Starting as a Class Five Mutant
Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Chapter 20:

It was just one sentence, but Syd could feel that the purpose of these people's visit was not simple, and it was very likely because of him.

Otherwise, how could this person know the name Kevin?

He didn't believe in such coincidences!

At this moment, an indistinct sense of crisis enveloped him, making him feel like there were thorns on his back.

Syd didn't care if he was overthinking or if his feelings were wrong; for the moment, he ignored the woman and looked directly at the panel.

[Energy Points: 4986]

After glancing at the remaining energy points, he added them to the unlock progress without a second thought.

The panel blurred, and new data appeared.

(Unlock Progress: 79%)

"Only unlocked to 79%..." Syd murmured.

Before he could feel disappointed, a notification sounded.

[Ability: Sunlight Illumination (Unlocked)]

Even Syd couldn't help but be taken aback, feeling a mysterious warm flow coursing through his body, subtly changing something.

It was divine and enlightening; he suddenly felt like he had gained a new ability.

That feeling was special, as if he could use that extraordinary power whenever he wanted!

Syd knew, it was a power that could reduce everything to nothing!

From this moment on, he truly possessed an Omega-level ability!

Syd suddenly felt secure, his attention returning to the woman not far away.

From the start of the encounter until now, only a few seconds had passed, and Carlpana still thought it was because she had called out the name Kevin that the young man in front of her was dazed.

Carlpana smiled contentedly, heedless of others, and started introducing herself.

"Kevin, sixteen years old, possesses a mutant ability to absorb sunlight, also has the abilities of instant teleportation and releasing black energy waves..."

"Not long ago, he escaped from Experiment Base Number 23..."

As if flaunting her power, Carlpana spoke recklessly, seemingly fearless of angering the young man in front of her.

Carlpana smiled slightly, licked her lips softly, and whispered, "Am I right? This should be your information, haha..."

Carlpana smiled sweetly, her eyes twinkling as she looked at the young man in front of her.

As she wished, Syd smiled.

Anyone would feel upset being investigated like this, especially when some personal details were revealed publicly.

Kirill and the others, hearing this woman's words, couldn't help but flash looks of shock, surprisedly glancing at Syd beside them.

Or should they say, Kevin?

The three exchanged glances, seeing astonishment in each other's eyes.

Absorbing sunlight, instant teleportation, black energy waves; did Syd really possess all these abilities?

One person with three abilities?

Their eyes reflected surprise and envy.

They had never seen someone with three abilities!

At this moment, Syd spoke, "So, what are you trying to say?"

Carlpana, twirling her golden hair and smiling, evaluated, "I think you're quite capable, worthy of joining our underground organization."

Syd asked, "What if I refuse?"

"Refuse?" Carlpana was stunned, seemingly unable to believe his response.

"Having obtained your detailed information should be enough to demonstrate our organization's strength, and you still refuse?"

"Are you sure?"

Watching his expression, Carlpana's smile gradually disappeared, turning emotionless and somewhat frightening.

Before she could say anything, one of the men accompanying her had already rebuked.

"Do you know who you're talking to, to speak like that?"

The man who stepped forward was named Helo, around thirty years old, ruggedly handsome, and fierce-looking.

At this moment, his face darkened, his tiger-like eyes glaring at Syd, as if ready to tear him apart, as if Syd had said something unforgivable.

Beside him, a short and fierce-looking man sneered, "Quite bold."

Then, he shook his head, looking down on Syd with disdain.

"Refusing our organization's invitation, you really have no clue."

Saying this, he scorned, "We've seen mutants with your kind of abilities before; don't think you're so special that we must invite you."

Suddenly, he smiled.

"Your instant teleportation is only Level 2, right?"

"I've seen someone like you; his instant teleportation was Level 2."

"Your other abilities are probably also Level 2, right?"

He looked at Syd with interest, then glanced around at the other three men, proudly saying, "Including me, even the weakest among us have Level 2 abilities, and Carlpana, she possesses

Level 3 abilities!"

"Do you know what her ability is?"

"Her ability is to control liquids; if she wants, she can make your blood flow backwards in

your body and kill you instantly!"

Stephen's face showed a playful expression, keenly watching Kirill and the others, seemingly anticipating the fear in their eyes.

Helo and the other two also had a look of anticipation.

As for Carlpana, although still expressionless, her eyes twinkled with mirth, revealing her

inner turmoil.

Sure enough, the next second, Mark, Kirill, and Heidi all showed shock and fear in their eyes.

They even stepped back several steps, clearly feeling threatened.

Seeing the trio's reactions, Carlpana and the others were very satisfied.

However, the young man they were more concerned about did not show any signs of fear,

remaining as calm as ever.

This unsettled them!

"Aren't you afraid?" Helo said in astonishment, "Don't you know that just a flick of

Carlpana's finger could end your life?!"

Another man named Lap sneered, spreading his hands wide, dramatically describing, "Maybe you'll explode with a bang, and your flesh will scatter everywhere!"

"Ha ha ha..."

Syd tilted his head, "Really?"

Carlpana and the others were taken aback, their faces showing surprise, apparently not

expecting him to respond like that.

Carlpana was slightly infuriated, about to make the young man experience the sensation of

blood flowing backward.

She hadn't considered that the young man might escape or fight back at all.

Before coming here, she had prepared, bringing companions who could limit instant

teleportation and others to protect her.

She didn't believe that, with all this, the young man could still grow wings and fly away!

But before she could act, she heard the young man's voice.

"Let everything return to nothing!"

It sounded indifferent, yet seemed like a lament.

"Short-lived life..."
