Hi Babe, I have sent the money, have you received it?" Austin typed away on his phone, a small satisfied small sat on his face as he hit the sent button."Seen," The next second, a one word cold reply was sent back to his phone.Austin froze, his eyes popping out of their sockets as he stared blankly at this phone wondering what was going on."No, this can't be happening," He muttered under his breath and quickly backed from the chat, wanting to go back in to see another message.Maybe the first one deleted, or an addition to explain how grateful she was.Maybe something else. He didn't know what he was expecting, but he knew he was expecting something.But the moment he went back into the chat, his body froze once more and his body shook heavily as if a bucket of cold water had been doused on him.Right under the last chat, the block for the input message was replaced by another message."You've been blocked by this user."Austin blinked, rubbed his eyes and then looked at his phone

Austin stared at the five figures crowding his doorway.Leading the group was Declan, a hulking man with a scarred jaw and a cheap leather jacket. These were the loan sharks who had been hounding him all week."Look who finally decided to show up," Declan sneered, cracking his knuckles."We heard you had a little run-in with some street trash last night. Shame they didn't finish the job. Now, where is my money, Austin? You owe us a hundred thousand. With interest, let's call it two hundred."Austin's brows furrowed slightly. What the heck were these people talking about.. This was outright extortion. The original loan for Chloe's fake mother had only been twenty thousand.Before, he would have begged, or tried to force them to back down.But now, with ten million sitting comfortably in his bank and Elite Combat Mastery he just felt annoyned. He was exhausted, and these men were standing between him and his bed."Two hundred thousand?" Austin raised his brows, his expression darkening.

The instant the liquid slid down Austin's throat, a fiery heat exploded in his stomach.Before he could even put the empty vial down, that warmth rushed into his limbs and bones like a flood."Ugh..." Austin groaned softly, gripping the edge of the desk as his muscles began to tighten and expand.Soft popping sounds echoed from inside his body as his bones grew denser and stronger, repairing all the years of malnourishment and exhaustion in seconds.At the same time, a sticky, foul-smelling black substance began oozing out of every pore on his skin.In less than a minute, the heat faded away, leaving Austin covered from head to toe in a layer of dark grime.Catching a whiff of the terrible stench coming off his clothes, Austin pinched his nose and frowned deeply."What the heck is this smell..."Having no other choice, he quickly looked around the office and spotted a bathroom.Without hesitation, Austin hurried inside.Ten minutes later, Austin stepped out of the bathroom feeling rat

At the same time the bleeding stopped, the woman's ragged breathing slowly calmed down.The hand clutching her chest relaxed, and the pale look on her face gradually regained a bit of color.Even though the people watching didn't understand what Austin had just done, anyone could see that it was a good thing and that her life was no longer in danger!Seeing this, everyone in the crowd let out a long sigh of relief."It worked! She's breathing normally again!" someone in the crowd exclaimed in amazement."This young man actually saved her with just a few taps of his fingers! That's incredible!"Hearing the crowd's words, the middle-aged husband stared at his wife's steady chest for a second before tears of relief poured down his face.Without caring about the dirt on his knees, he turned around and grabbed Austin's hands tightly."Thank you! Thank you so much, young man!" the man choked out, his voice shaking with gratitude."If it weren't for you pulling her out of the car and stoppin

The officer leading the team was called Marcus.He stared at the ten burly thugs groaning on the ground, then looked up at Austin, who didn't even have a scratch on him.A bitter smile slowly appeared on Marcus's face.He didn't know how the fight had gone down, and he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes.But he had already heard about how Austin ripped a car door off its hinges earlier tonight.There was no doubt in his mind that Austin was the one who had taken all of these men down by himself!Even though he hadn't seen the actual fight, Marcus couldn't help but feel deeply impressed by this young man's terrifying skills."Brother, it really is you again," Marcus spoke, shaking his head in amazement as he walked over."I didn't expect us to meet a second time so soon."Austin shrugged slightly and pointed at Declan and the men on the floor."These guys blocked my door and tried to rob me. I just defended myself."Marcus looked down at the metal pipes and wooden bats scattered aro
