Seiya and Selena appeared in a bar in the center of the second district.

The bar was spacious enough to accommodate 50 people and was crowded. As they took their seats, Seiya ordered a white carbonated drink while Selena a pink one. However, Selena’s face looked somewhat dissatisfied.

「Why are you so angry, bird woman? Does it displease you this much when people see us as lovers? 」
「Not really~. I don’t think about it at all」
「It’s suspicious otherwise」
「I know」

Selena understood that it would have been unnatural otherwise. The problem was in his inattentiveness. Due to that inattentiveness, she was in a bad mood.

「You’ll let your cute face go to waste if you keep making such an expression」
「Eh?」

Selena turned towards Seiya with a blank face.

However, she was met with Seiya’s questioning gaze. What? Thought Selena when she noticed that the nearby couple said the line, which caused her to feel even worse.

What’s wrong with Selena, Seiya made a troubled expression.

Around 10 P.M., they were still in the bar as the guest around them gradually changed.

The customers that came before them finished their business and went to look for another bar or home.

「Hey, we are drinking juice since a while ago. Shouldn’t we ask around? 」

Worried Selena. At this point, Seiya sat there for an hour and a half drinking juice and doing nothing else.

Moreover, once she tried to listen herself Seiya stopped her. She didn’t know what he was thinking about.

「Well, just wait. Did you bring your magic guns? 」
「Yeah, inside my skirt」
「Then it’s fine. Wait a little more」
「U, un」

Once he confirmed that she brought her magic guns, he once again turned silent and started drinking juice. Seeing his state, Selena too turned her attention towards her third cup of juice.

Selena kept her magic guns even with her dress appearance. She always kept her magic guns on her waist but that wasn’t possible with the dress. Thus, she wrapped the holster around her hips inside the skirt.

「It’s about time」

About half an hour later, Seiya said this and paid for the services.

「Are you going?」
「Yeah」

Although lacking understanding, she stood up and followed him out of the bar. After that, the two walked on the road leading to their hotel.

Selena walked while thinking that this atmosphere was like that of the date when Seiya suddenly grabbed her arm once they passed a corner.

「Eh?」

The moment they turned around the corner Seiya pulled Selena’s arm and started running only to suddenly stop soon after.

Selena was about to fall due to her balance being disrupted because of the sudden movements but Seiya caught her into his embrace.

Selena didn’t understand what happened at the beginning but gradually understood the situation. She was currently nestled in Seiya’s embrace.

Selena’s face turned bright red. All the way to her ears.

「Please wait, my heart is not ready……」
「Sorry. Be quiet」
「Eh, really? 」

Her face became even redder under his serious stare. While her head was filled with「You have a fiancée! 」type of thoughts, Seiya turned towards another direction.

「It seems that you intend to follow us, who are you?」

On the other side of his line of sight, there was a figure of a man in his thirties. Selena followed his line of sight and examined the man.

The man had a mustache and a hat, which made him look like a detective. Although, there are no detectives in this world.

「Chi, when did you notice?」

Since the man asked such a thing, Seiya helped Selena stand up and answered.

「A moment before we entered the bar. For a brief moment, you made a surprised expression seeing the bird woman. Adding to that, you was sitting on the opposite side while paying us a bit too much attention」

Meaning that he observed them for a long time.

「I see. I’ll just say it honestly. I was surprised how cute this lady is. I was thinking about asking her out for a tea or something like that」

Hearing the man’s words, Selena hid behind Seiya’s back. Upon seeing her reaction, the man immediately became dejected.

However, Seiya’s opinion was completely different. He didn’t think that this guy truly liked Selena.

Seiya always acted together with Lily and Yua, who could be called as unprecedented beauties. He’d seen the surprised expressions of men numerous times.

Their faces seemed to say「So such a beautiful girl exist」. However, the man’s face was more of「Why is she here? 」kind of face.

「It can’t be helped since I’m rejected~. I’m going home, my lady. Have a nice time」

Said the man as he tried to leave. From Selena’s standpoint, she was happy to see this stalker disappear as soon as possible.

However, there was someone who didn’t wish for the man to leave. It was Seiya.

「Wait a bit」

Don!!

With this sound, the gravity increased trying to stop the man from leaving. Of course, it was the work of his recently upgraded bloodlust.

Being hit by the bloodlust, the man stood in place while sweating bullets. The man was confident if the fact that no one passes in this place during the night and didn’t call for help.

Dosun!!!!

Seiya raised the intensity of his bloodlust even further.

The man could continue standing and was forced into sitting position. He tried to run but his body didn’t listen, tried to do a full mana release but even that wasn’t allowed under Seiya’s bloodlust. [1]

「Hey, the reason you started at the bird woman wasn’t that she is cute, right?」

The trembling man used all the power he could master to shake his head. The man understood at that moment. He touched something that shouldn’t be touched,

You can’t do anything against this monster. His life was in the hands of the blonde youth behind him.

「You were surprised because you’ve seen the face that resembles the bird woman’s recently, right? And you also should know her location, correct? 」

The man somehow understood that he referred to Selena as the bird woman. However, answering his question any further would make him betray his Lord.

Rather than that, it’s better to commit suicide……he thought but didn’t even manage to bite his tongue off under the effect of the bloodlust.

Selena just silently looked at the man. There was a matter of her fear in play but more than that, she wanted to know about Moka, so she left everything to Seiya.

「If you won’t answer, I won’t let you off easily」

Pachin!!

Seiya waved his finger and the man’s left ear disappeared without a trace. [2]

「Nnnnnnnnnnnnn」

Without being able to scream, the man was forced to silently endure the disappearance of his left ear.

「What is next? A finger? Nose? Or maybe an eye? 」

The man shook his head in fear with all his might.

The blood scattered for the place where his left ear has been but he didn’t pay it any attention. Although missing these parts won’t kill the man, his life after that is going to be horrible. The man came to know fear.

Then, he imagined his life without any of the parts mentioned by Seiya.

「Are you going to answer?」

Hearing his words, the man vigorously nodded his head. He could feel a mad desire to live from the man.

Seeing his state, Selena, although didn’t lose her words, gripped Seiya’s sleeve.

Seiya weakened his bloodlust allowing the man to speak but he still won’t able to move the rest of his body.

「I get it. I’ll talk. I’ll talk so please stop」
「It depends on you」

The man started to desperately talk.

「I did see a person resembling this girl yesterday」

Seiya was surprised. Surprised by the technology that made the travel for criminals faster by one day compared to his group on the magic horses. The man didn’t care for his surprise and continued.

「That person was older that this lady and was restrained」
「Where is she?」
「This is……」

Seiya narrowed his eyes when the man was struggling to produce an answer. Seeing such Seiya, the man became flustered.

「Understood. I-I’ll tell, please have mercy. She is in the Demon King’s palace」
「Demon King’s palace? 」

Hearing the words he had no recollection of, Seiya tilted his head. The man didn’t pay this any attention and continued talking trying to stay alive.

「That’s right. Blod-sama’s palace is across the mountains. She is a valuable specimen brought by Blod-sama from outside. I don’t know the details. I just thought to receive a reward for bringing this girl to him since she resembled that woman who made him this much happy. It’s the truth! Please, believe me! 」

The man desperately said. He was desperate to live.

「Is this Blod you mentioned Blod Mamon?」
「Yeah, that’s him」
「I see. That’s enough」
「Then! 」
「Sure, I shall release you」

Saying that, Seiya used the Holy Attribute to restore the man’s ear.

Failing to hide his surprise at his ear being restored, the man looked at Seiya.

The same was true for Selena next to Seiya. Selena didn’t know what kind of magic it was but understood that it was somehow connected to Seiya’s secret. At the same time, she intuitively felt that it was something she shouldn’t touch.

「Don’t tell anyone about this. If you tell anyone, out next meeting won’t be this easy for you to survive」
「Y-Yes」

In the end, the man bowed and run off somewhere. Looking at the man with pity, Selena thought. [3]

「All right then, we know the location so let’s go back」
「Un」

Seiya began to walk intending to return to the hotel. Faced with his back view, Selena said.

「Hey, lolicon」
「What?」

Said Seiya as he turned around. What was that power? Who the hell are you? she wanted to ask. However, the words stuck in her throat before she could say them.

「Nothing」
「I see」

After that, the two returned to the hotel.


Thank you for reading. This time I’m going to talk about Seiya and Selena’s date. As an author, I felt that it’s about time for Selena to go dere……..I can only apologize to anti-Selena faction. However, I intend to make the next episode about Seiya and Yua. I’d be glad if you read it^^ [4]



 


  1. What kind of God-rank binding skill is that? 
  2. Just realized. Dark magic can make you a good hitman. 
  3. Why do I think that you didn’t let him go without any parting present, Seiya-kun? 
  4. Yeah, I’m being obvious. This is the author’s note.

Chapter 121
Scouting

Chu Shen, Lucas, and Su Gagi took two days to reach the magical beast hunting zone. Just like with the previous world, there was towns around each hunting zone. Chu Shen and co. went into the local town to check out the atmosphere and the resources the town had for sale.

They browsed a couple of shops to find out what was there. They also bought a couple tools such as axes, saws, and some other building materials. After they looked around town for two hours, they left for the hunting zone. Su Gagi told them his opinion of the town’s wares as they entered the forest.

“This place is a ripoff. The prices are 30% higher here than in any other place I’ve been. Not to mention the fact that the beast cores sell for 5% less as well.” He was obviously offended at the prices in the hunting town.

Chu Shen shrugged. “It’s not that big a deal. All we have to do is make a trip to get supplies from a different town. There’s one a day’s ride from the hunting zone. We can collect any supplies we need from there.”

Lucas nodded. “Chu Shen here is an artificer. If we can buy the supplies cheap and sell the artifacts here then we’ll definitely make a killing.”

Su Gagi looked confused. “What is an ‘artificer’? It sounds like an important job from your voice but I’ve never heard of it.”

Now it was Lucas’ turn to be confused. “Haven’t you heard of an artifact?”

Su Gagi shook his head. “No, I don’t know what an artifact is.”

Lucas sighed. “Well, artificers create artifacts. Artifacts are essentially weapons or armor that has inscriptions in them. The inscriptions give the item different effects like unleashing a blast of mana.

Su Gagi suddenly showed comprehension. “Ah, you mean you can create magic tools? No wonder you seemed so protective of him, such a rare job to be a Magic Painter. It’s a pretty valuable occupation.”

Chu Shen, who had been listening in on the conversation, decided it was time to butt in. “Sorry for all of Lucas’ annoying chatter. We just called it a different name in our town. Artificers create the weapon from the ground up. We forge the blade and then put the magic paint on.”

Su Gagi was shocked at that. “You mean you actually make the tools yourself? I’ve never heard of a Magic Painter doing that. Most of them are stuck up snobs. That must explain why you’re so nice, you actually know about hard work.”

Chu Shen shrugged. “Well, by making the tool myself I can get a feel for the metal. Then I can make the best inscription for it. Altogether it’s much better than inscribing some random hunk of metal.”

Su Gagi shrugged. “I don’t know. It seems like you would know more about it than I do. All I can do is kill stuff and teach so I’ll leave the crafting part to you. Anyways, shouldn’t we be more focused on scouting the forest?”

“Oh please.” Lucas rolled his eyes. “I have a program running to identify threa-”

“Ahem” Chu Shen coughed lightly.

Lucas appeared suitably chastened after Chu Shen’s gentle reminder. “Uh, what I mean to say was that we should split up and cover at least ten miles of the hunting zone. We’re looking for any hazardous spots and especially dangerous magic beasts, right?”

Su Gagi nodded. “There shouldn’t be any since we checked the map in town but it is still a good idea to double check everything. This isn’t like buying a hat, there are people’s lives at stake”

“Alright, so we are agreed then? We split up and cover the hunting zone?” Chu Shen asked as the mediator. Everyone nodded in agreement. “Alright then. I’ll take the left, Lucas you take the middle, Su Gagi you take the right. Everyone good? Then let’s get started.”

Everyone started off in their own directions. Chu Shen wasn’t too concerned with scouting out the hunting zone. To be honest, they didn’t even need to enter the forest at all. The reason was because of Lucas’ drones. Lucas loved modifying them and one of the mods was adding a scanner to each drone.

The drones had energy scanners, 3d mapping, cameras, and pattern recognition software that had been uploaded from different dictionaries and encyclopedias. As a result, them going into the forest was more like an excuse for Chu Shen to relax for a little while.

Of course, there was also the additional reason for keeping Su Gagi in the dark about their capabilities. While Chu Shen was confident that Su Gagi and everyone else in their ragtag group wouldn’t betray them, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

By not having Su Gagi know about technology, he was kept safe from mentioning it on accident. Unlike a certain cyborg that keeps blurting things out. He was getting a headache just thinking about Lucas and his big mouth. Normally Lucas wasn’t so talkative but having someone new around seemed to stimulate his motormouth. Literally.

They only stopped scouting out the forest after four hours. With that it was getting close to night time. Chu Shen volunteered for the first watch while everyone else got into sleeping bags they had brought along. Every three hours the guard would wake one of the others up and have him take their place.

The next day, they went back into the forest and started scouting once again. They covered forty miles of forest that day which was half of the hunting zone. It turns out that since this was only a Rank 3 hunting zone, it was very big. The higher rank the hunting zone, the smaller it was.

The reason was that low rank magical beasts can breed a lot faster than high rank magical beasts. An example would be the Scorching Horned Rabbit. A single couple can make over 12 baby rabbits, all of which will be adults in less than two months.

As a result, low rank magical beasts need a lot of space since they seem to constantly repopulate. Furthermore, high rank beasts need less space but these hunting zones have stricter policies than the low rank hunting zones. Strict laws to prevent overhunting were enforced in high rank hunting zones. It would be bad if all the animals were killed after all.

They scoured the forest for the rest of the day before they finally called it quits. The next day it was time for the final step. They needed to locate an area outside of the hunting zone that they could base the kids training camp out of. The requirements for it weren’t very strict.

They needed a large open area with running water by it. They also needed trees so they could have wood for the fire. It also needed to be far enough from the hunting zone that the beasts wouldn’t bother coming out to attack them.

Everyone started looking for such an area even though Lucas found one pretty quickly with his drones. Chu Shen subtly guided them to the area Lucas had found for Su Gagi’s sake. Upon reaching it, they took out the axes and cut down all of the trees surrounding the twenty foot diameter clearing, expanding it to 100 feet. They also destroyed the other foliage. Then they cut all the felled trees the same exact size..

After they were done cutting up the trees, they took out the saws they had bought earlier. Using the saws, they cut notches into the ends of the felled trees. Next they stacked the felled trees on top of one another, creating rudimentary square log cabins. Then they cut more wood the same length as the cabins to make a roof.

The ground was only dirt and there was obvious gaps between the tree trunks. Next they used wood chips mixed with mud from the river that went through the clearing to fill the gaps. It was a crude solution but there wasn’t a better one for the time constraints they had.

With that, they had managed to build some roughshod houses for the kids. There was still some things they could do to make it better, making planks for a floor for one, but it was already getting dark. They had only accomplished this much in one day because of their cultivation. Everyone slept inside the cabins. The next day they left to head back to their camp.

Chapter 120
Proposal

While Lucas was finishing up with getting his new skin done, Chu Shen was able to start on the kids. The first kid was a boy that was eight years old. If he was any indicator on how this was going to go, Chu Shen was in for a rough ride.

The boy constantly asked questions even after Chu Shen had answered them. He could barely sit still for the one meridian that Chu Shen could open for him. He was only a Rank 2 mage since they were considered too immature to fully awaken their abilities.

Slowly Chu Shen worked his way down the line. That cheery and hyper kid was, unfortunately, an exception. Most of the other kids were gloomy and depressed. You could see their sadness as plain as day. Their seriousness helped Chu Shen go through all 81 kids in only five days.

After Chu Shen finished opening the kids meridians, he went to talk with the teachers. What they needed to decide now was the future of these kids. Chu Shen could make them strong but they weren’t soldiers. It was like giving a child a gun. Even if they could kill someone, they wouldn’t have the mental fortitude to do it on purpose.

Chu Shen decided to approach the teachers about this problem. “We can all agree that those sect’s won’t leave us alone. If they discover that Lucas and I tricked them, they would immediately set out to kill us.

“We need to take them out before they take us out. Also, I bet those kids want revenge for their friends, teachers, and loved ones that were killed. We need to face those sects sooner rather than later.”

The teachers all nodded. One of them spoke up first. “Allowing the kids to take revenge is a good idea. I would say that in four or five years their hearts will be hardened enough to kill.”

Chu Shen shook his head. “Well, I agree to that assessment. Unfortunately, we don’t have time. Due to some…. special circumstances, Lucas and I may leave at any time with no warning. It could be tomorrow or it could be in a year. There is no guaranteed time.”

All of the teachers showed shock upon hearing that. The one that had first spoke immediately cried out in protest. “What?! If you leave, how can we protect ourselves?! Please, don’t leave!” The others cried out in agreement. When Chu Shen mentioned leaving, they became aware of just how much they had come to depend upon this thirteen year old and his bodyguard.

Chu Shen shrugged helplessly. “Unfortunately this is something that I have no control over. I can’t stop nor delay it. You will all simply have to accept it for what it is.”

The teachers spent over half an hour trying to convince Chu Shen to stay but Chu Shen couldn’t tell them the reason why he had to leave. Of course, the reason was because of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. If it left, then so would Lucas and Chu Shen. They wouldn’t have a choice in the matter.

Eventually though they managed to accept this fact and moved onto the more pressing matter of the kids. One of the teachers looked at the others. “So, does anyone have viable options? We need to act quickly now since we don’t know how long our savior will be with us.”

A teacher at the end of the table stood up. “I think I have an idea. What if we……” He started explaining his idea but it was shot down pretty quickly. Other teachers introduced their ideas as well but every one of them seemed to be impossible or had some sort of major flaw.

Finally there was a teacher that had an idea that didn’t have any real noticeable flaws. “I know everyone hates the Asura Sect but no one can deny that they are very good at training warriors. I actually studied some of their training methods and I believe we can adapt it to ourselves.

“The Asura Sect would take their students and teach them how to cultivate and learn a couple abilities. After that they would be equipped with weapons and armor before being dropped off next to a magic beast hunting zone. There they were required to hunt down magical beasts each day for food.

“If they didn’t then they wouldn’t be fed at all. The students were trained there for a year before they would then be taken to dueling arenas. There the students would then fight and kill other members of the arena. If they survived there for another year, they were considered as members of the Asura Sect.”

The teachers faces turned ugly upon hearing that. Even Chu Shen was shocked at how ruthless the Asura Sect was to their students.

“How is this a suitable method for raising our students? We know how the Asura Sect turned out from the fact that they killed our sect down to the last man, woman, and child.” One of the teachers asked, clearly disturbed by what the other teacher was suggesting.

The one that proposed the idea shook his head. “I am not suggesting the arena part. That is just too cruel for young ones such as these. Instead, I suggest taking the kids to a magical beast hunting zone.

“There we can set up a temporary base like we have here and hunt down beasts for their training. Of course, we would be protecting them from the sidelines so that they won’t be killed by the beasts.
“With that they can get used to killing and gain experience fighting. We can also have training duels in the camp so they can become experienced with fighting against humans as well.

“However long it takes for them to gain a killing edge is how long it takes for them to become truly strong. Once we judge them to be of the right level, we can go forward with destroying the Golden Palm, Ice Dragon, and Asura Sect.”

The other teachers adopted a thoughtful look after hearing the entire proposition. “So will there be rewards for hunting more?” One of the teachers asked.

The one that proposed the idea shrugged. “I’m not sure. I figured we can all work out the details together. As far as I can tell though, this seems to be the only idea that can take less than a year.”

Everyone nodded. One of them turned to Chu Shen. “We have been kind of rude haven’t we? We haven’t even asked if the savior agrees with our proposition. Please savior, is there anything more you would like to add?”

Chu Shen shook his head. “No, I can’t think of anything really. I actually grew up in a small town that was attacked by magical beast hordes all the time. That was how I grew up being able to kill without thinking too deeply. Honestly, this sort of training method is the best one if we can assure everyone’s security.

“The best way to do that, in my opinion, is to choose a beast forest with low rank magical beasts. I think we should go to a forest with the average ranked beast at Rank 3. After everyone grows strong enough, we can move to a higher ranked forest.”

The other teachers liked that idea and immediately incorporated it into their plans. They spent another five hours going over the finer details such as the reward system, food, shelter, weapons, and other details.

It was also decided that they would need to scout out any forest before the students entered. After all, this was real life. Things changed all the time. It would be bad if all their promising students were wiped out because of a Rank 6 or Rank 7 beast moving into a Rank 3 hunting zone.

Because of that, Chu Shen, Lucas, and Su Gagi were chosen to scout out a Rank 3 magic beast hunting zone. They would return in a week with their report and then escort the kids to their new training camp. The reason Su Gagi was going along as well was because of the possibility of Chu Shen and Lucas disappearing. They chose Su Gagi simply because he was one of the only teachers they knew.

Chu Shen informed Lucas of their decision to scout the forest and their plans to train the kids. He didn’t like the idea of them killing beasts but decided it was okay so long as no one died. It had been decided that leaving as soon as possible was the best idea.

The next morning, they took the horses from the wagons and immediately set off to towards the magic beast hunting zone.

[Vol 5] Chapter 62: Lydia Bastich

[Vol 5] Chapter 62: Lydia Bastich

Over the past couple of years Baya had put a lot of effort into improving his martial prowess, and he had taken this to be an opportunity to show off to Willard how much he had improved. Before…



Over the past couple of years Baya had put a lot of effort into improving his martial prowess, and he had taken this to be an opportunity to show off to Willard how much he had improved. Before he started following Willard, he had been stuck on the 8th level of natural energy, but now he had improved to the very top limits of the 10th level of natural energy. All that was left for him was to find some inspiration to the elements that suited his nature to train in, then he would be able to break into the elemental energy level and start cultivating the element of his choice.

 

Baya quickly realized that using the movement technique the way he had just done only served to deplete his energy reserves. “How stupid of me,” Baya thought to himself.

 

“Brothers, although this man is commendable, he is sure to be running out of energy soon. Let’s persevere and kill him. Just imagine what treasures someone like him would be holding.” The man with the large blade said raising the morale of his fellow bandits. Baya had a disgruntled look on his face, as he thought of a possible solution to the problem.

 

“What am I doing. All I need to do is take down the head, and the rest of the body will fall.” Baya said as he realized his next course of action. It was pointless for him to expend a lot of energy fighting the foot soldiers. For him to truly come out victorious, he would have to truly damage their morale, if not, he would lose the battle of contrition.

 

Like a deranged dog, Baya charged towards the bandit with the large blade, who had a smile as he noticed Baya coming towards him. The bandit swung his large blade with all the strength he could muster. His plan was to overwhelm Baya with pure brute strength. He knew he wasn’t as fast or as nimble as Baya, so the obvious choice for him was to overpower him. As the blade came crashing down, a sense of great danger-filled Baya to his bones. He halted his currently straight motion moving to the right as he tried to dodge the attack. Baya could quickly tell that he would not be capable of blocking that attack and as such had to evade.

 

As Baya managed to evade the attack, the blade crashed down on the floor, destroying the area of impact. With that attack, Baya confirmed that the bandit he was currently facing was at least on the 10th level of natural energy. The bandit brutishly swung his blade to the left, continuing his attack in hopes of quickly killing Baya. Luckily enough for Baya, he had been expecting the continuous attack as he evaded them with everything he had.

 

Over at the edge of the forest where the young lady was currently standing, a look of surprise could be seen on the faces of the onlookers. The old man that had insisted on running away had a look of disbelief. Never in his wildest dream would he have expected the unassuming young man to be able to battle against the bandits. He turned to look at Willard who still was resting behind the tree. He looks carefully at Willard’s outfit, trying to figure out if he was some powerful young master that could hire such a powerful bodyguard.

 

“He must have hired him by luck. No wonder he is so carefree as to be sleeping in this situation.” The old man thought to himself. When suddenly an idea came to his mind, which in turn caused him to smile.

 

The young lady still had a worried expression as she watched Baya battle the bandits. For some strange reason, the more Baya was in danger the more worried she felt. And this wasn’t worrying for her own safety, it was for Baya’s safety. “I don’t even know your name. Please stay alive,” she said softly as she continued to watch.

 

Baya continued to evade the frenzied attack of the bandit with the large blade. He wasn’t the slightest bit negligent in doing that. Sometimes he used the movement technique and countered some attacks putting some pressure on his opponent. “If I had known I would encounter someone as fast and dangerous as this, I would have brought some lackeys with bows and arrows.” the bandit thought, swinging his blade furiously. “On top of that, the way he counters my attack are just too dangerous.”

 

“His attacks has constantly been weakening in power.” Baya thought as he noticed the amount of force coming from the bandit’s attack. “It’s now or never,” Baya said as he made up his mind. This time around, Baya charged straight at the bandit to meet his attack face on. As the blade came swinging down, Baya used his dagger to block his attack. A cracking sound was heard as the impact of the attack had broken some bones and dislocated Baya’s shoulder. The bandit with the large sword had a huge smile on his face. “What a fool. He actually tried to defend against my attack.”

 

Before the bandit could attack again, Baya swung the dagger in his left hand to the center of the bandits right hand that was currently gripping the large sword. A loud agonizing scream could be heard as bandit took a couple of steps backward staring in shock at the dagger that was firmly embedded in his palm. Before he could utter another sound, Baya had used the movement technique to get within an arm’s length of him. Using his left hand, Baya yanked the dagger from his hand and stabbed straight at the bandit’s neck. The entire thing was done in one swift motion, giving no time for any thought whatsoever. A look of regret could be seen in the bandit’s eyes as he uttered one word before he collapsed, “Brother.”

 

The rest of the bandits stared in shock as the leader of their party had just fallen. Never would they have thought such an outcome was possible. Ever since the majority of them had joined the bandit groups, their leaders had never fallen in battles and especially the man with the large blade. He was the third in command of the entire group. He was also the younger brother of the current leader of the bandit.

 

The rest of the bandit stared in horror and stood in place. They wanted to all run away, but the thought of their bandit leader made certain they stood in place. Baya was shocked that the rest of the bandits had not already taken to their heels. Cold sweat dropped from his face as he slowly walked backward. One brave bandit walked towards the corpse of the leader with the large blade and carried him over towards their group.

 

Baya was shocked as he noticed the bandits leave after they got the corpse. That action slightly surprised him, but he thought nothing of it. He walked back towards the camp and found a tree to rest on. He was currently in a lot of pain, but he knew all of it was of his own choosing. Even though, he still felt a little joy as he stared at the young lady who was at a loss for words.

 

Before the young lady could even get out of her shock, the old man rushed over to Baya’s side. “Noble sir. Thank you for your help.” the old man said with a slight bow. “Without you here, I am afraid these evil men would have killed all of us including my lady over there.” He said gesturing towards the young lady.

 

“For that alone, noble sir, our Lord will definitely handsomely reward.” The old man said nodding his head approvingly before he continued. “We are humble escorts of the young mistress of the Bastich household, taking her back to Oriente city. We could never have imagined we would be viciously attacked by those hooligans.”

 

“Sir can I ask what your noble name is?” the old man asked. Baya stared at the old man, thinking to himself. Although the old man had gone around in a backdoor way, he could instantly tell what the old man was trying to do. As a matter of fact, everyone including Willard knew what the old man was thinking. Baya turned to look at the young mistress of the Bastich household. She walked towards him and gave a slight bow. “Thank you for saving our lives.” She said with an honest expression. “My name is Lydia Bastich, and I would offer you a reward, but unfortunately I do not have anything valuable on me.”

 

Baya had a good impression of Lydia and decided to break his silence. “I am called Baya.” He responded before going back to tend to his injuries. The old man had a look of disdain on his face. Not only did Baya, whom he had flattered earlier, ignore him, he barely even responded to the young mistress. “If not of our current predicament, why would I reduce myself to even interacting with someone like you. Not to speak of Miss Lydia,” the old man thought as he hid every sign of contempt he felt. “Once we manage to get back to Oriente city, I would show you your place.”

 

When he was in Oriente city, the old man was in charge of running the main affairs of the Bastich household. While he held that post, he had interacted with numerous elemental energy martial artist, of which some had even tried to curry favor with him. And yet here he was practically on his knees begging someone who wasn’t even on that level. He knew Baya was not at the elemental energy level because of his previous fight. Not a scrap of elemental energy was used during that battle. But as it stood to him, Baya was definitely the strongest person around them.

 

The rest of the people all bowed and thanked Baya before finding a nearby place to rest for the rest of the night.

 

*****************

Over at some remote corner of the forest, a piercing scream could be heard. Nesting birds in the area were scared away, furiously flapping their wings as they left their nest. “How can this be? Darkar!” A bulky short man screamed as he grabbed the corpse that laid on the floor. Tears flowed from his eyes as he held the corpse. How could he have ever imagined that his beloved younger brother would die on that outing? Ever since they were young, the man had always been with his younger brother. Even after their parents had died when they were very young, they still had each other. But now, his beloved brother had died.

 

“I swear on my life to get vengeance for this!” The bulky short man said as he grabbed on to the lifeless palm of his younger brother. The entire bandit camp was quiet as no one dared to make a sound as their leader mourned the death of his younger brother.

 

****************

Later the next morning, everyone woke up early and started preparing to leave. The morning was a little foggy, but it was navigable. The old man had decided to stay with Baya and Willard since they were currently still heading north. Willard prepared his mount and got on it. He gestured to Baya suggesting they start heading out. Baya did the same and got on his mount with little struggle. The old man stared viciously at Willard almost as if he was about to just dive in and bite the life out of him. The old man could ignore the fact that Baya gotten on the mount, since he was already injured and was the strongest one amongst them, but he couldn’t stand Willard’s attitude.

 

He had read about and seen paintings of all the influential people in the southern continent, and he had never seen any image of this young man. To make matters worse, he also hadn’t seen any emblem belonging to any family whatsoever. Even medium sized families had emblems and prided themselves with it, but not even a scrap of nobility could be seen on Williard. His outfit was nothing special, his attitude was even worse. The old man was certain Willard was some random character that hired Baya with luck.

 

The old man was about to lose his temper and yell at Willard when the Lydia grabbed his hand and stared at him. “My lady, how can I endure such insult?” the man asked looking just as angry as before. “They saved our lives. Do not offend them.” She said turning to look at Baya.

 

As they prepared to head out, a loud sound came crashing at their surrounding. “Wait! Where do you think you are about to run off to?” The angry voice said as the surrounding fog gave way to a view of numerous bandits surrounding them. The old man stared in terror and had immediately started regretting staying with Baya. “How can this be?” the old man said. “We are finished!” he continued as he dropped to his knees.

 

“You killed my beloved younger brother and think you can escape?” the angry voice said again as a short bulky man walked towards them.

Chapter 54 – There Is Someone Above That Wants To Remove You



The three people walked for a little while and this time, they arrived at the alley where Xiao Chen had been previously ambushed! This road was a path going to the villa area. Although it couldn’t be said that it was a road that must be taken and could be detoured if using a car, it was the shortest road if one was walking.

Xiao Chen didn’t know why, but when he entered the alley, he suddenly felt burst of uneasiness! When he was walking this way the day before yesterday, Xiao Chen didn’t feel any particular feeling, so it definitely wasn’t a psychological shadow. There was only one conclusion left; there was danger!

There was definitely someone ambushing over here, moreover, the target seemed to be himself!

Last time, Xiao Chen had felt someone tailing and only then discovered the enemy. But this time, Xiao Chen had just entered the alley and immediately discovering the anomaly!

Evidently, Xiao Chen’s current Spiritual Knowledge perceptivity had been enhanced along with the enhancement of his strength.

“Tian Lao, have you detected it?” Xiao Chen asked in his subconscious.

“En, sensed, but the enemy’s strength isn’t too high. It is only slightly fiercer than the previous one!” Tian Lao’s voice faintly echoed in Xiao Chen’s mind.

“Eh……” Xiao Chen inherently believed that if Tian Lao saying that the enemy’s strength wasn’t too high, it meant that having a fight was possible with Xiao Chen’s current strength. However, the words Tian Lao said afterwards made Xiao Chen thoroughly speechless.

Slightly fiercer than the previous one? Then what was the rank of this expert?

“It should be a recently promoted Fourth Layer Inner Strength Martialist, only a bit stronger than the one you previously faced.” Tian Lao said: “But what you ran into is still something that should be run away from, so think up a method to run away.”

“It’s possible for me to run, but what about the two before my eyes?” Xiao Chen bitterly smiled. At present, Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei had already entered the alley. If he called for them, it would undoubtedly alert the enemy. Him running by himself was an issue, not to mention them!

But if he didn’t call for them to run, then wouldn’t the enemy take them hostage to compel him to submit, or possibly directly injure them? Although Xiao Chen didn’t think that there were people daring to touch Cheng Clan’s young lady, he still wasn’t clear on who the secret manipulator was at present. Granted that the opposite party did move his hand, then what if Cheng Clan wasn’t able to find the person?

Therefore, Xiao Chen didn’t dare take the gamble. The Young Lady hadn’t been unkind to him these past few days. Although she had a slight proud and lovable princess disease, she was the Young Lady, so Xiao Chen could understand.

What’s more, even if Xiao Chen ran, he wouldn’t necessarily be able to run away, Fourth Layer Inner Strength Martialist, even if just promoted to Fourth Layer, was still a honest-to-goodness four times of an ordinary person’s explosive power. It was feared that overtaking him would be no effort at all.

Just as he was thinking this, a black shadow appeared before them without even a warning sign and blocked their path!

“You……who are you?” Cheng Mengying was walking in the front, so when the black-clothed men appeared, it frightened her into jumping and subconsciously asking.

The black-clothed person actually didn’t pay attention to Cheng Mengying. Instead, he looked towards Xiao Chen, took out a photo out from his pocket and gave it a look, only then asking: “Are you Xiao Chen?”

“No.” Xiao Chen subconsciously replied.

“No?” That black-clothed person was obviously dazed for a moment. He looked at Xiao Chen once more, then looked at the photo again. Subsequently, he wrinkled his brows and abruptly said: “You want to deceive me? The person on this photo is obviously you! Do you think that I, Sha Dage, am easy to deceive?”

Xiao Chen didn’t expect that this black-clothed person would take his thoughtless words of defense so seriously. However, the black-clothed person’s following action also made Xiao Chen baffled.

This person……seems a bit stupid?

Moreover……this person is called ‘idiot’1? Apparently, it seems like he is a little stupid.

“Let me take a look?” Xiao Chen pretended to say in doubt and extended his hand.

Sha Dage watched Xiao Chen’s action and it didn’t appear to be fake, so he put out his hand and handed over the photo to Xiao Chen: “Take a good look. If this isn’t you, then who is it?”

Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei dodged to the side. The two people didn’t know this Sha Dage’s origins, but very tacitly didn’t open their mouths and speak. Rather they quietly watched on the changes because the two of them hadn’t made clear their current situation.

“Oh, so it turns out that you’re searching for my brother. This is my elder brother’s picture.” Xiao Chen looked at the photo and immediately replied.

“Your elder brother?” Sha Dage stared blankly at him.

“My twin brother.” Xiao Chen said with a nod.

“This is your elder brother? You aren’t Xiao Chen?” Sha Dage seemed like he didn’t believe Xiao Chen’s words one bit.

“Nope. If you don’t believe me, ask them.” Xiao Chen pointed at Jin Beibei and said. Believing in Jin Beibei, with this young- girl’s intelligence, he felt that she could definitely find a way of explaining.

“Yes oh, this one is Cheng Clan’s young lady Cheng Mengying. She is Xiao Chen’s previous fiancée. Xiao Chen had his engagement broken off by Cheng Clan, so how can he be together with us? Aren’t you also a Martialist? The matters of the Aristocratic Families level, you should have heard of, right? What do you think?” Jin Beibei said while pointing at Cheng Mengying.

“Oh, then since the elder brother had his engagement broken, he was replaced by his younger brother?” Sha Dage still had a little logical thinking. It was just that he had started cultivating since childhood and hadn’t come into contact with the world. Thus, his whole person seemed stupid and was given the nickname ‘Sha Dage(Idiot)’ by other people.

“Yes, you’re really intelligent.” Jin Beibei extended five fingers to praise him.

“Then where did your brother go?” Sha Dage nodded, believing it 70-80%, then turned his head to look at Xiao Chen and asked.

“My elder brother heard that someone was out to kill him, so he ran away.” Xiao Chen replied: “Why are you searching for him?”

“Of course, I am……” When Sha Dage spoke up to here, he suddenly vigilantly looked towards Xiao Chen: “You want to fish for my words?”

“Of course not. Since you’re looking for him, so I must at least make clear on whether you are a friend or enemy. Or else why would I tell you my brother’s whereabouts?” Xiao Chen began acting stupid and dazed. Speaking these kind of fool-like words required one to use a fool’s tone to perform.

“I heard that there were people looking for trouble with him, so I came to lend a hand. I am his friend.” Sha Dage said in a deadly earnest manner.

“Oh, so it’s like this……then let me think about the time before my brother left, so that I can think clearly about where he went……” Xiao Chen nodded with the appearance that he didn’t harbor doubts in the slightest.

“Right, think about it.” When Sha Dage heard these words from Xiao Chen, he promptly nodded and responded. The mission he had this time was exactly to kill Xiao Chen. This was his first mission to gain experience after he finished his apprenticeship, so he naturally wanted to fully complete it. Only then would he obtain his clan’s approval.

As Xiao Chen pretended to contemplate, he was secretly complaining of hardships in this heart. Tricking this Sha Dage for a while doesn’t mean I can trick him forever. If I wait until this idiot calls the Master behind him, then he would know that I’ve said a bunch of nonsense. At that time, I’ll die more tragically!

“Help me carry this for a while. These things are heavy and is disturbing my train of thought.” Xiao Chen temporarily couldn’t think of a solution, so he could only stall for time by doing random things.

“Okay!” What made Xiao Chen not know what to feel was that Sha Dage had unexpectedly nodded his head in agreement and reached out to take and carry the bags in Xiao Chen’s hands.

Xiao Chen was thinking of countermeasures as he was walking. This present enemy made him feel that it was a very thorny problem, causing him fear to move his hands and legs……

In a distant place, Lou Zhenming, Thin Monkey, Ma Gangchuan, and Lei Dianfeng, in addition to a crowd of hooligans, sat behind a hidden public restroom. They were still and unmoving, waiting for Cheng Mengying to walk by! According to the route that Lou Zhenming had calculated beforehand, there was a 99% chance that Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei would walk this way!

Because their car had broken down and they couldn’t call for a taxi, it was unlikely for them to take the longer route.However, this present road was the shortest route, moreover, this uninhabited alley was the best location for Ma Gangchuan to lead those hooligans to start!

“Huh? Brother Ming, isn’t that Xiao Chen?” Thin Monkey was using an infrared binocular to pay attention to the alley entrance. Seeing Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei both walk over, he also saw behind them, surprisingly, Xiao Chen and an unfamiliar man behind them.

“Xiao Chen? How come he came?” Lou Zhenming stared blankly. He also picked up a binoculars to take a look and saw that Xiao Chen really was there!

“I don’t know. I just saw him handing over two bags to the man on the side……” Thin Monkey replied.

“It can’t be that Jin Beibei, that demoness, felt that those books were too heavy, so she caught a young man at random, right?” Lou Zhenming said speculatively.

“That’s possible.” Thin Monkey nodded. After all, no matter how intelligent Thin Monkey was, it was impossible for him to guess Xiao Chen and Cheng Mengying’s relationship. In his opinion, the only possibility was the one Lou Zhenming had guessed: “Moreover, that huge statured person seems to be a migrant worker. Maybe Xiao Chen became too tired to hold, making her search for a migrant worker?”

In their opinion, Xiao Chen was in a completely different world than Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei. It was impossible for them to have any interactions.

“Who knows? It’s possible. Regardless of that huge statured guy, Xiao Chen……heihei, since you didn’t walk the path heaven gave and instead came into hell, I, your father, don’t need to look for an opportunity to find trouble with you because you sent yourself in. Let’s see if you’ll be able to escape becoming crippled this time!” A sinister smile flashed on Lou Zhenming’s face, then he said to Ma Gangchuan: “In a moment, bring the people to cut that kid to death! He’s the person who wounded your brother!”

“Understood!” Ma Gangchuan nodded.

On one hand he could become the hero saving the beauty, on the other, he could teach Xiao Chen a lesson; it really was killing two bird with one stone. Waiting for until Xiao Chen was beaten senseless, then appearing could scare Cheng Mengying.

Only, what made Lou Zhenming didn’t think of was that every word he uttered had been heard by Tian Lao, who was in Xiao Chen’s body! Although Xiao Chen was a Second Layer Qi-Training Truth Cultivator and his six senses were heightened, even if his hearing was promoted again, he still wouldn’t be able to hear due to the distance, not to mention how clear Tian Lao had heard.

“Little Chenzi, there’s someone who wants to take care of you in the front!” Tian Lao’s voice sounded right next to Xiao Chen’s ear.

“I know, what’s wrong?” Xiao Chen was confused for a moment, but immediately said: “Isn’t it this guy before us?”

“Heihei, it isn’t. It’s your old acquaintance!” As Tian Lao was speaking, he passed on the words that he had heard to Xiao Chen! Even though Tian Lao didn’t want to become a telephone receiver, he had no other choice. There was not one bit of benefit if Xiao Chen died, so he could only secretly mention it this once.



 


  1. TLN: Okay, so this person calls himself ‘Sha Dage’, which can mean ‘greatly stupid(literal)’ or just ‘idiot’. 

Chapter 53 – Brother-in-law, Hasn’t Been Heard By Anyone This Time



“Since you guys are treating, I can’t just do nothing. Although these drinks aren’t worth much money, it shows my regards.” It was evident that Deng Xiaokun was also poor and didn’t have much pocket money. As he was talking, he suddenly noticed that Tang Tang was looking over an exercise book and couldn’t help but be puzzled: “Tang Tang, what are you doing? This exercise book was just given out today; you didn’t just start it right?”

“It’s not me, it’s bookworm Xiao Chen! He’s already finished first year’s algebra exercise book.” Tang Tang didn’t know how she should explain. What words could she use to describe her current mood? Astonishment? Shock? Fury? Excited to death should be fine……

Xiao Chen had not only completed it, but his accuracy had unexpectedly reached 100%. At least in the five chapters of exercises that Tang Tang had already reviewed, she still hadn’t discovered an error; all of it was correct! If not for Tang Tang watching Xiao Chen write as if he were drawing, Tang Tang would have even thought that Xiao Chen had copied the answer booklet!

This was because Xiao Chen had omitted the procedure for many calculation topics and directly wrote the answers. But Xiao Chen obviously didn’t copy, so it was definitely the result of doing mental arithmetic.

“S̲h̲i̲t̲! You completed it?” Deng Xiaokun looked at Xiao Chen as if he were a monster: “As expected! This damn Second High is pretty hard to advance in. However, you don’t have money nor relations, so you definitely rely on genuine talent!”

Xiao Chen shrugged his shoulders, thinking in his heart ‘Nonsense. What genuine talent? Before today I didn’t even know anything, but now I’m a genuine talent?’ But Xiao Chen didn’t explain. This matter couldn’t be explained clearly to Deng Xiaokun.

Tang Tang was probably the person who knew most of his secrets, but Xiao Chen trusted Tang Tang very much. From beginning to end, he felt that Tang Tang was a very able-to-make-friends girl.

“Finally found a mistake, wahahahahaha!” Tang Tang suddenly cried out in happiness, seeming like she had discovered a new world. This made Deng Xiaokun and Xiao Chen a bit dumbfounded. What fuss was there to make about finding a mistake?

“Xiao Chen, you aren’t omnipotent; you can also make errors!” As Tang Tang was speaking, she proudly pointed at the question and answers that weren’t in harmony and said to Xiao Chen: “Do you need elder sister to explain to you?”

“Sure.” Xiao Chen felt that it was a bit odd. For these topics, even though he had done them quickly, they all went through two times of calculations in his mind before writing down. It was reasonable to say that there shouldn’t be any wrong, so Xiao Chen didn’t feel very ashamed to ask and learn.

“This problem should be like this……like this……then like this……en, then you get the answer……huh? How can it be wrong? And the same as your answer?” Tang Tang demonstrated the question to Xiao Chen once, but the result was obtaining the exact same answer as Xiao Chen, making Tang Tang baffled.

“This……I’ve also calculated the same answer. The answer key might be wrong.” Deng Xiaokun said.

“Pu……” Tang Tang immediately became dumbfounded: “Top student Xiao, I admire you.”

“Top student Xiao? This name……isn’t too good……” Xiao Chen said with a suffering face.

“Why?” Tang Tang felt that it was a bit strange.

“I recently read a web novel called 《School Beauty Personal Bodyguard》, which had a character called ‘Grandmaster Xiao’……who was oppressed……” Xiao Chen replied.

“……!#¥&()!” Tang Tang didn’t know what she should say. Xiao Chen was already like this, but still had time to read these entertainment web novels?

However, Tang Tang had finally experienced what was called ‘genius’ today. A ‘genius’ was better than top students and talents. After all the difference was in initial starting point, one was acquired through a great deal of work, one was innate; immediately above that starting point.

Deng Xiaokun didn’t know about Xiao Chen’s information, so even though he was astonished, it didn’t feel to weird to him. In his knowledge, if Xiao Chen wasn’t a top student, how would he be able to enter Second High?

When Cheng Mengying saw Xiao Chen, Tang Tang, and Deng Xiaokun all gorge themselves, she wasn’t happy in her heart. Don’t you know that this Young Lady is also very hungry?

“Beibei, let’s eat!” Cheng Mengying felt that she might as well eat the dishes she had packed for dinner at noon right now! Actually, the majority of the students would eat some biscuits or instant noodles just before evening classes. Very little would gorge themselves in a lunchbox like Xiao Chen.

“Ah? Cousin Mengying, isn’t this the food you left for your dinner?” Jin Beibei blankly stared.

“I’ve decided to eat it now and starve for dinner.” Cheng Mengying fiercely said.

“Oh……” Jin Beibei nodded and didn’t ask further. She immediately picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She was a foodie and said while eating: “Delicious, delicious!”

“……” As Cheng Mengying watched Jin Beibei gorge herself, she didn’t know why, but she didn’t have much appetite. It was as if the things in front of her weren’t as delicious as the instant noodles that Xiao Chen made.

In a blink of an eye, it became time for students to be dismissed. Xiao Chen carried a pile of review materials and left the classroom with Tang Tang and Deng Xiaokun. However, Lou Zhenming and Thin Monkey didn’t leave. Rather, they waited for after Cheng Mengying left, then the two people leisurely got up and left.

“Has it been settled?” Lou Zhenming glanced at Thin Monkey and asked.

“It’s been handled1. A practitioner has been found to join the factory workers. He is absolutely professional and there will definitely be nothing going wrong for a short while.” Thin Monkey said while nodding.

“Then let’s go, the opportunity to fully show off our capability has come.” The plan Lou Zhenming had this time had gone through perfect designing. Every step had been thought over multiple times, ensuring that carrying it out would be without err.

Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei a bag of review materials each and walked to Jin Beibei’s Beetle in the parking lot. As usual, Jin Beibei was about to start the car so that they could go home……yi? How come it won’t start?

Jin Beibei tried to start up the car several times but the car still didn’t start, making Jin Beibei have some doubts: “Cousin Mengying, the car seems broken.”

“Broken? How can it be broken? Does it not have gas?” Cheng Mengying was slightly confused. She didn’t expect the car to have a problem.

“It can’t be, I filled it up with gas to the brim just yesterday!” Jin Beibei also puzzledly looked at her own car.

“Then could it be that the battery has no electricity?” Cheng Mengying knew a bit of knowledge on cars, but it was the simplest knowledge.

“No, the car still has electricity. Look, the radio can still be turned on……” As Jin Beibei was speaking, she turned on the radio.

“Forget it, let’s call a taxi home.” Cheng Mengying could only say, as she also didn’t have any solutions.

“We can only do this. It’s too late today, tomorrow I’ll call a 4S store to come and tow.” Jin Beibei nodded and got out of the car with Cheng Mengying.

Although these two were practitioners of inner strength from childhood, they were still girls in the end. As each person carried a bag of review materials, both felt that it was a bit heavy. Fortunately, it wasn’t far from the school gates.

But when the two people arrived at the school gates, they looked on foolishly at the same time! Where was there a taxi? At the school gates, the stopped cars were all guardians who were picking up their child. There was simply no place for a taxi to stop!

Last time when Cheng Mengying and Xiao Chen caught a taxi to ride, it was because Xiao Chen and Ma Gangmen had fought one round, thus missing the dismissal rush hour. But now, if they wanted to call for a taxi, they could only walk a kilometer and avoid these cars picking up students. They had to go to the intersection and call for a taxi, otherwise, taxis would rarely come over.

“Let’s walk?” Cheng Mengying had no other choice. Who asked them to be out of luck and unfortunately meet a broken down car?

“So heavy……won’t this tire me to death?” Jin Beibei lowered her head and looked at her books, then looked at her own chest: “My chest is really heavy and the books are heavier, I can’t go on……”

“Who let you develop such a large chest?” Cheng Mengying wasn’t happy when she heard these words: “Then how will you deal with it?”

“Yi? Brother-in-law?” Jin Beibei, who had keen eyes, suddenly beckoned in a direction and loudly called out.

Xiao Chen, Tang Tang, and Deng Xioakun had just split up at the school gates. Just as Xiao Chen prepared to go home, he suddenly heard a familiar voice call out “brother-in-law”. Wasn’t that Jin Beibei? Xiao Chen was currently a flamboyant Truth Cultivator; his six senses were incomparably acute and all of the sudden caught hold of Jin Beibei’s voice.

“Beibei, what nonsense are you yelling? What will you do if other people hear?” Cheng Mengying was a bit angry and ashamed, putting out a hand to cover Jin Beibei’s mouth.

Fortunately, the school gates were still very noisy from dismissal hour. There was laughing and scolding voices, voices of guardians calling for their child. Everything in disarray and nobody took note of what Jin Beibei yelled out. If not for Xiao Chen being sensitive, it was reckoned that if he were changed to an ordinary person, he would be unable to hear it!

Xiao Chen quickly walked over. Seeing that the Young Lady and Jin Beibei with a bag each, he asked somewhat puzzled: “What’s wrong? What are you doing over here? Not driving the car to go home?”

“The car broke down! Help us carry this back!” Cheng Mengying had been mad at Xiao Chen for a day today. Seeing that he had come over, she impolitely handed the book bag2 in her hand over to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen smiled and immediately received it. Wasn’t a male servant supposed to do this? Lifting bags was something Xiao Chen was very good at.

“Brother-in-law, thanks!” Jin Beibei also handed over the book bag in her hand to Xiao Chen and smiled thievishly3, speaking in a low voice.

“Beibei!” Cheng Mengying was annoyed to the point of kicking Jin Beibei.

However, Jin Beibei quickly avoided it and said very aggrieved: “Cousin Mengying, this time Beibei call out in quietly and stealthily. It hasn’t been heard by others……”

“……” Cheng Mengying didn’t expect Jin Beibei to go as far as twisting her words and forcing her4 own logic. But it appeared that she had just questioned “what will you do if other people hear”. Now that Jin Beibei said that other people couldn’t hear, what could she do? She could only suffer unspoken grievances and after ‘hmph’-ing, she walked ahead.

Jin Beibei ‘hee hee’ laughed and chased after her. Xiao Chen followed closely in the rear as he carried two bags filled with books.

The three people walked together to the intersection, but discovered that the intersection didn’t even harbor taxis! After waiting ten minutes, they still hadn’t seen a taxi. Cheng Mengying’s legs started feeling numb, Jin Beibei’s chest wanted to sag down. As a result of the two girls talking it over, they continued waiting! This continued waiting wasn’t a solution though!

Actually, the taxis that would pass through this place had all been blocked from doing so by the coolies that Lou Zhenming had found and forced them to make a detour! Even though the taxi drivers were demanded to take a detour, they couldn’t make heads or tails of it. However, who would want to argue with a crowd of clearly not good people that had daggers and clubs on their belt?

There simply wasn’t enough time to run when encountering these people! Taxi drivers were people who went out to do business and held a money-seeking mentality, so who would be willing to offend these people? At that time, not only would their car be smashed, but they also might be smashed! The gains wouldn’t make up for the losses.

This was the reason why Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei hadn’t seen a taxi pass by after waiting some time.

Chapter 154 – Triumph Return

Chapter 154 - Triumph Return

When the car arrived in front of my family’s mansion, my parents already saw my car from the surveillance camera. So, they call walked out to greet me as if I was a hero making a triumph return.…



When the car arrived in front of my family’s mansion, my parents already saw my car from the surveillance camera. So, they call walked out to greet me as if I was a hero making a triumph return.

Little Beauty Xia, who I thought about day and night, stood beside them.

Xia Jing clearly blanked out for a bit when she saw me, while her eyes turned red. Just as I wanted to ask, Xia Jing’s expression turned into a look of surprise as she ran over and jumped onto me like a koala. She said excitedly, “Dagege, I finally see you again!”

I felt a bit awkward hugging Xia Jing in front of my parents. However, seeing my parents supportive gaze, I didn’t care. I reached out to hold Xia Jing’s a̲s̲s̲ so she can relax a bit. Otherwise, her arms would be really tired as she hangs onto me.

“Hehe, you didn’t tell Dagege when you came back to find me. You even caused me to embarrass myself at the wedding!” I smiled.

“I just wanted to give you a surprise! Who would have thought that you would care about me so much… But I’m very happy, you were so cool on the wedding…” Xia Jing said slowly as she leaned on my shoulders.

“Wasn’t I just afraid of you being stolen by Lei Xiaolong!” I patted Xia Jing’s butt.

“Aiya, Dagege, you’re so mean. You actually hit my butt!” Xia Jing said in a spoiled manner.

It’s been three years. Aside from the foreignness when Xia Jing and I just saw each other, we immediately acted like a couple without a hint of foreignness, as if we’re back to three years ago.

“Of course I have to hit you, you directly left for three years. Do you know how much Dagege missed you!” I couldn’t help but be a bit embarrassed when I said it! To be honest, I didn’t really think of her too much these three years.

“Xia Jing knows… Xia Jing have also been missing Dagege, Xia Jing has been thinking about Dagege every day. If Dagege doesn’t believe it, then take a look at the diary Xia Jing brought. Every day is filled with stuff about Dagege…” Xia Jing said shyly.

“I believe, I believe!” I said. “Alright, let’s talk back in the room. Wen’t just say in front of the door!”

“Ah! Ganba and ganma are still watching us! Aiya, it’s so embarrassing!” Xia Jing quickly jumped down from my body.

My parents didn’t say anything. They merely watched as with a smile. Actually, I understood very well in my heart. My mom had treated Xia Jing as her future daughter-in-law! She was the one my mom liked the most out of my girlfriends. Perhaps it’s because she came first that my mom’s favor towards Xia Jing even surpassed that of hers towards Zhao Yanyan.

My mom quickly went to wash some fruits when we got back to the living room, while my dad also said that he would go to the kitchen to wash the fish in preparation for a few good dishes at night. Thus, they left the space to Xia Jing and I.

Although we seemed to have countless things to want to say to each other when we just met. When we truly sat down, we didn’t know where to begin.

Xia Jing and I sat in the living room as we looked at each other.

“Xia Jing, where have you been these years?” I casually find a topic and broke the awkward silence between us.

On the other hand, Xia Jing’s speakers seemed to have turned on as she continuously told me about what had happened in the past few years.

So, Xia Jing went to school normally after she got back. However, Xia Jing’s father’s surveillance of her got even tighter. As expected of someone working for safety, there were no weakness in his “care” for Xia Jing, so Xia Jing had no chance to act by herself.

As for my side, since we moved and changed phone numbers, Xia Jing was unable to contact me.

After casually chatting for quite a while, Xia Jing and I no longer had the foreignness we had at the start. When my mom finished washing the fruits, she also joined us.

Xia Jing had come this time to give me a surprise, but she didn’t think that I would have already moved. So, she went to the original place. It was fortunate that our family didn’t sell the original apartment after we moved, and most of the people living there were workers at my dad’s electronics factory, so when they saw Xia Jing come back me, they warmheartedly helped her contacted my dad. Hearing that Xia Jing came, my dad immediately drove to pick her up.

Xia Jing checked out my family’s house, then asked hesitantly, “Dagege, your family seems richer than before…”

“Mhmm, didn’t you tell me to work hard after you left! That’s why I listened to you and worked hard to earn money!” I nodded.

“But… This seems to be because ganba became a factory owner. What does that have to do with you?” Xia Jing asked weirdly. “Also, even though your family is rich now, you couldn’t possibly do something so huge in the US…”

“Hehe, yeah, what you see if only on the surface. My dad likes to save up. He’s been driving that Jetta for three years and is reluctant to throw it away. Hehe! But that electronics factory is my dad’s business. It’s not mine. My company is so much more famous than my dad’s factory!” I smiled.

“Ah! Dagege is exaggerating. Ganba’s factory is a subsidiary company of Shuguang Corporation. How could your company be more famous!” Xia Jing blinked in disbelief.

“Of course, which company is more famous than Shuguang!” I continued with what Xia Jing said.

“Yeah! There’s also an East Asia Motion Company that’s rising, but it’s still a distance away from Shuguang!” Xia Jing said.

“That’s why, what would your Dagege’s company be if it’s even more famous than your ganba’s factory?” I asked with a smile

“Mm… Ah! It can’t be… How is that possible!” Xia Jing didn’t quite believe her guess.

“What’s not impossible? How is it impossible if you don’t say it?” My mom interrupted.

“Ganma… You’re saying that, Shuguang is Dagege’s…?” Xia Jing didn’t even believe what she was saying.

Xia Jing looked at my mother in disbelief. My mother looked at me, while I nodded to Xia Jing, “That’s right. Xia Jing, do you remember me always writing on paper when you were in my home?”

Xia Jing nodded to indicate that she still remember.

“I designed some electronics products then, then sold it to foreign companies, earning my first bucket of gold. Then I established Shuguang Corporation with Zhao Yanyan’s father. It’s just that I’m still a student and have my own things to do, so I hid in the back and didn’t announce my identity to the public,” I explained.

“Ah! Really!” Xia Jing looked at me in disbelief,” Dagege… You’re actually so amazing now… Was it all for Xia Jing…”

Xia Jing was a bit worked up and moved as she choked, she thought that I did all this for her, so how could she not be moved.

However, I felt a bit guilty. I already started thinking about earning money before knowing Xia Jing, but I wasn’t dumb enough to deny it.

Chapter 153 – Xu Er

Chapter 153 - Xu Er

I found out that Xu Er was a vet. He was a driver when he was in the army. After leaving the army, he wasn’t able to find a job. In this era, even the drivers were the…



I found out that Xu Er was a vet. He was a driver when he was in the army. After leaving the army, he wasn’t able to find a job. In this era, even the drivers were the relatives of the management within the company. Since Xu Er didn’t have any contacts, he could only start working at a construction site.

The workers at the construction site were all young lads, and often in heat, so they would get a few prostitutes to deal with their lust when they get a bit of money. At the start, Xu Er was a bit held back, but then, he was unable to resist his co-worker’s nagging, and went to a nightclub with them.

Don’t think that workers are poor and couldn’t afford to go to clubs. That’s discrimination! The amount construction workers earn after a month of hard work is no less than those who sit in offices!

Since Xu Er was a virgin, the ma’am of the nightclub made an exception and called the star of the club, Yang Xin! However, Xu Er was an infatuated person. He was actually unable to forget that Yang Xin, and would go find her whenever he got a bit of money!

What was even more weird was that Yang Xin was actually moved by Xu Er and fell in love with him!

However, Yang Xin owed the nightclub five hundred thousand yuan when she borrowed money to treat her father! Although Yang Xin was able to pay back most of it, she still owed them two hundred something thousand!

The two of them thought about it, then decided to elope. However, they were caught by the people the nightclub owner sent before the two got to the train station.

The nightclub owner had pointed to Yang Xin in rage, “You ungrateful b̲i̲t̲c̲h̲! Laozi didn’t treat you badly. When your dad was sick, I immediately took out five hundred thousand. Now you’re selling your body at my place to repay the doubt, I didn’t ask for any interest. Now that you’re the star, you think you’re amazing? You want to just leave like that?”

Yang Xin trembled in fear. She knew the owner’s ability! The owners of nightclubs would have a bit of relationship to the underworld, they were definitely merciless people!

However, Xu Er was a soldier before, a calf wasn’t afraid of a tiger. He said strongly to the nightclub owner, “Yang Xin and I truly love each other. We promise to return the money in the future!”

The owner immediately got angry upon hearing that, and scolded Xu Er, “You’re just a worker, how are you going to get the money to pay me back! What’s more, laozi got her to be a prostitute here is for the business of my nightclub! Otherwise, why would I have lent her money!”

With that, he told his subordinates to beat Xu Er up. Meanwhile, Yang Xin continuously begged and the owner only told the people to stop after Yang Xin agreed to continue working there.

Coincidentally, Ding Baosan was really tired that day, since he was a bit troubling for an underworld boss like him to manage his company. In order to relieve his stress, he went to this club by himself to drink a few glass. The reason he didn’t go to our place was because our people were there. He would have to meet them if he went there, so he wouldn’t be able to relax.

Ding Baosan was someone who had learnt a lot from Guo Qing. Although he was someone of the underworld, he never does anything that would harm the country or the people, and he also detested forcing good women to be prostitutes.

Since he saw the nightclub owner teaching Yang Xin and Xu Er, he instantly got angry and walked over to the owner, “Let the two of them go.”

When the owner’s subordinates saw that Ding Baosan walked over by himself and spoke so cockily, he instantly got angry, “Who the f̲u̲c̲k̲ are you! You dare to mind our business!”

The owner was a bit closer to Ding Baosan. So he nearly shocked himself to death when he got a clear look of Ding Baosan!

Ding Baosan was in charge of Songjiang’s underworld after Guo Qing left. Which nightclub owner didn’t know Ding Baosan! Although Ding Baosan was by himself, the owner didn’t dare to act carelessly.

He immediately slapped his lackey and said angrily, “F̲u̲c̲k̲, how could you not know Lord San!’ Then he said flatteringly to Ding Baosan, “Lord San, how did you find time to visit our shop? You truly bring owner to this small shop!”

“What’s going on?” Ding Baosan pointed to the couple on the floor and asked.

That owner also knew about the rule the Three Rock Gang had set for nightclubs, which was the fact that they couldn’t force women to become prostitutes, and all prostitutes had to be willing. Thus, he quickly explained everything.

Ding Baosan understood that this Yang Xin did it willingly. There was nothing wrong with selling her body to repay a debt. However, Ding Baosan felt that this Xu Er had quite a personality, so he suggested to help Yang Xin repay her debt.

The owner didn’t care about the two hundred something thousand. If he offended Ding Baosan, then he didn’t need to think about running his nightclub anymore. So, when Ding Baosan suggested it, the owner immediately said that it wasn’t needed.

Ding Baosan didn’t say too much, since he saw that the owner was kind of smart, he accepted the favor.

Yang Xin thought that her and Xu Er were over. However, the person in front of her dealt with the issue with a few words, so she quickly pulled Xu Er over to thank him and her boss.

The owner felt rather pained to let go of the star, Yang Xin. However, he wouldn’t just be pained if he lost the nightclub due to this, thus he generously told someone to bring the agreement Yang Xin signed over and ripped it publicly.

Since Ding Baosan saw that Xu Er knew how to drive, he told Xu Er to become a driver at the Three Rock Corporation. Since the salary of a driver at Three Rock Corporation was doubled that of the salary as a construction worker, Xu Er was completely thankful towards his boss.

Meanwhile, Yang Xin quit her job and went to the Three Rock Corporation to become an office assistant. The couple did managed to earn as much as a white-collar together. They recently just borrowed some money from the bank to buy an apartment at an internal price. When they get the apartment the following year, they were going to get married.

As for Xu Er’s older brother, he was very unlucky. He jumped into a river to save a drowning child. He was able to save the child, but Xu Da had drowned himself. What was most infuriating was that the family of the child just directly left with the kid and was never seen again. Although the government had awarded Xu Da the title of being a Samaritan, but he already died, so what use was the title.

On the other hand, Xu Er’s little sister studied in university elsewhere. They were originally very poor, and needed to borrow money left and right in order to pay for her school fees, but now that Xu Er got this job, not only could he pay for his little sister’s school fees, he was able to give his little sister a lot of money per month as well.

With that, Xu Er couldn’t help but smile happily. He was truly thankful to this boss. However, he could never understand why that nightclub owner would give Director Ding so much face! He didn’t think too much about it afterwards either, and merely thought that Director Ding was an important person.

It seems like Xu Er did not know that Ding Baosan was of the underworld before.

While we were chatting, I got a pretty good impression of Xu Er. Since I needed a driver while I’m in Songjiang, I wanted him to drive temporarily for me.

Recently, since I had Du Xiaowei as my driver, I got used to the feeling of being a boss. That was why I felt rather weird to drive myself.

Thus, I told Xu Er about it. Xu Er didn’t mind either, since Ding Baosan already told him beforehand to listen to my instructions.

Chapter 152 - The Lei family's attitude

“Songjiang! Oh yeah, I remember! That’s right, it’s definitely him! I would have never thought about it. An insignificant person back then became so powerful!” Uncle Bin suddenly understood. “I was wondering why he’s so familiar. Xiaolong, the Boss Liu in the casinos the other night was him!”

“Boss Liu is that little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲? How’s that possible?” Lei Xiaolong asked.

“What little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲! You’re a f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲. Never underestimate your enemies! What have I taught you! You can look down on your enemies, but do not underestimate them! Little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲? Now he’s a big boss, and an amazing person. You can say that he’s sinister, deadly, but if you underestimate him, you’ll always lose!” Lei Fubo said to his son.

“Oh!” Lei Xiaolong ignored his father. “Oh yeah, I remember, that person seems to be called Liu Lei! His surname was indeed Liu!”

“Then there’s no mistake!” Uncle Bin nodded. “That’s him, he’s the guy! Ai! I really should have been merciless and turned him into a disabled person!”

“Alright, no need to say any words of regret! The most important thing right now is how to deal with it!” Since Lei Fubo was an outstanding member of the Lei family, he was able to calmly face a situation.

“Alright, Mr. Lei, I’ll listen to you,” said Uncle Bin.

“A Bin, get some private detective friends to investigate the background of this Liu Lei! It should be as detailed as possible!” said Lei Fubo. “Don’t leave out any detail.”

“I understand, Mr. Lei. I’ll go and do it right now!” said Uncle Bin.

Uncle Bin used all investigating powers he could use and actually got the majority of my background.

Liu Lei. Male. 18 years old. From Songjing city. His father works as the General Manager and Factory Manager of Songjiang City Shuguang Electronics Factory. His mother is the accountant within the factory. Their living conditions are superb.

He currently has five girlfriends. His grades are superb.

His vehicles are: Jetta, Mercedes s600, Land Rover, extra-long Bentley Red Label. The current one is Santana 2000.

His car plate numbers in Songjiang city are: Xin a00077, Xin a88888. The Santana 2000 uses a normal car plate number.

His best friend in high school was Guo Qing, who is the leader of the Three Rock Gang, the current largest gang in Asia. Liu Lei is the Board Chairman of Three Rock Corporation in name.

Although there wasn’t a lot of information, it was already enough to shock Lei Fubo.

The car wasn’t much, since they could be bought with money!

The main thing was the identity as Guo Qing’s best friend! If they were just friends, it didn’t matter much. The main thing is that they seem to be very close friends.

The fact that Liu Lei was named as the Board Chairman of the Three Rock Corporation was enough to show their friendship.

From the looks of it, Liu Lei might have used Guo Qing’s power to do this wedding robbery!

If it really was like that… Although the Lei family could be said as one of the Six Renowned Families with a long history, it could not be matched with the mothership-type of gang!

“A Bin, what do you think?” Lei Fubo looked at the information in his hand and asked.

“Err… Mr. Lei, forgive my bluntness. If he is really related to Guo Qing, then we can’t match him,” said Uncle Bin.

“So what if they’re a gang! The Situ family that is in a good relationship with us runs mobsters as well. I think that we should get them to help and kill them!” Lei Xiaolong suggested.

“Suggesting this sort of s̲h̲i̲t̲ idea again! Why should they help you!” Lei Fubo was already ver annoyed with his son. He wasn’t good for anything except screwing stuff up!

“I-I’m saying it for our family’s face! If we just admit defeat like this, how will the other renowned families look at us!” Lei Xiaologn said in a troubled manner,

“How would others think! Do you want to lose our entire Lei family due to how others look at us!” Lei Fubo said angrily.

“Mr. Lei, how about this. We can send someone to get into contact with this Liu Lei and see how he reacts, then decide,” said Uncle Bin. “Of course, we can threaten him appropriately when we are negotiating and see his reaction. If he stands strong, then we’ll submit. If he appears weak, then we’ll talk about it later!”

“Alright, that’s all we can do now,” Lei Fubo nodded, then said to Lei Xiaolong. “You f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g stay proper in recent times!”

“Understood, dad!” Lei Xiaolong nodded obediently.

But would he really listen?

After Lei Xiaolong left his father’s office. He found a place without anyone else, to take out his phone and dialed his best s̲h̲i̲t̲t̲y friend’s number…

Songjiang City. Back in the Songjiang City that I left for a long time.

The current Songjiang city was already completely different to three years prior. Emotions overwhelmed me as I looked at the city where my dreams begun.

Reborn, establishing Shuguang Corporation caused me to feel like I was in a dream.

Ding Baosan sent a car to pick me up at the airport. Originally, he wanted to come in person and get a whole squad of cars with thirty to fifty cars, but I completely rejected him. Isn’t that just going to negatively influence me! I have to face everyone with my real identity sooner or later. If the media sees that, they would think that I started off working in the Underworld!

“You’re Director Liu, right? Director Ding told me to come pick you up,” A twenty something years old lad quickly jumped out of the driver’s seat and helped me open the door when he saw me walk towards the black Mercedes.

I nodded with a smile, “Yes, I’ll be troubling you.”

Hearing me say that, the lad was rather surprised and honored. So he quickly said, “It’s nothing, nothing!” Then he took over my luggage and put it in the trunk.

As the car drove on the highway, the lad showed that he was rather familiar at driving, so it was clear that he was an experienced driver.

“What’s your name?” I asked casually.

“Ah! Director Liu, I’m called Xu Er… Other people all call me Er-zi,” the lad replied.

“Xu Er?!” I was a bit confused, why would anyone be called this!

“Ugh… It’s like this. My family has three children. I’m the second child. My parents aren’t very educated when I was born, so they gave me such a name. My little sister’s name is much better, my older brother named her,” said Xu Er.

“Hehe, so it’s like this. Then isn’t your older brother called Xu Da?” I asked with a smile.

“Yeah, but… Big bro passed away…” Xu Er said a bit depressingly.

“Sorry for mentioning depressing things,” I said awkwardly.

“No worries, I’m already used to it!” Xu Er replied plainly.

I didn’t want to continue on his heavy topic, so I said, “We work at Three Rock Corporation?”

“Yeah, I was lucky that Director Ding chose me and got me to drive at the company…” Xu Er said thankfully. “If it wasn’t for Director Ding, then I might have been beaten into a disabled person already!”

“What happened?” I asked curiously.

“Hai! It’s nothing nice, but I can say it if Director Liu wants to listen…” Xu Er started to speak.

Chapter 151 – Wait for you to come back

Chapter 151 - Wait for you to come back

“Mm, Dagege, hurry back, I’m waiting for you at dad and mom’s…!” said Xia Jing. Waiting for me at dad and mom’s. Ha! This sounds just like my little wifey… “Okay, Dagege will hurry back. Hehe, Dagege waited…



“Mm, Dagege, hurry back, I’m waiting for you at dad and mom’s…!” said Xia Jing.

Waiting for me at dad and mom’s. Ha! This sounds just like my little wifey…

“Okay, Dagege will hurry back. Hehe, Dagege waited for you for three years!” I chuckled. I believe that Xia Jing will understand what I mean by three years.

“Aiya! Dagege… What are you saying… I’m not coming…” Xia Jing said in embarassment.

“Crap… It’s on speaker here…” Xia Jing suddenly exclaimed.

“Damn brat! What are you saying! What is your brain thinking all the time! You’re as disgusting as your dad! See how I deal with you when you get back…” it was my mom’s voice. I quickly hung up, otherwise, I’d be in for a treat!

As I expected, David did the coverup work very well. Even the reporters on scene thought that a tv show was being shot.

After the incident, David also took the guns out for the police to check. The results showed that there were merely props that could not be used, so the incident merely got labeled as a misunderstanding.

The American people didn’t treat it seriously at all, they just thought of it as a fiesta that was gossip material. Of course, only a few people knew the truth…

The Xia family was not willing to pursue the incident due to their daughter running from the wedding; while the Lei family didn’t want to lose anymore face than what they had already lost… So the entire incident just ended like that.

“What, why didn’t you say so earlier!” Lei Fubo sat in the chairman office of Lei’s Corporation and roared as he pointed to his son, Lei Xiaolong, who was standing in front of him.

“Dad… I thought those people were just kidding…” Lei Xiaolong said in a troubled manner.

“Just kidding? Tell me in detail what those people were and what happened! Never mind! No need for you to say it! A Bin, tell me the situation at the time!” Lei Fubo waved his hand and said to Uncle Bin, who stood on the side.

“Okay, Mr. Lei. The other day at the casino, the person in the lead was a young man calling himself Boss Liu. He was about the same age as Young Master, but his tone, expressions and actions were very mature, and not like Young Master who…” Uncle Bin wanted to say frivolous, but decided to correct himself. “Not like someone of Young Master’s age! This person looked very familiar, as if I’ve seen him somewhere before, but I really can’t recall it. Perhaps it was a few years ago. But no matter. What’s important was that his subordinate is really amazing. He actually suppressed me in a move, and I had no way of fighting back… It still scares me a bit when I think back to it. It wasn’t just a small difference! His ability could be described as insane… And I already felt pressured just from the atmosphere…”

“So amazing? A Bin, your martial ability is one of the best in our generation. Back then, my old man treated you as his closed door disciple!”

“That’s right! Mr. Lei, to say something disrespectful, even my shifu, which is Old Master, might not be able to match up to him!” Uncle Bin shook his head.

“What! Even father can’t match up to him!’ Lei Fubo was shocked. “It seems like the person Xialong offended is truly powerful!” Lei Fubo was a bit worried.

“Yeah, they claimed to be a mercenary company from South Africa. If we really get a grudge with them, the trouble would be endless…” Uncle Bin spoke out his worries.

“Dad, so what if they’re mercenaries! Is our Lei family scared of them! All of the guests that came today were at the very top of society. This proves how much face and power you have, father. You can just ally with them when it happens. If it really doesn’t work, then petition for the world police to eradicate these people!” Lei Xiaologn said like he didn’t care at all.

“My face? My power? B̲u̲l̲l̲s̲h̲i̲t̲! They came to make fun of us!” Lei Fubo looked at his disappointing son angrily. How did such a useless thing come from the Lei family!

“World police? Are you a f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g r̲e̲t̲a̲r̲d̲!” Lei Fubo couldn’t help but swear. “Why would the world police help us eradicate them? Are they terrorists or what? What use is eradicating them for the US? You have to use your brain when you speak! Don’t give some retarded suggestions!”

“Mr. Lei, don’t scold Young Master for now. Since it happened, we have to think of a way to deal with it. Just scolding Young Master is not going to help the issue!” Although Uncle Bin was angry at Lei Xiaolong for being a disappointment as well, since he watched Lei Xiaolong grow up, he did care about him a lot…

“I let the anger get to my head. Uncle Bin, what do you think their purpose is? Would they come to trouble Xiaolong in the future?” asked Lei Fubo.

“Mr. Lei, I started thinking about this since I came back that night. I didn’t feel like anything was wrong back then, but now that I think about it, they planned it very carefully and it was very dangerous for us the enter time!” said Uncle Bin.

“How so?” asked Lei Fubo.

“Mr. Lei, now that I think about it, those people might have set a trap for Young Master, baited him in and forced him to sign that agreement…” Uncle Bin paused, then continued. “And their final purpose —— if they really were responsible for what happened today, then I can be a hundred percent certain that their purpose is Xia Jing!”

“Xia Jing?!” Lei Fubo exclaimed. “So these people did it for Xia Jing as well!” Lei Fubo thought about it carefully, and found that it was the case. These people didn’t just come to destroy the wedding, the target of the person in the lead was Xia Jing!

“Dad, you have to snatch Xia Jing back for me! I like her too much, don’t cancel the engagement with the Xia family!” Lei Xiaolong interrupted.

“F̲u̲c̲k̲ your mom! Why did your mom give birth to a jerk like you!” Lei Fubo slammed the table in rage.

Lei Xiaolong didn’t care and though, if you didn’t f̲u̲c̲k̲ my mom, where did I come from!

“Xia Jing! You still dare to mention her? Do you have a brain? Those people came for Xia Jing! You better not bring this sort of woman home, I don’t want the family to get destroyed!” Lei Fubo said impatiently.

Lei Xiaolong didn’t dare to say anymore, he didn’t want to get scolded even more.

“Xiaolong, think about it. Is there normally any pursuers around Xia Jing? Like your love rival or something?” Uncle Bin thought of an important problem.

“There doesn’t seem to be any. Everyone around her knows that she’s my fiancé, and they don’t dare to do anything in fear of our family’s power!” Lei Xiaolong shook his head.

“That’s weird, could they have any other purpose? Perhaps I guess it wrong?” Uncle Bin also shook his head.

“Oh yeah, Uncle Bin! Speaking of rivals in love and enemies, do you remember Xia Jing running away to Songjiang city and lived in a little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲s̲’ home? When Xia Jing left, she was reluctant to part with that little b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲!” Lei Xiaolong suddenly said.

Chapter 151 – Wait for you to come back

“Mm, Dagege, hurry back, I’m waiting for you at dad and mom’s…!” said Xia Jing. Waiting for me at dad and mom’s. Ha! This sounds just like my little wifey… “Okay, Dagege will hurry back. Hehe, Dagege waited…

Chapter 150 - Complex Situation

“Tell me, then I’ll leave,” I said. “I don’t know, I don’t know anything,” Xia Jing shook her head. I let go of Xia Jing’s hand. The reason I was so certain was because there was a faint…



“Tell me, then I’ll leave,” I said.

“I don’t know, I don’t know anything,” Xia Jing shook her head.

I let go of Xia Jing’s hand. The reason I was so certain was because there was a faint mark on this Xia Jing’s neck. If I didn’t look carefully, I wouldn’t be able to tell at all.

If it was anyone else, they wouldn’t think of it as an issue if they noticed this tiny flaw. But I was different! Ouyang Tianqi had once mentioned to me while we were chatting that there was something called “Human Skin Masks” in some of the ancient renowned families in Huaxia. It looked extremely real, and the wearer would look exactly like the real person.

That’s why I was sure that this Xia Jing was fake!

It seems like I came for nothing! I don’t know where the real Xia Jing went! However, what I could be sure of was that Xia Jing did not like this sort of disappointing rich second generation!

I pulled down the human skin mask on the girl’s face, revealing a rather plain face underneath.

“Lil’ Yu, why is it you!” A middle-aged woman exclaimed.

“Mistress, sorry, Young Mistress forced me to pretend to be her and come here…” Lil’ Yu dipped her head and said.

“What! Then were did Jingjing go!” The middle-aged woman asked anxiously.

“I don’t know either… Young Mistress didn’t tell me…” Lil’ Yu shook her head.

It seems like there wasn’t going to be any rewards from today. The clearly planned wedding rubbering turned into a clown fiesta and ended without any gains.

I indicated towards Du Xiaowei, who was beside me. Du Xiaowei immediately understood and said to the transmitter, “Prepare to retreat.”

The people holding guns all immediately returned to the helicopter in a trained fashion. When Du Xiaowei and I also boarded the helicopter, it finally left in a slow pace.

The police did not appear from start to end.

This was the result of David informing them beforehand. Although David was powerful, he still couldn’t blatantly do some sort of terrorist attack like this. However, he had a good reason for it. He was shooting a tv show!

David did control several media companies, so this reason was very normal.

If anyone really investigates later, David could just say that he didn’t know someone was holding a wedding there, causing the misunderstanding.

Since nobody was hurt, David could easily deal with it using his influence. That was the advantage of a capitalist country, money and power means that you’re amazing.

In a lot of western countries, mobsters had already turned into a special existence that was allowed to exist…

“Sorry everyone! I caused everyone to be frightened…” Lei Fubo comforted everyone with a pale expression.

“Ha! Interesting, what do you think, Jack?”

“Yeah, it was great, it’s comparable to Hollywood films!”

“Thank god someone told us to come here to watch beforehand. Otherwise, we would have missed such a show!”

“Someone told you guys as well? Same for us, haha!”

“Yeah, the hell is Lei’s Corporation, how could they have the right for me to come here in person. If it wasn’t for someone giving me a heads-up, I wouldn’t have come!”

Those guests, who sat on the side like nothing happened, started to speak mockingly.

Lei Fubo finally understood, someone messed with him!

These amazing people didn’t come to the wedding sincerely, it’s merely because someone gave them the heads-up, telling them to watch a show and mock him!

Now, not only was the wedding ruined, even the bride was fake. Lei Fubo didn’t dare to get mad at the guests, so he could only get angry at Xia Jing’s mother.

“What’s going on! Is our Lei family not good enough for your family’s Xia Jing! You’re only the chairman of a national corporation, no matter how amazing you are, your company isn’t yours! Our Lei family can let your daughter enjoy all extravagance! Look, where is she now!” Lei Fubo roared angrily at the middle-aged woman who spoke earlier.

“How do I know? Did your Lei family offend someone! They actually destroyed the wedding to this degree! Thank god my daughter didn’t come, otherwise, she might have already been taken away by bad people!” The middle-aged woman was also angry as she argued loudly. “Since it’s like this, then my daughter isn’t getting married!”

“Not getting married? That’s simple. Our Lei family already announced to the media that there’s an engagement with your daughter and we’re holding a wedding today. They’re not going to marry just because you said so?” Lei Fubo roared.

My phone ran not long after I boarded the helicopter.

“Son, we saw it through satellite tv. You looked great, but wasn’t it too over the top?” My dad said both excitedly and a bit worriedly.

“It was just a bit over the top, but sorry for not finding Xia Jing,” I said a bit helplessly.

“Haha, no worries. Then so be it if you didn’t find her, it doesn’t matter!” My dad continued.

“What do you mean ‘then so be it’?” I asked in confusion.

“My turn… Son, I’m your mom. Your performance just now moved someone to no end… She called you Dagege as she cried…” My mom’s voice came over the phone.

“Ganma… Why are you saying that… It’s too embarrassing…”

F̲u̲c̲k̲! It was actually the voice of little beauty Xia!

“Dagege, I didn’t think that you still cared about me…” Little Beauty Xia spoke on the phone now. “Originally, I had thought that it was a bit sudden and rash for me to go to Songjiang to find you, and I was afraid that you would have already forgotten about me… You really still remember me…” Little Beauty Xia choked.

“Xia Jing, of course Dagege remembers you, how could I forget… Dagege is in the US right now, I’ll go and find you after I get back to the country. Nothing’s going to be wrong with your home, right?” I asked worriedly.

“Hehe, thank you Dagege. I just saw the live broadcast, after Dagege went and messed up the wedding, mom and Uncle Lei already got into an argument… My mom probably wouldn’t make me marry Lei Xiaolong anymore…” Xia Jing said happily.

“Ha! I really didn’t expect such a result would happen! So that middle-aged woman is your mother…” I exclaimed silently. What a coincidence! My actions actually caused the Xia family and Lei family’s relationship to turn tense!

“I just feel bad for Lil’ Yu… Ai!” Xiao Jing sighed. “But this is for the best, if Dagege didn’t appear, then Lil’ Yu might have been defiled by Lei Xiaolong…”

“Lil’ Yu… wouldn’t get punished, right?” I felt rather apologetic towards Lil’ Yu, since I ripped off the mask.

“It should be fine, Lil’ Yu is a child my family adopted, she has been with me since I was young, mom shouldn’t trouble her…” said Xia Jing.

“That’s good. Otherwise, I really would have harmed her. This is good as well, so Lei Xiaolong wouldn’t treat her as you, and cause any other trouble!” I said in agreement.
