Chapter 234: Chapter 159: Brother Monkey’s Eyes of Golden Flame (Part 3)_3

Long Xia said with a serious face, "Don’t worry, with a skin as thick as yours, you can definitely handle it."

Qin Shou nodded in agreement, "True."

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

...

After dinner, the parents went to bed.

Qin Shou and Long Xia went up to the rooftop, gazing at the speckled night sky, both remaining silent.

After a long while, Long Xia suddenly spoke.

"Lao Qin, I know exactly why you’re here."

Although his aptitude for cultivation was average, he had a knack for business.

Coupled with his connection to Qin Shou, he could easily gather some intel with a bit of money.

The matter of the Heavenly Eye Divine Race was not something that could be hidden from him.

Qin Shou reclined on the rooftop, hands behind his head, and chuckled, "So, do you think I’m back here looking for death?"

"Not really, just wondering how many days you’d take to deal with Zhu Guangbai."

Long Xia hid his worry, laughing lightly.

Qin Shou glanced at the calm communicator, "I don’t know either. That old fox hasn’t taken the bait yet!"

Nearby, Rein Jia’er and Kazek were monitoring the area constantly, but no abnormalities had been detected.

Long Xia clicked on the communicator, and a virtual screen displayed Zhu Guangbai’s information.

"That old fox has been a principal in White Mountain City for so many years, cunning and calculating. Even the Federation can’t pin him down; he’ll surely guess that your return is a trap."

Qin Shou exhaled deeply, "Yeah, so what now? I can’t possibly stay here and guard the place forever, can I?"

Long Xia turned his head, "How about you take Uncle and Aunt to the Beast Cultivation Main City? Zhu Guangbai won’t be able to infiltrate there."

"No, you can’t bring family members there. I’ll wait a few years until I advance to the Unbreakable Realm; then these won’t be concerns anymore." Qin Shou replied.

The Beast Cultivation Main City was off-limits, and the Long Family territory couldn’t be trusted either, as it might cause even bigger trouble.

After contemplating, he figured staying in West City was still the most stable option.

"How many years will it take for you to advance to the Unbreakable Realm?"

"Five years, maybe!"

"Cough... What, just five years..."

Long Xia’s round face showed shock. At this rate, the gap between the two was growing wider and wider.

During this time, Long Xia had barely managed to advance to the Vajra Realm, originally thinking he could at least narrow the gap somewhat, even if he couldn’t catch up.

At the very least, he didn’t want to embarrass Qin Shou.

But...

Sigh...

Qin Shou glanced at Long Xia’s complex expression and patted him on the shoulder.

"I know what you’re thinking. You didn’t use the Gold Devouring Potion I gave you. Instead, you relied on consuming large amounts of Monster Meat and used Earth Core Energy Crystals as an aid for cultivation. This made it hard for your body to absorb the energy, and that’s why you’ve bloated like this."

Long Xia’s eyes darted evasively, "That’s not true."

Qin Shou shook his head, his gaze serious, "Long Xia, let me tell you, gaining strength through my help isn’t something to be ashamed of.

"Like you, I was ordinary too. Whatever strength I have now, I achieved with help from others.

"Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Long Xia hung his head low, "But I don’t want to become your burden."

"Who said you’re a burden?"

Qin Shou chuckled, "It’s just like doing business—a form of investment. Do you understand investment?"

"Investment? What do I have that’s worth investing in?" Long Xia chuckled bitterly.

Qin Shou held his forehead; this kid was stubborn!

"Alright, I’ll be honest with you. I’m planning to start a War Armor Company later, so you’d better hurry up and improve your strength. In the future, you can manage things for me and make money on my behalf."

With that explanation, Long Xia suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

"Lao Qin, you should’ve said so earlier. If you’d told me earlier, I wouldn’t have been so conflicted. Why didn’t you say so? It’s all your fault for not saying it earlier..."

Long Xia grumbled endlessly, then thumped his chest and promised.

"Lao Qin, don’t worry. I may not be good at other things, but when it comes to business, you’ve found the right person. You don’t even know—back when I went to register my company..."

As Long Xia rambled on for half an hour, Qin Shou felt mentally drained.

...

The next day, Qin Shou made a trip to the wild.

He wandered casually but still didn’t spot Zhu Guangbai, starting to ponder.

Could he be afraid it’s a trap?

Then why lure me here?

Crazy!

Thinking this over, he returned to West City and discussed the situation with Yu Shusheng.

Early on the third day, Yu Shusheng, Qiao Jianshan, and Zuo Dahong ventured to the Dragon Island development zone, leaving West City for now.

The news of West City’s Vajra Nine Stars leaving couldn’t be hidden from those paying attention.

But Zhu Guangbai still didn’t show up.

After reaching this point, Qin Shou was starting to get frustrated.

"Fine, let’s try the final trick."

...

On the fourth day.

Motor vehicles flowed like rivers on the bustling streets of West City, where suddenly several Golden Armored soldiers burst through the ground, shooting up into the sky above West City.

The street unexpectedly developed several pits, startling the pedestrians.

"What’s going on?"

"Look, up there! The soldiers..."

"They actually have three eyes!"

"What kind of Beast Power Gene is this?"

The crowd was rife with discussion.

Moments later, a tremor shook the ground beneath their feet, accompanied by faint, feral roars.

"Roar..."

"This is bad, get out of here! There’s a monster underground!"

"Run!"

"Quickly..."

"Flee for your lives!"

In this era, even those with poor aptitude generally reached Five-star strength in the Newborn Realm as adults.

With Star Power bolstering them, the speed at which pedestrians evacuated far surpassed the average person of the Old Era.

Within mere seconds, Star Powers of various colors spread, and the pedestrians fled far away.

"Crack..."

In the next instant, the concrete street shattered, and a titanic figure burst out from the ground—a black giant beast howled skyward.

"Roar!"

The deafening roar reverberated as the black monster shook its body, sending chunks of earth sliding off its coarse skin.

A T-Rex body paired with coral-like dorsal fins.

A towering monster over thirty meters high appeared suddenly amidst the skyscrapers.

"It’s... It’s Godzilla!"

"How is this possible? The King of Monsters, Godzilla..."

Distant pedestrians exclaimed in shock.
