773: Chapter 17: Gluttony 773: Chapter 17: Gluttony The reflection in the mirror showed a body of solid muscle.
There wasn’t an ounce of excess fat, as if every muscle had been measured by the most precise instruments and meticulously assembled.
So robust, it might not be an exaggeration to liken it to steel.
Wolf King Rob merely gave it a casual glance before putting on a gray vest.
He then drew the curtains of the room, looking through the floor-to-ceiling window at the city outside the high-rise.
It’s the depths of winter—this city outside is Geneva, the second-largest city in Switzerland.
Indeed, he was saved by a mysterious elder, and in an instant crossed several different countries, from the base built near the Maple Club in Xianzong Forest, suddenly arriving in this city.
In this city retaining the distinctive architectural style of the last century, Rob felt a lazy atmosphere—after all, this city and even this nation has always adhered to pacifism above all.
Rob clenched his fist—not long ago, the injuries sustained while attempting to snipe the Princess of the Xuanyuan Family had mostly healed after taking unique medicines brought by Einstein from his so-called friends over the past few days.
The remaining issue was related to Inner Breath.
This injury belongs to the system of Ancient Martial arts from the east, and it seems the miraculous medicines that can heal the injuries are somewhat inadequate.
As Einstein said, it’s interference under different rules, which is why these miraculous medicines cannot fully exert their effects—Rob pletely had no idea what Einstein was talking about; all he knew was that they were useless!
Besides, he finally understood what Einstein meant—a name he was somewhat familiar with from the very beginning, which, upon careful consideration, reminded him: the world’s most intelligent person, the greatest scientist!
The light circles surrounding Einstein were countless.
However, at the start, Rob simply felt that this Einstein was not the same Einstein, considering the great Jewish man from history had died in the fifties or sixties of the last century.
It was just…
“Ah?
Yes, I’m exactly that Einstein who died in the last century you’re referring to.”
“What kind of joke is this?”
Rob suddenly pulled the curtains in front of the window forcefully, plunging the room into darkness.
Without turning back, he walked straight out of the room.
The apartment inside this high-rise was very luxurious.
When Rob walked out of the room, Einstein was leisurely sitting on a chair reading a book, with a burning fireplace beside him.
Rob glanced at the blanket covering the old man’s lap and subconsciously frowned.
No matter how you looked at it, this guy seemed just like an ordinary old man afraid of the cold in winter…
But the mysterious and enigmatic Power within this elder was something Rob had personally experienced.
Seeing Rob e out, Einstein removed his glasses, put them into a case, and smiled at him—who would have thought such an ordinary old man would contain a Power within that even made Wolf King Rob, one of the Twelve Divine Generals of the Maple Club, apprehensive?
“Judging by your appearance, you should be almost recovered.” Einstein said as he stood up while folding the blanket, “My old friend is an outstanding alchemist, and after I told her about your situation, she said you should be recovering these days, so I never doubted it.”
“Are those medicines you gave me products of Alchemy?” Rob frowned at this moment.
“Is there a problem?” Einstein looked curiously.
Rob shook his head and said, “Nothing.
The club also has its own alchemist, but I’ve never liked the things they fiddle with.
However, as long as it can make me stronger, I don’t mind trying them.”
“Indeed, we should embrace everything in the world with tolerance.” Einstein nodded elegantly and said, “Child, I appreciate your frankness.”
It seemed that Rob was not quite fond of being called a child, so he sat down directly, frowning and said, “I’m almost recovered.
You said you would grant me great Power.
When will it begin?”
Einstein waved his hand, “Don’t rush.
I’m your guide, but it will only be after you pass the examination.
As for my examination, it’s to have you assist me in research, which hasn’t started yet, has it?”
“Then let’s start soon.” Rob expressed dissatisfaction, “I don’t like wasting time.”
This old man was too leisurely, practically wasting Life and time.
“Unfortunately, the research cannot start immediately.” Einstein said reluctantly, “Next, I’m planning to make use of a Hadron Collider buried here, but there’s a bit of trouble, and the researchers are adjusting some minor parameters, so I have to wait a few more days.”
What’s a Hadron Collider?
Rob expressed plete inprehension.
However, he understood somewhat about what adjustments meant.
He looked at this old man with doubt, asking, “You should have the ability to adjust it quickly, right?
Why not do it yourself?”
“Oh, Rob, that’s not possible.”
Einstein shook his head and said, “This Collider is a modern development, and the scientists leading the development are progressing step by step.
Overing various challenges brings them closer to scientific truth.
How can I stifle their opportunity to advance?
You know, in science, it’s through repeated failures that experience is gained, leading to success.
Watching these descendants in the scientific munity progress over and over again is truly a delightful thing.”
Rob frowned and remembered the other term “borrowed” the old man had mentioned earlier.
“Isn’t that thing yours?” He asked Einstein in astonishment.
Einstein laughed and said, “Of course, it’s not mine.
Didn’t I say before?
It’s the product developed by modern scientists.
It’s buried here under the surrounding mountains.
I’m just here to borrow it for some interesting research.”
“How much longer will those adjustments take?”
“Just wait patiently.” Einstein, seeming to soothe, replied softly, “Also, regarding your examination content, there’s a slight issue that needs a bit of revision.”
“Are you toying with me?” Rob subtly carried an undertone of anger—if he could beat this old man.
“No, no, no, there was indeed a little unexpected situation.” Einstein sighed and said, “The old friend I visited, the alchemist who gave you the miraculous medicine, asked me a favor after hearing about your situation.
Well, I’ve owed her a few favors, and I really can’t decline, so I had to agree.
I want to say, she also hopes you can bee her research subject…
Rest assured, I absolutely won’t let her mess around.”
“Do you really see me as a toy that can be casually manipulated?”
He indeed carried the very proud bloodline within him, even if he lacked the strength, he wouldn’t submit easily.
“Calm down, child.” Einstein quickly advised, “Trust me, if you can endure it, your Power will at least increase.
After all, my old friend is a very great alchemist.
You should know, she has existed much longer than I have.”
But he will be tempted by the powerful forces.
Rob took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart…
his body, while in the club, had long since been modified countless times, parable to a toy for the club’s group of mad scientists.
Thinking this way, at present, he was merely switching to a new group of researchers.
“When will your friend be arriving?” Rob, after a moment of silence, finally opened his mouth to ask.
“Soon.” Einstein promised, “She said she would arrive in three days.
Please believe me, this old friend of mine is a very punctual person.”
Rob suddenly thought of another identity of this old man and frowned unconsciously, “Your old friend, wouldn’t she also be a famous historical figure?”
“Famous?
She’s fairly well-known, I suppose?” Einstein smiled and said, “Her name is Ekaterina II•Alexyevna.”

…
Just as Brother Xiaosheng’s fist was mere millimeters away from the self-proclaimed Dong Zhuo’s fat face, it suddenly stopped.
The precision of its halt left Fish Ball Qiang wiping the sweat from his brow.
Brother Xiaosheng could effortlessly take on ten people at once!
Fish Ball Qiang had witnessed this many times while selling fish balls here…
Yet this fat guy didn’t dodge or panic, as if he knew the fist would definitely stop, his calmness was overly assured.
Could it be that this fat guy is a hidden master?
But just as Fish Ball Qiang conceived this thought, he froze, feeling pletely uneasy.
What did he just see?!
This fat guy, who had just poked away his largest hidden fish ball, reached out and licked Brother Xiaosheng’s fist with his tongue!
Yes!
He really licked it!
Just like a little dog trying to show affection by licking its master!
Fish Ball Qiang felt his mind was filled with strange sounds after witnessing the act!
PrPrPrPrPrPrPr…
“You bastard…”
The fist, poised just millimeters from Dong Zhuo’s fat face, trembled slightly…
but Fish Ball Qiang didn’t see this as fear from Brother Xiaosheng!
This was clearly a display of extreme anger!
Who was Brother Xiaosheng?
He was the boss of all entertainment venues in the Red-Light District!
Every KTV owner and night manager called him Brother Xiaosheng!
He was the Brother Xiaosheng who could take on ten people at once!
Fish Ball Qiang felt that Brother Xiaosheng could be licked anywhere but his fist!
Brother Xiaosheng’s status was earned with those fists!
That fist symbolized Brother Xiaosheng’s dignity on this street!
It was as if Brother Xiaosheng’s dignity had been licked away!
Bang——!
Finally, the fist landed heavily on Dong Zhuo’s fat face!
Fish Ball Qiang swore it was the most brutal punch he’d ever seen Brother Xiaosheng deliver!
The fist sank deeply into Dong Zhuo’s face—like imprinting a fist into soft soil!
It was as if the face was punched inward—people aren’t made of rubber!
A normal person hit like that would probably be doomed, wouldn’t they?
Fish Ball Qiang was too shocked to be scared, collapsing onto his folding stool, with only one thought in his mind: someone’s going to die!
When Brother Xiaosheng pulled his fist from the fat guy’s face, Fish Ball Qiang clearly saw the fat guy’s facial features twisted into one mass, fully integrated into what was no longer recognizably a face, showing just how terrifying the punch’s power was!
“Brother Xiaosheng, you should…” Fish Ball Qiang instinctively wanted Sun Xiaosheng to hurry and leave…
after all, it looked like he had killed someone.
But he quickly noticed something was off…
Firstly, despite the force, the fat guy hadn’t budged an inch, and even more astonishing, despite such a severe blow, he hadn’t bled!
Next, Fish Ball Qiang witnessed an unforgettable scene!
The fat guy Dong Zhuo pinched his sunken nose, and then astonishingly pulled his nose back into place, popping out his facial features back to normal!
The features he pulled out looked somewhat different from before, and Dong Zhuo simply used both hands to rub his face a few times.
It was as if nothing happened!
“Ha…
it can take a punch!”
But Brother Xiaosheng seemed excited at this moment, clenching his fists, he relentlessly pounded Dong Zhuo’s body.
Ah-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!!
“Could this be the legendary Fist of the North Star?” Fish Ball Qiang, watching the scene of countless fists rain down on Dong Zhuo, began to reminisce about his childhood, muttering to himself!
Who knows how many punches later, when Brother Xiaosheng finally stopped, Dong Zhuo’s body was covered in a dense array of fist marks.
He looked like a lump of thoroughly beaten clay, with no intact spot visible.
But Brother Xiaosheng showed no sign of joy, instead furrowing his brows, unexpectedly saying, “Fish Ball Qiang, stop packing and leave here quickly.”
Fish Ball Qiang hadn’t processed the situation yet.
The fat guy suddenly took a deep breath—like inflating a balloon, and as he inhaled, the alarming fist marks on Dong Zhuo’s body quickly vanished.
All the fat on his body trembled slightly in the air, then restored to normal, once again showing an innocuous smile.
“Mon…ster!!!”
It wasn’t just Sun Xiaosheng and Dong Zhuo in front of the fish ball stall!
Due to Fish Ball Qiang’s stall’s popularity, even in the cold winter evening around six, it was a haven for many late-goers seeking warmth.
When the first person screamed, those present, in their fright, didn’t think of recording or posting to their social media!
Not to mention the terrifyingly fast-punching enigma, this fat guy, who should have been beaten dead, was already terrifying enough!
“Oh dear, causing such a motion isn’t good.” Dong Zhuo maintained a cheerful look.
But in the next second, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and once again took a breath!
A tremendous gale erupted, and these fleeing individuals seemed as if sucked into a gigantic vortex!
And Dong Zhuo’s mouth unfathomably expanded to a horrifying size!
Like a black hole, absorbing all the surrounding pedestrians and patrons!
