Chapter 43: A Contingency Plan (1/2)

After Xu Cheng came out from the gym, he was covered in sweat and was finding it difficult to stay calm.

His power increased way too much in comparison to before and not just by a little bit. That punch just now, if it landed on someone, Xu Cheng couldn’t imagine the consequences. It was just too creepily powerful and that was why he felt a sense of unease.

“How could this be?” Xu Cheng mumbled to himself. Didn’t they say that the incomplete biological serum would completely suppress and destroy his immune system and physical capabilities? Why was his sense of hearing enhanced? Why was his strength so horrifying?

If that doctor from the national biological research lab was here, he would definitely be familiar with the genes that allowed Xu Cheng to summon such explosive strength.

That’s right, it was the powerful talent of ants.

It was once said that if an ant were to be the size of a human, then its ability to lift 50 times its own weight would allow it to easily occupy the top of the food chain.

However, right now Xu Cheng only unlocked strength that was 10 times his own weight, and he didn’t know that the serum he was injected with would trigger such a magical effect.

As to why he was so nervous, it was because he feared that the power would also come with side effects.

On Xu Cheng’s way back, he looked at his hands. Putting aside whatever side effect may come, at least now there was a drastic improvement in his strength and sensory abilities, and as long as there was an increase, there was hope for him to join the Dragon Division!

It was a promise since childhood, a deal between a father and his son. It was also a hatred that crossed two generations.

“Cheng, do you know why your mother isn’t around?”

Xu Cheng was really small back then, and he shook his head in confusion. As someone that was always ridiculed in kindergarten for not having a mother, he really hoped that his mom could return to his side.

His amiable and introverted father looked at the sky and said, “It is your dad’s fault. Dad is sorry, if Dad was more powerful, then maybe your mom would have been able to come with Dad. Dad’s wish in this lifetime is to raise you to have a bright future, and then bring you to see your mom.”

“What do I have to do to be able to see mom?”

His father bitterly laughed and said, “It may be difficult, but it’s not impossible. Once you enter the Dragon Division and become the top soldier there, maybe your Grandpa will come and find you and bring you to your mom.”

When Xu Cheng was young and naive back then, he didn’t really understand what was happening. It was not until later that Lin Chuxue’s father told him, “You shouldn’t hate your mom, she’s innocent. If it wasn’t for her, your grandpa would’ve killed your father a long time ago. It was an unfit marriage since the very start, and your father was cast aside by the Ye Family for his entire life.”

Then, Xu Cheng understood that his family had been ripped apart by someone, and it wasn’t a marriage that received the Ye Family’s blessing. Even on the day of his dad’s funeral, Xu Cheng didn’t see that mother of his make her first appearance in his life.

So, he must enter the Dragon Division, he must come into contact with those superior connections, and one day find that hidden powerful family, bring them to his father’s grave, and make them apologize on their knees.

Every time he thought about the hatred condensed in his heart, Xu Cheng would feel very annoyed. When he finally calmed himself down and was about to ignite the engine, he noticed that the car didn’t start. He got off and popped open the front, only to find all the wires cut inside. There was also a note inside.

On it was written the following message: “Mr. Officer, it was us that screwed up your car. You can come and find us at xxx to arrest us.”
