She was curious about these people, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your offer is quite good,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"but it doesn’t say where.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called recruitment flyer only listed the compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Free room and board with three meals a day, and even a weekly buffet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And any Superpower User, male or female, was eligible for those benefits with no strings attached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a legitimate recruitment effort. The location is guaranteed to be the safest in the city,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"if you’re interested, just hop in the car now, and we’ll take you over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man seemed incredibly enthusiastic, yet he consistently avoided Nina’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, we can’t go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Nina had no intention of arguing with the man any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have some concerns, just tell us what they are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We even allow you to bring family.

Where else are you going to find an offer this good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were in a shelter before. The food was bad, we couldn’t sleep well, and Superpower Users didn’t get any special treatment. It’s nothing like living the good life here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two other men stood behind him, and they, along with the woman who had knocked on the car window earlier, chimed in to persuade her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the job description?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s their objective, recruiting Superpower Users at any cost?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to do a thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We even provide Crystal Cores for you to use.

We’re not going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina’s answer nearly made the man choke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So all that talking was for nothing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why did you ask so many questions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bald man next to them was clearly getting angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed a finger at Nina and spat out a few vicious curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale grew furious and almost got out of the car to fight them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I give you permission to speak?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina held Leo back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even if we’re going to fight, we have to wait for them to show their hand first.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little bitch,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"get down here if you have the guts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the bald man roared, rolling up his sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Nina simply closed the remaining crack in the window, the men were furious but powerless to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they stood off to the side and started discussing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like these guys won’t give up until they get what they want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Myra could tell Nina was deliberately provoking them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other group was doing the same; seeing that they wouldn’t get out of the car, they were now plotting something new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. That woman doesn’t have any real say,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"her only purpose was to get us out of the car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that woman had knocked on the car window, Nina had seen the bruises under her sleeve. They weren’t old injuries; they looked fresh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had even waited for another man to glare at her before speaking those words of persuasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men continued their discussion, occasionally turning to look at Nina’s car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina glanced at her \"Five Senses Enhancement\" ability; it would be another hour before she could use it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, she’d be listening in to hear what they were planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re getting in their car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they leaving?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the men get into their vehicle, Chelsea Walsh couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, however, Nina started their vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Chelsea could even realize what was happening, the vehicle across from them, which was larger than their own, came ramming toward them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on tight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Nina slammed on the gas. The driver of the other vehicle, apparently not expecting such a quick reaction, nearly crashed into a planter in the parking lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell? So if they can’t recruit people, they just kill them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a vehicle that big rammed them, their own car would definitely flip over, no matter how sturdy it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the other vehicle refused to give up. Someone even stuck a gun out of the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gunshot rang out, striking the body of Nina’s vehicle. Fortunately, the armored car was bulletproof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re aiming for the tires!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Myra Lawson quickly warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina calmly turned the steering wheel, her driving completely unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several more shots went wide, the other vehicle once again tried to ram them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, however, Nina opened her window and stopped the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Myra Lawson was about to speak, she saw several Fireballs shoot outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Using a Superpower from this far away is probably useless,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"and besides...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Myra Lawson felt relieved when Nina finally started the car again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she’d thought Nina had been scared stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, don’t worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ian Chandler, in contrast, was even calmer than Myra Lawson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their vehicle suddenly lurched backward, and the two cars scraped past each other as they sped in opposite directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man in the driver’s seat distinctly saw Nina flash him a contemptuous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a loud BOOM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area beneath the heavy truck’s wheels suddenly burst into flames!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames leaped upward, instantly engulfing several of the tires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Myra Lawson finally understood. Nina’s Fireballs hadn’t been an attack—they were a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But how did she use her Fire Element Superpower to ignite the truck from a distance?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, there was the sound of a massive crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because it was damaged and malfunctioning, the heavy truck crashed with a loud BANG into a low wall not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick, rolling smoke from the fire looked terrifying, but Nina had actually only burned the truck’s tires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Nina about to get out of the car, Leo Hale hurried to join her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wayne Warner and Myra Lawson’s group followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay on your guard, they have weapons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah! Weapons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think right now they’re more worried about saving their own asses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his words, Leo Hale still used his Gold Element Superpower to control a piece of scrap metal from the roadside, raising it as a shield in front of the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the people from the truck scrambled out in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it? Still want to pull a fast one on us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo Hale walked to the front, looking at them with an amused expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Talk.
