Chapter 240: The Power to Steal
Chapter: The Power to Steal
Adam’s gaze remained fixed on Samuel, his expression a mixture of disbelief and frustration.
He took a deep breath, his voice cutting through the tense silence. "Stop speaking in riddles. Tell me clearly—what are you hiding?"
Samuel’s smirk widened, his composure unshaken. "If you insist," he said with a mocking tone. "I have a skill I stole from an old woman. This skill allows me to observe anyone from afar, no matter where they are."
Listening to Samuel, Adam understands how he was able to watch him at every moment and how he knew about every information that Adam and his friend had.
Adam furrowed his brows, the revelation unsettling. "Even with a skill like that," he countered, "how could you randomly stumble upon me? What are the odds of that?"
Samuel leaned back, his chained hands shifting slightly as he chuckled. "You’re right; it wasn’t random. A while ago, I happened to be using the skill in a place where you were present. Your creations—those psychic spirits—were flying above you. No one else could see them, but I could. That’s how I found you."
Adam’s chest tightened with unease. He realized the mistake he had made, carelessly exposing himself and his creations in public. He clenched his fists, blaming himself for letting his guard down.
"But that still doesn’t explain Christina," Adam pressed, his voice firm. "Why can’t you release her?"
Samuel’s grin didn’t waver as he replied, "Because I can’t. Even if I wanted to, I don’t have the ability to release her."
Adam narrowed his eyes, his frustration mounting. "What do you mean? You expect me to believe you can steal powers but can’t control them? That’s ridiculous."
