Tower Ascension

"Huh!"

For a moment, Peter couldn't react to this blunt rejection. As a waiter in the restaurant, he understands having one negative impact on the customer is ten times worse than having hundred fewer customers than usual.

Customers are supposed to be the gods for any running business unless the business is a monopoly.

"Do you have Moon Ore?" But, Peter doesn't show any disrespect and asks.

"No Sir, we do not possess such item." The shopkeeper bluntly shook his head.

"Oh yeah! Then, what about that?" Peter points to the silver glowing crystal that was placed as an attraction and spoke.

"Sir, we can't sell them to you." The shopkeeper once again speaks bluntly making Peter irritated.

"Can I know why?" Peter asks.

"Sir, our God has told us not to sell any resources. And, you will soon be apprehended for stealing his skills."

Splash! Thud!

As soon as his words finished, Peter takes out the sword in his hand and sliced his head away from the neck. The blood-spattered on his clothes as he muttered "Another pair of clothes are wasted."

Then, he turns around and says "Alice, bring that Moon Ore along with every valuable item you can find in the store."

"I am fu*king bored with pretending to be a good person."

Saying so, he looks over the dumbfounded, scared, faces of the crowd and says "Citizens of Floor Zero! I know that I won't get any EXP by killing you guys. But, it doesn't matter. Now, I am freakishly furiously."

"I will give you all a single chance. Bring every valuable thing that you have to me and then you can leave to where you want to go."

As soon as his words resounded in the entire crowd. One of them shouted

"Hey, why do we have to listen to you? Is it just because you are a climber?"

"Fire Sprint!"

Boom!

Suddenly, Peter raises his hand and condensed the flames at his finger. The flame took the shape of a water drop and gushed towards that man. On the way, it suddenly accelerates and hits the man with a great impact. The explosion smashed the man into the nearby house, breaking his bones and covering him and burnt and blood.

"I wasn't telling you that because I was a climber. I gave you a damn order because I am strong. Now then, ladies to the left and gentlemen to the right. And, if you lack that thing to be a man or woman, you can stand in the middle."

"Everyone can come forward in line and put everything in front of me. By the way, if you dare to put the wastes in front of me. One waste would be equal to the lives of seven people!"

The crowds instantly turned silent with fear. At the same time, Peter activates his Greed. Originally, he was trying to become a gentleman but it seems it won't work. After all, he could bear others staring at Alice with ill intention but he can't bear someone looking at him with the same intention.

And, why the hell do they have to be this blunt in his face? Couldn't they act more like a gentleman and politely refuse him?

"Peter, this is everything valuable I found inside the store. Except for these items, there are six thousand gold coins." Suddenly, Alice walked out of the store with a large bag filled with several moon ores and other items and a pouch filled with gold coins.

Peter nods his head with a smile while patting her head. He took the gold coins into his inventory while turning his head at the crowd.

"I will count to a hundred. If you don't come with your valuable items, I will take the action."

At this moment, Peter had a clear idea in his head. He wanted to use these items to buy more resources to train his Lesser Demon Transformation. Demon Blood is one of the major resources to condense the internal energy inside his body.

After fighting against the wolves, he naturally gained an understanding of level difference. Originally, he thought he could face the wolves with ease especially with his new skills but it turned out he was completely wrong.

Unless he increases his physical attributes, those skills can only help him on the offense. That means he could defeat them with a single strike but the same thing will happen to him. He will get slaughtered if they heavily attack him.

In other words, if his opponent can improve their offense like him, he will get butchered like those tree monsters, goblins, and wolves.

The citizens looked at each other and started a discussion.

'Humph! He is just like other climbers, showing off his powers when he has.'

'Let's go back and call the nobles.'

'Yeah, they can take care of the situation.'

'But during that time, let's try to bring our valuable stuff so that we can buy more time.'

'Yes, let's do that.'

As they said so, they scattered. Everyone returned to their shops and started collecting the items.

"They are planning to buy time for the nobles to arrive." Alice sneaked near Mike and asked whispered.

"It seems so. I thought I could frighten them with my strength. But, it seems I can take some measures." As he said, Peter walked towards one of the shops.

"What do you plan to do?" Alice curiously looked at his face and asked.

"Originally, I thought I could become a gentlemen bandit. But now, I want to be a cruel bandit." As he said, Peter walked in front of the door and raised his leg.

Bang!

With a single kick, he broke the door frightening the people who were trying to call the nobles. Suddenly, Peter thought 'Having a gun in this situation would be the best. But I can still work it out with the sword.'

Splash!

Peter's eyes turned cold as the Stone Heart started taking over his mind. He raised his hand with the sword and slashed forward. His sword chopped the shopkeeper's hand.

"Ahhhhh!"

As soon as his hand got chopped, the shopkeeper shouted in agony. Suddenly, his wife stood in front of him with tears falling down her cheeks and shouted "You devil! Our god will punish you for being this cruel. You are a monster."

"You!!" As soon as Alice heard her words, she fired up as she tried to attack the woman but Peter stopped her. He looked at the middle-aged man and said "You are wrong. I am not a devil."

"Do you know the difference between you and me? I will never be cruel to an innocent child or adults or even an old person. I won't loot them nor will I kill them. But, only on one condition, if they are innocent."

"Do you think you guys are innocent? SHE FREAKING LOST HER PARENTS IN THE HANDS OF A SCUM. AND, WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO? NOTHING! YOU GUYS JUST WATCHED."

"Why? Because she looked at the noble. Then, let me ask you if your so-called god couldn't defeat the administrator, would you worship him? No, you won't. You don't worship that man. You just worship his strength. And, what am I doing?"

"I am installing fear. I am making you scared. I am slashing my sword at you. Why? Because I have the strength. But, I can't defeat your so-called god. And, I am also scared of him. But I don't give the damn. Because that guy is at the top and he can't come at the bottom."

"So, I can't bury him six feet under the ground that means I must climb to the top to drag him down to the hundred feet under the tower."

As he said, he turns around to Alice and says "Bring all the gold coins they have."

Alice nods her head and hurriedly rushed to the counter to gather all the gold coins. After a minute, she walked behind Peter with a pouch of gold coins. Peter nods his head and walked away with Alice. They soon entered the next shop and looted them.

While walking around, he kept his Greed on. It was slow but his EXP kept on improving until it reached 800. Only five minutes had passed but Peter decided to leave. They have already looted the five biggest shops, collecting nearly twenty thousand gold coins. That's the same as having twenty mana coins.

He wanted to loot more but time was pressing. He had to reach the information office and enter the black market. He picked up Alice in his back and sprinted to the Information Office. It took him ten minutes to do so.

As soon as he entered the information office, Miya greeted them with a pretty smile on his face. As soon as he reached in front of Miya, he raised his sword and pointed near her neck.

Kacha! Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!

Suddenly, dozens of machines unfolded and formed guns at the top of the corner of the wall, all pointing at Peter. But, Peter didn't blink and said "If it wasn't for my stupidity, I would have used it."

"Unfortunately, you still won't be able to kill me." Miya slightly narrowed her eyes but still gave a charming smile while she spoke.

"Want to try?" Peter actively moved his sword but suddenly, Miya raised her hand in the speed untraceable by him.
