“Damn it, what the hell is this?!”
Jones really wanted to scream out in pain.
At least that would let him vent some of the emotions bottled up inside him.
But the pain coming from his eyes was so intense that he couldn’t even make a sound.
Even moving a little had become a luxury.
Yet there wasn’t the slightest hint of complaint in Jones’s heart.
Instead, he was filled with excitement!
After reading so many novels in his previous life, Jones didn’t believe that simply touching his eyes with his hand could cause this kind of pain.
There was no doubt about it.
This inexplicable pain in his eyes was definitely the sign of his special ability!
“Is it an ability related to my eyes?
The Rinnegan?
The Tenseigan?
Or the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?
If nothing else, even the Byakugan would do…
Though that one doesn’t seem particularly powerful.”
Jones’s nerves were remarkably thick.
Even though the pain was so intense that he couldn’t speak, he could still let his imagination run wild in his head.
He was even starting to look forward to the wonderful life he would have in the future!
Just then, Jones suddenly heard a series of hurried, chaotic footsteps approaching.
The voices of the terrorists soon reached his ears as well.
“Jones?!
Damn it, what happened to you?
Fuck, go check on that guy inside?!”
As soon as the voice fell, Jones clearly heard several people run past him.
The next moment, the door to the room where Tony was being held was opened, and Tony and Yinsen’s startled cries came from inside.
Then…
came the two men’s cries of pain!
“You idiots!!!”
Hearing Tony’s cries of pain, Jones couldn’t help cursing inwardly.
He didn’t even need to think about it.
Those idiots had obviously seen him collapse on the surveillance cameras and assumed that Tony had done something to him.
Now they were beating Tony inside!
Moreover, Jones was certain that Tony was having a pretty miserable time right now.
At the same time, Tony would definitely put the blame for this on him!
“I’m screwed!
Tony and I are definitely going to be enemies to the death now!”
After letting out a helpless mental howl, Jones began silently praying.
As for what he was praying for…
Of course, he hoped his special ability would be powerful.
He didn’t ask for much.
As long as it could overpower Tony’s Iron Man armor, that would be enough!
As time slowly passed, Jones felt Tony’s screams coming from inside grow much quieter.
He didn’t know whether Tony was nearing his limit or the terrorists’ torture was finally coming to an end.
At the same time, the pain in Jones’s eyes had eased considerably.
At the very least, it was no longer so severe that he couldn’t even make a sound.
Of course, even though he could scream now, Jones didn’t cry out.
He had already endured that level of pain, so what did this little bit matter?
Compared with the pain itself, Jones was far more eager to discover what his special ability actually was.
Before long, the pain in Jones’s eyeballs finally disappeared, replaced by a warm sensation…
It felt as though he were soaking in warm water.
It was incredibly comfortable.
At the same time, a stream of information suddenly surged into Jones’s mind, instantly making him understand what had happened to his eyes.
After receiving this information, which seemed to have come from nowhere, Jones couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with joy.
“Could it be…
Superman’s eyes?!”
Just how ridiculous were Superman’s eyes?
Surely more than ninety percent of Earth’s population knew.
Night vision, long-distance vision, X-ray vision, microscopic vision…
These were merely the basic abilities of Superman’s eyes.
For Jones right now, the most useful ability of Superman’s eyes was undoubtedly heat vision!
Having heat vision didn’t mean Jones was invincible, but at the very least, it meant he could escape from the desperate situation he was currently in.
For Jones, that was undoubtedly the best possible outcome!
However, his joy at gaining Superman’s eyes didn’t last long.
The information that followed immediately poured cold water over him.
Rather than calling Jones’s current eyes Superman’s eyes, it would be more accurate to say they were the eyes of a newborn Kryptonian.
At present, Jones’s eyes had no special abilities beyond being somewhat stronger than before.
No X-ray vision, no night vision, no microscopic vision, and no heat vision, which was the ability he had been most excited about!
And if Jones wanted to possess all the abilities mentioned above…
it was very simple.
He just needed to bathe in the light and radiation of a yellow star!
Simply put, Jones’s eyes needed to grow on their own!
After figuring everything out, Jones couldn’t help sighing helplessly.
He had originally thought he was about to shoot straight to the top, but instead he was still a nobody…
The only difference was that Jones now had the capital to turn his life around!
Well, for now, he might as well honestly continue being a terrorist!
With that thought, Jones opened his eyes and nimbly climbed up from the ground.
Really, those terrorists were heartless.
After confirming that he wasn’t dead, they hadn’t even bothered to move him, simply leaving him lying there!
“Hey…
Jones, you woke up pretty quickly, didn’t you?!”
Just after getting to his feet, Jones heard a voice laced with mockery.
Though anger flared inside him, Jones’s expression remained unchanged.
He turned his head toward the source of the voice and said, “Yale…
When I was unconscious, did Boss tell you to watch that guy?”
“That’s right!” Hearing Jones’s question, The man named Yale nodded lightly, an undisguised smile in his eyes.
“Boss said you’ve caused us such a huge mess.
Once you woke up, you were to go outside and clean up all the ammunition!”
“Really?!” Hearing Yale’s words, Jones was stunned, and a hint of delight instantly appeared on his face.
“In that case!
I’ll go!”
With that, Jones didn’t even wait for Yale to say anything.
He immediately turned around and walked outside.
Then he broke into a light jog, looking almost impatient to get there!
