Paint Man was not afraid of the Peace Party; if he felt like it, he could have turned the entire vast Peace Party into human specimens alone, but there was no need for him to do so, nor was it of any interest to him.
What truly made him wary was the chairman of the Peace Party, Li Henian, who was also a Level 7 New Human and the second New Human he had encountered besides himself.
When he had evolved to a Level 7 New Human, Paint Man had gained a rough understanding of the powers possessed by Level 7 New Humans. However, in the battle with Li Henian, he found that Li was about thirty to forty percent stronger than himself, and he could not match the power that burst forth from him.
The fight with Li Henian involved a lot of probing and wasn't a serious combat. Had it been a fight to the death, Paint Man understood that he would have had a greater chance of dying.
