Chapter 783: Encounter Again
Watching Su Xinhe's retreating figure fade into the dim light, that silhouette was tinged with stubbornness.
Even though Su Xinhe didn't say anything, he could feel that she always seemed to want to surpass him.
As Su Xinhe passed the corner, her white knuckles gripped tightly, and her silver teeth bit lightly onto her thin lips, "Lin Mo, even though you once amazed me, I will definitely surpass you."
After saying that, Su Xinhe quickened her pace, stepped out of the café, and felt her cheeks caressed by the night wind, which seemed to clear her head and gradually relive the grip of her clenched fist.
At the moment, a fiery red Ferrari stopped by the street, and out stepped a blonde and blue-eyed woman in a black skin-tight leather outfit, her blue eyes gleaming with a playful look as she stared at Su Xinhe.
"Miss Chen, you seem to be in high spirits. Out for coffee so late?" the woman asked with a smile.
"Gloria, are you following me?" Su Xinhe's face instantly regained its icy demeanor, her tone carrying a hint of anger. Gloria chuckled and responded, "Miss Su, you really misunderstand me. With my status, how could I dare track you? It's just that Master Billy ordered me to ensure your safety. I did see Miss Su entering the café with a gentleman though. May I know who that gentleman is to Miss Su?"
"Don't you think you talk too much?" Su Xinhe frowned tightly and said, "Remember, you are just my bodyguard."
Gloria took a deep breath, her chest heaving with obvious anger, but soon she suppressed the rage in her heart and said with a bow, "Miss Su, I spoke out of turn."
"Back to the hotel," Su Xinhe said as she opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
It wasn't until the rain started to fall outside that Lin Mo put down his coffee cup and prepared to leave.
The moment he stepped out of the café, he suddenly saw several black sedans chasing each other on the road, with the leading black sedan obviously being pursued by the others.
Lin Mo frowned, thinking that the public safety abroad seemed to be not as good as in Huaxia.
But it had nothing to do with him, Lin Mo didn't want to get involved. However, he then saw a flicker of blue light from one of the cars, and the first car's tire burst instantly, struggling to stabilize as it wobbled.
"Superpower User?"
Lin Mo finally took an interest and simply cast an Invisibility Technique, following behind the cars.
The cars drove on the road, heading towards the suburbs before stopping on an empty road in the outskirts. With far fewer people abroad compared to Huaxia, it was rare to see anyone for miles around in the suburbs.
At that point, the leading car finally stopped.
The three black sedans chasing it also stopped, and immediately, a dozen or so men dressed in black suits and sunglasses streamed out of the cars, each holding an MP5 submachine gun. The leader was a Bald Man with a tattoo of a majestic eagle clutching Earth inked on his scalp.
Lin Mo, invisibly standing aside, was surprised to see the man look over towards him curiously, then frown and look away.
Lin Mo was somewhat astonished to be noticed, knowing that with his current spiritual power, most Superpower Users couldn't detect his presence. It was clear that this person was a master of spiritual power, or else he wouldn't have sensed anything unusual.
But even so, it was enough to startle Lin Mo, who hadn't expected to encounter so many incidents upon arriving in Seattle.
However, the Bald Man apparently just sensed something odd and couldn't truly find Lin Mo. As he diverted his gaze, he puzzled to himself, "Could I have sensed it wrong?"
Lin Mo, however, was quite interested in the tattoo on his head; those who dared to have such tattoos were usually of the overlord level, just like some people in the Martial World back home who liked to tattoo Guan Yu onto their bodies.
"Eagles clutching the Earth," symbolizes the arrogance of a nation like M, dominating the Earth and looking down upon Earth people. It is the epitome of hubris.
The Bald Man's gaze fell upon the vehicles ahead, and with a cold laugh, he said, "Miss Tang, you can't run now. Come down obediently."
A man and a woman finally emerged from the vehicle in front, both appearing to be in their early twenties.
The woman was dressed in casual clothes, with a melon-seed face and delicately applied makeup. However, her pretty face was deathly pale. "How did you know I was in Seattle?"
"I'll tell you that later, but right now, Miss Tang, I need you to cooperate with me and come along," said the Bald Man with a sinister smile.
Lin Mo frowned slightly as he watched the woman. She seemed familiar—it was Tang Yitong, whom he had met in Huaxia half a year ago. However, they had only met once at that time, and he would have probably forgotten her by now if not for his photographic memory.
"Miss Tang, you go first. I'll hold them off," said a blonde, blue-eyed man, stepping in front of Tang Yitong with a grave expression on his face.
"Norman," Tang Yitong's eyes widened in recognition, knowing that if Norman could truly stop them, they wouldn't be in such a miserable state right now.
Norman staying behind was just to buy her some time to escape with his life.
"Heh, you think you little brat can stop me? Just an A-level Superpower User," scoffed the Bald Man with a look of disdain.
Suddenly, the Bald Man's pupils emitted a strange blue glow. Norman's body trembled, his facial muscles twisted violently, and a blue eerie light surfaced under his skin, as if he were undergoing excruciating torture.
"Norman, what's wrong?" Tang Yitong was startled.
"Miss Tang, today you have no way out. If you come with me, maybe I'll spare him a small life," the Bald Man said with a vile expression.
"Don't, Miss Tang, just go... I won't... even if I die," Norman struggled desperately, his voice strained.
"Useless."
The Bald Man snorted coldly.
Suddenly, a green Light Blade emerged from Norman's palm and he thrust it into his shoulder. The blade pierced through, blood gushingly flowed out, staining his clothes red.
"Miss Tang, I'm giving you three seconds to consider..." the Bald Man said with a cold laugh.
Clenching her white fist tightly and biting her moist lips, Tang Yitong finally said, "Let Norman go, and I'll come with you."
"For someone as understanding and stunningly beautiful as Miss Tang, it's no wonder someone would be willing to sacrifice their precious life for you," said the Bald Man with a smile. At this moment, he suddenly turned his head, his eyes widening to see a black-haired, black-eyed youth standing nearby.
There had clearly been no one there a moment ago. Seeing this Huaxian youth, the Bald Man felt his scalp tingle and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Tang Yitong and Norman also noticed the sudden appearance of the person. Although no one had been paying attention to that direction, everyone was sure that there had been no one there, and now someone appeared out of nowhere, like a ghost, as if materializing from thin air.
"It's you."
Upon recognizing the youth, Tang Yitong first froze, then exclaimed in surprise.
