Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

The top management of Hell Palace gathered in the live broadcast hall of Hell Palace tonight, and they caught some surprising information from the conversation between Huo Wen’an and 002.

Hell Palace, top floor.

Sitting in a luxurious private room, the man elegantly removed the holographic helmet, letting his long golden hair fall to his shoulders.

He tilted his head and beckoned to the attendant standing nearby.

The attendant quickly approached him, bending down, ready to receive instructions. ”Bring me the information on 099 to take a look.” There are not many combat dolls leaving the Toy Pool.

Leaving and daring to return to the Toy Pool is even rarer.

He’s curious to see who exactly this 099 is.

”One moment, Palace Master.” The attendant promptly walked out and quickly returned with the identity dossier of 099.

”Palace Master, please have a look.”

Casually accepting the file, the golden-haired man opened the information booklet of Huo Wen’an, carefully read it, and said in some surprise, ”An unregistered citizen, not a super power user, named Huo Wen’an...”

Huo Wen’an?

This name is unfamiliar.

He stared at Huo Wen’an’s ID photo for quite a while, then the golden-haired man raised his eyebrows in surprise.

”So it’s him! 099, Huo Zui!” Huo Zui is such a melodious name; why change to a scholarly new name?

The man rubbed his fingers against Huo Wen’an’s enchanting and alluring eyes, chuckling lightly. ”Did he think changing his name would change the future?”

Laughable!

The attendant was also curious about who this 099 was, but he dared not ask the Palace Master.

At this moment, two tall and powerful men and a petite woman knocked and entered; all three wore masks.

Seeing them, the attendant lowered his head in greeting: ”Second Master, Third Lady, Fourth Master.”

”Mm.”

The man on the far left, wearing a tiger-faced mask, strode meteorically towards the golden-haired man, curiously asking, ”Palace Master, that 099, did he really walk out from the Toy Pool as a combat doll? Who is he?”

The current Palace Master of Hell Palace is named Yan Jingchen; his adoptive father was the previous Palace Master of Hell Palace, and he took over Hell Palace five years ago.

This is why when he saw Huo Wen’an in the holographic game image earlier, he couldn’t easily recognize him.

The attendant’s mention of Second Master, Third Lady, and Fourth Master referred to Yan Jingchen’s siblings.

Yan Jingchen flicked the document in his hand, ”He, huh.”

”This person, you all must have heard of.” He smiled playfully, revealing a wicked smile like a cat playing with a mouse, ”This person generated enormous wealth for Hell Palace.”

”Oh?” The three felt curious, ”Who is he?”

Yan Jingchen reminded them: ”Twelve years ago, there was a god-level beautiful young boy appearing in the Toy Pool, numbered 099. He created the highest bet limit in the Toy Pool, surpassing 10 billion silver coins.”

”Father once said, he was a very likely candidate for the new king.”

Upon hearing this, the three behind instantly deduced Huo Wen’an’s identity.

Yan Huxiao felt a bit surprised, ”Is he the 099 who was swapped by Canghai’s Laughter for three sets of advanced weapon designs from the Eastern Alliance?”

Those three sets of advanced weapons were the latest high-end weapons collectively designed by weapon experts from the Eastern Alliance over ten years. The Eastern Alliance hadn’t had a chance to manufacture them before they were stolen by the notorious thief ’Canghai’s Laughter.’

However, Canghai’s Laughter kept an elusive presence, coming and going without a trace, even when the Eastern Alliance searched extensively with various capture and measurement devices, they couldn’t catch him.

After this, Canghai’s Laughter became the biggest thief in the Divine Martial Realm.

To this day, the leaders of the Eastern Alliance don’t know that the design drawings they yearn to retrieve are still in Hell Palace.

The ’Third Lady’ was very petite, about 1.5 meters tall, wearing a pink princess dress, with a pink gemstone crown on her head, and a pink fox mask on her face.

She walked to Yan Jingchen’s side, gazing upward at the giant screen on the ceiling of Hell Palace, staring at the anime characters of 099, and asked in surprise, ”This guy barely escaped the Toy Pool, why did he come back?”

Yan Jingchen curled his lips, like a high and mighty king teasing disobedient subjects and slaves.

”He, huh, probably learned some skills from Canghai’s Laughter, thinking he’s grown strong wings and wants to revisit old places and become a king.”

”A king?” The woman lifted part of her mask, licked her lips with a lilac tongue, and said with some anticipation, ”Hell Palace hasn’t birthed a new king in over a hundred years; I’m quite looking forward to it.”
