Capítulo 15: Huge changes in the world
Chapter 15
…
I felt a sudden nudge on my side as the blonde girl suddenly woke me up from my deep thinking. The old man is still looking at me and it seems that he is waiting for me to act. However, it was just my fantasy to stand up for Lee Wanwan and teach that young cousin of hers a lesson.
However, I knew that if I do that, my strength would be exposed and that would cause me more headaches.
"Hey, they are bullying Sister Wanwan… You should do something about it." The blonde girl, Shi Jenny whispered beside me.
I did not want to do anything while the old man is looking; this is because I could sense some hidden power within the old man. I could even see a slight trace of Qi in his body which he seems to be able to control really well.
The young man who is talking loudly seems to have gained more confidence due to the silence of everyone around him as he suddenly lifted his voice.
"As you can see grandfather! This woman is truly a disgrace to our family! We should punish her for being too insolent and shameless and has dragged our name down…"
I could not take his words anymore as my blood is beginning to boil. The sudden change in my expression seems to have triggered something from the old man as he suddenly glared at the young man.
"Shut up!" the old man shouted.
Then suddenly within my mind, I remember what that Dongfang Lin said.
"If you knew who orchestrated this…" I knew that he is referring to something and judging from the reaction of the people in this house from seeing Lee Wanwan, I think it should be one of them.
I could not help but chuckle.
Everyone in the surroundings suddenly shifted their gazes towards my direction and look at me with glaring eyes.
"What's so funny you beggar! Get out of here! You're not welcome here." shouted the young man named Lee Baitong.
I just lifted my head and looks at the people around me. I then took out a phone in my hand and dialed a number.
Then suddenly, the phone of the middle-aged woman who was throwing sarcastic remarks towards Lee Wanwan and her mother a while ago suddenly rang.
When the middle-aged woman saw who the caller is her expression turned ugly. Everyone shifted their gaze towards her and they showed a confused look. When the old man saw her expression, he frowns.
"Who is calling?" the old man asked with a stern voice.
"It's nothing..." she said as she cut off the call.
But then suddenly her phone rang again. This time, the old man appears near her and held her hand.
"Why is Dongfang Lin calling you?" the old man said with a frown.
Suddenly, the old man answered the phone.
"So it was you… You are the one who orchestrated Lee Wanwan's kidnapping…" I casually said then cut off the call.
The old man looks at me with confused eyes. He then looks at the woman on his side. Everyone is now also looking at the woman and me with confused gazes.
"You…" she suddenly pointed towards me with a trembling hand.
"Oh, by the way, this is Dongfang Lin's phone… we took it from him," I said casually.
"And you are the last person he called… Nice... very nice… To ask someone to kidnap your own niece and rape her… What a nice aunt… Miss Lee, you have a really nice family." I said with a sarcastic tone.
"If these are my kin, I would have already buried them a long time ago…" I muttered casually while looking at the phone in my hand.
The woman's hand shook as she suddenly lets go of her phone when it suddenly rang once again.
The young man seeing the phone falling suddenly took a step forward and then step on her mother's phone breaking it into pieces.
"You cannot slander my mother!" he shouted while pointing his fingers at me.
"You are just a beggar! How dare you run rampant in our family! Guard! Tame him down!" Lee Baitong shouted.
However, this time, the old man did not maintain his silence anymore and seem to have the gist of the situation. I could see his expression turning serious and his eyes are filled with anger.
"Enough!" his shout echoed through the air and everyone covered their ears as if feeling pained.
"Hmmm… Controlled Sound Qi Attack…" I thought as I noticed the airwaves in the surroundings vibrated.
"Everyone dispersed! I don't want a word of this event going out… And you,… the both of you,… I will talk to you both later…" the old man said while glaring at the mother and son pair.
As they dispersed, the old man walks near us.
"I am sorry to display my family's shameful act… little girl from the Shi family, and this honored guest… I apologize..." the old man said with an apologetic expression.
"Grandpa Lee is too humble. It's fine…"
I just nodded my head in response.
"Wanwan, you must have suffered… This grandfather of yours is useless…" he said with a deep sigh.
"Father what are you saying? Don't be like that… I can understand why my cousin is doing this. But I don't blame you for it. It is their decision and wicked action… But we are still a family in the end… so…" Lee Wanwan's mother said with a tone of sadness.
"Young man… May I have your esteemed name?"
"I am Wei… Elder Lee, you can just call me young Wei…"
"Ah… You are young yet sensible… I admire powerful people like you who are still humble. I welcome you to the Lee family mansion. Please…" the old man said as our group walks inside.
I stayed in the Lee mansion that night and had a nice meal with Lee Wanwan and her family. Shi Jenny and her butler went home after dinner that night.
Right now, I am standing on the second-floor balcony while looking at the city landscape in front of me. It has been a year since I've last seen such scenery.
While doing so, I heard someone's footsteps walking behind me.
"Elder Lee…" I greeted.
"Hmm… I really love this sight. Ever since I was younger, I dream of living a short but good life… just like this. But as I grow old and experienced a lot of things, I now dream of having a longer and healthier life…" the old man said while looking at the cityscape.
"This world has changed a lot… the air… the atmosphere… something is changing in our world." the old man added while looking at the starry sky with a slight smile.
"Qi… right?" I said as I could somewhat get what he is talking about.
In fact, I too noticed this for a while now. The trees, the air, and the skies, everything in this world are slowly being covered with Qi.
Although in the cities, the pollution is somewhat corroding the Qi, yet in the forests and the outskirts of the city, Qi energy is getting thicker. I also noticed that the beasts in the forests are being affected by this as their growth and mutation seem to be progressing rapidly.
"You are correct… As you can see… many clans who have been practicing martial arts have already felt this… For my clan, the Lee clan, only I and a few of our elders could manipulate Qi. But I don't think it is enough… In the near future, I think this world; will become a haven for strong."
"Elder Lee… Do you mean that many people are going to be stronger than a normal human, right?"
"Yes… just like you. I think you are far stronger than you look."
I did not deny nor confirm his words.
While thinking this far, I suddenly remember the old man who helped me. If only he did not give me his Qi at that time, he might even be able to survive. But that is only my assumption.
While we are watching the surroundings and feeling the air, I suddenly picked up some strange movements from outside of the mansion walls.
"Elder Lee… I think we have some visitors…" I said with a faint smile.
"Hmm… These old bones of mine are unable to handle those people… If my young friend can help, then it would be my honor." When I heard him saying that, I almost laughed.
How could he say such a blatant lie? I know that this old fart just wanted to see me in action to gauge my strength. But how could I show him my card? I just turn around and left the terrace.
I did not use any speed or shown my strength. I just borrowed a handgun with an affixed silencer, and then silently eliminated all those people who are trying to sneak inside the mansion.
It seems that they are some people from the Dongfang family. But I did not bother with the rest of the investigation and left.
After that, I went back to my room and rested.
I decided to turn on the large flat-screen TV in my room.
From there, I have learned and discover that what the old man said is true. The world is really changing, and in just a year's time, powerful people have appeared.
As I watched and gathered information on TV, I soon caught a piece of news about City H. With interests in my eyes, I listen and focus my attention on the news. And from what I heard in that piece of news, my mind almost could not believe such a thing is actually happening.
Those people, whom I have marked and are very familiar to me because of our grudge, have appeared. And it seems that their leader Yu Bai has gained a name for himself as the most powerful man in the city.
When I saw him lifting a car, my eyes became hostile and my desire to fight was aroused.
