Chapter 145

“Dai Anna told me.”

“I’ve already sold those jewels of yours. Because I didn’t know when you would come to find me, I found Dai Anna, told her I was your person, and asked for your address.”

“It’s okay that I did that, right?”

Barbara Minerva looked around the room curiously while placing the two suitcases on the coffee table in front of the sofa, then looked at Su Quan with a smile.

Many people who are dissatisfied with their lives suddenly gain powerful strength or wealth and become inflated; otherwise, there wouldn’t be terms like ‘a person who has gained success and is now arrogant’ or ‘nouveau riche.’

Clearly, Barbara Minerva was inflated, she was floating!

Su Quan came to her with interest, reached out, pinched her chin, and lifted her head: “Knowing that Dai Anna is my person, you told Dai Anna that you were also my person, and you asked for my address.”

“Tell me, what gave you the courage and confidence to do this?”

Barbara Minerva didn’t panic, and her eyes didn’t dodge. While looking directly at Su Quan, her right hand had already rested on his shoulder.

“It’s because—of power!”

Barbara Minerva smiled triumphantly and pushed her right hand hard against Su Quan’s shoulder.

“Ding!”

“Combat detected, drop reward: Super Strength (Barbara Minerva)”

The current Barbara Minerva hadn’t become Cheetah yet; she could only be considered a replica of Dai Anna.

But Dai Anna hadn’t made a wish and lost her power like in the movie, so the Yellow Crystal Wish Stone should only be able to bring her to the level of normal Dai Anna; it shouldn’t be able to let her possess divine power like Dai Anna!

“Hmm?”

Looking at Su Quan, who hadn’t moved a muscle and hadn’t flown away as she had imagined, Barbara Minerva’s triumphant expression instantly froze, and she subconsciously pushed again with force.

As a result, he still didn’t move a muscle!

“How can this be? Clearly, I just—” Barbara Minerva impatiently knocked Su Quan’s hand away, turned around, grabbed the sofa with one hand, and easily flipped it away.

“Bang!”

The sofa crashed into the wall, instantly making the living room a mess.

Barbara Minerva didn’t care at all, looking at her hands and chuckling.

Her strength was still there; she hadn’t lost her ability.

The brief panic disappeared. Barbara Minerva turned around, just about to figure out what had happened, when she felt a punch to her chest. The sharp pain made her grunt, and she couldn’t help but fly backward.

Seeing that Barbara Minerva was about to hit the wall, Su Quan suddenly reacted, chasing after her with a speed that surpassed her own, and directly grabbed her by the neck with one hand to stop her.

The sudden stop almost snapped Barbara Minerva’s neck. The tips of her beautiful high heels scraped the ground back and forth several times before they finally touched the ground, stabilizing her body.

The pain and suffocation instantly sobered up Barbara Minerva, who had thought she was powerful!

She wasn’t nearly as powerful as she had imagined!

Intense unwillingness surged in her heart. She had originally thought that she had gained power and could finally be as generous and confident as Dai Anna, never having to feel inferior again, never having to worry about being ignored again.

But why?

Why, clearly I’m already so powerful, clearly others have already started to value me and flatter me, but it’s still useless in front of Su Quan?

That’s right.

Because Su Quan is stronger than me, because I’m still not strong enough!

Su Quan waved his hand, and the overturned sofa instantly turned back and returned to its original position. He glanced at the wall where the paint had been knocked off and frowned at Barbara Minerva.

“That Yellow Crystal, when did you make a wish to it?”

“Yes, yesterday. I went to a black market wanting to sell the jewelry my friend had picked over, and then I saw a Yellow Crystal that hadn’t been handed over to the buyer yet.”

“It was written on it that you could make a wish. I—I saw you and Dai Anna leave together the day before, so I wished to be like Dai Anna, and I gained the power I have now.”

Su Quan glanced at the two suitcases on the table. Since the money from selling the jewelry had already been obtained, that meant it had already been sold to the black market, and that black market hadn’t been robbed?

“Where is that Yellow Crystal?”

“It was, it was taken by the buyer. I know him; he is that Maxwell Lord from the Black Gold Cooperative on TV. If you want it, I can help you rob it.”

Barbara Minerva saying she would rob it without hesitation was enough to prove that what she must have lost was kindness, or conscience?

This is one of the fundamental reasons why a kind, honest person turns into a villain!

“Alright.”

Su Quan smiled brilliantly and released her neck.

Barbara Minerva, regaining her freedom, rubbed her neck and gasped for air, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes…

Su Quan saw it, but didn’t care. Putting aside the fact that she had already lost her conscience and this wasn’t her true original intention, even if it were, he wouldn’t care.

Although he wouldn’t actively kill women to prove his path, if a woman really courted death by provoking him and touching his bottom line, he couldn’t be a saint and let the other party go.

Opportunities can be given; once or twice is enough. If they keep courting death endlessly, then he can only fulfill their wish.

“I, I’ll go find him right now.” Barbara Minerva, having recovered, said in a low voice, preparing to leave.

“Is all the money here? What about your commission?” Su Quan pointed at the suitcases and asked.

“It’s all here.”

“Hmm.”

Su Quan nodded and said casually: “I originally promised you a ten percent commission, but you came to my house, flipped the sofa, smashed the wall, and showed off in front of me, so this money is gone.”

“Any objections?”

Barbara Minerva gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: “No objections.”

“Fine, then come with me.”

Su Quan grabbed Barbara Minerva and disappeared with a ‘whoosh.’

The next second.

The two appeared on a spacious but desolate highway. On both sides of the highway was a desert that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Barbara Minerva was stunned for a long time and asked: “Where, where is this?”

“Cairo.”

Su Quan pointed to the highway ahead and said faintly: “Aren’t you going to rob the Yellow Crystal Wish Stone and give it to me? In about five minutes, Maxwell Lord will appear under the escort of several heavy-firepower armored vehicles.”

“If your performance satisfies me, I’ll give you the opportunity to truly be my person and possess even more powerful strength!”

“Alright!”

Barbara Minerva was now completely addicted to power. As long as she could gain power, she was willing to pay any price.

In the movie, in order to keep her power, she went from being Dai Anna’s helper and righteous little partner to directly becoming Maxwell Lord’s protector.

Even after being enhanced a second time and truly becoming Cheetah, she became even more indifferent to good and evil.

World destruction?

What does that have to do with me? I just want power!

By the way, the full-form Cheetah is indeed very powerful; Dai Anna, wearing the Golden Eagle Armor, was almost suppressed and beaten. It’s just that the plot killed her at the end—she was actually electrocuted and fainted in the water.
