Chapter 732

~7 min read 1,258 words

He had already returned to reality.

He had entered the state of overlapping illusion and reality again, but this time, why did it feel like a hint was being given to him?

"That was a vision of the future just now, wasn't it?"

Ning Chen asked the system.

The system pondered for a moment before chiming "Ding" to answer Ning Chen's question.

"I cannot tell you the answer to this question; the authority to observe it lies with you."

Hearing this, Ning Chen did not wish to ask further; even if he did, he feared he would not get any clear answer.

Ning Chen lay back on the bed; this time, he fell asleep directly.

He did not know how long he had slept when a rustling sound suddenly came to his ears.

Ning Chen opened his eyes calmly but did not look toward the source of the sound.

He knew that the source of the sound was already in the room.

The rustling sound continued, as if searching for something, constantly rummaging through his room.

What could there be in his room? He had only just moved in; besides some money, there was nothing.

The person making the sound paid no attention at all to the fact that the person on the bed had woken up, still immersed in their search.

"There is nothing here."

Hearing this voice, Ning Chen raised an eyebrow.

This voice was exactly the same as that of a middle-aged man.

How could the middle-aged man have found his residence and walked in so effortlessly?

Thinking this, Ning Chen suddenly recalled the middle-aged man's strange abilities.

There were still many things he did not know, but he could only learn them slowly.

Ning Chen simply watched the ceiling; when the middle-aged man stood up at that moment, he suddenly noticed Ning Chen's open eyes.

This kid!

When did he wake up!

664, see you when fate allows.

Gulp.

Looking at Ning Chen with open eyes, the middle-aged man felt his heart tighten with nervousness.

Exactly when had this guy woken up?

Could it be that this kid had discovered his presence the moment he entered?

He slowly turned around to face Ning Chen lying on the bed, suppressing the shock in his heart, and faintly voiced his question.

"Kid, when did you wake up?"

Ning Chen made no sound but sat up directly.

He put on his shoes, got off the bed, walked to the window, and touched the dust on it.

"Before you came in."

This statement was a lie.

He had deliberately lied to him.

The middle-aged man did not doubt the truth of what Ning Chen said; he had seen Ning Chen's strength, so if he had known he was coming before he entered, that was not an unacceptable thing.

With this thought, the middle-aged man slightly curled the corners of his mouth; just as he was about to sit down, the door was suddenly kicked open with a loud "Bang!"

Damn.

The middle-aged man, still half-sitting, silently watched the girl kick the door open and enter; he had not expected that the girl could kick the door open and come in directly.

Not only was he stunned, but even Ning Chen was stunned.

He stared blankly at the door slowly falling down and said in astonishment, "You... why didn't you knock?"

The girl looked at him with empty eyes, tilting her head with a confused expression, as if unable to understand the meaning of Ning Chen's words.

"God, I have come to protect you."

As the words fell, the girl turned her gaze toward the middle-aged man, and a killing intent suddenly appeared.

"Whoa, no, I am..."

Before the words were finished, the next second, the girl suddenly rushed toward the middle-aged man; in that instant, Ning Chen saw the small dagger in the girl's hand.

He had not expected that she used a dagger.

"Damn!"

The middle-aged man did not hesitate and jumped straight up.

Immediately, the stool he was supporting with both hands was split in half by the girl.

"Kid! Stop her!"

While dodging the girl's attacks, the middle-aged man shouted loudly at Ning Chen.

But Ning Chen's gaze remained fixed on the chair split in half; this was a rented house.

While dealing with the girl's attacks, the middle-aged man watched her attacks becoming faster and faster; strangely, a smile slowly appeared on her lips.

This guy!

The middle-aged man thought things were going badly and hurriedly leaned forward; immediately, the girl's movements stopped. She looked around but failed to find the middle-aged man right beside her.

Ning Chen simply watched the girl searching continuously, while he could clearly see that the middle-aged man was obviously leaning against the wall.

His eyes met the middle-aged man's eyes.

Seeing the shock in the middle-aged man's eyes, he said calmly, "Stop searching; there is no danger."

Upon hearing this, the girl obediently stopped and stood aside.

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and asked Ning Chen in confusion.

"Boy, can you see me?"

Ning Chen nodded lightly, then looked at the broken door and stool.

Now he didn't want to cause more trouble; he would be dragged in and would have to compensate Sever.

"The door and chair are just a bit of money. With your current foundation, compensating for these is a simple matter."

The system's voice, neither loud nor soft, sounded in his mind; Ning Chen responded with his consciousness.

"This can't be repaired overnight either. I still have to go tell Sever. What a bother."

He was someone who disliked trouble; for some reason, he was particularly averse to trouble.

If only everything were that simple.

Thinking this, Ning Chen slowly looked out the window.

Tonight, it seemed, there was no moon.

By his ear, the middle-aged man's unhurried voice suddenly sounded: "Boy, you are not one of our organization."

That was a statement of fact.

Ning Chen turned around and looked at him indifferently.

"Boy, I came this time simply to ask if you want to join our organization."

Hearing this, Ning Chen couldn't help but frown.

His purpose for coming this time was clearly to blow up Ye Lisi's headquarters; he had no extra time to join other organizations.

Thinking this, Ning Chen shook his head indifferently. "Sorry."

As he finished speaking, Ning Chen lay down on the bed, turned over, and pulled the blanket over himself.

It was already late; if he dragged this on any longer, his sleep would likely remain this poor forever.

Seeing Ning Chen's state, the middle-aged man sighed helplessly and said.

"Boy, since you are unwilling, I won't force you. I just wanted to come specifically to tell you that our goals are the same: to destroy Ye Lisi's organization and ruin his plans."

As he finished speaking, the middle-aged man expected Ning Chen to make some move.

But unfortunately, in the end, Ning Chen gave no indication at all, keeping his eyes closed and covered by the blanket.

Seeing Ning Chen's appearance, the middle-aged man sighed, walked to the window, stepped onto the windowsill, turned back, and said with great flair, "Boy, we shall meet again when fate allows."

The instant he finished speaking, the middle-aged man jumped down.

Ning Chen slowly opened his eyes, looked at the girl still standing nearby, and said, "Go back."

"God, I..."

Before she could finish, Ning Chen impatiently rolled over.

The girl went out; throughout the entire night, Ning Chen kept blowing in the cold wind.
