Chapter 552 - Chapter 552: The Grace of Upbringing (2/2)

“Xu Linjun, you really are a traitor through and through, to think you would bring outsiders and rebel against us.”

Xu Linjun snorted coldly without saying much. The magnetic field around him immediately stirred into action, and a large amount of fire appeared around him.

Eight middle-aged men rose to their feet at the same time, their eyes changing into various colors, their powers erupting forth in full force at this moment.

Chen Yu could tell at a glance what these guys were up to, all the magnetic field power in their bodies came directly from a box in the center of the hall.

It seemed like some sort of magnetic field conversion device was installed here.

Just as both parties were about to clash, Chen Yu’s body suddenly shot out like lightning, directly to the center of the hall, raising his palm and viciously smashing it down.

A thunderous crashing sound immediately arose, and the huge box instantly turned to powder, while the magnetic fields of the eight Deputy Hall Masters also disappeared in an instant.

All eight men’s eyes widened in shock, their faces filled with rage.

“What the hell did you do, you little brat?”

“How did you know about the stuff in the box?”

“Damn kid, are you choosing to be an enemy of the Core Tower?”

…

The eight men were emotionally charged, cursing loudly, yet not one dared to make a move.

Xu Linjun also charged forth, grabbing an old man and lifting him up.

“Jin Sanhuai, when the Core Tower was established, you told me to gather all naturally-born superhumans with no place to call home from around the world and bring them here, so they could peacefully live out the rest of their lives! Why has it come to this?”

Jin Sanhuai’s breathing suddenly became rapid. When he had created the Core Tower, he did it coveting the unparalleled power these people possessed.

Simply wanting to transfer that power to his own body, he lured those naturally-born superhumans here, using their genetics for his research.

“Xu Linjun! Now that you’ve captured me, if you want to kill or flay me, it’s your prerogative, but I won’t be telling you anything else! However, I hope you remember that I was the one who picked you up from the desert.”

This statement was somewhat of a moral hijacking.

Back when Xu Linjun was stranded in the desert at the age of six, it was Jin Sanhuai who had picked him up, raised him, and even made him a tower master of the Core Tower.

Such a favor was considered an immense grace by any standard.

Xu Linjun suddenly hesitated, not truly knowing how to repay years of nurture and favor.

Chen Yu suddenly appeared between the two, pushing Jin Sanhuai to the ground with a shove.

“You brought him back just because you coveted the power he had, didn’t you? Cut the crap about raising and granting great favor; you are not worthy at all.”

Xu Linjun finally realized and raised his foot, stomping down hard on Jin Sanhuai’s shoulder.

“That’s right, had you not detected the anomaly in my magnetic field, you probably wouldn’t have brought me back and would rather have left me in the desert to be devoured by wolves.”

Actually, he was well aware of Jin Sanhuai’s true intentions in bringing him back.

Now, many ordinary people within the Core Tower had superhuman abilities that were extracted from his genes, a replication of the Fire Ability.

He had long since become intolerable of this.

At that moment, a thunderous rumble suddenly came from outside, and the impregnable Core Tower actually began to shake.

Through the windows, one could see the city not far away collapsing, as if something was trying to burrow up from the ground.
