Kira took small sips of her Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup, Chicken Flavor, a look of contentment spreading across her face. She savored every mouthful, afraid to gulp it down too quickly.

  Back in the day, she wouldn't have given this ramen a second glance.

  Now, Kira had only two words for it: delicious!

  Her only regret was that Jason Williams had taken a bite out of both the hard-boiled egg and the chicken sausage.

  The guy was such a jerk.

  Of course, Kira only dared to complain about Jason Williams in her head.

  On the surface, she was nothing but respectful towards him.

  Soon, Kira had finished off the entire container of ramen, even slurping up all the broth.

  Still, she felt like she could eat more.

  Jason Williams, seeing Kira was done, stood up and addressed everyone on the van. “Alright, folks, this is a robbery. Hand over all your resources. Don’t make me frisk you.”

  To everyone's stunned gazes, Jason Williams began his shakedown on the bus.

  “Whatcha hiding under that jacket? Gimme that.”

  “Just hand it over. Don’t make me search you. You really wanna test an E-Rank strength?”

  "Hey don't hate David Lee, if I don't take your stuff, how am I supposed to take care of my wife?"

  “If you’re looking for revenge, you’re welcome to try anytime. But I suggest you use those blueprints to trade for Attribute Orbs in the Group Chat App first. Get your strength up to my level, then come at me.”

  Kira watched Jason Williams robbing everyone on the bus, and her jaw dropped.

  Wasn’t he worried about inciting a riot?

  What if he enraged everyone on the bus? He wouldn’t be able to get away with it.

  Just as Kira expected, Jason Williams's actions quickly stirred up anger.

  Someone immediately stood up. “Are we just gonna sit here and let this guy steal the resources we worked so hard to find?”

  “Let’s rush him! All together!”

  Just as everyone was about to rise, Jason Williams made his move.

  Smack!

  Jason Williams suddenly lashed out, slapping the man hard across the face.

  “You got something good hidden, don’t ya? Hand it over now.”

  The man who was slapped felt his head spin and it took him a while to recover.

  Looking at the other passengers in the van, they were all sitting in their seats like good boys and girls, not daring to make a sound while waiting to be robbed.

  Helpless, the man could only pull out a piece of compressed biscuit.

  Jason Williams didn’t believe for a second that this guy only had a biscuit, and immediately performed a forceful search.

  Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.

  He quickly found a blueprint hidden inside the man's jacket.

  [Vehicle Alarm]: 0-Star Vehicle Equipment. Once installed, the vehicle will have an alarm function, protecting against monster attacks at night.

  Blueprints can be manufactured 5 times.

  Materials Needed: 20 Escape Coins.

  Seeing the information on the blueprint, Jason Williams's eyes lit up.

  No wonder the man was so anxious after being robbed, even trying to get everyone to rebel against Jason Williams.

  He really did have something good.

  This blueprint could create five alarms, and selling them in the Group Chat App would definitely bring in a big profit.

  He could even save one use and sell the blueprint to Jason Williams for Attribute Orbs.

  Too bad for him, Jason Williams had now stolen it.

  Jason Williams pocketed the blueprint and slapped the man a few more times.

  Smack, smack, smack…

  “You’re so asking for it, hiding good stuff like that.”

  The man felt wronged and wanted to cry after being slapped.

  Did justice even exist in this world anymore?

  What about the law?

  Were robbers always this arrogant?

  Jason Williams didn’t care about the man’s suffering and continued robbing the others.

  Each time he robbed someone, Jason Williams carefully searched them, afraid of missing anything good.

  After searching everyone, Jason Williams only found some food.

  Jason Williams transferred all of the food to Chloe through the system.

  “Alright, thanks for your cooperation, everyone. If anyone’s got a problem with this, you can come find David Lee for revenge.”

  Before leaving, Jason Williams didn’t forget to stir up more animosity, then he and Kira got off the bus.

  On the highway.

  As the bus drove away, Jason Williams immediately contacted Chloe to pick him up.

  Kira looked at Jason Williams, confused. “Why are we getting off the bus? Are you going to rob other buses?”

  “It’s gonna be nighttime soon. If the bus stops for the night, no one will be able to pick us up…”

  Kira voiced her concerns.

  She had already started thinking of Jason Williams as a highway bandit who specialized in robbing buses.

  Jason Williams smiled and took off his disguise mask. “Relax. I’ve got transportation. Why else would I offer you room and board?”

  Huh!?

  Kira stared at Jason Williams, stunned, as he removed the mask.

  Then she pointed at Jason Williams and exclaimed, “You… you’re Jason Williams!”

  Seeing Jason Williams’s handsome face, Kira immediately recognized him.

  Wasn’t he the campus heartthrob from her college days?

  Kira was first shocked, then overjoyed to discover Jason Williams was her old classmate.

  Meeting someone familiar in the Escape World made her incredibly excited.

  It felt like meeting someone from home in a foreign country.

  “You old dog, you actually ate bread and ramen on the bus to tempt me, take this!”

  After confirming Jason Williams’s identity, Kira’s courage returned.

  Ignoring that Jason Williams was much stronger than her, she grabbed him and tried to trip him.

  Jason Williams was caught off guard.

  He knew Kira had a rough-and-tumble personality, but he hadn’t expected her to immediately try to wrestle him after recognizing him.

  Kira's tripping skills were quite good.

  She knew the right techniques for tripping and using power.

  Jason Williams felt like a badass was clinging to him, and at the same time, Kira's perfume made Jason Williams feel restless.

  Interesting.

  But the difference in strength between them was too great. There was no way Kira could bring Jason Williams down.

  Jason Williams reached out and scooped her up.

  Kira was so shocked.

  She then realized that Jason Williams’s strength was terrifying.

  “Wait, put me down!”

  Kira immediately begged for mercy, struggling in Jason Williams’s arms.

  She had only wanted to trip Jason Williams and get revenge on her old classmate for tempting her with food.

  Jason Williams sneered, looking at Kira struggling in his arms. “You think I’m just gonna put you down because you said so? You wanted to trip me? Looks like I’m going to have to punish you a little.”

  Kira jumped, not knowing how Jason Williams would punish her.

  But the next second, her expression changed dramatically. She struggled wildly in Jason Williams’s arms, laughing hysterically.

  “Hahaha… don’t tickle me, hahaha… let me go, I’m sorry, hahaha…”

  Kira tried to get out of Jason Williams’s arms.

  But Jason Williams wasn’t about to let her off so easily, and kept tickling her ribs.

  Kira’s shapely, muscular legs involuntarily wrapped around Jason Williams’s waist, squeezing tightly.

  To avoid being tickled, Kira laughed while pressing herself against Jason Williams, reducing the area being tickled.

  In the end, they were locked in a tight embrace.

  Whoops!?

  They both realized at the same time that this position wasn’t quite right.

  Jason Williams stopped tickling Kira and, holding the badass in his arms, asked, "Do you yield?"

  "I yield." Kira immediately gave in, but in her heart, she was already planning how to get revenge on Jason Williams in the future.

  Kira tried to get down from Jason Williams, but Jason Williams wouldn’t let her.

  And they just hugged like that, talking about each other's situations.
