Am I A God?

"Who is that?" Zhao Yao wasted no time at all and immediately activated time freeze. With time coming to a standstill, he turned his body around and was greeted by a familiar face.

"Sonia?"

Zhao Yao had never expected to see her here. However, her appearance managed to allay Zhao Yao's fear as he turned his body back before resuming time.

Zhao Yao felt someone tapping on his shoulder and turned his head instinctively. He even pretended that he had only just noticed her and mustered an extremely puzzled face.

Actually, Zhao Yao had already known who she was. She was none other than the most beautiful intern back in his office - Sonia. He vividly remembered how his heart would pound rapidly whenever he noticed her at work but he still could not wrap his around her sudden appearance at this place.

They were never the closest friends but Zhao Yao recalled sending her to the airport before hearing news of her resignation not long after.

Zhao Yao could not help but suspect, "Don't tell me that she has also been tricked here?"

However, there was no chance that she could possibly recognize him under his guise as a middle-aged man.

Naturally, Sonia broke the silence by saying, "Hi, are you an apostle?

This would sound like gibberish to any ordinary humans, but it made perfect sense in the world of superpowers.

"Yea?" Her words caught Zhao Yao by surprise as a rush of thoughts flooded his mind, "How did she recognize that I'm an apostle?"

Sonia seemed to be able to read his mind and immediately clarified his queries, "A bunch of apostles has been streaming into this district for the past few days. I just had a weird hunch that you were an apostle."

"Lots of people have been coming here?" Zhao Yao was stumped by her words.

"Hmph, yeah. I guess you're also here for Chuan Xiao District, right? Many apostles have been duped by them. Let me warn you, the tricksters from Chuan Xiao District are no ordinary apostles. It will mean instant death if you decide to venture in alone, without backup." Sonia then threw her hands in the air before gesturing Zhao Yao to follow her, "Come with me, I'll bring you to meet the rest of the guys."

"Huh?" Her words just further complicated the situation as Zhao Yao whispered to himself, "I guess I'm not the first victim falling into their trap. How many apostles have been scammed already?" With nothing to lose, he decided to tag along and hopefully get hold of some information.

With that in mind, he tapped on the WeChat application and typed, "I'll be slightly late, please wait for me." Immediately, he caught up to Sonia and followed closely behind her.

Tiger's forehead creased together when he opened his phone to this disappointing piece of news. He could only stay there and wait for Zhao Yao.

While following behind her, Zhao Yao could not help but compare the current Sonia to the past her. Even though she was still as beautiful as ever, her aura had changed tremendously. She was no longer the timid little mouse but resembled more like a ferocious lioness. From the looks of it, she had also become an apostle and had her fair share of adventure.

Sonia led Zhao Yao through intersecting streets which converged and diverged before stopping at one courtyard.

Sonia's knuckles rapped against the door rapidly before it swung open to reveal a cool-looking man. He noticed Zhao Yao hiding behind her and began scrutinizing him from head to toe with a cold glare.

Sonia interrupted his inspection by saying, "This is a newcomer from the train station. He is also here for Chuan Xiao District."

The man simply nodded in response before standing to a side to let them past. However, his eyes remained glued on Zhao Yao. He had a feeling something was amiss with this middle-aged man.

Suddenly, his eyes swept towards Sonia as he commented, "Priest Yang, Master Mao and the rest are all upstairs. You can go join them."

"Master and priest?" Zhao Yao started whispering to himself, "What kind of organization is this?"

Sonia continued leading Zhao Yao towards a small building standing in the middle of the courtyard. She cautioned Zhao Yao, "Never open your mouth. Just listen with your ears. Two apostles died at the hands of Chuan Xiao district two days ago. Everyone is rather edgy."

Zhao Yao nodded his hand in response. He knew that something was terribly wrong in Chuan Xiao district. This was also his first time meeting a large group of apostles in his current capacity. He had no idea how the world of superpowers looked in this foreign part of China.

They could already hear noises rambling from the building when they were approaching it. It sounded like some sort of quarrel or argument.

Following closely behind Sonia, Zhao Yao ascended a flight of stairs and saw tens of people huddled around with five or six cats.

Zhao Yao knew exactly what happened by just eavesdropping on their conversations.

The apostles and cats gathered here could be divided into two groups. The first party came here to save their relatives or friend trapped in Chuan Xiao District. These people were the majority.

The minority came here because of money.

The reason why all of them were gathered here, instead of rushing into Chuan Xiao District, was naturally because of this mission's difficulty.

Clearly, one fraud organization resided in the heart of Chuan Xiao District and they were led by an extremely powerful supercat. All these time, they had been luring victims here before robbing them of their wealth and then cheating their friends and families

Amongst the many victims was an individual whose brother was an apostle.

Apparently, this apostle was a rather well-known individual from the north. Rage fueled him as he charged into the place head-on only to be trapped inside without saving anyone.

The sudden disappearance of the apostle attracted the attention of the apostle community. Members of Chuan Xiao District also came to realize that they weren't the only special individuals in the world and began luring other apostles there.

More and more apostles were embroiled in this perplexing matter which attracted even more and more attention.

"Just look at our numbers! Do we really need to be afraid of the swindlers in that place? I say we charge now! Why should we even be afraid?"

"We need to be careful and prudent. You can never be too careful in the world of superpowers. The two apostles that went there two days ago died. Do you want the rest of us to join them in heaven?"

With so many apostles trapped inside, the rest of the apostles decided to join forces in order to take down their common enemy. However, the contrasting views made it impossible for them to settle on a single strategy.

A middle-aged man and an elderly man stood in the middle of the pack. Evidently, they were the leaders of the group.

Zhao Yao's eyebrows shot upwards when he saw them. He had never expected to meet another acquaintance here.

Zhao Yao recognized those two as the two scammers from the house of Xiaos previously. They were none other than Priest Yang and Master Mao.

Zhao Yao muttered, "How did they manage to scam all these apostles here? This is impossible. Or maybe they have found a supercat. Maybe both of them are already apostles. Just my luck to meet the both of them here."

The arguments grew louder and louder before Master Mao slammed his palm against the table which put an end to the ruckus. His eyes gravitated towards Zhao Yao before he sniggered, "Who is this new apostle here? Young friend, how about you introduce yourself to the rest of us?"

Priest Yang also bellowed in laughter as he commented, "Everyone gathered here to exact revenge on Chuan Xiao District. Let us know who we are fighting alongside."

The endless squabbles were getting on their nerves and they only did this to achieve momentary peace and quiet.

Instantaneously, tens of pairs of eyes were staring at Zhao Yao. Actually, they were looking at the illusion conjured by Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao reacted by running his fingers through his hair before uttering shyly, "Hi, I am Adrian. My special power is my extraordinary good looks. People always comment that I look like Daniel Wu."
