Chapter 85 Twin Peaks Piercing the Ears
No one could refuse Ronan's invitation.
That's how it should normally be.
"I'm sorry, I refuse." Chu Tong shook her head politely. "I'd rather finish my studies right now, and I also have my own personal matters to attend to in my spare time. I don't have time for superhero activities."
My successful admission to Yuncheng University was partly due to my own efforts, but more importantly, it was due to my brother's help and wishes.
Before completing her studies, Chu Tong did not want her studies to be disturbed by anything else.
Becoming a superhero will only waste a lot of your time on it.
Secondly, and most importantly, superheroes will inevitably have to deal with supervillains, and Chu Tong has a weakness that she must protect.
Chu Tong took a step forward, intending to leave, but Ronan did not budge, and stood in front of her with that unchanged smiling face.
"Superheroes earn high salaries, and as the team leader, I also provide subsidies for the squad."
Chu Tong frowned almost imperceptibly. The other party was talking about money right away, which meant they had investigated her beforehand.
"I'm sorry, I'm already working part-time while studying."
Compared to Chao Ying, who would endanger her family, Chu Tong would rather work as a hitman on Didi's proxy platform.
She has already made a lot of money in just the few days since she enrolled.
Becoming a superhero might double or even ten times her income, but if the price is Chu Wuji's safety, then it's out of the question.
"Your heart skipped a beat for a moment, but why did you refuse? Was it because you were worried about your family's safety?" Ronan's expression remained unchanged as he simply took a step forward.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on your brother. We really need someone as fast as you."
Chu Tong's expression suddenly changed: "What did you do to my brother?!"
She looked around and found that even Yu Yanfeng's expression hadn't changed much, as if Ronan's threat about his brother had never happened.
Some roses sprouted from the ground without Chu Tong's knowledge, their sharp thorns piercing into his personal reality. Only then did Chu Tong realize that he could not use his abilities.
"Are you really curious? It seems you'd like to join us."
Ronan pulled two terminals out of his suit and handed one to Chu Tong.
The screen above shows the video call interface, which is naturally connected to the terminal in Ronan's hand.
"Actually, I don't usually like to do these kinds of things myself, but you're different."
"To show how much I value you, I will speak with your brother personally."
Having said that, Ronan slowly lifted off the ground, opened the window, and floated out, disappearing from the spot with a sonic boom.
Chu Tong endured the pain of her self-reflection being shattered and took a step forward, only to be pressed to the spot by a slender, fair hand that seemed to grow from a rose.
The immense force caused Chu Tong to groan.
"Don't waste your time. You were already under my rose yesterday. The seeds you sprouted overnight are enough to last until Ronan returns."
Chu Tong's breathing grew heavy: "I'll join you! Bring him back!"
"If anything happens to my brother, I'll commit suicide here. Teacher Wu Peichuan won't let you get away with this!"
"You have no relation to him. Do you really think he would risk offending the Wickson Group to avenge you?"
Upon hearing this, the woman thought Chu Tong would give up, but to her surprise, Chu Tong's expression calmed down.
"You forced me to do this."
The next moment, a terrifying personal reality expanded from Chu Tong's body, instantly vaporizing all the vines.
"What!? Uh!"
The violent backlash caused the woman, who had been unable to see anyone, to groan. When she came to her senses again, Chu Tong had already disappeared from the spot.
"Ronan! Chu Tong has lost control! Her personal reality has increased in an instant!"
"Really? You certainly have potential, but I'm probably still faster."
On the other end of the terminal, Ronan still had that same smile as he walked in as the convenience store's sensor door opened.
Welcome!
Ronan looked in the direction of the sound.
Black hair, a bit long, and no signs of muscle or training on the exposed body.
He really is a talentless person.
But why is there a subtle feeling...?
Ronan paid no attention, took a few steps forward, and softly began to pronounce his verdict on the man, then listened attentively.
Ronan was always very proud of his super hearing whenever he encountered such an occasion.
The sound of a heart pounding wildly in response to one's own words is the embodiment of a person's fear.
Everyone's fears are different; for some, it's the rapid, small drumbeats, while for others it's the huge, heavy snare drum.
Who could this person be?
Ronan's smile widened slightly as he focused his attention on the sound.
Hmm~ So that's what it was...
Wait a minute? Why isn't there a heartbeat?
Ronan's smile froze, and he immediately realized where the subtle feeling from before had come from.
Not only heartbeats, internal rustling sounds, bacteria and dust mites on the face—things that should have been detected by my super hearing and super vision—but I couldn't find anything at all.
What exactly is he?!
Before Ronan could react, a slender, somewhat cold hand gently pressed against his face.
fast!
It's so fast, yet there's not a single fluctuation!
He didn't even realize what was happening.
"From what you're saying, your eyesight is excellent?"
"What if I do this?"
Only then did the man's voice clearly reach Ronan's ears.
"Aaaaaah!"
Chu Wuji withdrew his hand, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Those are really sharp eyes; they must be quite effective.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." As Chu Wuji let go, Ronan covered his eyes with both hands and smashed the shelf backward.
A sharp pain I had never felt before shot through my eyes.
Ronan struggled to open his eyes, but all he saw was a blur and crimson.
"What's wrong?" Chu Wuji took a few steps forward, grabbed the other man's collar, and lifted him up. "I still prefer your smile from just now."
"Get out of here!"
Ronan roared and punched Chu Wuji in the face, but Chu Wuji didn't even flinch, like a steel sculpture.
"How is that possible!"
Ronan's eyes, already bleeding from being pressed down by Chu Wuji, were wide open in disbelief. You should know that with Chu Wuji's super strength, even a real lump of iron would only explode.
Chu Wuji's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the fist pressed against his face, before slowly returning to Ronan's face.
"It's my turn."
Chu Wuji gently placed his hands on either side of Ronan's head, the immense force preventing Ronan from even turning his head.
His hands suddenly rose and then fell.
"Bang!"
"Pfft! Aaaaaah!!"
Two streams of blood burst from Ronan's ears, and the intense pain and disorientation left him twitching on the ground.
"I thought he was really that strong, he's so arrogant."
Chu Wuji muttered a complaint and was about to bend down to grab the other person's collar.
Unexpectedly, a layer of force slowly unfolded from Ronan's body on the ground.
Give me... computing power!
