Chapter 94 Learning How TO Throw Fists

From the moment I confirmed that the system was real and I had truly travelled back in time, I had decided that I was going to live life a lot more differently than before and one of the rules I had made for myself was not to get too entangled with any woman. If I wanted to be free and be able to easily access multiple women, then entering into commitments was out of the option. Not only that, but despite the years, the trauma from my ex-wife still held strong in me, I had loved and trusted her with all my being only to be betrayed in the worst ways. I didn't think I would ever have a problem with this decision but from starting to worry and care about Lucy who I hadn't seen in a while. Right now, I just wanted to keep Valera in my embrace and not let even the sun hit her. Feeling Valera tremble in my arms, I was hit with a strong urge to kiss Valera and when she looked up at me, stunned by my words, I claimed her lips. "You're mine." Though her eyes still carried confusion, Valera nodded her head and buried her head back in my chest while I looked at the two men who were getting impatient with our antics. "I told her to call over a relative and she instead called her boyfriend" one of the guards said stepping forward with a very unhappy expression. I don't know whether the employer at the hotel had a thing for comedy or if it was just a coincidence but whereas the security man who stepped forward was bald and had a big belly, the other guard was slim and had a head full of hair. The bald guard marched forward wanting to say more but before he could let out a word, his colleague hurriedly moved forward and grabbed his arm. The two guards shared a look which only they could understand, the slim guy shaking his head as he glanced at me and then the bald guy grumbled and turned to me. "Your ungrateful girlfriend here got into a fight with her classmate who invited her to this resort. She beat up her friends when they tried to intervene, did the same to an outsider who tried to intervene and then destroyed an expensive painting. You say you'll call the police, well go ahead, but that's the story. You can ask her." "And is that why you bound her up and kept her in here like a prisoner," I asked with an edge to my tone and to the surprise of both Valera and the slim security officer, the bald man stepped back in fear. "Sorry." He muttered his body trembling. "Take off her cuff," I said while internally applauding myself for the successful use of mental. Since the system had denied handing me information about my budding abilities, I decided to explore what I was capable of on my own. Just as I naturally commanded my hands and legs to unleash strength and speed, I figured I might be able to do the same for mental and so tried it. As is spoke to the security guard, I inflicted fear upon his mind and in just this one successful attempt, I found myself learning new information. Using my mental on someone was akin to me throwing a punch at them but rather than my using my fist, I used my emotions and how strong this emotion was depended on how much of it I had experienced and to what levels. My episode with Mark and Anna had made me fear for my life and experience killing intent. Dousing the security guard with a little dose of it was no problem. "I feel like I'm not being effective with how I channel out my emotions though." [Ding! +1 mental] Seeing the system message I was first stunned as I had no idea my efforts could raise mental and then I smirked within, assured that I was on the right path and focused back on the situation at hand. Walking over to us, the guard hastily took off Valera's cuffs and when the girl's arms were freed, I lifted her chin so she looked up at me. "Those things he said, were they the truth." "Yes. I'm sorry" Not convinced I wanted to interrogate Valera more but her eyes were quickly becoming teary so I changed my mind. "How much is the painting." "Plus damages she caused to her victim, everything is $23000" "You bastard, you're just trying to extort us..." Valera moved from me and turned to the guard aggrieved but I silenced her. "Valera!!" Despite my threat of calling the police and my arrangement with the receptionist, I didn't want to escalate things, most especially for Valera's sake. If things were to go further than this, and it turned out she really did assault her friends and a stranger, then irrespective of her reasons he would be on the wrong side and her mother would be hearing of this. For now, I would rather settle things peacefully and then talk to her again later. It was never too late to get for her justice. "I'll pay the $23000 and add $2000 for your troubles is that okay" My words stunned the guards but just as the baldy wanted to get out a word, iI threw him a glare "Don't push it" My stare along with a dose of fear had the man gulp and nod but just as I moved to take out my checkbook, the door was opened and a well-refined man walked in his ash suit grabbing even my attention. "Mr Lambert" both guards call out in surprise, their tone very respectful. "How can we help you sir" the slim quickly asked making a light frown appear on the baldy's face. "Nothing much, I came because I noticed Mr Lawson enter here and hoped all was right. Looking at the situation though, all doesn't seem to be right, what happened to that you lady." The smile which had been on both men's faces turned into a stressed look and a sudden tension filled the room as Lambert's eyes narrowed. "Sir it's complicated" the baldy began but Lambert raised his hand and silenced him. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Mr Lawson is a special guest of the resort and so is his guest." The eyes of both men widened as they knew they were in trouble but couldn't understand how they had gotten into this mess, yet their woes weren't over. "After I leave, the both of you will report to the general manager who I will soon be meeting and explain this situation. Looking away from the two men, Lamber looked at me apologetically "Mr Lawson, I apologize for this disgusting incident and promise to get to the bottom of it."
