Chapter 301: Chapter 298: So What if You Have 4 Superpowers?

Chen Xing was suddenly singled out.

All eyes in the room instantly fell upon Chen Xing.

Cadar had actually guessed right.

She *had* done it all. The earrings were hidden in a small, close-fitting pocket that she had even sewn shut.

But before she could even speak to defend herself, everyone present began to furiously argue on her behalf. ”She has three Level Eight superpowers and one Level Nine superpower, how could she possibly have an Invisibility Ability too...”

That was the general gist of it.

Vice General Du, in particular, thought it was completely impossible for Chen Xing to also have an Invisibility Ability.

He had always believed that Chen Xing was the one who had controlled the Spiritual Zombie.

That would mean she likely had five superpowers already. Adding invisibility on top of that? Absolutely impossible!

She would be a goddess at that point!

Cadar never imagined that her attempt to frame Xing Yue would backfire so spectacularly.

These people looked like they wanted to eat her alive.

It seemed her impulsive act had offended every single person from Huaxia.

Terrified, she backed away a few steps.

Without her emerald earrings, she felt completely insecure.

”If you continue this nonsense, don’t blame me for being impolite. You should go back to the Li Family and investigate there!” Song Yiguo’s expression was glacial.

He had tolerated her wanting to search his Superpower User.

But now she was targeting his Level Nine Healing Ability User?

Cadar couldn’t believe someone could be so fiercely protective.

’So what if she has four superpowers? Big deal!’

’I used to have a spatial ability. It’s gone now, but I’ll get it back sooner or later!’

’You all just wait and see!’

She shot Chen Xing a resentful glare, then fled as if her life depended on it.

In truth, she was terrified they would tear her to pieces.

Cadar’s incident was thus left unresolved, and no one paid it any more mind.

The matter of Situ Yuanyuan, however, erupted on the third day.

She was dead!

When Chen Xing heard the news, she could hardly believe it.

Situ Lei Hao, leading a large contingent of men, barged directly into the Song Family’s medical facility. ”Which one of you is Xing Yue? Give me back my daughter!”

The team leader was terrified, stepping aside with a pounding heart.

Healing Ability Users were incredibly rare; no one would dare to harm one lightly.

’To think that a Level Eight Superpower User, cultivated with the full support of the safe zone, was murdered?’

”I am!” Chen Xing wasn’t surprised at all that Situ Lei Hao would come looking for trouble after learning of his daughter’s death.

’Although this has nothing to do with me, it’s probably related to the Song Family Army.’

’After all, Situ Yuanyuan had nearly killed her just a few days ago.’

’Vice General Du knew about it, and so did Song Yiguo.’

’It’s even possible that Song Yiguo sent someone to do it.’

’After all, the gap between a Level Eight and a Level Nine Healing Ability User isn’t something that can be overcome in just a year or two.’

’If a Level Eight successfully killed a Level Nine Superpower User, his loss would be immense.’

”However, your daughter’s death has nothing to do with me!” Chen Xing didn’t believe for a second that Situ Lei Hao didn’t know who she was.

There were so few Healing Ability Users, and besides, she had been in the Capital City for some days now.

”If not you, then who else?” Situ Lei Hao’s face was contorted with rage. ”The only person my daughter has offended recently is you...”

”Don’t just say whatever you want!” Chen Xing cut Situ Lei Hao off. ”She didn’t offend me. *She* was the one who couldn’t stand the sight of me!”

”Heh heh!” Situ Lei Hao sneered. ”You were nearly killed. Weren’t you the one who suspected it was Yuanyuan’s doing?”

Chen Xing laughed as well. ”I’m not like your daughter. I’m not the type to kill someone just based on suspicion!”

Situ Lei Hao was speechless.

”What are you trying to say?”

”Some people get murderously jealous. I don’t. I won’t kill someone so easily unless my life is in direct danger! Do you really think your daughter had the ability to kill me?” Chen Xing truly had never considered Situ Yuanyuan a worthy opponent.

”You... you’re looking down on my daughter?” Situ Lei Hao was so angry he was about to jump out of his skin.

”You’re not going to use ’looking down on people’ as an excuse to kill me too, are you?”

When had Situ Lei Hao ever been treated with such disrespect?

Just then, Song Yiguo arrived, running over with Vice General Du and the others. ”Uncle Situ, it’s rare for you to grace our Song Family with your presence. Why come to this little place instead of visiting me?”

”I suspect she killed my Yuanyuan!”

”What? Your daughter is dead?” Song Yiguo’s shocked expression was almost begging to be punched.

It was exaggerated and completely undisguised.

It made Chen Xing burst out laughing.

At that, Situ Lei Hao exploded with rage.

His daughter was dead, the killer was still at large, and someone was laughing?

”How dare you laugh at my daughter?” The full force of his fury was directed at Chen Xing.

”Sorry, I wasn’t laughing at your daughter. I was laughing because Song Yiguo’s expression was hilarious!”

Song Yiguo was speechless. ’Song Yiguo?’

’Is she getting a little too full of herself?’

Only then did Chen Xing realize that, out of habit, she had called him directly by his name.

”Commander Song, my apologies. A slip of the tongue!”

Vice General Du, however, looked at Chen Xing with astonishment.

He felt that the way ”Song Yiguo” rolled off Chen Xing’s tongue was so smooth, as if she had always called him that.

But... that was impossible.

He had followed Song Yiguo for over a decade, and he had never seen her before.

”I am sorry for your daughter’s misfortune. I hope you can restrain your grief, Uncle Situ.” Song Yiguo made a gesture of invitation, which was in fact an order to leave.

Situ Lei Hao’s face alternated between pale and dark with rage.

’This Song Yiguo,’ he thought, ’needs to be eliminated.’

He had originally thought that with General Song gone, the Song Family would completely fall apart.

Who would have thought that a little brat would manage to single-handedly pull the Song Family back together?

How long has it been, and his wings have already grown so strong?

”My daughter, Situ Lei Hao’s daughter, will not have died in vain!” Situ Lei Hao pointed an angry finger at Song Yiguo before leaving with his men.

Chen Xing could sense that Situ Lei Hao’s killing intent had been aroused, and it was directed at Song Yiguo.

How could Song Yiguo not see what Situ Lei Hao was thinking?

’But... it remains to be seen who will make the first move.’

He was the one who had killed Situ Yuanyuan.

She had harbored a deep hatred for Xing Yue and had even come close to killing her. That alone was enough to warrant her death.

More importantly, he planned to take down the major families one by one.

The Situ family was the first.

The ones who had caused his parents’ deaths back then were the three major families. It wasn’t that he didn’t know; he had deliberately hidden his own strength to bide his time and grow more powerful.

He felt that the time was now.

Situ Lei Hao was in disarray now; it was the perfect time to kill him.

”You just stay put in the medical facility. Don’t you dare leave the Song Family’s territory without my permission!” Song Yiguo even assigned four offensive-type Superpower Users specifically to protect her.

Although this had nothing to do with her, given Situ Lei Hao’s fiercely protective nature, he would certainly not let her off the hook.

”I think you’re in more danger than I am,” Chen Xing reminded him.

Judging by Situ Lei Hao’s state, he hated Song Yiguo to the bone.

Song Yiguo looked down at Chen Xing, feeling that her tone was strange. It was nothing like the way a subordinate should speak to a superior.

Moreover, her words carried a sense of familiarity, as if they had known each other a long time ago.
