The Haitian was sensible enough not to comment; after all, it was better if he didn't get involved in this kind of thing. Moreover, he could tell that Su Zhan wasn't asking for his opinion at all!
Chapter 0129: What a Coincidence
Eden stood at the hotel entrance, looking up at the towering hotel building, still feeling a bit dazed. What she had just experienced truly felt like a dream.
"Secretary?"
Eden mumbled softly and then turned to leave.
As a single woman, although Eden frequently traveled to various places, she had her own apartment in New York.
The apartment wasn't very large, but it had a lot of things, making it seem a bit cramped. With Eden's Ability, she could afford a Villa, let alone an apartment. However, she found Villas too spacious, lacking the bustling excitement and noise of the outside world. The loneliness and solitude of being home alone made her prefer a smaller, more crowded home, which gave her a greater sense of security!
She changed into pajamas, her long legs crossed, hugging a pillow, and resting her chin on it, considering Su Zhan's proposal.
She truly had no goal; daily wandering around, life felt meaningless. Perhaps... following him wouldn't be bad? Maybe she could experience many new things. If she got bored, she could always leave later, right? He didn't seem like a ruthless person...
"Click!"
Eden, who was deep in thought, suddenly heard a sound from the door, like someone was picking her lock. She paused but didn't panic. She really wanted to see who was bold enough to steal from her home.
The sound continued, and the door swayed slightly, looking like it could be pushed open at any moment.
At this moment, Eden inexplicably thought of Su Zhan's earlier words about a person named Sera who specifically hunted Ability users to acquire their superpowers. Although Eden didn't think it would be such a coincidence that she had just learned about this person and he was already knocking on her door, the thought in her mind grew stronger and stronger. She had originally planned to see who it was, but now she changed her mind, quietly ran to the bedroom, gently closed the door, and peered through the crack.
"Bang!"
The door opened, and a tall figure walked in.
It was Sera!
After Sera entered, he looked around and quickly shifted his gaze to the bedroom.
"Bang!"
Eden quickly locked the bedroom door and asked in a low voice, "Who are you? Why are you in my house!"
Sera didn't respond but used his telekinesis to control the nearby lamp and sofa, throwing them towards the bedroom door.
"Bang." "Bang." "Bang!"
Again and again, the door shook violently from the impact. Eden asked in a deep voice, "Are you Sera? You're Sera, right? Are you here to take my Ability?"
Outside, it stopped, and Sera's voice rang out: "You know me? Did he tell you? I'm very curious, why didn't he take your Ability? Can you tell me why?"
"It really is you. You'd better leave immediately. He's my boss now. If he finds out, he won't let you off."
"Don't you think you should leave here and find a place to have a drink? Perhaps... that's exactly what you need right now?"
Eden threatened him while trying to hypnotize him.
Although her hypnotic Ability was fast, it couldn't succeed instantly; it required a process.
"Are you trying to hypnotize me? It's useless..."
Sera was well-prepared; he was wearing headphones. Although they couldn't completely block sound, they could reduce some of the effect. While speaking, Sera waved his hand again.
With a loud crash, the bedroom door was directly knocked open. The sofa flew in and hit the wall next to it. Eden instinctively retreated, hiding in the corner, watching Sera's sinister smile as he walked in step by step.
Seeing the headphones on his ears, Eden knew she probably wouldn't be able to hypnotize him.
Sera pointed a finger at Eden and made an upward motion. Eden's legs lifted into the air, and she involuntarily floated up.
"It seems your boss can't save you now. Let me cut open your head and see how your Ability works. Hypnotizing others with sound is quite an interesting Ability!"
Sera laughed unrestrainedly, pointing his finger at Eden's forehead. This was his usual method: cutting open the forehead little by little to expose the brain. Eden regretted it a bit. If she had known, she should have agreed to Su Zhan earlier and stayed there. Now, even if she wanted to agree, she couldn't. She didn't know Su Zhan's phone number, and even if she did, it would probably be too late to save herself...
"I wonder if he knows Sera is here too. I wonder if he can beat Sera..."
Eden couldn't help but think, slowly closing her eyes...
"Bang!"
A sound like something hitting the wall. Eden opened her eyes in confusion, only to unbelievably see Sera pinned against the wall by a familiar dark green energy mass.
"Boss?"
Eden found herself also held by this dark green energy, like a seatbelt, fixing her to the wall to prevent her from falling. She instinctively called out, and then saw Su Zhan slowly walk in from the doorway.
"It seems you've accepted my invitation?" Su Zhan asked Eden with a smile.
Su Zhan waved his hand, slowly lowering Eden. Eden quickly ran to Su Zhan's side and asked in surprise, "How did you get here? Did you know I was in danger?"
"It's not easy to find a secretary I like; I wouldn't want to replace her before she even starts working!" Su Zhan said with a smile. Actually, it was quite a coincidence. Not long after Eden left, Su Zhan discovered that he seemed to have recovered an Ability.
The positioning Ability!
So he casually located Eden's position, found out her address, and then, having nothing else to do, located Sera. He then realized that the two were in the same place, instantly understanding that Eden was in danger, which was why he rushed over.
And the result? It seemed he arrived just in time!
Seeing Eden's excited expression, Su Zhan was confident that the secretary position had been filled.
Turning his head, Su Zhan looked at Sera.
"I really admire you. If I were you, I would definitely hide far away. Although I would eventually find you, living one more day is one more day. But you, you even purposely ran towards me, afraid I wouldn't see you, huh?" Su Zhan looked at Sera with interest. Sera gritted his teeth and struggled for a long time without success, then decisively gave in and begged for mercy.
Chapter 0130: Don't Have Any Crooked Ideas
"Don't kill me. I was just curious why you let her go and didn't take her Ability. I didn't intend to harm her," Sera quickly explained, trying to get Su Zhan to spare him.
"Is that so? I just heard you say you wanted to cut open her head to see how her Ability works," Su Zhan said with a smile.
Sera quickly shook his head and said, "Listen to me. Having superpowers is already special, and we are the special among the special. Their possession of Ability is a waste. Why don't we take their Ability and utilize it to do more important things? God bestowed us with Ability; we cannot let these Abilities be wasted in the hands of these mediocre people, can we?"
"That makes a lot of sense," Su Zhan nodded.
Sera was immediately overjoyed, thinking Su Zhan had listened to his instigation, and quickly prepared to strike while the iron was hot. But then he heard Su Zhan lightly add, "However, one person like that is enough, so you have no reason to exist."
Sera was instantly speechless, not knowing what to say.
"Speechless? Don't know what to say? Then don't say anything!"
As Su Zhan's words fell, Sera was suddenly pulled into the air, then heavily slammed against the wall.
Again and again.
