Matthew Atkinson
London
Seeing that Natalie Russell had softened, Matthew was overjoyed!
However, there was no expression of abnormality on his face.
He smiled calmly and said, "I'm a bit timid. Pursuing the path of the supernatural is too dangerous for me. I don't really want to go... So, I'll leave this important task to you. As long as you can help me after you become a powerhouse and make me rich, I'll be satisfied."
Hearing this, Natalie gazed deeply at Matthew.
In the end, she chose to accept it.
Because she knew that what Matthew said was right, this was her only chance!
If she missed the Flame-Flame Fruit, she would have to live her life with regret.
"Matthew, I promise you! After I kill that monster, no matter what you ask for, I will make it happen for you..."
Natalie Russell said this very seriously.
Matthew: "…"
'Are you sure about this, girl? That was a huge statement!'
At this moment, Matthew didn't want to delve into how credible Natalie's words were. He just wanted to complete the exchange as soon as possible.
So, with Natalie's consent, he immediately stuffed the crystal box in his hand into Natalie's hand and then took Natalie's box away.
The two successfully completed the transaction!
…
At this moment, everyone realized that Matthew was serious.
"No... that guy actually did it for real?"
"Just giving away the Flame-Flame Fruit like that? What the hell? How stupid is that!"
"I don't understand it, but I am deeply shocked."
"As expected, creatures like simps are incomprehensible! They're so fucking scary!"
"Haha, the TV station's cameras are filming right now! I also filmed what just happened. I'll post it online later. It will surely go viral!"
"The greatest prodigal in history, the number one idiot, has finally been born!"
"In terms of stupidity, I would call him the strongest!!"
Witnessing the two exchange supernatural items, the audience was in an uproar.
All the students couldn't believe Matthew's behavior!
The boys simply couldn't understand what Matthew was thinking.
As for the girls, there were quite a few who thought Matthew was incredibly affectionate, and wished he could be so kind to them and give them the Flame-Flame Fruit...
For a time, all the nicknames, such as prodigal son, lovesick man, big fool, king of simps...all fell on Matthew.
On the other side, teachers were also shocked!
The admissions offices of various universities that had previously gave their business cards to Matthew were now bewildered, looking at Matthew on the stage as if he were a fool.
Then, they turned their attention to Natalie Russell!
Since that silly boy really voluntarily handed over the Flame-Flame Fruit, he was no longer a talent in everyone's eyes. Natalie Russell, who held the Flame-Flame Fruit, once again became the object they needed to fight for.
…
"Student Matthew, you really..."
Even the stern-faced Vice Principal was shocked.
The reason she became stern-faced was that her husband had cheated on her and eventually divorced her, which caused her to have a bad temper. She especially disliked men.
But at this moment, she actually saw the shining point of a man in Matthew, which made her believe in love again...
It turns out that "all crows are black" does not apply to all men!
As for Matthew...
This guy was thrilled now!
Even his acting face couldn't suppress the curl of his lips.
He couldn't contain his excitement after getting his desired "super bloodline"!
The exchange between the two has been completed, and the Kryptonian Bloodline card in the crystal box now belonged entirely to Matthew.
Even if Natalie Russell wanted it back, it depended on whether Matthew was willing to give it to her.
That was to say! Matthew didn't need to pretend anymore.
However, he did not want to reveal the secret of his Kryptonian Bloodline.
This was because the more people fused the Kryptonian Bloodline Card, the more likely it was that the effect of the card in Matthew's hand would be weakened.
This was not Matthew's blind guess, but rather a fact that has been established after many years of research.
There was a news report before about a Devil Fruit user who believed this and, in order to enjoy the full effects of the Devil Fruit alone, killed all the other Devil Fruit users with the same ability...
Yes, there would be duplicate Devil Fruits and Extraordinary Bloodlines in the Holy Land.
According to research by the Academy of Abnormalities, the reason why the Holy Land was like this was actually to create the most outstanding, supernatural people.
Let many people with the same type of talents compete with each other.
This was a bit like raising a Gu, a poison insect in a jar!
As long as someone could develop a specific ability and become strong enough, the Holy Land will completely prevent that ability from appearing again.
The same type of innate abilities will no longer appear in subsequent journeys to Holy Land!
Therefore, Matthew needed to keep the secret of his Kryptonian Bloodline for the time being!!
When his strength reached a certain level, the gift of the Kryptonian Bloodline would become his unique power, and he could then openly become a "God on Earth."
As for now.
Once he exposed the secrets of the Kryptonian Bloodline and made others pay attention to this card, if a new Kryptonian Bloodline card appears before he grown up and others choose to fuse, it may affect him!
This kind of thing must never happen!
Matthew must keep the secret of the Kryptonian Bloodline!!
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he had to continue acting till then.
Matthew looked at Natalie and urged, "Miss Russell, now that the exchange is complete, stop dawdling and eat the Flame-Flame Fruit!"
The vice-principal also advised, "Yes! Since it's Matthew's kind gesture, you shouldn't let it go to waste. Besides, if the supernatural opportunity is stored for too long, its effect will weaken... You've already wasted a long time, so hurry up and eat the fruit!"
If the supernatural opportunity was stored for too long, would its effect be weakened?
Hearing this, Matthew couldn't help but be surprised!
Damn! He didn't know that!
Initially, he planned to wait for a while, and then, after stepping down, find a deserted place to merge with the bloodline card.
What now?
He couldn't afford to wait...
Regardless of whether what the vice-principal said was accurate or not, Matthew didn't dare to gamble!
Next to him, under the persuasion of the vice-principal, Natalie Russell looked at Matthew with guilt in her eyes, then opened the crystal box, took out the bright red devil fruit, and started eating.
Now that the exchange has been completed, she will certainly no longer be shy or fussy.
However, after taking just one bite, she frowned slightly.
The taste of the Devil Fruit was hard to describe!
It has been said online that devil fruits tasted worse than shit, and it seemed to be true.
Fortunately, Natalie had strong willpower. She endured the nausea and continued eating.
In fact, someone only needed to take one bite of the devil fruit, and Natalie also knew that, but she still chose to eat the whole devil fruit.
As for the reason...
Maybe she didn't want to let Matthew down!
After seeing Natalie Russell finish eating, the vice principal immediately said, "Student Natalie, how about showing everyone your flame ability?"
Natalie Russell was immersed in the state of gaining a supernatural ability at the moment, and he subconsciously took action after hearing the words.
The girl raised her delicate hand and spread her palm upwards...
Next moment!
Puff!
A ball of fire appeared in Natalie Russell's palm, stunning the entire audience!
Everyone who saw this scene showed an envious look.
Especially Amy Barker, she was jealous to the point of madness!
That was originally her supernatural ability!
Reflecting on this, Amy became angry and anxious, and couldn't help but cry again...
On the other side.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on Natalie Russell, Matthew quietly retreated to the corner, then immediately took out the Kryptonian Bloodline Card and chose to fuse with it.
