Chapter 466: Atom Eve
"One beef burger, one orange juice. Make it a double beef burger. Remember to bring it to my Office when it's ready."
Xia Shang's battle suit had already transformed into a proper white suit during his descent.
After placing his order at the front desk, he strode towards the back kitchen.
His Office was located behind the kitchen, a small but relatively clean and tidy Room.
Sitting behind the desk, Xia Shang pressed the power button on the computer. At the same time, he called Cecil on the phone, requesting an account with extremely high authority to log into the Global Defense Bureau's top secret website.
The content on it was incredibly rich, including detailed files on various incidents, experimental projects being developed, ability analyses of Superheroes, and so on.
Of course, the truly top secret content was impossible for Xia Shang to see.
"Poison Gas Explosion Incident, Lizard Alliance Attack on The Pentagon Incident." In the relevant personnel sections of these two files, Xia Shang saw the name of Director Cecil, Cecil Stedman.
It turned out that many years ago, when Cecil was still an agent.
During a sudden mission, his carelessness led to the operation's failure, resulting in him being captured by two extreme Terrorists who claimed they wanted to create a new world and a new order. They tied him to a bomb, attempting to spread the poison gas produced by the explosion throughout the entire City.
As expected, the bomb was detonated, and a large amount of deadly chemical gas capable of instantly decomposing protein enveloped Cecil and the Terrorists at the explosion's center.
However, at this critical juncture, Captain Britain arrived in time, evacuated the public, and saved Cecil.
But by then, Cecil's skin had been completely disfigured by the toxic gas, with almost all of it ulcerated and severely damaged, except for a small patch at the corner of his mouth that remained relatively intact.
Later, after Cecil woke up in the Hospital, his attending Doctor helped him replace his skin with artificial skin. Only the original corner of his mouth was kept, at Cecil's strong and resolute request.
According to Director Cecil himself, the specific reason was that he hoped the scar at the corner of his mouth would remind him every time he looked in the mirror that he had messed up the mission, causing seventeen innocent lives to be lost. It was a painful lesson, and he must never repeat the same mistake.
"So that patch of skin at the corner of Cecil's mouth is the only part that's truly his."
Xia Shang recalled the first time he met Cecil; he had noticed the scar at the corner of Cecil's mouth felt inconsistent with the surrounding skin, but he hadn't paid attention at the time.
Subsequently, he clicked open another file.
The content of this file was about a criminal organization called the Lizard Alliance that attacked The Pentagon, which was the Global Defense Bureau at the time.
Under the Lizard Alliance's attack, The Pentagon quickly fell. Agent Cecil, risking his life, desperately escorted his superior, the former Director of the Global Defense Bureau, Radcliffe, away.
However, during their retreat, they were discovered by the Lizard Alliance's strongest combat power, the 'Komodo Dragon', who blocked their path.
Just as the two were about to lose their lives, Radcliffe's two bodyguards appeared in time.
They saved the two from the Komodo Dragon, but Cecil then discovered that the two were actually the true culprits behind the Poison Gas Explosion Incident many years ago.
Although Director Radcliffe explained that he had arranged fake death certificates for the two and allowed them to atone for their crimes by serving as his bodyguards and sparring partners for the Special Forces, the Director stated that employing them was far more valuable than locking them up in Prison.
But Cecil at the time ignored Radcliffe's explanation, believing that evil deeds could never be written off. Thus, without any hesitation, he pulled out his gun and shot dead the two bodyguards who had just saved them. Because of this, Cecil committed murder and was sent to Prison to receive punishment.
After reading this file, Xia Shang was somewhat surprised. He was surprised that Cecil hadn't hidden his experience, because committing a crime and going to Prison is extremely disgraceful for any leader, especially for the Director of the Global Defense Bureau.
"I didn't expect Director Cecil's personality used to be so righteous and decisive in dealing with evil." Connecting this to Cecil's current attitude towards Omni-Man, Xia Shang felt a strong sense of the dragon slayer becoming a dragon. Cecil ultimately became like his former superior, Radcliffe.
However, Xia Shang could very well understand this transformation.
To make good use of Omni-Man, and to ensure the safety of Earth and humans, Cecil could only become the kind of person he hated the most.
After a brief moment of reflection.
Xia Shang clicked open another page, the one about Superheroes.
He wanted to see if he could find the next analyze target there. Soon, his gaze locked onto a girl named Eve.
Name: Eve.
Nickname: Atom Eve.
Currently ranked fourth on the internet, a member of the Teen Team.
Ability: Can rearrange atomic structures with her mind, changing matter...
(Full information is only accessible with the highest level of authority) "Shetty!" Xia Shang was a bit speechless; it actually prompted him that his authority was too low.
But it must be said, Eve's ability is definitely the most abnormal and has the highest upper limit he has ever seen, even Omni-Man cannot rival it. He just doesn't know if there are limitations, but Xia Shang guesses there should be, otherwise Cecil wouldn't need to be so wary of Omni-Man.
If she could truly change the atomic structure of creatures at will, Cecil wouldn't need to rack his brains every day for the safety of Earth and humans.
If Eve just waved her hand at an enemy, they would probably vanish into thin air.
"I need to get the full data from Cecil, at least find out where she is, so I can analyze her." Xia Shang vaguely felt that Eve's ability was very likely the strongest ability in this world, or one of them.
Putting aside everything else, just the control of atoms alone gives her enough incredible potential.
If he Fused this ability, he could just call it a day and go home.
"Store Manager, your burger is ready." A knock sounded, and the waiter entered the Office with a tray.
"Thanks, just put it there."
Xia Shang casually pointed, then picked up the mobile phone beside him and called Cecil again.
"Do me another favor, I want all the data on Atom Eve."
Director Cecil on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, seemingly not expecting Xia Shang to bring up Atom Eve.
"What do you want her data for?" Cecil asked.
"I'm a little curious about her ability. If you don't want to tell me, you can just tell me where she is. I mainly don't want to spend time looking for her," Xia Shang said, eating his burger and swallowing.
"She's a bit special, let me think about it." With that, Cecil immediately hung up the phone.
Then, turning to his deputy Donald beside him, he shook his head helplessly: "I really don't know if recruiting him into the Guard Team was the right or wrong decision. He hasn't done much work, but he's always making demands."
