Chapter 552 World Invasion: Cannon Fodder in Infinite Terror VS The Ghost King Killed by the Origina
Xiao Huai'an did not stay in the hospital. The Xiao family bought a piece of land in the suburbs of Kyoto and built a resort area. They kept several villas for themselves, and Xiao Huai'an is now living there.
Fortunately, the resort area and the Kyoto branch are in the same direction, and it only takes about half an hour to drive there.
Su Jinyue and the other two followed Xiao's father into the villa where Xiao Huai'an lived. A man dressed in a suit and glasses, who looked like an assistant, was holding documents and was about to leave.
Upon seeing Mr. Xiao, the other party immediately stepped aside and respectfully greeted, "Hello, Chairman Xiao."
"Hmm," Mr. Xiao nodded, "Is Huai'an still busy with the group's affairs? Is there something troublesome?"
"The group is currently operating well, but there's a minor issue with one project that requires Mr. Xiao's decision, which is why I had to report this to him..."
Mr. Xiao sighed. Huai'an was just too responsible. Even though he couldn't move his body anymore, he still couldn't let go of the group's affairs.
However, Xiao Huai'an knew his own son well; he was not one to listen to advice. As long as it didn't affect his health, he could only let him go.
Mr. Xiao chatted briefly with his assistant before letting the assistant go about his own business.
Father Xiao led Su Jinyue and the others directly to Xiao Huai'an's bedroom.
“Huai’an, I’ve found another powerful sorcerer. She works for the Special Affairs Bureau and she’s sure to find out the reason for your paralysis.”
As soon as Su Jinyue entered the room, she saw an incredibly handsome man lying on the two-meter-long bed in the bedroom. Perhaps due to his health condition, his skin was somewhat pale and his body was somewhat frail.
However, his calm and composed expression showed no sign of worry about his paralysis.
Xiao Huai'an's legs were already immobile, and now his condition has worsened. He can't move anything below his chest, only his head and arms can still move.
Xiao Huai'an, Su Jinyue pondered this name, which differed from Xiao Jing'an by only one character.
Upon meeting Xiao Huai'an, Su Jinyue became certain that the Xiao family Xiao Huai'an belonged to was the same Xiao family that Xiao Jing'an had been from a thousand years ago.
It wasn't just because of their names, but also because of the similar appearances of Xiao Huai'an and Xiao Jing'an, and the similar aura in their souls.
Hearing the noise at the door, Xiao Huai'an braced himself on the bed with both hands, struggling to sit up and lean against the headboard.
Seeing this, Xiao's father quickly went to help, but Xiao Huai'an refused his father's help and completed the operation on his own.
Even in such an embarrassing situation, Xiao Huai'an showed no embarrassment whatsoever, and his every move still carried the noble air and pride nurtured by his aristocratic family.
"I'm sorry, I've been neglecting you due to health reasons."
Wu Shuyao and Meng Beiye quickly said they didn't mind, as Xiao Huai'an's health was already like this, and they understood.
Xiao's father introduced the two sides, and Xiao Huai'an was already used to his father's various actions.
He is paralyzed due to physical reasons. Although the specific cause of his illness cannot be found yet, there is no need to think about ghosts or spirits.
Confucius said, "I do not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits," but he understood Xiao's father's feelings, so no matter who the other party found, he did his best to cooperate.
After Xiao's father finished his introduction, Xiao Huai'an did not object. Now it was up to Su Jinyue.
When Xiao Huai'an saw that the sorcerer was so young, a hint of disappointment flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he quickly recovered. He had never had any hope for sorcery anyway, and no matter who the person was, it was just to put his father's mind at ease.
Su Jinyue stepped forward. The first thing she noticed was the similar appearance of Xiao Huai'an and Xiao Jing'an. What attracted her most next was the extremely dense purple aura above Xiao Huai'an's head.
In metaphysics, purple is a color of nobility. Given the degree of purple aura Xiao Huai'an possesses, he would have been more than qualified to be an emperor in ancient times.
Unfortunately, Xiao Huai'an was born in modern times, and the excessive purple aura brought him not only wish fulfillment and smooth sailing, but also a burden on his body.
Xiao Huai'an's health problems stemmed from an excessive amount of purple energy, making his fortune too strong. However, his body couldn't withstand such a heavy fortune, which caused him to be unable to walk and even become paralyzed in bed.
Su Jinyue clicked her tongue. How much favored must Xiao Huai'an be by the Heavenly Dao to have such a powerful destiny?
Currently, Xiao Huai'an is the luckiest person among all the people Su Jinyue has met.
But what caught Su Jinyue's attention the most was not the Heavenly Dao's favoritism towards him, but the fact that the edges of his rich purple aura were slowly being stained with red aura.
According to Su Jinyue's observation, the red aura was not transformed from the purple aura, but rather slowly gathered from elsewhere.
And this red aura is the culprit that caused Xiao Huai'an's health to deteriorate!
When Su Jinyue first met Xiao's father, she noticed that his luck was waning, which meant that someone was causing trouble behind the scenes. This was one of the reasons why Su Jinyue readily agreed to help the Xiao family.
After meeting Xiao Huai'an, Su Jinyue realized that Xiao's father's fortune had actually flowed to Xiao Huai'an!
Because it was an abnormal flow of Qi, it appeared red in Xiao Huai'an's eyes.
Xiao Huai'an originally possessed abundant purple energy, but his personal fortune kept him just on the verge of physical collapse, preventing him from becoming unable to walk or paralyzed.
However, Xiao's father's fortune was artificially transferred to Xiao Huai'an. Once the balance was broken, Xiao Huai'an's body also deteriorated rapidly.
If left unchecked, Xiao Huai'an will soon become paralyzed, fall into a coma, become a vegetable, or even die!
The most urgent task is to sever the connection between Xiao's father and Xiao Huai'an's fortune, and ideally, to make the fortune that Xiao's father had transferred to Xiao Huai'an flow back to him.
However, before proceeding, Su Jinyue had one more question to confirm.
"You mean, we need relatives who are related to Huai'an by blood to come over?"
"Am I not good enough?"
Xiao's father didn't understand why they needed to find someone related to Xiao Huai'an by blood, so he asked directly.
Su Jinyue patiently explained to Xiao's father, and also answered questions for Xiao Huai'an, Wu Shuyao, Meng Beiye, and others.
"...That's the current situation. I asked the other members of the Xiao family to come here to confirm whether only your fortune was transferred to Xiao Huai'an, or whether the fortune of the entire Xiao family was transferred."
If it's inconvenient for you to come over, a video call would be fine too, so I can see you in person.
Based on the severity of Xiao Huai'an's condition, Su Jinyue is more inclined to believe that the entire Xiao family's fortune has been absorbed by Xiao Huai'an; otherwise, his body wouldn't have become paralyzed so quickly.
After hearing Su Jinyue's words, Xiao's father video-called the Xiao family as quickly as possible.
In recent years, the Xiao family has suffered a decline in talent, with the main branch having only one heir and very few members. To be more accurate, Xiao's father from the collateral branch was also video-chatted.
Just as Su Jinyue had predicted, the entire Xiao family had been set up, and the fortunes of all Xiao family members were converging on Xiao Huai'an.
