In a vehicle as thick as a tank, there were only Shen Mochen and General Yan.
General Yan watched him silently, then after a long while, she patted Shen Mochen's shoulder, her tone carrying a hint of tenderness and care, "Do you know how much trouble you caused today?"
Shen Mochen lightly lowered his head, "I know, I've caused you trouble, I'm truly sorry."
"I'm a secondary concern, mainly because you've alard our president. The governor and the mayor were at the scene, and you held three of the Roman Empire's top ten marquises hostage, almost causing a serious diplomatic crisis... You know, the Superpower Users and the ordinary people have always maintained a balance, and this balance is both fragile and sensitive. What you did was very dangerous. You also know that a sniper hidden in the dark could take you out."
"Yes, so I didn't hurt anyone."
"It's lucky you didn't hurt anyone, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to protect you!" General Yan shook her head with a wry smile, "Of course, it's also because you were smart, forcing them to swear they had no grudges against you. These nobles value their reputation, and even for the sake of face, they wouldn't openly make a move against you."
Her words had a dual aning, first that Shen Mochen was temporarily safe and wouldn't face the worst-case scenario. Second, she was on Shen Mochen's side.
Shen Mochen blinked, naturally understanding.
"Thank you for your concern, General Yan, I will always rember this kindness in my heart!"
"Don't thank too soon, you are still in great danger. The Alexandrov family will absolutely not allow their only heir to marry a foreigner, they will definitely use various ans to stop you in the future. Have you thought about what you'll do?"
Shen Mochen slowly lowered his head, his eyes flickering, "There will always be a way."
General Yan stared at him intently, and after a long mont, she tilted her head with a smile, resembling a caring elder from one's family, "The affairs of you young people, we really can't intervene. I can only say that your girlfriend has a very deep background, you need to think carefully."
Shen Mochen nodded, "Hmm... I will think it through."
"Let's put that aside for now, I'm more interested in another matter," General Yan nodded, "As far as I know, your superpower is healing, yet the power you displayed today seems unrelated to healing. Can you tell why?"
"Of course, I have two superpowers. Healing is just one of them; the other is to copy others' superpowers and use them. However, this copying has its downsides—it can only release the copied superpower for a few seconds, and if I want to use it again, I need to copy it again."
General Yan paused, she had already been ntally prepared, so she wasn't surprised by Shen Mochen's "honesty," but she still felt emotional.
"So today you used General Yin's, Han Muxue's, and i Hong's superpowers?"
i Hong was the short-haired inspector who had escorted Shen Mochen earlier. Although Shen Mochen hadn't explained yet, General Yan quickly guessed.
"Yes, my way of copying is the sa as healing. It can be done through physical contact, or through kissing. The forr can exert about thirty percent of the original's power, while the latter can exert one hundred percent. Of course, I can't copy endlessly; I can currently store seven superpowers. I used up three today, so there are four left."
Without waiting for her to continue asking, Shen Mochen spilled it all out, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, telling everything the other party might want to know.
Only, he mixed so lies with the eight parts truth.
General Yan stayed silent for a mont, "When did this superpower awaken, and why didn't you report it?"
Shen Mochen's face looked pitiful as he said, "Both superpowers awakened at the sa ti, and I didn't report it because I was too scared... I thought no one had two superpowers, so I feared being captured and locked up, or being dissected for research or sothing..."
"What are you fretting about? Even though you're the first person to possess two superpowers, we won't do anything to you," General Yan said with a wry smile and shook his head. "Watch fewer movies, we're not mad scientists!"
"Yeah, I was a bit scared at first, because I didn't understand what Buque really was... But then I found it wasn't as mysterious as I thought, and maybe I shouldn't be so afraid..." Shen Mochen scratched his head.
"So that ans the super A-class one from last ti..."
"That's right, I'm the one who destroyed it, using Yin Caiyu's superpower."
"But we found traces of an explosion at the scene."
"That was when Fuzi saw destroy the monster. She was curious about my superpower and asked to replicate hers for a try. The explosion traces were from when I replicated her power."
General Yan nodded, his eyes filled with profound aning: "I see... I didn't expect you could also replicate General Yin's superpower."
Shen Mochen pursed his lips: "Does this also imply that she's not dead?"
General Yan raised an eyebrow but avoided the question.
"I have a general understanding of your situation now. Don't worry, at least Buque won't make things difficult for you, and neither will the country. The only thing you should be concerned about is Roman... that's why I've decided to push you into the spotlight ahead of schedule!" General Yan said.
"Eh?" Shen Mochen was stunned.
"I've ntioned it before, haven't I? Male superpower users have much more potential, yet most of them choose to serve individuals or families instead of the greater good, due to not only personal interests but also a lack of sense of honor. I want to turn you into a celebrity, to be the spokesman for male Buque, to boost their sense of honor."
"Yes, but I thought you said it would take a few more months..."
"Plans have changed. Sumr vacation is coming, and students, as the main star-chasing force, will have plenty of ti. Now is a good ti... Moreover, the bigger your fa, the harder it is for the dark tactics to be used against you. This is for your own good, understand?"
General Yan told Shen Mochen not to worry about Buque, that Buque had not abandoned him but was instead looking to help him.
The Alexandrov Family might be powerful in Roman, but this is still Yupi Country.
After a few more words, General Yan comforted Shen Mochen, then escorted him out of the car and left in an undisturbed manner.
"This Shen Mochen, feels like he's hiding sothing," the driver comnted.
"I've sensed it too, but this kid is slick; it's really not easy to catch him out," General Yan chuckled.
"So, will the higher-ups just let him off like this? Not to ntion the Roman Nobles, several big figures from Yupi are involved..."
"Yeah, I heard soone is quite upset... but it seems that soone else is protecting him, soone important from the Capital."
"The news just ca through, Cai Yuncui seems to know so of Shen Mochen's secrets. Should we continue probing him?"
"No need, Shen Mochen is cunning enough, and he'll also know that Cai Yuncui is a breakthrough point. He probably won't reveal all his secrets to Cai Yuncui; if we ask too much and let Shen Mochen get wind of it, it might backfire. Let's observe him for a while; he is a smart man, and smart people are not too dangerous. Besides, tell logistics to get ready, our big star is about to make an appearance."
