Old Yuri took out a pen and paper, ready to write down information about those ordinary superpower users.

But Luo Chao stopped him and pointed to his own head, saying, "Mr. Yuri, just tell me verbally, I'm quite confident in my memory."

"You're right, the brain is indeed the safest place to store information!" Old Yuri praised Luo Chao.

Then, old Yuri told Luo Chao all he knew about superpower users from around the world.

...

Xu Qianqian realized that those two figures had been following her for a long time.

Under the dim street lamps, she could vaguely make out a sturdy Black man and a tall White man.

The two walked neither fast nor slow, but their eyes were always fixed on her.

"What should I do, what should I do." Xu Qianqian felt very frightened.

Having worked late at the newspaper and just finished her shift, the road near her home was now deserted.

Xu Qianqian involuntarily quickened her pace, and the figures behind seemed to speed up too, their urgent footsteps echoing.

Finally, Xu Qianqian began to run in fear.

The footsteps behind her grew more urgent, faster, and closer.

Familiar with the nearby terrain, Xu Qianqian suddenly ducked into an alley, hiding under a car chassis.

Panting heavily under the car, she watched as the two figures also entered the alley, four large feet searching as if looking for something.

"Fack, where did that Asian woman run off to?" Xu Qianqian heard an urgent voice, confirming they were after her.

"Keep looking; she can't have gone far, she must be hiding nearby," another shadow voiced.

Xu Qianqian nervously took out her phone—against her instincts, she didn't dial 911 but a foreign number she had never called before.

"Incoming call! Incoming call!" Luo Chao, watching late-night American TV, was interrupted by his phone.

"Who's calling me so late? Could it be Zhu Ming calling internationally from China?"

Picking up the phone, it was a foreign number, so Luo Chao pressed the answer button.

"Hello?" Luo Chao greeted the call, puzzled.

"It's me, the reporter from McDonald's." Hearing this cute, familiar voice, Luo Chao's irritable mood instantly calmed.

"I don't know why I called you, but I'm hiding under a car chassis right now. Outside, two terrifying men seem to want to catch me. What should I do? Sob sob." Xu Qianqian's voice started to carry a hint of tears.

"Don't be afraid, where are you now?" Luo Chao urgently asked.

"I, I'm at 168 Saint Paul Street… Ah—" Xu Qianqian didn't finish before letting out a scream.

Hearing the scream tightened Luo Chao's heart, thinking, please don't let anything happen!

Soon, the noise calmed, and Luo Chao heard Xu Qianqian's phone being picked up, followed by heavy breathing but no words.

Luo Chao steadied himself, showing a fierce expression but using a calm tone towards the phone, "I don't know who you are or what you want. If you're after ransom, I can tell you, I have no money."

"But I possess some special skills, means to make you fear. If you release that girl now, this ends here, I won't seek you or investigate."

"But if you don't let her go, I will find you, I will track you down! Then, I'll kill you!"

After a moment, a deep male voice replied from the other end, "Good luck," and the call was hung up.

Luo Chao stood up angrily, throwing down the phone, and punched the wall, immediately creating a large hole!

"Hehehe, your beloved was harmed, huh? Want to kill them, don't you!? Let's hunt them down then! Slaughter them all! Let me taste the fresh souls dying in fear!" Fear's Source enticed Luo Chao.

"No need for you to say! I'll tear apart anyone who dares harm my beloved! I'll make them fear, make them cry for mercy! Then feed their souls to you! Let them never reincarnate!" Luo Chao roared in anger, nearly losing his mind.

...

Meanwhile, Xu Qianqian was taken by the big Black and White men to a factory warehouse on the New York City seaside docks.

The warehouse was filled with armed gang members, with two figures seated in the center.

The one on the left, wearing a black eye-patch, was the infamous leader of New York's Black gang "African Python"—Rogers!

The one on the right, wearing a small white round cap, was the leader of another evil underground force in New York, "White Fox"—Adams.

"Little girl, where's my diamond?" One-eyed Black man Rogers asked Xu Qianqian.

"Diamond? What diamond? I don't understand what you mean." Xu Qianqian replied blankly to Rogers' question.

"Stop pretending! Tell us where you hid the diamond! Otherwise, my White friend here isn't as gentle as me!" One-eyed Black man Rogers pointed at the small White man Adams, speaking to Xu Qianqian.

"But I really don't know what you mean by diamond." Xu Qianqian was scared to her core.

Then, "White Fox" leader Adams stood up from his chair and pulled out a sharp dagger from his pocket, waving it a few times.

He then squatted in front of Xu Qianqian, who was kneeling on the ground, licked the dagger a few times, and placed it against Xu Qianqian's neck, lightly tracing her cheek, saying, "Tsk tsk tsk, such tender cheeks, I bet you don't want me to leave some cuts on them, do you?"

Now Xu Qianqian was truly scared to tears, but not knowing meant not knowing, what more could she say?

Her mind was blank, Xu Qianqian's lips trembled as she said, "I'm... I'm sorry, but I really don't know!"
