American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 47 Tina's Usage

An antique shop late at night.

"Da, da, da."

The ancient clock chimed with a clear, ringing sound.

Inside the shop on the second floor, Tina, with brown hair, was sitting cross-legged on the carpet.

Perhaps out of nervousness, she only lit a few candles in the room to dispel the darkness.

At the girl's feet lay rows of hundred-dollar bills. She took a deep breath of the ink-scented air, her pretty face filled with a dazed look: "This money? How should I spend it?"

Should I buy some cosmetics and eat some food that only the rich can afford, or should I move away from here and start a new life?

"Click".

A noise came from downstairs.

"Who is it?" Tina narrowed her eyes slightly and reached out to stuff the scattered US dollars on the ground into her backpack.

She quickly stood up, her clenched fists cracking.

Since discovering his immense power and ability to change other people's appearances, his courage has grown along with his strength.

Tina pushed open the door and walked out of the house, slowly heading downstairs.

She walked down the stairs, turned on the lights, and glanced at the antique shop.

Everything was as usual. The antiques that the mother treasured were quietly displayed on the shelves, and the shop door was closed with no signs of intrusion.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief and walked back into the house with light steps.

"My US dollars~" Tina's face lit up with a happy smile.

All this money is hers, and soon, she will use it to start a new life of luxury.

Tina stuffed the bag of US dollars under the bed, lay down on her small bed, and sighed softly.

So much has happened these past few days, and she's a bit tired.

Soon, Tina's eyelids grew heavy, and she drifted into a deep sleep as her consciousness became hazy.

As she began to breathe, the girl realized she had a very long dream.

She dreamed that she was on a beach.

The sea is a deep blue, a gentle breeze blows, and a rainbow hangs in the sky not far away.

She jumped into the sea wearing a swimsuit.

She was surrounded by countless fish, and everything seemed like a beautiful fairy tale.

But the next instant, the sky darkened. Lightning and gale-force winds descended from the dark clouds overhead, and an invisible force pulled her down.

Seawater filled her mouth and nose, and the cold water washed over her body.

The feeling of suffocation made Tina struggle desperately, but her body only felt heavier and heavier.

Finally, it seemed like a critical point had been reached, and the girl suddenly opened her eyes!

In the dark room, she discovered a pair of large hands tightly gripping her mouth and nose.

She heard a playful laugh: "I thought you'd never wake up."

There's a second person in my room?!

Tina tensed up and clenched her fists.

"Bang!"

He slammed his right fist into the blurry figure in the darkness.

But the next moment, as if he already knew she would do this, he easily reached out his left hand and grabbed her wrist.

The figure in the darkness shook its head:

"Behave yourself, Tina, or I can't guarantee I won't crush your jawbone with my bare hands."

As if to confirm his words, the hand covering Tina's mouth and nose tightened slightly.

A sharp pain shot through her chin, and Tina let out a terrified whimper, nodding slightly to indicate that she believed it.

"very good."

Seeing how sensible the woman was, he gently released the girl's hands.

"Cough cough, whew whew."

The suffocating feeling of despair subsided, and Tina greedily inhaled the long-awaited air.

"Smack."

The lights inside were turned on, and the brightness allowed Tina to see the uninvited guest.

With his familiar blond hair and handsome face, the young man was leaning against the table next to the lamp, with an expensive camera beside him.

He stared at me expressionlessly, his blue eyes devoid of emotion, as if he were looking at a tool.

"It's you?!"

Tina let out a scream; the person in front of her was none other than Gino Luther, the man she had impersonated that morning.

"How did you end up here?" Tina pursed her lips, staring intently at Gino.

She believed in her own strength, but the fact that her opponent had easily caught her fist suggested that Gino might also be a superhuman.

"Because my things were stolen."

Gino smiled and pointed to the backpack by the bed: "Fifty thousand dollars, you stole it all."

To be honest, he only kills one type of person: those unlucky guys who threaten his family.

However, Gino was also very unhappy about the woman impersonating him to rob a bank.

"Tell me, should I break your hand or your face?" Gino leaned down and slowly approached Tina's cheek.

"No, don't hurt me!" Tina's teeth chattered. She felt a terrifying killing intent emanating from this person, and the hairs on her body stood on end. She didn't want to die.

"Not hurt you?" Gino straightened his back, his gaze fixed on Tina. "But you stole my money and damaged my reputation."

"You will have to pay the price," Gino said calmly.

next second.

"Snapped!"

The steel bar gripped Tina's neck tightly, lifting her into the air like a kitten.

"Cough cough!" Tina felt a sharp pain in her throat, as if a dumbbell had hit her. She had difficulty breathing, and her face turned bluish-purple due to lack of oxygen.

"I'm giving you two options," Gino said, holding up one finger. "Either die here."

"Either work for me."

Without hesitation, Tina's desire to live made her speak without thinking, squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth: "I... I choose option two!"

"A wise choice."

Tina loosened her grip and fell onto the bed, staring at the sheets with a resentful look on her face. "That bastard Gino is so unpredictable, he changes his mind so quickly!"

"What do you want me to do?"

Tina is a smart woman. Since she can't resist the powerful, she might as well submit to him and save her life.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through the mind of this Lana fanatic, such as turning himself into Lana or other women for Gino's amusement.

"Take off your clothes, look at this woman, and become like her." Gino picked up the camera on the table.

...............

Ten minutes later.

"Come with me."

Gino pushed open the door with his hands behind his back, gesturing for Tina to follow.

The girl bit her lip and quietly put on her clothes to catch up with Gino.

Luther Industries, a large fertilizer group with hundreds of employees, is the town's leading enterprise.

Of course, no one in the company would be working late at night, except for the forty-year-old security guard.

"Buzz".

A silver Bugatti sports car drove into the park.

"We've arrived."

Gino opened the car door and walked towards the factory first.

"Is this Luther Industries?" Tina asked, puzzled as to why Gino had brought her here.

But she dared not ask and could only follow Gino into the quiet factory.

The two entered the elevator, and Tina saw Gino pull a silver card out of his pocket and stick it on the elevator's card reader.

"drop."

The system verification was successful, and Gino extended his finger to press the button for the basement level of the elevator.

The boy turned his head and gave Tina a mysterious smile: "Next, you will see the truth about the town."
