Chapter 47

"Alright, I know what you're looking for." Wang Nan looked at Chen Jie and said, "The information about the Armless Group, right?"

"So you knew?" Chen Jie nodded and asked.

"Do you think my brother would keep such an important thing from me?" Wang Nan shook his head.

"Then do you know why your daughter was targeted?"

"Of course, the Armless Group has their eyes on her: her abilities."

"Frank Chen, what's your ability?" Wang Nan asked.

Chen Jie looked at Wang Nan, took off the cigarette butt with one hand, and placed it directly in the palm of his hand.

'Sizzle...'

Chen Jie's face showed a bit of pain as the cigarette butt burned the skin and flesh of his palm.

Then, the skin quickly turned outward, and in a few moments, the burned part was completely healed!

Wang Nan nodded, "My daughter's ability is to make anyone's body obey her commands within a certain range."

"A very useful ability," Chen Jie nodded and said, "What about the woman's ability just now?"

"Guess," Wang Nan asked with a smile.

"Probably the ability to teleport within a certain range, right?"

"Exactly, but it's not teleportation, it's exchange: within three meters of her, she can swap places with anything. The dummy made in her image was actually hidden in a secret compartment in the wall nearby."

Chen Jie nodded; it was also a pretty good ability.

"Alright, now that we've exchanged information, let me tell you about the Armless Group," Wang Nan nodded and said.

"The Armless Group originated from an ancient church in the West. The church's original goal was to pursue the ultimate human capabilities and also to seek so-called superpowers, which we call 'abilities.'"

"At first, the organization studied the simplest and most useful ability, which is 'telekinesis.'"

Telekinesis is the ability to move an object outside the body using only the mind. This is probably the most 'ancient' ability.

"To cultivate this ability, they pursued this power generation after generation, using all sorts of unimaginable methods... Do you know why they are called the Armless Group?" Wang Nan asked here.

"Why?" Chen Jie was curious.

"To possess this ability, they believed they had to show their determination to some supreme being that controls this power. To demonstrate this determination, they..."

At this point, Wang Nan frowned, squeezed the armrest of the sofa, and said,

"Chop off their own hands! To show that they will never use their hands!"

Chen Jie took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled forcefully, his expression unchanged.

"You don't seem surprised at all? You knew about this?" Wang Nan asked curiously, looking at Chen Jie's expression.

"No, this is the first time I've heard about the origin of the Armless Group's symbol. I've never heard this story before."

"But, you probably know that they are capable of cutting off their own arms. You just haven't seen how cruel they can be."

"Right, you came from the Siberian training camp, indeed." Wang Nan nodded in understanding.
