Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1109 So, what is the price?

"Boss, you are amazing. Kasumigaoka Utaha has been continuously providing energy since the beginning. The source of this power seems to be endless!"

The system was filled with admiration for Luther's ability.

It originally thought that as a kendo master, Busujima Saeko's energy supply had reached its peak, but it never expected that Kasumigaoka Utaha, a literary talent, could contribute even more energy.

However, the speed of absorbing energy in this way is still too slow. The system secretly calculated that although this energy absorption speed is considerable, it is still far from the grand blueprint in its mind.

It craves more energy and more "plot characters" to join this energy feast.

After all, in this world interwoven with countless stories, each character possesses unique powers. How spectacular it would be if you could master them all!
Such an idea is nothing but a pipe dream for ordinary hosts.

Ordinary hosts lack the ability to protect themselves. Once exposed to the public, they can easily become the target of public criticism or even meet with unexpected events.

But Luther is different. He is so powerful that even the system is in awe. His unfathomable strength makes the system believe that Luther is fully capable of "fooling" the whole world in some way and making more people voluntarily become his source of energy.

But Luther seemed unusually calm at this moment, as if everything was under his control, or he didn't care about it at all.

He didn't make any movements, nor did he say anything to reveal his inner thoughts, which made the system curious and uneasy, and it didn't dare to ask easily.

Just as the system fell into deep thought, Busujima Saeko's figure appeared in the field of vision, like a breeze blowing through the summer heat, bringing a hint of coolness.

With firm steps and determination and expectation in her eyes, she walked straight towards Luther who was dining in the restaurant.

"Mr. Luther..."

Busujima Saeko's voice was gentle but firm. She stood beside Luther and bowed slightly to show respect.

Hearing this, Luther looked up at her with a gentle smile on his face, which seemed to dispel all the haze in an instant.

"It's Saeko, you've come just in time, let's have dinner together."

There was no sense of alienation in Luther's words, but instead revealed a kind of intimacy and friendliness, which made Busujima Saeko feel warm in her heart.

"Thank you."

Busujima Saeko responded softly and sat down opposite Luther without any hesitation. She had mixed feelings in her heart, both the joy of finding Luther and the confusion of not knowing how to start the conversation.

She longs to obtain supernatural powers, not only for the future of the Busujima family, but also to be able to face unknown challenges.

But this desire was so strong that she couldn't find a suitable way to express it for a moment.

At the table, the two ate and chatted, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Although Luther no longer had the need to eat, he still enjoyed the time of dining with others, which was a kind of love and respect for life.

His words were light-hearted and humorous, causing Busujima Saeko to chuckle from time to time, and the distance between the two of them was inadvertently shortened a lot.

Busujima Saeko thought while eating, she knew she couldn't keep hesitating like this.

So, at the end of the meal, she finally plucked up the courage and decided to express her wishes directly to Luther.

"Luther, what price do we, the Busujima family, have to pay to gain supernatural powers?"

Busujima Saeko's voice was soft but extremely firm, and her eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.

At this moment, she is no longer the gentle Yamato Nadeshiko, but a warrior who shoulders the family mission and bravely pursues her dreams.

"Saeko, supernatural power is not easily obtained, it requires a corresponding price. But for me, what is more important is whether a person has the will and determination to bear this power. You are qualified." Luther then said.

"Really? Lude-kun, are you willing to teach me?"

Busujima Saeko's heartbeat accelerated and her eyes flashed with unprecedented excitement, a mixture of anticipation, nervousness and disbelief.

She could hardly believe her ears. It all happened too suddenly, like a sudden dream, so beautiful that she dared not touch it.

Her slightly opened lips trembled slightly, as if even breathing had become difficult.

At this moment, she seemed to see the future she had always dreamed of - a future where she could master supernatural powers and transcend the limits of mortals. It was beckoning to her, bringing with it endless temptation and hope.

However, Luther's next words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing some of the enthusiasm in her heart.

"No, you're just qualified."

Luther corrected the girl's fantasy, how could it be so easy to get.

Reminding her that the road to power is much more difficult and longer than she imagined.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Busujima Saeko's face, but she quickly adjusted her mood and her eyes became firm again.

"So, Luther, what's the price?"

She asked directly and bravely, knowing that behind any powerful force, there are hidden secrets and costs. This awareness is what she must be prepared for before embarking on this path.

"Everything in the outer world is insignificant to the inner world. Do you think the chips you can offer are attractive to me?"

Luther said in an unfathomable way.

Busujima Saeko was silent, and she began to think seriously about Luther's words.

She had already vaguely guessed the meaning and concept of the boundary between the outer world and the inner world.

The surface world is our familiar daily life, full of rules and order; the inner world is a realm hidden beneath reality, full of unknowns and miracles. It is the source of supernatural power and the yearning and fear in the hearts of countless people.

The supernatural power is the most tempting treasure in this world. It not only enables people to gain abilities beyond ordinary people, but also hides the secret of immortality and everlasting life.

Thinking of this, Busujima Saeko couldn't help but feel a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.

She suddenly realized that she knew very little about the inner world. She was like a newborn baby facing the vast universe, feeling both curious and fearful.

She couldn't help but ask herself, what on earth could she have as a bargaining chip to exchange for this power?

Is it wealth? In this world where power is everything, money seems to be meaningless.

Is it status? In the other world where there is no order, power is nothing but illusion.

So, what else can she come up with?
"Luther, I..."

Busujima Saeko's voice trembled a little. She didn't know if she could afford the price behind this power.
