Chapter 47: The Santos Twins
Millicent came forward with her hand stretched out.
"Mr. Jason. I've heard quite a lot about you from my colleagues. It's a pleasure to finally meet the man of the hour."
Jason immediately knew there was something shady about this woman.
Jason didn't know what it was about Millicent, but for some reason, he just didn't feel right when she smiled at him. It was almost plastic in a way. Like she was forcing herself to put on an act, and she had perfected the act so well that it was now impossible for anyone to notice that she was only acting. But he could tell.
Jason had always been good at reading people from their words and minute actions, and now that he was a superhuman, his ability to pick out the small actions that people made had been dialed up even higher by his enhanced senses!
The way Millicent's eyes seemed to roam his body like she was trying to appraise him and her plastic demeanor made Jason's senses go haywire. Even the Legion seemed to be weary around her for some reason, and Jason could hear his subordinates growling in a low tone at Millicent.
Jason shook Millicent's hand with as much calmness as possible and he nodded silently to her greeting.
Milicent was an emitter-type superhuman and an A-Rank as well, and while she was shaking Jason's hand, she discreetly used a little more force than normal to test just how powerful Jason was. But Jason was able to withstand her strength and apply an equal amount of pressure.
Milicent frowned internally. She knew that everyone said Jason was an A-Rank, but she just had to confirm for herself before she completely believed it. Since Milicent had been an A-Rank for far longer, she thought she would have far more strength than Jason, but from what she felt, she could tell that Jason wasn't just a low-level A-Rank. He was close to mid-level A-Rank at least!
