After coming out of Liu Xiaoting's apartment, Xia Wenbin genuinely felt a bit thirsty, so he took a couple of sips of the water Sister Ting had given him. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, he thought the bottled water tasted faintly sweet.
He had to admit that the passive skill, Martial Arts Mastery, really seemed to show more of its effect the more one fought with others. At the very beginning of the fight, he had still relied purely on his brute strength, but as he gradually figured out the opponent's stance and moves, he actually found himself easily seeing through and anticipating whatever they wanted to do! At that moment, Xia Wenbin truly realized that whatever came from the System was top quality.
As he walked up to the entrance of the apartment building, Xia Wenbin noticed a few shady figures standing behind the flowerbeds on either side, glancing over at him from time to time and purposely looking away in other directions whenever they caught him looking back. Xia Wenbin frowned. Without even thinking, he knew these must be the watchers sent by that "Black Bear Gang" just now.
