Su Yao's Powers Exposed

Su Yao's Powers Exposed

The residents began whispering among themselves.

"Dad, didn't you say the police were guaranteed to win?"

"Well... that mutant must have been too powerful. Mutants that strong really are rare!"

"But didn't he run away in the end? He doesn't seem all that impressive, hahaha..."

The father hurriedly laughed it off to hide his embarrassment.

Although what he said did make some sense, the mutant's strength had still left a deep impression on the girl.

It was not just the two of them. The other residents also began talking.

"They lost? These officers are way too weak. They're parasites living off taxpayers' money."

"Exactly. What useless trash. Who knows what they even spend taxpayers' money on!"

What had just happened was truly shocking. The police officers they had considered powerful, armed with guns, had actually failed to defeat a single mutant? Even though the young man seemed to have been driven away in the end, it did not change the fact that they had lost and suffered heavy casualties! Among the crowd, a young man in a suit held a camera, his eyes now gleaming.

"This is huge news! A video of a mutant fighting the police is bound to cause a stir online!" Dan Ning said excitedly.

Especially since the police had not even won—this made it even more sensational! He decided that after doing some editing, he would upload the video online. He had even already thought of the title.

Mutant Teen Battles Police, Police Defeated! Dan Ning's eyes shone.

While he prepared to upload the video and the residents marveled at the police's defeat and the young man's strength, Chris, standing among the onlookers, was also in shock.

Earlier, he had been worried that the kid might die. But now...

He could hardly believe that the young man, whom he had thought could only absorb sunlight and fight at close range, possessed such tremendous strength! Oh, now he understood everything.

"The earlier Basement, and suddenly appearing upstairs..."

Chris connected everything in his mind and could not help feeling astonished.

Black energy nearly as powerful as armor-piercing rounds, and teleportation...

So the kid really had flown up to the bedroom upstairs earlier...

Chris did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"So this is what that kid meant by hiding a few abilities?"

At first, he had thought the kid had only hidden one ability. He had never expected him to have concealed two more? Thinking of how he had praised the kid earlier and believed he had done the right thing, Chris felt a little embarrassed.

Still, the kid really did have a lot of abilities.

Teleportation, black energy, and the sunlight absorption and mirror-like ability he had revealed earlier—that made four abilities in total, didn't it? "Four abilities is indeed pretty good. Though none of them are particularly strong, that's still rare among mutants," Chris sighed.

Although the kid's abilities were still no match for those powerful mutants, having four abilities gave him a certain level of combat power, and their overall practicality was not bad either.

"The kid slipped away just now. Was it because he could no longer use his abilities, or because his stamina was about to run out?"

Chris pondered this, noticing some clues through his extensive experience.

It seemed the kid's abilities were not as convenient as they appeared...

At last, a smile appeared on Chris's bearded face. "I really wonder what Magneto's expression would be if he found out he had a son with fairly decent abilities."

"And Professor X..."

"If I remember correctly, those two are still hostile toward each other, right? How interesting. I really want to see their expressions when the time comes, haha..."

As a former member of the mutant organization Brotherhood, he naturally knew some things about the two. He knew that they had once been very close friends, but later had been forced to part ways due to conflicting beliefs.

Professor X believed that mutants could coexist peacefully with humans, while Magneto believed that mutants were stronger than humans, that humans had always been persecuting mutants, and that humanity should be eliminated.

The two constantly fought for their respective beliefs. Professor X's X-Men and Magneto's Brotherhood still clashed frequently even now.

Yet even after things had reached this point, the two could still talk like friends when they met, while placing great trust in each other.

Chris could not help imagining the expressions on their faces when they learned the kid's identity.

As he imagined it, police sirens sounded in the distance. Several police cars and ambulances surrounded the area.

Captain George watched as his team members were carried into the ambulances, hatred flashing through his eyes along with anger—anger toward the person who had provided false intelligence.

He began organizing the information, preparing to report the course of the battle and the incorrect intelligence to Alessandro, the person in charge of the base.

At the same time, he intended to question Captain Kenny about why he had given him false intelligence, resulting in the deaths of five team members! That brat was clearly not as weak as the intelligence had indicated. If not for the incorrect information, they would not have underestimated him and suffered such severe losses...

While he organized the information for his report, Su Yao, who had escaped far away, was walking through a dark alley, not knowing where to go.

Only after leaving Chris's house did he remember that he seemed to have nowhere to go.

Not only did he have nowhere to live, he did not even have any money...

Memories of the foster family surfaced in his mind.

"No, I can't go back there."

Su Yao shook his head.

For all he knew, the moment he arrived, people from the relevant authorities would arrest him.

Just as he frowned in thought, a series of faint footsteps sounded nearby.

"Who's there?" He looked over.

The moment he looked, he froze. Three Black men in dirty, disheveled clothes were holding clubs and other objects, watching him with ill intent.

"What do you want?" Su Yao asked with a frown.

Seeing that he had noticed them, the three Black men chuckled.

"What do we want? Hehe..."

They exchanged glances, malice flashing in their eyes.

"Kid, hand over your money and supplies. Don't make us do this the hard way."

"Don't even think about resisting..." The tall Ai Li smiled broadly and vigorously waved the club in his hand.

The three watched him with ill intent and contempt, not believing that the skinny young man before them could do anything to them.

With those skinny arms and legs, they could take one of him with one hand, hehe...

Su Yao wore an expression that said he had expected this.

At this point, he could not even be bothered to complain. He had not expected that walking through a dark alley would really lead to encountering thugs? He had wondered where so many thugs came from for superheroes to beat up. Turns out he had been overthinking it—this place was simply a mix of prosperity and chaos? As he thought, he said coldly, "I don't have any money or anything else. I advise you to leave, otherwise..."

With his currently frail body, he naturally was no match for these three tall, sturdy Black men. If he wanted to resist, he could only use his superpowers...

Ai Li and the other two were stunned for a moment, then they all started laughing, thinking the young man before them must be crazy. Otherwise, how could he dare say something like that?
