Chapter 501: Chapter 499: Calculation

Jianxiong still had the look of wanting to go, so Lu Chen said, "You come with me to Rong Bai’s."

His tone left no room for doubt, and Jianxiong had no choice but to give up.

Su Mo then headed straight to the arena at the back.

The arena was bustling with noise, and Su Mo spotted Zhao Changsheng fighting a muscular man on the stage at first glance.

After half a month, her entire demeanor emitted a dark and unpleasant mood; Li Qian stood just below the stage, his eyes bright and filled with concern.

Throughout the match, Zhao Changsheng fought fiercely and ruthlessly, pinning down an opponent twice her size to the ground.

Amid the roaring crowd in the arena, she spotted Su Mo, and her dim eyes instantly burst with astonishing brightness.

She leaped down from the stage and rushed towards Su Mo, "Baby Mo!"

Su Mo broke into a smile, reached out to greet her, and embraced her sweaty body.

"You came back early!"

Su Mo nodded towards Li Qian, then patted Zhao Changsheng on the back, "Yeah, let’s go home and talk."

"Sister!"

From behind the three, a male voice rushed towards Zhao Changsheng.

Su Mo felt the woman beside her tense up for a moment, and she quietly tightened her grip on her hand.

Zhao Changsheng turned around to face the man coming toward her, her tone mocking and her expression disdainful,

"Are you, man, a masochist?"

Her words made the other’s face momentarily ugly.

"No matter what happened before, you are always my sister, Zhao Changsheng, you can’t deny it. Dad is not well; go back and admit your mistake; we are still family."

At this, Su Mo couldn’t help but laugh derisively; she wrapped an arm around Zhao Changsheng’s slender waist, raised an eyebrow, "Who do you think you are? She is my family."

Her rudeness made the man’s expression darken, "I am Zhao Li, part of a superpower user team, a Level 3 Fire Ability User. Young lady, don’t be too arrogant."

Su Mo burst out laughing. She let go of Zhao Changsheng and walked up to him, stopping a meter away, slightly lifting her chin and her eyes flashing a cold light, "So what if I am abusing my power? Even Rong Bai must call me sister-in-law. Who are you to question me?"

She was determined to stand up for Zhao Changsheng, and it certainly wouldn’t just be a simple matter of venting.

Zhao Li was infuriated. With more and more onlookers gathering around, he, a man proud and arrogant, refused to be humiliated by a woman.

He pointed at Su Mo’s nose and shouted, "A lowly woman like you should never appear here!"

The Changsheng family devalued women, and this man in front of her was similarly dismissive of women.

Called ’lowly,’ Su Mo remained calm, but Zhao Changsheng’s face looked awful. Li Qian grabbed her hand, which was about to lash out, and his spiritual power burst forth, coiling towards Zhao Li.

Green threads wrapped around his legs.

Before Zhao Li could react, his legs gave way, and he knelt before Su Mo, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Su Mo crouched down, smilingly said, "I’ll accept this grand gesture."

With one hand on his chin, applying some pressure, she softly threatened, "Stay away from Zhao Changsheng, or I won’t mind finding an opportunity to get rid of you."

When she let go, her rounded eyes gleamed with a chilling murderous intent, sending a shiver deep into Zhao Li’s soul.

"You... you’re a superpower user!" he exclaimed, the oppressive feeling making him unable to straighten his back, feeling a wetness in his crotch.

"A mighty Level 3 Fire Ability User, peeing himself in front of a woman, tsk tsk," Li Qian said in a mild tone behind them, his face expressionless.

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, making it crystal clear for the onlookers.

For a moment, the disdainful gazes almost devoured Zhao Li entirely.

Su Mo withdrew her pressure, and without the restraint of Li Qian, Zhao Li could only glare venomously at Zhao Changsheng, who was well-protected, before fleeing in embarrassment.

Su Mo returned to Zhao Changsheng’s side, turned her head towards Li Qian, and asked, "Did you intentionally provoke him?"

Li Qian smiled slightly, "Did I?"

She strongly suspected he was up to no good.

Throughout the journey, Zhao Changsheng was in a bad mood. When they reached the residential area, he merely hugged Su Mo before rushing back to his room.

Li Qian took Su Mo to the rooftop, where she finally understood everything about Zhao Changsheng.

The day Su Mo left for Yellowstone City, a couple brought their son to the refugee camp. Both parents were ordinary people, but their son was a Level 3 Superpower User.

In a flash, Su Mo suddenly remembered those two faces. At the time, she had wondered why they looked so familiar; it made sense if they were Zhao Changsheng’s parents.

Su Mo, with the wind blowing atop her head, peered into the distance and asked, "What are you planning?"

Li Qian turned his eyes towards her and said, "For now, I haven’t allowed Zhao Changsheng to see his parents. I’ve already threatened them."

"Well done."

"Zhao Li joined the team Lin Yao was part of before, and she has rejoined that team"

Su Mo raised an eyebrow, "That Fatty?"

"Yes, just a couple of days ago."

"What do you plan to do?"

Li Qian smiled faintly, a chill in his dark eyes, "I’ve been observing them for a long time now, this Zhao Li and that team, are all tarred with the same brush, they look down on women and treat them as playthings, I’ve paid attention to the women they often visit."

"You’re not planning to make someone childless, are you?" Su Mo brushed her wind-blown hair behind her ear, her eyes curving into a smile.

"Don’t you want to?" Li Qian asked in return.

Su Mo hooked her lips slightly and said softly, "I’d love nothing more."

Being a father yet behaving worse than an animal, now that the person had willingly come right under their noses, they had to give them a little surprise.

"Dying in a woman’s bed won’t do, it would cause trouble for others; cutting off their lineage would be feasible, I’ll take action, and you just need to push things along from behind," Su Mo turned around, exchanging a smile with Li Qian.

Downstairs, Jianxiong and Lu Chen had already returned, and Ling Ye had even run back from training upon hearing that Su Mo had come back.

Everyone gathered together for a lively meal, of course, not without Feng Yao and others sponging off the food.

With Jin Han out, Feng Yao was now helping Rong Bai with some of the security issues, with his team handling most of the security matters in the refugee camp.

With a Level 6 Superpower User in place, the camp was surprisingly well-behaved, and no one dared to cause trouble.

He was back to his old job.

Of course, the main reason was because of Su Mo.

"All the soil has been laid down, we can start farming and building sheds tomorrow," Rong Bai said excitedly at the dinner table, constantly glancing gratefully at Su Mo and the others.

As for this matter, Su Mo didn’t need to intervene, she just had to wait and see the results later.

After dinner, Rong Bai left to take care of business, Su Mo glanced at Zhao Changsheng’s tightly closed room door, stood up, and pulled Lu Chen’s hand, "I’ve finally come back, shall we go out for a stroll together? Then maybe stay at a hotel?"

To Lu Chen, this sounded like an invitation, which delighted his mood. He took her hand, "Sure."
