“Although I don’t know why you people are so obsessed with that kid, getting involved in children’s games seems rather inappropriate for someone of your status, doesn’t it?”
Xing Yao was currently sitting on a lazy sofa with a magical girl theme.
Although his words carried a strong warning laced with gunpowder, looking at him now… for some reason, White Lion couldn’t help but think of Black Dragon back at the organization.
Did all these top-tier leaders have some kind of peculiar hobby?
White Lion couldn’t figure it out.
There was no doubt that Black Dragon was a die-hard magical girl fan.
However, he at least knew how to restrain himself. At the very least, when meeting important guests, he would put away all the things that shouldn’t be out in the open.
Although White Lion had come uninvited this time, he was still publicly recognized as the leader of the Dark Organization.
Yet this guy didn’t even bother to hide the magical girl merchandise that could damage the President’s image.
He didn’t even move a finger.
From the moment White Lion barged in without greeting, the man hadn’t made any reaction at all, as if he had predicted it long ago.
The only time he showed any emotion was when White Lion swiped the pack of cigarettes from his desk.
When White Lion reached out, he merely frowned in mild displeasure.
White Lion had interacted with Xing Yao a few times before, but not often—mostly when accompanying Black Dragon to meet him.
Yes, Xing Yao knew of Black Dragon’s existence and was well aware that White Lion was not the real leader of the Dark Organization.
Yet Xing Yao had never exposed any of it, as if he had agreed to play this house game with Black Dragon.
“Another old fox…”
White Lion commented.
These words instantly reignited Ying Guang’s fury.
It was clearly you who barged in without greeting first! And now you’re insulting my grandfather! If this isn’t asking for a beating, what is?!
Ying Guang immediately exploded and attacked.
Seeing this, Xing Yao couldn’t be bothered to say anything else and simply let his granddaughter go after White Lion.
Ying Guang grabbed her long-handled microphone-shaped magic wand, swung it a few times in the air, and then charged straight at White Lion.
Her momentum was like a modern-day female Xiang Yu—anyone who saw it would immediately back away.
White Lion hurriedly dodged as Ying Guang charged at him like a madwoman.
They were currently on the opponent’s home turf. He absolutely couldn’t act recklessly. If he accidentally injured the old fox’s granddaughter, the trouble would be enormous.
White Lion dodged while Ying Guang chased. The two of them started playing a game of tag inside the office.
Xing Yao still wore that “I don’t care what you do” expression.
He treated the noisy sounds of their scuffle like lullaby music and closed his eyes to rest.
“Hey, old man! Control your granddaughter!”
“Young people are full of energy. It’s perfectly normal. Just consider it as helping this old man look after the kid.”
“You call this ‘full of energy’?!”
White Lion dodged left and right, perfectly avoiding Ying Guang’s attacks every single time.
Ying Guang stomped her foot in frustration, but her hands didn’t slow down at all.
The long microphone-like magic wand even created afterimages as she swung it.
While chasing, she spun the wand in her hand into a full circle.
Seeing this, White Lion stopped dodging and simply started running.
“Damn it! Did your daughter-in-law give birth to an attack helicopter?!”
He complained while fleeing.
“Hey, I don’t like the sound of that. Yuan Cai, put more strength into it.”
Seeing her grandfather finally take her side, Ying Guang increased the force in her swings.
As she swung, sparks suddenly flew from the magic wand in her hand.
“It’s hot!”
Startled by the sudden change, Ying Guang quickly threw the spinning helicopter wand away.
“Shit!”
White Lion turned his head and saw a magic wand trailing sparks, with faint traces of peculiar golden current, flying straight toward him.
Fortunately, White Lion was agile. He quickly dropped to the ground as the sparking wand grazed past his scalp.
Boom—！！！
The spinning, sparking wand smashed through the office wall and flew off into the night sky.
“What happened?”
Seeing this, Xing Yao, who had been dozing on the lazy sofa, finally couldn’t sit still.
As Xing Yuan Cai’s grandfather and teacher, he knew his good granddaughter’s abilities all too well.
Moreover, that power just now—he had never seen anything like it in his long life!
That power… definitely did not belong to Xing Yuan Cai!
“This… this… this…”
Ying Guang stared at the spot where her magic wand had disappeared into the distance, momentarily at a loss.
She wasn’t worried about losing the wand itself. It was bound to its owner.
If she couldn’t find it, a single thought would bring it back to her side.
Of course, if she wanted it the hard way, she could cancel her transformation and transform again, which would refresh the wand in her hand.
It was quite convenient.
But that wasn’t the main point.
White Lion and Xing Yao didn’t know what was going on, but Ying Guang did.
This familiar aura—it was exactly the same golden current Li Chi had used when resisting her probe earlier! How was it appearing on her now?!
“Yuan Cai, what exactly is going on?”
Faced with her grandfather’s questioning, Ying Guang honestly recounted everything that had happened that night, putting special emphasis on the promising talent she valued greatly.
After listening to it all, a trace of interest finally appeared on Xing Yao’s face.
“Possessing unknown special power, and his little sister is a magical girl…”
Xing Yao fell into deep thought.
Such a good seedling, and he had never noticed him before? He had been too negligent! He needed to quickly bring (scratch that) invite him over!
A greedy excitement gradually surfaced on Xing Yao’s face.
Seeing Xing Yao like this, White Lion’s heart sank.
Oh no! I messed up the mission!
White Lion knew very well that if this old fox discovered Li Chi’s special nature, he would definitely come poaching!
At that point, he alone wouldn’t be able to stop him.
This situation could not be allowed!
White Lion hurriedly said, “Old fox! Let me make this clear first—that kid is our Dark Organization’s reserve executive! Don’t get any crooked ideas!”
Xing Yao asked, “So, does that mean little friend Li Chi has already joined your Dark Organization?”
“You—” White Lion gritted his teeth, glaring furiously at Xing Yao. “Why are you calling him so affectionately? Do you really think he’s one of yours?!”
White Lion naturally couldn’t admit it. If he did, the original goal would completely fail. Li Chi’s identity as Dark Fang would be exposed because of him, and even more trouble would follow.
“We’ve already reserved him! No snatching allowed!”
“Oh my, you say no snatching and that’s it? This old man feels that little friend Li Chi and I share some mysterious connection in the dark. He might be a destined friend of mine. I’ll go find that kid right now!”
The moment he finished speaking, the magical power within a ten-kilometer radius suddenly became restless.
Clusters of light particles began gathering around Xing Yao.
The light particles attached to Xing Yao’s back. As they accumulated, a pair of pure white wings formed behind him.
“Bastard, what do you think you’re doing?!”
White Lion immediately drew his Ice King Sword and stood alone blocking the hole Ying Guang had smashed in the wall.
Two extremely powerful waves of magic power confronted each other in the narrow office.
The force was so great that the entire building began to tremble.
As for Ying Guang… the clever girl had already made a tactical retreat.
If a real fight broke out at this level, it was not something an idol magical girl like her could get involved in.
Staying would only add to her grandfather’s burden. It was better to run away quickly.
