While reporting to headquarters, the fighter pilot awaited instructions, as the opportunity could be fleeting. When they were about a kilometer away, the pilot spotted Zhou Xuan and Wang Xin flying over the sea. Upon seeing the actual situation, the pilot was genuinely startled. Was it real? Could there really be people who could fly?
In this country, it's quite common to see fantasy things like monsters and Ultraman in movies and comics. Zhou Xuan actually really dislikes the Ultraman character.
The pilot then received instructions from headquarters: to launch a missile at the flying target.
Four fighter jets flew side by side. The first aircraft on the left launched a missile. This air-to-air missile had a computer control system that could track and analyze the locked target and could distinguish camouflage.
When Wang Xin saw the fighter jets chasing after her, she trembled with fear. Zhou Xuan was expending energy to use his special ability to condense a barrier to block the wind for her, so he couldn't increase his speed any further. If he increased his speed, he couldn't guarantee the barrier's effectiveness.
When the fighter jets appeared, Zhou Xuan was not worried. Although he could not increase his speed, the fighter jets could not hurt him. Now he was considering whether to dive into the water and travel on the seabed to avoid the fighter jets.
However, Zhou Xuan was enraged as soon as the missiles were launched. His philosophy was that as long as the other side did not make the first move, he would not make a move and would try to avoid it. But if the other side made a move, he would have to return the favor to them. Just think about it, if he did not have this extraordinary ability, wouldn't he be able to bully them at will?
Just like Wang Xin, if it weren't for his appearance, wouldn't Wang Xin have also been harmed by those gangsters? Perhaps from that moment on, Wang Xin would have become a different person, and his life would have become like hell.
The missile was faster than the plane. When it flew behind Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan used his special ability to convert and devour the computer chip inside the missile. The missile immediately lost its target. Zhou Xuan dodged a little more, flew to the middle of the missile, and used his hand to deflect the missile back. He turned the missile around and then pushed it hard against the plane that launched the missile.
The missile flew back at an even higher speed because Zhou Xuan pushed it hard, doubling its speed. The fighter jet was already very close, less than a kilometer away. With the missile flying back at high speed, it didn't have time to dodge. With a "boom", the plane was blown to pieces, and the pilot didn't even have time to eject from the cockpit.
The other three fighter jets immediately scattered in panic, reducing their speed significantly to create distance between themselves and Zhou Xuan, while simultaneously reporting to headquarters.
In less than thirty seconds, the military high command issued an order for three fighter jets to simultaneously launch air-to-air missiles and shoot down Zhou Xuan as if he were an object.
The three fighter jets immediately locked onto Zhou Xuan and then launched three missiles, which roared and flew rapidly behind Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan sneered and turned to look at the missiles. The sun's flames swept out with his gaze, and the three missiles were immediately scorched and detonated by the sun's flames. With three loud "booms", the three missiles exploded in the air, like three cotton clouds bursting open.
Before the smoke cleared, Zhou Xuan's gaze swept over the three fighter jets again. Simultaneously, the sun's flames erupted, and the three fighter jets were destroyed at the same time. Then, within a second, the military lost contact with several aircraft, and the radar could no longer track them.
Zhou Xuan then sank into the sea. Under the protection of his supernatural screen, Wang Xin was as if she were enclosed in a small submarine, without any danger. However, she could not see anything. In the sea, the light was very poor, and it was almost impossible to see anything. Of course, Zhou Xuan's eyesight was not affected at all.
Wang Xin nervously clung to Zhou Xuan's waist. Although she couldn't see what was happening in front of her, she understood that Zhou Xuan had taken her underwater. This showed that Zhou Xuan's abilities were truly omnipotent, capable of anything from the heavens to the sea, making her feel as if she had been in a dream, an unbelievable dream, a beautiful and thrilling fantasy.
In the ocean floor, Zhou Xuan traveled at almost the same speed as he had been flying in the air. It only took him half an hour to reach the vicinity of the East China Sea continent. When he reached the seabed near the shore, Zhou Xuan slowed down and brought Wang Xin out of the water.
Zhou Xuan had already scouted this area; it was uninhabited and a very remote coastal zone. Once ashore, Zhou Xuan deactivated his supernatural screen and then asked Wang Xin, who was still staring blankly, "Wang Xin, what are your thoughts now? Go back to your hometown? Or come work at the place I arranged for you?"
At this moment, Wang Xin absolutely believed Zhou Xuan's words and also believed that Zhou Xuan was not after her beauty. With such extraordinary abilities, everything he said before seemed to be true!
"Hmm..." Wang Xin hesitated for a while before saying, "I... I think I should go back to my hometown first. I have a request, I wonder if you can grant it?"
Zhou Xuan asked in surprise, "Going back to your hometown? Well..." Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then I'll give you a year's salary in advance!"
The two walked to the road by the sea and found a small restaurant to eat. When they saw the restaurant staff greeting them warmly and speaking familiar words, Wang Xin suddenly burst into tears!
Zhou Xuan understood how she felt at that moment, but he didn't know what to say to comfort her. Wang Xin had already believed him. Since Zhou Xuan had such great ability to give her a million-dollar annual salary, money and work were no longer a problem for her, nor were the family's debts. The only problem was why Zhou Xuan would help her so selflessly.
If we're talking about her, aside from her body, Wang Xin really can't think of anything else about her that could be of any use to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan said calmly, "Wang Xin, don't keep thinking that I only have those feelings for you. I helped you just by chance. Besides, you are Chinese and from my hometown. How could I stand by and watch you die and let those beasts hurt you?"
Wang Xin blushed, realizing that no matter what she was thinking, Zhou Xuan could probably read her mind; Zhou Xuan's abilities were beyond her comprehension.
Zhou Xuan then said, "Wang Xin, now that I've saved you, I have one request!"
Wang Xin nodded and quickly said, "Tell me, as long as it's within my power, I will definitely do it, anything!"
From Wang Xin's words, Zhou Xuan sensed another layer of meaning: since ancient times, heroes have never been without the company of beautiful women. She herself was also a beautiful woman, and beautiful women naturally love heroes, especially since Zhou Xuan, this hero, had rescued her from disaster!
She just didn't know if she, a beautiful woman, could win Zhou Xuan's love.
Zhou Xuan was no longer reading her thoughts, so he didn't realize what Wang Xin was thinking. After hearing Wang Xin's unhesitating agreement, he nodded and said, "Alright, you should understand that from the moment I saved you, you should have known that I am a rather special person. I hope you can keep this secret for me. At the same time, if you need my help, as long as it is within my power, that's fine too!"
Wang Xin immediately shook her head and said, "Brother Zhou, I don't need anything else. You've helped me so much, I'm already content. All I need is a job. I hope to work hard for you for the rest of my life!"
Hearing Wang Xin sincerely say that she wanted to work for him for life, Zhou Xuan's heart stirred. He remembered what Fu Tianlai had wanted to do before, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Wang Xin, do you really want to work for me? If I really give you a career for life, would you be willing?"
Wang Xin nodded without hesitation and replied, "I'm willing!"
Wang Xin didn't even bother to ask Zhou Xuan what he was talking about before agreeing. Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment. He was happy that someone like Wang Xin was willing to go with him. He needed a group of loyal people by his side. The mercenaries Chen Chao hired were all mercenaries who only cared about money and had no regard for feelings. Money wasn't the issue, but such people would inevitably cause some unexpected problems sooner or later. Zhou Xuan himself didn't need to worry, but his family didn't have his capabilities, so he had to be careful.
Zhou Xuan thought for a moment before saying, "Wang Xin, let me make this clear to you. Think it over before you make a decision. I won't force you to come with me. Have you ever heard of the Fu family, the richest Chinese in New York?"
Wang Xin nodded and said, "Of course I know. Mr. Fu Tianlai is now the world's richest man. But I heard that he transferred all his assets and shares to his grandson-in-law. I'm not familiar with this person. I heard he's a wealthy man in China. Brother Zhou, why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"I..." Zhou Xuan said with a smile, "Actually, I'm the grandson-in-law of the Fu family!"
"Ah..." Wang Xin was truly surprised again, exclaiming in surprise. Then, a look of disappointment appeared on her face, but it was fleeting, and she immediately returned to her normal expression.
Zhou Xuan smiled wryly and said, "Wang Xin, I won't lie to you. It's because I have this special ability that I want to buy a piece of land or an island in some small countries to establish an independent kingdom. I want to invite you to work in such a place. My wealth is enough that I don't need to make any more money. It's enough for me to spend as I please for ten lifetimes. I want to buy such a place and make it my paradise, a place without ugliness, conflict, oppression, or pressure. I just want such a place!"
Wang Xin finally understood Zhou Xuan's meaning completely. He had just revealed his identity to her. With the identity of the richest Chinese person, what couldn't he do?
Moreover, the Fu family has now surpassed the world's richest person to become the new richest person in the world. Wang Xin naturally saw the news that mentioned it. If he wanted to buy land and islands, it would be unbelievable to her, but for Zhou Xuan, it would be an extremely easy thing.
Besides, Zhou Xuan's earth-shattering abilities are something far more astonishing than his wealth!
The waiter brought out the food, which was a typical hometown dish: stir-fried tofu with pork, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, egg and tomato soup, etc. With all her worries gone, Wang Xin felt cheerful and ate her meal with relish. She ate two bowls and drank a large bowl of soup, which was quite unusual for her. Zhou Xuan, on the other hand, ate less than her.
When it came time to leave and they went to pay the bill, Zhou Xuan realized that he didn't have any RMB, only US dollars. Wang Xin, on the other hand, only had Japanese yen. In China, US dollars are generally accepted, but Japanese yen is rarely accepted because no one here uses it. They weren't sure about the exchange rate of the yen, and they had also heard that the yen wasn't used much for money. Who knew how much they would need to accept?
Upon seeing this, the woman said, "I don't recognize US dollars, and I don't know how much change I need. I think..."
Zhou Xuan smiled and pushed the hundred-dollar bill over, then said, "Keep the change, here's the hundred-dollar bill for you!"
The woman hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, no, that won't do. Your hundred dollars is worth six or seven hundred dollars, while my vegetables are only worth twenty or thirty dollars. No matter how much more you ask, I can't charge you six or seven hundred dollars, um..."
After thinking it over, the woman was still in a dilemma. If she wanted to waive the cost of Zhou Xuan's meal, it would be another several tens of yuan, which was difficult for her small business. But if she wanted to accept it, it was worth more than 600 yuan. It was not easy for her to make that much profit. Moreover, since she had never dealt with US dollars before, she didn't know if the item was fake. If it was fake, her loss would be huge. But it would be too late to ask her friends to verify it, and she didn't have the time.
