White Angel Corporation was one of the most powerful corporate organizations in the city.
Given the fame and prestige the company had, even powerful mutants wouldn't dare offend an ordinary office-bearer. One had to weigh the pros and cons before thinking of offending even a low-ranking member.
In the present era, power was mainly distributed between the World Government, revolutionaries, and corporate entities.
The power of an individual was useless in the face of a powerful organization. If a person, without any background or influence, offended any of the three main powers, then death would be an easy escape.
This was the reason why people tried to join the government or corporate entities, whether they were ordinary humans or mutants. In the worst case, people didn't hesitate to join the mafia.
After all, being alone makes one vulnerable to the top powers.
But now, a mutant without any background or influence had humiliated the heir apparent of White Angel Corporation! Not only was the heir apparent humiliated, but also beaten to a state where even his mother would have a hard time recognizing him.
In the blink of an eye, Jack, who represented the mighty White Angel Corporation, had been slapped so hard that he fell to the floor.
The guards and members of the welcoming team had a hard time coming back to their senses. Despite what Kiba had done, they didn't dare display their fury.
Attack him for humiliating their future boss?
Laughable. He defeated a powerful mutant like Jack without doing anything! Jack was not a random mutant. He was someone who had access to the best resources of White Angel Corporation!
Even he could do nothing, so how could the guards expect their struggle to result in anything positive? Besides, their duty was to ensure no problems arose during Kiba's stay in the corporation.
"Are you really... human?" Richard asked, his voice filled with disbelief.
He knew Kiba was strong; otherwise, Chairman Hank wouldn't give him such preferential treatment. Not only him, but everyone in Delta City was aware of Kiba's power.
But this was beyond powerful!
Stopping a terrifying attack with a single finger! Slapping a mutant like Jack as if slapping a child!
It was way overpowered!
Fuck!
How could a person without any powerful background have such power?
"Sir Kiba, please give me face and forgive Sir Jack for his mistakes," Carole stepped in between Kiba and Jack.
The guards finally came to their senses and started providing first aid to Jack. They felt it was laughable that they were earlier worried about Kiba.
"Anything for a fine lady like you," Kiba lowered his hand.
He ignored Jack and stepped towards Richard and Eva.
"I can prove my human nature if you want," Kiba said with an amicable smile.
"What?" Richard was startled.
"Didn't you ask a moment ago if I am a human?"
Richard was stunned. It was just a rhetorical question he asked in shock.
"Eva, I hope for the sake of your fiancé's curiosity you would agree with me," Kiba requested.
Everyone knew the hatred Eva had for Kiba. For a shy and reserved girl like Eva, Kiba was the worst type of monster.
Like a knight in shining armor, Richard stood in front of Eva.
"What are you saying?" Richard asked with a frown. He didn't know why, but he felt that whatever Kiba was going to say, it would be insulting.
It had hardly been ten minutes since Kiba arrived, but he had flirted with Carole while trying to take advantage of her. Afterward, he mocked Jack with the affair.
So how could Richard be optimistic about Kiba's words? This bastard really got on the nerves of people!
It was as if he got thrills by humiliating people from high society!
"Don't stare at me like that! You are making me frightened!" Kiba had a smile on his face as he continued, "I might attack you by reflex if you scare me further!"
"You!" Richard was angered, but he had learned from Jack's mistake. He didn't dare confront Kiba.
"Honey, it is fine," Eva stepped in to save her fiancé's dignity.
Richard thanked her in his heart for having such a lovely woman as his fiancée.
"What is it you want me to agree with?" Eva asked angrily. Her face showed how incensed she was at Kiba for humiliating her brother and fiancé.
"Nothing much," Kiba answered in a polite tone. "Your fiancé wants to know whether I am a human. And the best way to prove my humanity is by expressing love!
"WHAT?" Richard's eyes burned with fury while Eva gritted her teeth in frustration.
"What do you mean by 'What'? You didn't understand? Allow me to elaborate for your small brain. Eva and I would make love in front of you. After all, there is nothing better than testing love for checking my human nature!"
Kiba patiently explained with a kind smile. His expression denoted he wanted to make love with Eva to help Richard.
Eva and Richard were speechless as they saw his sincere expression.
"Richard, you don't have to thank me," Kiba added after receiving no verbal response. "I consider it my duty to help you understand my humanity."
"Y-you!" Richard vomited a mouthful of blood due to anger. He had never seen such a shameless fellow in his entire life.
You want to fuck my girl but also want me to be grateful?!
The guards were sweating heavily as they heard the conversation between Kiba, Richard, and Eva.
They were afraid Richard would suffer the same fate as Jack if he gave in to anger. The head guard made a unit standby for first aid in case Richard was slapped.
"Split yourselves in two!" the head guard instructed in a stern tone while pointing. "You guys will be responsible for the left side in case Sir Richard falls there!"
"....."
"Meanwhile, you guys will be waiting on the right side in case Sir Richard falls there!" the head guard concluded.
"....."
The guards were shocked by the 'preparations' made by the head guard. It was the first time in history that guards were split into two for providing medical aid to a possible 'slapping' situation!
It even seemed as if the head guard was looking forward to Richard getting slapped.
***
Jack had barely regained his senses after taking the slap. Thanks to the first aid, he was able to regain consciousness within minutes of being knocked out.
"You, tell me what happened," Jack commanded in a hoarse voice.
"Huh? Sir, are you asking me?" a young guard who was cleaning Jack's wounds asked. Generally, he didn't get to talk with people of such high status.
"Are you deaf? Tell me what happened in the fight before?" Jack angrily repeated.
He wasn't able to recall perfectly how he was knocked out by Kiba. He guessed that Kiba used some underhanded means.
The young guard, who appeared to be in his early twenties, was happy that someone asked him this question.
"Sir, Kiba only made a slapping movement toward you, and you collapsed dozens of meters away! You even vomited blood mixed with foam!" the guard explained in a very excited tone. "It was not even a battle!"
The young guard was awestruck by the power displayed by Kiba.
"You!" Jack was incensed.
He now recalled the situation correctly. His embarrassment only increased further when he heard the excited words of the young guard.
Jack thought the guard, at the very least, would try to paint Kiba in a bad light. But here the guard was excitedly telling the 'details' without caring about his feelings!
"You are fired!" Jack angrily ordered.
How could there be such a senseless guard!?
Doesn't he know he has to suck up to his boss?!
The guard was shocked but then laughed.
"Does that mean I can leave now?" the young guard asked.
"What?"
"Since I am fired, I can leave right now, right?" the young guard asked with a hopeful voice.
"Well... yes?" Jack was shocked by the excitement the guard showed. This was the first time he saw an employee getting excited after being fired.
"Thank you, sir! You are the best!" The young guard made a dash toward the elevator.
The guard believed today's events could be turned into a cool story. A story that could be shared during drinks. Perhaps he could even bring the attention of some girls in the bar when he shared the story.
It was not often one gets to see a rich and powerful tycoon's son getting thrashed this badly. The guard had an overtime shift tonight, so he knew he couldn't leave tonight and share the 'exclusive story' before others. Now, he thought the gods were sending him the opportunity by firing him!
"Girls would definitely like this story. Maybe I can become a real man tonight," the young guard happily thought.
"Or I can sell the exclusive story to a media channel! My story has content that would definitely sell to the masses! A small scandal can make breaking news but my scandal has the potential to become the greatest news of the year!"
The young guard was in a joyful mood as he left the floor.
"A loner mutant fighting a rich heir apparent for his unborn child! The media outlets would love this story. They would offer me both money and protection!"
The young guard looked forward to his bright future.
