Chapter 157

Ma Xingbang was taken aback, clearly not expecting Fang Xiu to be so straightforward. However, he quickly snapped back and smiled, saying, "My apologies for being so forward. It's rare to meet a young talent who can foresee the future, and I can't help being curious."

He continued with a smile, "By the way, Agent Fang, I heard you became a psychic after escaping from Green Mountain Mental Hospital Specter Zone. You must be very familiar with that place. Could you please tell us about it?"

But at that moment, Fang Xiu suddenly heard the man's voice in his head, as if he was speaking directly into his thoughts.

The tone was no longer friendly but rather cold and sinister, _'Fang Xiu, I already know your secret. If you don't want it exposed...'_

"What secret of mine do you know?" Fang Xiu asked Ma Xingbang directly.

Everyone was stunned. Nobody knew Fang Xiu was talking with Ma Xingbang, so his question seemed out of the blue.

Ma Xingbang was frozen, his friendly smile stiffening on his face. "You you" he stuttered, surprised by Fang Xiu's reaction. He didn't expect Fang Xiu to ask about his secret openly without fear of exposure.ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Since Fang Xiu asked so openly, Ma Xingbang seemed to lose the leverage of threatening him with the secret. After a moment, he managed to compose himself and continued smiling, "Agent Fang, sorry, I didn't quite understand what you said."

Meanwhile, the sinister voice spoke again in Fang Xiu's mind, _'Don't push my button, kid. Believe it or not, I can expose your secret right now.'_

"Weak threats always amuse me badly," Fang Xiu responded calmly.

Ma Xingbang's smile slowly faded, and he stared intently at Fang Xiu. The others began to sense something was wrong. It was clear that Ma Xingbang had communicated with Fang Xiu secretly, even threatening him.

"Very well, it's my first time to be called 'weak' by a second-tier psychic," Ma Xingbang said, his facade finally falling away.

"That's your evidence?" Yang Ming scoffed. "Others might not make it out alive, but Fang Xiu can foresee the future. He could've seen a way out and easily escaped."

Ma Xingbang sneered again, "What if his foresight was a lie?"

His accusation came as a shock to the others.

Yang Ming burst into laughter, "Do you hear what you're saying? We've all witnessed Fang Xiu's ability to foresee the future. Without his foresight, Greenvine City would've been swallowed by Nightmare. And you question that?"

Skepticism filled the eyes of those around Ma Xingbang as they found his claim absurd. After all, Fang Xiu had proven his foresight numerous times.

Unfazed by their doubts, Ma Xingbang continued, "I'm calling his bluff because I have ironclad evidence. Fang Xiu, if I'm not mistaken, your ability is to inflict pain on others, making them feel the suffering, right?"

The room fell silent for a second.

Then, Yang Ming's laughter broke the silence. "Haha, Mr. Ma, you're truly something. Is everyone from headquarters as humorous as you? If you're trying to set Fang Xiu up, at least make it believable.

"Inflicting pain on others makes them feel suffering? What kind of nonsense ability is that? It's utterly redundant. If psychic abilities were ranked, this one would be at the bottom.

"It's amazing you came up with that. By your logic, everyone would be a psychic since anyone can inflict pain and make others suffer. Even a three-year-old biting someone can cause pain."

Fang Xiu remained silent, somehow feeling offended by the absurd accusation.
