My presence in this city must not be detected by the enemy. I still have to find and recruit Jacob. Otherwise, I will fail to complete the mission and save Maxim.”Morgan immediately turn
