They saw Jamie being lifted in the air and then being slammed into the hard concrete ground.

They were stunned. Everything had happened so fast that they hadn't seen what had just happened.

With a dark look on his face, Max lifted his foot and slammed it towards Jamie's head.

Jamie watched the foot descend, a resigned look appearing on his face. He was unwilling to die right now. He had yet to avenge his younger sister.

However, the impact had briefly paralyzed him. So, no matter how unwilling he was or how much he wanted to dodge, he had no choice but to watch helplessly as Max's foot descended and took his life.

Bang!

The foot heavily landed, creating a loud banging noise, however, it didn't land on his head but right beside it.

Jamie looked at Max, stunned. Just when he was thinking why he didn't kill him, he saw Max look down at him, pity clear in his eyes which made his heart burn, and heard him say.

"Don't throw your life away for someone unworthy. Now, I'm giving you another chance, become my subordinate and you'll get whatever you truly desire."

…

Max really wanted to kill him.

Not only did he disrespect him by ignoring his question in the beginning, and made it clear he wanted to take his mother away, he also did not back down when he showed him he was stronger than him and instead chose to attack him.

But the only reason he did not do so was because at the last moment, a system screen had appeared in front of him.

[Alert! An urgent quest has been issued!]

[Quest: Make Jamie Ryder submit and take you as his master.]

[Quest Rewards: One stat adjustment opportunity.]

[Punishment Upon Failure: None]

[Accept (Yes)/(No)]

After seeing what the reward was, he changed his mind.

As for why he did it… It was because when he tried to scan Jamie when he saw him, he had failed.

This meant Jamie was a higher level person, and seeing how the bullets couldn't kill him, he was also proficient in some martial arts.

Realizing this, Max guessed that despite his 33 points in physical, he wouldn't be his match, especially because Jamie seemed like a seasoned fighter.

So, when Jamie made it clear that he was going to take Sarah away despite his somewhat mellow attitude, without hesitation, he put all the Harem Points he earned from Vivian, and the ones he previously had into his physical.

Then, he bitterly endured the agonizing pain on his slow walk to Jamie. He could feel he had become a lot stronger, but he could hardly control all that power.

This was why he simply extended his hand, placed it on his shoulder and pressed down.

Just this simple action had almost caused his skin and muscles to tear up, but fortunately, they did not.

Unfortunately, however, he failed to scare Jamie into retreating, or maybe Jamie had felt that he could defeat him in combat despite Max's superior physical strength, and chose to attack him.

At that moment, he had cursed his bad luck because now he had to exert himself which would result in him getting injured, ironically, due to his own strength.

He wasn't a masochist and thus wasn't a fan of hurting himself, but Jamie was forcing him by attacking him.

Enraged, he threw caution to the wind, grabbed his arm before his punch smashed apart his head, and raised him high in the air before slamming him down with all his strength, knocking out all the air from his lungs.

Though it had been surprisingly easy, and felt really cool, in that moment, he had felt all the muscles from his shoulders to his wrists twist and snap and skin tear apart, effectively crippling his arms.

This enraged him even more and seeing Jamie wasn't dead, he raised his leg and smashed it towards his head.

Just before his foot was about to connect and shatter his head, the system screen appeared, giving him the solution to the problem he created for himself.

Of course, if Jamie refused to submit, he wouldn't mind injuring his remaining uninjured leg to kill him.

…

After Jamie stared at him for a while, he finally opened his mouth and said something that almost made Max want to kill him on the spot.

"Are you sure you are not related to Arthur Williams?"

Max's expression grew colder. This guy wasn't taking him seriously.

Then, suddenly, his pupils constricted as a thought crossed his mind.

'Has he noticed that I can't use my hands and legs to fight now?'

Though he was standing upright and blood hadn't soaked his shirt or pants yet and he also hadn't shown it on his face, he didn't know if a seasoned fighter like Jamie could still notice any abnormality in spite of all that.

As if to prove his fears true, Jamie, upon seeing the slight constricting of his pupils, smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not going to take advantage of your current weakness."

Max stared at him unblinkingly, thinking if he should kill him right now, but right then, Jamie raised his hand and clenched his fingers and twisted his arm around, saying,

"See, I had regained mobility a moment after you finished speaking. If I wanted to, I could have attacked you already."

Max nodded at him in understanding and then expressionlessly asked, "So, what's going to be your answer?"

"Don't kill Samuel Brown, or at least let me have the finishing blow. If you give me your word that you'll do it, I will be willing to serve you." Jamie plainly said.

"Sure. I will let you have the finishing blow." Max agreed.

Jamie sat up and took a knee in front of him, his head lowered, "Then, I'm willing to serve you, Sir Williams."

"Good." Max nodded in satisfaction and glanced at the quest screen.

[Ding! Quest, make Jamie Ryder submit and take you as his master, has been completed!]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have been rewarded with one stat adjustment opportunity.]

[Notice: You can now access your subordinate's information.]

Seeing this, Max sighed in relief and with a thought, pulled up his status screen.

[Level: 4 (0/50→0/75)]

[Physical: 33→75]

[Spiritual: 11]

[Harem: 2→3]

'Hm?' Max raised his brows in surprise.
