Chapter 257: I, the Zhu Guo Ren, the World's Strongest!

Chapter 257: I, the Zhu Guo Ren, the World's Strongest!

The seven-member group from 'The Boys' is essentially a knock-off of the DC Comics' Justice League.

Or perhaps, a watered-down version.

For instance, the 'Train Head', renowned for his speed, is a counterpart to DC's The Flash.

However, Train Head's speed pales in comparison to The Flash.

Queen Maeve, known for her invulnerability and preference for leather armor, is akin to Wonder Woman in DC.

Yet, her abilities fall short of those of Wonder Woman.

The quiet and reserved Xuan Se is a parallel to Batman.

The deceased Transparent Man, on the other hand, corresponds to Martian Manhunter.

Among the seven, the most formidable is the Zhu Guo Ren, who naturally aligns with Superman from the Justice League!

In terms of appearance and powerful abilities, he is almost identical to Superman.

Laser eyes, flight, superhuman strength, and speed... The Zhu Guo Ren possesses most of Superman's abilities.

However, compared to the real Superman, the Zhu Guo Ren is like a downgraded version.

All of his abilities are significantly inferior to those of the genuine Superman.

Interestingly, one of Zhao Zheng's innate abilities is Kryptonian bloodline.

In a sense, he too, is a part of the Superman family.

In terms of physical strength, Zhao Zheng has already surpassed Superman.

Moreover, Zhao Zheng also possesses the devastating Shin-Shin Fruit ability as one of his innate powers!

If one were to rank their strengths, it would undoubtedly be: Zhao Zheng > Superman > Zhu Guo Ren!

For Zhao Zheng, the Zhu Guo Ren poses no real threat.

Hence, he chose to approach the Zhu Guo Ren in such a direct manner.

...

"Huff!"

A sound tore through the air.

Heavy footsteps followed, and the sound of something heavy hitting the ground echoed from outside.

A startled cry came from the doorway.

Then, the Zhu Guo Ren, clad in a red cape, strode in from outside, causing many to shy away in fear due to the anger on his usually radiant face.

The Zhu Guo Ren, a walking nuclear weapon, instilled fear in all with his fury.

"Who dares to vandalize the Waut Company?" he asked, his voice cold as he scanned the room.

Everyone who met his gaze flinched and averted their eyes.

"It was me," Zhao Zheng spoke up.

Hearing Zhao Zheng's voice, the Zhu Guo Ren immediately turned his attention to him.

In truth, he had noticed the young man earlier.

As a powerful individual, his senses were keen, and he could perceive the youth's strength.

Upon seeing the faint smile on Zhao Zheng's face, the Zhu Guo Ren felt a chill.

He was an intelligent man, well aware of his global fame and power, and he assumed that everyone would either revere or fear him, or be in awe of his might.

The youth's calm demeanor could only mean two things: either he was a fool or extremely confident in his abilities.

Evidently, from the earlier heat ray incident and the Zhu Guo Ren's perception of Zhao Zheng, it was clear that the youth was the latter.

The Zhu Guo Ren had a hunch that this young man, who could injure him with just a heat ray, might be his equal.

However, with so many onlookers, he couldn't afford to back down.

His prolonged invincibility had inflated his ego, and he believed that no one in the world could match him; he was the mightiest super hero.

Not even the resurrected 'Soldier Boy' could defeat him.

With this conviction, the Zhu Guo Ren marched forward with a stern expression, determined to confront Zhao Zheng.

The onlookers immediately assumed a spectator mode, their gazes fixed on Zhao Zheng, filled with sympathy, certain that this guy was in for some bad luck.

Soon, the Zhu Guo Ren approached Zhao Zheng.

Embarrassingly, the Zhu Guo Ren was shorter than Zhao Zheng...

Zhao Zheng stood at 1.85 meters tall, while the Zhu Guo Ren was approximately 1.8 meters, appearing slightly shorter. The Zhu Guo Ren had to tilt his head slightly to look directly at Zhao Zheng.

This made the Zhu Guo Ren quite displeased!

However, with so many people in the lobby, and being a celebrity, the Zhu Guo Ren had to maintain his image as a symbol of justice and couldn't take direct action.

So, he asked, "Who are you? Why are you causing trouble at the Waut Company?"

Zhao Zheng smiled and replied, "Because I wanted to see you, but they wouldn't notify you, and I had to make an appointment? I don't have time for that."

"So, you used this method to get me to come out?"

The Zhu Guo Ren's face visibly darkened, his anger evident.

However, to maintain his image, the Zhu Guo Ren suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"Yes, I have something," Zhao Zheng said with a faint smile. "But I suggest we talk in private."

In private? The Zhu Guo Ren's eyes lit up.

He couldn't wait to talk in private, as it would be easier to teach the young man in front of him a lesson for his lack of respect.

"Follow me."

After saying this, the Zhu Guo Ren headed straight for the elevator.

The security guards by the elevator stood at a distance, too intimidated to make any move to stop him.

Zhao Zheng smiled and followed the Zhu Guo Ren.

Just then, an elevator arrived.

When the elevator doors opened, they saw Huo Che Tou, Shen Hai, and others inside.

Upon seeing the Zhu Guo Ren outside, they all jumped in surprise.

Huo Che Tou quickly spoke up, "We're here to help..."

The Zhu Guo Ren ignored him and stepped into the elevator, causing the others inside to move aside in fright.

Zhao Zheng followed and entered the elevator as well.

Seeing Zhao Zheng, Huo Che Tou and the others all showed curiosity.

Could this young man be the one who had just injured the Zhu Guo Ren?

However, as the Zhu Guo Ren didn't speak, they weren't sure how to treat Zhao Zheng, so they chose to remain silent.

After spending time with the Zhu Guo Ren, they had learned the rule for survival!

As long as they didn't talk out of turn, they wouldn't make mistakes!

...

This elevator was a special one used internally by the company, and it was slightly faster than regular elevators.

In just a moment, the elevator reached the 68th floor and stopped.

The Zhu Guo Ren took the lead, walking out of the elevator with his hands behind his back, exuding a leader's aura.

Zhao Zheng was the second to exit.

After the two of them left, the other super heroes followed one by one.

Then, the Zhu Guo Ren led everyone into the conference room.

As soon as Zhao Zheng entered the conference room, his gaze swept around.

"A Zu, is this your conference room? It's quite nice!"

This conference room was a protruding part of the upper floors of the company building, specially designed for the Qi Ren Zu. The exterior was entirely made of large glass windows, allowing ample natural light.

Standing in the conference room, one could see the bustling city center with a single glance.

At that moment, Zhao Zheng walked to the front of the conference table and sat down, spinning around a couple of times before smiling and saying, "This chair is pretty good too. I'll sit here from now on. No objections, right, everyone?"

Huo Che Tou, Shen Hai, Mei Fu Wang Hou, and the others were all stunned.

They were shocked by Zhao Zheng's actions! Because that was the Zhu Guo Ren's seat...
