"My special ability is to see if someone is lying." When the scarred man scrutinized him as if trying to see right through him, Ster wiped the blood from his nose and confessed.
The surrounding noise was deafening, but Ster seemed oblivious, his eyes fixed on the scarred man.
It was as if everything around him was irrelevant; he only cared about the scarred man, his prey.
“But even so, you were still fooled by your men,” Ster continued.
These people are too good at pretending, and too good at it.
"Oh? You have eyes that can see through whether someone is lying, yet you still got fooled by their clumsy tricks?"
"In other words, the truth you see with your eyes is not necessarily the real truth; it can be deceived."
"As long as the other party firmly believes they are helping you and genuinely care about you, you can't tell whether they have good intentions or bad intentions? Is that what you mean?"
The scarred man was clever; he grasped the crux of the problem from just one sentence from Ster.
Seeing that Ster's expression darkened and he didn't refute it, the scarred man knew he had guessed correctly.
"So, your superpower is kind of useless. No wonder you have to practice martial arts. If you don't, you'll be kicked out of the Bureau of Mysteries sooner or later," the scarred man mocked.
If one can exploit the weakness of this useless superpower, one can use it to testify for oneself and escape punishment.
Especially when encountering a high-level scammer, he can easily be blinded by them.
What does it mean for the other person to firmly believe that they are being helped?
For example, in order to sell a property, a salesperson will try to introduce the advantages of the property to the customer, while avoiding talking about the disadvantages, and will not feel that they are cheating the customer.
A novice salesperson might feel guilty about cheating customers, but a seasoned and experienced salesperson won't.
They simply believe that customers need houses, that houses are a necessity for them, and that introducing houses to them is helping them.
They firmly believe that selling houses is about helping customers have a home that can shelter them from the wind and rain, and a school district property that can send their children to school.
If this child had encountered a salesperson who was just starting out, he would definitely have been able to spot the problem.
But if he encounters a seasoned salesperson, he'll definitely jump into the fire.
Unless, he doesn't rely on his eyes, but on his judgment.
Clearly, he relied on his eyesight, otherwise he wouldn't have been fooled by his subordinates.
Their scams are so simplistic that they're even being advertised on the big screens outside the airport.
But he was still fooled, entrusting his luggage to a stranger without hesitation, genuinely believing they wanted to help him.
Such a superpower, if not used properly, will definitely cause a great disaster in the future.
If the people in the Bureau of Mysteries found out that lies could fool them, he probably wouldn't stay in the Bureau for long.
Firstly, it's a useless gimmick, and secondly, it might influence other people's judgment.
Ster's expression grew increasingly grim.
The more he acted this way, the more the scarred man felt he was right.
“If someone with your kind of superpower can get into the Bureau of Mysteries, then my strength-type superpower… can also get in? Maybe I can even get a high-ranking position,” the scarred man said confidently.
“You can’t get in,” Ster sneered.
He did not deny that the scarred man was right.
If the people at the Mystic Bureau knew he could be blinded by lies, they might kick him out, because...
If he can't tell whether it's a lie or the truth, then his eyes are no different from ordinary eyes.
He enjoys the benefits and advantages brought by the Mysterious Bureau, but he cannot use his special abilities to serve the Mysterious Bureau. How could the Mysterious Bureau possibly keep him?
However, that's a story for later.
As long as he remains a member of the Bureau of Mysteries, he must do his part for the Bureau and capture this superhuman.
"Oh?" the scarred man said.
“Idiot, people with tattoos can’t be in the official ranks, so naturally… they can’t be in the Secret Service either.” Ster looked at the large blue dragon tattooed on the scarred man’s arm as if he were an idiot.
Someone like him wants to get into the Bureau of Mystery?
You're dreaming.
Although the Mysterious Bureau recruits people with superpowers, it doesn't just recruit any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
The Secret Service has no shortage of power-type superhumans.
There are at least five or six of them in the bureau who are purely strength-based.
Even if a tattooed, power-type superhuman wanted to join, the higher-ups wouldn't approve it.
Of course, if someone is of Jiang Yuan's caliber, even if she's covered in tattoos, the Mysterious Bureau would still be willing to recruit her.
Who can blame her? Her abilities are so strong, so undeniable.
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward again, his steps nimble, like a swallow.
The scarred man swung his fist and charged forward, and the two began fighting again.
but--
In terms of strength, Ster is indeed inferior to Scarface.
Therefore, after he landed a punch on the scarred man, he was subdued by him.
He was no match for the scarred man in strength or height, and was easily grabbed by him.
The scarred man grabbed him by the collar with one hand and punched him repeatedly in the stomach with the other, making Ster feel like a punching bag.
"Pfft." A mouthful of blood spurted from Ster's mouth and landed on the ground.
He only felt pain in his abdomen, which worsened with each breath.
That scarred man really went all out.
Damn it.
Outside, police cars surrounded the hotel.
After receiving a call from his officer, Wang Chang initially only intended to gather his own officers. However, upon hearing that Jiang Yuan was present and mentioning some KPIs, he immediately called the neighboring district and borrowed some officers.
As soon as they arrived, they saw a group of people escaping out of the building, some of them carrying knives.
How could ordinary people who come to eat possibly be carrying weapons?
These people are definitely the KPIs Jiang Yuan mentioned. If they can catch them, their police station can also show off their power!
Wang Chang directly ordered them to be arrested.
When the police surrounded them, they instinctively resisted and began to fight back.
"Boss, the Secret Service agents are still inside," the officer who came with Ster said hurriedly upon seeing his boss.
Ster has been inside for a long time, and there's still no news. We don't know what's going on inside.
If members of the Bureau of Mysteries die in the area under their jurisdiction, will their superiors hold them accountable?
"Master Jiang said there's no need to worry about that kid; he's tough and won't die," said the girl who had just called Wang Chang.
“Since Master Jiang says so, then Mr. Ster will definitely be alright. Let’s capture these people first.” Wang Chang originally wanted to let the people outside go and attack to help Ster, but after hearing what the girl said, he immediately became firm.
If Ster's life were in danger, he would definitely prioritize protecting Ster.
After all, the extraordinary individuals and experts of the Mysterious Bureau are their strongest support, and the loss of even one of them would be a great blow to them.
But if Ster doesn't die, he'll definitely prioritize arresting all these people outside.
He had a feeling that he would definitely uncover something big from the interrogation!
