Chapter 289 -289: The Hidden Enemy

“Attack other Superpower Organizations?”

After Lin Xue finished explaining the troublesome situation she faced, my first reaction was surprise.

“Didn’t you say that Superpower Users are pretty rare? And it seemed like most of the country’s Superpower Users had already been included in the Superpower Organization you’re a part of. How come, all of a sudden, it sounds like we’re in an era where Superpowers are a dime a dozen, and Superhumans are as common as dirt?”

Lin Xue, unapologetically and frankly, gave me a huge eye roll and said, “Look at how you described it… Yes, Superpower Users indeed are quite rare, and most of the valuable Superpower Users have been recruited by our organization, but I never said there are no small independent Superpower Organizations, right?”

“You should remember, when the situation of the Superpower Organizations was introduced, what I said: Although Superpower Users are rare, they are not unimaginably rare treasures. It’s just those possessing Superpowers who are also strong enough to be significantly useful are indeed few. In our organization, the genuinely powerful Superpower Users, including myself, only amount to twenty or thirty people. These individuals are primarily the leadership scattered across the nation, and usually, they only act when serious problems arise. The rest, although capable, lack either the necessary power or stability or are individuals who, despite not possessing Superpowers, have received extensive training, with skillsets far beyond ordinary people. They form the main force of the organization. Their abilities might be average, but they far exceed those of ordinary people and can handle most tasks. Among these members, those relatively weak but battle-capable Superpower Users, combined with our few dozen high-level cadres, make up a large portion of China’s Superpower People. The rest are independents outside the organization, most of whom only have slight anomalies compared to ordinary people. Though classified as Superpower Users, they aren’t fit for our work and wouldn’t be much stronger than normal people even if they joined us. Naturally, these independents don’t get employed by us, but as a special group, they also form teams, mostly small circles like clubs, gathering together due to their common identity and topics. Such small organizations are not few in the world, at least over a hundred are registered… Well, of course, that’s a loose statistic, meaning just a hint of Superpower is enough to be classified as a Superpower User. Strictly speaking, only two or three small teams could truly be called organizations…”

“To give you a more tangible impression, I can tell you why those independent Superpower Users can only be described as slightly stronger ordinary people,” Lin Xue continued, her face suddenly betraying a hint of a smile she was trying to suppress. “There’s one example that comes to my mind, where their ability was jokingly called ‘Undying Big Teeth,’ yes, that’s the moniker…”

Before Lin Xue could finish, Ding Ling couldn’t help but burst into laughter, even laughing her way under the coffee table…

From this, you could tell just how hilarious that ridiculously named ability must be…

Lin Xue herself was holding back laughter but managed to continue, “That ability, well, it’s a type of regenerative power, but… it’s only the regeneration of a single front tooth… That ‘Superpower User’ has one perpetually regenerating front tooth. He accidentally broke that tooth four times, but each time it successfully grew back. Of course, ordinarily, this could be categorized as a genetic mutation, but what’s key here is that the regeneration could be controlled at will, marking the clear line between genetic mutation and Superpower…”

Sure enough… it was a painfully ridiculous ability…

“Of course, that’s an extreme case, but most independent Superpower People aren’t powerful—that’s just a fact. They form teams, and as long as they behave themselves, we usually just leave them be. Sure, there might be a few powerful Superpower Users who, due to special reasons, refuse to join our organization, but those cases are even rarer…”

“The recent instances of small-scale Superpower Organizations being attacked are precisely such squads,” Lin Xue’s introduction paused there.

Though the example of the “Undying Big Teeth” was both shocking and painfully ridiculous, seeing the serious expression on Lin Xue’s face let me know this was no laughing matter.

“The victims, despite being from small-scale Superpower Teams, mostly comprised fairly strong Superpower Users, including two who had reached B-level but chose to remain independent due to personality issues and ended up vegetative due to the attacks. Various signs indicate these incidents were all organized and planned,” Lin Xue said with an unusually grave tone. “This is enough to substantiate the severity of the situation. Recent intelligence also indicates these attacks, along with that troublesome smuggling gang, might be orchestrated by the same organization, which further complicates matters…”

“Speaking of which, Lin Feng had mentioned something about that smuggling gang to me before… Have you still not figured out what they’re smuggling? It should be relatively easy for you, right?”

Obviously, I hit the nerve of Miss Lin’s current most frustrating issue, and my reward was a long-awaited but not missed uppercut followed by a Rising Dragon Strike plus a mandated Double Kick.

“I just can’t figure it out! You, such a big block of wood, seem pretty happy about it, don’t you?! How am I supposed to do anything when that bunch of jerks somehow manage to temporarily block my powers?”

Miss Lin was throwing a tantrum while still making me float in the air…

Hey, hey, hey! It shouldn’t be like this, right?! It’s Lin Xue who came asking for help, isn’t it? As the one being asked for help, I should be the one high-spirited and triumphant, not tossed around by this conniving, venomous-tongued brute who threw me into levitation, right?

Or is it that Lin Xue has already evolved into a terrifying nemesis of mine? Or has the lifestyle of sitting around and growing mold these last few days degenerated me to a point where I’m utterly subdued by a violent woman?

“You two really get along well together…”

Just then, Ding Ling, with a serious tone, commented out of the blue, which petrified Lin Xue on the spot.

I almost forgot that here beside us was another hidden card, an individual who grew up alongside Lin Xue and whose sarcasm was by no means inferior, capable of confusing the battlefield without messing with the overall positive effects of the scene…

My mind must have been kicked into moot by Lin Xue just now…

Then, Big Sister intervened, “Alright, alright, you two stop it, let’s focus on what’s important here…”

No matter the circumstance, Big Sister always seemed capable of suppressing any chaotic scene like a god… Just with those words, even the wildly arrogant Miss Lin quieted down…

Still, I thought it would have been even better if Big Sister had said those words before Lin Xue launched her ruthless physical attack on me.

“So, there’s a mysterious organization lurking in the shadows,” Big Sister summarized the information from Lin Xue, “They’re organized and systematically attacking Superpower Users who are both outside the Superpower Team’s sphere of influence and comparatively powerful. At the same time, they might also be secretly smuggling goods from around the world that even the Superpower Team can’t trace… Meanwhile, they have devised a method to make Lin Xue, the Prophet, unable to monitor them accurately… What we need to do is help expose this cunning organization and then destroy it, no problem, right?”

Lin Xue reluctantly nodded, saying, “Embarrassing as it is, that’s the situation…”

“Alright then,” Big Sister smiled, “That’s settled.”

“Huh?”

Big Sister, even if you genuinely want to find something for our unorganized, indisciplined gang that doesn’t even have a formal external title to do, could you please not so easily agree to Lin Xue’s request? Especially when Lin Xue is lowly seeking help, you just let the little brother lose the hard-earned chance to turn the tables, which is just too cruel! At the very least, give me a half-hour chance to finally turn the tables and shake down this troublemaker for something valuable, will you?
