Anna's eyes widened, completely not expecting the other party to say such a thing so frankly.
It's okay, I have a girlfriend too?!
Listen!
Is this something a proper person would say in a normal situation?
Also...
You already have a girlfriend, why are you still flirting with me?
And you're telling me this so directly, you... what kind of person do you take me for?
"You're a real jerk!"
Anna cursed angrily, rode her bicycle into a Villa nearby, and before entering the door, she looked back at Samuel.
Samuel smiled indifferently.
Although it backfired, he wasn't worried, because Anna's ability destined her to be a perpetual single person whom no one dared to touch.
Once she recognized the reality and wanted to be like a normal woman, she could only come to him.
Except for him, almost no one could isolate her ability that absorbs life force upon contact!
Key point - it's isolation, not endurance!
Isolation means not being affected, endurance means being affected but able to withstand the effect.
The two are different!
Just like Wolverine, his Self-healing ability could temporarily withstand it, and the life force Anna absorbed even replenished him and healed his injuries!
However, this point was only specifically shown when she absorbed Wolverine, so it's still uncertain whether her wound healing was due to absorbing life force or gaining the other's ability!
After all, Anna's ability is to touch others to gain their superpowers and life force, not just simply absorbing life force!
Furthermore, this is only the initial manifestation of her ability.
As her ability develops, she can also absorb the other party's memory and personality, and later she can freely control the absorption ability, even absorbing the abilities of multiple targets simultaneously.
You think that's it?
No, no, no, Anna's talent is far more than that!
Under normal circumstances, the ability she possesses lasts sixty times the duration of the touch.
That is to say, if she touches for one second, she can maintain the other party's ability for sixty seconds, and during this period, the opponent being absorbed is in a dazed state.
But later, she was already able to absorb others' abilities, memories, and life from a long distance, no longer needing to touch enemies to absorb their abilities and memories.
Furthermore, she can possess a certain ability for a long time!
It must be said that her ability is very similar to the golden finger of many protagonists, and it has the same effect as Samuel's system!
Your ability is very strong?
Now it's mine!
First, Samuel will not miss her ability; second, if she is properly cultivated and her abilities are strengthened, Anna can definitely reach the level in the comics and become a character who can stand on her own!
Speaking of which, what limits her growth is not talent, but emotion.
Emotion is the stumbling block on her path to growth.
Setting aside Wolverine, who is both a father figure and a friend, the main issue is Iceman.
Her love triangle with Iceman and Shadowcat made her completely reject her own ability.
Let alone developing or controlling her ability, she even injected the antidote and gave up her ability!
The first page of the sword manual: Forget the one you love!
Samuel felt it was necessary to let Anna know that simple emotion is unreliable, and no matter how deep the feeling, it cannot withstand being only admired from afar!
Samuel started the car and drove into the Villa yard next to Anna's house.
Took out the key and opened the door.
Samuel walked in grandly.
About half an hour later, there was a knocking sound.
Samuel opened the door, and Anna outside looked at him somewhat absurdly and asked directly: "Why are you at Pietro's place?"
"Pietro?"
Are you talking about the previous owner?
I've already bought this house, it's my home now!"
Samuel said with a smile.
Anna didn't believe it: "Impossible, I greeted them this morning, and they didn't mention moving at all!"
Samuel smiled: "They originally weren't planning to move, but who told me I gave them too much?"
"You, how much did you give?"
Samuel held out five fingers.
Anna guessed: "Five hundred thousand?"
Samuel shook his head: "Five times!"
Anna was stunned.
This house was worth at most three or four hundred thousand, five times?
Wouldn't that be one or two million?
Oh my God, no wonder their family moved.
If it were her own family, they would also move, right?
Anna looked at Samuel incredulously: "So what you said before was actually lying to me?"
"I said so much before, which sentence are you talking about?"
Samuel said with a smile.
Anna: "You said you were a traveler, coming along the way - you, spending so much money to buy a house, you must be planning to settle here, right?"
Samuel shook his head: "Buying a house doesn't mean I have to settle down.
It's just a temporary place to stay.
Once I've stayed long enough and appreciated the scenery enough, I will naturally set off again."
"Then, what about that house? No one else would spend that much money to buy it."
Samuel shrugged: "Who said I was going to sell it? As long as the scenery I appreciate is charming enough to make me feel relaxed and happy, I'll just give her this house."
"..."
Anna felt her young heart and her values, which hadn't truly been established yet, were violently impacted.
Just a temporary place to live cost one or two million, and then... and then he was going to give it away?
Yes, You are rich, You can tell how rich You are from the sports car outside, but no matter how rich You are, You... You shouldn't be so wasteful, right?!
"Do You want to go out with me to buy some daily necessities and go for a drive?" Samuel took out his car key and smiled, inviting Anna.
Anna wanted to refuse, but for some reason, what came out was a sentence saying I have a boyfriend.
Was this... a reminder to Samuel?
Or was she reminding herself?!
Samuel turned a deaf ear, as if he hadn't heard anything, closed the door casually, and took Anna out for a drive.
The boyfriend Anna mentioned had actually just started dating for a short time, or rather... they hadn't officially confirmed their relationship yet.
It was vague, and they were still figuring things out!
The first time they had intimate contact, Anna's Mutant awakened, and then... this almost directly killed her so-called boyfriend!
If Samuel had intercepted her beforehand, he would have saved his life instead.
Actually, from Anna's perspective, her boyfriend might not have brought her a greater psychological impact than Samuel.
Rich, handsome, and willful!
Putting aside the money, just Samuel's conditions were enough to attract a young girl like Anna!
Isn't there that saying!
Xia Zhu doesn't love money, but every moment Wang Duoyu moved her required money!
Young girls might not be greedy for how much money they can get from You, but they definitely can't resist the romance that spending money brings!
Putting everything else aside, just driving in a convertible sports car is impossible without money, and naturally, You can't use this kind of experience to be romantic with a young girl and move her!
