Capítulo 14: Chapter 14

The residents began whispering among themselves.

"Dad, didn't you say that the police would definitely win?"

"Well... it must be because that mutant is too powerful, such a powerful mutant is indeed rare!"

"But in the end, he still ran away, didn't look that powerful, hahaha..."

The father quickly laughed it off to mask his embarrassment.

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

Not just them, other residents also started discussing.

"We lost, huh? Those officers are too weak, they are just a waste of taxpayer money."

"Yeah, really useless, where is all the taxpayers' money going!"

The recent events had shocked them deeply; their perception of powerful, armed officers being defeated by a single mutant? Even though the young mutant seemed to have been driven away in the end, it didn't change the fact of their defeat and heavy losses.

In the crowd, a young man in a suit holding a camera was all lit up.

"Big news! A video of a mutant battling the police, this will definitely make waves online!" Denim said excitedly.

Especially since the police didn't win, it was even more sensational! He decided to edit the video a bit and then upload it online, he even thought of a title already.

'Mutant Youth Battles Police, Police Outmatched!' Denim's eyes sparkled.

As he prepared to upload the video, and the residents were shocked by the police's defeat and the youth's strength, Chris, among the crowd of onlookers, was also in shock.

Earlier he had been worried, afraid that the kid might have died, but now...

He could hardly believe that the youth, who he thought only had the ability to absorb sunlight and engage in hand combat, actually possessed such strong abilities! Oh, now he understood everything.

"The basement before, and suddenly appearing upstairs..."

Chris pieced everything together in his mind, shocked.

Energy comparable to armor-piercing rounds, and instantaneous movement...

So, the kid really did fly up to the bedroom before...

Chris couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"So this is the 'little bit of power' the kid said he was hiding?"

He initially thought the kid was only hiding one ability, but it turned out he was hiding two more? Thinking back to how he had earlier praised the other party, thinking they were doing the right thing, Chris felt a bit embarrassed.

However, speaking of which, the kid did have quite a variety of powers.

Instantaneous movement, black energy, the previously revealed solar absorption, and that mirror-like ability—did the kid have a total of four powers?

"Four abilities, indeed not bad, although each isn't very strong, it's rare among mutants," Chris mused.

While the other's abilities were still not as strong as those of powerful mutants, relying on four abilities gave him a decent combat capability, and overall utility was good.

"Did the kid just slip away because he couldn't use his powers anymore, or was he running out of stamina?"

Chris thoughtfully, drawing on his rich experience, sensed something amiss.

It seems the kid's abilities weren't as convenient as he thought...

Finally, Chris's bearded face broke into a smile, "I wonder what Magneto would look like if he knew he had a son with decent abilities."

"And that Professor X..."

"I remember those two are still at odds right now, really interesting. I'd love to see their faces when they find out, haha..."

As a former member of the mutant Brotherhood, he naturally knew some things about the two, aware that they had once been very close friends, only to part ways later due to differing ideals.

Professor X believed mutants could coexist peacefully with humans, whereas Magneto thought mutants were superior and that humans, who had always harmed mutants, should be eliminated.

The two continued to fight for their respective ideals, Professor X's X-Men and Magneto's Brotherhood still often clashed.

But, even now, when the two met, they could still talk like friends, each deeply trusting the other.

Chris couldn't help but imagine the expressions on their faces once they knew the identity of the kid.

As he fantasized, police sirens sounded in the distance, several police cars and ambulances gathered around.

Captain George watched as his team members were loaded into ambulances, hate flashing in his eyes, as well as anger towards those who provided incorrect intelligence.

He began organizing data, preparing to report the details of the battle and the intelligence error to the base chief, Alexander.

At the same time, he planned to question Captain Kenny about why he provided incorrect intelligence that led to the death of five of his team members!

That brat, clearly not as weak as the intelligence indicated. If it weren't for the faulty intel, they wouldn't have underestimated the enemy and suffered such losses...

As he organized the reportable information, Syd Castell, who had fled into a dark alley, walked without knowing where to go.

Leaving Chris's house, he only then remembered that he seemed to have nowhere to go.

Not only did he not have a place to stay, but he also had no money...

Memories of his foster family came back to him.

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

Syd shook his head.

Maybe the moment he arrived, he'd be captured by the authorities.

As he frowned and pondered, the sound of soft footsteps came from nearby.

"Who's there?" he looked over.

He was momentarily stunned at the sight; three disheveled black men holding sticks and other objects were looking at him with ill intent.

"What do you want?" Syd frowned.

Seeing that he noticed them, the three black men chuckled.

"What do we want, hehe..."

They glanced at each other, a malicious gleam in their eyes.

"Kid, hand over your money and belongings, don't make us get rough."

"Don't think about resisting…" The tall Eli smiled broadly, swinging his stick.

The three looked at him menacingly, their eyes filled with scorn, not believing the skinny young man in front of them could do anything about it.

Just this little arm and leg, they could handle him with one hand, haha...

Syd had an expression of 'just as expected'.

At this point, he was too lazy to complain. Who knew walking through a dark alley could actually lead to encountering thugs?

He had wondered where all those thugs for superheroes to fight came from, turns out he was overthinking it; this place was a mix of prosperity and chaos?

Thinking this, he coldly said, "I have no money or possessions on me, I advise you to leave, otherwise…"

With his current fragile body, naturally, he was no match for the three tall, strong black men; to resist, he would have to use his powers...

Eli and the others were startled, then all somewhat laughed, thinking the young man in front of them must be crazy to talk like that.

Capítulo 15: Chapter 15

"Damn it, then don't blame us!" Eli cursed as he raised his club to strike Syd.

Unfortunately, just as he raised his hand and before he could strike, Syd was already lifting his right hand.

"Divine Finger!"

[Divine Finger Experience +1]

Along with the alert from Divine Finger, Syd's right hand was already pressed against Eli's chest.

Crack, crack—the sound of shattering glass mixed with the crunch of breaking ribs.

With a thud, Eli was sent flying four or five meters away, rolling on the ground and wailing in agony.

"Mut... mutant..."

The remaining two were utterly shocked.

This youth was a mutant? They looked at Syd with eyes full of fear.

They could never have imagined that just stepping out to make a quick buck would turn into such a dire situation! Regret began to set in.

They thought they could easily bully this young man for some money? He was a demon, a devil!

Seeing the dreadful state of Eli from just one touch, they lost all desire to fight and turned to run.

Unfortunately, before they could get far, the chilling voice of the devilish youth rang out.

"Stop, hand over all the money you have, or else..."

Saying this, Syd glanced at the black man still lying on the ground wailing, and uttered a familiar line, "You don't want to end up like him, do you?"

"Here, here, take it!" Jamie and the other man were terrified, hurriedly pulling out all the money they had.

Even more, they crouched next to Eli, helping him fish out some cash from his pockets.

Having obtained the money and initially intending to let them go, Syd reconsidered due to his dwindling energy and let them take the injured man and leave.

Looking at the couple hundred dollars in his hand, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Good thing I had some energy left, otherwise..."

Syd shook his head.

If those last two hadn't been so scared and dared to confront him, he might have really been in trouble! Thinking about this made Syd yearn even more for strength.

"I'm still too weak, I have too little energy inside..."

After sighing, Syd, holding the dollars in his hand, planned to find some food and clothing.

While he was struggling to survive and waiting for daylight, George was already driving towards Laboratory No. 23 to report the situation and question some matters.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the laboratory and quickly went to the office of the base leader, Alessandro.

"What did you say, that Experiment No. 37 has escaped again?"

"All of you, more than ten people, and you couldn't catch a mutant?"

"Are you all useless?!"

Alessandro sat in his chair, hands clasped under his chin, staring sharply at Kenny and George.

Captain George, hearing this, hurriedly defended, "It's not our fault!"

He glanced angrily at Kenny standing beside him, "Captain Kenny gave us incorrect information, which led to..."

"What?" Kenny, a burly man like a tower, frowned, "What incorrect information?"

George furrowed his brow and slowly explained what had happened.

"What?" Captain Kenny's eyes widened in astonishment, "That kid was only supposed to be able to teleport a meter or two, and you're saying he can teleport nearly ten meters? And that the range and power of those black energy orbs also didn't match the reports?"

"That's impossible!"

He was incredulous.

"But it is the truth!" George said angrily, "Captain Kenny, it's all because of you..."

"I..."

"Enough, stop arguing!" Alessandro was also surprised and halted their bickering.

Seeing them look his way, his face showed a hint of interest, "It seems that No. 37 has his own schemes, clever enough to hide."

Hide? Kenny and George exchanged a look of astonishment.

"Just like that kid hid two abilities before, I think it's the same this time," Alessandro said with a slight smile, explaining thoughtfully, "Either that kid has made significant progress in developing his abilities recently, or he intentionally hid his strength earlier."

"I'm leaning towards him having hidden his strength before. After all, no one can improve so much suddenly; only hiding his strength explains it."

He couldn't help but admire the young mutant's cunning.

"So that's how it is."

Kenny and George had a moment of realization, finding this explanation plausible.

At that moment, George frowned, "Then, the capture of No. 37 might be difficult moving forward, I really don't know if he still has hidden capabilities."

"Don't worry." Alessandro smiled slightly, his calm demeanor reassuring, "Being able to hide two abilities and some of his strength likely pushed him to his limit. The next operations should not face any surprises."

"Send more people this time, add some of the newly developed sentinel robots, and carefully plan it out. We will definitely capture No. 37!"

He turned to Captain Kenny, instructing, "This time, you will go with George."

Captain Kenny nodded, his face eager, clearly already keen to deal with No. 37.

Hearing this, George couldn't help but smile inwardly.

He smirked to himself.

Now that they had information on that kid, there was no way he could escape this time! Especially with the help of the sentinel robots, he couldn't see how that kid could possibly get away! Thinking of his fallen teammates, his eyes were filled with hatred.

As they planned their operation and had people collect more information about No. 37, there was a stir online.

As Denim uploaded the video to the internet, many people noticed this sensational video and began commenting after watching it.

"Damn, are those officers useless, how could they lose?"

"This mutant is so powerful, not only can he teleport, but he can also launch those terrifying black things, totally unpredictable!"

Watching the video of the youth constantly teleporting and then casually firing black energy, nearly killing a person effortlessly, many viewers felt fear.

Still, most agreed that, despite the young mutant's prowess, he would eventually be apprehended by the authorities.

"Video owner, we need a follow-up, I want to see the end of that youth!"

"Exactly, we want to see the footage of that youth getting caught, I can't sleep well without seeing him captured!"

"Let's guess, when will that young mutant get caught?"

As the public debated, anticipating the young mutant's imminent capture, some mutants also saw the video, their eyes flashing with surprise.
