416: Chapter 42 Family?

Whenever it comes to such critical questions...

The System always plays dead.

Having discovered this issue...

Lu Chen no longer had the mood to wander around.

He returned to the place where he lived in his past life's memories.

Home address, school...

Everything existed.

Except anything related to him did not exist.

There was a house at the home address, but it wasn't the home from his memories.

Schools, from kindergarten to university, were all there, but the name Lu Chen was not in the records.

The world was still that world.

It just seemed like he didn't exist.

Including the parents, friends, and childhood playmates in his memories—none of them existed...

What was going on?

"System, come out!"

Silence.

Still silence.

"Fine, just play dead forever then."

While Lu Chen's emotions were in turmoil...

He suddenly remembered the System had said...

His parents were not his biological parents.

His family was someone else entirely.

Could this be what it meant?

They might have abandoned him for some reason.

Therefore, Lu Chen had no feelings for them.

Nor did he think much about looking for them.

But facing this situation now...

They might be the only Breakthrough.

So, he used his own Soul as an anchor.

To investigate whether anyone else in this world had a connection to his Soul.

Just like a DNA test.

Except he was using the Law of Karma.

Very quickly.

He established a connection with four people.

They were all living in the same place at the moment.

That place was located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

It was an island.

What were they doing there?

Lu Chen wanted to know the answer.

So he left immediately.

And arrived on that island.

It wasn't just an island.

But a large city.

However, there was a barrier around this city.

It turned out this Earth really did possess superpowers.

It seemed his family was also extraordinary.

But this city was like a no-man's land.

There were many buildings there, but no people.

So he walked toward the city center.

There, he discovered a massive palace.

He looked around.

There were only four people in the palace.

Two men, a woman, and a little girl.

Both men were of mixed Eastern and Western descent.

The woman had a completely Eastern face.

Of the two men, one's strength had reached D-rank, Sixth Layer, while the other's had reached E-rank, Ninth Layer.

The woman was only F-rank, Tenth Layer.

But both men were gravely ill, suffering from both internal and external injuries.

"A bit strange."

Lu Chen couldn't help but think.

So he decided to listen to their conversation.

The older man spoke slowly.

"Shani, we should leave as soon as possible. They could come here at any time."

Shani immediately replied.

"Alright, Father. Everything is ready. Let's go."

After saying that...

The four of them left the palace through an underground tunnel.

They took a submarine into the depths of the ocean.

"Are they my family? They aren't ordinary people; they possess supernatural powers. But who exactly are they hiding from?"

Lu Chen had many questions.

However, he would eventually find the answers.

Then, he began to tail them.

To see where they would go.

Many types of creatures lived on the seabed.

They all looked very beautiful.

So...

While following them...

Lu Chen also appreciated the scenery along the way.

Just then...

He sensed several powerful auras entering the island they had just left.

"My Lord, the Toriati Family has escaped. What should we do?"

One of them asked.

The leader sneered.

"Let them run. Do they really think they can escape from our hands? That's just wishful thinking. Alright, let's go."

Lu Chen heard their conversation.

He frowned slightly.

So there was an organization hunting down his family?

Should he eliminate them now, or wait until later?

After some thought...

He decided to wait for now.

To first figure out what was going on.

After sailing for nearly a day, the submarine entered the Atlantic Ocean.

It was already night at that time.

Lu Chen looked at their direction.

They were likely heading toward Africa.

Lu Chen guessed his family was fleeing to Africa.

But why were they doing this?

He enveloped the submarine with his Spiritual Domain.

And began to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Daddy, are we really leaving home?"

The little girl, about ten years old, said while crying.

Shani said.

"Timi, we're only leaving temporarily. We'll move back to our home very soon."

Timi stopped crying and looked at her father.

"Daddy, are you telling the truth?"

Shani leaned down and stroked her small head.

"Yes, my little princess."

Timi completely stopped crying.

But Timi's mother was not happy.

She glanced at her husband.

Her gaze seemed to say...

Why are you giving her false hope?

Shani gave her a comforting look.

"What she needs now isn't the truth, but hope. The entire Bloodline of the Toriati Family rests upon her alone."

A sharp pain shot through Li Xue's heart.

Timi wasn't an only child; they had a son as well.

Her son's appearance surfaced in her mind.

"I'm sorry, my child. Mommy couldn't protect you. Those devils took everything from you and then killed you."

"And we could do nothing about it. Haha... The great Toriati Family couldn't even protect its own heir."
