Plundering in the Apocalypse

"Au-Aunty." Reina staggered. Her voice was clearly in shock. She suppressed her anger but her shaking didn't stop.

Tom looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"What? Aren't you though. I was still a little respectful calling you Aunty. You old hag."

*Snap*

All her patience snapped at this moment she wanted nothing more than to kill him.

Alfred and Shin felt cold sweat on their backs. Reina would surely not leave those idiots be now.

'Oh no, mom is about to snap. That idiot why did he have to provoke mom. Dad, please stop mom from starting a massacre.' Shin gestured for his father and Alfred nodded in understanding. He knew how terrifying Reina can be and this funky gang of idiots just ignited that fire.

Without realizing Reina's surge of killing intent. Tom continued making his way toward Alice.

Someone did say 'Ignorance is bliss and that was the current situation with the Leander brothers.

Without realizing their impending doom they kept on getting on Reina and Alice's nerves.

Alfred tried his best to stop Reina from going into outrage. Alice on the other hand was calm. But she looked at them as if looking at filth. She was disgusted by them.

'These filths are ruining my mood.'

But before she could take any action she heard Shin's voice.

"That's enough. Don't get anywhere near her. Get lost before things get any serious." Shin warned with a threatening glare which could say he was ready for the kill.

Alice felt her heart thump. Shin stood up for her. She was overjoyed.

'OMG, Am I dreaming?'

'Hehe how nice.'

'Darling is so protective of me.'

'I can't help but smile. It's so embarrassing.'

'Aaah~ I need to control my expression. Okay. Calm down Alice don't show it on your face.'

'Poker face. That's it. Poker face.'

She tried her best to make an expressionless face.

Snapping her out of her thoughts she heard the filth's voice.

"Fuck off loser if you don't wanna die don't mess with us. Leave those girls behind and we will let you guys leave unhurt." Tom said with a menacing smile as he tried to threaten Shin.

Shin had a vein pop out on his forehead. He was already being merciful enough to not kill them and now they dare to annoy and threaten him.

,m 'I've had enough. I should kill them.'

Shin released his pressure on those thugs. He used his predator's eyes with the effect of the Maniac title it was too terrifying. In addition to that, he used gravity manipulation to increase pressure on them. Even though the pressure was not comparable to the Undead tormentor. As his proficiency in that skill as well his mana was low. But it was enough to do the deed.

Those thugs had their legs shaking in fear and they fell to their knees.

"Wha-What going on? What did you do to us bastard?" Tom shouted angrily but fear could be felt in his shaky voice.

"Calm down brother. It must be a trick. Attack him he can't do that for long." Terry said gritting his teeth.

"Ye-Yes." Tom calmed down thinking Shin was playing tricks. There's no way Shin can handle all of them. His skill must be related to intimidating. There's no way he is that strong.

Tom slowly raised his hands towards Shin and shouted with all his strength.

"Air bullet."

The swirling compressed wind shot out of his hand at a terrifying speed. But to Shin with his abnormal agility. The bullet's speed was slow enough to easily dodge.

He just stepped sideways and let the air bullet past him without so much of a scratch. Tom's eyes widened in horror.

Jeremy shouted.

"It was just a fluke take this. Fire Bullet."

A ball of fire swirled on his hands. The embers materialized and shot toward Shin. He was intrigued by this phenomenon.

This is the first time Shin saw someone using fire magic. He always wanted to create fire out of his hands and seeing it happen in front of him made him excited.

While the ball of fire was moving towards him. Shin was in deep thought.

'Should I kill them and obtain their skills. Having magic skills is nice. After all, I'm thinking of improving my mana stat.'

Shin's eyes glinted with greed in them but it soon subsided as he remembered something.

Those thugs thoughts maybe Shin got scared and frozen on the spot. But to their dismay. Shin didn't even bother with that flimsy attack and just waved his hands. Dissipating the ball of fire.

'So what if it's a magic skill their abilities aren't that impressive. But it's still better than nothing.'

Shin thought as he readied himself to kill them painfully. But at that moment he felt a big palm on his shoulder.

Shin turned to look at the familiar hand grabbing his shoulder. It was Alfred.

"What is it, Dad?" Shin had an inkling of what it might be but he asked regardless.

And just as he thought Alfred replied.

"Don't do that Shin. There's no need for unnecessary bloodshed. Let's leave them once. If they come seeking their death again then just do so. The world is changing. We will encounter many insane people, much more than them. We should try to minimize our kills."

Hearing Alfred's words Shin looked at those thugs lying on the ground on their knees with the pressure pinning them down.

'Yeah, they are fools. I need to cool my head. Even if I want their skills and they did annoy me. I can't kill people just for that reason '

He sighed as the pressure thinned.

Leander brothers were finally able to take some breaths.

They looked at Shin cautiously while fear etched on their mind.

"Just get lost before I change my mind and kill you all. I'm super annoyed here. Don't even think about messing with us anymore. Next time I won't hesitate to kill you lots."

All of them nodded and started moving or rather crawling away as their legs were still shaking from fear rendering them unable to walk.

Shin sighed and looked at the others. Everyone was annoyed but the one with the most threatening look was Reina. He gulped and decided to wait for her to calm down.

Alice was expressionless. Shin knew Alice handled herself well. She was a nice girl. She kept her calm even in that situation and didn't get agitated.

'I need to be like her. Calm and collected. I shouldn't let my anger get the better of me.'

But unbeknownst to Shin. He was entirely wrong. The person he was admiring was having the most insane thoughts of all.

As they started walking no one noticed by Alice's pupils had already turned red as she glanced at those thugs and muttered.

"Soul Marker."
