Volume 1, Chapter 699: The Sky Collapses and the Earth Rises
Chapter 699 The Sky Collapses and the Earth Shatters
At this moment, Zhou Xuan felt full of energy, and his superpower instantly returned to its strongest state. The powerful energy of the underground magma continuously replenished his depleted physical strength!
Zhou Xuan was oblivious to everything else, focusing solely on absorbing the energy from the molten lava. However, he was unaware that his frantic absorption was causing the entire island to shake, and countless cracks to appear on the ground, with thick smoke rising from them!
Bob and Wei Haihong, who were watching from a distance, were all shocked. Bob and the others were shocked for their own lives, while Wei Haihong was shocked for Zhou Xuan's safety!
In an instant, everyone screamed in panic, and it was this scream that startled Zhou Xuan from his reverie!
Zhou Xuan was stunned for a moment, then looked around. The world seemed to be about to collapse. He immediately used his supernatural ability to see through the underground situation. He was shocked to see that he had been frantically absorbing the energy of the underground magma, which caused the underground magma to move, the earth to crack, and the volcano to erupt. This was something he had never expected!
Fortunately, at this critical moment, Zhou Xuan regained his powerful supernatural abilities. Startled, he immediately took flight and instantly arrived beside Wei Haihong. With a lift, he lifted Wei Haihong and Louis, who was standing next to him, up together. After thinking for a moment, he said to the people next to him, "Try to hold onto both of them!"
The others didn't understand what Zhou Xuan meant, but Fas believed him completely, knowing he wouldn't harm them, and immediately grabbed Louis tightly.
When Bob and the others saw the ground beneath their feet cracking open with deep, bottomless fissures and molten lava gushing out, they screamed and scattered in all directions, ignoring Zhou Xuan's advice. At this moment, they chose to flee on their own rather than listen to Zhou Xuan.
Although Zhou Xuan was extremely capable, he didn't have three heads and six arms, and he couldn't capture so many people at once. So after speaking, he didn't say anything more, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded again, and he immediately flew into the sky.
Wei Haihong, Louis Fass, and the other two were suspended in mid-air when they cried out in alarm again. Zhou Xuan shouted, "Fass, hold on tight! Don't let go!"
He grabbed Wei Haihong and Louis with one hand and flew through the sky. At this moment, he was full of energy and his eyes were like lightning. He clearly detected the energy shield of the island and broke through it with a single collision using his superpower. In mid-air, the blazing sunlight shone on him and the solar energy continuously entered his body, making him feel warm. He could once again roam freely in the world.
Bob and the others, who were fleeing from danger on the ground, were both shocked and regretful when they saw Zhou Xuan take Wei Haihong and Louis Fass into the sky!
Zhou Xuan really did have such a peculiar ability, truly able to fly and disappear into the earth. And the reason he told them to hold on to Louis and Wei Haihong's bodies was to help them escape together. But he didn't trust him and chose to run away in different directions. Now he regretted it to the core!
Most of the others fell into the cracked ground and were swallowed by the lava, while Bob barely managed to grab onto a rock and shouted towards Zhou Xuan in the sky, "Mr. Zhou, save me, save me..."
Zhou Xuan sighed. There was nothing he could do. If he didn't escape further away, Wei Haihong and the others would be in mortal danger. Although he himself was fine, he had to abandon Bob and the others for Wei Haihong's sake. He wanted to save them, but there was nothing he could do unless he disregarded Wei Haihong's life or death.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan was at least a thousand meters above the ground, so only he could hear Bob's shouts, while Wei Haihong, Louis, and Fass could not hear them at all. Without hesitation, Zhou Xuan increased his speed and quickly flew away from the island.
Bob's hand went limp, and he could no longer hold on. He tumbled into the crevice, screaming in agony, filled with regret for not listening to Zhou Xuan. Instantly, lava churned all over the island, and flames shot up thousands of meters high. The volcano had finally erupted!
Fortunately, Zhou Xuan had already flown away from the island. Because he was carrying three people, he could not fly at his own speed and had to fly much lower. He also had to use some of his energy to protect the three people from the high temperatures caused by air friction. Without his special ability to protect them, even at his current speed, he would have burned the three people to a crisp.
Zhou Xuan used his special ability to protect Wei Haihong and the other two, but naturally he could no longer fly at super high speeds. However, even without his amazing speed, he was still faster than any other aircraft in the world. After flying from the island to within ten or twenty miles of the coast, Zhou Xuan stopped, placed the three people on the sea surface, and then slowly swam forward.
Although it was only a distance of ten or twenty miles, it was impossible to swim back. However, there were countless boats passing through this area, so Zhou Xuan was not worried.
Sure enough, less than five minutes later, two ships passed by, one a fishing boat and the other a cargo ship. Despite shouts from Louis and Fass, the cargo ship did not stop, but the fishing boat did.
The fisherman at the helm quickly lowered a lifebuoy so that the crew could rescue the people. The fishing boat was not big, only fifteen or sixteen meters long, with five or six crew members.
After the crew rescued Wei Haihong, Louis Fass, and the others, Zhou Xuan was the last to be rescued. Of course, Zhou Xuan was also unharmed, as were the other three. Louis and Fass basically knew that Zhou Xuan didn't want others to know his abilities, and they were still amazed by his abilities and marveled at their good fortune. If they hadn't been with Zhou Xuan, today would have been their day of reckoning. In such a dangerous situation, looking around the world, there was definitely no one else who could have saved them like this. It was probably only Zhou Xuan who had that ability!
Once they reached the shore, Zhou Xuan and the others thanked the people on the fishing boat profusely before returning to land.
Zhou Xuan then said to Wei Haihong and the others, "Brother Hong, Louis, Fass, I don't need to say more about this. You all know it should be kept secret. Although I don't care that much, for your own safety, please try not to talk about it."
Wei Haihong understood, of course, and Louis and Fas nodded repeatedly, saying, "Mr. Zhou, no problem. We will never tell anyone about this, even if it means our deaths."
Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment, unsure how to explain to Louis and Fass. All good things must come to an end. Once ashore, Louis and Fass needed to return to their normal lives, while he would send Wei Haihong back.
Without a second thought, Louis said, "Mr. Zhou, I am a loner with no family. Since I have done some things for you, I would like to ask you to let me stay. I will be your servant and work for you. I don't want to go anywhere else or deal with anything else!"
Phos echoed the sentiment, his situation was not much different from Louis's, he had no ties, and his life had been saved by Zhou Xuan. Today, seeing Zhou Xuan's incredible superhuman energy, how could he not be shocked?
Even if you follow someone like that, you won't regret it. Besides, Zhou Xuan is a loyal and righteous person, and I've seen that clearly over this period of time. Following him will definitely not result in any major losses.
Seeing the eager expressions on Louis and Fass's faces, Zhou Xuan had a sudden thought. He realized he was planning to recruit a group of international mercenaries, so bringing them back would be perfect. They were definitely better than others. After this experience, and because he had saved them, they had developed a bond over time. Besides, Louis and Fass were clearly devoted to him. They were the best candidates to recruit other mercenaries, and being experienced and skilled, they would be adept at this task!
Zhou Xuan thought for a moment before saying to Louis and Fass, "I don't object to you staying, but I should say this first: you can come with me, but you must change your previous wild habits or bloodthirsty nature. When you come to my place, besides protecting my family, you will only be protecting your own families and friends. There will be nothing else to do. I don't want my home to be so bloody!"
Louis and Fas were overjoyed upon hearing this. As long as Zhou Xuan took them in, they didn't care what they did. After all, Zhou Xuan was so rich and powerful that he would never mistreat them.
Seeing that the two had no objections, Zhou Xuan immediately hailed a taxi and then got into the car with Wei Haihong, Louis Fass, and others to head back to their home in Chinatown.
At home, Zhou Xuan met Li Wei, Wang Xin, and Wang Xin's parents, who were all waiting for Zhou Xuan's return at the Fu family home.
Zhou Xuan didn't have time to talk to them. Thinking of his wife, children, parents, and relatives, he quickly grabbed the smiling Fu Ying and kissed her hard, disregarding the presence of others.
Fu Ying blushed. Although she had been married to Zhou Xuan for so long, she was still a little shy. After struggling for a moment, she said to Zhou Xuan, "Zhou Xuan, I heard from Li Wei that you have urgent business to attend to. It probably won't be a matter of just a day or two. But Li Wei and the others only arrived yesterday. Why are you back today? Did you take care of the business?"
Zhou Xuan was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What? Li Weiwei only arrived yesterday?"
Zhou Xuan assumed that Li Wei, Wang Xin, and the others had been delayed in China. However, he had clearly dropped them off at the airport and left that same day. Could something have happened on the way? What accident occurred?
Li Wei said casually, "It only takes about twenty hours to get from Beijing to New York. Because of the time difference, I slept in all day at my beautiful sister-in-law's house. I just woke up and you're back. What have you been doing?"
Zhou Xuan was completely stunned. So much time had passed, so many days had been spent at sea, and so long had he been trapped on the island. How could it have been only a day?
Could it be that we've traveled through time again? However, Zhou Xuan is more likely to think that it's due to the mysterious energy on the island. It's very possible that time is slower on the island, so once we leave the island, only a day has passed outside!
Volume 1: The First Budding Buds, Chapter 700: The Grand Finale
Chapter 700: The Grand Finale
After inquiring about the date and time, Zhou Xuan was surprised to discover that the days spent on the island had only amounted to one day in real life!
Then, the beautiful housekeeper, Luo Ya, came in and reported some exciting news to Zhou Xuan: "Mr. Zhou, when I was on a mission in Europe before, I got to know some political figures from various countries, and it's proving useful now. I heard you and Mr. Fu mention that you wanted to buy a piece of independent land or an island. I just learned from a high-ranking official friend in Italy that there's a disputed island 90 kilometers southeast of Malta called 'San Minota'. It's a disputed island between Italy, Britain, the Arab world, and Malta. The island is 66 square kilometers and used to have 200,000 inhabitants. Due to the dispute and occasional conflicts, the island's residents have been evacuated, and it's practically a ghost town. Political figures from several countries seem interested in selling the island to a large international buyer. So, remembering what you said, Mr. Zhou, I contacted him. They seem to be interested. The four political figures are reportedly willing to sell permanent usage rights for 12 billion euros. I tried to negotiate a lower price, saying it was too high, but they seem to be softening their stance..."
