Old Xu burst into laughter for a while before forcing himself to suppress it and patiently explaining to Chen Xiao, "Actually, Phoenix is right. These four are indeed very famous in the superpower world, but they can't be called experts at all. Hey, these four have a resounding title in the superpower world: the Four Great Useless Superpowers of the World."
The Four...useless?!
Chen Xiao's eyes widened.
"What I mean is that these four people are indeed genuine superhumans, but unfortunately, the superhuman abilities they possess are like useless trash, completely devoid of any practical value."
As Old Xu spoke, he counted on his fingers and whispered, "That tall guy is their leader, named Bearing. His special ability is to instantly expand his body tenfold. Unfortunately, this ability would be quite good if it were normal; if he could turn himself into a giant, it would be somewhat useful in battle. But his ability is incomplete. The so-called tenfold expansion only causes a certain part of his body to expand instantly, not his entire body."
Chen Xiao thought about it and couldn't help but laugh: "But this is not bad either. If you can make your fist ten times bigger, it will hurt a lot when you hit someone."
Old Xu suppressed a laugh as he explained, "The problem is that this bearing's special ability has a fatal weakness: he can't control which part of his body he expands when he unleashes his power. In other words, when he unleashes it, it's purely a matter of luck. It's all about chance."
Recalling the awkward moment when the bearing had failed—he had intended to inflate his fist tenfold but ended up with his nose changing—Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh.
"The most pitiful thing is that his ability has two weaknesses: First, when it expands, it must be ten times its original size. It can only be ten times; a little more or less is absolutely unacceptable. Second, after each expansion, it takes several days to recover." As he spoke, Old Xu suddenly revealed a malicious smile that belittled his age, and lowered his voice, saying, "Imagine, what if he accidentally expanded his third leg ten times its original size? Wouldn't that be terrible? He'd probably be unable to move around for several days, and even being with his woman would be... extremely difficult."
Chen Xiao couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Then let's talk about the second one of the four. That fat guy is called Morning Star. He's quite kind-hearted. But his superpower is even more useless. His superpower is invisibility."
Invisibility? Although invisibility is considered a useless ability in the world of superpowers (since the widespread use of detectors, invisibility can escape the naked eye but not the detector), it cannot be said to be completely useless.
Seeing Chen Xiao's confusion, Old Xu chuckled, "The sad thing is, his invisibility ability is far inferior to ordinary invisibility. His physique is special; whether he can become invisible or not is affected by the surrounding environment. Simply put, his invisibility ability only works in absolute darkness, where others cannot see him!"
Invisibility in the dark? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort? Even a normal person wouldn't be able to see you in complete darkness...
"Then... what if there's light?" Chen Xiao asked.
“Even if there is only a tiny bit of light around him, he absolutely cannot become invisible,” Old Xu replied leisurely.
Chen Xiao: "…………"
These four good-for-nothings are indeed... very good-for-nothings!
Old Xu began to speak slowly and deliberately, having only mentioned two points before moving on to the third—Chen Xiao's heart stirred. It seemed that Old Xu knew a great deal about the people around Phoenix! So, was Old Xu also very familiar with Phoenix?
This old man Xu, whose apparent identity is just a wealthy man, what role does he play in the world of superpowers?
Just as he was thinking this, Old Man Xu stopped talking. Then he heard one of his assistants walk over quickly and whisper to Old Man Xu, "Mr. Xu, Miss Chen from the Chen family in Canada has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Old Xu's expression immediately changed, and his eyes lit up. He glanced around and muttered to himself, "Luckily... the eldest child left first, otherwise it would have been troublesome again. Sigh..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao's heart stirred, and he asked in a low voice, "Uncle Xu, what about Brother Xu?"
"Hmph! Haven't you always been curious why my eldest son gave up being the heir to the Xu family to go and join the underworld? Hmph! It's all because of a little girl a few years ago!! In the end, the eldest son became infatuated with that little girl and was bewitched by her to go and join the underworld... Sigh, never mind, here he comes!"
Soon, Chen Xiao looked up and saw two people!
One man and one woman.
A girl who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old walked in front. Her face was delicate and pretty. Although she wasn't exactly a stunning beauty, her eyes were exceptionally bright and intelligent, giving her a clever and lively look that enhanced her appearance. Her once slightly immature face now seemed more intelligent.
Yet, this girl, who was her age, was wearing a rather old-fashioned women's suit skirt—in Chen Xiao's mind, only white-collar women over thirty would wear such an outfit.
This young woman, in the prime of her life, walked slowly by in such old-fashioned clothes, yet it didn't seem out of place at all; instead, it had a certain charm.
Besides the young girl, what immediately caught Chen Xiao's attention was the man following behind her!
This is a Black man!
What impressed Chen Xiao the most was the black man's eyes! His eyes were almost entirely gray, with no emotion whatsoever in his pupils, like a calm and deep lake, as if he didn't care about anything around him, but he had everything under control!
He was strikingly handsome, a rare find among Black men. Judging from his appearance, he was no more than twenty or thirty years old. His clothing suggested he was a bodyguard, but his physique was unlike that of a typical bodyguard—he was tall and well-proportioned. He followed behind the girl, his expression calm and unfathomable. Yet, step by step, he seemed to follow her like a shadow, his steps subtly synchronized with some eerie rhythm!
It gave Chen Xiao a certain feeling. You could clearly see him, but upon closer inspection, he seemed like a shadow, impossible to grasp or touch!
More importantly, although he walked along with a cold expression, Chen Xiao couldn't help but have a strange feeling as she looked at him:
The surroundings were brightly lit, bustling with activity and revelry, but as this black man slowly walked towards them, passing by the dancers and singers, he seemed like a cheetah roaming through a wild jungle!
Chen Xiao's gaze caught the attention of the black man, who seemed to glance at Chen Xiao almost imperceptibly—what kind of look was that!
Chen Xiao's first feeling was: indifference!
Absolute indifference!
This indifference, however, wasn't due to underestimating his opponent or disdain. Rather, it was as if, in this black man's eyes, there was nothing or no one in the world that could pique his interest! Everything and everything was utterly disregardable!
The black man glanced at Chen Xiao only once before looking away, seemingly ignoring her completely, and continued to quietly follow behind the girl.
The young girl walked up to Old Man Xu and smiled sweetly: "Old Master Xu, I wish you boundless happiness and longevity!"
Old Xu smiled and said, "Miss Chen, thank you so much! I never expected that my old age would trouble you to come all the way from Canada. I really don't deserve it."
Miss Chen smiled, her eyes sparkling with intelligence, and gently pursed her lips, saying, "Grandpa, you're too kind. Just call me Little Five. Calling me 'Miss' doesn't sound like an elder." Little Five?
Chen Xiao found it slightly amusing; the name was indeed somewhat similar to his nickname.
Miss Chen then looked at Chen Xiao and said slowly, "Oh? This must be your son. He is indeed a handsome young man."
She was about the same age as Chen Xiao, but she spoke in such an old-fashioned tone, which made Chen Xiao smile.
"Oh, no." Old Xu smiled casually. "This is not my son, but one of my juniors. Come, Chen Xiao, let me introduce you. This is Miss Chen, who is very famous in Canada and North America! In the past two years, her name has become a household name in Canada! It's quite a coincidence, her nickname is Xiao Xiao Wu, which seems to be quite a connection with you."
Old Xu smiled at Miss Chen: "My nephew also has the surname Chen, and he's been called Xiao Wu since he was little. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Miss Chen's eyes lit up immediately. She stared at Chen Xiao with great interest for a while, then exclaimed, "Huh? You're also called Chen Xiaowu? Ah ha! What a coincidence!"
