    Chapter 255

    Sister Bai sat motionless on the ground.

    Her eyes were vacant.

    She stared blankly into the darkness, as though her soul had already left her body.

    No one knew what she was thinking.

    Perhaps...

    She wasn't thinking about anything at all.

    After a long silence, Molly slowly walked behind her and gently wrapped her arms around Sister Bai.

    She said nothing.

    She simply wanted to share a little warmth.

    Molly understood that feeling.

    She had spent countless nights drowning in despair after her face had been disfigured.

    She knew what helplessness felt like.

    The world slowly losing all of its colors.

    Being unable to change anything.

    Unable to do anything at all.

    ...

    Tap.

    Tap.

    Footsteps suddenly echoed through the silent night.

    The sound was exceptionally clear.

    Molly immediately became alert.

    "Who's there?"

    Her summoned beasts instantly assumed battle formations.

    Sister Bai also instinctively turned toward the darkness.

    Two small figures slowly emerged beneath the streetlights.

    Their shadows stretched across the ground.

    From blurred outlines...

    To familiar silhouettes.

    Molly's eyes widened.

    Sister Bai's pupils suddenly contracted.

    She rubbed her eyes hard.

    Thinking she had begun hallucinating.

    Then she looked again.

    Jingzhong.

    Jingyi.

    The two boys were calmly walking toward them...

    Each carrying a child in his arms.

    For a moment...

    Sister Bai thought she was dreaming.

    Or perhaps her mind had finally broken.

    But...

    Whether it was a dream or a hallucination...

    She desperately hoped it would never end.

    She slowly stood up.

    Her legs, numb from sitting cross-legged for so long, nearly gave out beneath her.

    She stumbled.

    Then walked faster.

    Soon...

    She was running.

    Her mind was completely blank.

    She didn't even know why she was running.

    When Yashan gently handed Bai Xingfeng and Bai Xingzhi over to her...

    She still couldn't believe it.

    Only after feeling the warmth of their little bodies did reality finally return.

    The empty shell inside her seemed to regain its soul.

    An overwhelming wave of relief flooded over her.

    Joy and grief collided together.

    Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

    She nearly fainted from the emotional shock.


    ---

    After escorting Molly safely back to the hotel...

    Everyone returned to the Morning Sun Courtyard.

    Only Xiaotian remained awake.

    She had been anxiously waiting the entire night.

    The other children were still fast asleep, completely unaware of everything that had happened.

    Bai Xingfeng and Bai Xingzhi had merely been drugged.

    After a good night's sleep, they would wake up unharmed.

    That night...

    Sister Bai insisted on sleeping with both children in her arms.

    She refused to let them leave her sight for even a moment.


    ---

    The following afternoon...

    After lunch...

    Sister Bai quietly found Su Hao.

    She led both Su Hao and Yashan into a secluded corner before asking,

    "Jingzhong..."

    "I didn't get the chance to ask last night."

    "What happened to those two scum?"

    Su Hao pointed toward Yashan.

    "You should ask Jingyi."

    "He handled it."

    Sister Bai looked over.

    Yashan scratched his head and smiled.

    "I buried them."

    "Deep underground."

    Sister Bai couldn't imagine how two nine-year-old children had accomplished something like that.

    After thinking for a moment, she asked,

    "Jingzhong..."

    "Was it your Sawtooth Guinea Pig King that did it?"

    Su Hao shook his head.

    "Not exactly."

    "But close enough."

    "It's difficult to explain."

    "Anyway..."

    "I'm a genius."

    "And I'm very strong."

    Yashan immediately added,

    "Boss Wei is invincible."

    Su Hao nodded seriously.

    "That's right."

    Then he continued,

    "Don't worry, Sister Bai."

    "In another four or five months..."

    "I'll prepare three S-Rank summoned beasts for you."

    "They'll all be extremely powerful."

    "Once that happens..."

    "You won't have to worry about your safety anymore."

    Sister Bai couldn't help thinking,

    He talks about S-Rank summoned beasts as though they're vegetables in the market...

    Still...

    After witnessing what had happened last night...

    She no longer dared dismiss his words entirely.

    Even if she still couldn't understand them.

    After leaving, Sister Bai felt far more relaxed than before.

    It was as though someone had finally begun sharing the burden she had carried alone for so many years.


    ---

    After she left...

    Su Hao looked toward Yashan.

    "How's your homework coming?"

    Yashan scratched his head awkwardly.

    "It's only been one day..."

    "I haven't figured it out yet."

    Su Hao smiled mysteriously.

    "That's fine."

    "Today..."

    "I'll take you somewhere."

    Yashan immediately became curious.

    "Somewhere mysterious?"

    Su Hao nodded.

    "An internet café."

    Yashan's eyes instantly lit up.

    He had heard countless stories about internet cafés from older students at school.

    But he had never actually been inside one.

    He couldn't help asking excitedly,

    "I heard only adults are allowed inside!"

    Su Hao snorted.

    "That's only because you don't have enough money."

    "If you're rich enough..."

    "Even with a baby face..."

    "You're still considered an adult."

    Yashan became even more excited.

    "What kind of fun is reserved only for adults?"

    His heart itched with anticipation.

    He almost wanted to transform into his King of Steel form and fly there immediately.

    Without another word, he ran back inside.

    A moment later...

    He returned carrying an entire sack of cash.

    "Let's go, Boss Wei!"

    Su Hao stared speechlessly.

    Does this fool really intend to carry a sack of money into an internet café?

    After thinking about it...

    He shrugged.

    Money couldn't complain.

    If Yashan was happy...

    Then let him carry it.

    Who said you couldn't walk into an internet café carrying a sack of cash?


    ---

    The two children soon arrived at a small internet café in a remote part of the city.

    The moment they entered...

    A wave of cigarette smoke and stale air hit them.

    Su Hao immediately grabbed Yashan's sleeve.

    "Forget this place."

    "Let's try another."

    Not long afterward...

    The two walked into a proper cyber café.

    Unfortunately...

    The owner refused to let them in.

    Even after seeing the sack full of money.

    Left with no choice...

    They returned to the original internet café.

    This time...

    Money solved the problem.

    After paying...

    The two found a secluded corner.

    Yashan whispered,

    "So having money doesn't always work."

    Su Hao shook his head.

    "Your horizons are still too narrow."

    "If you truly have enough money..."

    "You simply buy the entire internet café."

    "Your little sack clearly isn't enough."

    Yashan suddenly understood.

    "That makes sense."

    Following Su Hao's example, he awkwardly pressed the computer's power button before putting on the headphones.

    The startup animation played.

    A burst of energetic music followed.

    Soon...

    The desktop appeared.

    The wallpaper featured a beautiful woman wielding an enormous firearm.

    Wild.

    Cool.

    Powerful.

    Yashan stared blankly.

    Then turned toward Su Hao.

    "...What now?"

    Su Hao patiently taught him the most basic computer operations.

    Then he launched a first-person shooting game.

    After demonstrating twice...

    He handed over the mouse.

    "The rest is yours."

    Question.

    What is the fastest way to learn basic computer operation?

    Answer.

    Games.

    As expected...

    Yashan quickly figured everything out.

    Before long...

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    He was completely immersed in the game.

    Every time he eliminated an enemy...

    He shouted excitedly.

    Smack!

    Su Hao casually slapped him on the back of the head.

    Yashan looked confused.

    "What was that for, Boss Wei?"

    Su Hao replied,

    "Play quietly."

    "Why are you shouting?"

    From then onward...

    Yashan obediently kept his mouth shut.

    Only...

    His body movements became even more exaggerated.


    ---

    Unlike Yashan...

    Su Hao hadn't come here to play games.

    His objective was gathering information.

    Although the academy library contained an enormous amount of knowledge...

    Books were updated slowly.

    Many things had already become outdated.

    Today's goals were perfectly clear.

    He began collecting information аbout:

    The current global political climate and major recent events.

    The world's ruling organizations and the relationships between them.

    The latest technological developments and cutting-edge research directions.

    Cases involving missing children and the authorities' responses.

    Information concerning the Summoned Beast Resistance Association.

    Whether this world's information technology resembled that of his previous worlds, and whether any vulnerabilities existed that could allow access to restricted networks.

    And much more.

    After enough information had been collected...

    Patterns would naturally emerge.

    Reality was rarely identical to what appeared on the surface.


    ---

    Su Hao also intended to destroy the Summoned Beast Resistance Association.

    Even if he couldn't eradicate the entire organization...

    He at least wanted to eliminate its leadership.

    There were two reasons.

    First...

    They had repeatedly targeted him.

    Like flies buzzing endlessly around his head.

    He disliked flies.

    If possible...

    He preferred killing them all at once.

    Second...

    He coveted their technology.

    An organization capable of surviving years of pursuit by the Summoner Association undoubtedly possessed knowledge worth acquiring.

    For Su Hao...

    Knowledge only had value...

    After it became his.

    I refuse to believe that the associations is not implicitly allowing the resistance to live because they do their dirty work.
