Super Fusion

Chapter 1: Kicked Out

"Get out! Get out of here! I, Xu Chong, don't have a son like you!"

Accompanied by a resounding slap, a roar like that of a wild beast echoed from a simply decorated building in Ningcheng. The moment the roar reached them, half the lights in the neighboring houses, which had been brightly lit, instantly went out.

"Old Xu, he's your son!" On the second floor, in front of a wooden door, a woman in her forties, her still graceful face now filled with intense terror, stretched out her arms and pulled a young man in his early twenties behind her. Although her whole body was trembling, she stared intently at the tall, burly middle-aged man inside the door like a mother lioness protecting her cubs.

"I don't have a son like that! Get out of here! If you don't get out, I'll skin you alive!!" With the middle-aged woman's angry shout, the man inside the room suddenly widened his eyes, his round pupils bloodshot, staring fiercely at the young man outside. He took a step to the woman's side and pushed her away.

"Xiaoyu, run!" Startled by the man's action, the woman screamed without turning her head, gripping the door tightly, refusing to budge no matter how strong the man's grip was.

The young man outside seemed stunned, only snapping out of his daze when the woman screamed. Seeing the man's menacing gaze, he froze, unable to believe the man would look at him like that.

"Run! Your dad will really beat you to death!" Just as the young man was stunned, the woman let out another piercing scream, jolting him back to reality. Then, glancing at the man inside, forcefully pushing the woman away, the young man finally snapped out of it.

He... he really did this to him?

His eyes were already brimming with tears. The young man suddenly roared at the man inside, "Even you don't believe me?! Even you don't believe me! I, Xu Yu, never did that!!"

After the roar, Xu Yu's body seemed to weaken instantly, as if that shout had drained all his strength. Then, with extremely angry eyes, he gave the two people inside a deep look before turning and running downstairs.

Even he didn't believe him?

At this moment, Xu Yu's heart truly broke. A man doesn't easily shed tears, but now, hot tears streamed down Xu Yu's face as he ran.

He ran downstairs like the wind, then frantically sprinted ahead, determined to survive. After running over a hundred meters, Xu Yu suddenly felt a wave of overwhelming weakness wash over him. Suppressing the urge to faint, he quickly stopped, placing his hands on a large tree by the roadside, gasping for breath.

Gradually, as he inhaled the fresh air, the world around his began to reappear before his eyes and in his ears.

This was a quiet courtyard. Dim yellow lights streamed down, illuminating the already sweltering autumn air, making it even more oppressive.

"Isn't this Secretary Xu's house? He's been released?"

"Shut up, get out of here!"

...

Just as Xu Yu was filled with anger and resentment, struggling to regain his strength against the tree, a soft whisper suddenly rang out a few meters away to his side. Then, a low, fearful rebuke followed, and then footsteps hurriedly receded into the distance.

Two soft whispers startled Xu Yu awake again. He turned to look, only to see two familiar figures quickly disappearing into the night.

Before, the owners of those figures would always be incredibly welcoming if they met in the courtyard, but now they were avoiding him like the plague. This scene filled the already disheveled Xu Yu with a renewed sense of despair.

At that moment, he desperately wanted to roar to the heavens that he hadn't done it.

But the last shred of reason told him that even if he did, no one would believe him. Indeed, even his own father, Xu Chong, didn't believe him; who else would?

Taking another deep breath, a ruthless glint flashed in Xu Yu's eyes. Since no one in the world believed him, what was the point of staying here?

Supporting his body, which had barely regained a sliver of strength, Xu Yu strode towards the courtyard gate. Even though his steps were unsteady, there was no longer a trace of hesitation.

In a short while, Xu Yu arrived at the gate of the compound. Two neatly dressed guards on either side of him glanced at him, a strange glint in their eyes, but then fell silent, as if they hadn't seen him at all.

Xu Yu, in turn, treated them as if they were invisible and strode out of the compound.

Then, standing at the crossroads outside the compound, he looked back deeply at the inside before turning away again. This time, his gaze was devoid of the hesitation and uncertainty of the past, filled only with unwavering determination.

After crossing an intersection, Xu Yu suddenly pulled his phone from his jeans pocket and dialed a number.

"Brother Yu? You're out?" The call connected quickly, and a gentle, surprised male voice came from the other end.

"Li Duo, why did you hurt me?" Hearing those familiar words, Xu Yu felt a surge of rage. He had never imagined that his younger brother would treat him this way. Even though Li Duo wasn't his biological brother, but an orphan adopted by Xu Chong from their deceased best friend, Xu Yu had never treated him like an outsider.

He never expected that this brother would push him into the abyss.

Even now, though he had escaped safely, he had lost the trust of his family and friends, including his father. Perhaps, in this world, only his mother would still believe in him.

"Ah, Brother Yu, why would you say that?" Hearing Xu Yu's furious words, Li Duo was extremely surprised, and asked with a hint of fear.

"Ha, even now you're still pretending? You brought Lin Xiaoqing here, and that night, I only had one drink, and I got drunk instantly. When I woke up, I was already at the police station? Do you really think I'm an i***t?!" Xu Yu roared into the phone again, his voice low and menacing.

At this moment, he was truly in pain; if possible, he would have skinned the guy on the other end alive.

Unexpectedly, after his low roar, Li Duo on the other end said with deep emotion, "Brother Yu, you're still angry. If you insist that I did it, there's nothing I can do. Fine, let's lleave it at that." With that, the phone went dead.

Hearing the sudden dial tone, Xu Yu was first stunned, then enraged. He slammed the phone to the ground and walked away without looking back.

But as he walked, he almost ground his teeth to powder.

This time, he truly had nothing left—family, career, relatives, everything! The reason for all this was simply that he trusted his younger brother too much, or rather, he never guarded against his younger brother at all. Just thinking about this made Xu Yu want to burst into tears.

Just as Xu Yu walked into the darkness, filled with anguish, on the top floor of a luxurious hotel in Xia'nan Province, a handsome man with a gloomy expression slammed his phone down on the table.

"What? Unhappy? Didn't you already kick that good-for-nothing out of the way?" As the man put down his phone, a pair of snow-white arms wrapped around him from behind, followed by a beautiful face pressed against his cheek. "

No, I'm overjoyed! Hehehe, with the old man's temper, even if Xu Yu is released, it'll be incredibly difficult for him to ever step foot in the Xu family again. This way, everything the old man has in Huaijiang Province will be mine! Hey, baby, I have to thank you this time..." The man burst into laughter at the woman's question.

“Hehe, yes, that’s the son of the municipal party secretary, a typical princeling, a party member. I really took a huge risk this time. If things go wrong, I’ll be in real trouble.” The woman giggled along with the man’s laughter, but then she asked with a puzzled look, “Li Duo, since he’s already been arrested, why don’t you let me insist on suing him? If I insist, he’ll definitely go to jail. Attempted r**e can take several years. That would be the end of him; he’d never be able to recover.” “You don’t understand.” Li Duo smiled again at the woman’s question and said softly, “The eldest son of the municipal party secretary, while his younger brother was congratulating him on his career achievements with his girlfriend, took advantage of his drunkenness and his brother’s urgent absence to attempt to r**e his future sister-in-law. Tsk tsk… The old man can’t bear the shame. As long as he’s fine, no one in Ning City will dare to investigate. But if he really goes to jail, even if the old man has a terrible temper, he won’t just let him go. He’ll definitely investigate thoroughly! If something goes wrong then, we’ll be the ones who are finished.”

"Hehe, if you don't understand, you don't understand. But you're really ruthless, even harming your own brother!" Hearing Li Duo's words, the woman laughed again, her voice soft and delicate.

"There's no other way. If I don't get rid of him, everything the old man has will ultimately belong to him. In other people's eyes, I'll always be surnamed Li. You know, the old man is only in his forties, and he's already the Party Secretary of a prefecture-level city. In the future, he'll definitely become even stronger..." Shaking his head again, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Li Duo laughed loudly. "Now, it's time for me to thank you."

After laughing, Li Duo stood up with a wicked look on his face and ripped off the towel around his waist.

"Ah~" Upon seeing Li Duo's appearance, the woman immediately became terrified, curling up and retreating rapidly, covering her chest with her hands. Her weak appearance only made it easier for him to become wild.

"Hey, you little vixen, still teasing me? Let's see how I deal with you!!"

As the other party moved, Li Duo's eyes indeed burned with lust, and he pounced on the bed with a wicked smile. "

…

Smash!"

In a dark street corner of Ningcheng, piles of discarded items emanated a foul stench under the dim starlight.

Xu Yu, however, was curled up like a wounded beast, his right hand clenched, as he slammed a can of soda onto the ground.

"I didn't do it!!" he hissed hoarsely, grabbing a bottle of beer on his right, snapping the tab open, and then collapsing back towards the street.

He really hadn't done it!

Perhaps, to others, having a father who was the Party Secretary of Ningcheng should have made Xu Yu happy—a prince, a party prince, and the top prince of Ningcheng, naturally enjoying immense prestige. But in reality, his rigid, upright father had never given him much happiness from childhood.

He received mostly scolding.

Poor grades? He was yelled at. Even with good grades, he still received scolding. It seemed that unless he got a perfect score, he couldn't expect a word of praise from that person. In contrast, Li Duo received nothing but praise and encouragement from that person.

He was just a child, needing encouragement and praise too, but he never received any. As a result, Xu Yu's grades plummeted throughout his school years, and for many years, he hadn't seen a smile from that person.

"Thump!"

Xu Yu gulped down a can of beer, his mouth filled with bitterness, but his heart was even more bitter. He slammed the can down on the hard cement floor again, then suddenly grabbed another can and pulled the tab.

Memories of the past flooded his mind like a tide.

"Useless thing, don't ever mention that you're Xu Chong's son again!"

These were the words that person said to him every time he received his report card. Xu Yu truly cried. He had no idea how many times those words had wounded his young heart since childhood.

So much so that he never dared to mention to others that he had such a father.

Even when Li Duo, with outstanding grades, was admitted to one of the most prestigious universities in the country after graduating high school, he could only enter a second-rate university in the province, and he received the same words.

From childhood, he was truly insecure and self-pitying, often licking his wounds alone at night like a wounded beast.

His father—this was his father, a man who never gave him warmth, only rubbed salt into his wounds.

Yet, even so, Xu Yu eventually stood up. Although he spent countless hours and missed many precious things trying to regain the confidence he had lost for so many years, he gradually rose again this year.

However, when he achieved some success, facing the praise and admiration of others nearby, that person still treated him with cold indifference, as if what he had done was simply expected and not worthy of praise.

Xu Yu was used to this; he had long since given up on him and didn't intend to get anything more from him. However, just as he was getting back on his feet, he was dealt a fatal blow by his closest brother.

"Smash!"

Another empty can slammed down, and Xu Yu spat out a mouthful of foul-smelling liquid. But the next moment, his eyes still red, he grabbed a whole bottle of beer.

"You all want me to fall? No! I, Xu Yu, will prove to myself! I can stand up!! Hahaha..." With a maniacal laugh, Xu Yu chugged down another bottle of bitter beer.
