Chapter 17 - TARGET ACQUIRED

 David's POV

 Looking up, I could see Rocky's face, the smile on his face, he seemed like a maniac who was only interested in brawling but that was all nice for me since that was exactly what I needed.

 I steeled my heart and mind, this time deciding to persevere till I could retain a cluster of his cell even though I knew it could cause harm to him.

 I did it knowing what the consequences for him would be but I just didn't care about it.

The main point was to copy his cell then Michael's and leave without leaving a trace behind.

 As for Michael's proposal about overthrowing some government or seizing leadership I had absolutely no interest in that.

 Looking at my hand once again I could see the black cells reacting once I touched him and this time I confirmed my thoughts about their violent behavior.

 They were reacting based on instinct, merely trying to resist and destroy the invaders.

 Every single one of them were normally silent but the moment they came into contact with another cell they suddenly start reacting and actively trying to resist the enemy cells and when they were unable to they simply detonate.

 The whole conclusion didn't make sense but I decided to make use of it for now till I found something better.

 And then the referee started the match but I was extremely confident in my win this time and merely held my ground besides I wasn't interested in winning anyways.

 To those who were watching the match it seemed like I was concentrating and putting all my focus into the match but I knew the only thing I had my eyes on was the moment the black cells began disintegrating.

 Thinking of this I felt bad for rocky who seemed like his entire life was based on the match.

 His facial expression when he lost would definitely be funny to look at.

 Soon enough, the moment I was waiting for arrived. I had made sure to use only my own cells and not Emma's, trying to replicate the same situation that had happened with Emma.

 This time, the process was faster than before, as I saw the cells quickly transitioning into a disordered state and then rushing outward towards the supposed intruders.

 I wanted to make sense of what had happened the last time, so I focused on the entire process, shutting out the ovulation of the crowd entirely.

 From what I saw, it seemed that only those that disintegrated in my body could reform and as for those that actively went out?

 They were lost forever and then another batch would just come out of nowhere to fill the void left behind and continue the process.

 I decided to leave everything to them and only watched the process only trying to understand what exactly was happening and then I would understand what exactly was going on.

 Soon enough I could feel his grip weakening but I didn't want it to be too obvious so I also loosened my grip a bit still making it seem like a stalemate trying to capture that moment when a new cluster appeared.

 Then I saw something I would have missed if not for my extreme focus.

 I saw one of the cells rushing towards Dave's body just like the others but this time instead of just disintegrating like all the others it started to suck in the others around it like a black hole.

 The other black cells seemed to be unaffected but Dave's cells seemed to be particularly volatile to the suction force.

 They surrounded it with the little black cell as the core and when it reached a certain limit it suddenly wrapped around the cluster, stretching itself from the inside then retreating back to my body after which it unwrapped itself and turned into a new little cluster at another part of my hand.

 The whole process filled me with astonishment as I watched on but I didn't forget about Dave.

 It wouldn't be nice if I crippled him so bad his hand couldn't work at all right?

 At this point even Dave had begun to notice something was wrong with his body but I didn't care about his opinion and just exerted all my strength and as expected overpowered him instantly.

 The crowd that had been excited to see the result went silent at this moment surprised by the sudden change in the match.

 But no one seemed as surprised as rocky right now, I could see his face filled with disbelief and he seemed frozen in a timeline of his own.

 The crowd suddenly burst into a surge of ovulation witnessing the first time the club's local champion would be defeated.

 I didn't care about them or rocky and left the area moving towards where I had found Jarvis earlier, I found him still sitting there just looking at everything around him and when I came close to him he just stared at me and did nothing.

 This guy gave me a creepy feeling like a stalker and I've never heard him say a word before.

 "Take me to Michael, I want to have a word with him."

 He looked at me for a while then nodded his head and stood up, walking to the door at the back of the club.

 After entering the main base of the little gang I saw them having a little meeting then I wondered if Jarvis was not part of their gang or he just asked to be excluded.

 Michael seemed angry at first, about to scold who barged in on his meeting but when he saw Jarvis he calmed down then looked beside him at me and broke into a slight smirk.

 "Looks like we have a visitor, sorry guys this meeting will have to be postponed for a while."

 Looking at how Michael easily dissolved his meeting just because I came over he seemed to put a lot of importance in recruiting new manpower.

 After the other were out of the room he looked at me then asked "Have you considered my request?"

 "Yes, but first I have a request for you"

 Michael looked at me for a while then answered "Alright then, what's your request?"

 "Defeat me"

 Michael seemed surprised at my request and then asked "Are you for real?"

 "Yes" I replied.

 "What kind of a fight do you have in mind then?"

 "Arm wrestling of course, you see that's my best forte and if you can beat me in it then alright I'm willing to join you"

 "You couldn't eve beat rocky and had to settle for a draw with him what gives you the confidence to face me?"

 "Oh, sorry but your information's a little outdated cause he just lost to me, I bet he hasn't even recovered yet"

 Michael seemed a little surprised then looked at Jarvis who nodded then he smiled and said "Alright I accept, just don't forget your promise when I beat you up real good."

 David smiled and thought to himself

 'Target acquired'
