Chapter 191: I Need Tonics

Flight had always been an unattainable dream for humanity.

In Migu Country, there were certain superpower organizations that gathered many abnormal humans who possessed abilities beyond ordinary people. Take Curly-haired Laine, for example. He had accidentally discovered that he could manipulate the force fields of others, causing them to lose their balance and fall. Naturally, this force field had certain limitations. For instance, the target had to be within one meter of him, and they couldn’t exceed a specific weight limit.

Thus, Laine was a superpower user.

Then there was Thomas, whose superpower was even stronger—he could release high-temperature blue flames. Naturally, he also had his limitations. For example, the flames couldn’t be released on rainy days or in the early mornings. Regardless, there were many bizarre restrictions.

However, while there were numerous superpower users abroad, not a single one possessed the superpower of flight. To fly, one had to grow wings.

But at this very moment, Thomas and Laine saw a living, breathing person suspended in midair, flying toward them from the horizon. Even though the two had long accepted the existence of superpowers, they couldn’t help but be terrified.

Sha Shun was also frightened. He knew the man his sister had found was very powerful and bizarre, capable of throwing darts and jumping incredible distances. But this guy could actually fucking fly?

Fly? Had he become an immortal? Had he reached the legendary realm among Qi Refiners?

Amidst the trio’s dumbfounded stares, Lin Jian landed and walked up to Thomas.

Thomas knew how to speak Chinese. Although his pronunciation wasn’t standard, he could at least communicate. It was precisely because he could speak Chinese that Lin Jian had Sha Shun bring them here.

"What is your name?" Lin Jian asked, looking down at Thomas.

At this moment, Thomas looked awful, and he could no longer sense his blue flames. "Respected sir, my name is Thomas Charles Curry. You can call me Thomas!"

This guy had quite the mouthful of a name.

"Respected sir, my name is Laine Kondo," Curly-haired Laine introduced himself, surprisingly speaking Chinese as well.

Lin Jian asked in surprise, "Both of you speak Chinese?"

Thomas hurriedly answered, "Respected sir, I often deal with people of Chinese descent, and my neighbor when I was young was also Chinese, which is why I can speak the language. As for Laine, his girlfriend is Chinese!"

Lin Jian nodded. "Mm, very good. Thomas, can you tell me, are there many superpower users around you?"

Thomas’s expression changed. After waking up, he had discovered that his blue flames had vanished, making him unable to release them anymore. Recalling his previous fight with Lin Jian, he faintly guessed that his superpower had most likely been stripped away. Therefore, upon hearing Lin Jian ask about other superpower users, he immediately shook his head. "No more. There are no other superpower users around me."

Laine also nodded repeatedly. His superpower had vanished too, which meant this flying man in front of them had stripped them of their abilities. They absolutely couldn’t let him strip their other companions of their powers.

Lin Jian sneered. What had he asked Sha Shun to capture them for? Wasn’t it just to find out if they had others of their kind? He could absorb the superpowers of these superpower users to accelerate the ripening of his Dao Fruit. Therefore, the more superpower users there were, the better.

However, since he wasn’t getting the answer he wanted, he snorted coldly. "Shunzi, throw the two of them down. Since they’re of no use, what’s the point of letting them live?"

Sha Shun stepped up to the two men in a single stride. Grabbing one in each hand, he hoisted them up and walked straight to the edge of the rooftop!

"No, no, respected sir, don’t throw us down! We still have companions! We have companions! Please forgive our lies! Please forgive us!" Thomas was almost scared to the point of peeing himself, and Laine was sobbing, snot and tears streaming down his face as his whole body trembled like a leaf.

Sha Shun looked back at Lin Jian.

Lin Jian nodded. "If you dare to play any more tricks, you can go see God."

"Yes, yes, yes! We wouldn’t dare! We wouldn’t dare!" Thomas and Laine nodded repeatedly.

"Then, answer my previous question."

"Yes, yes." Thomas took a deep breath and said, "In our organization, there are three other superpower users."

"Right, right, right. There are five of us in total. The five of us formed the Black Gloves."

"Mm, what superpowers do the other three have?" Lin Jian asked curiously.

"One of them can hold his breath underwater for up to half an hour. Another can read other people’s minds, and the last one is a hypnotist!"

Lin Jian frowned. These three superpowers weren’t all that great. He glanced at Thomas and Laine. Neither of them dodged his gaze, which meant they were telling the truth. But regardless of what the superpowers were, they should still act as the nourishment the Dao Tree needed.

So he ordered coldly, "Now, immediately call your three companions to come over."

Thomas’s and Laine’s expressions turned incredibly ugly...
