A guest who was not a guest came to Xue Chen's home. It was Edward Comeion who came from the United States. Naturally, he wanted to have the superpower that he had longed for. He hoped that with Xue Chen's help, he could work with Jesse.
Ka, like Dawson, has become a person with special powers.
This was also the first time Edward came to Haicheng City in person. When he stood in front of Xue Chen, Edward's heart was very complicated. Back then, his baby was stolen to this city, and his daughter and son both came to look for it.
, but there has been no whereabouts. By the time there is definite news, it is already too late.
All that seemed to have happened yesterday, but now, everything has changed, and there is no need to think about it anymore. Now his mind is filled with the extraordinary and powerful powers. He has already seen his daughter's methods.
, Dawson's tyranny was even more shocked to the bottom of his heart by Xue Chen's unpredictable ability.
Xue Chen was not surprised by Edward's arrival. Regardless of the reason, Edward did fire the shot and passed the test, so it might not be wrong for him to give Edward a chance to try. As for whether he can succeed, then
It depends on Edward's own destiny. Of course, he hopes to succeed.
"Okay, we'll start tomorrow. You can go back to the hotel to have a good rest and recuperate."
After receiving Xue Chen's answer, Edward returned to the hotel with two bodyguards.
Also returning to the hotel was Dawson.
Since Dawson came to Haicheng City, the two have not seen each other and have had two video calls.
Seeing Dawson again, Edward found that Dawson had undergone some changes, as if he had become deeper and more powerful.
"Dawson, I'm very happy for you that you can successfully become a superpower." Edward said with a gentle face and a happy expression.
Next, Edward asked Dawson some questions, most of which were about the process of obtaining powers. He hoped to gain some experience from Dawson and compared them with the answers he got from his daughter Jessica, hoping to find out what he could do.
The way to success.
Dawson didn't say much, and only said a few words: "If you don't succeed, you would rather die."
Edward's eyelids twitched, feeling as if his daughter had said something similar. Obviously, the two of them were the same, with a crazy pursuit of powerful power.
But, can he do it? Edward hesitated in his heart. He is already over fifty years old and has passed the age of competitiveness. Even if he has gained super powers, can he still come back to the world? After a period of time, he will be stable.
It seems that he no longer wants to run around in life...
The next day, Xue Chen met Edward again. After chatting for a few words, he roughly felt the hesitation in Edward's heart. It seemed that his pursuit of supernatural powers was not very strong, and this was a taboo!
If you want to obtain superpowers, you must have a strong enough belief, but that is still not enough. You also need some opportunities. And if Edward's belief is not enough, how can he succeed? It can be said to be a waste of time.
"Mr. Edward, I think there is no need to start, because the result is already determined and it will not succeed." Xue Chen looked seriously at Edward, who already had some gray hair, and said.
Edward did not refute, his expression was slightly complicated, and he hesitated before speaking: "Xue Chen, have you ever thought about it, if that damn thief hadn't stolen the Eye of God from me, everything you have today would be possible.
It will be mine."
"Oh?" Xue Chen leaned against the sofa and stared at Edward with no unnecessary expression on his face, looking at him calmly.
"At the beginning, I had realized that the Eye of God was a treasure, and I was even prepared to give birth to a hybrid child to obtain the magical ability of the Eye of God, but now you...have taken it away."
Edward wanted to say the word "rob", but thinking of the current situation, he held back and said it more euphemistically.
"That makes sense." Xue Chen nodded with a playful smile, but then raised his eyebrows, "But, I once said that the Eye of God in your mouth is not fundamentally yours.
It's an ancient cultural relic that belongs to China. It was smuggled by you, and then it was stolen and then fell into my hands. Even if it is not returned to the original owner, it is not right to say that you have taken advantage of it.
Wrong, so I can only say that you have no connection with the Eye of God."
"Alas." Edward sighed deeply. He knew very well that it was too late to say anything now. The fact had already happened and everything was a foregone conclusion.
But he felt really aggrieved, especially now that most of the assets that once belonged to the Kemeon family had fallen into the hands of the other party. However, his daughter and Dawson, who had been raised since childhood, were also in the hands of the other party.
Working with his subordinates, this... really made him helpless.
After glancing at Edward, who had his mouth closed and a look of fatigue and deep helplessness on his face, Xue Chen's eyes flickered and he said calmly: "I think it's better for you to enjoy your old age now."
Edward was speechless.
"Well, from now on, you will get 20 million US dollars from me every year until you leave this world. I think this money is enough for you to live well. The total value of the assets I took away from you is
It’s only about 300 million U.S. dollars, which means that after fifteen years, you can get it all back, and you don’t have to worry about the risk of bankruptcy due to poor asset management.”
Edward's eyes lit up when he heard Xue Chen's words, and there was an excited look on his face: "Are you telling the truth?" If that's true, then it seems to him that it's great. He is only fifty now.
In the early years, not to mention fifteen years, even twenty-five years is no problem. If you can live on a stable income of 20 million US dollars a year, it will be great.
Seeing Edward's disbelief, Xue Chen didn't say anything. He naturally had his own considerations in doing so. Now, Jessica and Dawson are two people he values very much, and they are both very capable, and Edward is the two of them.
As a father and elder, he didn't want Jessica and Dawson to have doubts and entanglements because of Edward.
To put it simply, the annual 20 million can be regarded as a "buyout" for Jessica and Dawson. With 20 million, Edward will be able to settle down and completely enter a state of peace of mind for retirement.
It won't affect him.
After getting Xue Chen's promise, Edward took a flight back to the United States the next day.
After sending Edward away, Xue Chen accidentally learned the news from Wang Dong that Mr. Ning Junshan was ill and his condition didn't seem to be good.
After receiving this news, Xue Chen suddenly understood why Sister Xuan didn't come to trouble him or play with him during this period. It was probably because of this reason. He also felt secretly ashamed in his heart. There were so many things that happened during this period that he didn't come earlier.
Got the news.
On the same day, he went to the Ning family's large villa in person and met Ning Xuanxuan. As expected, he had been staying with her grandfather Ning Junshan.
Xue Chen also visited Ning Junshan and asked about the situation. Fundamentally speaking, he was not sick, but a decline in body function caused by natural aging. He originally thought that if he was sick, he could help, but in this case
It's very difficult to help.
He compares a person to a car. If a certain part of the car is damaged, it can be repaired by replacing it with a good one. However, if a car is damaged due to its age and distance, the whole car will be damaged.
The condition of the car is not good, even the best car repairman can't do anything about it.
Moreover, Ning Xuanxuan has always had a rejuvenation solution in her hand, and she has already given it to Mr. Ning. The effect is still somewhat good, but it cannot reverse the loss of life.
Seeing the old man Ning Junshan with pale hair and almost all his teeth, Xue Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how terrible time is. Even though he now has the ability to reverse time, he is still full of awe.
Moreover, even his ability cannot truly resist time. He can regress the state of an object, including people, but there is a limit after all.
He also has no ability to restore the abilities of a person who naturally ages and dies, because the reversal he accumulates every day is limited, and the time it can regress on a single person's body is less than one day.
"Xue Chen, tell me, why do people die?" Standing under a tree in the courtyard of the villa, Ning Xuanxuan asked with her lips pursed and her eyes a little sad.
Xue Chen really didn't know how to answer this question, and he could also feel the emotions in Ning Xuanxuan's heart. Presumably, everyone would have such a question when their loved ones are about to pass away, hoping that their relatives and friends can stay forever.
"Sister Xuan, you don't have to be too negative. I think the old man is in good health. He will get better after taking a good rest. Nothing will happen in a short time."
Ning Xuanxuan nodded and forced a smile: "It's actually the turn of a little brat like you to comfort me."
Little brat? Xue Chen had a black line on his head and said speechlessly: "Although you are older than me, you are not a few years older. You are only four years old. Why am I a brat?"
"Gee, even if you are one year older than you, you are still a little brat in front of me." Ning Xuanxuan raised the corners of her lips and snorted, looking very proud.
"Okay, I'm a little brat. What about you, Sister Xuan? You're a big brat?"
Tao's buttocks were swept.
I have to say, it is indeed bigger than his.
"Bah, where are you looking?" Ning Xuanxuan pouted and rolled her eyes. She moved her body a little, trying to hide her buttocks, but she couldn't hide it. There was some unnatural twisting.
style,
"Ha, let me see how you hid it, don't you believe you can take it out and put it in the safe?"
