"Let go. Right now." Sato faced thenky youth with a solemn look on his face.


    "Or what?" Thenky youth retorted.


    "Brother Blue me, you can proceed to the counter. I will handle this kid by myself." Thenky youth said to Blue me without turning back.


    "Okay." A small smile crept on Blue me''s lips. He was finally pleased with how thenky youth handled matters so his temper had cooled down a bit. Ignoring Sato''s presence, Blue me began to make his way towards the counter.


    "Let go." Sato repeated again.


    "Or what?" Thenky youth pushed back.


    "You have been acting like some figure recently. It seems you don''t even know how high the sky is. I don''t mind teaching you a lesson."


    A grin hung on the face of thenky youth. However, the feeling it gave was one of murderous intentions.


    "I''ve already warned you."


    Before thenky youth could react to his words, Sato quickly moved and held the wrist of the young man. With a tight squeeze, he grabbed the wrist of thenky youth and bent it backwards.


    "Ah!!!"


    Injuring a yer in a safe zone was against the rules of the game so Sato didn''t break the young man''s wrist. However, he did twist it to the point of almost breaking, letting the youth experience the feeling of undiluted pain.


    "Ah!!! Let go! Let go now!" Thenky youth yelled as he was brought to his knees by Sato''s actions.


    Sato ignored him and sent a kick to his face while controlling his strength. If it were before, with his above 30 points of [Strength], this kick would not only break the nose of thenky youth but deal a lot of damage, but after the short "exercise" at ck Grill''s Cave, Sato had basic control of his abilities.


    *Thud*


    When his footnded on thenky youth''s face, Sato had already released his grip on the young man''s wrist. This lead to the young man being knocked to the floor by the kick.


    No one had expected Sato to abruptly make such a move so none of the other yers were able to react in that split second. Just as they realised what had happened, it was already toote. If that wasn''t bad enough, Sato was still not done.


    Blue me was surprised by the scream that sounded from behind. Thinking it wasing from Sato, he turned around hoping to catch of glimpse of that audacious figure and taking pleasure in his suffering. Sadly of him, what greeted him was a boot to the face.


    Blue me was one of those yers who focused on their lifestyle sses so his fighting ability was low. Ever since the game had begun, he had only managed to reach level 5, and this was with the aid of a few guilds and clubs that needed his help with forging an equipment or wants to recruit him. Against a level 15 yer like Sato, it wouldn''t take much to defeat him.


    *Thud*


    Blue me''s body wobbled backwards till he crashed at the counter behind him in a sprawled manner, simr to a man who drank too much and got knocked out.


    In just two seconds, Sato had knocked out two men without depleting their HP by even 1 point. He did it with such ease and speed that it looked as if he never even made a single move.


    Ignoring the crowd, he walked towards the counter with such focus that one might think he wasn''t aware of anything else.


    ''Luckily I didn''t make a move.'' Gon sneakily wiped the sweat off his forehead.


    He was rejoicing at his decision to sit still and watch. While it was true that he would be able to have his revenge by mobilising his guild memberster, it would still be disgraceful for a guild leader to be taken down so easily.


    ''Better you than me.'' Gon mocked inwardly as he nced at thenky youth.


    ''That control...''


    Gon might be a crafty fellow but the true battle expert was Koko. He was astounded at Sato''s control of his strength. Not only was Sato able to make sure that thenky youth felt a ''pleasureable'' sensation of pain but he also did so without causing any damage.


    It should be known that the avatars of yers in not just Infinite Realm but also other major VR games, were much stronger than a regr human being in reality. Because of this, yers had to engage inbat right after leveling up so as to get a better grasp at their newfound strength. While this sounded easy, it necessarily wasn''t. yers could indeed gain basic control over their strength but precise control like the one Sato had disyed, was extremely difficult.


    To put it in an analogy, it was like the difference between tossing a rock 20 feet into the air and catching it with one''s bare hands, and recing the rock with an egg and repeating the exact same actions without cracking it. While this wasn''t impossible, it was extremely difficult.


    ''He should be an Expert at the very least.'' Koko thought.


    "You, you. How dare you? Are you insane?" Another representative, a ck haired youth, who wanted to get on Blue me''s good shoes roared.


    He had been beaten by thenky youth to confront Sato and whike he had felt regret at not responding quickly, he suddenly felt a sense of relief. However, he noticed something that the others didn''t in time because they were to stunned at Sato''s actions. Sato had attacked a yer in a safe zone and though no damage was dealt, all these were caught in the eyes of the NPCs.


    Usually, yers tend to forget the NPCs in their calctions but IR made them an integral part of the game. Even if the system didn''t ssify Sato''s actions as going against the rules, Sato had disturbed the peace in the trade-house. If one were to pull such an act in a mall in reality, they would be escorted out by the mall police and banned from the mall or in serious cases, be sent to jail. Going by this pattern, the same should apply here in IR otherwise their motto of mimicking reality would be a joke.


    "Guards, guards! Can''t you all see? This young man is disturbing the peace in the trade-house. Get him! He should be banned from here. No, that''s too lenient. He should be sent to jail." The young man hollered.


    Responding to the roars of the young man, the security personnel in the trade-house approached the group.


    ''Hehe. Let''s see what you can do now..'' The ck haired young man grinned.
