"Should I try to materialize this island nation guy's abilities?"
Michael narrowed his eyes and pulled out a portable notebook.
That's right, this small portable notebook was also 'borrowed' from that group of individuals who were very likely mercenaries.
Estimating that a fight wouldn't break out for a while, Michael jogged to the vicinity of the transaction point, as his current strength still had a slight distance limitation when using the mutated gem.
But Michael didn't know if this guy was really a ninja, but to test his abilities, Michael decided to use a vague description to generally materialize his combat abilities.
Yes, only combat abilities. Michael didn't want to imprint this guy's other memories. What if he turned himself into someone who would harm his own people? [Terrifying]
Harming his own people would be one thing, but what if, based on those imprinted memories, he was brainwashed and became a brain-dead member of The Hand who would harm his own people? [Horror]
After getting ready, Michael's mind moved, and the mutated gem immediately emitted an invisible force, scanning the island nation man named Sasaki.
Then, a piece of information was fed back to Michael.
However, the information relayed back to Michael left him somewhat dumbfounded.
Materializing Sasaki's combat abilities only required a mere 20 energy points?
"What the heck?"
"This guy, is he not a ninja?"
Michael's gaze towards Sasaki was filled with disbelief.
In Michael's opinion, someone who could expressionlessly endure a white leader's large, fan-like slaps and also make the white leader sweat profusely with just a light pat on the shoulder, his strength certainly wouldn't be low!
In Michael's opinion, to replicate and materialize the combat abilities of such a person, at least 100 energy points would be needed to be impressive!
But Michael never expected that it would only require a mere 20 points?
Although Michael currently didn't have 20 energy points and couldn't materialize his combat abilities, his intention in doing this was to test how strong this Sasaki would be, wasn't it?
Originally, according to Michael's guess, if this Sasaki from The Hand was indeed a ninja-like, superhuman individual beyond ordinary people, then Michael would definitely not be able to materialize him.
According to Michael's original plan, although this would prevent him from materializing, he was prepared to materialize a global biological positioning chip within this guy named Sasaki to find The Hand's lair, and then 'rob' them once he gained enough strength.
But the materialization condition of only 20 energy points made Michael hesitate.
Mere firearm ability was worth 10 energy points, and Big Daddy and Hit-Girl were just trained ordinary people.
Even if Sasaki was slightly stronger than Big Daddy and Hit-Girl, how much stronger could he be? His combat abilities would only be worth 20 energy points at most!
However, this guy's action of patting the white leader earlier, and the white leader's reaction, didn't seem fake.
Could there be some unique technique involved? Like acupuncture, hitting a pain point?
If that were the case, then this guy wouldn't be worth Michael materializing his abilities.
In fact, with this level of combat power, he might only be a small or medium-level leader within The Hand.
It would be absolutely impossible to locate The Hand's hidden headquarters through him... Actually, it's not surprising that Michael thought this way.
After all, this is a World capable of interstellar travel, and the enemies are more often aliens.
You can't expect a pressure point technique that is effective against humans to work on aliens, can you?
Who would you pressure point? Ego, the God whose true form is a sphere? The Collector, that Cosmic Elder from the Tivan family?
Grandmaster, the Cosmic Elder of the gladiator arena? Or Thanos, the Sunset Purple Sweet Potato?
Forget aliens, try pressure pointing a Hulk!
Do you think the big green guy wouldn't just backhand you into a pulp?!
With some disappointment, Michael tucked the palm-sized notebook back into his pocket, shaking his head as he returned to the container where Hit-Girl was hiding.
Michael decided to observe for a while longer; if the value wasn't significant, he would just let it go.
In fact, deep down, Michael didn't believe the ninjas of The Hand could be that strong.
Otherwise, The Hand wouldn't need to fear a mere 'ordinary person' like Kingpin.
Even if Kingpin Gang had many capital forces behind him, if the five Kunlun traitors like Madame Gao were truly strong enough, why would they care about a mere Kingpin, and why would they act according to the whims of capital?
Of course, if these guys had no value alive, then their salvage value wouldn't be low!
Counting carefully, just the Kingpin Gang and The Hand members combined amounted to nearly two hundred people.
What's more, there were dozens of well-equipped, practically armed-to-the-teeth 'suspected mercenaries' lurking in the shadows!
With so many people, even if only half of them lost their lives here, for Michael, it would be a hundred percent windfall!
This was literally 'real money-grabbing'!
...In fact, as soon as Michael saw that these guys were trading 'laundry powder,' he wasn't going to let them go.
Because Michael knew how immense the harm of 'laundry powder' was!
If he didn't know, then so be it. If he didn't have the power, then so be it.
But now, with the Golden Finger—the [mutated gem]—in hand, and the Firearms Proficiency ability that ordinary people couldn't possess.
According to Michael's values, when he had the ability to intervene, he would absolutely not allow 'laundry powder' to be traded right before his eyes without doing anything.
Of course, Michael wouldn't be foolish enough to go in alone.
As an intelligent higher life form, anyone who doesn't utilize the tools at hand, or even within reach, is trash!
Is Michael trash?
Clearly not!
Michael demonstrated what it means to make the best use of everything with his actions!
Michael directly used all the detonators and explosives brought by that 'suspected mercenary' team to completely encircle the entire dock!
No one involved in this transaction would escape!
Just thinking about it filled him with anticipation!
Michael: I! Will salvage everything!
I! Michael! Will get rich overnight!
