Although the battle looked easy, it was anything but that. One shouldn't forget that the opponents were stronger than Lucas in all physical areas. The only reason he came out on top was due to a few factors like the system's aid. But the ones that stood out were his battle experience, the fact that he was underestimated and the element of surprise.The criminals underestimated Lucas and treated him like a simple human since they couldn't get a whiff of stellar energy on him.

That added with the treatment humans received, Lucas doubted he could escape jail if he was caught.
At times like this, it was best to stay low and not go overboard, so murder was off the topic.
In the end, Lucas decided not to think too much about things. He simply
An interface visible to only him appeared in front of Lucas at the same time the deal was concluded.
