"Haaaa! Take this!" The man lunged at Rock with a hateful look. He pulled his fist back, getting ready for a humongous swing at Rock's face. Massive mistake.
In that split moment, the men were off guard. Rock used a simple technique his mind and body learned as he levelled up. A step in, followed by a straight jab at the bottom of the chin.
Crack*
The aggressive man felt like his mind cracked like a mirror broken by a punch. Rock had power behind his jab. His strength and everything else is above average.
His strength was 15, making him stronger than average. Not only that, stats from the system work differently. Using his speed, the power behind his jab was more than someone with 15 strength could pull off.
For example, If a guy had a stat of 15 strength and had a 10 speed. His punch could force out 250 pounds of force. But if Rock threw a punch with the same strength and higher speed, his punch would put out more than 250 pounds of force.
Just simple maths.
Bang!
The man fell onto the floor, his eyes white and his mouth hanging open. Rock acted quickly. He went through everything and stole all the cash in their belongings. Rock left everything else.
Rock did not stop just there. He had 9 other rooms to go to. Using his stealth, he sneaked into their room and stole their money under their noses. Of course, some did not go smoothly.
He had to fight off some people, and because of that. His boxing and BRF levelled up once. His stealth also improved to level 5 due to all the sneaking around.
His stats look like this now.

[Title: Salaryman]
[HP: 160 ]

Bang!
With a punch to the lower jaw, the man was sent to sleep while the woman started screaming. Without mercy, Rock hit her in the chin, knocking her out as well.
Gender equality matters.
"Phew! That's some series cash!" Rock counted the money in his hand. He had a shit-eating grin as he counted 3 huge stacks of cash in his hand.
It was 20,000 dollars in his hands. Rock turned and stuffed the money into his deep inner pocket before closing his pocket and smoothening his blazer.
Rock walked out of the room, and then a loud voice amplified by a megaphone. Rock looked at the source and grinned as he noticed Revy on the front of the dock.
"Japanese Guy! Come out here now before I make you look like Swiss cheese!" Rock put on a neutral face as he stepped forward. He put on a nervous face as he held his hands up.
Next to Revy stood a tall African-American with a bald head, glasses and a beard. Dutch looked at Rock and stepped forward. Rokuo watched as he got closer.
Bang!
"Argh!" Rock groaned as his head snapped back from a punch. Dutch looked at Rock with an impressed face. Rock groaned as he rubbed his nose with annoyance.
The punch had 15% of the force nullified, and Rock's durability was now above average. His nose did not bleed, and his head only snapped back from the force.
"Alright, Mr. Japanese Guys. Give us the disk that Asahi Industries handed you for delivery." Dutch pulled out a gun and pointed the tip at Rock's face. Rock looked at the barrel with nervousness.
Dutch instantly noticed the difference between the acting and actual nervousness.
'He was not afraid of me?... Well, he is afraid now, I guess.' Rock reached into his pocket to take the disk out. Dutch and Revy instantly pointed their guns at him.
"Hey, Dutch. I saw we shoot his kneecaps so he doesn't think about doing shit." Revy's cold voice reached Rock's ears, causing a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
He knows Revy would do it without batting an eye at his expense and pain. Thankfully, Dutch calmed her down with his wise voice.
"Calm down, Revy. He did not do anything that would hurt us." Rock pulled out the disk, and he held it out. Dutch takes it and inspects it for a second before nodding.
Dutch walked to the edge of the massive boat, where a small PT boat was, and he held a gun out as he shouted.
"Gentlemen! We are leaving now. We will leave you alone, but that deal is off if you follow us!" Rock sighed as he watched Dutch make his way towards his boat.
Rock does not care if they take him with them. To be honest with himself. He has a system and future knowledge of the world. He could build an empire if he so wished.
"What are you happy about? You're coming with us, dickhead" Revy's voice was heard as she put the barrel of her cutlass in right next to his jugular.
Rock chuckled as he felt the cold steel on his neck. He looked at Revy like she was joking.
"Are you for real?" Rock asked with nervousness. He was not really picky about where to go. He could make an empire the right way or conquer Roanapur and start from there.
Either way, he is gonna build his Jima empire!
"Shut up and walk!" Revy said with annoyance as she moved behind Rock and pushed him towards the Black Lagoon. Rock jumped onto the boat, his legs cushioning the force like nothing.
Revy jumped down after him, and Dutch started the boat. They zipped off at a high speed before Dutch connected to a radio.
"This is Black Lagoon. Balalaika. Do you read me?" Dutch questioned, waiting for a response.
"Loud and clear. How's business?" Balalaika's voice came out of the radio. It carried power and confidence in every word.
"It's good. The item is secured and ready to be delivered." Dutch replied.
"Good, you know I love well-done business. Make the drop-off according to plan, okay?" Balalaika said as her lips turned up into a smile. Dutch agreed and then put the radio down.
Turning around, he looked inside, where Revy was next to a comfortable Rock. He took out a cigarette and reached into his pocket but froze as he did not find his lighter.
"Uh... Does anyone have a"
"Here," Dutch said as he lit the cigarette with his lighter. Rock looked up and sent Dutch a grin as he thanked him.
"So... What do you plan to do with me?" Rock asked, and Revy immediately replied with a smirk on her face. Dutch sighed while Rock smirked.
"We are gonna get a ransom to release your corporate ass!"
