Chen Dalong left swiftly, but he wasn’t really busy with anything; after departing, he just waited outside.
A mont later, Li Huosheng ca out and spoke softly, "They’ve all taken the gene potion and have fallen into a deep sleep."
Chen Dalong nodded upon hearing this, "That’s good!"
Unable to hold back his curiosity, Li Huosheng asked, "Boss, why are you being so good to them?"
During the previous crisis with the mutated beings, it was one thing to send a few brothers to protect them—just a matter of expending manpower, which wasn’t really a cost for them.
But this ti, it was three bottles of gene potion that were used, and they were even the enhanced version.
To be honest, Li Huosheng felt that such gene potions could easily sell for a billion each on the market, which made the cost significant.
Hearing his subordinate’s question, Chen Dalong felt sowhat bothered, but he also understood that such issues might keep cropping up, so it was better to co up with a reason.
After thinking it over, he said, "The Ye Family is quite special, they’re big shots who asked to look after them. Those enhanced gene potions you took were provided by that VIP. Also, about this matter, you must not ntion it to the Ye Family; they are unaware."
Surprised by this revelation, Li Huosheng’s mind was suddenly flooded with lodramatic plot twists.
For instance, Ye Xiangfeng might be the illegitimate child of so important person who, out of guilt, is not ready to acknowledge him openly but compensates in secret...
Of course, Li Huosheng was not interested in the specifics about the Ye Family; knowing that they had a powerful patron behind them was enough for him.
"Got it, understood," Li Huosheng promptly replied.
Afterward, the two of them returned and silently waited.
Half an hour later, Ye Xiangfeng was the first to awaken.
He was startled at first, not understanding why he had suddenly fallen asleep. Instinctively he looked around and, upon seeing his wife and daughter both safely lying on the couch, let out a silent sigh of relief.
Then he glanced around the room and noticed that Secretary Lin, the woman who had given them the gene potion, was still there. He couldn’t help but ask, "Hello, Secretary Lin, what happened? Why did we fall asleep?"
"Sir, this is a normal reaction to taking the gene potion. You should now have successfully beco a superhuman," Secretary Lin explained following Chen Dalong’s instructions. In her eyes as she looked at him, there was envy.
Superhuman, ah! Who wouldn’t want to be one?
Hearing this, Ye Xiangfeng no longer worried about his sudden sleepiness. He quickly stood up and instantly noticed the huge change in his body.
He clenched his fists, feeling power surge throughout his body, even getting the illusion that he could kill a bull with a single punch.
"Is this the power of a superhuman? It’s really strong!" he whispered excitedly to himself.
anwhile, Wang Shuwen’s eyelids fluttered, and she also began to wake up.
"Old Ye, why did I fall asleep?" Wang Shuwen asked groggily.
"Never mind that, have you beco a superhuman?" Ye Xiangfeng imdiately inquired.
Wang Shuwen was montarily stunned, then she felt the change within herself and nodded excitedly, "Yes! I can feel it, my body seems to have gotten a lot stronger."
Right at that mont, Ye Rou also opened her eyes. She seed still halfway asleep as she rubbed her eyes and said, "Mom, I think I had a very long dream."
"Oh? What did my little treasure dream about?" Wang Shuwen casually asked.
"We went to see snow, and it was so much fun! We went skiing, made snown, and had snowball fights..."
Before she could finish, Ye Xiangfeng’s anxious voice interrupted, "Rou Rou, what’s wrong with your hands?"
Ye Rou stopped rubbing her eyes and then saw her hands covered in a layer of ice crystals, as if she was wearing icy gloves.
"Ah!" Ye Rou also saw the abnormality on her hands and, sowhat panicked, put her hands down.
As soon as her palms touched the sofa, the entire leather sofa started freezing rapidly from where her palm rested, and in just a few seconds, it turned into an ice sculpture.
"Wah~ Mommy." Ye Rou, only a six-year-old girl, was scared to tears by this scene and imdiately threw herself towards Wang Shuwen.
"Stop, don’t move!" Hearing the commotion inside, Chen Dalong rushed in from the doorway and imdiately shouted, using his imposing presence.
Under this stern command, Ye Rou instinctively halted in her tracks.
Seeing this, Chen Dalong let out a sigh of relief. Quickly stepping into the room, he adopted a softer tone, "Little friend, you’ve awakened ice power. What you need to do now is calm down and retract your ability; otherwise, if you get close to your parents, you might hurt them, like with that sofa. Understand?"
Hearing Chen say so, Ye Xiangfeng and Wang Shuwen’s hanging hearts finally relaxed, and Ye Rou, understanding the reason, was no longer as frightened as before.
After all, she was already six and knew quite a bit, especially aware that they ca here to beco superhumans.
Quickly calming down, under Chen Dalong’s guidance, she carefully felt her body’s state and slowly retracted her ice power.
Only then did Wang Shuwen embrace her daughter tightly, nearly bursting into tears; the previous mont had genuinely terrified her.
