Scanning his updated status, he was left surprised, but then he read the notifications and everything became clear.

Firstly, he had earned 120 Harem Points in total from the two hours of love-making with Vivian, making his Harem Points count 139.

The rest 200 he received when Henry entered the office. At that moment, Vivian's desire to have an affair was satisfied, which earned him the bonus.

Secondly, the reason his [Physical] increased by forty two instead of sixty seven was because after eighty five Harem Points were used up and his physical stats were increased to fifty, the Harem Points needed to increase one stat point had risen from 5 to 10.

So, it took two hundred and fifty Harem Points to increase the stats from 50 to 75.

Thirdly, and the reason for his surprise, the increase in the Harem Points needed to level up was due to him increasing his physical stats beyond what was acceptable for level 4.

Since he had broken a limit, he needed to pay more Harem Points to level up and ensure nothing unexpected happened during the leveling up process.

'So, I can earn bonus Harem Points by satisfying their fantasies? Then why didn't I earn it with Ruth?' He wondered.

'Did I fail to satisfy her fantasies?' He thought, feeling it wasn't the likely reason.

Shaking his head, he used the stat adjustment opportunity, and extracted some of the Harem Points from the [Physical] and put them into [Spiritual], increasing it from 11 to 50.

As a result, the [Physical] fell from 75 to 54.

Immediately, a cooling sensation surged into his mind, giving him an unprecedented clarity of thought. He felt calm and in control. It was an amazing feeling, unfortunately, it didn't last long. Still, he still felt that he was mentally stronger now.

He then slowly clenched his fist.

"Hiss!"

Immediately, a stinging pain shot through him because he had strained his torn muscles and skin.

After the pain subsided, he sighed in relief because even though he still felt some pressure of his surging strength, it wasn't nearly as overwhelming as before.

Glancing at the level progression bar and saw the required points to level up to level 5 had decreased to 60.

'I need to be careful to not accidently break the limits again.' He thought, his brows furrowed.

While he knew increasing his stats as much as he could before leveling up would make him way stronger than others of the same level even if they were awakeners and had practiced martial arts, he felt doing so wasn't a good idea since he didn't have any bottleneck in leveling up and several things only worked well when his level wasn't lacking.

[Discerning Eyes] for example. If he was on the same level as Jamie, he could have seen his information and then, perhaps there would have been no need to fight him to make him submit.

Dismissing these thoughts with an inward shake of his head, he frowned, 'Now, how do I heal these injuries?'

He was about to open the system shop to see if he could find some cheap healing item, when he realized that Jamie was still kneeling in front of him and Jack, Henry and others were still staring at him, wide-eyed.

"Rise." He commanded Jamie before looking at Jack, "Help me to the infirmary."

Jamie stood up, wincing slightly because Max's slam had rattled his bones and almost ruptured his organs.

Snapping back to his senses, Jack rushed over, feeling slightly confused about the order.

But when he came closer, he noticed Max's sleeves and one leg of his pants seemed wet. Then he noticed some blood pooled around his foot on the ground and his pupils constricted and he subconsciously glanced at Jamie.

"Don't worry about him. He won't harm us now." Max said, his voice calm, "Just hurry up and take me to the infirmary. I need to get patched up before I lose too much blood."

"Yes, Sir." Jack nodded, and came over to support him before leading him away. Jamie followed after them, staring at Max's back in confusion.

Did he really believe him so much to risk his life?

Henry and others watched them leave before someone looked at the puddle of blood Max left behind and then place where Jamie was slammed and asked.

"How come Sir Max got injured when that burly guy was the one who got the beating?"

"Don't know. Maybe he was already injured before? You know, it mustn't have been easy to kill almost a hundred people all on his own." Someone else muttered.

Henry stared in the direction Max and others left, his brows furrowed in thought.

'Just what happened during that split second?'

He, for sure, knew Max wasn't injured beforehand because not only had he seen him after he was done killing all those people outside, just earlier, he had been having sex and from the state of the room and how sweaty he was, he had exerted himself quite a bit. How could an injured person do that?

Thinking about what he had seen in the office, he became distracted and his breathing rate increased.

"Hey, Officer Henry. You alright?" The person standing next to him nudged him, a little concerned upon noticing his unusual behaviour.

"Ah, yeah. I'm alright. I was just thinking about something." Henry said before saying, "Alright, you guys. I'm going home now. You keep watch. If something happens, do alert me and others."

"Sure. Go ahead, man."

…

In the infirmary, Max had Jack take off his clothes and wrap his hands and leg with bandages.

Once Jack was done, Max stayed in the infirmary for a while and after seeing he had stopped oozing blood, he had Jack drop him off at the front of his office and ordered him to find an accommodation for Jamie.

After they left, he opened the door and saw the office had been tidied up and Vivian was nowhere to be seen, which made him frown.

He had come here, despite his injuries, to earn some Harem Points from her by doing some activities which didn't require much physical effort such as kissing and fingering.

If he remembered correctly, he could earn 15 points from kissing each of his harem members daily and the fingering gave him 5 points.

Even if it didn't give him more points upon doing multiple times, he could still earn 20 Harem Points since he hasn't gotten any points from kissing Vivian, and hopefully the 24 Harem Points in total he would have would be enough for him to buy something to heal his injuries.

But with Vivian gone, he had to give up on—

Creak!

Right then, the door of the attached washroom opened. He looked over and saw Vivian. Immediately, his eyes lit up and he sighed in relief.

If she had indeed left, he would have no choice but to either go home to Natalie or to Ruth's and then wait for the next day before he could earn some points from them and buy some healing item.

But if he had done so, not only would it have wasted a significant portion of the already very little time he had left, but it also would have worried Natalie and Ruth, which he did not want.

Fortunately, it hadn't come to this.

"Ahh! What happened!"

Just then, Vivian's shocked and horrified gasp brought him back to his senses.
