Before Mark could finish speaking, Fabian, realizing their intent, had a change in expression and used his ability.

With a loud boom, an invisible telekinetic force surged from his body, rushing towards the five people outside the door.

Mark and the three guards turned pale. Before they could even raise their guns, they were sent flying several meters away, landing hard on the lawn.

No. 5 had a similar fate. He was sent flying a few meters by the telekinetic force, sustaining some scratches along the way. However, these scratches healed within seconds.

As for No. 1, he didn't even move!

His body, gleaming with metallic luster, stood firmly in place like a steel pillar, completely unaffected.

"You!"

Fabian tried multiple times but couldn't budge No. 1, his face turning pale.

No. 1 grinned menacingly, "Little brat!"

Fabian, feeling panicked, shifted his gaze to the scattered guns on the ground.

Three black handguns floated into the air, their muzzles turning towards No. 1, ready to fire at any moment!

But before Fabian could fire, No. 1's action interrupted him.

Yellow light flashed in No. 1's eyes, followed by a strange noise reverberating around them.

With a series of clangs, the handguns fell to the ground.

"My power!"

Fabian stared in disbelief, fearfully looking at the metallic man with glowing yellow eyes.

"My ability has been blocked!"

No. 1 sneered, "You worthless brat."

Ignoring Fabian's struggles, he easily lifted him by the collar and tossed him in front of Mark.

"Alright, he's yours. What a bore," No. 1 said, turning back towards the car.

No. 5, eyes flashing with wariness, silently followed.

Mark, looking a bit surprised, commented, "I underestimated you."

Apologizing briefly, Mark directed his attention to Crowley, "Show them the footage of No. 37."

Crowley nodded, retrieving a silver tablet and handing it to No. 1.

No. 1 and No. 5 initially seemed indifferent, feeling it was unnecessary, but still watched out of curiosity.

As the footage played, showing No. 37's abilities and combat scenes, surprise filled their eyes. Even the despairing Fabian looked astonished.

As they watched the footage of the teenager in the midst of combat, continually defeating numerous foes with abilities like teleportation, black particles, blue energy beams, and deflecting bullets, admiration filled Fabian's eyes.

No. 1 and No. 5, despite their initial shock, soon resumed their indifferent expressions.

"That's No. 37?" No. 5 asked, "He has so many abilities?"

"Inborn" Mark nodded.

No. 1 and No. 5, despite their astonishment, still felt a hint of envy.

They had gained their powers through numerous experiments, surviving against all odds. Why did this No. 37 have such luck?

"Such a lucky brat!"

No. 1 clicked his tongue, but then regained his composure, saying, "Multiple abilities mean nothing. If he encounters me, it's over for him."

Even without his pulse interference ability, No. 1 felt confident against No. 37.

No. 5 shared a similar sentiment. Though he didn't always see eye to eye with No. 1, he acknowledged No. 1's strength, believing he could handle No. 37 with his energy blast.

At this moment, he looked forward to teaching No. 37 a lesson.

Mark, shaking his head, warned, "While we have gauged No. 37's limits and seen his abilities in this footage, you must remain cautious. His many abilities could still catch you off guard."

"Spend some time at the base to get used to each other. Once the mutant tracker arrives, we'll set off to capture No. 37."

Fabian, remaining silent, felt sympathy for No. 37.

Who knew when No. 37 would be caught...

He couldn't blame himself for thinking this way. The metal man was too powerful, with an annoying ability!

He looked at the seemingly unremarkable other person, feeling even more pity for No. 37.

As they headed back to the 23rd Experiment Base, the internet was abuzz with activity.

To calm the public, the beautiful and charming Irina hosted a live show.

In front of tens of thousands of viewers, she wore a black and white dress, her smile enchanting, speaking softly.

"Don't worry, viewers. According to the secret information I have, the mutant boy will soon be captured."

With an even more charming smile, she continued, "I've heard that the authorities have deployed their secret weapon this time!"

"As for what the secret weapon is, I'll keep it a mystery for now. Just know that this time, the boy won't escape."

Ending the live show with a smile, Irina left viewers in heated discussions.
