King of Assassins-Chapter 748 - 553: Killing with Words

Su Le was only four years old, still particularly innocent. Although she could express herself very clearly and accurately, Su Rong paid no attention.

Married for four years, her relationship with Gao Xuan was very stable. As a husband, Gao Xuan was also very competent. He could take good care of their home and was considerate towards her.

On the outside, Gao Xuan acted low-key, never causing trouble, and would never mess around. Moreover, Gao Xuan had a particularly sharp eye; every direction he chose was very promising.

The few investments Su Group made under Gao Xuan's guidance all turned out to be huge successes. The group's performance in recent years had grown rapidly. At the same time, it also secured the group a position in the field of the internet.

Through these investments, Su Rong had firmly established herself in the position of chairperson.

Therefore, Su Rong was very confident in Gao Xuan, never thinking he would have any problems, and she didn't take her daughter's words seriously.

Su Rong put on her thin nightdress, ran over to hug Gao Xuan's waist, and whispered close to his ear, "I heard you were especially happy today, what's the good news to share with me?"

Gao Xuan turned around and embraced Su Rong's slender waist. Although she was thirty, Su Rong's skin was still so good, her waist still so slender, and her chest was still quite ample. However, inevitably, there was a slight sag.

This naturally beautiful version of Su Rong was full of the allure and charm of a mature woman.

Gao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm going to ascend to become an immortal!"

"Really?"

Su Rong's bright eyes sparkled, and she said with a giggle, "When one person achieves enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Since you're becoming immortal, you have to take us mother and daughter with you!"

Gao Xuan paused for a moment and said, "Okay, everyone becomes immortal."

"Make sure you don't go back on your word..."

Su Rong was used to joking with Gao Xuan, deliberately playing along at this moment.

"Ah," she hadn't finished speaking when Gao Xuan tossed her onto the large, soft bed, making her scream.

Gao Xuan leapt over like a hungry tiger, "First, I'll send you to the Western Heaven of Ultimate Bliss!"

"Hmph, come on then, let's see if you've really got what it takes..."

More than an hour later, Su Rong lay soft and limp, her bright eyes filled with satisfaction and joy, "You're so powerful, you didn't take any potion, did you?"

Gao Xuan bent his arm to show his biceps, "Golden Spear, Iron Arhat, if you're not convinced, let's do it again."

"I surrender, I surrender..."

Su Rong hurriedly admitted defeat; she was truly worn out. She had to work tomorrow too.

After Su Rong fell asleep, Gao Xuan gently stroked Su Rong's face. Even with good maintenance, there were still fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Her skin was also slightly loose.

Su Rong's work intensity was very high, and at thirty-one, the natural changes in her body were unavoidable.

Though Gao Xuan was reserved, he still had feelings for Su Rong and Su Le.

Seeing the dawn of a chance to return home, he couldn't just leave Su Rong and Su Le behind.

However, whether the Skywalker Gene Potion had side effects was still uncertain.

He was not afraid of death and could naturally try it directly.

Even in the Interstellar Era, genetic mutation and evolution carried certain risks. Although Skywalker was touted as the safest genetic potion, it couldn't be said to be without risks.

Everyone's genes were different. With the slightest error, the Skywalker Gene Potion could become a deadly poison.

To use it on others would require countless tests.

Gao Xuan went to the next room to check on Su Le. She was sleeping soundly. Perhaps dreaming about eating, little drool covered her small mouth.

Gao Xuan helped his daughter wipe away the drool, then stared at her adorable little face for a while before quietly leaving the room.

Throughout the process, the nanny, Sister Peng, sleeping beside her, noticed nothing.

Gao Xuan went to the quiet room on the top floor, which was originally a sunroom that he had converted into a training room.

He had placed two human-shaped vertical sandbags, and besides that, there was also a sword.

This was made by someone at Gao Xuan's request in the style of the Hongyi Sword, using the finest special steel, costing nearly two hundred thousand.

Even with such expense, this replica of the Hongyi Sword was just an ordinary steel sword. If it struck something hard, the blade would certainly get damaged.

Gao Xuan drew this replica of the Hongyi Sword. The blade had undergone countless grinding, finally revealing a gleaming autumn water feel.

The four-foot-long sword edge weighed thirteen pounds. Such a sharp weapon; an ordinary person could only swing it a few times before becoming unable to move it.

Gao Xuan held the sword in silence for a long time, then casually twirled it skillfully, sending it forwards, the longsword plunged into its sheath like a silver snake.

The force he used was just right, and the scabbard on the stand shook but remained motionless.

Gao Xuan sighed lightly. Such techniques could already be considered divine on Earth.

Only by modifying his genes and sensing Source Power could he achieve such precision.

In terms of personal power, he was already the strongest on Earth. Yet, even so, he couldn't stop a bullet. Perhaps a small caliber handgun shot could be withstood a couple of times.

Gao Xuan assessed his own combat power and found that it held little meaning.

In the modern tightly-knit social system, individual martial prowess played a minimal role. True strength lay in intelligence.

In the Interstellar Era, individual strength was incredibly powerful, yet the circumstances were different.

Gao Xuan sat in the chair, pondering for a long time, until it was almost dawn, then returned to bed to sleep.

Su Rong, sleeping sweetly, knew nothing of this. Upon waking up in the morning, she felt particularly refreshed, as if every part of her body was filled with vigor.

Su Rong was very pleased with her state; she praised Gao Xuan, "You're truly a great tonic."

"Come back tonight for more," Gao Xuan smiled.

Su Le didn't understand adult conversation, nor did she understand the mysterious smiles from her mom and dad.

She looked at Su Rong and Gao Xuan, her big, bright eyes filled with confusion.

Gao Xuan patted Su Le's head, "Quickly eat your breakfast, so I can take you to kindergarten later."

Su Le nodded obediently, appearing to understand as she ate.

After breakfast, Gao Xuan drove Su Le to kindergarten, and upon arrival, although Gao Xuan carried Su Le out of the car, Su Le was reluctant to be put down.

Her small hands clutched Gao Xuan's neck tightly: "Daddy, I don't want to be separated from you, I want to be with you forever."

"I'll come to pick you up after school." Gao Xuan gently comforted her.

"Then you have to promise me, never to leave me."

Su Le stared straight at Gao Xuan with her big shiny eyes, her expression particularly serious.

"Daddy and Lele will never be apart."

This pure dependence and affection touched Gao Xuan, leading him to make an unrealistic promise.

"You promise!"

"I promise."

"Daddy, I love you."

With the promise from Gao Xuan, Su Le's little face bloomed into a smile.

Watching Su Le follow the pretty female teacher into the classroom, Gao Xuan remained silent for a while before turning to get into the car and leave.

For most adults who are married with children, life has actually become quite routine. Everything revolves around the family, and the individual gradually becomes a tool, a part of the family.

However, for children, every day is filled with novelty.

Su Le grew up day by day, from primary school to middle school, and soon graduated from high school and was accepted into university.

At eighteen, facing the first important choice of her life, Su Le chose An University.

Although her grades qualified her to attend the top universities in the Capital, she didn't want to be too far from home. An University is also a top university, and with her grades, she could choose the best major.

Sitting in the car and looking at the gates of An University from afar, she said to Gao Xuan, "Dad, you don't have to accompany me, I'll register by myself."

"University is a mini society. You're so smart and beautiful, you have to learn to protect yourself."

Gao Xuan advised with concern.

Su Le clenched her fist and made a gesture to Gao Xuan, "If anyone bullies me, I'll use our family's Five Consecutive Lightning Whip to smash their dog's head."

Gao Xuan laughed heartily, "Just injure them, killing them would be troublesome."

He got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took out Su Le's suitcase.

Su Le waved to Gao Xuan, then excitedly pulled her suitcase and walked briskly towards the school gates.

Eighteen-year-old Su Le, standing at one seventy meters tall, had inherited all of Su Rong's good looks, but was even more refined. Her skin was fair and tender.

Wearing a fisherman hat, T-shirt and shorts, her simple attire could not hide her brightness.

There were many students registering at the school gates, as well as many parents. Quite a few people couldn't help but glance at Su Le.

Such a beautiful young girl was indeed rare.

Gao Xuan watched Su Le enter the school gates, feeling a bit worried inside.

For her peers, Su Le was too beautiful and outstanding. Although Su Rong had already spoken with the school leadership, and An Province was Su Family's territory.

But in a campus full of rampant hormones, no one could predict what might happen. Fortunately, he had taught Su Le combat and various self-defense skills since childhood.

Having undergone genetic optimization with the Skywalker Gene Potion, few people could beat Su Le in a real fight.

Su Le had no such worries. It was the first time she lived independently from her parents.

Though a bit reluctant to part with her dad, the excitement for new life diluted the feeling of separation. Besides, she could go home to see her parents on weekends.

Su Le was studying the best major, with her dormitory consisting of individual rooms and a shared bathroom.

What she didn't know was that to provide her with a good environment at An University, Gao Xuan had donated the funds for this dormitory building two years in advance.

Su Le's university life was very smooth. With her exceptionally high appearance, being a top student, proficient in various musical instruments, and excelling in sports, she was practically omnipotent.

Such an outstanding Su Le naturally became the focus of this year's freshmen. Many boys often went out of their way to see her.

In less than a week, Su Le had been recognized as the goddess of An University. This was ascertained by more than thirty thousand votes on the An University forum.

To know that An University has only a little over fifty thousand students, having more than thirty thousand votes was simply astonishing. Mainly because Su Le's appearance was too high, and she was exceptionally excellent in all aspects, almost flawless.

On the weekend, Gao Xuan drove a fiery red Porsche to pick up Su Le, who was in a particularly good mood.

She ran over and hugged Gao Xuan tightly, kissing him twice on the face.

"My dear daddy, I missed you so much."

She coyly hugged Gao Xuan's neck and asked, "Did you miss me, daddy?"

Gao Xuan replied grumpily, "Such a big child, act a little more stable."

Su Le didn't care, she happily said, "Let's take some selfies here. We'll show them to mom when we get back."

Su Le maneuvered Gao Xuan's head into various poses, making faces at her phone, and after fiddling around for a while, she finished.

Gao Xuan noticed quite a few people around taking photos secretly, but didn't care much. With Su Le being so beautiful, there would always be people secretly taking pictures wherever she went. This was unavoidable.

However, an unexpected situation arose in the evening.

Su Le, teary-eyed, came to Gao Xuan crying and complaining, "Daddy, why are people so bad nowadays? Someone is smearing me on the school forum, it's making me so angry..."

Gao Xuan went on the An University forum and found that several posts were particularly popular.

"Goddess Su Le Being Kept by a Mysterious Rich Man!"

"Goddess Su Le Is Actually a Bitch!"

"Goddess Su Le Meeting with a Married Man..."

Opening the posts, one could see a piece of secretly filmed video. In the video, Su Le was hugging him intimately, they were hugging and taking selfies.

There was also a voiceover from the person recording, "Everyone see, this is An University's goddess Su Le, she's so shameless, dating a middle-aged man driving a sports car, she must be kept..."

As Gao Xuan saw this, his face darkened.
