Chapter 64: Young Man, Do You Desire Power? (2/2)
“But you know his strength better than anyone. With your current power, it’s impossible to kill him. Besides, once the Tiger Demi-Humans Genetic Agent is fully developed, as a cripple, you’ll never have another chance to climb higher.” The woman continued to entice him: “I’ll ask you again, do you desire that power?”
Under the woman’s seemingly bewitching words, a sharp dark purple light flashed through Qu Zhen’s eyes. His lips trembled slightly before he slowly opened them and said:
“I… desire it…”
…
When he opened his eyes, the glaring sunlight had already pierced through the window, making Shen Cheng’s still drowsy eyes sting slightly.
He picked up his phone and tapped into Yu Lan’s chat interface. After wrapping up his affair with Branno last night, Shen Cheng had reported everything about Mermaid to Yu Lan.
Unfortunately, this time Yu Lan, who was usually quick to respond, hadn’t given a reply. The message had been stuck since last night.
Stretching his slightly sore shoulders, Shen Cheng lifted the blanket off.
Hmm, no sign of Sugar, nor anything else unusual.
He first dialed Yu Lan’s number, but it was busy.
Shen Cheng blinked and then called Yan Jinfang, Li Ji, and several others one by one, but they were all busy.
Did something happen?
Finally, Shen Cheng called Liu Su. This time, it connected quickly, and Liu Su’s anxious voice came through: “Shen Cheng, what’s going on?”
“What’s happening on your end?” Sensing Liu Su’s tense tone, Shen Cheng frowned and asked.
“Tell me your story first.”
“Alright…” Shen Cheng didn’t waste time and quickly explained everything about Mermaid and Branno to Liu Su.
“…Sigh.” Liu Su remained silent for a while, then let out a long sigh and said: “It seems you’ve encountered quite a few things during your holiday.”
“Too?” Shen Cheng was puzzled.
“Never mind, just be careful these next few days. I’ll report this to the higher-ups.” Liu Su seemed to be hiding something from Shen Cheng, but he didn’t probe further. Noticing Liu Su was about to hang up, Shen Cheng suddenly said: “Liu Su.”
“What is it?”
“The gun you gave me… it saved my life. Thank you, I’ll take good care of it.” Shen Cheng sincerely expressed his gratitude.
“…” Liu Su remained silent for a moment before replying, “I’m just glad you’re safe.”
After saying that, Liu Su hung up the phone.
Was it Shen Cheng’s imagination, or did Liu Su sound somewhat… pleased when he said that last sentence?
Getting out of bed and dressing, Shen Cheng patted his forehead. After clearing his mind, he opened the door and stepped out.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Yuhui and Sugar stepping out of the opposite room, one person and one cat hand in hand, both with heavy dark circles under their sleepy eyes.
“Good morning, Master~”
“Good morning, Senior~”
“Morning.” Seeing the pair in this state, Shen Cheng couldn’t help but laugh: “What? Stayed up late playing games together last night?”
Lin Yuhui and Sugar gave stiff smiles but said nothing.
