How do you know my name? Do you know me?" Nakamura Hiroshi asked in surprise.
"If you want to know, then follow me."
Su Zhan said and turned to leave.
Nakamura Hiroshi shouted from behind, "Wait, don't go! Why do you know I'm Nakamura Hiroshi? Don't go!"
He shouted and chased after him, but Su Zhan acted as if he didn't know him at all, completely ignoring him.
Too noisy, too embarrassing.
Shouting and yelling, Su Zhan was really afraid that others would mistakenly think he was with him.
"Shut up, just follow me."
Nakamura Hiroshi obviously didn't realize this. After catching up, he kept talking to Su Zhan. Su Zhan had already noticed people beside them looking at him with strange eyes. Unable to bear it any longer, Su Zhan yelled at Nakamura Hiroshi.
Nakamura Hiroshi was startled. Seeing Su Zhan's displeased expression, he very sensibly closed his mouth and even made a zipping motion, indicating that his mouth was sealed.
Su Zhan shook his head helplessly and turned to continue walking.
Away from the bustling crowd, they arrived in a secluded alley, where Su Zhan finally stopped. Nakamura Hiroshi then realized that Su Zhan also had a Haitian with him.
"C-can I speak now?" Nakamura Hiroshi asked Su Zhan hesitantly.
Su Zhan nodded.
Nakamura Hiroshi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Who are you? How do you know my name? Do you know I have an Ability? I'm from Japan. I was on the subway, and then, whoosh, I arrived in New York. I…"
His English was limited, and he spoke haltingly, gesticulating wildly.
"I know who you are, and I know your Ability. I came specifically to find you!" Su Zhan finally spoke after he finished, which was not easy.
"Find me? Why?" Nakamura Hiroshi was a bit confused.
"Because I want your Ability!"
After Su Zhan finished speaking, he directly grabbed Nakamura Hiroshi's shoulder, and immediately, his Devouring Ability was suddenly released.
"What? No, no, this is my Ability, you can't take it!" Nakamura Hiroshi was shocked and tried to break free, but how could he be Su Zhan's opponent? He simply couldn't break free.
He hurriedly closed his eyes, with an expression like he was constipated, and used his Ability to try and escape.
"It didn't work? Why is this happening? I… I'll try again!"
His Ability failed, but Nakamura Hiroshi was unwilling to give up and continued to try, feeling like his teeth were about to break, but it still didn't work.
Su Zhan ignored his struggles. With the Haitian nearby, Nakamura Hiroshi's Ability would naturally be blocked. Moreover, he had only recently gained his Ability and was not proficient, so Su Zhan was not worried about him escaping. However, just as Su Zhan had thought, this Ability was indeed very difficult to devour.
Time, space-time abilities are all very strong, much stronger than Claire's healing Ability.
When Su Zhan devoured Claire's Ability before, he only felt that the resistance was very intense and it was difficult to devour. But now, he found that there was no reaction at all!
Absolutely no reaction, as if there was no Ability at all.
Su Zhan couldn't help but frown. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
"Let go of me, let go of me…"
Nakamura Hiroshi had no way to escape and could only keep shouting at Su Zhan. Just as he finished shouting, Su Zhan suddenly released him.
Nakamura Hiroshi, now free, was stunned for a moment, then turned and ran. After running a few steps, he looked back and saw that they hadn't chased him, and he hesitated again.
But in the end, he still turned and ran.
Su Zhan didn't chase Nakamura Hiroshi, because finding him was not difficult, but… if he found him like that and still couldn't devour him, what was the point?
"Let's find a place to stay first."
Su Zhan said to the Haitian and walked out of the alley.
Speaking of which, he now felt that bringing the Haitian was indeed a good choice. Having a subordinate, someone to run errands, and someone to handle trivial matters was indeed very convenient.
They checked into a Presidential suite at a star-rated hotel. Su Zhan sat on the soft sofa, drinking red wine, looking at the view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, his thoughts communicating with the system…
"System, why can't I devour Nakamura Hiroshi's Ability? And I can't even sense his Ability." Su Zhan was a bit puzzled and hoped the system could clarify it for him.
Although his Devouring Ability was not given by the system, the system clearly knew more.
"Abilities have levels. Some Abilities can be strengthened from weak to strong through training and effort. Some Abilities are strong from the very beginning. Nakamura Hiroshi's Ability is the latter, and your Devouring Ability is the former!"
"Your Devouring Ability is because your body was transformed when you transmigrated, allowing it to balance and merge various Abilities. If your Devouring Ability surpasses Nakamura Hiroshi's Ability, you will naturally be able to devour it. Clearly, you have not yet reached that strength!"
"Then I can't just stare blankly and give up on this powerful Ability, can I? How can I quickly improve my Devouring Ability?" Su Zhan asked.
"Devour. Just keep devouring. The more you devour, the stronger your Ability will become. You should be able to feel this yourself," the system said.
Su Zhan nodded in agreement. Indeed, both the speed and frequency of his devouring had increased significantly, much stronger than before.
"However, if I devour too much energy continuously, my body won't be able to bear it, and I'll lose control!" Su Zhan said with some concern.
"Loss of control is just the initial manifestation. If you devour even more, your body will be unable to withstand the fusion of multiple Abilities and will collapse."
"Collapse?"
"Simply put, it's an explosion!"
"Damn it!"
The system's answer startled Su Zhan. "Doesn't that mean I'll die?!"
"Yes. But, only this way can you quickly improve your Devouring Ability."
"Is there no other way?"
"It's not that simple to become a King!"
Su Zhan fell silent. Yes, a King, this is a King System, and his goal is to become a King. If he just gets stronger little by little in this step-by-step manner, when will he be able to become a King?
To watch an Ability right before his eyes but be unable to devour it, missing the opportunity because of worry and fear?
This is not what a King should do!
Chapter 0125: Frenzied Devouring
Su Zhan took several deep breaths, his eyes and expression gradually becoming resolute.
Nakamura Hiroshi's Ability, Su Zhan was determined to obtain it. Any obstacle, he would strive to overcome and conquer, because he was Su Zhan, because… he was a King!
