Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 742

Chapter 742: Playing House
Just as the foreign superhumans were sizing Mark up, the members of the Alpha Squad, as well as the non-combatant superhumans that were brought from the Superhuman Alliance, were also checking out the many superhumans around the field as they recognized many of them since they were so famous.

“Hey, it’s the Undefined superhuman, Red Rider from France. I heard he can summon flames that are even stronger than what Gunter could use. He called it Hell Fire, I think! It’s freaking awesome!”

“Holy shit, look at that woman there. It’s Cheshire from China. She uses illusion to fight. They say she can make a hundred anima fight each other to the death without having to move a single finger!”

“Even Great General is here! He’s the leader of the British imperial army! I can’t believe he left his post just to come here!”

The non-combatants were all shocked to see how many popular superhumans were in the competition! They had all read the official list of competitors for this tournament and they knew that these people were going to be here. But hearing that they would be here and actually seeing them there were two completely different things. It was obvious that they would feel excited to see them in the flesh!

“Behave yourselves.”

Alec Ben suddenly turned to the small group of non-combatants who had been talking excitedly and spoke up with a frown on his face. They all snapped to attention immediately when they saw how angry he was! Alec Ben was irritated by the fact that they were behaving so childishly at such a serious event. Unlike Mark, who was not really interested in anything that was going on in the tournament, Alec Ben and the rest of the Alpha Squad actually wanted to win this tournament and they wanted to make the other countries see them as a force to be reckoned with. So to Alec Ben, this was one of the most important moments for them since their first impression was the most important one.

Mark and the rest of the American team made their way down the ramp, and the first face that he saw coming toward him was someone that he thought he would never see again in his life.

“Mark Vanitas! Once is fate, but meeting twice in this way has to be some sort of divine intervention. I was shocked when I saw your name on the list of participants. I thought you were the sort to run away from the spotlight like a little kid for the rest of your life.”

Mark’s mouth twisted into an irritated frown as he saw the German commander that had helped him fight against the Armageddon a few months ago, Ida Hoffman, walking up to him. Ida still had the same amount of undeniable confidence and pride that she had when she met Mark a few months ago, and even though she was looking up at him, Mark felt like she was trying to assert some sort of dominance over him. The look in her eye was the heated, sensual look that a woman would give to a man to tell him that she was more than capable of taking anything that he had to give her. Mark really didn’t have time for this shit.

Mark was about to walk away from her without bothering to say anything, but before he could leave, she spoke up while blocking his path and frowning.

“Come on, don’t tell me you’re so full of yourself that you wouldn’t give me a few words. Even after everything we went through together. I’m hurt, Mark Vanitas.”

Mark glared down at the shorter woman and spoke with bite.

“Fuck off, Ida.”

Mark’s words were intense, and it would’ve been enough to piss off anyone that heard them, but it only made Ida’s smile widen. Ida liked men who fought back even in the face of her intensity.

She stepped closer to Mark while ignoring the multiple eyes that were now on her and she grinned at Mark while talking in a low, suggestive tone.

“Why don’t you make me, God Killer? I’ve been hearing about your exploits recently. Apparently, you went and got yourself another woman even after I made my intentions very clear to you. That’s quite disappointing. I doubt any woman can show you a good time as well as I can. What do you say about ditching her and—”

“I’ll give you one chance to step back.”

DOON!

Suddenly, a force slammed into Ida from the side and cut off what she was about to say to Mark. Ida’s brow furrowed into a frown as she felt the intense pressure, and she turned to glare at the person who dared to interrupt her. But once Ida saw who it was, her brow rose in realization and she couldn’t stop the mocking smile that spread on her face. It was the girlfriend.

Arit’s poison yellow eyes were glaring daggers at Ida, and from the way some part of her neck was starting to turn purple, Mark could tell that the QUEEN was only a moment away from revealing herself. Arit was not happy at all!

‘KILL HER! FUCKING KILL THIS HARLOT! TEAR HER EYES OUT AND FEED IT TO HER ROTTING CORPSE!’

The Queen’s voice screamed in Arit’s head as it screamed for her to take action! Arit had gotten very good at controlling the Queen lately and she never had to do anything the QUEEN suggested unless she wanted to do it herself, but even Arit could feel an uncontrollable amount of anger threatening to pour out from her, and it was taking all of her willpower not to lash out right then!

Arit remembered Ida from the mission to defeat the Armageddon a few months ago, but back then, Ida hadn’t done anything that would make Arit lash out at her. They had been too focused on the monster for Ida to try coming onto Mark in front of Arit, but now that Ida was daring to do something like this, even though both Arit and Luna were present, Arit was not going to let it slide!

Luna had been talking to one of the Vanguard guild members who came to the tournament with them when Ida appeared, and even Luna had to stop talking to the woman and face Ida in irritation when she heard what Ida said about her. Was this bitch that eager to die?

“Would you look at this? The little child is trying to threaten me. How terrifying~”

Ida spoke up in a smooth, mocking tone that sounded like she was talking to a child. Ida turned to give Arit a mocking smile and put a hand on her chin while looking Arit from head to toe appraisingly before shaking her head like she was disappointed by what she saw.

“All you have are those breasts and hips of yours, and you’re already here parading yourself as a woman. A child like you could never match up to the experience of my years. You should go back to high school and stop playing house like a fool.”

Ida knew that Arit was a powerful superhuman as well, but Ida didn’t care. Ida had been training for years before Arit even knew what it meant to possess any form of power, and even before gaining her powers, Ida trained in the military for years to master how to fight to perfection. Ida knew that she could handle anything that Arit threw at her.
