Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

The father has completely given up on him.

”Father, you promised my mother you would protect my sister and me. Now that I’ve been plotted against by the viper woman and have fallen ill, will you just let her roam free and watch me suffer from the virus?”

”Shut up!” Huo Canghai sat back in the wheelchair, looking at Huo Yunsheng with disappointment. ”Huo Yunsheng, the Divine Concealment Island is not ruled by me anymore. Stop being foolish.”

Having AIDS doesn’t mean immediate death.

If Huo Yunsheng stops his promiscuous behavior and settles down to live a peaceful life, taking care of his body without getting seriously ill, he can live safely for more than a decade.

Huo Canghai no longer glanced at Huo Yunsheng, and tiredly instructed Uncle Chun, ”Let’s return to the Moon Palace.”

Yet Huo Yunsheng seemed to have gone mad, crawling before Huo Canghai and clutching his knees tightly. He looked up and questioned Huo Canghai, ”Father, you’re biased! You only care about that demoness; you’ve long forgotten the feelings between you and my mother!”

”Father, I hate you!”

Huo Yunsheng has lived recklessly, always believing that Huo Canghai would be his lifelong shelter.

Who knew, passing fifty, he would stumble over a woman’s deceit. And this shelter, his father, can no longer cover the clouds above him.

Huo Canghai looked down at this unfilial son, cold-heartedly cutting off the last bit of kindness in his heart. He told Zheng Lie, ”Zheng Lie, take Mister back to his home!”

Zheng Lie glanced at Huo Wen’an.

”Take him back,” Following Huo Wen’an’s command, Zheng Lie silently took out gloves to wear, preventing direct contact with Huo Yunsheng.

He began to drag Huo Yunsheng away, but Huo Yunsheng wouldn’t leave.

He firmly grasped the wheels of Huo Canghai’s wheelchair, uttering curses without restraint, ”Father, do you really think that demoness Andariel loves you? Bah! She doesn’t like you at all!”

”She never loved you; if the man she loved hadn’t died in the chaotic battlefield, would she ever have given you a second glance? You’re just a backup, a scavenger!”

”Watch and see, even until death, you’ll never gain her love!”

”Bastard!” Like performing magic, Huo Canghai suddenly drew a dagger, aiming to stab Huo Yunsheng’s hand.

Seeing this, Zheng Lie forcibly pulled Huo Yunsheng away, helping him evade Huo Canghai’s attack.

Huo Yunsheng turned pale with fright.

Zheng Lie reminded Huo Canghai, ”Mister, his blood is infected.”

Only then did Huo Canghai close his eyes, inserting the dagger into his cane, saying expressionlessly, ”Take him back, lock him up, and without my permission, no one is allowed to release him!”

”Understood.”

Huo Canghai pressed his weary brow, sighing, ”Xiao Chun, let’s go.”

Uncle Chun quickly began to push Huo Canghai back, but Huo Wen’an called them again, ”Wait.”

Huo Canghai raised his eyelids, glaring at Huo Wen’an darkly, asking sarcastically, ”What do you want now? Do you intend to kill me to silence me?”

”I’m not interested in murder.” Huo Wen’an stretched a hand towards Huo Canghai, saying, ”Your grandson-in-law is visiting your home for the first time, as a grandfather, what’s the gift for the occasion?”

Huo Canghai: ”...”

Furious, Huo Canghai laughed, ”You’re also a bastard!” At this moment, he still has the nerve to ask for a gift.

Xu Xingguang was also surprised at Huo Wen’an’s audacity.

But Huo Canghai still instructed Uncle Chun to send the prepared gift to Xu Xingguang.

Uncle Chun didn’t dare to look directly at Xu Xingguang when handing over the item.

He feared Xu Xingguang might poison him.

After this battle, Xu Xingguang completely left the impression of a ’Beauty with a venomous heart’ in their minds.

Xu Xingguang took the box and opened it, discovering a crown inlaid with dark green jewels.

Seeing the crown, Huo Wen’an smiled in satisfaction, and informed Xu Xingguang, ”This is the crown worn by the Princess on the day she left her palace, part of her dowry.”

Huo Canghai giving this item to Xu Xingguang signifies approval of her identity as his grandson-in-law.

Xu Xingguang cradled the box, sweetly smiling at Huo Canghai, and said obediently, ”Thank you for the gift, Grandpa, Xingguang likes it very much.”

”Hypocrite!” Huo Canghai urged Uncle Chun to leave quickly, as he never wanted to see Xu Xingguang again.

But Xu Xingguang said, ”Grandpa, tomorrow morning I will visit Moon Palace to personally thank you and Granny for the generous gift.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Canghai’s expression changed drastically, reacting angrily, ”The Divine Concealment Island is vast, go explore elsewhere, my place is too small to accommodate you, a great figure.”
