Tap Tycoon System!
Chapter 9 Thugs!

After Nathan left the convenience store, he opened the system and checked his progress.

[₱10,000/ ₱10,000]

He finally finished all of his missions so Nathan felt pretty happy with himself.

Then the same notification as last time appeared in front of him.

[Mission Complete! Rewards are about to be distributed.]

Nathan already knows how to get the system rewards without it being said by the system again.

Nathan went to an alley because he doesn't want anyone to see him getting the pill.

Because won't it cause a big trouble if anyone saw him 'conjure' a pill magically out of thin air?

Inside the alley, Nathan raised his hands and the pill fell into his hands.

The pill is colored red with a few black lines around it. It looks pretty cool if you look at it unlike the plain colored Beauty Pill

"So this one is the Body Enhancing Pill? It looks different than the Beauty pill, huh."

After looking at the pill a few times, Nathan directly throws it to his mouth.

Then he was about to walk away, but suddenly, a powerful surge exploded inside him, flowing throughout his whole body.

Nathan almost fell down as he was not prepared for this. He thought that since the Beauty Pill showed its effect without him feeling anything, the Strength Enhancing Pill will be the same.

But it seems like that is a big mistake.

The power inside his body almost felt unbearable that Nathan almost vomited some blood.

Nathan tried to relax his body to control the surging power that seems to be running wild in his body.

With gritted teeth, Nathan did his best to withstand the pain coursing through his muscles, veins, bones and even his very cells.

And because of that, after a torturous five minutes, the power started calming down as it has now been mostly absorbed by Nathan's body.

"Haaa… Haaa… Haaa…"

Nathan is panting hard as he catches his breath. Sweat is running down his body and his clothes have been wet on all sides because of it.

At this time, as Nathan is slowly relaxing, he suddenly gets the urge to vomit. He was not able to hold it and puke on the spot.

"Blurgh"

Black liquid that seems gooey came out of Nathan's mouth, there is even rice and other things that he ate as dinner in there.

The black stuff is exuding an unknown stinky smell that Nathan, who is not even finished vomiting, started to feel his stomach churning again and another round of vomiting started.

A few minutes later, Nathan languidly wiped his mouth.

He felt so drained by those vomiting sessions, that at this moment, Nathan doesn't even want to move anymore.

"I should start being cautious with what I'm going to ingest from now on." Nathan said with a tired face.

Then he looks at his arm and clenches it.

Nathan was able to feel the surging power from inside him when he did so.

"But still, that pill really did the work." He smiled happily.

Because Nathan felt very tired now, he doesn't want to linger here any longer and plans to leave already.

But before he even took a step forward out of the alley, he heard a woman screaming.

"AHHHHHH!"

The scream came from the entrance of the alley, and it was followed by rough and lecherous voices.

"Hehe, don't try to resist girl, I promise you will also enjoy this. Let's just have a good time."

Another voice sounded after that one, just equally lecherous as the previous voice.

"That's right, we'll give you something you will never forget, hehe."

At this time, Nathan saw the shadow of three people coming to the alley.

Until he fully saw the figure of the 3 people.

There are two thugs with tattoos all over their body and strong looking muscles.

With those two is a young lady who is struggling to get out of the grasp of the thugs with tears running down her face.

"Please, please no! Let me go please!" She pleaded for them to let her go but it was to no avail.

The two did not pay any heed to her pleading and just continued to look at her body with disgusting eyes while licking their lips.

All of this was seen by Nathan who just stands there, not moving while looking at them with a heavy frown.

Looking at the two men who are dragging the girl, Nathan remembers the topic of his neighbors who love to gossip just the other day.

'Are these the thugs that the neighbors were talking about the other day?'

As Nathan keeps on staring at them, the three also notice him.

The lady looks at him with pleading eyes, "Help me! Please help me!"

She doesn't know what to do anymore other than plead, repeating the same words everytime.

The other two also look at Nathan, but with hostile eyes.

"What are you doing here, kid? Get out!" Said by one of them aggressively.

"This is not a place for a kid like you. You better leave now before you can't anymore."

The other one has a smirk on his face while saying these words at Nathan, obviously threatening him.

Nathan's frown becomes more pronounced as he listens to the two thugs.

So he said, "Your mouth stinks, don't you guys know how to brush your teeth?"

Then he smirked and added, "Well, looking at you, it is pretty obvious that you two don't even know how to take a shower, what's more brushing your teeth, right?"

Nathan might seem calm on the outside while rebutting the two, but inside him, he is actually reprimanding himself.

'Nathan, oh Nathan! Why did you say that? You should have just left and not get involved with these thugs!'

He even remembers that he said he will try his best not to encounter these villains while heading outside and now here he is, confronting them.
