Xiong Ge looked away, somewhat uneasy, and said he hoped Xiu wouldn't awaken Xia Tian's superpowers.

Xiu was silent for a moment after hearing Xiong Ge's words. He was actually mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that Xiong Ge's thoughts hadn't changed after the Vincent incident.

"Brother Xiong, the situation between the Iron Dimension and the Demon Realm is becoming increasingly tense. At this time, the more powerful the good side is, the better their chances of winning."

"I don't believe that someone as experienced as you wouldn't be able to see Xia Tian's extraordinary potential. He could very well be the ultimate Iron Man, a once-in-a-century talent, and the key to saving the Twelve Dimensions from their decline."

"Xia Tian's superpowers, like Xia Mei's, are just a gimmick," Xiong Ge said, his eyes darting around.

"I'm just a mother. You're telling me my seventeen-year-old son might be the key to some battle between good and evil, or some ultimate Iron Man? I...!"

The Xia Lanxingde family has always taken it upon themselves to protect the Iron Dimension. She is willing to shed blood and sacrifice herself, but the thought that such a heavy burden might fall on her youngest son who is not yet an adult makes her really sad.

She had always wanted to stay away from the conflicts of the superpowered world, which is why she chose to marry Ye Siren. The muggle life was mundane, but she was content with it. With her children around her and her beloved by her side, this was the best she could hope for the rest of her life.

Xia Xiang's arrival disrupted her peaceful life, and she sighed inwardly, perhaps she shouldn't have lived this tranquil life in the first place. But actually, it's for the best; her father won't be so tired.

However, after what Xia Xiang had gone through, she really didn't want to have anything to do with the affairs of the supernatural world anymore.

"I chose to marry a Muggle just to live an ordinary life. But because of my superpowers, Xia Xiang left me when she was just born, and then she suffered such a great calamity that she couldn't go home for several years. I don't want to experience that kind of life of constant fear again."

Xiu's face showed a slight apology; he shouldn't have been so direct.

Xiong Ge further explained, "What I mean is, don't actively try to awaken his superpowers; let it happen naturally."

She couldn't ignore the mission of Xia Lanxingde's family, so she said tactfully, "He's only seventeen. Don't put so much pressure on him, okay?"

"I'm sorry, Xiong-ge, I understand how you feel," Xiu said, frowning.

Xia Xiang and Xia Yu overheard the entire conversation between the two. Although Xia Yu didn't say anything on the surface, his eyes were filled with turbulent emotions, which made Xia Xiang feel very bitter.

She believed that her mother loved them all the same, but pressure is something everyone experiences as long as they are alive.

Vincent and Illusion Eye's affair was no accident; the Xia family was once again under surveillance. The Xia family now only has Grandpa, Mom, and her—far from enough, because their weaknesses are numerous and obvious.

My older brothers and sisters, and other members of the clan—we need to take all of these into account...

——

Xiu had only been away from the Xia family's house for a few hundred meters when he saw Xia Xiang waiting by the roadside...

"Xia Xiang? Is there something you need?" Xiu asked, puzzled. Was she waiting for him here specifically?

"I want to see those two demonized people from the mountain cabin," Xia Xiang said bluntly.

Xiu, somewhat embarrassed, explained, "I've heard a little about this matter; the interrogation is still ongoing."

"I've heard about it," Xia Xiang said, noticing his embarrassment, but she didn't say anything.

They themselves have many secrecy measures in place, let alone the Yehenara family, whose methods are likely to be even more ruthless and inhumane.

“They all have a chip implanted in their brains. If they voluntarily reveal their memories, or use their abilities or other tools to read them, the chip's owner might just take their lives,” Xiu said, frowning.

“These two are different from ordinary Yehenara family assassins. They belong to the Holy War Guard, which is the currently powerful Lanling King, but the one who is really in control is probably Yehenara Xiong Ba.”

Xia Xiang noticed Xiu looking at her with some confusion and said directly, "There's no need to delve into my source of information."

"What's strange is that even though we've captured them, the Academy of Sciences will eventually find out how to crack the code, so why not just..." Xiu asked.

Xia Xiang raised an eyebrow, clearly understanding his meaning. "This is very interesting, which is why I'm going to take a look."

So Xia Xiang went with Xiu to the prison where serious criminals with supernatural abilities were held.
