"Who the hell are you!? What are you doing here!? Guards! Guards!"
One of the people sitting at the table immediately stood up and shouted angrily. He was shocked by the sudden appearance because he didn't even see the girl move! The man just saw a flash of lightning before there was someone sitting on top of their table, and that freaked the hell out of him!
He called for the guards outside to come and get rid of the girl, but he remembered that Mark had beaten the shit out of them before coming in here, and he just decided that it would be better to take a few more steps back.
They didn't pay him enough to deal with this much shit. First, he was removed as a member of the board, and now this? If this is how things are going to be when Mark takes over the company, then maybe it is better for him to just leave the company on his own. He is just a normal human, so he can't deal with all his superhuman nonsense!
Mark and the girl completely ignored everyone else in the room as they just stared right at each other. The girl still had that grin on her face, and Mark was staring up at her stoically without giving away anything from his expression.
Mark knew that this girl was a superhuman. And she wasn't just a superhuman, she was strong. The girl looked to be around his age, but from the way that she carried herself and from the amount of power that he could feel coming off her in waves, Mark could tell that she was at least an S-rank superhuman.
"You know, if you keep staring at me like that, I'm going to start thinking you've fallen in love with me at first sight, GHOST."
The girl's infectious grin only grew as she continued staring right into Mark's eyes, and Mark narrowed his eyes at her as his own grin also started to grow on his face. He didn't know why, but he just knew that someone like this would be difficult to talk to. She seemed like the kind of person who only appreciated violence.
Mark finally spoke up.
"What do you want?"
Bzzt!
Lightning started to dance on the girl's skin, and all the other people in the room immediately took steps away from her as they were terrified of what the lightning could do to them if it touched their skin. Mark never lost that grin on his face as he stood up calmly. He gently took off his outer jacket and handed it to Ryan at the side before he began to loosen his tie.
The girl was only getting more and more excited as she watched Mark, and Mark was certain that this could only end one way.
"Well, you see, the lightning never lies to me. Right now, the lightning is telling me that you're the strongest I've ever seen. I want to see if that's true for myself!"
"Is that so? Well, fuck your stupid lightning and come over here so I can pound you!!"
Ping!
Mark's system suddenly pinged a new mission for him, and he barely caught a glance of it from the corner of his eye!
...
New Mission: Defeat the child of Zeus
A child of Zeus wishes to test your power for her own amusement and has tracked you down. Fighting her is inevitable. Defeat her and show her that you are superior.
Success:
[The user has subconsciously reduced his own strength based on the perceived level of his opponent.]
[The user has subconsciously limited his own power output to 60%] (A/N: Please don't bring the pitchforks out just yet. I'll talk about this in the author's comment below.)
...
Mark was not going to involve the regular citizens living in the city in his fight, so he decided to use the forest for the fight since there would be no one in there.
Zoom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The girl broke through multiple buildings before she reached the forest!
SLAM!!
She tore through more than fifteen trees, and she even dug a deep hole into the side of a small mountain as she was passing it before she managed to stop herself as she held onto a tree behind her. But she didn't have time to rest as Mark was right in front of her once more with his arm drawn back and a wide smile on his face! The girl blinked in shock!
How the hell did he cover that distance in that time!? I flew more than a hundred kilometers!
BOOM!
She managed to duck to the side just as Mark released a life-ending punch that would have definitely taken her head off, and she whistled as she saw an entire row of trees get obliterated from Mark's punch.
Mark had rolled up his sleeves, and his tie was loose around his neck with a few buttons undone, so he had a lot more freedom to move around compared to when he was still wearing the full suit! Immediately after Mark saw that she dodged the punch, he blitzed toward her and grabbed her by the back of her head!
Slam!
Mark slammed her face into a tree in front of him with intense force before he brought her back and tossed her like a ragdoll toward another large tree!
Slam!
Her back slammed into the tree, and Mark calmed down a bit to watch her as he hadn't seen her move for some time. He loosened his tie a bit more so that it was barely hanging over his neck, and he opened one more button on his shirt to give himself more breathing space.
"Hehehehehe. You're really just as strong as everyone says you are. I don't think I've taken this kind of punishment in a long time."
Mark was surprised when he suddenly saw the girl getting up from the floor. She had this look of excitement on her face that troubled Mark just a little for some reason. It wasn't that he was scared, but he just didn't think that a look like that was normal for someone who just had their face pummeled against a tree.
There was blood leaking from her nose, and she brought her tongue out and licked it happily with a smile still on her face. From how she was looking at Mark, he could swear that she looked like she was about to eat him.
