246: Huo Qichen's impotent rage!

Pfft—

With a slight squeeze of his palm, the heart was directly crushed, then slowly pulled back.

In just a moment, a bloody hole appeared in Uncle Zhou's chest.

He slumped softly to the ground, his consciousness rapidly fading.

"You...how dare you..."

"I am...a member of the Huo Family..."

"Bastard...I can't die...I must go back...report...rep..."

"..."

The old man crawled forward with difficulty, leaving a terrifying trail of blood on the ground.

His only remaining obsession...was to quickly return to the Huo Family and report Lin Xuan's matter.

This man is too terrifying!!!

If he was left unchecked, the Huo Family would sooner or later be destroyed by him, and then Young Master Huo would be in danger...

The old man crawled and crawled, his vision gradually blurring...but he still moved forward at a snail's pace, until his vision went black and he completely stopped moving...

Uncle Zhou, dead!

...

"This [Tie Tie Mirroring] skill is truly heaven-defying. Did I even copy Su Fan's mindset during battle?!"

"Even though it's my first time taking a life, I don't feel any discomfort. On the contrary, I'm a little excited..."

"No wonder Su Fan always looked down on everything! So he really doesn't care about human lives!"

"..."

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Lin Xuan's eyes were indifferent, without any discomfort.

At this moment, his overall aura was somewhat close to Su Fan's mindset of treating life as grass.

Immediately after.

Lin Xuan closed the [Tie Tie Mirroring] skill, checked the time, only 2 and a half minutes had passed.

But the next activation would be 24 hours later; the skill cooldown was one day.

When the skill was closed, Lin Xuan could feel the powerful energy in his body rapidly disappearing.

However, an extremely subtle part of it still faintly remained...

"If I activate the skill enough times, with a little bit remaining each time."

"Will there be a day when I can become a grandmaster even without activating the skill?"

Lin Xuan knew very well that if he didn't rely on the system...he would have already missed the best stage for martial arts training at his age, and he wasn't some martial arts prodigy himself.

If he didn't cheat, then in this life, even if he trained himself to death, he would at most be a small martial artist who had just entered Inner Strength...

After a moment of thought, Lin Xuan's gaze returned to the bloody corpse on the ground, and he frowned slightly...

"What a headache! How should I destroy the body and erase all traces?"

"I originally planned to use business tactics to ruin the Huo Family, but now with this incident, the plan might be slightly affected..."

"I remember that in Huo Qichen's heart, Uncle Zhou held significant weight, almost like a mentor and a friend."

"Once he learns that this old man died by my hand, he definitely won't let it go."

"Seriously, if only the system could help me clean up..."

"..."

With a glimmer of hope, Lin Xuan consulted the system.

He hadn't expected a response, but to his surprise, a delightful sound rang out...

"Ding! The system can recycle 'Uncle Zhou's' corpse, valued at 100 Tie Tie points. Would the host like to exchange?"

Ah... this?!

Waste can actually be reused?!

No need to ask, exchange it immediately!!!

"Ding! Recycling successful, host has gained 100 points."

As soon as the system's voice fell, ripples suddenly appeared in the air.

Uncle Zhou's corpse, along with the bloodstains on the ground, seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force. The previously clear outline of the corpse gradually became hazy and blurred.

As time passed, the prone figure became increasingly transparent, until it completely vanished...

Five minutes later, Lin Xuan hummed a tune and returned to Su Family Manor, entering his familiar room.

By the French window.

The setting sun streamed into the room through the sheer curtains, creating mottled light and shadows.

A gentle breeze rustled the curtains, bringing a refreshing coolness.

The girl in the wheelchair sat quietly, her hair dancing in the breeze, like a captivating painting.

When she heard the movement and turned her wheelchair to look back, at that instant...time seemed to stop flowing.

Her beautiful eyes were clear and bright, exuding an indescribable charm.

Her smile was as warm and bright as spring sunshine, intoxicating.

Outside the French window.

The scenery, bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, appeared exceptionally beautiful, echoing the girl's elegant demeanor.

She was like a character from a painting, existing in harmony with the entire world, yet with a hint of ethereal transcendence.

This beautiful scene was directly etched into Lin Xuan's heart, becoming an eternal memory...

"I'm back."

"Hmm, welcome home."

...Night.

The Huo Family manor was brightly lit, with sounds of smashing and angry curses occasionally emanating from within.

Bang bang bang!!!

"Useless, a bunch of quacks."

"You can't even cure this minor illness, get out! Get out of here right now!!!"

"..."

In the center of the hall, Huo Qichen sat in a wheelchair, his face livid and ferocious, in a fit of rage, having completely lost his usual unchanging poker face.

He picked up a vase from the table and smashed it against the forehead of the family doctor he had paid a high price for.

The doctor screamed, his head instantly bleeding, and fled the room in a panic amidst Huo Qichen's angry curses.

Damn it!

How can I become a cripple?! How can I!!!

Huo Qichen desperately slapped his numb legs, his chiseled face full of terror. He couldn't imagine a life spent in a wheelchair.

But no matter how anxious and horrified he was, his legs remained completely unresponsive.

Bang bang bang!!!

After venting for an unknown period, the ground was already covered in shattered glass, a complete mess.

Huo Qichen finally calmed down slightly, sitting blankly in the center of the hall.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he forcibly suppressed his irritable mood, his face cold, and frowned as he questioned the uneasy butler beside him:

"Has Uncle Zhou not returned yet?"

"Reporting, Young Master, Master Zhou has not returned since he left this morning..."

"Quickly call Uncle Zhou and ask him where he is now?"

"Uh... Young Master, actually, I just tried to contact Master Zhou a while ago. But I haven't been able to reach him!"

"..."

After hearing the butler's report, Huo Qichen's heart sank.

A certain indescribable sense of unease quickly rose from within him.

Previously, Uncle Zhou had asked him if he could act without restraint, and after receiving his nod of approval, he repeatedly promised to complete the task at all costs...

Huo Qichen had no doubts about this and gave him his full trust.

Because Uncle Zhou's abilities had been proven over many years of working together; he was his right-hand man, his most loyal subordinate.

Whatever his commands were, Uncle Zhou would do his best to fulfill them, unlike his parents who only valued profit and demanded perfection from him...

In Huo Qichen's eyes, Uncle Zhou, who had always been by his side protecting him, was more like a mentor, a friend, and a family member.

But now... Uncle Zhou was out of contact!

"Search! Immediately send people to search for him!!!"

The continuous bad news left Huo Qichen feeling somewhat exhausted.

He shouted and yelled uncontrollably, showing none of his former coolness and composure...
