Chapter 3

The news diagnosed it as the work of organ traffickers.

"Organ traffickers?"

Chen Hao didn't believe the news.

There are so many people in this city; why would they pick Zhao Ritian out of everyone else?

There must be something fishy going on.

"Ding-dong!"

At this moment, Chen Hao's doorbell was pressed.

Chen Hao opened the door and saw a woman.

The woman was wearing a uniform and looked very capable.

"Are you Chen Hao?"

"Yes."

"My name is Tian Wenjing, from the Ability Bureau. I'm here to ask you some questions."

"Tian Wenjing?"

Seeing Tian Wenjing, Chen Hao was a bit surprised.

She was a famous female detective, and news about her was often broadcast on TV.

People said she was Bao Qingtian reincarnated, impartial, and brilliant at solving cases.

She was a good detective.

"Come in and sit for a moment."

"I'll go make you a cup of tea."

Chen Hao invited Tian Wenjing in to sit down.

Chen Hao quickly made a cup of tea and handed it to Tian Wenjing.

"Thank you!"

Tian Wenjing took it.

Then she got straight to the point and said to Chen Hao, "You should know why I'm here to find you."

"Is it because of Zhao Ritian's case?"

There was surveillance at the entrance of Heaven on Earth, and Chen Hao was a witness, so Tian Wenjing came to investigate.

"Yes."

Tian Wenjing nodded.

"Tell me what you know."

Chen Hao began to recount the events.

After listening to Chen Hao's account, Tian Wenjing was a bit disappointed.

She had hoped to get some useful information, but she didn't expect to get nothing.

"Thank you!"

Tian Wenjing stood up, preparing to leave.

"I'll see you out."

Chen Hao saw Tian Wenjing off.

After closing the door, he let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Hao didn't tell the truth; in fact, he had seen the people who organized the hunt for Zhao Ritian.

That guy had a scar on his face and a scorpion tattooed on his right shoulder.

But this had nothing to do with Chen Hao.

He just wanted to live a stable life.

Besides, the one who died was Zhao Ritian; it wasn't worth taking risks for him.

Chen Hao arrived at the Chen Family Funeral Home.

This was his family's business.

It was considered famous in this city.

As soon as Chen Hao arrived, he saw many expensive cars parked at the entrance.

"Which rich guy kicked the bucket?"

Just as Chen Hao was muttering to himself, Chen Qiang walked out from inside.

"You brat, hurry up and come in."

"A big order came in today."

"If we do it well, the other party will give us two hundred thousand."

Chen Qiang seemed a bit excited.

Two hundred thousand; he hadn't seen that much money in a long time.

Usually, those guys only gave ten or twenty thousand.

"Okay."

Chen Hao walked in.

After putting down his backpack, putting on his work clothes, and entering the workshop.

Chen Hao froze.

Because he discovered that he recognized the man standing inside.

"Zhao Tianba!"

Zhao Tianba was Zhao Ritian's father, a guy with a broad back and thick waist, a face full of flesh, and a gold necklace hanging around his neck.

It's just unclear if this big gold chain would float in a swimming pool.

Chen Hao had seen him at a school parent-teacher meeting before.

Because he had such a distinct personality, Chen Hao remembered him.

"I heard you are Xiao Tian's classmate?"

"Yes."

Chen Hao nodded.

Zhao Tianba was very cold at this moment, giving people a feeling of the calm before a storm.

"That's perfect, help me send him off."

"Okay."

Chen Hao walked over and lifted the white cloth.

The deceased Zhao Ritian was revealed.

He still had that punchable look.

Seeing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but say to himself in his heart, "In your next life, be a good person."

He began to handle the process.

It must be said that Chen Hao's craftsmanship had truly inherited Chen Qiang's true teachings.

Under his makeup, Zhao Ritian regained his former "glory."

"Xiao... Xiao Tian!"

Looking at Zhao Ritian's rosy face, Zhao Tianba could no longer suppress the grief in his heart.

He leaned against the workbench and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Chen Hao silently retreated.

He was long accustomed to such situations.

After waiting outside for a while, Chen Hao was called back in.

As Zhao Ritian was sent into the incinerator, a system prompt sounded in Chen Hao's mind.

"Ding-dong!"

"Congratulations to the host, corpse collection successful!"

"Obtained B-rank ability—[Flame Control]!"

Hearing this system prompt, a flash of joy crossed Chen Hao's face.

However, he quickly adjusted himself.

After all, Zhao Tianba was still nearby.

The man had just lost his son; if he showed happiness, he would probably get beaten up.

After sending Zhao Tianba away, Chen Hao went to his room.

He locked the door behind him.

"Snap!"

Chen Hao snapped his fingers, and suddenly a flame appeared at his fingertips.

"Is this the Flame Control ability?"

Chen Hao tried to move the flame away from his body.

As a result, the flame dissipated shortly after leaving his hand.

"My proficiency in flame control is not enough."

"And it seems my energy is not enough either."

Ability users are like mages; they not only need to improve their skill proficiency but also their ability energy.

This ability energy is like a mage's mana.

Chen Hao opened the door, only to find Chen Qiang standing at the door.

"Xiao Hao, young man, I understand you have a lot of energy."

"But you also need to take care of your health."

"If possible, Grandpa hopes you will find a girlfriend."

"And carry on the Chen family line soon."

"How about it? Do you want me to ask someone to introduce you?"

"Aunt Wu's daughter, Xiao Cui, is quite good."

"She works as a waitress in a hotel. I see she has big hips, good for childbearing, and she can definitely give our Chen family a big, chubby boy."

Hearing this, the image of Wu Xiaocui appeared in Chen Hao's mind.

She was a two-hundred-pound fatty who had to eat fatty meat at every meal.

"Forget it, Grandpa, I'm still young, no rush."

"Hey, how can you not be in a rush? I'm worried to death."

Just as Chen Qiang was about to continue saying something.

"Grandpa, a guest is here."

Chen Hao immediately went up to receive them.

Nighttime.

Chen Hao and Chen Qiang were eating at the same table.

"Come, try the braised pork Grandpa made."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Chen Hao picked some up and put it in his mouth.

Then he said to Chen Qiang, "Grandpa, I want you to do me a favor."

"What favor?"

"In the future, if there are any orders for ability users, you must call me."

"Let me handle it."

"Okay."

Chen Qiang nodded.

Seeing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, don't you want to know why?"

"I don't."

Chen Qiang shook his head.

"You must have your reasons for doing this."

"As for what they are, Grandpa doesn't want to know, and you don't need to tell Grandpa."

Everyone has their secrets.

As the saying goes, old people are wise.

Chen Qiang is so old; he is not a fool.

Chen Hao clearly hadn't awakened an ability, but suddenly he had one.

How could Chen Qiang not know the fishiness in this?

It's just that he didn't delve into it.

This is both to protect himself and to protect Chen Hao.

The latter is the most important.

Because this is a world with abilities; who knows if someone with ulterior motives might target Chen Hao.

At that time, they might use him as a hostage or as a breakthrough point.

"Xiao Hao."

"What's wrong? Grandpa."

"Grandpa doesn't care what you do, and I don't care how much you achieve; I just hope you are safe and sound."

"Yes, don't worry, Grandpa, I will take good care of myself."

"That's good."

"Come, have another piece of braised pork."

Chen Qiang picked up a piece of braised pork for Chen Hao.

In the following days, Chen Hao exercised his [Flame Control] ability every day.

He quickly mastered it flexibly.

However, he also encountered a problem.

That was that his internal ability energy was insufficient; he couldn't use [Flame Control] for long before he couldn't use it anymore.

"Damn it, a clever woman can't cook without rice."

"If this mage has no mana, what's the point of playing!"

"I must find a way to increase the ability energy in my body."

The image of a guy suddenly appeared in Chen Hao's mind.

"Li Gang, it's him."

Chen Hao planned to start with Li Gang and get a cultivation technique from him.

Chen Hao immediately contacted Li Gang.

Li Gang was a righteous person, and hearing that Chen Hao wanted to come and hang out with him.

He immediately expressed his welcome.

Chen Hao took a car to Li Gang's house.

Li Gang's house was a 140-square-meter flat.

After Chen Hao went in, Li Gang invited him to sit down.

He even brought him some fruit.

"Chen Hao, how do you have time to come find me today?" Li Gang asked curiously.

"We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally, I wanted to find you for a good gathering."

"You're about to start university soon, so our chances to meet will probably be fewer."

"I brought some good wine today."

"Today, let's drink until we're drunk."

Saying this, Chen Hao took a large mineral water bottle out of his backpack.

Looking at the mineral water bottle in Chen Hao's hand, Li Gang was not angry at all; instead, he was a bit excited.
