Chapter 275 - The Terrible Thing About The New Silver Ability: Time Suspension!
Chapter 275 The Terrible Thing About The New Silver Ability: Time Suspension!
Since the ability seemed like it was perfect for use in a sneak attack, sneaking up on people on his own and not having Janet involved seemed to be much better.
After all, who’d be able to prove he did something if they were in a situation where he hadn’t even been at the scene of the incident?
Thinking like that, Su Yang planned to try the ability out. He didn’t want to be scratching around like a blind person for his raincoat invisibility if something were to happen.
Su Yang even saw a speck of dust through the mirror. It was suspended in front of him, remaining stationary in the air.
He also felt like his body was incomparably heavy. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and he was unable to move his body. Even his hands seemed like they had been trapped in an iron mold so he couldn’t move them.
He gritted his teeth and pressed down with his hands, using all the strength he could muster, only to hear a loud bang. “Boom!”
The sky lit up with a flash of lightning, and black clouds rolled in from all directions, plunging him into darkness…
When Su Yang saw light again, he found himself in front of a huge ‘sandbox’. On it was houses that seemed like building blocks, along with trees, roads, and people who stood stationary on the street.
At this moment, his neighborhood seemed like a candy box of buildings to him. It was as if he could, if he wanted, to flick them away with the flick of a finger.
While deep in thought, Su Yang stretched out his hands and realized that it was casting a shadow over the neighborhood. It was like his hand was a five-fingered mountain, and the whole neighborhood was a child’s toy.
Su Yang tried his hardest to move it, but it seemed like it was stuck to the ground. He couldn’t
Because of that, Su Yang hesitated and tried to click on a building instead. Suddenly, his view zoomed in, and he was now at the building.
Just like a ghost, he could see all the scenes in the building. He entered a random room and found a familiar person stationary on the couch.
She had a baby face, looking a bit childish but cute.
Su Yang was a little surprised to look around the room. He realized that this random spot was actually Qu Xiaomeng’s home. ‘It’s too big a coincidence, right?’
Su Yang sized up Qu Xiaomeng, who had disposable gloves on both hands as she dug into Korean sweet and spicy fried chicken. Probably from not paying attention, a piece of fried chicken escaped her hands and fell toward her chest. The moment time stood still was the exact moment her fried chicken fell toward her chest.
Su Yang looked in front of him and saw that the piece of fried chicken would land on Qu her clothes. Due to Qu Xiaomeng’s well-known ‘assets’, the piece of fried chicken would probably bounce a few times before it was caught by her clothes.
‘Well… This is too sloppy.’
As the thought crossed his mind, Su Yang flicked his hand and the stationary piece of fried chicken flew toward Qu Xiaomeng’s hand.
“Huh? So I can move these items around without touching them? ‘That’s great. It doesn’t leave fingerprints.
‘But… Can I touch the object, I wonder?’
With that in mind, Su Yang pinched Qu Xiaomeng’s face. This silly teacher. I never knew this English teacher had quite the smooth and tender face.’
Su Yang tugged on Qu Xiaomeng’s clothes and found that he could also tug on her clothes.
“This…
“This item is too awesome, right?
‘What if I do something bad?
‘But five minutes doesn’t seem to let me do much.’
As a result, Su Yang experimented with Qu Xiaomeng and found that he could actually make her move, adjusting her like an object with merely his will. The only limitation was that he couldn’t control her to do things that were beyond the limits of her original body.
For example, Qu Xiaomeng’s body was rather average in the flexibility department. So, even if Su Yang wanted to make her do a split, she could only go down a little before her body gave in.
After the test, Su Yang willed Qu Xiaomeng to return to her original state, and naturally, he remembered to put the piece of fried chicken back into her hand.
After Su Yang finished testing all this, five minutes had ended, and the endless black clouds once again enveloped him from all directions, leaving Su Yang with darkness in front of him.
The moment his ability ended, time returned to normal. Dust began to fall, passersbys began to walk, and the surrounding noise started once more.
Qu Xiaomeng, who was at home watching TV while eating fried chicken, was also busy trying to catch the fried chicken that was about to slip away. However, she found that the fried chicken was still in her hand just as she was about to reach for it.
She was a little confused. ‘Huh? I just remembered that the fried chicken slipped out of my hands, why is it still in my hand? Did I recall wrongly?’
Qu Xiaomeng looked up at the sky for a few seconds and couldn’t figure out the confusing incident.
However, since the fried chicken didn’t fall on her clothes, Qu Xiaomeng stopped worrying about the trivial matter and continued watching TV like the optimistic person she had always been.
However, when she was watching TV, she felt a slight pain in her crotch. It was as if she had just done a split.
In the next building, Su Yang was rolling around in pain, covering his right hand with his left after ‘saving her clothes’ and testing his ‘hands of fate’.
‘Godd*amn it! It hurts so damn much! This stupid power mentioned breaking a finger. It didn’t mention that my finger would snap just like that!
Although there was no blood, the pain was real! His finger had disappeared into thin air like it was a special object.
Su Yang was in a cold sweat as pain numbed his body. He rested for almost half an hour before the pain slowed down a little. However, he still felt a tingling pain where his finger was broken.
He didn’t think that testing an ability like that would make him go so crazy with pain. This was much more ruthless than the (Lucky Disfiguring Brick). At most, the brick was like a slap on the face. However, his finger was broken this time, and the pain would last him an entire day.
Taking in a deep breath of cold air, Su Yang resolved in his heart that he wouldn’t use this ability unless there was a critical moment in the future!
If you were wondering what a critical moment was… Perhaps, he would have to deal with Zhao Xiao.
Su Yang wasn’t going to delay any longer. Since he had already broken a finger, and breaking one or two fingers was going to hurt all the same, he decided to screw Zhao Xiao over since he was already hurting anyway!
At the same time, in Villa 1 of Longteng Jiayuan, Zhao Xiao expressionlessly hung up the phone.
He had just sought help from a second-generation wealthy young master who was usually a good friend. However, after learning that he wanted to make an enemy of Su Yang, the young master refused without hesitation, saying that he didn’t want to get involved in what was going on between them. Nobody was a fool. Although Zhao Xiao said that he had investigated Su Yang and that he didn’t have a strong background in Shanghai, who would believe it? Nobody would know if Zhao Xiao said that on purpose or not.
So, after testing the waters with young masters that he wasn’t as close with, Zhao Xiao realized that those without tightly bound interests couldn’t be relied in times like these. However, Zhao Xiao didn’t place much hope on these guys since the very start anyway. He was just taking the opportunity to test out a theory.
Even if they were unreliable, it doesn’t mean that other people with related interests wouldn’t be reliable.
So, Zhao Xiao adjusted the glasses on his hawk-like nose, picked up the phone, clicked the phone book icon, swiped down, and selected a number, and dialed it after testing the bunch of young masters.
“Beep… Beep… Beep…” The call was quickly answered.
Zhao Xiao said, “Brother Liu, yes. It’s me, Zhao Xiao. There’s been some trouble, and there’s someone stirring things up.”
“Right… He has the accounts in his hand. I need you to pressure him for me. Check to see if there are any problems with his taxes. He’s got three or four companies in his possession, so there’s no way he isn’t having problems.”
“Good. Thanks, Brother Liu, I’ll do it as soon as possible.”
Hanging up the phone, he flipped through the phone book and dialed a number again, “Hey, Sister An, it’s me, Zhao Xiao. How do you feel about that pair of male models last time? Not bad? That’s great, that’s great.”
“It’s like this, we’ve had some trouble on our site, and we’ve lost the accounts.”
“Calm down, I’ve already found the man. So I need a little help from your side to see if I can check if there are any problems with the finances of a few of his companies.” “Okay, okay. You can rest assured.”
Hanging up the second call, Zhao Xiao dialed another number. “Right. I need you to find a reason. Such a person obstructing public order, provoking trouble, and more. I’d lock him up for some time. Give me some time and I’ll definitely resolve the matter satisfactorily.” “Right, right. It’s best to lock him up for a while longer. Okay, good. Please work hard to make this happen.”
Zhao Xiao dialed number after number, each of which was numbers of dignified figures in Shanghai from every department imaginable. They would all target Su Yang and his companies.
He even made a call to the banker of Purple Technology, asking for a favor to suppress the stock prices of his company, preferably for more than half a month.
After making a bunch of phone calls, Zhao Xiao stood in front of the curtainwall in his villa and thought out loud about his plan, wondering if there was anything he had missed. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly and inexplicably thought of the head of security. Thinking about the tragic situation, Zhao Xiao bowed his head and hesitated for a long time before finally gritting his teeth. Then, he put down his phone, took out a delicate small phone from the drawer along with a brand new, unused sim card before inserting it into the phone.
He turned it on, and there was only one number in that phone. However, Zhao Xiao didn’t dial it. Instead, he opened the call menu and manually entered a line of numbers.
The number dialed, and the mobile phone handset sounded. “Beep… Beep… Beep…” After a while, a powerful and strong voice came from the other side, “Young Master Feng, are you facing something you can’t solve? Is that why you gave me a call? Aren’t you doing well for yourself in Shanghai?”
Although he was addressed as Young Master Feng, Zhao Xiao was not surprised in the slightest. He said with an expressionless face, “I’m having a pretty good time. However, don’t address me as Young Master Feng, my surname is now Zhao.”
The middle-aged voice laughed and replied, “Sure, sure, sure. Your surname is now Zhao. I heard that you found some useless second-generation wealthy people in Shanghai and built a whole villa community. Now, you’re specializing in underground businesses. If Old Feng finds out, I guess you’ll really lose that Feng surname of yours.”
