France Paris, this was once the fashion capital and romantic capital of Europe, and it was also a place where countless writers, artists and thinkers flocked to.
But at this moment, it has completely entered a state of martial law with the presence of police and troops.
As for the reason, of course it was that a group of Inhumans gangs who had just awakened and acquired Superpowers suddenly launched a terrorist attack on the Elysée Palace, the official residence of the country's top leader, without any warning.
In just a few minutes, more than twenty guards and agents were seriously injured and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
The president himself was also missing in the chaos.
According to the judgment of the people on the scene, it is very likely that he was kidnapped by the other party.
A dignified and important International Security Council participant, French President, one of the five permanent members of the world, was attacked and kidnapped in broad daylight. This kind of thing is probably something that even the England people who are best at and like "insulting the law" would never imagine.
In order to understand the situation and ensure the safety of their president, the military, police and intelligence agencies finally joined forces and planned to teach these ignorant guys a lesson and let them understand that not everyone can "humiliate" France.
But unfortunately, the ideal is very full and the reality is very basic.
Before the police and the army could start going door-to-door, a video was uploaded to the Internet.
The protagonist is none other than Mr. President, who has been missing for more than an hour.
This poor man, wearing only a pair of white shorts, was hung more than a hundred meters above the ground, with a sign hanging around his neck that read, "If you don't want me to die, pay two tons of gold immediately."
As for the comments under the video, they were refreshed to tens of thousands in just a few minutes.
"Oh my God! Kidnapping the president of a big country and demanding ransom? I have never seen such a crazy crime in my life."
"Is France considered a big country? I have always thought that France is a shame to the Wuchang."
"Shut up! No matter what, France is much better than you England guys!"
"Haha! At least our Prime Minister and Queen were not kidnapped!"
"So cool! Who are these guys? I want to join them!"
"Long live freedom!"
Looking at these random comments, the initiator suddenly showed a proud smile.
She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with short rebellious brown hair, two silver rings on her ears and nose, and only wore a black low-cut tank top and hot pants. The exposed arms and thighs even have large tattoos that look like oil paintings.
Right now, the girl was holding a cigarette in her mouth. She kept fiddling with the screen of her mobile phone with her fingers. After a full minute, she asked without looking back, "Zack! Have you done what I asked you to do?"
"Don't worry, Clara, everything has been taken care of. I promise, no matter what actions those bullshit governments take, there will be no return in the end." Another young man who looked about twenty years old and had explosive muscles all over his body replied with excitement.
"Great! Let's see if those fools from the government will pay the ransom honestly, or will they directly send Special Forces to rob it."
The tone of the girl named Clara was full of contempt and disdain for the France government and military.
Just as she took a deep breath from the cigarette in her mouth, she suddenly heard a stranger's voice coming from behind her.
"If I were a high-level member of the France government, I would not negotiate with you, let alone pay a ransom. Instead, I would immediately launch a small nuclear bomb and send you and the president to the sky. Afterwards, I would put all the responsibilities on you, and even slander you. It is contempt for you to use nuclear warheads stolen from unknown places to create a horrific terrorist attack. Of course, it would be better if you add a little sensational public opinion, for example, the president resisted to the death and did not give in to the terrorists until the end of his life."
With the last word blurted out, Allen appeared out of thin air in front of these young men and women.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that this group of Inhumans, who had only just awakened their abilities, would dare to play such a big role as soon as they took action.
Kidnapped the top leader of France, one of the five permanent members, and demanded ransom!
Is this what carbon-based organisms can come up with?
Sometimes Allen cannot understand at all what is in the minds of these European and American people.
Although it is common for young people to be stupid, it is unprecedented to be stupid to this extent.
No country with any brain will give in to terrorist organizations easily, even if it has to suffer a certain degree of loss.
Because once something like this succeeds for the first time, more people will soon follow suit.
At that time, if you tie up a cargo ship today and I hijack a plane tomorrow, no country can bear this kind of torment.
This is why, when countries deal with kidnapping and extortion by terrorists, their responses are often surprisingly consistent.
That means we will never negotiate, let alone agree to any unreasonable demands made by the other party, even if it results in the death of all the hostages.
"Who are you?"
Clara picked it up from the ground alertly, and without saying a word, he hit Allen's chin with his fist.
Judging from the reaction and strength of her punches, as well as the calluses around her knuckles, she must have practiced boxing or fighting for a period of time.
If an ordinary person was hit by this punch, he would probably lose the ability to resist in an instant.
But unfortunately, this rebellious girl obviously chose the wrong opponent.
When she confidently watched her fist and the opponent's chin getting closer and closer, and the moment they finally touched each other, she suddenly felt that what she hit was not like a fragile chin at all, but a piece of extremely hard steel.
Since the force-bearing area of the mandible is very small, Clara's punch is extremely powerful.
As expected, several finger bones were broken on the spot, making a crisp sound.
"Ahhhhh!!!!!! My hand!"
I saw that the three bones of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger close to the palm were twisted into a very strange shape on the spot.
The severe pain made her scream like a pig.
In contrast, Allen stood there as if nothing happened. His whole body did not even sway. Instead, he asked with great interest, "If you don't mind, can you tell us about your respective abilities? I am very curious about what gave you the courage to dare to provoke a nuclear power."
"Be careful! This guy is a Ability User! Everyone come together!"
After realizing the danger of Allen, Clara immediately pinched the broken finger of his hand and quickly retreated, shouting loudly to the others.
In the blink of an eye, these teenagers, who were no more than twenty-two years old at most and maybe only fourteen years old at the youngest, all rushed forward.
During the sprint, the young man named Zack's muscles all over his body surged, forming a layer of extremely strong muscle armor around his body. At the same time, his body size also increased from a normal two meters to a height of almost three meters.
Coupled with the impact of running, the whole person is like a human tank.
Every time I take a step, I leave deep footprints on the asphalt road.
"Oh? Is your ability physical enhancement? Interesting..."
Allen's eyes flashed with amusement, and he raised his left arm calmly.
The next second...
Boom!!!!!!
Zack was like a speeding locomotive, slamming into it.
The terrifying impact even formed shock waves and air explosions instantly.
The dust on the surrounding ground rose up to several meters high, blocking everyone's sight.
After everything calmed down, everyone present was surprised to find that Allen stood motionless on the spot, blocking Zack, the strongest and most destructive among them, with just one hand.
"This... how is this possible!"
The young man stared at the enemy close at hand with his eyes wide open, an expression of disbelief on his face.
You must know that he collided head-on with the locomotive and knocked the latter directly off the track.
"Nothing is impossible. Do you think you can conquer Invincible just by getting a little Superpowers? Don't be naive! The world is much bigger than you think, and there are countless people who can easily kill you." As he said that, Allen flicked on the opponent's forehead at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.
boom!
With an even more ear-piercing air explosion, Zack flew backwards like a cannonball and hit a wall not ten meters away.
The cement wall, which was more than 40 centimeters thick, instantly collapsed and rolled over more than ten meters before finally stopping.
A menacing collision versus an understatement.
No matter how you look at the two, the former should be stronger and more destructive.
But the scene that happened just now directly overturned these three views and the cognition of mature teenagers.
So that other people around who wanted to use the Superpowers attack couldn't help but hesitate, and were no longer as confident as before in their newly acquired abilities.
Likewise, emotions of fear and despair hang over everyone.
No one even knows whether Zack is alive or dead in the ruins.
Looking at these "little guys" who immediately turned into frightened birds after a slight setback, Allen couldn't help but smile and shook his head, sighing slightly, "Well, your performance really disappoints me. You know, I was still looking forward to something amazing from the organization that dared to kidnap French President, but now it seems that you are just a group of brats who don't know the heights of the sky, and you don't even know the consequences of doing such a thing."
"Woooooooooo..."
Hearing someone mentioning himself, Mr. President, wearing only a pair of underwear and being hung above his head, immediately began to struggle fiercely, trying to attract Allen's attention.
After all, as the supreme leader of France, he knew the existence of Allen and Sky City.
Understand how terrifying power this young man who suddenly appeared has.
Now that the other party has appeared, it means that he is out of danger.
Unfortunately, Allen has never had a good impression of these politicians and bureaucrats, so he pretended not to see or hear anything, walked up to the rebellious girl, stared into her frightened eyes, and demanded bluntly. "Tell me your abilities."
"I... my ability is to control airflow. Don't kill me! Please! We just want to make some big noise and earn some pocket money for yourself."
Like all the "naughty kids" who made mistakes and were punished by adults, Clara did not dare to make any rebellious behavior this time, and honestly explained his past.
Because she was frightened by the aura that Allen exuded unintentionally.
Although Allen did not reveal the murderous aura he had accumulated from killing hundreds of millions of lives, he only released a little sense of oppression, which was not something these naughty kids could bear.
Some who were less courageous had already collapsed on the ground, their whole bodies shaking slightly uncontrollably.
In their eyes, Allen, who always has a smile on his face, can definitely be called a monster.
"Control the airflow? No wonder when you swing your fist, it will be heavier and faster than ordinary people. It turns out that it is with the help of the airflow." Allen touched his chin with interest.
Immediately afterwards, he asked several other members of the small group about their abilities, and found out that a boy about fifteen years old wearing glasses could actually create a space tunnel connecting two points out of thin air.
It was precisely because of this ability that he successfully kidnapped French President from the office.
In fact, the initial purpose of carrying out the kidnapping was not for money, but to become famous, to appear in the news and newspapers, and to do something that would make friends around him think "cool".
The reason they later asked for ransom was because they happened to watch a movie about gangsters and suddenly had such an idea.,
As for why gold is needed, of course it is because there is someone in the team who has the ability to melt all metals.
As long as you get the gold, you can completely melt it into a small portion that the other party cannot recognize in less than a minute, and then take it to a gold shop and sell it directly for money.
To put it simply, this shocking case that shocked the world and even rose to the level of "insulting the law" had neither a thorough plan nor a conspiracy to subvert the world. It was just the impromptu idea of a few naughty kids.
What's even more outrageous is that the top leader of France, one of the five permanent Board of Directorss, was kidnapped in such a ridiculous way and held in mid-air in a very humiliating posture, with only a pair of shorts covering his body. It was simply embarrassing.
Looking at the president's ashen-faced reaction at this moment, you can tell how desperate he is in his heart.
It is foreseeable that in the next election, no one in France will vote for him again.
Because he has become one of the most embarrassing presidents in France history.
Even Vichy French President, who turned to the Japanese when WWII, may be more respectable than him.
As for these naughty kids who wanted to be famous, they really got their wish this time.
After all, for such a big case, the government must report to the public and the media no matter what...
