Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 376

Chapter 376: You’re Better With Crowds
Two people stepped through the hole in the wall and stopped between Greg’s family and Arit. Arit groaned as she slowly sat up from the floor, and Greg released a small sigh of relief when he saw that she wasn’t dead. Any normal person would have died or at least been knocked out from that kind of explosion, so Arit being conscious was a good sign. Although Greg wondered how Arit was able to stay conscious after taking an explosion like that head-on, he didn’t have time to pay much attention to her as he felt a massive amount of pressure coming from the people who had just walked through the hole in the wall.

Greg cautiously reached out for his wife’s hand and drew her close so that he was covering her with his body. Talia and James were hidden behind him as well, and Greg tried to calm his racing heart as his senses screamed about the danger in front of him.

Two people walked through the hole in the wall. The man had bright blond hair and wide green eyes that made him seem very nonchalant and harmless, meanwhile, the woman looked like the perfect description of a goth girl. She had black hair and black eyes that were lined with black eyeliner and dark circles. There was a lollipop in her mouth that she played with constantly, and she carried a large black bag on her back. In her right hand, there was a Glock 19 handgun that she was fiddling with. She brought out the cartridge and threw it behind her while glancing around.

Greg knew once he saw them that these weren’t normal people. They seemed laid back and easygoing, but there was no doubt that these were extremely powerful superhumans! The pressure that they were releasing had to be at least S rank! It’s the same thing I felt when I was with Mark on that island! Are they as strong as Mark was back then?

“Would you look at that, Selina~? They actually gathered together just for us~ I’m touched.”

George hummed a nice tune under his breath as he put his hands in his pockets and let his eyes travel from Greg’s family over to Arit. Behind him, Selina was loading up the Glock 19. She clicked a new magazine into the gun and cocked it before using the butt of the gun to tap her temple in irritation.

“Let’s just get this over with. It’s getting late and we haven’t even made it off the island yet. They said they would dock our pay the longer we take, and I’m not going to lose money because of these idiots.”

Arit was standing to their right, and to their left, Greg and his family were standing with Talia. George did not think it would be this easy to find them. He thought they would have to go around for a few hours or maybe even sneak into the bunker before they could get them. It was only through sheer luck that George heard Arit shouting in that crowd earlier, and he told Selina that they should forget about trying to find Talia by themselves. Instead, they would allow Arit to find Talia first before they came in and grabbed both of them at the same time.

A foolproof plan.

Selina knew that George’s plan was actually brilliant and it saved them a lot of time and energy. If not for this plan, then they might’ve had to fight through a lot of superhumans to get in and out of the bunker. But Selina was never going to tell George that. His head was big enough as it was, so Selina knew that praising him would be the worst thing she could do. It would only make him more insufferable.

Selina suddenly spoke up while pointing her gun at Arit.

“Be careful of that one, she’s a superhuman as well. People don’t just walk away from my explosions if they’re normal. She even made a dent in the wall. I wonder what sort of blessing she has.”

Selina knew that her explosions would have knocked out any normal person, so the fact that Arit was still conscious was enough proof that Arit was not a normal human.

George clapped with a smile while pointing a hand toward Greg and his family.

“I’ll take care of her, Selina-chan. You’ve always been better with kids, so you take the group over there. Kill the parents, get rid of the boy, we only need the little girl.”

Selina clicked her tongue.

“You just want to fight her because she’s a cute girl, don’t you?”

“Ah~ You wound me with your accusations, Selina-chan. You know you’re the only one for me. I could never look at another beautiful, sexy woman with breasts like a goddess of lust! Holy shit, is this girl really a high schooler? Look at those breasts! Ahem – I mean, I just think you are better at handling larger groups than I am, Selina-chan~!”

Selina glared at George in anger and thought for a moment about shooting him in the head for his stupidity, but she decided that she would have enough time to beat the shit out of him later. Instead, she followed his order and changed targets as she pointed her gun at Greg. Greg was standing in front of his family with a hard look on his face. From the little that they heard, Greg could tell that they were here for Talia. Greg eyed the two superhumans warily.

Greg knew that he could try and outrun them. He was a child of Hermes, so he was faster than most superhumans, but he couldn’t abandon his family. Carrying all of them and running would slow him down and the S ranks would definitely catch up to him in no time. Maybe he should carry his wife and tell the kids to follow behind him? No, that wouldn’t work. They might be superhumans, but they aren’t physically gifted like me. Talia’s power is focused on her high mana capacity and Greg still doesn’t know how to use his mana properly.

Think. Think. Think. What can I do to get us out of this?

Selina’s monotone voice rang out before Greg could even finish thinking.

“Hand over the girl and no one gets hurt. I’m a lot saner than that maniac over there, so I’m not going to kill you just for the fun of it. But that doesn’t mean I won’t kill you. So just do as I say and we’ll be on our way.”

Greg slowly moved to cover Talia even more once he heard that and he started to look around while talking calmly.

“What do you want with her?”

“None of your business. Don’t make me fucking repeat myself.”
