20 Power On!

John turned to look at Mark and said, "Okay, let's begin."

Mark heard him and he frown, he said, "What do you mean by that kid?"

"I mean what I mean mister" John said

"Kid, get out of here." Mark said as the frown on his face grew deeper.

"Mister, I know that you have been scammed by this mister vendor. So for now you should first listen." Said John as he try to make Mark listen to what he have to say,

"And tell me, why should I listen to a kid that looks like just eight years old, huh?" Ask Mark, he did not know what to make of things. A kid is telling him that he knows what happened and for him to listen.

Because of the body of John that he got from all the exercise that he did, he looks older than his actual age. Explaining why Mark thought he was an eight years old kid.

"Uhhh… Mister, first let me correct you. I am just five years old right now." Said John calmly.

Mark raised an eyebrow and said, "Isn't that more of a reason why I should not listen to you?"

Mark found it funny that he was actually talking to a kid seriously.

"Well, looks like you are stubborn and keep fighting me with my age. So just watch and learn." He said to Mark seriously as he turned around and faced the scamming vendor.

"Mister vendor, can I ask for your name?" John ask,

The vendor put on an amiable face and said, "You're such a cute kid, my name is Richard. Do you want some candy?" He said and picked up a candy from a jar in his store.

John received the candy and asked, "Mister Richard, can you tell me why did you scam them?"

The smile on Richard's face did not leave even when asked a question about his scamming.

"What do you mean kid? I did not scam anyone." He said,

"But he was shouting that you scammed him!" John pointed his fingers to Mark. Who in response raised his head and was starting to lose interest in the kid because all he did is asking questions.

So he decided that it is enough, "Kid, get out of here, you are wasting my patience!" He yelled to John.

John ignored Mark who was shouting behind him and continued looking at Richard waiting for his answer.

Richard's smile deepens when he hears John's question.

"Look at that man, you see his aggressiveness?" John nodded in response to his questions,

"Also, look at his face. It looks like the face of a villain and he look like a thug, right"

"Yes yes yes, he really looks like a thug" John nodded his head, then he asked, "So, what of it, Mister Richard?"

"Hehe, kid he looks like a villain. So, who do you think is the scammer from the two of us?" Richard asked with a broad smile.

John looked at the eyes of Richard and smiled playfully, he said, "You are!"

Richard almost fell to the ground from the answer of John, he pointed his fingers to him, "You..!!"

Richard felt

"Mister Richard, can you admit that you scammed them?" John asked playfully.

Richard just stares at John and did not say anything.

Not hearing a response from Richard, John thought of finishing the mission already as he is about to lose to the time limit.

"I actually know what is happening here, that's why I stop the two all from hurting this you, Mister Richard." He said,

"So what, kid. Do you think people will believe you if you just say it?" Richard said in a small voice that only him and John can hear, the smile on his face is still present but it is not so amiable anymore.

'Kid, looks like you are intelligent but you are still wet behind the ears.' Richard thought.

John understood since long ago he will get nothing from Richard but still play with him. That is because he was waiting for the guards to arrive, and now they are here among the crowd.

Since the guard is now here it is now time to let Mister Richard go with them.

He put his hands on his pocket and got a gold coin.

John said, "Mister Richard, if you admit that you scammed them, I will give this to you." He raised the hand holding a gold coin to present it to Richard.

Richard's eyes turned to golds when he saw the gold on John's hand.

But he resisted the attraction of the gold because if he did not, he will be put to jail when he admitted it and said, "No."

"How about two gold coins"

"No"

"Five"

"...No" It is starting to get hard to resist the attraction to the gold to him. His mind is starting imagine about what he can use that gold coins, but when he thinks about jail he still resisted it.

John put his hand on his chin and think for a sec, then he said, "How about you admit it, but only to me. You can just whisper it!"

Richard looked at John, full of doubts. From what he can see, this kid is quite intelligent. So, what is the kid gaining here if he told it to him?

But seeing that it has no disadvantage to him, he thought of telling the kid the truth. 'It will be a funny scene if he told it to the guards but no one listens to him, hehehe.' and he smiled playfully just imagining about it.

So he agreed, "Ok, now give me those gold."

Seeing that Richard agreed, John gave the golds to him like an obedient child. But inside he is laughing at how he just played a bad old man. This will be funny.

After receiving the golds, Richard immediately put it inside his pocket. After making sure that it's safe in there, he smiled and approached John. He leaned on his ear and whispered.

At first he is blabbering about some nonsense but after that he is starting to tell how he did it.

'It is about time' thought John,

He then used his multiplying powers to multiply the sound of Richard's voice for all the people in the crowd to hear, including the guards.

".... I just change it into sand. And you know hahaha, they did not notice…" Richard keep blabbering about how funny it is and how stupid they are. He did not notice that all the people in the surrounding looked at him with negative emotions.
