Dark python Gang: Dark python Snake (0/1), Silver Snake (0/1)

Task Status: Not Completed.

Watson was lost in thought as he moved forward. After all, these people were nothing more than experience points to him, and they'd even issued a mission! What a bonus. Who would have guessed? He never expected the chaos to involve the infamous Scott!

"It turns out… you did it!" Watson thought, still in the dark. He released the Fierce Jackal, letting the beast throw itself toward Scott with a swift flick of its tail.

You think I'm letting you die easily? Watson mused. Not a chance!

With the physique of a seasoned hunter,one that rivaled even Captain America in strength and stamina,he felt ready for anything.

The three gang members who were previously paralyzed with fear quickly turned toward the source of the movement, and just as they did, a massive fist, roughly the size of a sandbag, rocketed into Scott's face!

Boom!

Scott's body flew backward, a mix of blood and a few yellow teeth scattering in the air as he slammed into the ground.

Nearby, Silver Snake recognized the attacker. She'd been in the game for years and knew that this was the kind of move that spelled trouble. She quickly assessed that her only option was to act fast.

A flash of silver light cut through the air as Watson, just having stopped, prepared for what came next.

"Don't even think about moving your monsters," Scott growled, slowly rising back to his feet, blocking the path of the advancing figure.

"Uncle Polk!!!"

Watson's heart raced with anger as he saw the old man in Scott's grip.

"Uncle Polk?" Scott sneered, twisting his face into a cruel smile. "I originally thought he was just a bystander, but this turned out to be an unexpected bonus!"

"Let him go. I swear, I'll let you walk away from this!"

"Hah!" Scott scoffed. "You think I'm as naïve as that little short snake you're talking about? I'm not here to negotiate. I want the scales of that monster you have! Trade them with me, or your Uncle Polk's dead."

Scott's grip tightened around Uncle Polk's neck, lifting him up in the air, slowly choking the life out of him.

"I don't have time for your games!!!"

"Fine!" Watson growled, realizing there was no way around this. He glanced at the Fierce Jackal beside him. "Do it."

The jackal, whose claws were as sharp as razors, reached down to scratch under its armpit. It then dropped several scales into Watson's hand, glistening with an iridescent shine.

Scott's eyes lit up with greed. This is it—this time I'll make a name for myself in front of Baron Strak!

"Here," Watson said, tossing the scales toward Scott, who eagerly reached out to grab them.

But just as his hand was about to close around the precious monster scales, Uncle Polk's feet suddenly dropped to the ground with a heavy thud.

System!

Place the Fierce Jackal behind Scott.

As Scott triumphantly reached for the scales, a sudden, massive shadow loomed over him. He barely had time to blink before the afterglow of his eyes caught sight of two rows of silver lights in the corner of his vision.

A monstrous force—bigger and darker than anything he'd expected,came crashing into him!

In an effort to avoid harming Uncle Polk, the Fierce Jackal,under Watson's instructions,bit down on Scott's smaller frame from the left side, narrowly missing his upper body!

"Wait, there's another one?" Scott thought as the reality of his situation hit him. He had underestimated Watson,and he was paying the price.
