Chapter 503 - Diversion (1/2)
Once Jiang Fei's parents woke up, Jiang Fei ordered breakfast and they had their meal together in peace. After that, Jiang Fei called Han Tianyu and asked him to send a helicopter to get them back to Manda Square.
The dice had been rolled and the cog of causality was already turning. Jiang Fei parents were introduced to the world of Metahumans rather harshly. They knew their son was not normal, which made Jiang Fei's explanation slightly easier to digest.
By the time Jiang Fei had reached Manda Square, Han Tianyu had also just returned from Africa. Han Tianyu had offered Jiang Fei and his family to move to the highest floor at the Manda Square and be neighbors with Han Tianyu. That way, he could ensure the safety of Jiang Fei's parents. Unexpectedly, Jiang Fei's parents rejected that offer saying that it would be too troublesome. In the end, even after numerous persuasions, Han Tianyu had caved in and only hired fixers to fix the damaged part of Jiang Fei's original house.
Back in Han Tianyu's office, when Jiang Fei's parents had settled in their house.
"Do tell me, what are you going to do from now on?" asked Han Tianyu.
"Right now, there's nothing on my mind," said Jiang Fei as he lay down on the sofa. Han Tianyu might be the most trustworthy person he had ever had. After the incident with his parents, Jiang Fei had emerged higher. He was more mature than he was when he had first picked up the ring. Many things that he did, he would think a million times over in his brain before he actually took actions. He could not afford to be a reckless fool any longer.
"Remember, if you need my help, all you need to do is ask. You know I got your back," said Han Tianyu. They were genuine words.
Jiang Fei was too worked up when he had hulked out in the Soaring Cloud Sect. Besides having a Level 5 master, he had also revealed that he had a fellow Level 5 student under the same master. When Han Tianyu knew about it, he could not think straight for a brief second. He had even slapped himself to be sure that he was not dreaming.
"I knew it! I knew that I had made the right move!" said Han Tianyu to himself when he heard the news. He had placed a large investment on Jiang Fei. If Jiang Fei had failed to hold back the Soaring Cloud Sect, Han Tianyu and his own sect would fall to the pits. Not only that, his family and his business would be largely impacted by the result. Now that he realized that he had made the right choice, he had also realized that Jiang Fei was someone that he could not underestimate. Knowing that, he would never hesitate to protect Jiang Fei and offer him his help. When Jiang Fei grows up, he will surely remember the man who had supported him.
"I'm glad that you have said that. I could really use some help," said Jiang Fei.
"Shoot," said Han Tianyu. The man had already accepted the request for help even before knowing what Jiang Fei would ask for. He was trying to show Jiang Fei that he had planted his feet in the Jiang Fei's faction!
"Thanks," Jiang Fei replied. Jiang Fei needed Han Tianyu's intelligence and not his family's capability. Even though the Han family was influential in the normal world, they were only second to ants in the Metahuman society.
He needed his connections, his manner of thinking and problem-solving skills. Even though Jiang Fei had gotten closer to numerous sects in the alliance, his connections to individual sect were thin. If it was about brawn, Jiang Fei and his magical ring would be enough to face off a good number of opponents. All he needed to do to get stronger was to find the fragments of the ship, Braveheart. In terms of battle experience, he would learn them slowly by practicing. What he really needed in this short amount of time was someone with a strategic mind. Hence, of all the people he knew and trusted, Han Tianyu came up on top of the list.
"Brother Yu, please inform all sects that have involved themselves in the incident between the Soaring Cloud Sect and me. Tell them that my master wishes to express his gratitude by brewing them a special pill," said Jiang Fei. That was his game. While he would be out in the world, searching for the ship fragments, Jiang Fei needed something to keep the attention away from him. A diversion.
"What kind of pill?" asked Han Tianyu as he stopped writing in his book. He had thought about the Evil Purging Pill and the Grand Restore Pill.
"There's no name to it yet but the pill would enhance the energy regenerative speed of a Metahuman. If a martial artist takes it, it would permanently increase one's Qi recovery speed."
This time, Jiang Fei had dropped the bomb. The pill that Jiang Fei had offered was very precious. It was almost the same as Elemental Water. 0541 had only managed to produce ten of them and Jiang Fei had taken one.
"H-How is that possible…" Han Tianyu dropped his pen when he understood what Jiang Fei had just explained.
