213: Enjoy four times the happiness
Tian Ming looked at Lisa, who was seething with indignation. The failure of this operation was a heavy loss for Lisa. The Energy Hunting Squad she led was the strongest in the family.
"I warn you, our Lawrence Family is not something you can handle. If anything happens to me, you will face the wrath of the family and pay a heavy price," Lisa said with anger.
Tian Ming waved his hand, interrupting her, "Alright, stop threatening me. The technology your family possesses did indeed impress me. So..."
A smile played on Tian Ming's lips, making Lisa's heart pound.
"So, I've decided to make you my hostage to extort your family."
Lisa's face immediately turned pale. She never expected Tian Ming to have such an idea. Although the family had a lot of wealth, it was all used for developing various technologies. While the family wouldn't abandon her in a ransom situation, they definitely wouldn't agree unconditionally.
Tian Ming looked at Lisa, feeling a bit annoyed. As a Superpower User, only he could suppress her abilities. His suppression range was a 20-meter radius. If Lisa was a hostage, she would have to stay by his side. If she didn't, she would definitely escape.
Tian Ming touched his earpiece: "Meng Xian, interrogation room, come here."
Soon, Meng Xian arrived at the interrogation room.
"Boss, what's up?"
Tian Ming pointed to Lisa sitting in the chair and said, "She's a Superpower User. As soon as she leaves my control range, she'll definitely escape. Do you have any way to imprison this Superpower User?"
Meng Xian was also in a difficult position. Superpower Users were different from ordinary people; they possessed powerful abilities, and imprisoning them was not an easy task. Elemental control, temperature elevation, and decomposition—Superpower Users possessed one or two of these abilities. So, imprisoning them was truly harder than ascending to heaven.
After a moment of thought, Meng Xian said, "Boss, if it really comes down to it, we can use anesthetics. As long as she's unconscious, she won't escape."
Tian Ming nodded. Anesthesia was indeed the best way to deal with Ability Users. If their minds stopped, they wouldn't run away.
At this moment, Shen Yuan pushed the door open and said, "Don't bother. Anesthesia won't work. Ability Users' metabolism is much stronger than ordinary people's. They'll wake up and still be able to escape."
Tian Ming looked at Shen Yuan and asked, "Then, Miss, do you have a better idea?"
Shen Yuan walked over, looked at Tian Ming, and said, "What other good idea could there be? We can only use this!" As she spoke, she took out a black wristband.
"This is?" Tian Ming asked curiously.
"This is our latest technological product, called the Inhibitor Bracelet. It can suppress the abilities of Ability Users," Shen Yuan explained.
"Does it work?" Tian Ming was half-skeptical. He took it from Shen Yuan's hand and immediately put it on his own wrist.
Tian Ming's action left Shen Yuan speechless.
"Boss, why are you wearing that? Put it on her."
Tian Ming chuckled, "I'll try it first to see if it's effective."
After Tian Ming put on the bracelet, he began to use his ability. As soon as he had the slightest thought of using his ability, the bracelet immediately released an extremely strong current. The current was incredibly strange, like a needle directly piercing into his mind.
"Hiss!" Tian Ming's ability was interrupted and did not manifest.
"Boss, are you alright?" Shen Yuan quickly stepped forward and asked.
Tian Ming shook his head. He had to admit, this thing was really powerful.
Tian Ming asked with some curiosity, "What's the principle behind this thing?"
Shen Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, it's just a field sensor combined with electro-acupuncture. The bracelet discharges electricity close to the nerve endings on the skin. When an Ability User uses their ability, an energy field is generated. As long as there's a change in the energy field, it will directly use current to interfere with normal conscious thought, thereby interrupting the Ability User's use of their ability."
Tian Ming directly replicated a bracelet. He smiled, raised his hand, and with a snap, the bracelet on his wrist shattered. This kind of Inhibitor Bracelet was useless to Tian Ming. Because Tian Ming could probe the internal structure and instantly disconnect the internal circuits.
Tian Ming smiled and said, "It doesn't seem to work on me. As long as I focus on the bracelet, I can decompose it before it releases current to interfere with me."
Shen Yuan wasn't disappointed, after all, Tian Ming's efficiency in manipulating microscopic particles was orders of magnitude higher than that of a Superpower User.
Tian Ming directly replicated five or six Inhibitor Bracelets and said to Shen Yuan, "Go, put them on that foreign girl. Put them on both her hands and feet."
Shen Yuan followed Tian Ming's instructions and put Inhibitor Bracelets on Lisa's hands and feet.
Lisa's face completely darkened. Was it necessary to wear so many?
"Bastard, one is enough! Why did you put four on me?"
Tian Ming chuckled, "If you try to escape, you can enjoy four times the pleasure. Meng Xian, lock her up. Monitor her 24 hours a day. Watch her closely; this person is our cash cow."
Meng Xian nodded and had Huang Qiusheng take Lisa away to be imprisoned. After they had gone some distance, Lisa's scream suddenly echoed.
"Ah, Lu Tianming, you bastard, I'll kill you!" Lisa's angry voice came from outside the door. Having left the suppression range, Lisa immediately used her ability, but as expected, she immediately enjoyed four times the pleasure.
Shen Yuan walked over, giggling, and asked, "Why aren't you more gentle with women? Lisa is so beautiful. And you put four Inhibitor Bracelets on her?"
Tian Ming tapped Shen Yuan's nose, saying indulgently, "I was afraid you'd get jealous. Being beautiful doesn't put food on the table. This Lisa is a key person for me to extort the Life Origins technology. If she runs away, then all my efforts will be in vain."
"Hmph, Boss, why are you so glib now? What do we do next?" Shen Yuan asked.
Tian Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Use the radio to contact Life Origins. Tell them to send someone to negotiate properly. If something like today happens again, don't blame me for being impolite."
Shen Yuan said, "Boss, what if they abandon Lisa? If our demands are too excessive, it might make the Lawrence Family abandon this Superpower User, Lisa."
Tian Ming smiled calmly and said, "Boil the frog slowly, understand? As long as they come to talk, we can slowly fleece this sheep."
Shen Yuan couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Boss, I'm just realizing now that you're actually quite mischievous."
Tian Ming raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Mischievous? I think it's quite normal. They wanted me for experiments and never had good intentions from the start. I'm just giving them a taste of their own medicine."
