Su Zhan's lips curled into a slight smile; he hadn't expected to casually encounter the Ability user he was looking for while out shopping.
A woman who could move at super speed and disregard time stopping!
Or rather, a thief?
Su Zhan reached out and felt his pants. Well… he didn't have a habit of carrying a wallet, as all his belongings were in his system space, so nothing could be stolen.
"Daphne, hehe, interesting!"
Su Zhan chuckled, pinpointing the location of the super-speed woman, Daphne. However, he didn't teleport directly but instead ran there at super speed. If the super-speed woman truly ran, her speed would be much faster than Callisto's, and even faster than Quicksilver. Quicksilver could only reach supersonic speeds, while the super-speed woman could already reach the speed of light, even briefly traveling through time back to the past.
Of course, she was still far inferior to Flash, as Flash's speed was super-light speed, and many times over.
A somewhat dilapidated apartment, yet cluttered with many items: precious jewels? A portrait of Mona Lisa. At first glance, these items appearing here would likely be fake, counterfeits, but… these items were all real and priceless. Even an inconspicuous small item, if sold, would be enough to buy this entire apartment building.
A woman with silver-white short hair, dressed in red, sat on the sofa, surrounded by a pile of various wallets. She was going through them one by one. If there was a lot of cash inside, she would show a satisfied smile; if there was no money, she would pout, somewhat disappointed.
For Daphne, stealing seemed to have become a habit and a hobby; she didn't care how much money there was. Perhaps she was destined to be a thief. Daphne shrugged, preparing to grab another wallet, but her hand met empty air…
"Huh? I clearly remember there was one more?"
Daphne turned her head, a bit confused. She remembered very clearly that there should have been one more. Looking up, she found a lone black wallet on the table in front.
Looking at the wallet, Daphne sprang to her feet, vigilantly looking around: "Who's here? Come out!"
She remembered very clearly that she hadn't put the wallet there, and the wallet couldn't have run there by itself. Someone must be here, someone in her home, but she just couldn't see them!
"I know you're here, come out!"
Daphne shouted loudly, but the surroundings were silent; there was no one. She frowned in confusion, but suddenly felt someone pinch her. Daphne instantly turned and kicked, but missed, and then she had already appeared at the door.
"Pervert! If you have the guts, come out! Taking advantage of me sneakily, do you have no shame?" Daphne yelled angrily. "You're not coming out, are you? Fine, I'm leaving. I want to see if you can catch up to me!"
After speaking, Daphne prepared to use her speed to leave, but at that moment, the door suddenly closed, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open it.
"It's just a joke, you don't have to be so petty, do you?"
A voice suddenly rang out.
Daphne turned her head and said angrily, "A joke? Do I know you? Why are you joking with me?"
"Alright, you really have a temper. Then, I apologize."
Su Zhan smiled, then removed his invisibility Ability.
"Didn't you say you'd apologize? Apologize then, I'm waiting!" Daphne said, looking at the suddenly appearing Su Zhan.
Su Zhan shrugged: "Just saying it, why take it seriously? If you're unhappy, you can take advantage back, right? But, I don't think you can do it!"
Chapter 0184: Teasing Daphne
"Compete with me in speed? Alright, I'll make you pay the price." Daphne sneered, then suddenly disappeared.
Swish!
Daphne appeared at Su Zhan's previous position, looking at Su Zhan in the distance with some surprise. He was now at the position Daphne had just been standing. In the blink of an eye, the two had swapped places.
"You… do you also have super speed?" Daphne, who had been full of confidence, hadn't expected to grab empty air. She could see that when Su Zhan dodged, he was just as fast as her.
"Sort of, yes. So, are you still chasing?" Su Zhan shrugged and asked.
"Hmph." Daphne snorted coldly and chased again.
"The place is too small, not enough to really stretch out. Let's go outside. If you can catch up to me, I might consider letting you go. If you can't… then I'll have to take your Ability!"
Su Zhan's voice rang out, and he had already run out of the apartment.
Daphne followed closely, the surrounding World seemingly still, constantly receding. The two emerged from the apartment, crossed the road in a blink, and moved quickly through the streets. The people around could only feel two gusts of wind blow past, but couldn't see anything at all.
"Oh, it's red, so vibrant!" Su Zhan commented with interest on a woman whose skirt was blown up as he passed by.
Daphne behind him was grinding her teeth in anger, straining to chase.
But the gap between the two didn't shorten; one in front, one behind, almost at the same speed.
The more she chased, the more disheartened Daphne became. She had put in her full effort but simply couldn't catch up to the other party. This feeling of powerlessness made her extremely frustrated, and finally, in a fit of pique, she stopped.
No more chasing!
Su Zhan turned his head, saw Daphne stop, and then he also stopped and turned back.
"Why aren't you chasing anymore?" Su Zhan asked, smiling at the fuming Daphne. "It's my first time being chased by a woman, and it feels pretty good. If you give up so quickly, it's no fun at all!"
"What exactly do you want?!" Daphne glared at him and said, "I don't even know you, why are you targeting me?"
"We just happened to meet, who told you to pass by me? I had nothing to do, and I was quite interested in you, so I came to see you!" Su Zhan spread his hands and said with a smile, "I just didn't expect you to give up so quickly. So, game over?"
As Su Zhan spoke, he slowly walked towards her.
"What do you want to do?" Daphne slowly retreated, asking cautiously.
"Didn't I just say, if you could catch up to me, I'd let you go. If you couldn't, I'd take your Ability. Since you didn't catch up, I can only take your Ability!" Su Zhan continued to approach as he spoke.
Daphne was stunned for a moment: "You, you can take away my Ability?"
"Of course."
"But you can't do that!"
"Oh? Why not?" Su Zhan asked with interest.
"Because I caught up to you!"
After Daphne finished speaking, she suddenly accelerated and instantly appeared in front of Su Zhan, grabbing his hand.
Su Zhan was stunned for a moment, looking at the triumphant Daphne and saying, "That works?"
"Why not? You didn't say how I had to catch you. Anyway, I've caught you now!" Daphne said.
"You're cheating, but… you're clever. Never mind, even if you caught me, I won't take your Ability for now. You're so interesting, taking your Ability now would be a bit boring. I haven't had enough fun yet!"
Su Zhan hadn't expected Daphne to be so cunning and react so quickly. However, he didn't take it to heart. Anyway, if he truly needed it, he could take this Ability at any time, and Daphne seemed quite interesting!
"What do you mean 'haven't had enough fun'? That sounds so bad. What's your name? Is your Ability the same as mine? Do you have other Abilities?" Hearing Su Zhan say that, Daphne pouted and then asked curiously.
"My name is Su Zhan. As for Abilities, hehe… you'll know in the future." Su Zhan smiled and said.
"Stingy! My name is Daphne!" Daphne said, reaching out to Su Zhan. Su Zhan shook her hand and asked curiously, "You're not short on money, so why do you still steal wallets? And how much money can a wallet even have?"
