Chapter 471 Are You Insulting Me?
"What is it now? I gave you information about someone, but it seems that you don't even care about it. So, why are you here to disturb me? Don't tell me that it is the same topic as before." Alicia did not give Derek a chance to speak before she asked.
Derek was immediately displeased by what Alicia had said. He looked at her with a grim expression on his face as he said, "Are you sure that the information that you provided me with was right? Because no matter how much I think about it, it is completely the opposite of what you said."
Alicia blinked her eyes and she looked at Derek with confusion. She was wondering what this guy was trying to imply. It was not long ago that she had been in Azima. She had been investigating Jack for about 3 months, before finally making her move.
So, for 3 months, she knew much about Jack, and about the people that were around him. So, the information that she had provided Derek with about Celine was of course something that she had collected over the course of the period that she was investigating Jack.
How was it possible that the information that she had utilized, had suddenly turned and become the opposite of what she had claimed? Or could it be that this guy was just looking for a reason?
That had to be right. After all, she had been ignoring this guy all this while. She knew about his character, and she was not impressed with him at all. So, she did not really have the intention to have any relationship with him, whether on the personal level, or even an acquaintance.
"Why are you bluffing with me? The information that I gave you is the information that I personally looked into it. I never sent someone to investigate, rather I did the investigation myself. So, what is wrong with the information?" Alicia asked with an irritated expression on her face.
Derek on the other hand looked even more displeased when he realized that Alicia was not admitting to her fault. Although she had provided him with the false information, she just kept on insisting that the information that she had provided was correct.
"Are you kidding me? You investigated yourself? It is no wonder the information is faulty. After all, you are not good at gathering information from what I can see." Derek retorted.
"Are you insulting me right now? Are you trying to insult my intelligence?" Alicia questioned angrily. She was already angry at Derek for pestering her. And now, the guy even went ahead and claimed that she was stupid, not capable of collecting the information?
It was true that she was not specializing in that area. But still, she was a person that possessed a special ability. Using that special ability, it was definitely not a difficult problem for her to easily collect information from others. It was just that she had never been using the special ability on anyone else other than Celine.
Of course, that was just on the surface. For her to be able to easily control the special ability, she had to practice with it. So, her family had organized for a group of people that were used by her in training. But of course, all of this was kept as a secret.
"Who said anything about insulting? I'm speaking the truth here. The information that he provided me is that Celine is just an ordinary girl. But what did I found out? She is a f*cking superhuman!" For the last sentence, Derek practically roared.
The main reason was due to the frustration that he had gotten when he was beaten up by Celine. Although he was excited that his father was definitely going to agree to the relationship between the two of them, but still, it was a little embarrassing considering that he was the weaker one, and had no choice but to depend on his father if he wanted the two of them to get together.
And then again, he was obviously angry at Alicia. She had not informed by him that Celine was actually a superhuman. Had he known that, he would have definitely approached her carefully.
Just from Celine's previous action during the time that they had met, it was obvious that if the old man was not present with him, then, he would have already been crippled.
If that really happened, then, he would have no choice but to go back home so that he could get healed. In any case, he was completely helpless in front of a superhuman.
Although there was just a single level between a superhuman and a level 10 ordinary human, but that chasm was not something that could be closed in or estimated by the level difference.
Alicia on the other hand was a little surprised by Derek's outburst. This was actually the first time that he had yelled at her. But still, there was something that confused her.
"Celine is a superhuman? The last time that I met up with her, she was not even at the level of a guardian of a small stronghold. So, why don't you tell me how it is possible that she is a superhuman? Don't tell me that superhumans grow on trees, or people can just sleep and wake up tomorrow as super humans." Alicia questioned with suspicion in her eyes.
Of course, she did not ask about the possibility of Celine becoming a superhuman despite her age. After all, Jack was enough proof to her that superhumans could also be youngsters. Rather, it should be that youngsters could also become superhumans.
As for Celine becoming a superhuman, that was something that Alicia didn't believe. After all, even to be able to move a single level above the previous one, a lot of resources were required.
Other than that, there was also training. It had to be high intensity training in order to consume the resources that had been injected into the body. With these, the cells inside the body would be strengthened, increasing the strength of a person.
Until now, it had been just slightly over a month since the last time that she met with Celine. So, not to mention about Celine reaching the 10th star of the ordinary human level, there was definitely no possibility of her breaking the genetic lock in that short period of time.
Anyway, even if she had the resources, the body would definitely not be capable of handling a lot of energy without a refinement over a period of time. Metabolic reactions had to be increased, something that was done through intensive training.
"Are you still trying to lie to me even after I have already been there? I got my a*s kicked by her because I never knew that she was a superhuman. You have to know that currently, I am at the 10th level of the ordinary human level.
Do you think that just anybody is capable of beating me up? Although I agree that I am a hedonist, but still, I never mess with my training. I might actually lack real combat experience, but since that was not a life and death battle, why was I supposed to be defeated in just a single move?
Had It not been for my guardian, then, I will have already been a crippled person right now. Even my guardian had no choice but to admit that he was going to have a difficult time to handle her." Derek retorted.
The old man who was listening in from the side felt his lips twitching. When did he say that he was actually not capable of dealing with Celine? As long as he could remember, he claimed that if he made a move on Celine, then, the guardian that was protecting her was definitely going to make a move.
Although it was true that he did not know who that guardian was, and neither had he noticed any other person's presence closer to Celine, but still, he knew that a person of Celine's caliber was definitely being protected by a high level superhuman.
For a stage 3 superhuman like him, it was definitely going to be a little troublesome to detect the presence of other superhumans that were more than to stages ahead of him.
But still, the old man was quite pleased by the fact that although Derek was ranting, he did not actually reveal the fact that Celine possessed a special ability. That was something that had to be kept as a secret.
After all, until now, there were not many people that knew about Celine being a superhuman, not to mention being a person that possessed a special ability.
It was obvious that her family was keeping everything as a secret. They were not supposed to be the ones that were revealing everything.
Other than that, there was also a fact that if that information was released, then, there would be a lot of families that would try to go after Celine's background. All of them would be having a single intention, to have Celine married into their families.
At the end of the day, a superhuman at the age of 20 was definitely a gem. She definitely possessed incredible potential, and she was bound to become a very important figure in the future.
If she was a member of their family, with her rising to the skies, she would definitely pull them with them. So, it was a good thing that this guy, although he was an idiot, he had not revealed that important fact.
"You were defeated in a single move? Are you sure that there's not something wrong with your mind?" Alicia asked as she looked at Derek, suspicious that there might actually be something wrong with him.
