Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 342

Chapter 342: The Splendor Of City F
“What do you mean you’re trying to gain energy? How is this giving you any energy?”

Mark chuckled and told Arit that she would find out later before he squeezed her ass again. Arit blushed at his tone and she looked away shyly once she saw the devilish grin that he gave her. Mark’s hand finally went back up to her waist and he smiled as Arit hugged him sideways and put her head on his shoulder.

“Mr. Vanitas, we are twenty minutes out from the island. Please prepare for docking.”

Mark turned around when he heard a female voice and saw that it was the sailor that his godfather found for him. She had light skin and her eyes were naturally narrowed with her dark hair tied in a bun behind her head. There was this exotic beauty in her features that showed she was not a hundred percent American. Mark could only guess that she was half-American and half Asian. Mark thanked the woman and she bowed to him before turning to leave the dock.

The boat reached the dock without any incidents, but Mark could still feel that rumbling sound echoing from the ocean. Mark guessed that it was an anima making that sound, but he didn’t think it was anything to be worried about. Sea-based anima were a common occurrence ever since anima started first appearing and most of them were harmless so long as there was someone stronger than them on the beat. Once the anima senses that there is a superhuman on the vessel that it couldn’t beat, they would most likely leave the vessel alone. This is why most ships and cargo vessels employ high-ranking superhumans to follow them on the journey for very high prices.

So if the anima refused to come out of the ocean when they were in it, that meant that it was being cautious because of Mark’s presence.

There were various superhumans at the dock where the boat stopped, so Mark knew that even if the anima showed itself here, it would be easily defeated before it could cause any serious damage.

Mark took out a regular black face mask and a black baseball cap and put them on to hide his identity as they came down from the boat and prepared to enter the crowd.

“Thanks for the ride. You’ll be fine on your own, right?”

Mark turned to the sailor and spoke to her and she nodded while descending from the ramp on the side of the yacht.

“I am meeting my husband and son here for the festival, but please do not hesitate to call me once you are finished with your trip. I will be ready to go whenever you wish to leave.”

Mark gave her a polite nod before waving as he left with Arit and Talia. The roads of city F were packed with people. Hundreds of people who came here for the festival were walking down the road and talking among themselves, making the road congested and impossible for any car to pass through. Mark decided that it would be best to just walk to the next street and then take a cab from there.

The small group of three only had one large bag with them and Mark was carrying it with one hand while holding Arit’s hand with the other. Talia was still on Mark’s neck and from how she was leaning forward slightly, Mark could only guess that she was falling asleep up there.

It took about thirty minutes for them to get out of the large crowd of people and reach an intersection that wasn’t as packed as the others. Cabs were waiting for the tourists and many cab drivers were trying to get customers by calling out to people. Although, with how many people there were around, the cab drivers didn’t need to wait long before they got a new customer.

Mark hailed a cab and put the bag in the trunk before he entered the cab with Talia and Arit.

“Where to, boss?”

The driver was a middle-aged man who had a permanent smile on his face as he looked at Mark through the rearview mirror. Mark turned to Arit and Arit told the driver that they were going to the Tokyo Majin Festival Hotel. The hotel was pretty popular with the cab drivers here since it was built specifically for those who were going to be coming for the festival, so the driver immediately knew where it was.

“Of course, madam! I know that place! Just sit back and enjoy the ride! I’ll get you there in less than an hour at least!”

The driver started to move and Mark looked outside the window to stare at the sights passing by. Talia was sleeping on Arit’s lap and Arit was gently caressing Talia’s hair as she rested her head on Mark’s shoulder. Arit’s hand that was petting Talia’s head started to slow down as the cab ride became smoother and more relaxing until Mark noticed that she had also fallen asleep.

After the cab had been moving for about twenty minutes, Mark frowned as he spoke up.

“Focus on the road before I come over there and smack you.”

The driver in the front seat was suddenly shocked as he heard Mark speak up and Mark turned to glare at him. Arit and Talia were both asleep so it was just the both of them talking.

“You’ve been staring at her for quite a long time now. Is there something interesting on her chest that you’re trying to find?”

“S-Sorry, boss. My bad.”

The driver quickly apologized and started to drive to the hotel properly. The cab driver had been stealing glances at Arit’s breasts and exposed stomach since he started the ride and Mark became irritated once he noticed it. But the cab driver couldn’t really help himself. He hadn’t seen a girl so youthful-looking with those kinds of assets before and it was impossible for him to not be affected by it at all! But since Mark was terrifying, the cab driver had no choice but to obey! Even though the cab driver didn’t recognize Mark as GHOST, Mark still looked like he could break him in two with barely any effort! It was obvious that stealing glances at Arit was not worth losing his head.

As they moved through the island, Mark glanced out at all the passing scenes and he couldn’t help but be impressed. The entire island had been fashioned into an almost identical replica of a traditional Japanese festival. There were Japanese lanterns hanging from various trees, Sakura trees had been planted and Mark could even see some people walking around in traditional Japanese kimonos. All the stores around the island had their names written in Japanese with an English translation underneath. There was even a replica of the Tokyo Tower towering over the entire island.

Do they do this every year? It was impossible for the island to have done all of this in a short time, so that meant that they chose their theme early in the year and then started doing all of their preparations very early so that by the time the next year came about they would have transformed the island into something else.

Doesn’t that mean they already chose the theme for next year? That’s possible.
