The Strongest Outcast

Liu Xiaojiang shook his head. Although he could try normal food and taste all kinds of food, he could not get any satisfaction from it.

therefore,

Compared to enjoying the unique taste experience of tea, he actually prefers those sweet, industrially produced beverages—after all, they're just meaningless, purely sensory experiences…

Sugar is the ultimate source of happiness.

Seeing the disdain on Liu Xiaojiang's face, Sun Lanlan was slightly taken aback and quickly said, "Is that so? What would you like to drink, sir? Coffee? Soda? Or..."

"no need."

Liu Xiaojiang dampened Sun Lanlan's enthusiasm, saying, "Compared to this, Miss Lanlan, I actually hope to finish this order as soon as possible, after all... um..."

Everyone's pretty busy.

"Alright." Sun Lanlan couldn't hide her disappointment, but she quickly cheered up and smiled, "Sir, you really are extraordinary."

Upon hearing this,

Liu Xiaojiang glanced at Sun Lanlan with some surprise, but considering that explaining might complicate matters further, he decided not to say anything more and instead asked again:

"Miss Lanlan, the opponent's abilities..."

Sun Lanlan immediately shook her head. "Sir, you are unaware that the attack occurred at the very beginning of the incident. My family are all ordinary humans. Although we knew of the existence of superhumans, we didn't truly understand them."

In addition, when the other side attacked us,

He was also wearing a mask on his face.

Therefore,

We didn't even know who the other person was.

"only……"

Having said that,

Sun Lanlan seemed to recall something terrifying, and said with a tremor in her heart, "That person seemed to be able to snap people's necks out of thin air. The bodyguards didn't even touch him at the time, but after he stated his purpose, when they tried to draw their guns to subdue him..."

His head was suddenly flipped 180 degrees...

Hear this,

Liu Xiaojiang slowly frowned, looking thoughtfully at Sun Lanlan. "From what you've said, it seems Miss Lanlan was also attacked?"

"But the opponent's strength sounds pretty good, and you're just an ordinary person..."

How exactly did they escape?

Sun Lanlan replied with a dim look in her eyes, "My life was saved by the bodyguards. After witnessing their methods, one of the bodyguards immediately took me and ran away, while the others stayed behind to buy time."

At last,

I survived unharmed.

[...That guy actually killed so many ordinary people for no reason, Brother Jiang! In this situation! There's no need to show mercy! It doesn't matter if the target lives or dies! (Angry)]

"They are all good people."

Liu Xiaojiang glanced at the text on his phone screen. He already knew the company's rules and regulations, and now that he had encountered this guy who had killed so many ordinary people, Erzhuang didn't need to say anything more.

because,

Whether it's the company's methods and attitude towards such extraordinary individuals, or simply their personal preferences...

These people have all been sentenced to death.

The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can use self-control to suppress desires that can never be satisfied.

And this kind of person

Liu Xiaojiang even felt that he, as a special being, was far more like a real human being than such scoundrels.

"Yes, the bodyguards are all good people. They are my benefactors, just like you, and I will never forget their kindness."

As Sun Lanlan recalled her previous dangerous experiences and the horrific deaths of her bodyguards, the composed demeanor on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep sense of self-reproach.

"Has this matter affected other ordinary people?" Liu Xiaojiang asked again, following company procedure.

however,

Sun Lanlan thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be. Attacks usually happen at night, in places without cameras. So, during this time, our real estate development project has been suspended."

"Because I was on my way back from inspecting the project when I was attacked."

"As for the families of the bodyguards who sacrificed their lives, we also said that they were attacked by foreign terrorists and gave each family a completely reasonable compensation."

Liu Xiaojiang nodded. "Alright, from now on, I will personally ensure Miss Lanlan's safety. Please also ask the Ten Elders to temporarily abandon their protection here. The company's suspended real estate development projects can also resume."

after all,

We also need to give them a good opportunity to strike.

“Okay, Mr. Liu, I can make the arrangements right away. But... won’t you be in danger in such a direct confrontation?” Sun Lanlan understood what Liu Xiaojiang meant, but she still looked a little worried.

Upon hearing this,

Liu Xiaojiang looked at Sun Lanlan with a half-smile, "Miss Lanlan, please rest assured, since the company has agreed to send me alone, I am naturally confident in dealing with troublemakers."

If you encounter it,

I promise to give the bodyguards' families a very reasonable explanation.

……

Half an hour later,

Liu Xiaojiang followed Sun Lanlan back to the chairman's office inside the group with a normal expression, but he did not go into the office directly. Instead, he chose to stay outside the office alone.

[Brother Jiang, what exactly are you planning to do? (Question)]

Liu Xiaojiang sat on a chair outside the office door, looking as righteous as a door god. He glanced at the text on his phone screen and said:

"Isn't the situation quite clear now?"

"The other party is nothing more than someone who can't integrate into the circle of supernatural beings, or someone whose personality has drastically changed due to the awakening of innate superpowers. Since such a person wants to target the Sun Group's board of directors and their family, whatever their purpose,

He won't give up easily.

[He's just a madman, would he really be this persistent? Maybe he's also planning to rob a bank? (Suspicion)]

See here,

Liu Xiaojiang shook his head with a half-smile, "If you're not persistent and stubborn, how could a perfectly healthy person go crazy? Besides, of all people to target, why target a financial backer like the Sun Group, which has close ties with the company and the Ten Elders?"

"Okay, even if he wasn't someone who couldn't integrate into the superhuman community, but just an ordinary person who suddenly awakened innate superpowers, would robbing the Sun Group be seen as something a normal person would do..."

Is it necessarily less impactful than robbing a bank?

[Something's fishy about this! (Suddenly realizing)]

"I don't know anything about it."

Liu Xiaojiang slowly raised the corners of his mouth, finding it quite amusing. "However, this matter is certainly not as simple as it seems on the surface. There might be some even more interesting developments."

[Heh, Brother Jiang, why do I get the feeling you're hoping things get more complicated? Have you forgotten that this deal only comes with the company's subsidy? (Evil grin)]

"grass."

Chapter 31 Fierce Attack

"all in all!"

Thinking of the reward for this mission, Liu Xiaojiang gritted his teeth and said reluctantly, "I don't believe that the guys targeting the Sun Group are just trying to make a quick buck for themselves."

[Maybe so. By the way... Little Jiang, you might not know this, but there are actually quite a few self-proclaimed smart fools in this world. (Evil grin)]

Upon hearing this,

Liu Xiaojiang neither agreed nor seemed to deny this statement. He suddenly recalled Sun Lanlan's description of the enemy's capabilities and wondered:

"Erzhuang, I remember there's a detailed record of all kinds of innate superpowers inside the company. Based on Sun Lanlan's description of the attack, the attacker's ability is probably one of them. Let me think..."

Correct,

This innate ability should be called 'telekinesis'.

Am I right?

Yes, but... Brother Jiang, I don't think we can confirm the other party's abilities yet. Based on Sun Lanlan's description, while the other party's ability seems to be a telekinetic power, it may not necessarily be the common telekinetic ability.

According to the company's investigation,

Telekinesis generally cannot directly affect living beings. (Seriously)

Furthermore, even if someone could enhance their supernatural abilities to the point of influencing living beings under certain circumstances, the effect would still be minuscule, perhaps even negligible. (Serious)

However, situations like this, where someone's spine is snapped without warning and through telekinesis from a distance, cannot be explained simply by "acting on a living being." Therefore... is the other person's ability truly telekinetic?

This still needs to be confirmed. (Seriously)

Of course, there are many kinds of innate abilities that people with supernatural abilities awaken. This might really be an innate ability related to telekinesis, but it could also be a type of telekinesis that we have never seen before. (playful)

Just at this time,

Liu Xiaojiang's eyes suddenly glanced at the stairwell not far away, but he remained seated in his chair without moving an inch.

After a few breaths,

"Hmph, whatever superpowers they have, if they can't break through my physical strength, then it's all for nothing."

Liu Xiaojiang has never been an arrogant person, but after his recent 'face-to-face confrontation' with the five members of Quanxing, his already inflated self-confidence has become even stronger.

While the five members of Quanxing weren't exactly top-tier experts, they included three of the renowned "Four Madmen of Quanxing," as well as two weapon refiners who would be considered formidable even by ordinary supernatural beings. Faced with such individuals, even ordinary supernatural beings would have no choice but to turn and flee.

He would naturally overestimate his own abilities because of this.

Besides,

There seemed to be other people hiding near the stairwell, and his somewhat inexplicable words weren't entirely directed at Erzhuang.

as predicted,

After these words, which were enough to reveal his abilities,

He immediately noticed a faint sound coming from near the stairwell.
