Capítulo 21: "Defeated with a single punch"
"Hey, old man, wait! I'm not what you think I am. And do you really want to kill me?" I quickly hid behind Minji.
Of course, with my large body, I was still completely visible. So, I wrapped one arm around Minji.
Seeing this, Manager Kim's anger intensified.
At first, Minji couldn't understand why her father was arguing with the man in front of her. And his strength-he broke a metal pole with a single punch. Minji was astonished, thinking all this in her mind.
"Let go of my daughter, or today I will really kill you!" Manager Kim said as he began walking towards me.
I don't want to lie, but the pressure of Manager Kim's strength was making me feel a bit scared too. However, there was no turning back now.
Because my mission was to prove myself in front of Manager Kim. If I succeeded, I would receive a King-Level Card.
And besides, I had already fallen for Minji at first sight. I didn't want to appear weak in front of her. With this thought, I gathered my courage once again.
I stood in front of Minji, locking eyes with Manager Kim. I activated UI Mode again.
"I know your name, that's why I called you old man. Forgive me for that. But the girl standing with me-I've fallen in love with her at first sight. If you and your daughter agree, I want to create a love story with her."
As Minji was about to stop her father, she froze at the words of the man in front of her, staring at him in shock.
This was because, at school, everyone looked down on her for her father's job at a small company. She was constantly bullied, and that bullying often included physical beatings.
And now, this handsome man standing in front of her was saying that he loved her. Just thinking about this, Minji's eyes began to show love.
"Shut up. You say you love her, but I just saw you forcing yourself on my daughter. Do you think you're worthy of her?" Manager Kim said in a cold tone.
"Sir, I will prove to you that I am worthy of your daughter. No one else is more suited for her than me, even though I've only known her for less than ten minutes." I said this seriously at first, but then I felt embarrassed while finishing my sentence.
Manager Kim had slightly calmed down after hearing the beginning of my statement, but when he heard the rest, his anger shot up again. Blood rushed to his head, and he even coughed up some.
"You say you've known my daughter for less than ten minutes, and you claim to love her? I'll kill you today!" Manager Kim roared, assuming a CQC fighting stance.
"If you want Minji, prove to me what you're willing to do for her!" he shouted, charging at me.
"System, quickly show me his stats, or this old man will kill me!" I screamed in my mind.
[Ding... Host, Manager Kim's stats have been generated.]
[Name: First name unknown, last name Kim.
Code Name: 66
STRENGTH: {Omega God} (+)
SPEED: {Omega God}(+) {Mastery}

[Host, if you fight seriously, there is a 100% chance you will die. He is nearly invincible at his level and has the combat experience to fight opponents stronger than himself.]
Seeing Manager Kim's stats, I was shocked. I never imagined he would be this powerful. But there's no time to think now, so I countered his attack.
He's using CQC, and I'm using Taekwondo.
However, none of my strikes are landing properly. So, as we exchange blows, I decided to explain what had really happened.
"You're saying you accidentally bumped into her, fell on her, and instantly fell in love? Do you think this is some kind of movie shoot?" Manager Kim yelled in rage.
He threw another punch—a deadly strike. I quickly spun aside to dodge, but Minji was standing right behind me.
If I don't dodge, I might die. But if I do, Minji will be the one who gets hurt. And if she dies, Manager Kim will definitely kill me.
When Manager Kim realized that if the boy dodged his punch, his daughter would take the hit, he tried to stop himself. But it was already too late. He began to regret his extreme anger.
"Dad, no...!"
Minji also noticed the situation, and out of fear, she screamed and closed her eyes, covering her face with both hands.
Boom…
While Minji's eyes were closed, there was a loud impact. However, she felt no pain. It was as if nothing had happened to her. Confused, she opened her eyes, and what she saw left her in shock, tears streaming down her face.
Manager Kim was equally stunned by the sight before him.
To save Minji, I had clenched my teeth and taken the punch with a specific spot on my forehead, just like Hobin from Viral Hit, minimizing the damage—but still...
The moment the punch landed on me, I lost consciousness and was thrown backward. Blood started pouring from my eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
Before I completely blacked out, I could only hear Minji crying. And then, everything went dark.
…
When I regained consciousness, I found myself in an unfamiliar room.
"Where am I? This doesn't seem like a hospital." I said to myself as I looked around.
The room wasn't very large, but it was decorated beautifully. However, my head was pounding. As I thought about it, I tried to get up from the bed.
The moment I stood up, my head began spinning. "What happened to me? Why is my head bandaged, and why can't I remember anything?"
I noticed a rabbit-shaped clock beside the bed. Judging by the time, it was now 8 PM.
I was incredibly hungry, and I could hear the sound of running water coming from somewhere nearby, as if a tap had been left open.
Curious, I walked toward the source of the sound.
"What a strange house, leaving the water running with no one around," I muttered to myself.
I opened the door, and as soon as I did, all the memories of what had happened came flooding back.
(And this is where this extra chapter ends.)
