Chapter 27: Chasing

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Chasing

As Alex enters the club, the armed gang members hesitate, unable to pull the trigger. It's as if the one who's heavily armed is not them, but the young man smiling before them. They all know the terrifying power of the White-Haired Mutant, whether from the three news stories that shook the world or from the recent incident where he smashed into the club, killing a few unfortunate souls and leaving the bodies of two security guards in shattered pieces. The power of the White-Haired Mutant is undeniable.

Seeing the gang members frozen in place, Alex sighs and lowers his head slightly, his face cast in shadow, revealing only the cold smile forming at the corners of his mouth. "Looks like I'll have to find him myself."

Unable to bear the pressure any longer, one of the gang members squeezes the trigger, firing wildly at Alex. The sudden gunfire startles the others, and in their tense state, they instinctively join in, shooting at Alex.

Bullets fly towards Alex like a storm, but they stop ten centimeters away from him, unable to penetrate the invisible barrier surrounding him. Witnessing this eerie phenomenon, one gang member recognizes it as the White-Haired Mutant's signature ability.

"We can't beat him. I don't want to die!" Overcome with fear, he drops his rifle and tries to flee.

Following the first fleeing member, the others quickly do the same. Knowing from the news how terrifying the White-Haired Mutant is, they understand that in his eyes, they are no different from insects, easily crushed regardless of their numbers.

Watching the gang members scatter in all directions, Alex grins. A massive repulsive force explodes from his body, sending the floating bullets back at an even greater speed than before. The bullets, traveling faster than the speed of sound, hit the fleeing gang members with deadly accuracy. In an instant, most of them are killed, while the few remaining lie on the glowing floor, writhing in agony.

Alex, unable to stand the sound of their screams, raises a hand and softly murmurs.

"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue!"

A blue-black hole materializes, pulling in everything around it. With the technique now at Level 3, the black hole has grown several times larger, from the size of a basketball to a meter in diameter, its gravitational pull far stronger. It sucks in all the gang members, dead or incapacitated, and the screams are abruptly silenced.

"Hahaha, White-Haired Mutant, without your mutant abilities, you're just an ordinary man! Killing you will be my achievement!" shouts one of the attackers, known as Prowler. Meanwhile, another figure swings in on webs, shouting urgently, "Watch out!"

Realizing what's happening, Alex smiles mischievously, choosing not to use his repulsive force to stay airborne and instead allowing himself to fall naturally. At the same time, he notices the armored car in the distance has also stopped and seems to be turning back. 'Time for a surprise'

Spider-Woman rushes towards Alex, and just as she's about to reach him, she notices Prowler, clad in a black suit, pressing a button behind the White-Haired Mutant. The sharp electrical sound echoes again, and Alex, who had been floating like a god, suddenly stops, the black-red singularity he was about to launch disappearing, and he begins to plummet!

It's clear that the sound has done something to the White-Haired Mutant, leaving him vulnerable. Spider-Woman watches as Prowler, with his sharp claws, charges at the helpless mutant, his voice filled with cruel intent.

She accelerates, and just as Prowler is about to land a fatal blow, she kicks him aside, then cradles Alex, breathing heavily with relief. "Thank goodness, I almost didn't make it!"

Feeling the soft warmth of her embrace, Alex also sighs in relief internally, thinking, 'I almost missed out on the fun.'
