King in Marvel- CH-90. The Purpose of the Fighting Arena

Claire giggled and nodded.

[Claire Bennett, friendship level increased by 5%.]

'Okay? This can increase friendship?'

Michael shook his head helplessly and turned to go into the hotel.

The hotel only had three floors, so Michael directly chose a room on the third floor. After entering and taking a look, he felt that it was not bad. Although it was a little small, it was quite clean. He walked to the window, opened it, and looked down. Claire was right below.

But the back was very clear, and there was nothing for her to climb.

Claire was worrying about how to get up, but suddenly she saw Michael climbing out of the window and jumping down.

Michael bent down, put his arms around Claire's waist, then jumped lightly and jumped directly to the window on the third floor, letting Claire go in first, and he followed closely behind.

After coming in, Claire looked around curiously, then looked at Michael nervously.

For some reason, she wasn't nervous before, but after coming in, perhaps affected by the environment, she felt inexplicably nervous. This was her first time in a hotel and also her first time living in the same room with a man and being alone with him.

They were a single man and a single woman, Michael was very charming, and although Claire was still a little girl, she couldn't help being nervous.

"Continue?" Michael asked in a low voice.

Claire nodded. "Okay, I really want to return to normal. Mom, Dad, and my brother, sometimes I really don't know how to face them. I'm afraid they will think I'm a monster if they get to know!"

"Believe me, they won't..."

Michael smiled and pulled Claire to sit down. Claire took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"Don't be so nervous, just relax."

Reaching out his hand, Michael began to absorb it again.

The result was still resistance, and it seemed to be stronger than last time.

[Ding, the side quest is released!]

[Side quest: Obtain the abilities of the undead Claire!]

While Michael was trying to devour, the system suddenly issued a task. After hearing the content of the task, Michael was happy. He didn't expect that the side quest would be this. It seemed to overlap with the main quest, but it was good this way—killing two birds with one stone.

Putting aside other thoughts, Michael began to concentrate on activating his devouring ability.

He could feel that it was resisting very fiercely, and the two energies began to pull at each other. Beads of sweat gradually appeared on Michael's forehead. He could feel that he was gradually gaining the upper hand, and it began to be pulled out gradually.

"Come out!"

Michael gritted his teeth and growled, subconsciously holding on tightly.

Claire snorted instantly, her brows slightly furrowed. Being grabbed by Michael was very painful—not only painful, but also a strange feeling. She bit her lip, enduring Michael's hand getting stronger and stronger. She seemed to feel something leaving her body. She slowed down her breathing, not daring to disturb Michael. Her heart was faintly nervous—was it going to... succeed?

"It's done!"

Feeling that its resistance was getting weaker and weaker and that he was about to successfully devour it, Michael increased his strength.

"It hurts… it hurts…"

As he increased his strength, Claire couldn't help but cry out in a low voice while shaking.

"Don't move, hold on a little longer, it will be out soon..." Michael shouted in a low roar.

"Ahhh…it's…it's coming out…"

Michael suddenly roared, and the devouring ability instantly returned to his body. At the same time, he could feel it coming with it, and he had obtained Claire's ability!

Bang!

Just when Michael subconsciously relaxed, the door was suddenly slammed open, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses rushed over angrily. He rushed in aggressively, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he suddenly stopped.

"Dad, why are you here?" Claire asked subconsciously in surprise as she looked at the man who rushed in.

Burnett, Claire's adoptive father.

"Honey, are you... are you... okay?" Burnett looked at Claire, especially her clothes, which were intact. He hesitated for a moment and asked.

"I'm fine, Dad. He..." Claire shook her head and was about to speak, but she heard Burnett say softly.

"I'm glad you're fine, honey. Can you go down and wait for me? I want to talk to him."

Claire hesitated, but Michael winked at her and said with a smile, "Go ahead, I want to talk to your father too."

"Um."

Claire nodded and turned to leave.

Burnett closed the door, and the kind expression on his face disappeared instantly. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Michael's clothes, shouting, "Who are you, and what did you do to my daughter?"

"What do you think I did?"

Michael had a good impression of Burnett because he was a father—a real father. Although his life was full of deception and lies, it was undeniable that he was really good to Claire and was really trying to protect her.

Therefore, Michael was not angry about Burnett's behavior. He lightly grabbed his hand and asked him to let go of him, then slowly straightened his clothes and said, "If you're worried that I lied to your daughter about something beyond friendship, then you can rest assured. Although the words you just heard, such as 'It hurts' and 'Don't move, it will come out soon,' seem a bit misleading, and at first glance, they sounded a bit like that, but you also saw that it was obviously not the case!"

"Who are you?"

Burnett had indeed misunderstood, and anyone who heard such a conversation at the door would have misunderstood.

"It hurts… it hurts…"

"Don't move, just hold on for a while, and it will come out."

"Ahhh, it's coming out."

Such a conversation, coupled with the low roar that seemed to be an outburst, would be strange if it didn't cause misunderstanding.

"My name is Michael, nice to meet you, Mr. Burnett." Michael said with a smile.

"What did you do to my daughter?"

Burnett frowned. Although it was not that kind of thing, it was obvious that this strange man named Michael must have done something to Claire.

"Don't be nervous. Actually... you and I have the same goal, and you should thank me." Michael smiled, and seeing that Burnett's expression did not relax, he explained, "I know that you nominally work in a paper mill, but actually work for a special department, right? A department that specializes in finding people with superpowers. At the beginning, maybe you just adopted Claire for the organization's arrangement, but people have feelings, so you have been protecting her for so many years, protecting her ability from being discovered, and protecting her from leaving your side. Am I right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

Burnett shook his head, feeling a little ridiculous, and turned around, but quietly took out a gun from his arms. Turning suddenly, he pointed the gun at Michael and asked coldly: "How do you know this? Are you also a person with special abilities?"

Looking at the pitch-black muzzle of the gun, Michael shook his head and lightly hooked his finger. Burnett's gun instantly flew out of his hand and into Michael's hand.
