Chapter 27 Beating Up The Guard Captain
Despite being born in two different worlds, a common trait of Mark and Lu Zhen is that they dislike people who try to undermine them by showing their authority.
Now that Mark also received Lu Zhen's memories after possessing his body, his hate towards such people is only next to the royal family that abandoned him because he was born without ether energy.
Because it's his favorite customer and the delivery is quite big, Mark tried to do a favor to Song Yue.
However, getting looked down on by a mere gatekeeper hurt his self-esteem. For the sake of three hundred and sixty gold coins, he tried his best to calm down but as soon as the gatekeeper pointed the sword at him, Mark has lost it.
He stopped faking his smile and turned into his original aloof self. Looking at him coldly, Mark gave an order, "Allen, I don't like that blade."
Allen who grabbed the sword used his strength to press it further.
*crack*
As a sound of a crack was heard, the guard captain hurriedly tried to take back the sword. However, only half of it was returned and the other half was in Allen's hand.
The soldiers were taken aback by surprise. The coachman instantly backed away and stood behind Mark in fear.
"You! What have you done? That's a silver-grade sword. Do you know how much it costs?" The guard captain's face turned red in anger. Looking at the Android, he growled as he powered up his body with ether energy, "I will not leave you alive."
"Allen, I don't like him." Mark passed out another order in a cold tone and took a step back. Then, thinking of Allen's identity, he added another instruction as an afterthought. "Just make sure he doesn't die."
As soon as the order is passed, Allen didn't waste any time to dash forward and punch his face.
His nose was punctured instantly as he flew back a couple of meters. A couple of soldiers caught him at the perfect time and the remaining ones withdrew their weapons.
"Argh…" Screaming in pain, the guard captain gave the order.
However, before they took two steps forward, Allen leaped towards the captain, and this time, a powerful kick was planted in his stomach.
The guard captain spits a mouthful of blood as he crashed onto the gate.
? The force behind Allen's kick is so strong that not only the gate was burst opened but the guard captain was also knocked out. Along with him, two soldiers were also slightly injured.
This led the remaining three soldiers to go into alert and hurriedly ran away to inform the higher-ups.
Watching the scene, Mark felt his heart was rapidly beating in excitement. "Wow, so, this is the power of an Android?"
Until now, all he knows that Allen was strong on the paper is also fast enough that he can be considered a superman in his past world.
But, watching him overpowering the guard captain so easily, he was really amazed and was, even more, looking forward to gaining such power in the future.
Just then, something else clicked in his mind. "Wait a second. Could it be that this guy is too weak?"
Mark instantly threw the thought away. "No, that can't be possible. He's the leader here, guarding the entrance of this mansion, where the head of a powerful noble clan of Song lives. But, since this arrogant piece of sh*t got knocked out so easily, he must be in the realm of circle-3. Maybe, that's why Allen defeated him so easily."
*Ding! The guard is at the beginner stage of the circle-4 realm.
The system gave quick information as it wanted to remind him that the Android that came from the starter pack wasn't that simple as Mark thought it would be.
Mark was also a little bit surprised by the system's reminder, although not because of Allen's strength but for other reasons.
"System, you never told me that you can inspect others' data. How come I can't see it through the inspection skill?"
*Ding! Host must upgrade his skill level to receive such benefit.
"Tch… what a miser…" Mark put aside his feelings and then asked about Allen's full strength so that he could consider an option of summoning the Battle Tank to protect himself in case this incident offends some higher up in the mansion.
*Ding! Allen Spencer is a perfect battle Android built with absolute control. Based on his current strength, his skill attacks will heavily injure even a 5-circle realm spirit warrior of the fighter path.
Although it was just a couple of sentences written on a holographic screen, somehow, Mark felt like the system was boasting of its creation.
"Okay, got it." Now that he verified Allen's strength with the system, Mark decided to not push this incident furthermore and looked at the two soldiers that are supporting their captain while looking at Allen in hostility.
"You two... Go to the Song clan's princess and tell her to collect her goods at our store." Mark no longer stayed there for two reasons. One is that he decided that he will no longer do door delivery.
Second is that he was worried that a stronger one will come and get defeated, which will bring an even stronger one until he finally makes an enemy out of the Song clan for something like this.
After all, he knew that in a society where nobles and kings have absolute authority, they have too much pride.
He can't escalate the situation unless Allen was strong enough to protect him.
So, in this situation, even if someone knocks on his door because of the incident of harming a gatekeeper, he could let Allen spar them a little bit and hope that they would understand that it isn't in their best interests to try crushing him or his store over nothing.
If such a thing happens, Mark could only swallow the humiliation and pay them back a thousandfold later.
With such a thought in mind, Mark returned to the carriage. Soon, they set off from the place.
Unknown to them, a couple of spies are watching them from the nearby bushes.
They looked at each other. One of them whispered, "Brother Su, I think we should follow this guy. Someone who can cause such a mess because of the slightest agreement can't be a simple person even if he looks like a commoner. Moreover, that stoic-faced warrior looks like an elite."
The other spy nodded in agreement, "you are right. Even I couldn't see his attack. Let's do one thing. You follow that horse carriage. I'll go and inform Young Master Nie."

"What! Who is he? How dare he destroyed the entrance and injure our gatekeeper?" The leader of the Song Mansion's security unit, Yi Fang went into a rage upon hearing that one of his subordinates got injured by someone.
The soldier told him everything that he saw from the start.
Crushing the glass in his hand, Yi Fang stood up on his feet, "Just a mere owner of a small unknown weapon store. If he wasn't taught a lesson, people would think the Song clan is easy to be trifled with. Inform our scouts to find out this store's location."
