PFC Chapter 235 Master's Seed
Chapter 235 Master's Seed
"Your Majesty, this brocade box was specially entrusted by the old King of the Underworld to be personally handed to you upon your arrival in the capital."
As soon as Xiao Chen stepped into the courtyard house, an old man from the Underworld Palace hurriedly entered, bowed respectfully, and said...
"You're only giving it to me when it arrives in the capital?" Xiao Chen was filled with doubt as he slowly opened the brocade box.
Inside the brocade box was a letter, and there was also a smaller brocade box.
"This small box inside can only be opened when you encounter a problem you can't solve. You can read this letter now," the old man added.
Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and casually opened the envelope.
After reading the letter, his expression became somewhat strange.
The letter read: "My dear disciple, I have some romantic entanglements in the capital, and I also have a daughter. When you arrive in the capital, please help me take care of them."
Xiao Chen knew that his master had always been a womanizer and unruly man, but he never expected that his master would leave behind a bloodline in the capital.
"Due to some special agreements, it's difficult for the Old King of the Underworld to set foot in the capital again, and the power of the Underworld Palace cannot penetrate the capital's territory. The Old King of the Underworld has been out of contact with his wife and daughter for many years. Now, you are free from these restrictions," the old man said meaningfully. "Those two women are not living a good life..."
Xiao Chen silently closed the envelope.
"This is the address." The old man handed over a slip of paper.
"Okay, I'll go take a look." Xiao Chen took the note and put it in his pocket.
……
An hour later, Xiao Chen stood in front of a four-story office building, looking up at the company sign hanging above.
"Creative Arts Company..."
This is where the master's daughter works.
Xiao Chen pretended to be looking for a job and successfully sneaked into the office building, where he started chatting with a cleaning lady.
“Miss Suxin, she’s such a kind person! When I was desperate, she generously helped me out and even gave me this cleaning job. You wait, I’ll go and beg her. She’s kind-hearted, she’ll definitely be able to give you a job so you can have something to eat.”
After the kind-hearted cleaning lady finished speaking, she hurriedly left.
Xiao Chen came out of the storage room and walked to the company's staff list, his gaze fixed on the general manager's column.
The top of the poster features a picture of a stunningly beautiful woman named Zhen Suxin.
"Young man, come and meet Miss Suxin!" the cleaning lady called out from a distance, waving.
Xiao Chen looked up and saw a stunningly beautiful woman standing next to the cleaning lady, with bright eyes, white teeth, and an outstanding temperament.
She looked very young, and her smart office attire perfectly accentuated her graceful figure. Her delicate makeup further enhanced her ethereal beauty.
Xiao Chen immediately recognized his master's features in her eyes and brows, and was almost certain that this was his junior sister.
He walked over quickly with a gentle smile on his face.
“Miss Suxin, this young man says he has nowhere to go, he’s so pitiful. Could you please arrange a job for him? Just something to eat would be fine.” The cleaning lady pleaded earnestly with Zhen Suxin.
"Aunt Wu, it's just a job, a small matter. Don't worry about it, I'll arrange it." Zhen Suxin smiled and reassured Aunt Wu, her voice clear and melodious, her smile as gentle as a spring breeze.
Anyone who sees it will inevitably be tempted.
"Hello, junior sister," Xiao Chen greeted her with a smile.
"What did you call me?" Zhen Suxin asked, looking completely bewildered.
“Zhen Shenxu is my master.” Xiao Chen said the name that always made his master furious.
This is my master's real name. For some reason, he never uses it in his daily life and always prefers to use an alias when he travels the world. Very few people know his real name.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, "I'm her senior brother, so I should at least get a leadership position."
To everyone's surprise, Zhen Suxin's smile vanished instantly upon hearing this, and her expression turned cold.
"Aunt Wu, let him go to the security booth at the gate," she said coldly.
Xiao Chen's smile froze on his face.
After following his master for over ten years and honing his unparalleled skills, he ended up with a job as a security guard.
Xiao Chen found it hard to accept. He was of noble status, and if his subordinates found out that he was working as a security guard here, where would he put his face?
"What? You don't want to? Then forget it." Zhen Suxin frowned slightly when she saw his hesitation.
"I'm willing, thank you for giving me a chance to eat, Junior Sister." Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and reluctantly agreed.
He kept reminding himself that this was to repay his master's kindness, and suffering a little grievance was nothing. He, Xiao Chen, was not the kind of person who coveted beauty.
Besides, I'm not really here to work.
In less than ten minutes, Xiao Chen changed into a security guard uniform, holding a baton, and stood ramrod straight in the security booth.
He stood tall and straight, and his demeanor truly resembled that of a born security guard.
As Zhen Suxin passed by, she glanced at him, nodded, and told him not to let any unauthorized people into the company before turning and leaving.
The afternoon was peaceful. Xiao Chen chatted with the company employees from time to time, subtly inquiring about Zhen Suxin's situation.
As evening approached, a group of people marched menacingly toward the company.
Xiao Chen's eyes sharpened. The newcomers were clearly not to be trifled with. The leader was an arrogant and domineering young man who led a group of his men, approaching the company with a clear objective.
"Someone's already causing trouble so soon?" Xiao Chen gripped his baton, stepped out of the security booth, and stood in front of the company entrance.
"Huh?" The young man in the lead looked grim when he saw a security guard daring to block his way. "You think you can just stand out like a nobody? Get out of my way!"
Xiao Chen remained unmoved, his gaze cold and stern.
"Zhen Suxin, pay back your debts! If you don't pay today, I'll smash up your company!" the young man shouted at the top of his lungs.
Soon, Zhen Suxin walked quickly out of the company.
"Hu Xiong, what do you want to do?" she demanded angrily, walking up to Xiao Chen and gently waving him back. "You can't handle these people, step back," she said in a low voice.
Xiao Chen frowned. He was a security guard; how could he let the boss protect him?
"Junior Sister, what's wrong? I'll help you solve it," he said with a smile.
Zhen Suxin glared at him. "What are you going to solve? You're just a security guard. This isn't something you can handle."
Xiao Chen was speechless for a moment.
"Haha, just a little security guard, but he's got quite the nerve. Zhen Suxin, is this the helper you found?" Hu Xiong laughed disdainfully. "Kid, do you believe I can crush you with a flick of my finger?" He threatened Xiao Chen viciously.
Xiao Chen's gaze suddenly sharpened. Dared to threaten him? He was determined to get involved in this matter.
“You can’t afford to offend the young master of the Hu family in the West District,” Zhen Suxin warned in a low voice, pulling Xiao Chen away as she spoke, but she didn’t notice that Xiao Chen’s face instantly turned gloomy.
"Hu Xiong, your Hu family tampered with the contract and extorted a huge sum of money from me. I'm already being lenient by not suing you. You still dare to come and ask for money? Dream on!" Zhen Suxin angrily accused.
"Zhen Suxin, you can't just say things like that." Hu Xiong sneered. "You signed that contract yourself, so you can't blame anyone else. Now that the business is over, the amount of compensation is clearly stated in the contract. Hurry up and write a check. I have to go back tonight to celebrate my grandfather's birthday. There are some big shots here today, and I don't want to miss it."
Zhen Suxin trembled with anger, "I won't give you a single penny!"
"You won't give it to me? Then don't blame me for being impolite!" Hu Xiong's face darkened, and he was about to order his men to take action.
Xiao Chen took a few steps forward and stood firmly in front of Zhen Suxin.
“Xiao Chen, you…” Zhen Suxin frowned slightly, her eyes full of doubt. She felt that this security guard couldn’t even protect her, how could he possibly help her solve her problems? After all, he was the apprentice of that unreliable old man.
"I'll help you resolve this. Let me reason with them," Xiao Chen said calmly and firmly.
Zhen Suxin's eyes widened. Trying to reason with these people? Are they out of their minds?
"Hahaha..." Hu Xiong and the others burst into laughter, finding the young security guard utterly naive and laughable.
"Dare to come with me?" Xiao Chen looked at Hu Xiong calmly.
"What tricks can you pull?" Hu Xiong said with disdain, leading his men to follow Xiao Chen to the side.
Zhen Suxin watched their retreating figures, her brows furrowing even deeper.
"Call the police immediately, and also call an ambulance," she instructed her employees.
In the corner, Xiao Chen stood with his back to Hu Xiong and the others.
"You stinking security guard, how do you plan to reason with me?" Hu Xiong took the knife handed to him by his subordinate, a mocking smile on his face.
"Are you the young master of the Hu family in the West District?" Xiao Chen asked in a deep voice.
"That's right, what, scared?" Hu Xiong sneered repeatedly.
"Never heard of it," Xiao Chen said calmly.
He turned around abruptly as soon as he finished speaking.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, Hu Xiong was sent flying, knocking down several people in succession.
"Get out of here if you don't want to die!" Xiao Chen said indifferently, his voice icy.
"You..." Hu Xiong's face turned deathly pale, his whole body wracked with pain, feeling as if his bones were about to shatter. Before he could finish speaking, everything went black, and he fainted.
Seeing this, the others turned pale with fright. After regaining their senses, they frantically picked up Hu Xiong and fled in panic.
