"You should know it already. I would like to talk about Livingstone and the others." Valnaro went straight to the point. Since Jack was a straightforward person, he might as well do the sa.
Upon hearing what Valnaro was asking about, Jack wasn't surprised to say the least. It was normal that as a leader, Valnaro would try to find a way to improve the strength of his force. And although it was true that he couldn't raise the dead, as long as he could prevent the early retirent of his soldiers due to the injuries, his force would be higher as compared to the others.
In this way, they would have a great advantage over their enemies. This was sothing that Valnaro was willing to pay the necessary price to acquire it. After all, there was a fact that the secret that Jack used would be of great help to the country.
Jack was thinking about denying the issue. After all, this concerned his secret and his strength after all. So, he was definitely not willing to expose it to soone that might fight against him in the future due to the collision of interests.
But, there was sothing that he had noted. That was the fact that this was actually a chance for him to get his hands on so of the things that he couldn't do so easily. But, he would have to take the necessary precautions. He could only distribute the bod strengthening solution ad not the pills.
In this way, he could at least reserve sothing that could be used in the future to exploit the military. But, that would only happen if he had gotten sothing else that could replace the body strengthening pill. And, he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't get it. After all, he had the system. It was just a matter of when that would happen.
As he thought of that, Jack looked at Valnaro and asked, "What price are you willing to pay for it?"
To say the least, Valnaro was surprised that Jack didn't try playing dumb about it and just asked about the price that they were willing to pay for that. Although he was pleased with the way that things were going, there was a certain soone that didn't think that what Jack had asked was reasonable.
"What do you an by what price we are willing to pay? We are from the military. We do ensure your security and that is the reason as to why you are here now. So, it should be your honor to help us with the situation." Of course, the one that had spoken this ti was the vice-captain who seed to be having a big mouth at the mont.
Jack's expression darkened at that mont. It seed that this guy thought that he was far superior than Jack simply because he was a soldier. But, that was completely wrong. He had gotten the wrong target in this situation. Jack was already tired since young because his half-siblings always got onto his nerves as they acted all mighty in front of him.
And looking at the vice-captain, the way that he was putting on a self-righteous expression on his face, Jack was imdiately ticked off. And before Valnaro could say a word about the sudden change, Jack had already made a move.
He appeared in front of the vice-captain and smashed his head. The vice-captain who wasn't expecting this was imdiately blown away. The mont that he landed onto the ground, Jack had already arrived before him.
He picked him off the ground by the neck and stared directly into his eyes. His eyes were currently cold that they imdiately froze the vice-captain. The guy had absolutely not expected that Jack would actually make a move on him.
Furthermore, he had thought that he was strong enough to deal with Jack. But, the current situation that he was in at the mont was enough proof that he was being delusional. It seed that he had thought much about. In the end, he couldn't even withstand a single blow from Jack.
"Can you repeat what it was that you were trying to say before?" Jack asked coldly. How could he let so nobody to step on his dignity? It was his honor to help the military? To hell with that! Although he loved his country, it wasn't to the point that he would actually give away sothing that he had gotten with a lot of effort.
Furthermore, all these fights were due to benefits. The enmity all due to the fact that there was soone that was preventing others from getting what they wanted. And, he was sure that Azima had also attacked other countries to get what they wanted.
Valnaro wanted to make a move and prevent Jack from continuing to attack when he was suddenly blocked by Denali. He wasn't the only one though because even his other vice-captain had been stopped by Livingstone.
Currently, Valnaro's expression wasn't that good. After all, Jack attacking one of his subordinates was the sa as looking down on him. Furthermore, Livingstone's action made his expression turn uglier. After all, he was previously a soldier but he was now standing opposite to them.
Valnaro looked at Jack. When he saw that had no intention to do anything other that giving him a beating, he decided to let things play as they were. At the end of the day, it was true that it was his subordinate that had actually spoken rudely first. Moreover, this would just be a good chance to make sure that he wouldn't be arrogant next ti.
With that thought in mind, he waved at the other vice-captain and told him to retreat. He still thought that getting the secret that Jack used to heal Livingstone and the others was the priority. So, he could as well wait for Jack to complete what he was doing so that they could continue talking about what they were talking about.
On the other side, Jack cared nonetheless about what Valnaro was thinking about. As long as he didn't get involved at the mont, that was good for him at the mont. He could deal with the guy first before dealing with the others.
The vice-captain who was expecting that the captain and his colleague would co to his rescue despaired when he saw that they had no intention to do that at all. He was just about to ask when suddenly, the grip around his neck tightened.
The complete cut off of air made the vice-captain widen his eyes. He frantically tried getting out of Jack's grip but there was no success. He tried attacking Jack but all his attempts were futile. He couldn't even manage to make Jack struggle holding him in place in the air.
"I asked you a question. Perhaps you didn't hear ?" Jack's cold voice reached the vice-captain's ears. This sent chills down his spine. Although he was a proud person, not only due to his strength, but due to his position as well. But now, none of them seed useful to be able to get him out of the position that he was in.
Although he was currently bleeding due to the punch that had broken his nose, he forced himself to shake his head.
Seeing this, Jack smiled and asked, "You don't want to repeat what you were saying before even after I have asked you to do so?"
At this point, the vice-captain wanted to cry. Let alone breathing, he couldn't speak. So, what was Jack talking about him not wanting to speak? Although he too liked bullying others, he had no choice but to complain that he was being bullied.
Even Valnaro and the other three had no other choice but to think that Jack was really evil at the mont. He was after all giving that guy a very hard ti.
Seeing that the guy had almost passed out due to suffocation, Jack snorted and threw him on the floor. Although he was angered by the guy's constant provocation, that wasn't sothing that he thought that it was important at all.
He then turned towards Valnaro and said, "Captain, I hope that you don't mind my actions there. This guy simply got to my nerves and I couldn't take it anymore."
Knowing that bickering with Jack wasn't important, Valnaro simply shrugged at him and said, "Well, I have no choice but to admit that he really deserved a beating. As long as he wasn't killed, you could have beaten him more." Although that wasn't the truth, Valnaro thought that this would make Jack forget about the issue at the mont.
Jack smiled when he heard this. He said, "If that's the case, I will beat him up again when I will be leaving.
Valnaro felt his lips twitching when he heard that. But still, he thought that Jack was joking about it. So, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "Let talk about what we were talking about before."
"Okay then." Jack nodded. He was more than happy to ask for the benefits from Valnaro. So, leaving what had happened behind was more than welcod by him.
After he took a seat, he decided that he had to go straight to the point imdiately rather that talking too much. "So, what are you going to offer for the solution to the treatnt of the injuries of your soldiers?"
Valnaro smiled and said, "Why don't you state the properties of the solution so that we can know how it works? Furthermore, I would like to know if there are any side effects that are involved in between."
Jack thought that what he said made sense. So, he looked at Livingstone and waited for him to speak. At the end of the day, he was the one with first-hand experience.
Knowing what Jack was I implying, he imdiately got to his feet and decided to demonstrate his current strength. He looked at the other vice-captain that hadn't been involved in the fight and motioned for him to have a spar with him.
The room itself was wide enough in that, even if they engaged in a fight, as long as they didn't go all out, they would fight just fine as long as the tables and the chairs were moved to the side.
When they made the preparations, the two engaged in a fierce. And although it was true that the vice-captain wasn't holding back, when he faced Livingstone, he imdiately noticed that he had no advantage whatsoever at all. He was being suppressed by Livingstone.
And in less than two minutes, he had already been beaten to the ground. Although it was true that he hadn't gone all out, the sa could be said for Livingstone.
Valnaro and the others were greatly impressed by what they saw. They knew that Livingstone was just a normal soldier before today. Furthermore, every captain and his vice-captains were nothing but simple. The positions were not decided by simply the managent and commanding ability. But, they also looked at the fighting ability of the person as well.
Though, this only applied on the teams that were involved in dangerous situations like the team that was led by Valnaro. In other words, the vice-captains were stronger than normal soldiers. But even so, the vice-captain was beaten down in less than two minutes. And, Livingstone didn't seem to have worked hard.
"What is the secret?" Valnaro was amazed. He looked at Jack with shining eyes and asked.
