Chen Ho Yin was on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s list. A dedicated agent regularly checked in to ensure that he had not disappeared or gotten into trouble. When Chen mentioned this to Su Zhan, he seemed anxious, but Su Zhan was completely unconcerned. Su Zhan himself was also on the list, as were almost all people with superpowers, whether famous or unknown. As long as you were strong enough, you could simply ignore it.
Chen Ho Yin was capable but not strong, so he was monitored. No one likes being watched. It feels like being in a cage, even if it doesn't affect your daily life much.
"Now that you're with me, you don't need to worry about S.H.I.E.L.D.," Su Zhan said casually. "As long as I don't agree, no one can take you away." This put Chen Ho Yin at ease.
"How can I become stronger?" Chen Ho Yin asked eagerly, hope shining in his eyes.
Su Zhan smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry. It will be easy for you to get stronger. You have unique advantages. Once I finish my current work, I'll help you." In the meantime, get to know Blink and Marrow. After all, you'll be fighting side by side as comrades in the future."
After a pause, Su Zhan waved for Blink and Marrow to come over. "Our numbers are small now, but our team will definitely grow. We need a base, but I don't have time to find one right now. So, I'll leave it to you. Blink, you'll be captain for now. You're responsible for finding a suitable place for our base. I'll give you the money when I return."
"You're leaving? Don't you want us to come?" Blink asked, disappointment in her voice.
Su Zhan shook his head. "Where I'm going is very dangerous. You wouldn't be able to help. If you really want to help, work hard to get stronger."
"Don't worry, we will!" Blink promised, her determination clear.
"Then what's our team's name?" Marrow asked, her curiosity piqued.
Su Zhan hadn't thought about it, but since Marrow had asked, he said, "Let's call it the War Alliance." We'll face countless battles in the future. Life is endless, and so is the fight."
"War Alliance? That sounds great!" Marrow repeated, very satisfied.
It was a simple name, but powerful and full of purpose.
"In the face of danger, never retreat. Life is endless, and the fight never stops!" Blink echoed, nodding firmly.
The team's name was decided.
"This money will be your activity funds for now. Since you're following me, I can't let you be short on resources." Su Zhan took out all the money in his system space and gave it to Blink, it was not much around of Six hundred ten thousand dollars. It wasn't enough to build a base, but it was more than enough for expenses.
"Put the money away. We have guests," Su Zhan said, pursing his lips. Blink put the money away, curious about the guests.
Suddenly, the door to the room was kicked open and a heavily armed team burst in, guns aimed at them.
Crystals instantly appeared in Blink's hand, and Marrow grew bone blades. Chen Ho Yin was confused but did not panic.
Su Zhan lounged on the sofa, frowning at the intruders. "Didn't anyone tell you it's rude to visit like this?"
The leader shot back, "That's still more polite than suddenly taking Chen Ho Yin away, right? Su Zhan, what are you trying to do?"
"First of all, Chen Ho Yin is not your damn property. He's free to go wherever he wants, and I haven't been impolite. Second, do you know what politeness is? You clearly have no idea what that word even means. Since you are too stupid to understand respect or even basic courtesy like knocking, let me show you what happens to people who forget it." Su Zhan waved his fingers. Instantly, the guns flew out of their hands and hovered in the air. Then, as if pulled by a force, the intruders were flung out of the room one by one.
They landed in a heap at the door like toppled statues.
Chen Ho Yin's eyes widened in disbelief at the spectacular sight before him. So, Su Zhan had this kind of ability besides controlling flames? No wonder he was so calm and casual earlier.
"Think about what it means to be polite before barging in. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I'll be friendlier than just throwing you out next time," Su Zhan said calmly, glancing at the angry person in charge.
The guns, still suspended in the air, one by one turned their muzzles to point at the door.
The person in charge immediately stopped and no longer dared to act rashly.
