Villain: I Can See Destiny

112: Chapter 112 Dream NineJiang Hao looked at Jiang Meng, who was looking at him with a serious expression and saying she believed in him, and said, ”Thank you.”

His brows furrowed slightly, looking somewhat unnatural; it seemed he rarely said things like that.

Jiang Meng didn’t mind and said enthusiastically, ”Do you know, I have a similar dream too, so I believe in you.”

Jiang Hao timely put on an interested expression.

She continued, ”My dream is to develop a combat suit that allows ordinary people to possess D-rank or even C-rank strength when wearing it.”

Jiang Hao was silent for a moment. ”C-rank is unlikely, but theoretically, D-rank is possible.”

”Really?” She hadn’t expected her whimsical idea to actually receive recognition.

”Of course it’s real. The Jiang Family has already developed a combat suit that allows ordinary people to possess E-rank strength, though the cost is too high.”

Jiang Meng’s mouth hung open in surprise after hearing this; she hadn’t expected that someone had already created it.

Afterward, she became dejected and stopped speaking. Seeing her so uncharacteristically quiet, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but ask, ”What’s wrong with you?”

Jiang Meng said despondently, ”I’m still at the theoretical stage for F-rank, and you all have already made E-rank.”

”Can you show me your design?” Jiang Hao paused and then added, ”If it’s inconvenient, then never mind.”

Jiang Meng didn’t mind. ”What’s inconvenient about it? You all have already developed E-rank.” Saying this, she took out her phone, unlocked it, and tossed it to Jiang Hao. ”The data is all in here.”

Jiang Hao took the phone and read through it carefully.

After a long while, Jiang Hao said excitedly, ”Did you design all of this by yourself?”

”Yeah.”

”You really are a Prodigy. Your design is completely different from ours, yet it’s feasible. If we combine them, who knows how much cost we could save.” This was the second time he had lost his composure today; if those familiar with him saw this, their jaws would surely drop.

”Re... really?” Jiang Meng felt a bit embarrassed by the praise.

”Classmate Jiang Meng, I represent the Jiang Family research institution and sincerely invite you to join. Are you willing?” Jiang Hao said seriously.

Jiang Meng’s heart pounded like thunder. ”I would love to.”

”After you enter university, someone will come to pick you up.”

The two found their views coinciding on many things, giving them the feeling of being soulmates. It wasn’t until school ended that Jiang Meng said reluctantly, ”See you tomorrow, Jiang Hao.”

Jiang Hao felt a bit bitter. Tomorrow? He wouldn’t be himself anymore. However, with Jiang Meng’s intelligence, she should be able to tell.

...

On the way home, Jiang Hao was blocked by some people.

”Jiang Hao, what did you do to Bai Song yesterday? She didn’t come to school today because of it. Did you bully her?” The person in the lead said viciously to Jiang Hao.

From his memories, Jiang Hao knew that the yellow-haired leader was named Lei Qing, a classmate, and apparently some kind of cousin to Bai Song.

”I don’t know.” Jiang Hao really didn’t know why she hadn’t come to school today.

Lei Qing didn’t care about that. He signaled the few people behind him and prepared to teach Jiang Hao a lesson.

Jiang Hao’s gaze turned cold. Did they really think he was easy to bully? Cousin or not, he would beat them first and worry about the rest later.

Three seconds later, the four were sprawled on the ground, wailing. Jiang Hao hadn’t used any abilities; he had defeated them using pure combat techniques.

Jiang Hao had his hands in his pockets. ”Still want to play?”

”No more, no more.” Lei Qing shook his head desperately.

Jiang Hao didn’t say anything else and walked away directly. They were just a few ordinary people; he didn’t care.

Seeing Jiang Hao leave, Lei Qing finally made a threat, saying to the others, ”When my brother comes back from the academy, he will definitely teach this kid a lesson. Daring to bully my sister-in-law, he must not want to live anymore!”

The others chimed in one after another, ”Yeah, Brother Lei’s older brother is a C-rank ability user and an outstanding talent at the academy.”

”Hmph, no matter how good his fighting skills are, can he beat an ability user?”

”Let him be arrogant for a while.”

...

Jiang Hao was lying on the bed, hesitating whether to sleep, when his phone rang.

He picked up the phone. It was a call from Jiang Feng, his cousin and one of the God Slayer squad members, who was currently filling in for his position.

After hesitating for a moment, he answered the call.

”Jiang Feng, how did you know this number of mine?”

Hearing the familiar voice from the other end, Jiang Feng felt excited. He glanced at the girl in red beside him, and seeing her nod, he said, ”It was Little Sister Yanran; she pestered Aunt to get it.”

Jiang Hao looked understanding. It was just as he had thought; in all likelihood, she was right there on the side.

”Brother Hao, how did you know it was me?” Jiang Feng was a bit curious. Brother Hao shouldn’t have added him to this phone.

”Doesn’t it display the caller ID?”

”...”

”Cut the crap. Get to the point. Why did you call?”

”Brother Hao, are you currently in Hangzhou?”

”Yeah.” It was perfectly normal for them to know his location. The Heaven-Opening Sword was his own unique sword technique, and it would be strange if they didn’t know about something as big as the escape of Sky Tiger.

”Brother Hao, why haven’t you come to see us for the past two years?” Jiang Feng was puzzled. Beside him, Xia Yanran was nodding like a chick pecking at rice, her ears perked up.

After a silence, Jiang Hao said, ”My body had some problems.”

”Is it about what happened last time?”

”Yeah.”

”Brother Hao, I’m sorry, we dragged you down.” Jiang Feng felt very guilty. If they hadn’t held him back last time, with Brother Hao’s strength, he would have definitely escaped. Beside him, Xia Yanran also lowered her head.

”We are all in the same squad; saying that makes us strangers,” Jiang Hao reprimanded.

”Brother Hao is right. Also, our squad has a newcomer. His name is Wang Lin, a Genius who was A-rank lower tier upon Awakening. Now our squad has all seven elements gathered. Captain, do you want to evaluate him?”

”No need. I trust you to handle it.”

Hearing Jiang Hao say this, Jiang Feng felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.

Xia Yanran hit him, and he snapped out of it, looking at her as she tried hard to signal him with her eyes.

Jiang Feng understood in a second. ”Brother Hao, Little Sister Yanran wants to go to Hangzhou to see you. What do you think...”

”Tell her not to come. I won’t be seeing her for the time being,” Jiang Hao emphasized.

Jiang Feng glanced at Xia Yanran. ”You know her temper; I can’t stop her.”

Jiang Hao was silent for a moment. ”Tell her that even if she goes, she won’t see me. Don’t worry about the rest.”

”Brother Hao, there is one more big thing to tell you,” Jiang Feng said sorrowfully.

Hearing this tone, Jiang Hao also became solemn.

”The ability users in North America have been wiped out. When the ability beasts from there arrive here, we... Brother Hao, come back quickly. We need you.”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Hao’s heart couldn’t settle for a long time. He clenched his fists and punched the bed fiercely, gritting his teeth. ”Hong Anqing, we’ll see about this.”

If it weren’t for the other him, who was incredibly weak, he would have loved to go to the frontier immediately and fight the ability beasts.

On the other end, Xia Yanran raised her fist at Jiang Feng. ”What bad things did you say about me to Brother Hao? What’s wrong with my temper? This Young Miss is gentle and beautiful; Brother Hao has always known that.”

”And you actually dared to slander me. It is unforgivable.”

Seeing flames surrounding her, Jiang Feng was so scared he turned and ran.

”Captain, please come back quickly! If you don’t come back soon, before the ability beasts even attack, the base will be burned down by this little devil!”
