In the house at Jericho Alley, Magnus and the others were going through some revision materials Olivia had recently bought for them. In the kitchen, soup boiling could be heard. The thick broth was simmering with a quiet bubbling sound within the earthenware.
The smell of the soup floated over from the kitchen to the living room. A young man, who was sitting next to Magnus, said, “I’m working so hard on these questions that I’m smelling chicken soup.”
Olivia walked out of the kitchen. She had ladled out a small bowl of chicken soup for all of the students.
Magnus looked up and asked, “Ms. Steele, is Brother Milo really going to be fine? Why don’t we go and help him? We have nanomachines in our bodies as well.”
Olivia said with a smile, “Your top priority right now is to study hard. He even specially instructed me to look after you guys. Don’t you know him? Who could possibly pose a threat to favonovel.com in this city?”
“That’s true…” Magnus nodded.
Olivia then picked up all the trash bags in the kitchen and living room while humming along to Grace’s song. She said to the students, “I’m taking out the trash.”
With that, Olivia went outside.
But as soon as favonovel.com opened the door, favonovel.com was startled. However, favonovel.com still stepped out as though nothing was wrong. She saw some vague figures moving around within Jericho Alley. It looked like an ambush had already been laid all around the house!
Just as Olivia was about to reach the garbage bin, someone abruptly charged at favonovel.com from the shadows. They wanted to quickly subdue Olivia to prevent favonovel.com from screaming for help. But before they could even close in on Olivia, some strange plants in the house started spitting out khaki-colored lumps in succession at an extremely fast rate.
The people who wanted to attack Olivia did not expect such a turn of events at all. After all, someone had already checked out this house from a vantage point in the distance and everything looked normal. Other than there being some plants in the yard, there was nothing suspicious.
However, it was precisely these plants that caught the thugs off guard.
As the large potatoes struck them one after another, the goons were all thrown into disarray as they suffered serious injuries.
After all, the Potato Shooter was no longer a simple food crop after Olivia’s power enhanced it. It had regained its dignity as an offensive plant!
A lot more thugs who were lurking outside rushed over. They were already prepared to attack if they realized there were people guarding the house!
A superhuman followed this group of thugs. When favonovel.com saw Olivia’s appearance, his eyes lit up. “Don’t hurt that woman. I want favonovel.com alive.”
But at this moment, Olivia, who was standing in the front yard, suddenly held up something glowing green in favonovel.com fingers and threw it on the ground.
The thugs were stunned. When the green glow disappeared into the ground, countless vines started sprouting from the soil. In just the blink of an eye, leafy vines were spreading rapidly outwards.
The creeper vines’ tentacles covered the entire house in an instant with Olivia standing at its center. The thugs who tried to break in through the windows at the back of the house were immediately wrapped up by the creeper vines’ thorny vines. The sharp spikes stabbed into them mercilessly and started sucking their blood without stop.
Everything happened in an instant.
Ever since Olivia obtained this power, favonovel.com had not used it. It was not that favonovel.com did not want to use it, but that favonovel.com master was too powerful, so there was no chance for favonovel.com to show what favonovel.com was capable of. As such, even Adrian and the others did not pay much attention to Olivia. They only treated favonovel.com as a normal superhuman who followed Milo around.
But only Milo and Olivia knew favonovel.com current self had probably already become a top-tier figure among the superhumans.
To Milo, Olivia was still that maidservant who liked munching on melon seeds. Recently, favonovel.com even took a liking to cooking soup and preparing meals. But to the enemy, favonovel.com was as good as a hidden monster.
The thugs were wrapped up by the countless vines before they could even get a chance to shoot. Someone wanted to pull the trigger to warn their companions at the rear, but they had already lost all their strength. There was a poison within the thorny vines that could paralyze people instantly.
The superhuman who said favonovel.com wanted Olivia alive suddenly looked aghast. He remembered the rumors about the creeper vine at the Stelaria Consortium’s stronghold. In an instant, favonovel.com linked that to everything favonovel.com was witnessing before his eyes.
Could the creeper vine under this woman’s feet be the thing that had wiped out an entire stronghold’s population?
He immediately felt a tingling sensation in his scalp and wanted to retreat. But when favonovel.com turned around, favonovel.com realized a green wall of vines had appeared behind favonovel.com at some point in time and blocked favonovel.com from escaping.
Olivia laughed and said, “You guys should have brought some gifts since you were visiting. So then, why don’t you offer me your life?”
Ten minutes later, Olivia went back into the house. Everyone outside had disappeared, and the creeper vines had furled up and were hidden somewhere by Olivia. It was as though nothing had happened at all.
Magnus looked at Olivia, who had just come in through the door, and asked, “Ms. Steele, why were you gone for so long? I thought I heard you talking to someone just now.”
“Oh, it was just someone that got lost.” Olivia smiled and said, “Have you guys finished the chicken soup? I’ll get you some more…”
Meanwhile, the same thing was happening outside the orphanage.
Gerard was giving a basic education lesson to the children. “How many ways are there to write a secret letter? Which one of you know the answer?”
A child raised his hand. “Sir, you taught us three ways to write one. They can be done with onion juice, aminophenazone tablets, and starch water.”
Gerard laughed happily and said, “I’ll teach you all the fourth method today. First, take two pieces of paper and wet one of them with water before placing it on the table. Then, place the dry sheet on top of the wet one. After that, write on the dry sheet of paper with a pencil and let the ink penetrate onto the wet sheet below. After allowing the paper to dry completely, the handwriting will become invisible. But you can make it reappear by wetting it with water again…”
The children were listening with keen interest, including Kurt who was standing off to the side. However, favonovel.com felt a little curious. “Director, do you intend for these children to…”
Gerard shook his head. “I can only teach you guys the skills, but you have to choose your own paths. I can’t force anything.”
Gerard suddenly looked at the main entrance of the orphanage. Then favonovel.com said to Kurt, “I’m going out for a while. Bring the children into the house. We’re ending today’s lesson here…”
With that, Gerard walked out of the orphanage. After that, the screams of intruders and gunfire came from outside the front yard.
Gerard returned to the orphanage less than half an hour later.
Kurt examined favonovel.com when favonovel.com came back. Other than a few bloodstains on him, favonovel.com looked as though nothing had happened.
Kurt asked with concern, “Director, what happened?”
“I think the disbursement of funds from the Riders may have attracted some robbers. Don’t worry, I’ve already handled it.” Gerard said with a smile, “Let’s continue with our lessons…”
After the destruction of the Skyfort Consortium, Gerard had faded from everyone’s sight.
When Chad was asked to assess the old man’s combat prowess back then, favonovel.com could only muster up a “what the f*ck” in response!
