Chapter 39: James Dragonheart

"Little girls shouldn't have a mouth as foul as yours. You're going to ruin your beauty with that mouth if you keep talking like that."

Mark had a serious soft spot for children and he just couldn't help himself when he saw the little girl and how cute she was! She looked like she came straight out of a fairytale with her giant teddy bear and her long blue hair!

"Let go, you barbarian!"

The girl sent a fist at Mark and it slammed into Mark's face, but it didn't even make him budge as if there was no power behind it at all! Mark raised a brow and the girl shouted at him to drop her this instant! She wasn't a little girl and she could do whatever she wanted! Mark only smiled at her enthusiasm before he dropped her to the ground and pat her on the head! She was too cute!

The little girl screamed in anger as Mark pat her head and she started to jump to get his hand away from her! What was he doing!? It took her very long to make her hair in the morning! Her grandfather would comb her hair for her for more than twenty minutes before it became like this! He was ruining it!

The little girl would never say that it felt nice when Mark pat her head! She liked the feeling a lot, but she would never tell him that! She only glared at Mark and kicked his shin in anger!

Bam!

The force of that kick would have been enough to break the leg of anyone else immediately! Talia might only be a little child, but she was still regarded as an A-rank superhuman and she was stronger than any human could ever hope to be! But against a superhuman like Mark who specialized in tempering his body, the kick was nothing! Mark just smiled at her anger and ruffled her hair again!

"I didn't think that you would only have this much power, GHOST. You've been fighting against Anima for four years and you've amassed a lot of skill, but you are barely strong enough to push me back!"

"The subjugation team is planning to raid the island at nightfall today. There has been too much movement from the Anima there and we don't intend to let them make it to the shore before we do something about it. If you join the NSA then I'll allow you to join the subjugation team. But if you don't, then I'll lock your registration to the NSA and restrict your movement for the next twenty-four hours. We will go to this island and clear it out, but you will not be allowed to join us."

Boom!

Mark's mana surged across his entire body as he got right in James' face!

James' eyes widened as he noticed that Mark moved faster than before! Was Mark holding back even more of his power during their fight?

Mark was ready to beat the crap out of James right then and now! Why are these people so annoying? They just kept trying to piss Mark off and they were using Arit's life as collateral just to try and make him join them!? Is that how desperate they are to make an enemy of him!?

James and Mark were caught in an intense stare-down as great pressure filled the entire room.

"Stop!!! Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Talia immediately noticed that they both were going to start fighting again and she shouted at them not to even try it! She was not going to let them fight and they would have to go past her if they wanted to start again! Talia ran into their middle and raised her hands wide as she prevented them from getting close to each other!

Mark glared hard at James as he bared his teeth at him!

"I don't care if the entire country tries to stop me from going to that island, nothing is keeping me away and I'll kill anyone that stands in my way. And when I'm done doing whatever the fuck I want, I'll leave this country and go to Japan! I'll join their NSA and help them instead just so I can keep fucking you over from the other side of the world!"
