Hidden Talent

***

"So, it goes like this..."

"Yes, Master Zhang. But fortunately, your grandson managed to escape safely from the ambush of the scoundrels who tried to harm him," explained a man kneeling before a middle-aged man whose body trembled and sweated profusely.

Exhaling smoke from his cigarette calmly, Master Zhang then asked in a calm tone, "So, how many people were sent by those scoundrels?"

"It... There were about more than 200 people, Master Zhang..."

Upon hearing that, the pipe held by Master Zhang instantly shattered due to his spontaneously strengthened grip.

Crack—

Remaining silent for a few moments while looking at the sky calmly, Master Zhang decided, "Give them a worthy lesson. Let them know the true meaning of offending the Zhang family."

The man in the suit kneeling before the old man lifted his head enthusiastically and then responded firmly, "Understood, Master Zhang!"

Then, the man in the suit left Master Zhang alone in the room.

"Huff..." Blowing air out calmly, he gazed at the moon peacefully for a few moments before murmuring to himself, "Louis, my grandson, does he possess cultivation talent and unconsciously use it to fight against them...?"

The old man simply gazed into the empty sky and pondered deeply throughout the night.

And yes, he was Louis's grandfather whom he had met before. Though he appeared old and frail, he actually possessed formidable qi and physical strength, surpassing many in his ranking.

"I was initially somewhat skeptical of the innate cultivation talent from my daughter marrying a Spanish man without cultivation talent. But it seems my cultivation abilities still descended to my grandson through my daughter..."

Smirking

As he thought about it, he smiled slightly with confidence.

"It seems the history of Zhang Family cultivation will continue to exist and will not cease in my time!"

Yes, he was very confident about that!

Then, he drank his Angciu with joy.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, the Great Lord was raging and berating many people who were prostrating before him with half their lives seemingly leaving their bodies.

"You fools!!! How could you fail in the mission to break the bones of one person when you have more than hundreds of people?!" he roared madly while slamming his hands onto the table until it shattered.

Crash-!!

Turning towards the man who had previously fought against Louis with his katana, the Great Lord approached him and grabbed him by the collar.

Grip-!

"You!! Didn't I give you 1000 people to capture that bastard, yet why did you only send hundreds?!!"

Upon hearing the question, he answered with an expression full of doubt, "Great Lord, there is actually a reason why we didn't bring 1000 people. It's because suddenly the street surveillance became tighter, so we had to reduce the number and thought that 300 people were more than enough to capture such a brat like him. However... It seems the information about him was inaccurate."

The Great Lord, hearing this, roughly threw the man aside and then sat back on his throne and demanded, "Listen!! I am very disappointed in your performance!! You couldn't even capture one little brat!"

"Now, I want you to quickly capture that kid and bring him before me! By any means necessary!!"

As everyone heard this, their eyes lit up slightly, as it seemed there was hope to redeem their mistakes and escape from the three generations of torture from their boss.

"We understand, Great Lord-!!"

And then, they left, leaving the Great Lord alone sitting on his throne.

"Ermmm…" Louis slowly opened his eyes and then sat up, stretching his body calmly.

Yawn~

"Hurrppp… hahhh, such a pleasant sleep last night," he murmured, noticing that the bed beside him was now empty, and he heard the sound of water splashing from the bathroom.

Standing up slowly and glancing at the table next to the window, he saw a cup of tea and coffee already prepared there.

"Aigoo, that's quite nice of a very understanding girl~" he mumbled again with a thin grin, then walked over and sat on the sofa by the window, sipping the coffee with a satisfied expression.

Slurp~

"Hahhhh… which worldly pleasure are you indulging in…"

He spoke as if he were an old man.

Shortly after, Lily emerged from the bathroom with a towel still clinging to her body. Seeing this, Louis whistled teasingly at the girl.

"Stop it, Young Master. Let's not play around now, because it's time for us to go to campus and attend class, do you understand?" Lily explained, pulling Louis up to stand and leading him into the bathroom.

"To campus? I just had an accident, can't I get a sick leave? And how can I go to campus without a car?" Louis asked, looking puzzled.

"Don't make unnecessary excuses! Also, I've already booked a taxi. So, hurry up and shower!" she commanded with a cute stern expression in Louis' eyes.

"Kuhuhuhhhh, alright, alright, I'll shower first~, you'll accompany me, won't you? I still have wounds to cover when showering."

Hearing that, Lily responded softly, "Yes, of course I'll help you, Young Master~"

"Wohooo~!!!"
