Chapter 234 - Metahuman (1/2)

*Shuffle*

As the awkward silence settled down around them, a sound quickly provided Shroder some much-needed respite.

A golden-haired girl suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Fei, giving himself a fright. If not for Jiang Fei's sound mind, he might have reflexively thrown a punch at her!

The girl was holding an intricate teapot in her hands. She poured a glass of thick red tea into the cup before Jiang Fei.

"Hehe, this is my sister, Jenny. Her nickname is Flash." Shroder said with a laugh as he introduced his sister. However, he secretly sighed in relief.

His sharp senses had sensed that Jiang Fei had been poised to strike. Jiang Fei had barely stopped himself in time. Although Shroder's sister had the ability to instantly teleport away, she could not continuously use it. Besides, as a Level Two Metahuman, she could not possibly withstand an attack from a Level Four Huaxia martial artist!

Although Shroder was also a Level Four Metahuman, his attacks were more effective in long-distance combats. He would not be able to take on a skilled Huaxia martial artist up close!

Little did Shroder know that Jiang Fei's capabilities did not come from his body, and instead depended on the equipment he wore. Jiang Fei could not deliver such powerful blows with every single punch. The effect had only been activated when he had punched his opponent the third time!

In fact, Jiang Fei was unlike any other Huaxia martial artist. Other Huaxia martial artists, Han Tianyu included were not particularly powerful, but they had started training at a very young age. Their fighting techniques were not something Jiang Fei could compare to.

However, Shroder had made presumptions about Jiang Fei which had thoroughly misguided himself. He believed that all of Huaxia's martial artists were skilled in battle techniques. The higher one's level was, the more skilled they grew. Against Jiang Fei who was a Level Four Metahuman, he had to be powerless.

"Hi! How are you? I am Jenny!" The golden-haired lady appeared to be very bubbly as she greeted Jiang Fei and initiated a conversation.

"Hi, how are you…" Jiang Fei replied. However, he still did not know what to say to these siblings.

The awkward situation persisted for nearly two hours. Shroder and his sister were speaking most of the time while Jiang Fei seldom interrupted.

One of the reasons was that Han Tianyu had asked him to speak less and to listen more. Secondly, Jiang Fei had no idea how to keep up with Shroder's various in-depth topics and philosophies. All Jiang Fei could do was to agree, again and again.

After the conversation, Jiang Fei did in fact acquire a lot of useful information. For example, he learned that there was a Metahuman organization in every country, such as the Huaxia Martial Artists Alliance in Huaxia, the North American Mutants Brotherhood, Europe's Light and Dark Association, and some other smaller Metahuman organizations in other locations.

Some of these Metahuman organizations had existed for a long time, while others were newly established. For example, Huaxia's martial artists were a legacy that had been passed down from one generation to the next, whereas North American's mutants were created through injecting genetic potions into the bodies of special people, which awakened their innate special abilities!

As for how the genetic potions were created, Shroder had remained tight-lipped, and neither did Jiang Fei press him much. After all, they had only just become acquainted.
