Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 670

Chapter 670: The Memorial Service
“But I was only able to stay in the bird’s mind for three minutes.”

Mark frowned as this thought crossed his mind! After all the training and meditating for the past few hours, Mark wasn’t able to stay in the mind of any one bird for more than three minutes before he was forcefully thrown out. And not only could he not stay in the bird’s mind for more than three minutes, but the moment he tried to leave the bird’s mind and go into the mind of another bird, he wouldn’t even be able to stay there for thirty seconds before he felt that splitting headache trying to crack his head open!

Mark sighed in irritation as he slowly shook Raven awake! Raven mumbled something incoherent, and Mark scoffed in amusement as he saw a line of drool falling from the side of her mouth. Her eyes slowly blinked open, and she furrowed her brow in confusion, and it didn’t take her long to realize where she was!

Raven shot up from the ground like a rocket as she stumbled back in embarrassment, and Mark laughed as he also slowly stood up and stretched to relax his muscles. Mark put his hands on his waist and grinned at Raven.

“Hope you enjoyed yourself.”

Raven’s blush deepened even more, and her eyes trailed from Mark to the stain on his shoulder that showed that she had been drooling! Her face was burning so much that she felt like she was about to faint, and she covered it up with her hands and spoke up in a voice that showed just how embarrassed she was.

“I’m really sorry. I’ll wash it for you.”

Mark just laughed again and told her that it was fine, but Raven insisted that it wasn’t fine!

“I just wanted to meditate as well. I didn’t think I’d fall asleep like that!”

Mark just shrugged and told Raven that it was fine once more. It was an innocent mistake, and there was no need for her to be so worked up over it! Raven just shook her head as she knew that Mark wouldn’t understand!

If any of Mark’s girlfriends saw that stain, they might get the wrong idea about what Mark and Raven had been doing in the gym. Both of Mark’s girlfriends were terrifying enough for Raven to fear them, and she didn’t want a situation where they would think that Raven was coming onto Mark because of this. Arit was already scary enough with her powers that seemed like she was an anima, but Luna was one of the most powerful women in the world. Raven didn’t want to know what would happen to her if they thought she was making a move on Mark.

Raven insisted that she would take care of the shirt, and Mark eventually gave in and just took off the shirt right here and handed it to her! A new wave of redness spread on Raven’s cheeks as she saw Mark’s shirtless chest, but she easily got rid of it since she was used to seeing shirtless men in the gym all the time.

Mark put on another shirt and started to pack up and he asked Raven if she was going to come for the memorial dinner happening the next day.

The city was having a memorial dinner and charity event to both remember those who were lost in the Armageddon attack as well as to support those who lost their means of livelihood or their homes! This was open to every superhuman in the country, so it was going to be possible for Raven to come as well!

But Raven just shook her head! Raven didn’t have any interest in the superhuman world, and she wasn’t even fit for events like that! And when the entire crisis with the Armageddon’s attack had been going down, Raven had just stayed in her own bunker and watched it through the news without bothering to go out and help! She didn’t feel like she deserved to be there at all!

“I won’t be going for it. It’s not really the sort of place I feel comfortable at. But since you’re going, get me something nice next time you’re coming around. Maybe one of those fancy crab dishes they always serve there.”

Mark just laughed and waved back to Raven as he left the gym. Raven’s face slowly fell as she was left alone once again, and she sighed and shook her head.

“So he has two girlfriends now, eh? That playboy. I guess I never really stood a chance.”

Raven was surprised when she heard that Mark had gotten himself an older woman as a girlfriend, and a small part of Raven that she had been ignoring all this while wondered why Mark hadn’t chosen her instead. It was a silly thought, and once Raven had it, she dismissed it as nonsense! But Raven still couldn’t help but wonder—Mark and her had spent a lot of time together in this gym! They’d fought against each other, supported each other, and seen each other in various states of undress, and Mark never even made a single advance toward her! If Mark liked older women, then shouldn’t he have tried coming onto her at least once?

A sad look filtered across Raven’s face before she quickly got rid of it! Raven wasn’t the type to dwell on such nonsense, so she wasn’t going to allow this to affect her at all. And besides, after Raven found out who it was that Mark had gotten as a girlfriend, Raven didn’t even have any points to use as an argument anymore! Raven didn’t see any scenario where any man would choose another woman over Luna of the Moonlight Guild! Raven looked down at Mark’s shirt in her hands and her brow rose before she hummed.

She looked around the gym pointlessly to make sure that there was no one there to see her before she brought it up to her nose and took in a deep breath.

Raven sighed.

“That’s nice.”

[America. The Day of The Memorial Service and Charity Event.]

[The memorial service for the deceased superhumans as well as the ceremony to celebrate those who risked their lives and safety to ensure that the citizens of America were able to see the next day is scheduled to be held tonight. All superhumans that were present and active during the Armageddon attack have stated that they will be present during the memorial service, and the government has declared that all proceeds and donations from this service will be used to support and promote the lives of those who have suffered great losses during this crisis. This is May Baker reporting live from the Lincoln Center in Alpha City, one of the only remaining monuments that went untouched by the anima attacks that rampaged the country.]

The entire country was tuned in as they listened to the beautiful reporter reporting live from the Lincoln Center. Many of the people who had tuned in were watching the program because it was the most interesting thing happening in the country at that time, but for most of them, they weren’t interested in anything that would happen in the memorial. Instead, they were more interested in catching a glimpse of the one man who had made the difference in the war.
