Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”Huo Family Leader?” Xiao Qiao’s knowledge of the Mortal World all came from a documentary updated every ten years, but those documentaries were content released only after official review.

They know whatever the official wants them to know.

Regarding the Mortal World, Xiao Qiao only understands superficially; his impression of the ’Huo Family’ is just limited to one thing—

The Huo Family is the financial overlord of the Mortal World.

The Huo Family doesn’t participate in politics, yet all countries in the Mortal World greatly respect the Huo Family.

”How could someone like you end up in the Toy Pool?” Xiao Qiao couldn’t comprehend.

Huo Wen’an gave a self-deprecating smile and said with a teasing tone, ”The story is quite melodramatic and can’t be finished in less than half a day. In a nutshell, it’s like a crown prince wandering outside gets sold to an enemy country by treacherous ministers to suffer.”

Xiao Qiao understood, ”With a big family and vast business, you made too many enemies and became the unlucky one.”

Huo Wen’an nodded.

”But it doesn’t make sense.” Xiao Qiao, having spent years on Bai Ze Island, also knows some insider information that ordinary people don’t. He knows the Mortal World and the Divine Martial Realm don’t communicate. ”You’re from the Mortal World, how could you be sold to the Divine Martial Realm? As far as I know, without an official pass from the Three Great Alliances, no one can cross the barrier.”

”How were you sold to the Divine Martial Realm?”

Huo Wen’an’s smile grew cold; he glanced at Xiao Qiao and said, ”Indeed, without an official pass from the Divine Martial Realm, how could I have been sold to the Toy Pool?”

Xiao Qiao stared at his smile, a shocking thought formed in his mind.

”Someone from the official circles of the Divine Martial Realm’s Three Great Alliances is colluding secretly with people from the Mortal World.” He took a deep breath and said, ”The Three Great Alliances only allow that exception for the Ying Family from the Central Yu Alliance to visit the Mortal World once every ten years; other alliances are never allowed to visit the Mortal World no matter what.”

”If there really is a special case requiring visiting the Mortal World, an application report must be filed, and only after approval by the official review group of the Three Great Alliances can one go to the Mortal World.”

Xiao Qiao pondered Huo Wen’an’s expression, sensing the scent of conspiracy. ”Why would people from the Divine Martial Realm secretly collude with people from the Mortal World?”

”Why?” Huo Wen’an sneered, ”Isn’t it obvious?”

Xiao Qiao is from the Eastern Alliance; he knows very well that resources there are scarce, pressing them to find new immigration sites to solve their survival predicament. His clever mind quickly grasped the hidden intention behind these matters.

”Honestly, tell me, what do you intend to do upon returning to Divine Martial Realm?” Xiao Qiao realized that destroying the Hell Palace was only the first thing Huo Wen’an planned to do upon returning to the Divine Martial Realm.

”I’ve already said, restructuring Bai Ze Island, restructuring the Divine Martial Realm.” Huo Wen’an maintained his joking tone, but Xiao Qiao saw unprecedented seriousness in his dark eyes shaped like peach blossom.

He’s really going to restructure the Divine Martial Realm, even if it costs him his life.

Curiosity overwhelmed Xiao Qiao as he asked, ”What do you mean by restructuring?”

How did Huo Wen’an reply?

He said, ”Those who wish to submit will submit, and those who don’t, I’ll persuade, and for those who don’t yield to reasoning and are obstinate...”

”Then what?” Xiao Qiao was quite curious.

Huo Wen’an spoke casually, ”They’ll all be restructured.”

Xiao Qiao: ”...”

Xiao Qiao felt this restructuring was not literal, but likely meant eliminating dissenters and arranging them neatly on the ground.

”099, are you a Super Power User?” When Huo Wen’an left the Toy Pool, he was still a regular person, struggling fiercely to survive each day.

It’s unknown if he is now a Super Power User.

Huo Wen’an raised his eyebrows, ”Probably not.”

Xiao Qiao laughed, ”You, an ordinary person, dare to dream of restructuring the entire Divine Martial Realm. How unashamed you are, such dreams are even beyond reach.”

Huo Wen’an crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, staring at the red light over the surgery room, ignoring Xiao Qiao’s sarcasm.

”I won’t introduce myself as you already know my basic situation.” Xiao Qiao had already informed Huo Wen’an of his family background and didn’t need to repeat it.

”I remember everything.”

”Hmm.”

Xiao Qiao pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He shook out one for himself but remembered to ask Huo Wen’an before lighting it, ”Do you smoke?”

Huo Wen’an looked at the emergency room door and reminded Xiao Qiao, ”This is a hospital.”

”Didn’t expect you to be someone who abides by the law.”

”Smoking shortens life, smoke less.” Having experienced life and death, Huo Wen’an now cherishes his life, smoking very little.
