Late at night.
On the highway near Smallville.
Vroom!
A tanker truck full of gasoline was steadily cruising down the highway.
Inside the truck, a high-energy rock song played.
The driver, a man named Kade, bobbed his head to the music.
Honk!
As the truck rounded a sharp bend, Kade saw an old pickup truck parked not far ahead, illuminated by his headlights.
"Damn it," Kade cursed under his breath. "Which idiot parked in the middle of the road?"
Honk honk!
Kade pressed the horn, the sound carrying through the night, but there was no response.
"What's going on?" Kade frowned slightly, instinctively glancing at the time. He had to deliver this gasoline by the deadline, or half his pay for the trip would be deducted.
Click.
The middle-aged man pushed open the door and grabbed his APXA1 Pistol from the passenger seat.
In the free US, long-haul truck drivers typically carried weapons to avoid robbery and unexpected risks.
Kade gripped the pistol, adjusted his baseball cap, and walked toward the derelict pickup, grumbling, "Fuck! Whoever you are, move your damn car right now!"
Rustle.
A rustling sound came from the dense woods nearby. Kade tensed, tightening his grip on the gun. "Who's there!?"
Before he could get closer, the man felt the gun handle grow increasingly hot.
"Shit!"
It was like the gun had been left to bake in the scorching desert for an entire day and night. The extreme heat made Kade cry out in pain, and the firearm slipped from his hand, clattering to the ground.
"What's happening?" Kade stared in horror at the glowing red pistol. This bizarre sight made his heart pound, and he unconsciously swallowed hard.
Could I have run into something supernatural?
Vroom!
The roar of a truck came from behind him.
Kade turned his head and saw his own truck speeding towards him. In the driver's seat sat an old middle-aged man with a sinister grin.
"Die!" A cruel expression appeared on Watt's face as he floored the accelerator, lightly steering the wheel to send the large truck hurtling towards Kade.
The headlights shone on Kade's face, illuminating his terrified expression.
"No!"
Splat!
Like hitting a soft sack of flour, the unfortunate truck driver was flung by the front of the truck before he could even cry for help. He slammed onto the concrete roadside, rolling repeatedly until he lay motionless on the ground.
Watt's gaze was cold as he watched the driver lying dead beneath the truck, as if the person he had just killed was nothing more than an ant.
He had decided to take revenge. This decision was made three minutes after he acquired his abilities.
Everything that happened tonight gave Watt a strange feeling. Ever since he discovered he could control fire, Watt had been brewing a "perfect" plan in his mind.
First, when Principal Guan got into the car, he used fire to melt the door lock, sealing it shut, then ignited the car, burning Principal Guan alive.
Although the plan had a few minor flaws—the dying Principal Guan was saved by that damned Jino—Principal Guan wouldn't live much longer with those injuries.
Watt wiggled his corpulent body, letting out a sigh of satisfaction.
Hmm,
His plan was proceeding smoothly, and now, Watt had decided to eliminate the person he hated most: Jino Luthor.
However, Watt also knew that Luthor Manor was heavily guarded; it wasn't a place just anyone could infiltrate.
He was stout and broad, making it difficult to sneak into Jino's room alone to burn him. But that didn't mean Watt wouldn't find a way.
After some thought, the man came up with an even more vicious plan.
Since he couldn't sneak in, he might as well rob a tanker truck and do what people on the other side of the world did.
He would drive the tanker truck toward Luthor Manor, then jump out the moment the truck crashed into the manor, and use his ability to ignite the gasoline.
Then there would be a boom as it exploded, blowing everyone in that manor sky-high.
The music inside the truck interrupted Watt's thoughts. The man pulled a crumpled map from his pocket.
Watt mumbled to himself, "Alright, let's see how to get to Luthor Manor."
He was about to turn on the interior light when a soft chuckle came from behind him.
The voice was calm and had a gentle tone as it said, "Drive straight for two kilometers, then turn left for one kilometer, then right onto Smallville South Road. After that, drive straight for five hundred meters, and Luthor Manor will be on your right."
The owner of the voice seemed very enthusiastic, meticulously explaining to Watt how to get to Luthor Manor.
However, this sudden voice sent a cold shiver down Watt's spine.
The reason was simple: he should have been the only one in the car. So where did that voice from behind come from?
"Bang!"
Watt immediately turned on the car lights. The orange glow dispelled the darkness, bringing light.
Under the illumination of the lights, Watt saw an elegant young man through the rearview mirror.
He was sitting casually in the back seat, legs crossed in sweatpants, one arm resting on the window, the other hand gently on his thigh, fingers lightly tapping his knee. His azure eyes were fixed on Watt with amusement.
"You!"
Watt's expression changed drastically. The person sitting in the back seat was Jino Luthor!
Before he could even process how the other person had snuck into the car, Watt instinctively made his hands glow with a scorching heat haze.
Watt was just about to turn around and smash his fist into Jino's face when, the next second, everything went dark.
Jino's actions were much faster than his.
Before Watt could make a move, Jino suddenly reached out and grabbed Watt's neck.
"Thud!"
An irresistible force caused Watt's head to be slammed hard against the steering wheel.
"Beep!"
The truck let out a long honk.
"What, I gave you directions, and not even a thank you? Coach." Jino's expression was placid as he grabbed Watt's head again.
"Thud!"
It was another intimate collision between his temple and the steering wheel, but this time, Watt only felt dizzy. The continuous impacts made a buzzing hum echo in his ears.
Jino emotionlessly repeated the action with his hand. During this time, Watt tried to reach out and push away Jino's left hand, but that arm, as if cast from reinforced steel, was incredibly hard. Watt's burning flames couldn't harm it in the slightest; instead, it only made Jino speed up the frequency of the impacts.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
A rhythmic thudding sound, accompanied by Watt's wails, echoed inside the car.
"Thump!"
Another impact, and this time, Watt didn't even have the strength to cry out.
His forehead was split open, covered in crimson blood that stained his entire fat face.
"Slam!"
Jino pushed open the car door and kicked Watt, who was like a dead dog, out of the car.
The chubby coach lay weakly on the cold concrete pavement, everything in his vision appearing as a double image. He saw countless "Jinos" walking towards him.
"P-please, please don't kill me." Watt was scared, truly scared. He feared Jino's ruthlessness, and the fact that the other person wasn't afraid of his flames. All of this proved that he was no match for Jino.
Watt spoke with difficulty, "I was wrong. I'm very sorry."
He wanted to beg for Jino's forgiveness.
He saw Jino slowly squat down.
He heard the young man's cold voice: "If apologies worked, what would we need the police for?"
