Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Getting a Bit Overconfident

After the usual morning exercise.

Su Xin took a bath, pulled out the laptop he had previously stolen, plugged in the wireless internet card, and logged into the email account he had just registered yesterday.

There was an unread email inside.

The sender’s username was San Sheng.

Su Xin clicked it open and found only a compressed file with a note reading a string of date numbers and two lines of text—

Sir, here’s the information you requested.

The password is the date of our first meeting.

Although there was no name noted, this email was undoubtedly sent by Xu Yongshou.

Since Su Xin had explicitly said not to let outsiders discover their connection, Xu Yongshou naturally knew to avoid using real names or any other sensitive terms as much as possible.

Su Xin downloaded the file, entered the password to unzip it, and opened the document to check.

As he had requested, Xu Yongshou had listed all the official members of the Celestial Wolf Gang, from top to bottom, noting each person’s position, rank, and faction affiliation, as well as all the industries under the gang’s name and the approximate revenue situation of each industry – extremely detailed.

“Zhao Tianhu, secondary member, alias Big Tiger, Du Fengsheng, and those two lackeys are indeed his subordinates. It seems they really targetted me on purpose, and it was all just an act for me.”

“But why do they need to do this?”

“And who arranged it?”

After reading the data, Su Xin leaned back in his chair, looking thoughtful.

He wasn’t the kind to shun the world; he had fought with many people before and generally maintained a calm demeanor at school, which made him seem pretentious and annoying to many boys. Moreover, having dated two of the school beauty queens, many boys couldn’t stand him.

It seemed normal to him if someone didn’t like him and designed something against him deliberately.

But those people didn’t need to play this kind of trick.

If those who didn’t like him or who had conflicts with him, or even the little punks he fought with a few days ago, wanted trouble, they should have directly taught him a lesson.

However, Brother Tiger and his group deliberately staged such a clumsy act in front of him, clearly not just to teach him a lesson.

Another possibility is that the Nirvana Association or Yonghui Financial Group discovered his identity and used this method to test him.

But this possibility was even slimmer.

Upon pondering, Su Xin eventually felt it might have something to do with the large inheritance he had received.

Wealth tempts the heart.

Sixteen million yuan, in Wanghai Country—this less developed little country, was already a huge sum for most people, enough to stir greed in many.

Considering the poor law and order of the country and being a solitary teenager without any background, as soon as it was revealed he had a large sum, many would covet him.

The only problem was whether his inheritance of the huge fortune had already been exposed.

Su Xin understood that, in truth, this wasn’t so secret and it was normal for someone interested to notice it.

After all, too many people knew about it.

For example, some of the management at Kangbo Biological Company, aware of the massive compensation, Principal Wang, and some of his parents’ friends, knew about his family situation and that he would inherit a large inheritance after his parents’ death.

And, Lawyer Lin.

This person knew the exact amount of the inheritance he was entitled to and the specific date it would arrive in his account.

It was only then that Su Xin remembered.

The time Brother Tiger and his gang came looking for trouble was the day after his inheritance arrived.

If those people indeed came to trouble him because of the immense inheritance he inherited, then the timing of their appearance was exceedingly coincidental.

This made him suspicious of Lawyer Lin.

Su Xin had actually already guessed that owning a large fortune, he’d face troubles someday. He just didn’t expect them to come so quickly.

He understood that even if this guess was wrong, similar things would happen sooner or later.

So his priority now was not to retaliate against Lawyer Lin or the lowlifes like Zhao Tianhu, as even without them, there would still be others causing trouble.

In this country with chaotic law and order, possessing wealth without corresponding background or status destined him for endless trouble.

Solving these troubles was simple, though.

Either, make the ’possessing wealth’ condition invalid, for example, after donating all the money, then announcing it to the public in some way, ensuring no one watches him anymore.

Or, securing a strong sponsor, making people too afraid to covet him.

But he disliked both methods.

“Seems living peacefully isn’t so easy after all!”

“Then just let everything happen as it may.”

“If someday my identity must be exposed, then might as well stand in the sunlight without a care, letting the identity of Black Robe disappear from then on.”

Su Xin opened the curtains, the whole person bathed in the warm morning sunlight, wearing a carefree, pleasant smile on his face.

He stretched for a while, his joints making a continuous crisp sound, then put on his school uniform, and walked out of the house.

With the continuous increase and upgrade of his supernatural abilities, his powers became more perfect, and his strength grew, making him increasingly restless inside.

On one hand, he didn’t want to expose his identity or give up his mundane daily life, so in every action he placed effort in concealing his identity.

On the other hand, deep within, an inexplicable anticipation existed—anticipation of his identity being exposed someday to reveal his various supernatural abilities in front of the world under the name of Su Xin, letting all know his power.

The human heart is insatiable.

Before, he only wished for a peaceful life and found playing some thrilling games as the Black Robe fulfilling enough.

Now.

He found such a life a bit dull.

With his supernatural abilities increasing and perfecting, but always dealing with ordinary people who had no power to resist him, it felt like crushing ants on the roadside. After a few times, it might still feel interesting, but after a week or so, he wanted to play more challenging games.

Especially today, with the Concealment Prayer upgraded to LV4, he obtained the Directional Correction trait, practically gaining the ability to travel the world freely, going wherever he pleased, unrestrained, plus the various abilities granting immortality and invincibility from before…

He had to admit he felt a bit inflated.

Walking leisurely towards the school, Su Xin thought carefully, gradually detecting his current mindset.

But he had no intention of suppressing it deliberately.

After all, possessing so many incredible abilities, and situated in a contemporary city rather than a world filled with almighty beings like in primordial fairy tales, constantly being cautious and conservative would fall short of the powerful system he had.

Previously hiding his identity was due to valuing a peaceful life and not wanting life disrupted, not out of fear.

And now, having grown tired of such a life and feeling eager inside, he thought he might as well let himself go.

Thus, a thought sprang into his mind:

“Perhaps…”

“The game should be played differently too.”

“The Nirvana Association and Yonghui Financial Group should still be looking for me, so let me give you a bit of hope, hope… you can make me enjoy it fully.”
