Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Let’s Agree To Disagree
“It might be temporary, but that does not make it any less dangerous. I can feel your power, Mark. I can tell that you are only a step below what I am. You are almost an undefined, but there is a wall that you are currently about to climb over, and once you do climb past that wall, you will enter the realm of the Inhumans. You will become an existence that cannot be regarded as mortal anymore. Tell me, what do you think will happen to you once that happens? You will be targeted by everyone. You will become the center of scrutiny, and every step you take, every move you make will be looked upon with fear and awe. If you think things are bad now, then you do not even want to know how feared you will be once you become an official member of the SOVEREIGN. You will be targeted by those who fear your power and those who wish to use your power for their gain, and no amount of power will be able to keep them from hurting those you love.

“And then what will happen to the Artemis guild? What will they do when they are faced with an opponent that they cannot even begin to imagine at their level? They will be decimated for no reason other than the fact that they were related to you for a few short months. It does not matter how strong you are, Mark. You of all people should know you cannot be everywhere at once. That is why you need strong people around you. That is why you should never involve yourself with those who cannot take care of themselves.”

Mark’s brow was already rising the more he listened to Luna talk, and by the time she was finished, Mark was really intrigued by what she was saying, and the look of surprise on his face was obvious. Mark knew that there were a lot of things that he did not know about in this world, but what Luna just said really resonated with him. This was the same situation that he went through with the superhuman killer and it was likely that he would go through the same thing with the syndicate very soon if care was not taken. Mark decided that he would give what she said some thought.

“I wonder if that is why you don’t take anyone lower than S rank into your guild. You only want strong people around you. That’s pretty self-preservative of you. But in a way, aren’t you just afraid of responsibility?”

Luna glared at Mark as he brought up her personal life again, and she finally sighed as she noticed that Mark was not looking away from her. Mark was also standing steadfast in his beliefs, just like her, so she couldn’t get angry at him for doing what he was doing. She might not like his way of doing things, but she could respect his resolve.

“I suppose we will have to agree to disagree.”

Luna stood up from her seat, and the door to the room opened at the exact same moment.

Ka-Cha!

“Marky~! I’m back~!”

Tina ran into the room once the door opened, and she was about to jump into Mark’s lap, but at the last moment, she changed her posture and attempted to deliver a flying drop kick that would have taken off the head of someone weaker.

Catch!

Mark caught her by the leg and twisted it backward! Tina yelled in pain as she was thrown to the ground, and Mark stepped on her spine while holding her leg upwards! In the position that she was in, Tina almost looked like she was going to get folded in half, but instead of feeling pain like a normal person, the crazy bitch moaned!

“AHH~!”

Mark clicked his tongue in irritation once he heard that, and even Luna couldn’t help but look at Tina in shock and confusion when she heard her reaction! She knew that Tina wasn’t really hurt by the position that she was in since superhumans could take a lot more punishment, but it was still weird to see someone reacting like this when they were in such a weird position. Luna turned to Mark with a small frown of confusion.

“Friend of yours?”

Mark shook his head.

“Long story. Just ignore her. She’s nothing but a pervert.”

“Ah~! Yes~! Insult me more~!”

Mark’s eyes twitched, and he pulled her leg hard while holding her down with his leg!

“Shut the fuck up, you crazy bitch! And who the hell are you calling ‘Marky’!?”

Crack! Crack! Crack!

“Ah! M-My back! It’s going to break! It’s really going to break!”

“Maybe I should break it so you stop following me around! You’re nothing but a fucking nuisance!”

“Ah~!”

At the entrance, Turner was watching the scene unfold with his hand on his face and a tired look in his eyes. Somehow, the bags under his eyes seemed larger than they were just a few minutes ago. Turner was fucking tired.

He just wanted a normal day for once in his life; he has been with Tina all his life, and there hasn’t been a single day where he didn’t have to deal with some of her bullshit! Either she was getting into a fight with people that she should not be getting into a fight with in the first place, or she was enjoying some fucked-up shit like this!

Mark finally let go of Tina and turned to her brother as she flopped on the ground like a wet rag before she curled in on herself and a large blush spread on her face as she enjoyed the aftereffects of the pain that she had just gone through.

“Are they ready?”

Turner looked up in surprise as Mark spoke to him, and he nodded to tell Mark that the assessment room was ready for him. He moved to the side, and Mark saw that Fiona was also at the door waiting for them along with one of the agents from the Superhuman Alliance. Fiona was frowning as she stared at Luna, but she ignored Luna after some time and turned back to Mark.

“Hello, Mark. I hope you didn’t miss me too much. Staying with that one must’ve been a hassle, but there’s no need to worry since the council will get her out of your hair soon.”

Mark scoffed at her obvious jabs at Luna. He still didn’t know what the hell happened between the two of them that made them hate each other so much, but Mark knew that it was too deep and dramatic for him to get involved in it. He would rather just let them handle it on their own since it seemed like too much drama.

The agent that came with Fiona spoke up as she faced Luna.

“Madam Luna, the council is willing to see you now. They are waiting for your report.”
