Chapter 124 - Opposites (1/2)

Opposites

Josef’s house was bigger than Annina’s and had a field in front and a little tin-roofed shed at the back When Xia Lei saw the tin-roofed shed, he thought, ‘Josef is studying an intelligent lathe on his own and it’s large so he definitely can’t have it in his living quarters It should be in that shed’

Just as he was about to use his X-ray vision on the shed, Josef walked over “Annina, can you help uests for me to handle”

“Sure What do you need?”

“Help et some alcohol You knohere my cellar is”

Annina nodded, “Okay” she then said to Xia Lei, “Wait for me”

After Annina walked off, Josef looked at Xia Lei, “You’re called Lukas, right?”

His tone was not respectful at all and Xia Lei could tell that this Josef did not want to invite him to his birthday party - he was only here because of Annina Xia Lei actually had no interest at all in coineer and the project he orking on These were all the underlying reasons

Josef was not respectful but Xia Lei still smiled and said politely, “Yes hello, Mr Josef” He reached out a hand for a handshake

“My hands are greasy Let’s not shake hands,” said Josef, “Then, Lukas, can you go to the utility shed and help et some charcoal? We need charcoal for a barbecue”

“No problem Where’s the utility shed?” asked Xia Lei

Josef lifted his hand and pointed

Xia Lei walked towards the utility shed Josef was not treating hiuy as here to party However, having Josef give hi compared to his desire to obtain trade secrets

Soarden looked at Xia Lei and started gossipping

“That Chinese guy’s Annina’s new assistant I hear she gets along ith hiuest

“I heard that he took just one hour to fix Annina’s ine troubles too Man, he’s good,” said another guest

“You knohy Annina illing to accept this new assistant?” said a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woly, “She told me that this Chinese assistant knows ht well She offended soht and claims that this Chinese assistant helped her solve her probleuy is already quite a capable person Looks like he doesn’t like hied hed, “Josef likes Annina Everyone knows that This young Chinese guy isn’t bad-looking and works ith Annina so of course Josef dislikes hi trouble”

The guests changed topics when Josef walked over

Xia Lei did not hear their chatter either - he had arrived at the utility shed

It was a simple wooden shed by the side of the house

There were various rando tools, mechanical parts and the charcoal that Xia Lei needed to fetch It was a huge sack of about 50 kg Xia Lei was in no rush to get the charcoal when he entered the shed and he stood by theto look at the tin-roofed shed behind Josef’s house

Josef’s house was purely made of wood but this shed’s walls were brick and concrete and very solid This, however, was no obstacle to Xia Lei’s left eye and the walls disappeared as his eye twitched

He saw a machine covered by a tarpaulin coated with fluorescent , and was about three or four aze and tried to use his X-ray vision on the fluorescent tarpaulin but discovered that it see to see past the tarpaulin bit all he could

Xia Lei was stunned, ‘The fluorescent tarpaulin can actually absorb my ability and weaken my X-ray vision so much I can’t see the object clearly Why?’

Ever since he’d gained his abilities, Xia Lei had always been able to use his X-ray vision and it never failed hi will have itsopposite - this was the rule of nature The ‘Five Eleic In other words, a thing with no opposite and equal force did not exist and Xia Lei’s X-ray vision was no exception
