“I don’t distrust you, but I need proof that this guy is really dead!”
Calapa took a drag from his lit cigar, speaking through a cloud of smoke.
“Of course, my team will bring back his corpse!”
The man in the suit smiled faintly.
Suddenly, a voice from the second team came through the communicator:
“What’s going on? This little boy appeared at the villa entrance. How did he bypass the first team? Well, it doesn’t matter, he’s dead…”
Then, a burst of static crackled from the communicator.
“Second team? Second team?”
“It seems… Mr. Calapa, you’ve stirred up big trouble. This boy is probably a rare Level Five esper!”
The man in the suit said, frowning.
“What? Aren’t you the world’s number one mercenary? So many people can’t handle a child?!”
“Oh! You want more money? Are you and your team colluding to extort me!”
“Business has rules. If your men are dead, it’s because they were too weak, not anyone else’s fault! I won’t give you a single cent more!”
Calapa said, pointing at the man in the suit’s nose.
“Very well, I don’t want the money then!”
“Transaction canceled!”
The man in the suit smiled indifferently and moved his right fingers slightly.
Suddenly, Calapa clutched his throat in pain. In a short while, his face turned crimson.
Like a fish out of water, he desperately opened his mouth to breathe, but found he couldn’t.
Even calling for help became a luxury.
Thus, Calapa sat on the ground in despair, his legs kicking wildly from suffocation, and soon became completely still.
His eyes bulged, as if he had hanged himself.
“Ah!~”
“Murder!”
The two female models, terrified, turned and ran out of the house.
Suddenly, two geysers of water erupted from the swimming pool, dragging the two women into the pool.
No matter how they struggled, the water surface seemed to possess a powerful repulsive force. Every time they neared the surface, they were pushed back down.
As bubbles rose, the water gradually returned to calm.
The two models floated face down on the water, completely still.
“Kill my people, and I’ll show you what cruelty is!”
The man in the suit twisted his stiff neck and stood leisurely in the hall.
*Bang!*
The door was kicked open, and a six or seven-year-old boy wearing a toy mask appeared before him.
“Where is Calapa? I only have trouble with him. Don’t anyone else get in my way! I don’t want to kill anyone!”
Zhang Mo said in a childish voice.
“Tsk tsk tsk, it’s truly impressive that a child can possess such formidable power!”
“My name is Siflos, leader of the world’s number one esper mercenary team. We possess wealth beyond compare and supreme power!”
“If you are willing to join us, I can make you the captain of the third team, bringing glory to your ancestors!”
Siflos said confidently.
“I don’t know you, and I’m not interested in your suggestion. Where is Calapa? I want to find him!”
Zhang Mo asked.
“Calapa is already dead. I killed him. Here is his passport, and his body is by the sofa. You can confirm it yourself if you don’t believe me!”
Siflos tossed the passport forward. The passport, suspended in mid-air, suddenly seemed to be held by something and floated slowly towards Zhang Mo.
He displayed this skill to showcase his powerful esper talents.
“Hmm, it is indeed this guy. Are you his enemy?”
Seeing that Calapa was dead, Zhang Mo’s tense emotions immediately relaxed, and he asked.
“No, I am not his enemy. On the contrary, he was once my employer, paying us to do his bidding!”
“The two esper teams who blocked you earlier were acting on his orders.”
“However, compared to this pig’s money, I would rather keep a talent… that is you!”
“Your joining is absolutely more valuable than fifty million. So, what are your thoughts?”
Siflos urged him earnestly.
“I want to go home. As I said, I’m not interested in your suggestion!”
Zhang Mo said, turning to leave.
“Refusing me is choosing death!”
“Sorry, child, in my moral code, there are no exceptions for children!”
Siflos said, clenching his right fist.
His ability is to control water!
The reason he killed Calapa earlier was by using his saliva to seal his trachea, suffocating him to death.
As for using the water in the swimming pool to kill the two models, that was child’s play.
External water was easy to control, but the water within the human body was the most difficult to control.
His feat of killing Calapa demonstrated his formidable control over his esper abilities.
As for delivering the passport to Zhang Mo, he naturally used a small amount of water to do so, and then the water vaporized, disappearing without a trace.
Such perfect control of his esper abilities left many confused about what Siflos’s true abilities were until their dying moments.
And for espers, hiding one’s abilities was the best way to eliminate enemies by surprise.
“Hmm?”
Siflos expected to control the liquids within Zhang Mo.
However, after activating his ability, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with absolutely no effect.
“How is this possible? Swim!”
Siflos spread his arms wide, desperately mobilizing his energy.
Soon, the water in the swimming pool, like a giant python, slowly emerged from the pool and lunged viciously at Zhang Mo.
“What is this? Water esper ability?”
Zhang Mo clenched his right fist and attacked the giant python made of water.
“Fool, you think physical attacks can destroy water? How ridiculous…”
However, before Siflos could finish speaking, he witnessed a scene that left him stunned!
The entire giant python made of water was shattered by Zhang Mo’s small fist!
Countless water droplets splashed out and rained down, as if a heavy downpour had begun.
“This… how is this possible?”
Siflos had killed dozens of physique-type espers with this move. None of them could repel the giant python with a physical attack.
How did Zhang Mo do it?
In fact, for Zhang Mo, this was not an overwhelmingly powerful esper ability, but merely the impact wave generated by the collision of pure speed and strength with the water surface.
Purely a physical attack!
It was just that, prior to this, there had not been such a strong physique-type esper in this world.
“It’s not over yet, I still have my ultimate move, Jade Water Sky Cover!”
Siflos mobilized every cell in his body, expanding his esper abilities to their maximum.
The previously clear sky outside was instantly obscured by dark clouds, and the sea also became turbulent.
“Facing such water power, can your physique still hold up? By the sea, I am invincible… *cough*…”
Before Siflos’s esper ability could be fully unleashed, he was lightly struck by Zhang Mo.
*Whoosh! Bang bang! Thump thump! Boom!*
Siflos was sent flying dozens of meters back, bouncing continuously through the air and on the ground, overturning countless pieces of furniture, smashing through two walls, before finally stopping.
