Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Xu Xingguang anticipated that Huo Canghai would not tell her the truth, but she wasn’t disappointed.

Because she had other clues.

”Mr. Huo, it’s useless to deny. Uncle Xia told me that your father was not only a valiant Captain but also a skilled medical researcher. Therefore, I suspect he once saw this creature in a mysterious place.”

”Furthermore, I discovered a group photo on the wall of photographs.”

Upon hearing the word ’group photo,’ Huo Canghai’s mind conjured an image of an old group photo. He asked Xu Xingguang, ”Are you talking about the photo taken at the racetrack?”

”Exactly.”

Huo Canghai laughed and said, ”What’s so special about that photo?”

Huo Canghai was only two years old when his father passed away.

After the new Pilot chased him and his mother out of Divine Concealment Island, they didn’t move into the house where his father had lived because it was considered unlucky. Therefore, those old photos were fortunately preserved.

After Huo Canghai successfully regained power and moved back to the Pilot Mansion, he stood countless times behind that photo wall, observing those pictures.

He indeed discovered intricate links between his father and the Divine Martial Realm. But he didn’t find anything wrong with that group photo.

To Huo Canghai, it was merely a commemoration photo of old friends.

Therefore, upon hearing Xu Xingguang’s words, Huo Canghai remained indifferent. He said, ”Isn’t it just a group photo? What story are you trying to weave?”

Xu Xingguang made a startling remark: ”My grandfather is in that photo. And ten years ago, my grandfather was still alive.”

”Impossible!” Huo Canghai found it absurd and laughable, he said, ”My father has been dead for ninety years! If your grandfather were still alive, he’d truly be a monster?”

”Yes, perhaps my grandfather truly is a hundred-year-old monster.” But that wasn’t the most shocking thing for Xu Xingguang.

She was now somewhat doubting whether her grandfather had really died.

Back then, the police only found her grandfather’s shoes by the river but didn’t find his body. Her grandfather was a hundred-year-old monster; god knows what secrets he harbored.

Xu Xingguang suspected her grandfather didn’t drown but was taken away.

Seeing that Xu Xingguang didn’t seem to be spinning a yarn, Huo Canghai was also surprised. If Xu Xingguang’s grandfather indeed knew his father, her grandfather’s identity was suspicious.

”Little girl, what exactly are you suspecting?” Huo Canghai was curious about how deep Xu Xingguang’s insider knowledge ran.

Xu Xingguang frowned and said, ”I suspect the appearance of the bioweapon may not necessarily be a plot by Great Sheep Country. It might be more connected to my grandfather and your father.”

She suspected that those wanting to create bioweapons to destroy this world were not of this world, but from the Divine Martial Realm.

Her grandfather and Huo Canghai’s father also had ties to the Divine Martial Realm.

”Sir.” Xu Xingguang had one last question, ”How do you get to the Divine Martial Realm?”

Huo Canghai looked at Xu Xingguang with a complicated gaze and suddenly sighed, telling her, ”The Divine Martial Realm does indeed exist. Little girl, I know you’re a bit extraordinary, but no matter how capable you are, you’re just one person.”

”You can’t change anything, nor become the so-called savior. Knowing too much won’t be of any help to you.”

Huo Canghai closed his eyes and said, ”Go back, let today’s conversation rot in the belly.”

He saw Xu Xingguang lower her head and say nothing, thinking she had taken his advice and decided to give up searching for the Divine Martial Realm.

But Xu Xingguang said, ”Kunze Mountain Range, No-man District, that’s the gateway to the Divine Martial Realm, right?”

Huo Canghai suddenly opened his eagle-like eyes, glaring sharply at Xu Xingguang, and angrily rebuked, ”Xu Xingguang, stop imagining things. Such a mysterious existence as the Divine Martial Realm isn’t something you can easily find!”

The old man’s desperate reaction was precisely what verified Xu Xingguang’s assumption as correct.

No wonder, for thousands of years, no one has been able to freely enter and exit the No-man District.

Because that is the gateway connecting them to the Divine Martial Realm!
