My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

Chapter 218 The Path Forward

After dealing with Scar, Jake had sprinted towards a shop that sold clothes in order to purchase something to replace the shirt Scar had blown off.

Entering the shop, he could see the owner sitting down working on designs. The owner was a female.

"Hi." Jake called out as he entered the shop and the woman raised her head up.

The first thing her eyes laid on was Jake's body and his chiselled jaw.

"The gods have descended upon us." The woman said as she kept on staring at Jake.

"Excuse me?" Jake said abd his voice snapped the woman out of her thought.

"Did I say that out loud?"

"Yes, you kind of did." Jake replied.

"I'm so sorry." The woman apologized as her cheeks were now flushed up.

"What can I do for you?"

"I need a new shirt." Jake said.

"Sure, right here." The woman led Jake to a section that was filled with shirts. Different types of shirts. Continue reading at empire

And then after glancing at every shirt there, Jake's eyes laid on a shirt that was black in colour while it had red stripes around with a fang design on it.

"Perfect." Jake smiled as he picked it up and showed it to the shop owner.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"That will be 30 credits."

"Alright." Jake said as he went to the counter and paid while the woman released the shirt to him.

"Bye, please come again." The woman said while waving towards Jake who had already walked out of the shop with his new shirt on him.

"What the hell am I saying?" The woman said as she slapped her forehead loudly.

Steve who was there took note of their expressions.

'Even when Andrew attacked, they didn't show any ounce of fear. And here they are, cowering in fear from this young man right here. Are they saying he is stronger than Andrew?' Steve thought as he eyed Jake up.

'Even that especially strong one that could use Qi in wondrous ways, is also scared of him. Is this the werewolf slayer they were talking about?'

"Take it easy, at least they are okay." Zee said.

Jake then sighed and eased up on his seat and that was when the others felt the invisible pressure on them recede.

"I'm sorry for my outburst, I was just scared." Jake said.

"I understand. Especially after what happened with Vynn, I will also be worried for my friends." Peter said.

Hearing Vynn's name, Jake's thoughts drifted to their time together. That was when Jake remembered something.

"Helen, I know where your father is being kept and I gotta say, it's going to be hard to break him out." Jake said and then he noticed that Helen's face didn't have that happy glow as he expected.

"I also know where he's being kept. Steve here, told us everything." Helen said.

"Oh." Jake said as he glanced at Steve again.

"Okay now, what do we do next?" Alex asked.

"We try to strike a meeting with the Iron Fist Guild in order to negotiate, and if they still don't comply, they will get what's coming to them." Jake said.

"Okay, how do we do that?" Peter asked. "We can't rely on Steve's help."

"I have been informing Kate about everything we have found over the system and she said she will try to strike a meeting with them." Alex said.

Right on cue, Alex heard a notification ding in his head. The others saw Alex's expression as he was suddenly focused.

"What's it?" Jake asked.

"It's Kate, she has replied. She says the Iron Fist Guild have responded."
