Chapter 481: The Closest Person

Chen Zhao clearly did not expect Gaia’s changes.

Luckily, Chen Zhao trusted Gaia’s personality.

She did not display her changes before Tiger.

Moreover, she was not frustrated by her changes. She was the kind of person who wanted to become strong.

In fact, she was even delighted by her new powers.

That night, Chen Zhao scolded all the pets, including Princess.

For the last few days, he had been really bored.

There was neither any client nor anything interesting.

He had just been training Tiger, or conducting various experiments in the space crevice.

…

“Mom, what if Brother doesn’t welcome me?” Yura asked, worried.

“Don’t worry. Your brother will definitely welcome you,” Mother said softly as she held Yura’s shoulder.

“Boss, we’re here.” Bill stopped the car.

“Wow! Is this Brother’s house? It’s amazing!” Yura gaped at the villa before her, which blended perfectly into the relaxing environment.

It was Mother’s first time here too. She heard from Chen Zhao that he had bought a piece of land and built his own house.

She thought that Chen Zhao must be having a good life in America.

However, she just realized that Chen Zhao’s life was not just good, but outstanding.

There was no way a middle-class person could build such an excellent villa.

Suddenly, an enormous beast appeared before the three, whose faces paled at once.

It was a bear whose weight was probably ten times their weights combined.

Bill was about to draw his gun, but Princess did not walk any closer. Instead, she stared at the three, confused.

She could tell from Mother and Yura’s smell that they were somehow related to Chen Zhao.

Just then, two wolves appeared before them.

They were similarly formidably large. The three giants stood in a row and stared at Yura and Mother.

“Boss, let’s get back onto the car!”

“They’re probably my son’s pets.” Mother was uncertain as well.

Mother thought about it. Princess, Black-Ma and White-Ma had no intention to attack them.

Mother took out her phone and called Chen Zhao, “Chen Zhao, Yura and I are in front of your house now. Are you home?”

Chen Zhao, who was in the forecourt, immediately jumped up and ran toward them.

“Why are you here? You should have informed me in advance.”

Mother was speechless when she saw Chen Zhao in casual shorts.

“You’re really free.”

“Brother… Are they your pets?”

“Yes.” Chen Zhao waved his arm. Princess, Black-Ma and White-Ma left to play by themselves.

However, suddenly, Obitos crawled toward them, which frightened the three once again. He was chased away by Chen Zhao at once.

“Chen Zhao, how many pets do you have?”

“Quite a lot.”

Very soon, Yura and Mother discovered more pets.

Chen Zhao even had a few lion cubs which ran around them.

Yura sat in a tight spot. Because of her condition, she had not contacted other animals.

“Ms., be careful, there’s a snake there.”

Yura immediately jumped away. Just then, Chen Zhao walked up with some tea.

“Don’t be scared. He doesn’t bite.”

It was a colorful venomous snake. Who would believe that it did not bite…

Yura did. “Brother, can I touch him?”

Yura did not dare to touch the other pets, but she wanted to touch Raymond.

“Yes,” Chen Zhao nodded.

Mother watched in worry as Raymond crawled to Yura’s legs and coiled up there.

“It’s cold.”

Seeing how docile Raymond was, Mother heaved a sigh of relief.

“Chen Zhao, come here. I have something to talk to you.”

“Yura, you can play with Raymond for now,” Chen Zhao said. Then, he followed his mother to the courtyard.

“Chen Zhao, can I ask you to take care of Yura for a few days?”

Chen Zhao kept silent. Although he had many secrets at home, his mother had already brought Yura here.

He could not reject her.

“Are you sure she can have contact with the external environment?”

Mother looked at Chen Zhao. “Yura told me that you gave her something to drink that day. Her immune system seems to have improved greatly.”

“Yes.” Chen Zhao did not deny it.

“Thank you.”

“Anyway, she’s my younger sister.”

Chen Zhao was willing to take care of Yura. Whether his relationship with his mother was distant or close, Yura was his sister.

Mother had brought Yura here precisely because Chen Zhao was able to take care of and protect her.

At the moment, she was entangled in her company business, but her competitor actually threatened her with Yura’s safety.

Therefore, she had to find someone who was trustworthy and could protect Yura.

Chen Zhao was perhaps not too close to her, but he would not harm Yura.

In addition, Chen Zhao was really an exceptional doctor. Since young, Yura had been unable to leave a pure air environment, but Chen Zhao solved the problem.

Yura’s immune system had begun to function again, for which Mother was truly elated.

Perhaps Yura would still die before eighteen, but at least she would not die alone.

Before the end of her life, she would at least have friends and a life of her own.

“Recently, my company and another pharmaceutical company have been competing for a market across the pacific. We produce the same types of medicine, and the market involves tens of billions of dollars, so competition is really intense. Yura’s father was supposed to be the heir of his family, but after his death, all his properties are now under me. Nevertheless, there’s a rule in his family: if he doesn’t have a child, they have to choose another heir. The young generation in his family craves my properties, so as long as Yura is dead, they might become the new heir. I don’t know who they’re colluding with, but they’re trying to affect my decisions in the company so that they can get their hands onto the market first.”

Chen Zhao did not expect competition in the pharmaceutical industry to be this cruel.

They had even used illegal means and attacked the family of their competitor.

“Who’s your competitor?” Chen Zhao asked.

“Forget it. They’re a huge billionaire. They can even start a war with their armed forces,” Mother said.

“Don’t worry. I’m just asking so that I can be prepared.”

“Abel Pharmaceuticals,” Mother said. “Don’t even think about using violent means. It’s useless. Even if you kill their chairman, their successor would use similar methods to compete with my company.”

Mother was scared that Chen Zhao would attack the company alone in his hotheadedness.

Even though they were not close, Chen Zhao was still her son.
