After arriving at school, Su Xin set aside his complex thoughts and began to study seriously.
Upon realizing he was sowhat arrogant, he didn’t consciously suppress this impulse; instead, he planned to follow it and change his behavior.
But he also knew that short-term indulgence was fine, yet if this arrogance and impulsiveness were allowed to develop, he would gradually proceed towards extremism, towards boundless darkness.
It’s the will that must be placed above instincts and desires; otherwise, no matter how many superpowers or strong abilities one has, they are just a monster driven by instincts and desires.
As his power grew stronger, the world’s constraints on him would beco smaller, and without external constraints, all his actions would rely solely on his own will for control.
So, upon sensing the change in his mindset this ti, Su Xin thought about enhancing his will through learning.
He no longer rely studied for a good educational record as before, but genuinely imrsed himself in knowledge, imrsed in the process of learning.
He found several decent comprehensive learning websites and picked so well-known philosophical books to start reading.
At noon, after lunch, he still joined several friends to play basketball, expending his youthful energy, and afterward, they sat chatting beneath the basketball hoop as usual.
Su Xin joined in the conversation indifferently.
At a certain mont, a dark-skinned boy suddenly asked mysteriously:
"By the way, have you heard of the black cloak?"
"Black cloak? What is that?"
Soone looked surprised, while others hesitantly said, "I’ve heard about it, but I don’t know if it’s real. I heard the black cloak is a Superpower User, like in the movies, with the ability for Instant Teleportation."
The rest imdiately expressed disbelief:
"Impossible!"
"Movies are movies; how could there be Superpower Users in reality? Where did you hear such legends?"
"It’s too outrageous."
"You two are adults, how could you believe such outrageous tales?"
"If there were Superpower Users, this world wouldn’t only have one. Information spreads so fast now, and if there were Superpower Users, it should have been widely known by now."
"That’s not necessarily true. If there are Superpower Users, they’d certainly be captured by research institutes, and those Superpower Users would know to hide themselves. It’s normal for us ordinary people not to know."
The dark-skinned boy spoke seriously:
"You shouldn’t disbelieve. Yesterday, my cousin ca to my house for dinner and told us that he saw the black cloak himself last week. The person vanished right before his eyes."
"My cousin is very close to my family, and he never lies. If you don’t believe, you can ask others. Many people know about the black cloak’s existence; it’s all over Lening City, but related keywords are blocked online, so there’s no way to discuss it there."
So still showed disbelief.
Others were now skeptical.
"Really? Then tell us, what did the black cloak do? Why do so many people know about him? Doesn’t he have the ability for Instant Teleportation? How could he be caught by others then?"
The dark-skinned boy replied, "He’s not discovered by others; he doesn’t even try to avoid them. But since he always acts at night, most people don’t have the chance to see him."
"Every ti the black cloak appears, he’s teleporting around, combating evil and upholding justice, so quite a few people have seen him, and that’s how his reputation spread."
Soone showed admiration.
"Then he’s a good person."
"I’d love to have such a power myself."
"Instant Teleportation! It’s the superpower I envy most when watching movies, and it’s cool to think it exists in reality!"
"Luckily, the black cloak is a good person; otherwise, with his power, if he decided to steal everywhere, no one could ever catch him."
"If I had such a power, I’d just want to travel the world."
"As for , I’d go to bank vaults..."
The conversation grew more lively.
Su Xin joined in their daydreams.
...
Late night.
Having completed the day’s two million in charitable donations and successfully accrued 2288 causal points, Su Xin donned his black cloak gear and, after several days, swaggered once again onto the streets of Lening City.
Though he hadn’t shown up these days, the black cloak’s reputation had spread wider, so now even high school students knew of his existence.
Yet since he hadn’t surfaced recently, Lening City, which had seed peaceful days ago, began to see various forms of cri sprouting again.
Having saved two young people from a beating outside a bar, Su Xin teleport along the wide road, heading towards Kangbo Biotechnology Company’s direction.
The Nirvana Association’s investigative team, along with Yonghui Financial Group’s Dragon Soldier Reserve Squad, soon noticed him.
Additionally, Su Xin deliberately revealed himself, using short-distance fixed-point Instant Movent slowly towards Kangbo Biotechnology Company, giving them a chance to prepare, so both groups were swiftly moving to encircle him.
The Nirvana Association’s investigative team focused on investigations, and ordered by superiors not to engage until the black cloak’s identity was clarified.
Thus, they hid at a distance, utilizing drones with night vision caras for aerial surveillance, while only a control center disguised as a comrcial vehicle closely followed on the ground.
The Dragon Soldier Reserve Squad’s captain Zhuo Jiayi led his eight n and fifteen n from the Wolf Fang Squad, a total of twenty-four people, ard and poised as if gearing up for a great battle.
Days ago, the black cloak road cities around, exhausting Zhuo Jiayi, finding no opportunity to ambush.
Now, with the black cloak reappearing in Lening City, it’s their best chance.
Even though Zhuo Jiayi suspects the opponent’s unusual behavior might be problematic, he needs to try or face mission failure.
At that mont, a voice ca through his earpiece.
"Report captain, unidentified drone detected in the sky, on our path."
Zhuo Jiayi sternly responded, "Destroy it! And imdiately track the drone’s origin!"
"Roger!"
Next mont, several drones soared from one of their vehicles, rushing towards the black drone in the sky.
The drones having been hovering above them adjusted altitude, avoiding the forthcoming combat.
Though not a formal army, with the financial group’s backing, their weaponry surpasses many nations’ formal military equipnt in strength, completeness, and advancent.
Once the combat drones ascended to the sky, faint noises erged shortly.
Those noises were of suppressed gunfire.
