Besides thought sensing and information download, Martian Manhunter's Mind Manipulation Ability had another characteristic: distance!
Samuel originally thought that the range of Martian Manhunter's Mind Manipulation Ability wouldn't be too far, but he was wrong, completely and utterly wrong.
Martian Manhunter was surprisingly skilled at long-distance mind reading, with a range reaching the Moon.
Now, with his Mind Manipulation Ability stacked, his Mind Control range instantly reached Planet-level!
What is the concept of Planet-level range Mind Control?
Omniscience in a thought! Life and death in a thought!
He could know the secrets of anyone on the entire Planet he wanted to know, and he could kill anyone he wanted to kill!
Even if You hid at the ends of the Earth, with one thought, You would die!
If he were completely insane, he could wipe out all life on the Planet!
Putting aside the power for now, just considering the range, Planet-level Mind Control ability can be described with four words.
Terrifying, thus!
Samuel's mind moved, and he multitasked.
He simultaneously clashed Mind Power with Martian Manhunter and rapidly searched through the vast crowd for the whereabouts of Alan Scott, Floronic Man, Jester, Obsidian, or Jade.
"Found her!"
A few minutes later, Samuel's Mind Manipulation Ability found one of the targets, Floronic Man.
Floronic Man's real name is Rosalyn Lynn Frost. Her Father was Police Chief Phil Frost of Metropolis, who was always dedicated to his duty and was later murdered by criminals while on duty.
She fainted and was hospitalized after witnessing the horrific state of her Father's body, and subsequently began exhibiting symptoms of multiple personality disorder.
Whenever she falls asleep, a personality calling herself Floronic Man will appear, starting to act as a vigilante on the streets, mainly targeting members of the Hundred Gang (the gang that killed her Father), and her methods are quite violent and cruel.
Whenever her normal personality, Rosalyn, appears, she is a gentle girl, but the "Floronic Man" personality is quite fierce and wild.
She herself has no superpowers; she received training from her Father since childhood, possessing superb combat skills and the ability to use various weapons, so Floronic Man's equipment in battle is also quite diverse; her most common weapon is a sickle.
Especially the Floronic Man personality is very wild, fighting fearlessly and having the demeanor of a berserker.
However—
Regardless of whether it's the Rosalyn personality or the Floronic Man personality, there is no Alan Scott in their memories, let alone marrying him and giving birth to Obsidian and Jade.
And the age is also wrong; the current Floronic Man is only twenty years old!
Therefore, it's hard to say about Alan Scott, but Obsidian and Jade should not appear in this World.
"Let's stop here today. I just found someone interesting, and I'm going to go take a look."
Samuel said with a smile to the Martian Manhunter, and then, his Mind Power suddenly increased!
"Bang!"
The Martian Manhunter, who had gone all out, grunted, covered his head, and stumbled back a few steps, his eyes wide with disbelief.
There were only two thoughts in his head now.
One: Samuel's Mind Power is actually so strong that it defeated me in an instant!
Two: He said he just found someone interesting? The word "just" is the key!
That means he was fighting me while using his Mind Manipulation Ability to search for someone just now?
To multitask and still be so effortless, hiss—the Martian Manhunter couldn't help but gasp.
I originally thought my Mind Manipulation Ability was invincible in the World, but I didn't expect this person to be even more formidable than me!
Whose is this—
Cough cough, in terms of Mind Manipulation Ability, I, the Martian Manhunter, am willing to call You the strongest!
The Martian Manhunter composed himself and said, "I lost."
Samuel humbly comforted him, saying, "You don't need to take it too hard. Losing to me is normal because no one has ever beaten me so far."
"There won't be in the past, there won't be now, and in the future—there will never be!"
Martian Manhunter: ...
Good heavens, I thought You were humbly comforting me, but I never expected You were actually humblebragging!
Samuel waved his hand and sent the Martian Manhunter back to his office with a portal, and then with a whoosh, he also disappeared.
...
Metropolis.
[Rose and Floronic Man] Flower Shop.
A short blonde-haired girl was amidst a sea of flowers, quietly watering them.
"Hi."
"Ah—" The sudden greeting startled the focused girl. She quickly turned around and greeted back.
"Hi, what do You need?"
After asking, she realized the customer was an Asian boy around her age.
"He's quite handsome!" she thought to herself.
Samuel smiled brightly, asking knowingly, "What should I call You?"
"You can call me Ross."
Ross smiled sweetly, immediately giving off the impression of a cute, innocent, and kind girl.
Samuel looked around the flower shop, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do You deliver here?"
Ross shook her head apologetically, "As You can see, I'm the only employee here, so—"
Samuel nodded understandingly, took out his phone, and dialed a number from Ross's memory.
Ten-odd seconds later, the call connected.
"You must be the Boss of Rose and Floronic Man, right? I like your flower shop. Two hundred thousand U.S. dollars, I'll buy it! But You only have fifteen minutes. I'll be waiting for You in the shop!"
After speaking, he hung up decisively.
"You, are You joking or playing a prank?" Ross looked at Samuel in surprise.
She didn't have the eye or experience to tell his worth from Samuel's attire, but his behavior was too childish, wasn't it?
Samuel smiled and shook his head, "If he can appear before me within fifteen minutes, I will indeed buy this place!"
"Why?"
"My meaning is—isn't your decision a bit too casual? This is two hundred thousand! Moreover, this flower shop isn't actually worth two hundred thousand."
Ross reminded him.
Samuel still shook his head, "As long as You are here, it's worth this price!"
Ross was stunned, "You, what do You mean by that?"
Samuel pointed casually, "I'm buying this place for You. In other words, this flower shop will be Yours from now on!"
"..."
Ross was completely bewildered!
From the moment he came in until he wanted to buy this place, he only said three sentences in total.
Hi!
What should I call You?
Do You deliver here?
Then, he wanted to buy it and even said he would give it to her?
This—what is this?
Three sentences, and a man spent two hundred thousand on me?
But these three sentences weren't said by me, they were said by him!
Uh, it seems I only said three sentences too?
Hi, what do You need?
You can call me Ross.
As You can see, I'm the only employee here, so—
It really was three sentences!
"You, You like me, right?"
Ross didn't know how rich people spent money, but spending two hundred thousand in just three sentences, the only reason she could think of was that he liked her!
