Teleportation, an advanced application of Technique Reversal "Azure," fundamentally relied on using powerful gravitational force to move instantaneously.
But it wasn't truly a spatial jump. It merely created the illusion of one through extreme speed.
During the process, Su Mu's body moved rapidly until it reached the marked destination.
That was also why the tremendous acceleration injured him, even with Cursed Energy manipulation and Energy Absorption strengthening his body. If an ordinary person tried to move the same way, the immense pressure would crush them into a pulp in an instant!
Su Mu stood five hundred meters above the ground. There was nothing at that altitude, and he could clearly see the ground below with his Six Eyes—even basements were no exception.
So Su Mu chose this spot to use Teleportation and search for Kingpin.
Controlling the repulsive force of Reverse Cursed Technique "Red," Su Mu crouched as if preparing to sprint through the air. He grinned as azure Cursed Energy enveloped him. His body vanished in an instant, reappearing a kilometer away. Thirty seconds later, he vanished again!
Deep within Hell's Kitchen, Spider-Woman dealt with a robbery in a dim alley. Then she swung out of it on her Silk, continuing her search for signs of crime!
Suddenly, as the Silk pulled her upward, she caught sight of something in the corner of her eye!
White hair, a figure standing in midair, and a pair of faintly visible azure eyes!
The White-Haired Demon!
Why was he in Hell's Kitchen?
Just as Gwen was about to go confirm whether it really was the White-Haired Demon, she suddenly saw him disappear from the sky!
Gwen immediately swung to the roof of the tallest building nearby, searching for the White-Haired Demon.
With Spider-Woman's keen eyesight, she quickly spotted him, blinking in and out of view every thirty seconds.
Has he awakened another new ability?
Gwen immediately realized what was happening. She couldn't help exclaiming in shock, and beneath that shock lay deep envy.
After becoming Spider-Woman, Gwen had been delighted to gain superhuman abilities that ordinary people didn't have.
But she had met the White-Haired Demon soon after becoming Spider-Woman. At first, he hadn't been very strong, but since then, he had grown at an unimaginable rate while she had barely made any progress.
Most importantly, her powers were simple and straightforward. Other than Spider-Sense, they weren't even cool.
The White-Haired Demon's abilities, on the other hand—the azure black hole and the Black-Red Singularity—were far more powerful and impressive than hers!
This left Gwen feeling dejected, and made her curious about the White-Haired Demon, the first person to learn Spider-Woman's true identity.
Why was he so powerful?
And what was he doing now?
By using Teleportation repeatedly, with a thirty-second interval each time, Su Mu had enough time to recover from the injuries it caused and thoroughly search his surroundings without missing anything.
As time passed, Su Mu searched most of Hell's Kitchen.
As he found nothing, a sense of foreboding gradually crept over him.
Could Kingpin not be in Hell's Kitchen?
But after another teleport, a few seconds passed, and a radiant smile spread across Su Mu's face. He took another step and appeared in front of a luxurious private club.
The club was extravagantly appointed and stood in one of Hell's Kitchen's finest locations. The area was near the neighborhood's edge, where the streets were cleaner and the crime rate lower than deeper inside Hell's Kitchen. Even wealthy people who valued their lives dared to come here for entertainment.
The club's entrance was broad and imposing. The people coming and going were all impeccably dressed gentlemen, making Su Mu, in his loose casual clothes, stand out like a sore thumb.
As Su Mu approached, two suited security guards stationed at the entrance stepped forward and held out their hands to stop him.
"Sir, this is an upscale private club. You need to show an invitation and wear formal attire to enter."
After speaking, one guard leaned closer to Su Mu and whispered:
"Yellow Monkey, get lost. This isn't a place for the likes of you!"
Su Mu stopped, clearly catching the undisguised mockery in the guard's eyes.
He couldn't help wondering if the guard really didn't recognize him, even though his picture had been prominently featured in newspapers and on the news for ages—or if he actually dared to mock him!
But Su Mu had no intention of explaining. Instead, he smiled brightly at the guard who had insulted him and said calmly:
"Sorry for the trouble, but please let Kingpin know I'm here."
The guard froze, then burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! Who do you think you are?
"Dye your hair white and put on the same sunglasses, and you think you're the White-Haired Demon?"
The other guard mocked him too.
"Looks like we need to teach this guy a lesson and knock some sense into him!"
Nearby, a flamboyantly dressed woman had been about to enter the club, her arm linked with that of a man who looked at least seventy. Seeing what was happening, she sneered at Su Mu.
"Honey, look! This Yellow Monkey actually thinks he can enter a private club. Doesn't he know that only important people like you are allowed in?
"Hey, you two! Throw him out! I don't want him polluting the place!"
The old man shot Su Mu a disgusted look, then barked at the guards:
"Get rid of him!"
The two guards, who had been ordering Su Mu around, immediately lowered their heads and answered obsequiously:
"Don't worry, sir. We'll take care of him right away!"
Watching the scene, Su Mu smiled faintly. Under his Six Eyes, he had already located Kingpin, who had no chance of escaping. So he had time to play around with the people in front of him.
When several security guards swung their fists straight at his face, Su Mu didn't move. He watched the ridiculous scene unfold with a smile.
Suddenly, the entire area fell silent!
The two guards' fists stopped ten centimeters in front of the white-haired man, unable to advance another inch, as if blocked by an invisible barrier!
The faces of the two guards who had punched at Su Mu visibly paled. The flamboyantly dressed woman and the old man beside her also realized what they were looking at.
He really was the White-Haired Demon!
Not an imitator!
The woman screamed in terror. Remembering how she had just insulted the White-Haired Demon, she hurriedly fled, abandoning the trembling old man beside her.
The old man she left behind went weak in the knees and collapsed to the ground. A murky liquid slowly seeped from his crotch, filling the air with a foul stench.
He saw the White-Haired Demon reach a hand toward the fleeing woman and then curl his fingers slightly. The woman, already dozens of meters away, was crushed to the ground by tremendous gravity. Amid a ghastly crunch of breaking bones and a piercing, agonized scream, she was slowly crushed into a pulp!
Su Mu lowered his hand and smiled kindly at the two guards frozen in front of him. He repeated:
"I'm here for Kingpin!"
The two guards immediately ran toward the lobby, shouting:
"I'll inform him right away! Please wait a moment!"
Just as they were about to enter the doorway, thinking they had escaped, they heard the demon's quiet murmur behind them.
"Never mind. I'll go find him myself!"
A terrifying repulsive force struck from behind. The two guards were hurled away by its immense power, like a pair of cannonballs crashing into the private club. They slammed into several unlucky people, spraying a cloud of crimson mist, and died on the spot.
Then Su Mu walked through the clinic's entrance, only to suddenly poke his head back out from behind the door.
"Sorry, I almost forgot about you!"
The aristocratic old man outside hadn't even finished smiling with relief before terrifying gravity twisted him into a pretzel. Blood streamed from his body, spreading across the ground!
Having finished the last thing he needed to do, Su Mu finally entered the club. He smiled brightly at the many armed gang members waiting for him up ahead.
"Hello, I'm here for Kingpin!"
