Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

It was just past four in the morning, right in the middle of a deep sleep.

Ming Feng was used to waking up at six every morning. Being woken up at four, he opened his eyes, not with sleepiness, but with a fiery rage wanting to kill someone to vent his anger!

Commonly known as morning grumpiness.

Normally, Ming Feng would tie up Ming Lan and whip him until six o’clock to get over his morning grumpiness.

But today was an exception.

Because he heard Xingguang’s name from his grandson’s mouth.

Did something happen to his mother?

It was like a bucket of ice water pouring over his head, instantly extinguishing Ming Feng’s morning grumpiness. He quickly threw off the blanket, rushed barefoot to open the door, and urgently asked Ming Lan, ”What happened to my mother?”

Ming Lan was stunned, ”What?”

Mother?

Ming Feng realized and said, ”I just had a dream about my mother.”

Ming Lan didn’t expect that at his grandfather’s age, he could still dream about his mother who’d been dead for over a hundred years.

Ming Feng had been sleeping deeply and didn’t clearly hear what Ming Lan was saying, only Xingguang’s name.

If it could make Ming Lan disturb him at this time, something might really have happened to his mother.

Ming Feng asked Ming Lan, ”What happened to Xingguang?”

Ming Lan quickly reported what he’d seen in the live stream of the Battle Royale: ”I discovered her five or six hours after the Battle Royale had started. That fool got sold to the Toy Pool and didn’t know the danger, and even had the mood to eat grilled fish there!”

Ming Lan thought Xingguang was still unaware of her situation. ”Grandpa, how can she be so silly? Sold and unaware of the danger.”

”Do you think it was that girl from Golden Gate City?” Xingguang had unresolved issues with the daughter of the City Lord of Golden Gate City, and besides Miss Jin, Ming Lan couldn’t think of anyone else who would have a motive.

”Is this the big issue you’re talking about?” Ming Feng’s tone sounded indifferent.

It’s not that he didn’t care about Xingguang, but he didn’t care about the Toy Pool.

Ming Lan, however, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He raised his voice to educate Ming Feng about the Toy Pool: ”Grandpa, you must have heard of the Toy Pool. It’s a morbid place where lives are treated as games for amusement. Xingguang being sold there and targeted by that Snow White Killer, she is almost certainly going to die at his hands.”

”That Snow White Killer is a notorious psychopathic killer who loves torturing and killing fair-skinned and beautiful kids. Xingguang, with her looks, perfectly fits the Snow White Killer’s preferences. Can she have a good ending at his hands?”

”Although Xingguang has the superpower of telekinesis, that Snow White Killer is also a Super Power User. She’s doomed this time.”

Thinking of Xingguang’s situation now, Ming Lan was extremely anxious.

Although he wasn’t familiar with her, Xingguang was a descendant of his clan, he couldn’t just watch her being tortured to death.

”I know what the Toy Pool is.” Ming Feng scolded his grandson, saying, ”I knew about the Toy Pool before you were even born.”

But Ming Feng always resisted those games that took lives for amusement; he never watched the Battle Royale.

Ming Lan ran a bar called ’Knowing Bar’ on Bai Ze Island. His team held the strongest information in the Divine Martial Realm.

Ming Lan was only watching the Battle Royale live stream on the Dark Desire website to gather the latest news about the Toy Pool.

”So, grandpa, do we save Xingguang or not?” Ming Lan could tell that his grandfather had an indescribable sense of importance towards Xu Xingguang from Wuyuan Town.

If he wasn’t aware that his grandfather was living a celibate life at his old age, Ming Lan might have suspected that his grandfather wanted to take care of that girl.

Ming Feng said playfully, ”You just said that the serial killer ’Snow White’ wants to torture Miss Xu?”

Ming Lan nodded, ”Yes! When I came down to find you, that ’Snow White’ was already getting ready to attack Xu Xingguang.” But that fool Xu Xingguang was completely oblivious to the danger, even planning to enjoy a good sleep!

She really didn’t take the Toy Pool seriously.

”Heh.” Ming Feng gave a mysterious laugh and said, ”Ming Lan, go place a bet on Miss Xu, as much as you can!”

”Huh?” Ming Lan was dumbfounded, ”Bet on Xu Xingguang? Grandpa, do you think Xu Xingguang can counter-kill that Snow White?”

Where did grandpa’s confidence in Xu Xingguang come from?

”Counter-kill?” Ming Feng snorted coldly, disdainfully saying, ”That’s not called counter-kill, that’s called crushing kill.”
