NOVPUBChapter 477 -477: You’ve Disturbed My Bath
“Who… who are you? Are you here to catch me too?” The little boy’s timid gaze still held a strong sense of vigilance.
“What the heck, is my popularity that low among these little brats?” Fang Jueyu had originally thought his dazzling entrance would be met with admiration from the child; it seemed he had overestimated.
“World’s richest man, Fang Jueyu, haven’t you heard of me?” Fang Jueyu stared at the child, his eyes as wide as a copper bell.
“Heard of you, but I thought you were an old man.”
“Uh… has your village just got internet recently?” Fang Jueyu actually felt a deep sense of defeat coming from this kid. “Never mind, looks like you’re in some trouble. Let me help you sort it out first, and we can chat later.”
Upon hearing this, the boy’s previously dim eyes suddenly sparkled with life. He had thought for certain that this group would catch him and he would have to face that woman who seemed like a demon.
Although the older brother who suddenly appeared seemed a bit off in the head, it appeared he was like his mother and seemed willing to help him.
“Who are you?” The two superpower users gazed up at the suddenly appeared young man. There was no way the waterspout could have inexplicably frozen over; the only explanation was that this young man was also a superpower user—and a strong one at that.
“You don’t recognize me either?” Fang Jueyu really found it odd; even in isolated places like Saint-El, people knew him. Did these folks never engage with news or the internet?
“No matter who you are, sir, we hope you’ll hand over the child and not meddle in matters that don’t concern you. Otherwise, you’re likely to bring trouble upon yourself,” one of the superpower users warned in a threatening tone.
“Oh?” Fang Jueyu cast a cold glance at him, his immense spiritual power coalescing into a large, scarlet hand that lifted the superpower user into the air.
“You…” He struggled valiantly, using every ounce of his power to fight against the scarlet giant hand, but it clamped down on him like a vise, leaving him unable to move no matter what.
It was then they realized they had kicked a steel board; this young man’s power was far beyond theirs.
“Sir, we don’t have any grievances with you. Why are you hindering our business?” The other superpower user’s tone revealed a hint of submission.
“No grievances?” Fang Jueyu sneered. “I was just peacefully bathing here, and suddenly you come around causing trouble, saying there’s no grievance? You disturbed my bath; do you realize?”
“Bullshit!” Inwardly, the two superpower users cursed Fang Jueyu ten times over. This was an open sea—no village, no town—who in their right mind would bathe here?
Besides, who just dives into the sea full-clothed for a bath? Clearly, he was here to cause trouble!
“Don’t believe me?” Fang Jueyu retrieved from himself a towel, a bottle of shampoo, a bottle of shower gel, and a bar of soap. “See, I’ve got all my tools!”
He pinched the soap, and with a “slip,” it fell from his hand. “Oh, oops, the soap dropped. Can someone help pick it up?”
“Holy crap… was this guy really here to bathe?” These guys were just superpower users from Earth; they had no clue Fang Jueyu possessed storage space technology.
“Who… is he, really?” The little boy looked at Fang Jueyu with a bizarre expression, and if he had to use two words to describe him, they would be powerful and idiot.
If Fang Jueyu knew what the boy was thinking, he might have just tossed the brat into the sea for daring to think of him as a madman despite his good intentions of rescue.
“Alright, I’m in a good mood today, don’t to want to kill anyone—feel free to scram!” Fang Jueyu released his spiritual grip on them.
But the two superpower users had no intention of giving up. Their mistress had instructed them to bring the boy back no matter what, and they’d already lost two fellow superpower users in the attempt.
Returning empty-handed meant harsh punishment from the family. Such a significant loss was too much even for a country to bear, let alone a family.
“Sir, we must remind you—we are members of the Huskith family. Consider the consequences of opposing us,” one of them stated. “If you hand over the boy now, you will be an honored guest of the Huskith family upon visiting Australia!”
A superpower user likely exceeding the fourth tier was not someone even the Huskith family wished to provoke lightly.
“What chicken? Never heard of it,” Fang Jueyu only knew that the Reharter Family handled Fang Family affairs in Australia.
“Host, the Huskith family is a local Australian superpower user family. Due to the vastness of the country’s land, not all superpower forces are controlled by the government, and there are at least twenty-something superpower user families of varying sizes. Huskith is considered fairly large.”
“However, all families have a common overseer—the Reharter Family. They hold a status similar to the ancient martial arts association of Huaxia.”
“Oh, so they’re like a subordinate of our family’s subordinates?” Fang Jueyu had never really taken such families seriously. “I’ll give you one minute to decide—shall I help you leave, or will you leave yourselves?”
Fang Jueyu lightly waved his finger, and a water column over ten meters wide shot skyward from the sea. It quickly froze into a lifelike ice dragon gazing down at them.
It seemed less an ability-formed ice dragon and more like a genuine fierce beast. Its presence made their superpower flows become awkward and choppy.
“Dare to leave your name!” Judging from the day’s circumstances, it wasn’t likely they’d take the boy, but they needed something to report to their family.
“Haha!” Fang Jueyu waved his hand, and the ice dragon turned to drifting ice shards. “My name is Fang Jueyu. If you wish to find me, feel free to come to Huaxia anytime!”
“He is Fang Jueyu?” They couldn’t recognize the face, but the name wasn’t unfamiliar. To ordinary people, Fang Jueyu was the world’s richest man, a music genius, a scientist. But in the superpower user world, he represented entirely different meanings.
He was someone not to be trifled with! Since the Antarctic Relics incident, tales of Fang Jueyu’s power had spread among superpower users.
They sighed. Perhaps even their family’s strongest superpower user might not be able to retrieve the boy from Fang Jueyu.
When Blair achieved the Divine-level Superpower User status, he came to Australia and defeated all its superpower users!
Later, it was heard Blair went to Huaxia with others, but after returning, he vanished as though he had evaporated from the world. Most notably, two Huaxia people appeared among the federal senators.
Those with brains could guess; he likely hit a wall in Huaxia!
No one knew what happened, but they believed Huaxia would forever be a forbidden zone for superpower users.
“Let’s go!” The two superpower users reluctantly glanced at the boy beside Fang Jueyu before turning to leave.
“You… were you really just here to bathe?” The little boy quietly looked at Fang Jueyu for a long while before squeezing out this question.
Fang Jueyu rolled his eyes. “Do I look like an idiot to you?”
The little boy hesitated, then solemnly nodded…
