Su Zhan said, "I believe you can do it, but there's no need. I can't keep hiding like this forever. Besides, I've already told Black Widow that I won't hide, so they won't bother me for now. Moreover, it's not that easy for them to catch me!"
"Really?"
"Really. If I get the chance, I'll show you my Ability, and then you'll understand," Su Zhan said confidently.
"Then... alright!" Skye hesitated and stopped. "But it's still not safe. Even though S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't done anything to you yet, being targeted by them isn't a good thing!"
"You're right. So... let's go now."
Originally, only Skye was leaving, but now it was two people setting off together. They left the hotel, and Skye's car was parked nearby. Su Zhan took a look and directly got into Skye's car!
"What about your car?" Skye asked.
"You said your car is your home. Since I'm your boyfriend, of course I should be with you. We don't need this car!" Su Zhan said casually.
"Alright!" Although Skye felt a little regretful, she liked Su Zhan's reasoning more.
The two got into Skye's car and quickly drove away.
Skye had long been accustomed to this nomadic life. The difference was that now she had a man by her side, her man!
Stopping and starting, their relationship grew better and better. Holding hands and hugging became almost routine, especially when sleeping at night. Although the space in the car wasn't small, it definitely wasn't large, so they inevitably slept together. Although nothing happened, the feeling of sleeping in each other's arms was enough to make their relationship advance by leaps and bounds.
"There seems to be a good restaurant here. Shall we try it?"
Su Zhan was browsing nearby restaurants on his phone and excitedly suggested one that seemed good to Skye.
"Whatever you say."
Skye said with a smile.
Driving to the vicinity of the restaurant, Skye said, "You go in first, I'll park the car and be right there."
"Okay."
Su Zhan got out of the car, ready to go in and find a seat. As soon as he entered, someone happened to be coming out, and the two unexpectedly collided directly. Su Zhan's body, having been transformed by Extremis, remained motionless after the collision, while the person who hit him stumbled back several steps.
"Are you blind?" Before Su Zhan could speak, the person had already cursed.
Su Zhan frowned slightly.
"Yellow-skinned monkey, I'm talking to you. Are you blind? Or... are you looking for death?"
"Very good!"
Su Zhan was enraged. Looking at the person, he said, "Kid, I'm very sure someone is blind, but the blind one is you!"
"It seems you really are looking for death!"
"Darling, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Skye had parked the car and walked over. Seeing Su Zhan seemingly arguing with someone, she hurried over.
Su Zhan turned and smiled. "Nothing, I haven't had a chance to let you know how powerful your boyfriend is. Now... the chance has come. Kid, there are too many people here, let's find somewhere else to talk!"
"Just what I wanted." The person sneered and walked towards the nearby alley.
"Darling, what's going on?"
Skye asked worriedly.
Su Zhan smiled and said, "Nothing, it's just that someone is looking for death, and there's nothing I can do."
Saying that, Su Zhan had already followed.
Skye frowned, fiddling with her phone as she followed.
This was a dead end.
The person stood there, looking at Su Zhan with a sneer!
"Darling, be careful, his name is John, he's a Mutant!"
Skye whispered to Su Zhan.
Su Zhan was a little surprised: "Fireman John?"
"You know my identity? Too late, today I'll let you know what happens when you offend Fireman John!" Fireman John said ferociously, and a lighter appeared in his hand.
Click, flames erupted, growing more and more intense, dancing in John's hand.
"That's interesting!"
The corner of Su Zhan's mouth curled up slightly. Because of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Skye, he hadn't deliberately sought anyone to gain Ability during this time. He didn't expect to coincidentally encounter Fireman John.
This Fireman John is considered a villain. He joined Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants and can control Fire but cannot create Fire. From an Ability perspective, he's not very strong. However, he's quite suitable for Su Zhan's development.
He can now generate high temperatures, like magma, but cannot create Fire. Originally, he planned to wait until he joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and then, with S.H.I.E.L.D., he would encounter a super-powered individual from Hong Kong who could create Fire, and because his own platelets had Fire-resistant abilities, he wasn't afraid of Fire burns at all. Su Zhan's goal was his Fire-creating Ability; as for burns, they had no effect on him.
However, if he could gain John's Fire control Ability, combined with creating Fire later, his strength would be greatly enhanced.
"Fireman John, you really are blind to dare to trouble me... This is what they call, 'There's a path to heaven but you don't take it, there's no gate to hell but you force your way in!'"
Chapter 0008: Seizing Ability
Although this was Su Zhan's first battle, he was not flustered, even though his opponent was a Mutant who already had some fame and had experienced several battles.
"Darling, stand back a bit. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Su Zhan didn't fight yet, calmly saying to Skye. Although Skye was worried, she couldn't help much, so she could only stay further away, trying not to let Su Zhan be distracted because of her.
Watching Fireman John's flames gradually strengthen, Su Zhan stretched his shoulders and wrists, then suddenly pushed off with his feet, rushing out instantly.
Fast!
So fast that Su Zhan himself was a little surprised. There were originally dozens of meters between them, but in the blink of an eye, he found himself in front of Fireman John. Fireman John also seemed to be startled by Su Zhan's super speed. He pushed his hand forward, and flames shot directly towards Su Zhan.
A wave of heat rushed towards him. Su Zhan flashed to the side, dodged, and then moved forward again. However, the flames clung to him like a shadow, relentlessly pursuing him and moving very quickly. Su Zhan used his powerful physical prowess and speed to constantly move, trying to find an opportunity to get close to Fireman John. However, Fireman John's combat experience was indeed very rich, controlling the flames so that Su Zhan had no chance to get close.
"Is that all you've got? I thought you were so impressive to dare to challenge me. Turns out you're just all talk."
"Don't worry, I promise, you'll see how powerful I am!"
Su Zhan sneered. Although he hadn't gotten close to Fireman John yet and even had to dodge the flames, he wasn't flustered, because the heat of the flames had no effect on him at all. His own high temperature was much higher than the temperature of the flames. Simply put, he could completely ignore these flames because they couldn't hurt him at all. The reason he didn't do that was because he was getting familiar.
Familiarizing himself with his body's Ability, familiarizing himself with this change, and also gaining combat experience.
After all, Ability is very important, but sometimes, Ability cannot determine everything, cannot determine victory or defeat! He found that his physical fitness was still increasing, which meant that although he had absorbed Extremis and integrated it perfectly, he had not fully developed the Ability of Extremis, and he could still improve. At least in terms of speed, Fireman John's flames couldn't catch up to him.
