There were many news reports, posts on Weibo, as well as posts on forums and other social media websites. Fang Xingjian’s consciousness scanned through the countless pieces of information like a beam of light, checking to see if there were people with extraordinary powers discussing about him.
The entire process in which he took small steps to cross the line and attract attention and then eventually to create a great commotion was all so that he could search for the people in this world who had extraordinary powers.
However, by the looks of it…
‘It seems that there are still none?’ A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Concurrently, Song Lili was sitting weakly on the ground, looking under her feet at the skyscrapers which were now the size of toys. Her eyes were still filled with great disbelief.
Zhao Yuting’s mind had already completely blanked out, and she was extremely nervous. She turned to look at Fang Xingjian, who was by the windows, and thought, ‘This man… Is he a god or a demon?’
Fang Xingyue also drew in a deep breath upon seeing this scene. She turned her head abruptly toward Fang Xingjian and glared while asking, “Who on earth are you? What on earth did you do? There’s no way that my younger brother would be able to do this.”
Fang Xingjian replied indifferently, “In a way, I can be considered your younger brother. It’s because I come from a parallel universe, and over there, I’m still Fang Xingjian.”
“Parallel universe?” Fang Xingyue was stunned. She had thought of the possibilities that Fang Xingjian would reply that he was a demon, a god, a monster, or an alien… but she would never have thought that his reply would be that he had come from a parallel universe.
Meanwhile, Song Lili’s expression had completely changed. She now looked at Fang Xingjian with feelings of great respect as well as terror. She asked, “Fang Xingjian, how can I get your forgiveness? Are you thinking of killing me?”
Song Lili was the Song Clan’s most favoured granddaughter. It was not just because she had a cute and beautiful face but also because she was very clever. She had been outstanding from a young age and had also graduated with a Master’s degree in architecture from
Berkeley in the United States.
At almost the same instant in which Fang Xingjian uprooted the entire building, she had already understood how terrifying this was.
To be able to cause an entire building to float in midair… How terrifying would it be if this power were used to attack? A 30-floor building… Moreover, with how the Fang Tian Corporation’s building took up a land area of over 1,000 square meters and a height of over four meters per floor… A building like this would weigh at least several hundred or even several million tons.
The weight of an aircraft carrier would only weigh a few ten thousand tons in comparison. This would mean that with just a single thought, Fang Xingjian would be able to lift up over ten aircraft carriers and send them smashing out.
That was a power which could easily destroy an entire city!
Sets of numbers and models flowed through Song Lili’s mind as she made a quick assessment. She knew that in such a situation, she had already become a bargaining chip that the government could easily sacrifice at any moment.
Therefore, she kept a very low profile, behaving extremely humbly.
Fang Xingjian said calmly, “You’re just being used to kickstart things and give them more reaction time. I won’t kill you. In fact, I’m not a person who will kill indiscriminately.”
Hearing this, an idea popped up in Song Lili’s mind, and she said, “Sir, do you need my help?” When she heard Fang Xingjian’s words, she felt that there was some kind of opportunity for her.
A Young Miss of a great clan like herself, who was willing to improve, had been carefully nurtured all these years. Therefore, she had her own grasp of the sentiments and rationalities of others.
After Fang Xingjian displayed his power and also showed the possibility of being communicated with, Song Lili immediately understood that this was both a disaster as well as an opportunity.
She looked at Zhao Yuting, who seemed very foolish, and wondered how even a girl like her could become Fang Xingjian’s secretary. It was then that an idea came to her.
Song Lili stood up and lifted the hems of her gown, deliberately revealing a good view of her fair upper thigh. She said a little fervently yet also very anxiously while looking at Fang Xingjian, “I’m very familiar with this country’s government system and know of many people with great power. If you’re willing, I can be the one to communicate with them on your behalf, helping to bridge a better interaction between both parties.
“Can I be your personal secretary? I’ll help you save a lot of time.”
