Hundred Times Income Multiplier System



"After we enter the Stronghold, I will make arrangements for the cars to come in." Samantha replied. Although she did not understand why Jack cared much about cars that were of a lower standard compared to those that were found in the stronghold, still, since it was his wish, then, she was going to follow it.

Jack nodded. After that, Samantha then led the way towards the city that was located outside of the stronghold. From here, they could see the tall walls of the stronghold. It was just that they were about 5 km away from the Stronghold. So, they could only see the visage of the tall walls.

For them with whom the weakest was Samantha, being seven times stronger than normal humans, five kilometers was not something difficult to cover. So, the group began walking towards the stronghold. The city that they were going to was just about a kilometer from the stronghold.

That was the closest the people from the stronghold could allow them. They were so much used to acting high and mighty in front of the mercenaries. Since even the weakest in the stronghold was stronger than any mercenary, that was something that they were so proud of.

In a little over forty minutes, the group of four finally arrived in front of a city that was not that far from the tall stronghold walls.

Jack and the rest that were arriving here for the first time looked at the city. Although the buildings here were not as tall as those from Kartu city, but, they were both magnificent and exquisitely designed. The streets were unusually clean, completely unexpected of a city that was mainly dominated by mercenaries.

The group entered the city under the curious gazes that came from the group of mercenaries. Nighttime was already setting in and it was a surprise that there was actually a group of people that were arriving at the city at this time. Normally, at a time like this, there would be no more people that would be coming to the city.

"Hey, don't you think that this group looks like an easy target?" A mercenary that had only entered the stronghold domain today asked as he looked at Jack's group with greed in his eyes. Jack's group was composed of three beauties and a young man. Apart from the beauties that had caught his eye, there was another fact that the way that they were dressed was enough to tell that they were rich.

Although it might be true that the city was in order, but, robbery and other crimes could still be committed, in the dark mostly. As for fights, that was something that happened occasionally. Now that Jack's group was mainly composed of a young man that did not look like much, as well as three ladies, the guy thought that they were the best target.

The guy that was beside him looked at him as if he was looking at a fool. Then with a slight sigh, he said, "Clement, although it's true that strength reigns here, you have to know how to choose the targets that you are going to make a move on."

"Huh? Is there something wrong? Is that group not just composed of a brat and a few girls? How strong can they be?" The guy asked, confused.

"They seem like an easy target just from looking at them. But, if you make a move, you have to be ready to die. Do you think that just anyone can come to the stronghold? You are naïve if you think like that. Just looking at their frames, we can see that they are not bulky at all. But, how did they come in?" The guy explained.

The guy called Clement was even more confused when he heard that. He thought of something and asked, "Did they sneak in?"

The other guy palmed his forehead. This Clement was really an idiot. Still, he went ahead and explained, "What sneaking in? Do you think that just anyone can sneak in? Anyway, you will not understand. This group must be related to the stronghold. Otherwise, there is no way that they would have come in here with the way that they look. Moreover, just look at the time, do you think that just anyone can enter the stronghold at this time."

The guy seemed enlightened. At the same time, he felt that he was lucky that he did not do anything stupid or he would not even know how he had died.

He was not the only one that had seen Jack's group arriving. From the direction that they were coming from, it was clear that they were not coming from inside of the stronghold.

But still, there was not even one of them that made a move against them. Most of the mercenaries had been here for a long time now. For that reason, they knew who they could target and who not to. Just from the way that Jack's group was walking so carefreely, they were clearly not afraid of the muscular and armed mercenaries.

…

Samantha was familiar with this place. During the time that she had yet to become a guardian in the Butterfly organization, she had made several trips to this city. There was even a time that she was forced to stay here as there was a problem in the stronghold that she didn't want to face.

Although the city was majorly dominated by mercenaries, there were a lot of services that were offered here. There were hotels, inns, bars, casinos and other stores that mainly dealt with selling weapons.

Samantha selected the best inn and booked three rooms. One for Jack, another for Celine and finally, the last one for herself and Denali. She then paid as the money that was required here was the same as the one that was used outside the stronghold domain.

….

The following day..

A group of mercenaries finally managed to enter into the stronghold domain. This group was emitting a fearsome amount of pressure that could easily scare a normal human. The majority of them had stern expressions on their faces as they walked. Moreover, they all had discipline, as if they were part of some military.

Amongst this group of twenty-three mercenaries that was made of men, there was an exception that completely stood out in that group. She had short blonde hair with a slim figure that looked different from the bulky bodies that the other mercenaries had. She was currently wearing tight black leather pants and a leather Jacket that matched. In her hands, she was twirling a military grade dagger that looked extremely sharp.

She was completely different. There was a curious expression on her cold face as she looked at the city in the distance. Although she seemed carefree, there was none of the mercenaries that looked down on her.

"Brother, what are we supposed to do now that we are here? I really want to get stronger and faster. There is still someone that I want to teach a lesson after we go out of here." The lady stated as she looked at the man that was walking beside her.

This guy had some thick beard that was covering his face as well as kempt blonde hair that was combed backwards. He had a stern expression on his face, just like the rest of the mercenaries.

He was wearing a combat vest on top of a black short-sleeved t-shirt that revealed his bulky arms, while holding a riffle in his left hand, the body of the gun leaning on his left shoulder.

The guy looked at the lady that was walking beside him and sighed helplessly. Although he was always stern in front of the group that he was leading, he could not do the same in front of his younger sister. This sister of his was at times stupid, although he admired her bravery and dedication. Still, she was the one that could make him feel helpless.

"Ivy, why don't you just let me take care of that issue for you? Although his family may be strong, but, I too have some connections. So, it will definitely not be difficult for me to deal with him." The guy suggested as he looked at his sister.

"No way! I have hands of my own and I definitely can beat him if I want. It's just that, I myself am not that strong to deal with his family. Otherwise, I would have beaten him up already. That's why I want to get stronger so that I can deal with everything by myself." Ivy responded stubbornly.

Her brother sighed. He had already tried several times telling her that he could take care of the problem for her. But, the stubborn girl didn't want that. She wanted to deal with every trouble that she caused by herself. That was the reason why she had been working so hard, to become stronger.

Once she knew that she could grow stronger when she came to the stronghold domain, she pestered him to let her come over. Although he was reluctant to do that, he still brought her over due to her continuous pestering.

"Whatever. Just make sure that you don't train so hard that you ignore your health, okay?" he stated after a moment of silence.

"I don't need you to tell me that! I'm not a small girl anymore. I know what to do. So, just don't worry much about me." Ivy replied with a pout. In front of her brother, she could act all spoiled. But in front of others, her image was completely different.

The group was just about to enter the small city when someone intercepted them. The brows of the leader of the mercenary group creased together as he looked at the guy with a black mask covering the lower part of his face.

The newcomer gave them no chance of speaking as he looked at the leader of the group and said, "Daniel, you are needed."
