[Master, the shop will be opening now. Please check it out as a few items inside could help you in this situation.]
Sam looked surprised but not that much as the system had already warned him that the shop would be opening sometime during this week. In front of Sam appeared a page floating in the air, it was light blue with a very futuristic style. It looked like those HUD in science fiction movies, in the middle was a round bead spinning. After a few minutes the bead stopped spinning and lots of items appeared one under the other, there were books, flasks, and even everyday tools and weapons. It seemed like he could even get physical items from the system.
Each item had its price written on the side, the prices were in Energy Value (EV).
He browsed through the expensive part of the shop and was shocked by what he saw
[Level one flying book : 3 000 000 EV.]
...
[Level one invisibly book : 1 800 000 EV.]
...
And there were tons of these fantastic books, soon he went back to the cheap part of the shop, when he saw his available EV he smiled wryly on the top right part of the screen was written :
[Available EV : 879.]
He wanted to ask the system if there were other ways to gain EVs faster but he was in a hurry at the moment so he just looked through the shop. Soon he found an item that could help him.
[X-ray vision eyedrop (1 hour duration) : 59 EV.]
He remembered his middle school days, at that time he and some friends came to this abandoned house at night thinking it was a haunted house. Something he remembered well was that this house was in a miserable state, broken walls, furniture, broken roof parts ; everything was lying on the ground and there were a lot of hiding places in there where these two could hide and ambush him.
This is why he very soon decided on the X-ray vision drop and used it very fast. In total he had spent less than 30 seconds to buy it and he was now in front of the house, he could see through 1 layer of walls at most so he couldn't see the rooms in the back but it was enough to avoid an ambush so he went inside while checking every corner, he arrived in a long corridor, at least 10 meters long and he saw something that he didn't expect. The corridor had at least 5 rooms on each side, in each room was waiting at least 1 person. There were rooms with 2 people waiting, they all had either a bat or a metal pipe. These guys really wanted him dead, if he didn't break at least a few legs he wouldn't feel good.
He couldn't do anything against them like this, he thought of throwing a canister of teargas he found on the shop to make them go out on their own but Em' might be somewhere inside and he didn't want to make her go through the pain.
He had two options, either fight his way in or sneak and find Em. At this moment his phone rang and alerted all the hidden guys, it was a call from Leo. He picked the call, they already knew that he was here, he couldn't use the sneak in strategy and had to fight them all. With very fast movement he opened the store and bought a level 2 boxing book for 150 EV, at the moment it was the best thing he could buy. He expected the level 2 boxing book to bring him at the level of a regional champion at least, this way he could defeat them in very fast movements.
He didn't answer the call but took a few steps forward, when he was in front of the first door all the doors were flung open and a dozen of guys rushed toward him, Sam didn't wait for the furthest to arrive and rushed toward the nearest, the were two ; both were holding metal pipes, the first guy waved the pipe toward Sam's head but the second one couldn't attack as the corridor was too small, if he waved his weapon he'd hit his friend first.
Sam saw this and realized that even if they were a lot they couldn't fight him all at the same time in this confined space so in the end it was like doing lots of 1 versus 1 in a row.
'These guys are really stupid to not think about this in advance...'
He dodged the guys pipe and threw a foot toward his chest, the guy flew and landed on his friend behind him. With his 18 strength points it wasn't hard for him to send a guy flying with a kick, he walked toward them and grabbed the guy that had been thrown.
Then he took the metal pipe and broke it in half using his knee, now both sides of the pipe were sharp enough to kill someone. He threw the second part behind him to avoid one of the remaining guys to use it against him and put the second part at the guy's throat.
« Now you guys will tell me where are Leo and Tony or else this guy will die. »
The guys looked at him mockingly until one of them took a step forward and said
« Can you really kill him ? If you do you'll go to prison and your little sister will be left alone. »
This guy was probably close to Tony and Leo as he knew that Sam's only family was Em...
« You're right, I cant kill him. »
Sam kept the pipe but went in front of the hostage and used his foot to break his leg in two at the knee.
« Aaaaaaaah !!!!!! It hurt !!! »
The guys weren't expecting him to go this far, the leader that spoke earlier took a step back, you could see dread in his eyes as he looked at Sam. He had just crippled a guy but his expression was neutral, he didn't seem to feel anything from his action.
"After this leg it will be the other leg, then it shall be both arms. How about you tell me where they are before your friend have to lie in a bed for the rest of his life ?"
The "leader" hesitated a bit before pointing outside
"In the garden behind the house."
Sam kept the hostage and the metal pipe and went through the group, after getting out of the corridor he could see them both through the last wall. Leo was holding his phone while looking angry and Tony was just leaning on a chair, Em was seated near him playing a game on a phone.
Sam went through the door and looked at them viciously.
"Big brother ! Tony gave me his phone to play a game while we were waiting for you !"
It seemed like they did nothing to his little sister but when she got up from the chair and wanted to go to Sam, Tony grabbed her arm and said.
"Sit down Emma, you cant go there right now."
"You motherf**** ! Answer me when I call you, did you forget all the times I beat you up after winning against me once ?!"
It was Leo that was speaking with without his missing teeth it made a whistling sound every time he expired.
" Watch you mouth in front of my sister, what do you guys want ?"
He wanted to beat them up but Em's arm was grabbed by Tony, he doubted that they'd do anything to her but it was better to be cautious.
« Nothing much, you'll kneel down and apologize, then I'll beat you up and break both your legs to avoid revenge. »
« What happens if I refuse ? »
When he said that Tony took a knife and put it on Em's throat.
« Aaaah big brother save me !! He want to kill meeee ! »
Said Em while screaming and crying loudly, Sam couldn't let them do her any harm so he very fast said
« Wait Wait, take off the knife I'll obey you. »
When the knife was far enough from Em, Sam opened the shop and scrolled mentally until he arrived at the 500 EV, there was a brown handgun there, a Beretta. Sam made a grabbing motion to the back pocket of his jeans and aimed at Leo's head with his new gun, he made the grabbing motion to make them believe that he always had the gun on him.
Both guys looked scared but then Leo said
"What is this toy ? You thought you'll scare me with that ? Hahaha so naive !"
Sam aimed toward the sky, turned off the safety using his thumb and pressed the trigger.
"Boooom!"
A flash came out of the gun followed by an enormous sound, Sam felt like this sound could even be heard from the nearest police station. Even if they couldn't hear it the neighbors will call them so he had to do fast, both Leo and Tony already had their hands in the air afraid that Sam would shoot them.
