Chapter 455: Director Cecil!
"What do you mean? Are you threatening me?" Xia Shang frowned, sensing a hidden meaning in Omni-Man's words.
"You should be thankful that the Global Defense Agency doesn't have a criminal record for you. Otherwise, you would be facing my endless pursuit."
With that, Omni-Man brushed past Xia Shang and walked inside the house.
Suddenly, he stopped, raised his hand, and pointed towards the night sky. "You'd best not make a mistake. I'll be watching you from the sky from now on."
Watching Omni-Man's back disappear before him.
Xia Shang fell into thought. From the current perspective, Omni-Man seemed like a positive character, seemingly restricted by the Global Defense Agency, unable to casually attack people without a criminal record.
"It's truly perplexing that such a powerful Supe would be wary of a Global Defense Agency. Could there be Supes stronger than him within the Global Defense Agency?"
"Or is he a true Earth guardian? A Superhero worthy of the name?"
After a moment of thought, Xia Shang decided to leave and analyze Omni-Man another day.
…………
Omni-Man returned to the dining table and looked at Mark. His first words were to tell Mark to change jobs.
"Why? I finally found this job." Mark asked, confused.
"Sorry, I hid something from you just now. I actually know Mr. Jervis, and I fought him." Omni-Man signaled Mark with his gaze to stay calm and patiently explained, "Although it might have been a misunderstanding, this person is very dangerous. I hope you can stay away from him."
"You fought Mr. Jervis? Is he a Supe? Is he a Super Villain like Doctor Earthquake and the Moller Twins?"
Mark looked shocked. It was hard for him to imagine that his boss was actually a Supe and had even fought his Father.
"That's right, he is indeed a Supe, but he isn't a Super Villain. However, it's not ruled out that he might become a Super Villain in the future."
Omni-Man stood up, poured wine into his glass, and then clinked glasses with the still-shaken Debbie, smiling as he said, "Dear, I've already warned him. He'll stay far away from Mark."
"To be safe, Mark, you really should change jobs," Debbie said with a serious expression.
"Actually, I think I'm very safe because I've already awakened my superpower."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mark finished speaking, Omni-Man frowned reflexively. "Are you sure?"
"I'm very sure. When I was at work, I personally threw a bag of trash into space." Mark seemed a little excited about awakening his superpower.
"That's wonderful, my dear son, I'm so happy for you," Debbie patted Omni-Man's hand, then raised her glass and clinked it against Mark's Karaku.
Debbie knew that Omni-Man didn't seem to want Mark to awaken his superpower. As for the reason, she believed it was because Omni-Man just wanted his son to live a calm and ordinary life.
"Kid, I knew you could do it. Remember to get up early tomorrow, and I'll teach you how to master your superpower," Omni-Man said with a forced smile.
"It seems the plan needs to be advanced."
He sighed inwardly, a subtle flash of killing intent in his eyes.
…………
The next morning.
A black sedan stopped in front of the burger shop. Following it, an old man with white eyebrows and hair, and several scars on the right side of his mouth, got out.
The old man wore a black suit, and the collar of his white shirt underneath seemed to have been ironed, appearing flat and neat. He gave off the feeling of someone who had been in a high position for a long time, exuding the unique pressure of someone in a high position. Walking into the Hamburger Supermarket, the old man's gaze quickly locked onto a man.
The man was standing in front of the television, eating a freshly made burger in his hand.
"Mr. Jervis."
Hearing someone call his name, Xia Shang turned around and looked at the sharply dressed old man.
"I am Cecil, the Director of the Global Defense Agency. If you're willing, I'd like to talk to you."
"No problem." In this world with an extremely high prevalence of surveillance cameras, Xia Shang was well aware that as long as he appeared alive in the burger shop, he would definitely attract the attention of the Defense Agency.
He just didn't expect the Defense Agency to act so quickly, and the person who came looking for him wasn't a regular agent, but the high-ranking Director, which was certainly giving Xia Shang a lot of face.
Of course, this was inseparable from his terrifying record of emerging unscathed after battling Omni-Man yesterday.
The two then found an empty table and sat down.
"Tell your soldiers to put their guns away. I don't like being pointed at with a gun," Xia Shang said, looking around.
"You can actually see them?"
Director Cecil waved his hand, telling the invisible unit Kakushi to lower their guns.
"My eyes can see through things, so as soon as they came in, I saw several sets of internal organs floating before my eyes." Xia Shang called a waiter to bring a cup of juice, then handed it to Director Cecil across from him.
"These are my ace troops."
Cecil took the cup and continued, "You should know why I've come to find you, right?"
"If you're here to ask for compensation, I can only say sorry."
Xia Shang put down the burger in his hand, then wiped his mouth with tissue paper. "Aside from this shop, I'm not worth much. And I believe you saw yesterday's combat; I was constantly being passively beaten. If you want to seek compensation, you should be looking for Omni-Man."
"I've already spoken to Omni-Man. He said yesterday was a misunderstanding, and thankfully you're still alive, preventing him from making an irreversible mistake." Cecil took a file from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"This is your file. It's clear from it that you should have only recently awakened your superpower, and you have no criminal record."
"I won't beat around the bush. To be frank, I came here this time to invite you to join the Global Defense Agency. I hope you will consider it."
After hearing this, Xia Shang neither agreed nor refused. He simply picked up the file and glanced at it.
Hmm, the identity the system arranged for him was very ordinary, an orphan with nothing special about him.
"Can you answer me a question?" Xia Shang asked.
"Please ask."
"Is Omni-Man from Earth?"
"Sorry, all information regarding Omni-Man is highly classified content. Unless you join the Global Defense Agency, you do not have the authority to know this," Director Cecil shook his head.
"OK, then I choose to join."
Xia Shang agreed directly and readily.
This caused Cecil, who had prepared several persuasion plans before coming, to be stunned. He hadn't expected Xia Shang to agree so readily; it was completely unexpected.
