Super Fusion

Chapter 18: A Blooper That Made Us Laugh and Cry

Just as the assassin fled for his life, several figures who had been merely wandering the street suddenly stopped, roared in unison, and chased after the assassin.

This scene left nearby pedestrians completely bewildered, as no one knew what had happened in that short time.

It was only then that Xu Yu, who had turned away in anger, suddenly realized that his outburst had been too instinctive.

After all, he was facing an armed assailant. Although the jade pendant in front of him had suddenly possessed a strange power that had blocked two sniper shots, once he regained his senses, Xu Yu suddenly realized that the aura shield created by the jade pendant when blocking the bullets seemed to have consumed a great deal of power. One shot had caused the jade pendant to lose its warm and comfortable feeling. After those two short shots, only one of his jade pendants remained, still functional.

This realization jolted Xu Yu awake completely.

"My jade pendant, infused with a wisp of spiritual energy, could stop a bullet?! And then the pendant was destroyed? What was that energy flow just now?"

Amidst his astonishment and uncertainty, Xu Yu's face darkened horribly. He couldn't fathom who harbored such a deep grudge against him, someone who would want to kill him!

Could it be Li Duo? Was he not satisfied after framing him, and now he wanted to kill him completely?

In an instant, not only did Xu Yu's face turn terrifyingly grim, but a chill seemed to creep over him.

Just as his thoughts raced, a voice filled with awe and gratitude suddenly reached Xu Yu's ears from behind, "Friend, thank you for your help."

"Huh?" With these words, Xu Yu froze again, then abruptly turned around to look behind him. He saw the middle-aged man from before looking at him with a mixture of trepidation and gratitude, his eyes filled with utter horror.

However, Xu Yu was shocked because, according to the other party's words, the bullet was aimed at him? Could it be that someone was trying to kill this middle-aged man, not him?

Turned around by Xu Yu, who stared at him with a grim face, the middle-aged man still trembled violently, even though the other party didn't show any obvious killing intent. After witnessing the inhuman abilities of the man before him, he felt immense awe.

Catching a bullet with bare hands, and so casually… if this were told, people would probably believe it. At least the middle-aged man knew that in some circles, there were people who were immune to bullets, but those people were all terrifying figures.

Moreover, according to legend, those people were only immune to ordinary bullets, not able to intercept them as casually and naturally as this young man.

After what had just happened, the middle-aged man was completely horrified. What a joke! This seemingly ordinary young man actually possessed such miraculous abilities?

Regardless of his doubts, facing Xu Yu now, the middle-aged man could only treat him with a mixture of awe and trepidation.

Facing the uneasy and apprehensive middle-aged man, Xu Yu's eyes flashed with a strange light again. But then he realized that the bullet hadn't been aimed at him. He remembered that it had only grazed his cheek; even if he hadn't intervened, it wouldn't have truly threatened his life. Thinking of this, he felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

However, given the current situation, he didn't know how to handle it. His terrifying performance had been discovered by an outsider…

After glancing at the man again, Xu Yu turned and walked away.

"Friend!" The middle-aged man was startled to see Xu Yu leaving and hurriedly called out. At that moment, the beautiful woman behind him rushed over, carrying the little girl, looking at him anxiously. "What happened?"

The woman hadn't seen Xu Yu catch the bullet at all; her attention had been entirely focused on the little girl the moment she fell. She was simply extremely surprised that the middle-aged man had ignored his daughter's fall and instead chased after Xu Yu.

"Don't follow!" Seeing the mother and daughter following, the middle-aged man's expression changed. He whispered a warning and hurriedly chased after Xu Yu. When Xu Yu stopped, the middle-aged man took out a business card and respectfully said, "Thank you for driving away that assassin. I will never forget your life-saving grace. If you ever need anything from the Lin family in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Standing there, Xu Yu glanced at the middle-aged man again. Although his expression was uncertain, he still put away the business card. He looked at it and saw that it only had the three characters "Lin Zhongzhi" and a contact number printed on it.

Lin Zhongzhi? Xu Yu naturally didn't recognize him. His expression remained unchanged, and he simply said, "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

He really wanted to leave as soon as possible. He didn't want to stay any longer after the middle-aged man discovered his terrifying abilities, not to mention that he was also extremely shocked by the jade pendant's abilities. He

originally thought that the jade pendant could sell for a million, which would be an astronomical price, but he never expected it to have such incredible abilities.

Seeing Xu Yu's indifferent expression, Lin Zhongzhi wanted to say something, but in the end, he only said, "Then Zhongzhi won't bother you any longer."

"Okay." Xu Yu nodded, turned and left, but this time, he didn't head towards his destination, but instead turned and walked home.

Seriously? This jade pendant could actually spontaneously generate an invisible aura to protect his life in times of danger? He really didn't dare sell it.

After all, if it were just a simple piece of beautiful jade, that would be one thing; there's no shortage of truly fine jade in the world. But these jade pendants were more than just fine jade; they were magical.

If he were to sell them, it would be hard not to cause a sensation.

Thinking of this, Xu Yu suddenly felt depressed again, because he suddenly realized that while the jade pendant's abilities were good—at least having it by his side was like having an extra life—if he couldn't sell it, wouldn't all his excitement these past few days have been for nothing?

Then…

wouldn't he have to find a job again?

Thinking of this, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

As he walked further away, Lin Zhongzhi, whose face was filled with awe, slowly recovered. He then took out his phone and dialed a number.

When the call connected, a concerned and furious old voice came from the other end, "Zhongzhi, are you injured? Who did this?"

"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine. I know who ordered it, and I'll handle it. But just now, it was truly unbelievable..." Hearing the anger in the voice, Lin Zhongzhi understood. He was furious too. Linzhou was the Lin family's stronghold, and he had been ambushed and nearly killed. However, if it weren't for this incident, he probably wouldn't have discovered that such an extraordinary person truly existed in the world.

"Hmm? What exactly happened?" Upon hearing Lin Zhongzhi's words, the voice on the other end immediately paused, filled with intense doubt.

Lin Zhongzhi immediately coughed lightly and hurriedly explained, "Just now, when I was about to be shot..."

He quickly recounted what had just happened over the phone. Only after explaining everything did Lin Zhongzhi realize that his forehead and back were covered in sweat again. However, he then quietly waited for the conclusion from the other end of the line.
