'Now, how many free stat points do I have?' Max thought inwardly as he turned towards his system screen.

[Free stats: 46]

'Welp! That's a lot, huh?' Max chuckled inwardly as he looked at the screen some more.

'Okay, first off, let's even out the two powerhouses first.'

[STR: 75 >>> 80]

[AGI: 75 >>> 80]

'Okay, so I'm left with 36 free points,' he thought as he turned around, laying on his back while staring at the screens above.

'Now, how do I di… actually, this isn't supposed to be hard.' Max thought as a smile crossed his lips and he quickly began assigning them.

[STR: 80 >>> 90]

[AGI: 80 >>> 90]

[INT: 61 >>> 77]

"Much more beautiful." Max didn't realize when he muttered out loud, causing the boys in the room to turn towards his bed and stare at the dragon who began to rise the moment he was done assigning the points.

"So… what do we do next? Any plans on how to grow our gang and go far?" Max asked as he sat back down, staring at the duo.

"I was thinking of taking on more lower-tier gangs, spreading our influence all around. But first, we need to grow the members in the gang more.

I feel like if we can purchase just one hybrid serum and give it to a trusted member, we'd be solid enough to maybe challenge some higher-tier gangs," Jake replied as he stared at his smartphone, scrolling through some feeds.

"No need to waste money on hybrid serums for now. Let's pool our resources into making the gang better, and also, let's not forget the town. We need to make it more appealing," Max added as he rubbed his temples.

"How about we actually create job opportunities in the town? And then finance a business there which will not only employ the townspeople, but also make sure we gain some resources from it too," Jim suggested as he looked at the duo, who were nodding their heads along.

"I like that. Along with that, we make sure the slum residents are employed in the business. Because all of them are poor as fuck, they need to be employed first. Only then can they pay taxes," Max added to the suggestion.

"Okay? For that, we would need about twenty to maybe thirty thousand dollars. Well, I guess we would have to work for about three months to get that money," Jim sighed, and the duo did too.

'That even reminds me. I almost forgot about that overpowered skill I have. Now that my MP bar has increased, I can use the skill, but right now, my MP is low. I need to have sex to refill it, and after I use the skill too, my MP would be completely depleted,' Max thought as he rubbed his temples. Right then, they all heard a knocking sound.

"Come in," Jake shouted before he sighed. "And I have a feeling that I know who that is."

The door creaked open and walking in was Jasmine. She halted instantly as she stared at the dragon who was now awake.

"Yo… you look different," she muttered as she walked forward, causing Max to touch his face. That was when it hit him—his skin was actually smoother.

Turning around, he stared at the mirror, and what stared back at him was a completely different person. Max used to look frail. Though he was slightly good-looking before, his features had been hidden beneath years of hunger and poverty in the slums.

Now his jawline was sharper, his eyes brighter, and there was a strange charm around him that hadn't been there before. Even the tiredness that once made his face look older was gone. Jim and Jake exchanged glances, almost as if they couldn't recognize their friend anymore.

But right now, he was easily standing at 6 ft tall, his face so smooth and handsome that he currently rivaled Jake standing beside him. His eyes were now sharper, his hair neat and styled to perfection, making it look like he had just stepped out of a magazine photoshoot rather than a rough fight or a hospital bed.

'I really do look different from before. But how? Is it because of the evolution? Because I could have sworn that a week ago, I wasn't this tall nor was I this handsome.

My features improved after evolving last time, but this evolution changed me even more. And I didn't even alter my appearance. Ha! I wonder who would win in a beauty contest between Max and Damian.' the dragon thought as an amused smile crossed his face.

"So, we will leave you both to discuss what you want to. Me and Jim have something to work on." Jake said with a small grin as he grabbed the E rank hunter by the arm and dashed out of the room without bothering to hide the smirk on his face.

The moment the door snapped shut, the dragon came back to his senses as he looked up to stare at Jasmine standing awkwardly in front of him.

"Hello." Max said as he waved his hand in front of the C rank hunter, causing her to snap out of her thoughts. "Any problem?" he asked, tilting his head slightly.

"Actually, there's something I want to speak with you about." Jasmine sighed, her shoulders dropping a little as Max led her to his bed and they both sat down side by side.

Secretly, the dragon activated his dragon eyes, letting him view her aura, and right now, it was yellow just like a normal human and not pure white like the time they battled against the demon.

'I wonder what a white aura means though.' he thought as his gaze narrowed slightly.

"Wow. I can't believe that you really are a dragon. It's amazing because I've only heard about them in novels, movies or as bedtime stories. Meanwhile, a real one is seated beside me. So awesome." Jasmine chuckled nervously as she stared at the dragon, trying to keep herself calm.

'Huh? That's strange. Why are my dragon eyes showing something odd? Her aura, it's flickering slightly to the left. What does that mean?' Max thought as he stared at her with his brows creased.

"Yo… you aren't going to eat me, right?" Jasmine asked with a slight stutter as she stared at the twin yellow eyes glaring softly at her.

Hearing her words, he noticed that her yellow aura flickered uncontrollably and that was when it hit him.

'Oh. She's nervous. So the ability has evolved too? I can now see whether someone speaks the truth or lies or is even nervous? Mehn, being a dragon is great except for the part where an entire evil race is after me though.' he chuckled slightly inwardly.

"No, I won't eat you." Max said as he deactivated his ability with a soft and calm smile on his face. "So, what do you want to speak about?"

"Actually, not me… she wants to speak to you." Jasmine said as she nervously stood up, her voice quiet.

"She? Who's she…"

WAM!

Something immediately slammed into Jasmine, cutting her sentence short. Max's dragon eyes flared up on instinct and he could see the unknown female's aura changing from a bright yellow to an intense pure white, like a blazing flame in the darkness.
