“Claiming to be a Celestial Being?”
Chen Xiao started, “Is that so?”
“Of course. Since we’ve found you, we’ve come with sincere intentions to cooperate, and we wouldn’t lie to you.”
President Brand said.
Chen Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, “But why did you look for me?”
He subconsciously wondered if the President of the United States knew about the Heavenly Dao and his experiences.
But then, Chen Xiao dismissed the thought. Presidents of the mundane world likely didn't have that much power or reach.
Moreover, Brand didn't seem to know what a Celestial Being was at all.
“Heh, Mr. Chen, to be frank, we’ve sought out every person with extraordinary abilities worldwide that we could find, whether they were from the righteous or evil factions… because this Celestial Being is truly different.”
Mentioning ‘Celestial Being,’ a hint of fear appeared on Brand’s face. “Normal people like us, whether righteous or evil, have humanity, a human touch, to some extent. But in that Celestial Being, we felt nothing of the sort… it was as if he viewed us as a different species. Mr. Chen, can you understand what I mean?”
Chen Xiao nodded.
Of course, he understood. In the eyes of a Celestial Being, Earth’s creatures were merely food, nourishment. Why would they need to exhibit humanity?
Just as no one would show humanity towards a field of corn.
“As you know, we’ve searched for all the extraordinary ability users we could find, but before the Celestial Being, they were no match, suffering heavy losses. Therefore, this time, we’ve come to you, hoping Mr. Chen can lend a hand.”
President Brand pleaded.
“Modern weaponry has no effect on Celestial Beings, correct?”
Chen Xiao asked.
He already knew the answer, but he wanted to confirm.
Brand nodded. “Not only do modern weapons have no effect on him, but even weapons that surpass modern technology cannot deal with him. America’s extraordinary hero, the genius inventor Stark, known to the world as Iron Man, possesses super armor that surpasses modern technology. But before the Celestial Being, he was directly crushed into a can.”
“Alas, poor Mr. Stark, amen.”
As he spoke, Brand made the sign of the cross, as if praying for the departed extraordinary hero.
“I understand. I accept this task. I am willing to go and face that Celestial Being.”
Chen Xiao said calmly.
“That’s wonderful, Mr. Chen. You are indeed as our Grand Leader said, a true hero, dedicated to the nation and its people. On behalf of all American citizens, I extend my most sincere gratitude…”
President Brand’s platitudes were endless, like a sow wearing a bra, a whole set of them.
Chen Xiao, however, impatiently interrupted, “Stop. I’ve agreed to your request, but President Brand, what is the meaning of this person? Is it a test for me?”
Faced with Chen Xiao’s sudden question, President Brand’s expression froze. “Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
“Sigh…”
Chen Xiao sighed and reached out.
Then, everyone heard a yelp and a pained wail.
Following that, a man, completely clad in a black leather bodysuit, gradually materialized in the air.
“Oh, my God, Mr. Chen, you are truly amazing! You actually found the Invisible Man, who conceals all his aura. With your participation, our chances of victory have greatly increased!”
President Brand exclaimed in surprise. As for having the ‘Invisible Man’ follow him while invisible, he didn’t mention it at all.
The Grand Leader’s expression was grim, as even he didn’t know that President Brand had brought such a thing with him.
It was good that Chen Xiao exposed him! Hmph, satisfying!
The two countries were rivals in all aspects, but when facing such a powerful enemy, all humans became a community of shared destiny.
Even righteous and evil extraordinary ability users had united, let alone countries.
Chen Xiao glanced at the time, it was almost five in the afternoon. He said, “Let’s depart now. Let’s deal with the Celestial Being quickly, I want to go home and sleep tonight.”
Although he had only been away from home for a few days, Chen Xiao felt as though he had lived through an exceptionally long time. Now, he longed for home, for his mother, for Li Ziqing, for all the warmth of home.
“Uh, Mr. Chen, while I understand your desire to go home and sleep, please forgive me for saying that you might not be able to go home and sleep tonight.”
President Brand said to himself. “Because even taking my Air Force One, it would take two hours to fly back to the White House at the fastest speed.”
“We’re going back to the White House now, right?”
Chen Xiao suddenly asked.
“Yes, because all the remaining extraordinary heroes are gathered at the White House.”
President Brand’s use of the word ‘remaining’ was quite subtle.
Because it also implied that many extraordinary heroes had indeed already died.
“Alright, this is simple!”
Chen Xiao took out his Judge’s Brush, grabbed President Brand with one hand, and wrote on the ground: “We are currently inside the White House in the United States.”
Then, Brand felt a flash of light, and when his vision cleared, he found himself in the presidential office.
Chen Xiao was also beside him.
After a moment of shock, President Brand slapped his forehead. “Oh no, my God, the Invisible Man didn’t come back with us.”
Chen Xiao smiled slightly. “I did it on purpose. What use is such a waste in a fight? Why bring him?”
…
At the same time, in the Grand Leader’s office, he was looking at the Invisible Man face to face.
“Your President seems to have abandoned you.”
The Grand Leader said.
“It was your extraordinary hero who didn’t take me along,”
The Invisible Man complained in broken Chinese.
“You illegally entered the country, and you dare to blame our people? Guards!”
The Grand Leader shouted, and a group of armed soldiers rushed in.
“Take him down!”
The Grand Leader pointed.
“Heh, how naive. You ordinary people can’t deal with me.”
The Invisible Man said triumphantly, and then began to use his telekinesis to make himself invisible.
However, there was no reaction…
The Grand Leader smiled smugly and waved his hand, “Arrest him!”
After the Invisible Man was captured, the Grand Leader laughed heartily. “Chen Xiao, you kid, you’re capable, and your mind is so sharp. With just a look from me, you understood everything. You truly live up to your reputation!”
That’s right, the Invisible Man’s invisibility ability had been crippled by Chen Xiao.
And this extraordinary hero, illegally brought in by President Brand, would face the legal sanctions of China!
As the saying goes… Those who offend my China, though far away, shall be punished!
