As a result, my third uncle glanced at me and said, "I am an unfortunate person. You'd better stay away from me."
After saying that, he went straight back to his room.
Afterwards, when Champagne learned that she had sneaked into the yard, she was beaten for the only time in her life. Her buttocks were almost swollen from the beating, and she was also punished by being starved for a day.
From then on, Champagne began to understand that her third uncle held an extremely special position within her family. Moreover, his ruthless and bloodthirsty nature left a deep impression on Champagne's heart!
At this moment, seeing that the most mysterious and terrifying third uncle in the family had actually left the island and was standing in front of her, Champagne immediately recalled that night years ago, when the third uncle was holding her in one arm, covered in blood, with corpses all around.
"Come back with me."
Uncle San only said one sentence, and Champagne didn't dare to utter a sound, obediently following behind Uncle San.
"Wait!" Bai Cai jumped up and stood in front of them with Ya Ya: "Who are you? What right do you have to take the champagne!"
The third uncle didn't say anything, he just calmly looked at the two girls.
Champagne shuddered, frantically signaling to the two men, and quickly said, "Stop talking! I...I want to go home..."
Unexpectedly, the third uncle suddenly smiled and looked at the two girls in front of him: "Well, in that case, you two come with me."
Champagne was startled: "Third Uncle! You...you are..."
The third uncle said calmly, "The people here kidnapped one of you from our home, so in response, I kidnapped two. It's not excessive."
Seeing the man's appearance, Bai Cai felt a surge of anger and snorted, "Oh? You want to kidnap us too? Try it!"
"Cabbage!" Champagne's voice trembled: "You! You mustn't resist, please don't resist... I beg you, please don't resist!"
The third uncle glanced back at Champagne and nodded: "Well, it's good that they didn't resist. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing them."
Bai Cai turned pale with anger, while Ya Ya remained bewildered. Xiang Bin stepped forward, grabbed Bai Cai's hand, and pleaded in a low voice, "Bai Cai! You don't know... my third uncle is very... if he says he'll kill someone, he really will!!"
Her voice trembled, filled with anxiety.
"You...you guys don't resist yet, let me think of a way..." Champagne was covered in sweat.
At this moment, Uncle San spoke up: "Hmm... that guy surnamed Tian lives here too, right?"
After saying that, he smiled slightly, then walked to the counter with his hands behind his back. After a moment's thought, he extended a finger and gently drew a sentence on the counter.
After writing it down, he glanced at the champagne and said, "That guy surnamed Tian dared to kidnap you, I won't let it go so easily."
The handwriting left on the counter clearly read:
"I have a sword, you have a knife, let's meet!"
Chapter 219 [Division]
Unaware of what was happening on the abandoned street, Chen Xiao was in the study of the Xu family mansion, staring at Old Man Xu with a strange look.
Their eyes met in the air for a long time, and for a moment, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.
Finally, Chen Xiao seemed to smile: "Uncle Xu, who are you talking about? Shi Gaofei? That strange guy in the wheelchair? Why did he contact me?"
Seeing Chen Xiao's composed smile, Old Xu seemed relieved. He relaxed his grip on his cigar and casually flicked off the ash: "Well, that's good. I was just asking out of concern."
Chen Xiao looked at Old Man Xu thoughtfully. Although he didn't speak, the dissatisfaction in his eyes was already evident.
Old Xu was stared at for a while before finally chuckling, "Alright, alright, I know I can't keep hiding this from you forever. You don't need to look at me like that anymore. I'll tell you." He paused, then smiled at Chen Xiao, "What do you want to know?"
Chen Xiao remained calm: "Uncle Xu, I won't force you if you don't want to talk about it. I don't dare, nor do I have the right to force you to tell me anything. However, this matter is becoming increasingly strange and has already involved me. I am willing to do my best for you, but I should at least have a clear understanding of the situation."
Old Xu gave a wry smile: "Alright, it was my fault for what I did before. Since I needed your help, it wouldn't be right to hide everything from you."
"Hmm." Chen Xiao nodded gently: "No matter what, you are still my Uncle Xu, Second Young Master is my best brother, and you are also my respected elder."
He spoke with great sincerity and clear eyes as he continued slowly, “From the very first time, when Lu Bancheng went to the coffee shop seeking a commission. I only later discovered that the Black Knights’ main target was actually you, not Lu Bancheng. At first, I might have thought it was a business dispute between you and some large European conglomerate that led to a revenge killing. Someone paid to hire the Black Knights, this mercenary group with superpowers, to deal with you, but soon I realized that things weren’t that simple.”
"Hmm." Old Xu twitched the corner of his mouth.
"You seem to be more than just an ordinary businessman. You were the one who introduced Lu Bancheng to the coffee shop for help. I was wondering, since you knew about Lao Tian and his group at the coffee shop, why didn't you ask for their help yourself? Then, I suddenly had another guess. Perhaps you know Lao Tian and his group. It's just that for some reason, it's inconvenient for you to meet them in person, so you led Lu Bancheng there instead."
"You guessed right." Old Xu smiled slightly. "However, I didn't deliberately hide this from you. These days, I've been having Second Young Master go to the coffee shop and meet with a few old guys. You've seen it all. I didn't intentionally hide it from you."
“Hmm. That’s why I’m even more curious… Uncle Xu, who exactly are you?” Chen Xiao frowned. “And last time, Brother Little Red Robe’s territory was attacked by the Black Knight’s Tyrannosaurus Rex, which even attracted the famous superpower expert, Yaksha. Brother Little Red Robe has almost completely stopped interfering in the Xu family’s affairs. If it was just a gangster feud, humph, how could the underworld organizations in K City possibly have the ability to contact such a mysterious superpower organization! It’s even less likely that they would pay to hire superpowered individuals to participate in such a gangster feud! Ordinary underworld organizations don’t have that kind of ability. I understood that back then.”
Old Xu chuckled: "Hmm. You're right."
Chen Xiao sighed, looking at Old Man Xu with some worry, and slowly said, "Uncle Xu, you told me last time at your birthday celebration that there were many things you couldn't tell me. So, I haven't asked you anything. Today you..."
"Hmm." Old Xu seemed lost in thought for a moment before waving his hand, a slightly bitter smile on his face. "Times have changed. I didn't say anything back then because I always harbored some illusions about you. Alas, you were so young, and a junior I admired. I always hoped you wouldn't enter this circle. But it seems you've already entered it. Now, I can't keep quiet about it. It's just a pity that I originally wanted to send you and the second young master abroad to study, so you could complete your studies peacefully and become ordinary businessmen in the future. But now it seems that's not possible."
Chen Xiao's eyes flickered: "Uncle Xu, who... exactly are you?"
"I won't answer that question right now. Be patient, and I'll explain everything to you today." Old Xu stared at Chen Xiao for a few more moments, then shook his head, seemingly quite regretful. "What a pity, what a pity... The look on your face now is just like mine back then, full of curiosity and longing for this magical circle. Sigh..."
After stopping Chen Xiao from asking questions, Old Man Xu slowly began to tell his story.
"Chen Xiao, since you've had contact with the service organization and the club, you can be considered a person in the superpower world. So do you know which is the largest superpower organization in the world?"
“…This is naturally the service center,” Chen Xiao replied after thinking for a moment.
But upon hearing this answer, Old Man Xu calmly shook his head: "Your answer isn't exactly wrong. In terms of overall strength, the Service Society is the strongest and oldest of all the independent organizations in the supernatural world. But in a sense, it's not the biggest."
Chen Xiao was a little confused. Did "maximum" and "strongest" mean different things?
"Around the 19th century, service societies emerged in Europe. The earliest service societies were founded with the aim of uniting all those with supernatural abilities, enabling them to help each other. This organization was established to provide services to the vast number of people with supernatural abilities. It can be said that it is one of the oldest and most influential organizations for people with supernatural abilities in the world. Service societies enjoy a very high reputation within the supernatural community. Even in recent years, with the rise of clubs posing a strong challenge, in the hearts of everyone in the supernatural community, service societies remain the undisputed number one supernatural organization in the world. This evaluation is not simply based on a comparison of strength, but more importantly, because service societies occupy a very important position in the history of the supernatural community—a position that no other organization can replace!"
