32: Chapter 32 Big Brother, I heard Bai Cang is a morally corrupt pervert?

The light above the dining table was a bit dazzling.

Su Yun took a bite of a crunchy lotus root slice, bringing up the topic as if it were unintentional.

"By the way, I ran into something quite strange outside today."

He put down his chopsticks and, looking at his family members sitting around him with various expressions, spoke slowly and deliberately.

"There was this incredibly beautiful big sister wearing a sparkly dress, who brought along several old men with white beards. She insisted that I had a strong affinity with her and even gave me a gold medal."

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Qing, who had been busy shoveling rice into her mouth, choked and started coughing violently.

Old Su's hand trembled, and the spare rib on his chopsticks nearly fell into his soup bowl.

He knew better than anyone that she wasn't just some beautiful big sister; she was the current Saintess of the Sanctuary, the very culprit who had brought people to nearly break his old waist!

But he had to pretend.

"Xiao Yun," Su Jianguo cleared his throat, putting on the appearance of an earnest elder, "Scammers these days have so many tricks. You should avoid contact with people of unknown origin like that. Who knows what her intentions are? What if she wants to kidnap you and sell you off to some mountain village?"

Lin Wanqing didn't respond, just shot her husband a light glare.

She cursed inwardly: That's someone I called to protect our kid, and in your mouth, she's become a human trafficker?

Su Chen and Su Yao both raised their heads in perfect unison.

The Sanctuary?

Su Chen narrowed his eyes, clearly recognizing the medal.

His mind rapidly searched for information about this mysterious organization.

As the leader of the Salvation Society, he naturally knew the weight of the Sanctuary.

That group of people who claimed to be the spokespersons for the gods had always been very arrogant; why would they suddenly make contact with his younger brother, who possessed no spiritual energy?

"Xiao Yun, tell me in detail, what exactly did she say to you?"

Although Su Chen's voice was gentle, his eyes already carried a hint of scrutiny.

"She didn't say much, she was just quite enthusiastic."

Su Yun shrugged, his expression innocent, "That shorty named Dark Blade was so uncouth, kidnapping a decent high school student like me in the middle of the street, so she stepped in to save me."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Su Qing coughed until her face turned bright red, nearly coughing out her lungs.

She tightly held down her fisherman hat, the resentment in her heart nearly becoming tangible.

Damn big brother!

I just wanted to scare you a little!

Did you have to mention me over and over again?

You're too petty!

Su Yao's expression instantly became grave. She looked at Su Yun, her tone extremely serious.

"Xiao Yun, don't be afraid. The nature of this matter has changed. Although The Watchers is a civilian organization, it is still supervised by the Investigation Bureau. Dark Blade hijacking a civilian is a serious violation. It's good that you're okay. Tomorrow when I return to the bureau, I will file a report, requesting the Investigation Bureau to negotiate with The Watchers organization! And I'll have two people sent over to protect you!"

Su Qing: "..."

What should I do? I really want to just die right now...

When Su Yun heard this, his head ached.

If the Investigation Bureau got involved too, he would completely lose his personal freedom.

"Sis, there's really no need. That shorty didn't do anything to me, she just took me for a spin in the sky, it was actually quite exciting."

Su Yun waved his hand nonchalantly, "On the other hand, that big sister from the Sanctuary was quite interesting. She told me that the world is very chaotic, and besides Strange Tales, one also has to be wary of those bad guys with human faces but beastly hearts."

As he spoke, his gaze landed precisely on Su Chen.

"Big Brother, you do business outside and travel all over the world, so your knowledge must be broader than mine. Have you ever heard of a person named Bai Cang?"

Su Chen's heart stopped for a beat.

In that instant, he felt cold sweat crawling up his spine.

The originally gentle and jade-like expression showed an extremely subtle stiffness, but fortunately his acting skills were solid, and he quickly covered it up.

"Bai Cang?"

Su Chen put down his bowl, pretending to be thoughtful, "This name... I seem to have heard it a few times in the news. Why bring him up all of a sudden?"

Su Yao and Su Jianguo's brows also furrowed at the same time.

Bai Cang.

This name represented different calamities to the ears of people at different levels.

"That pretty big sister told me."

Su Yun glanced at Su Yao's slightly swollen face.

He turned his head to stare at Su Chen, a seemingly innocent smile hanging on the corners of his mouth.

"She said this Bai Cang is the leader of some evil organization. Although he looks like a decent human being, his heart is full of bad intentions. She evaluated him as extremely dangerous, inherently evil, shameless in his actions, and morally corrupt. She even said he has some kind of perverted tendency to abuse his family, and told me to stay away from trash like that."

Su Chen: "..."

His facial muscles twitched involuntarily.

He accepted "extremely dangerous" and "inherently evil"; his path was indeed different from others.

But what the Hell was this "shameless," "morally corrupt," and "perverted tendency to abuse his family"?

It seemed he didn't have any feud with the people from the Sanctuary, right?

"Bam!"

Su Jianguo slammed the table heavily.

"Well said!"

Old Su was full of indignation, completely unaware that his eldest son's face was already black enough to drip ink.

"This person Bai Cang is truly devoid of conscience. He led that bunch of lunatics from the Salvation Society and caused a lot of trouble internationally. I heard that the reason Sakura Island fell was because he was pushing things from behind the scenes. It's full of Strange Tales everywhere there now, and it's even rumored that a Strange Tale beyond S-rank has been born."

"It doesn't matter if Sakura Island is destroyed, but a beyond S-rank Strange Tale, we are so close, it seriously affects our safety!"

Su Jianguo looked at Su Yao, his tone extremely solemn.

"Yaoyao, you're from the Investigation Bureau. This Bai Cang likes to wear a silver-white mask to act mysterious. In the future, if you're unlucky enough to run into such a vicious and heinous character while on a mission, don't say a word, just run! People like this have no bottom line!"

Blue veins popped out on the back of Su Chen's hand as he gripped his soup spoon.

He really wanted to say: Dad, that is tactical equipment, not acting mysterious.

And without destruction, there is no construction.

Although Sakura Island is full of Strange Tales, the people remaining there now, after being filtered, are quite a bit stronger!

I heard that during this time, a few more S-rank powerhouses have emerged there.

This proves that my theory is correct!

"I see." Su Yun nodded thoughtfully and turned to look at Su Chen, "Big Brother, look at you, your face has turned pale just from hearing this. Were you scared by such a pervert?"

Su Chen squeezed out an awkward but polite smile.

"Yes... it does sound quite scary."

"Oh, right, Big Brother,"

Su Yun picked up a slice of lotus root and, appearing unintentional, added another cut,

"That big sister also mentioned in passing that this Bai Cang... seems to be from our Linhai City too. It's even highly likely that he is lurking in some corner right beside us, watching this city like a viper."

"Clang!"

The soup spoon in Su Chen's hand hit the edge of the porcelain bowl heavily, splashing a few drops of oil.

He felt as if his heart had been gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand. The terrifying feeling that his very underwear was about to be seen through made his face turn as pale as paper, and even his breathing stopped for a moment.

Is this a God-Gifted?

Truly terrifying.

To be able to calculate even his own background!

"Big Brother, why are you reacting so strongly?" Su Yun raised an eyebrow, his eyes playful, "Scared? Then let's change the topic. If you were that Bai Cang, or rather, if you possessed S-rank heaven-defying abilities, what would you most want to do? Would you really learn from him and go out there to carry out those terrorist attacks?"

Su Chen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the stormy waves in his heart.

He began to feel that something was wrong.

This doesn't seem like the Sanctuary.

If they knew his identity, they would have already assembled all their manpower and joined forces with the authorities to eliminate him.

Could it be?

He squeezed out a gentle but slightly stiff smile, his voice low and firm.

"If I really had that kind of power... I would probably just want to do my best to save this world that is on the verge of collapse in this chaotic era full of Strange Tales. Most importantly, to protect you all, to protect this home of ours, and not let anyone hurt you."

"For this... can you use any means necessary?"

Su Yun stared fixedly into Su Chen's eyes. Although his tone was light, it carried a coldness that pierced straight to the heart.

The atmosphere at the dining table instantly froze.

Su Chen met Su Yun's gaze, his heart jolting violently.

This gaze was definitely not one that an ordinary high school student should have.

Could Xiao Yun have already discovered his identity?

These pieces of information weren't provided to him by the Sanctuary; did he awaken some kind of special Karma-type or mind-reading ability himself?

Su Chen was silent for a moment, not retreating, a hint of nearly paranoid fanaticism and determination appearing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and answered seriously: "Yes! Even if I have to fall into the deepest Hell, even if I have to stand against the whole world, I can use any means necessary for that!"

Su Yun understood in his heart; while testing the other party, the other party was also testing him.

Big Brother had indeed also seen his own issues.

This was the attitude Big Brother was giving him.

He sighed inwardly.

Big Brother, I share your desire to protect our family, and for that, I would not hesitate to use all the taboos of this mutated body.

But for the point of "saving the world by any means necessary," I cannot agree.

That is essentially kidnapping the whole world based on personal will. This so-called salvation is itself an extremely dangerous calamity.

Looking at the extreme glimmer in the depths of Su Chen's eyes, Su Yun silently made a decision.

Big Brother, this path you've gone astray on, I will be the one to personally cut it off when the time comes.

"Bam!"

Su Jianguo slapped the table, breaking the confrontation between the brothers, and glared sideways at the two of them.

"Saving the world? What does saving the world have to do with you little brats? You two, one doing business, one studying, what kind of chuunibyou nonsense is in your heads all day long? Is that something you should be worrying about! Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold!"
