"Keep it low-key," Luo Chao signaled to Zhang Jiazhi to not be so excited.
"Oh, I really don't know what to say! By the way, Night Blade Hero, how is your superpower so strong? And your superpower is surely not just X-ray vision, right? What other superpowers do you have?" Zhang Jiazhi asked curiously.
"You'll find out in the future, but first, you must earn my absolute trust," Luo Chao replied.
"Don't ntion it, if I had known you were Night Blade, I would follow you without pay! What you've done is truly gratifying; if only my superpowers were as strong as yours, I'd have beco the second Night Blade too!" Zhang Jiazhi said, patting his chest.
"Good, as long as you stay with , I guarantee I can make you a hundred tis stronger than you are now, making you a valuable asset for Night Blade. And yes, there will be a salary," Luo Chao smiled.
"I, Zhang Jiazhi, swear that I will follow Night Blade Hero loyally for my whole life!" Zhang Jiazhi made his vow of loyalty.
"I'll co back to see you in seven days, prepare the things you need to bring," Luo Chao instructed again.
"I don't need anything, as long as I can work with Night Blade, all these are just external possessions!"
After gathering two superpower users from Huaxia, Luo Chao headed straight to Europe.
...
France, Paris.
Looking at the twenty-year-old Parisian girl's beautiful and exquisite face before him, it's truly hard to associate her with the term superpower user.
Alice looked at Luo Chao with excitent, "Can I really go to Huaxia with you? I've loved Huaxia's ancient culture since I was young. I've also learned Huaxia characters and language; my dream has always been to live in Huaxia in the future."
Although Alice is French, she spoke fluent Huaxia, which slightly surprised Luo Chao upon first eting her.
"Of course you can, our company needs people with special talents like you to join. Alice, can you show your ability?" Luo Chao asked.
"I've already demonstrated my ability," Alice said.
"Already demonstrated?" Luo Chao was a bit surprised.
"That's right, my ability is actually—I don't age," Alice replied calmly.
"Not aging?! Immortality?" This ability indeed took Luo Chao by surprise.
However, thinking about the girl who only appeared to be twenty, yet spoke eloquently and in fluent Huaxia...
"Exactly, actually when I was twenty, I had a severe fever, and after that, my appearance and body never aged. And that year was 1730. After my parents passed away, I was driven out of the village because they discovered I wouldn't age, and assud I stole the villagers' life force to maintain my youth. Oh, the superstitious society," Alice said indifferently.
The seemingly twenty-year-old "girl" before him was actually over three hundred years old.
Such a superpower was sothing Luo Chao had never heard of; though it doesn't have any combative value, the genes in her body might be the key to solving human aging.
"Welco to join us, in our company you won't face rejection anymore; there are many people like you here," Luo Chao smiled.
"So many like , am I really not alone? For over three hundred years, to avoid the looks people gave , like they would a witch, I've constantly changed my na and residence. Even after my husband's passing two hundred years ago, I haven't stayed in one place for more than eight years. Because eventually, people around would realize I don't get old."
"I also have no friends or family, as they've all passed away. Do you know what it's like to watch your loved ones and family leave one by one?!" Alice, getting emotional, was already in tears.
Immortality, perhaps, isn't as beautiful as it seems, and may even be a divine punishnt for humans.
"You don't need to wander anymore; you'll et many wonderful friends here, and no one will look at you as an outsider. I swear with my life," Luo Chao vowed to give these superpower users a true ho.
...
England, Manchester.
"Williams, there's an Asian guy outside looking for you. Says it's sothing important, you should go and see,"
"Alright, I'm coming, can you watch over the kids for ?"
Williams was a coach at a football school in Manchester, England, twenty-five years old, standing at 188 cm tall.
He was teaching at the football academy when he heard there was an important matter with an Asian guest, so he quickly went out to et him.
"May I know who you are?" Williams asked, looking at Luo Chao with confusion.
"I was recomnded by Mr. Uri Geller," Luo Chao stated straightforwardly.
Sure enough, upon hearing the na Uri Geller, Williams' expression changed imdiately, and he quickly said, "This place isn't convenient for discussion, let's talk more at my house."
Luo Chao happily accepted.
At Williams' ho, Williams warmly made Luo Chao a cup of English tea and then asked, "How should I address you?"
"My last na is Luo," Luo Chao answered.
"Oh, dear Mr. Luo, may I ask what brings you to ?" Williams inquired.
"You're on Mr. Uri Geller's list, I think you know what that ans," Luo Chao said.
Williams lowered his head and indifferently replied, "Ah, what was ant to co has co, is it about the superpower?"
"Exactly, considering the future safety of superpower users like yourself and to prevent being manipulated by evil organizations to harm ordinary people, I hope you can join us," Luo Chao stated.
"But how do I know you're not an evil organization?" Williams asked.
"Firstly, I was recomnded by Mr. Uri Geller; you should know the character of the gentleman," Luo Chao smiled.
"Indeed, Mr. Uri Geller is a man of noble character," Williams agreed.
"Secondly, have you heard of Night Blade?" Luo Chao asked bluntly.
"Night Blade? Are you talking about the recent sensation? The hero who takes punishing evil as his mission?" Williams seed to admire Night Blade's actions greatly.
Seeing Williams like this, Luo Chao knew things were basically settled, so he said, "I don't want to hide it from you, in fact, I'm that Night Blade."
"Pfft!" Williams was so shocked he spat out a mouthful of tea.
Just as he was about to get a towel to wipe up the spilled tea, he was shocked to see that the tiny droplets of tea had all stopped mid-air!
He quickly looked at Luo Chao, his eyes filled with disbelief!
