Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?



His friends?

Old Bho's eyes flashed with a cold menacing look, his grip tightening on his silver-handle cane the longer he stared. 

Such an imposing aura made even Chen Su's bodyguards sweat, but Chen Su was indifferent with a slight smile on his lips. 

"Calm down, old fool, I'm not an idiot who would go about harming them."

Speaking, Chen Su snapped his fingers and someone took out a fat cigar for him.

When in his mouth, another took out a lighter and humbly lit the cigar for his master. 

"Old fool, we all know we don't like each other since young… we've grown all these years to our late ages without ever poking each other's tail. So do you think it's at this age that I will start looking for endless trouble knowing my son will soon take over my Su clan and Industry empire?"

That would be a silly move.

If he wanted to make a move on them, he would've tried to do so a long time ago in his younger years when he still had more vitality and strength in his to cause a storm. 

What's more, although his Su family is strong and feared, it can't survive if it's to go against the Gia, Hou, Bho, and Ghu families all at once.

That would be public suicide to not just himself but his son. 

After living for so many years without mistakes, why would he desire to cross them now? 

Believe him, he wanted to, but only if he knew he was sure to win. 

.

"If you haven't any thoughts of harming them, could it be you are after them for business?"

Seeing Old Bho's imposing aura fade away, Chen Su slowly puffed out a whiff of smoke.

"Business? Well, not quite... I'm merely intrigued by why they've been off the radar for so long, can't I be?"

Chen Su's face suddenly turned cold, staring at Old Bho instantly. 

"Or could it be they are among something against my Su clan instead?"

Eh? 

Old Bho was taken aback, before laughing hard till his tummy ached. 

"So that's what has got you up in a pickle?" 

Old Bho felt it was funny but understandable. 

After all, his good buddies have been disappearing too often of late, raising suspicion in upper society. 

But only he knew what they were truly up to, after all, he was there and witnessed it live in the flesh to know the true dangers of this world. 

Tsk. 

After seeing what real monsters looked like, nothing Chen Su or anyone could do will ever make him scared.

Provided the enemy is human, everything is easily solvable. 

Chen Su himself didn't believe they would disappear to scheme on him.

He only said that so old Bho could defend then and 'accidentally' spill the beans on what they've truly been up to.

Typically, Old Bho is a person who has the worst poker face ever.

He wore all his emotions on his face and had an overly compulsive order to get overly excited when defending those he loved.

Chen Su was hoping that if he stimulated Old Bho enough, the bastard would leak out 1 or 2 vital pieces of information. 

It was impossible to say everything, but just a single price of news would be great. 

In their society, one must always stay ahead of both foes and friends. 

What if they are coming up with some exclusive contract that would better the city? 

In that case, the company that bids and wins the contract will make millions and maybe billions from the job.

In their world, one must always have their ears to the ground and never miss any information no matter what. 

Typically, the old fool might blurt out a thing or 2, but this time, Old Bho only thinned his lips, saying nothing after a good laugh. 

What do you want him to say? 

That his friends joined an academy that focused on fighting monsters around the world?

Do you want him to also say they were elders of this bizarre academy too?

Heh.

Should he dare to speak such words, anyone listening might seriously assume the academy was a madhouse or looney bin where mentally ill patients are kept and told they were fighting monsters.

Hell! 

Many might assume the patients (academy members) have been told to pretend to be Superman while saving the day. 

Really and truly, there was no good ending if he voiced the truth. 

Old Bho could only chuckle, as he slowly rose to his feet, intending to leave. 

"Old Su, you don't have anything to worry about. They aren't doing anything detrimental to you, but are just on a vacation together. As you know, it wasn't long ago that I too went on vacation, so I can go out again for a few more months... that's it... Until next time, old man."

Old Bho calmly nodded and left with his guards. 

He knew Chen Su didn't believe him, but so what? 

He had no choice but to believe. 

For his sake, Old Bho hoped he didn't go poking his nose into this matter. 

His friends were far stronger than before, especially Old Madam Ghu. 

Should she punch Chen Su now, he feared the old bag of bones might be crippled without a doubt. 

(_-_)

Alas... 

He truly missed them but knew he would soon be getting a chance to step into the academy, should he and the people in his Bho clan pass the entrance examinations.

It was amazing to say that at this age, entrance examinations still made him nervous.

Sigh... 

Old Bho shook his head wryly, knowing he still had a few months to go to prepare for the big day. 

As for his HBO clan members and guards selected for the examination, they didn't know what it was they were preparing. 

All they knew was that a week before the exam, they must fly in from all corners of the country and the world to partake in the exam. 

Like so, old Bho left the scene without nostalgia. 

---

"So you believe a word he said?"

"No." Sandongo, Chen Su's lead bodyguard replied without emotion. 

"Sir, they're hiding something."

"I know. But if we haven't been able to find out what it is after so long, it means we need tougher means to get it out... understand?"

Sandogo nodded calmly. "It will be done."

"Good. Ensure it's not traceable. You have just 2 weeks."

With that Chen Su also left with most of the bodyguards, leaving Sandogo with only a few.

"Let's go." 

With his orders, the men followed him without question.

They felt with tougher means, 2 weeks was enough to get at least a single clue on the matter to report back in case of failure. 

But how would they have known that even the many Bho workers and clan members had no clue about what was truly going on? 

Vrmmmmmm~

The vehicle took off in a flash. 

However, Chen Su wasn't the only one making dangerous moves. 

In the Main Grand Su Estate, a young man was sweetly entertaining a stunning girl with great beauty. 

The 2 hugged each other warmly, as they walked about the vast gardens holding hands. 

The young man was the future Su clan heir, a young man many equally young women yearned for.

But no matter how much they wanted him, his heart was also sold to the beauty beside him. 

Holding her hands, Ji Su couldn't believe how fortunate he was for this moment to come.

He weathered the storm for so many years, waiting and waiting in hope for the day that his kind Xiao Xiao will be his.

Sure enough, all good things take time to come, and his Xiao Xiao's love wasn't an exception. 

Finally, she saw that all those other boys were no good, choosing to settle with him, the future Su Heir. 

But although they were finally together, Xiao Xiao only agreed on the condition that he taught those trash Ghu Sota and Dorian Tian a lesson they won't forget in a hurry.

Xiao Feng La beside him, was also having dangerous thoughts when thinking of the 2. 

'Hmph! You 2 dare to turn my advances down and think you can go free? You lie! With how powerful my Ji Su is, I'm sure he will crush you all like bugs soon.. but why is it taking so long?'

You have to know that over the months,she had tried hiring gangs to do the job of killing Dorian while beating Ghu Sota up. 

However, for some reason, she has been blacklisted from the many gangs in the city after a single mention of Dorian's name.

They even threw her out on the streets while also egging her.

What she didn't know was that the first group of people she met for the job were those who Dorian saved on whuphil mountain.

Buckets of water were thrown on there and even rocks shot her way. 

Those people knew how dangerous Dorian was and now you ask them to kill him?

Blacklist!

Without warning, they stamped her name down, passing the information to others.

And now, apart from Ji Su, no one could help her take care of the matter. 

But why was he too proving useless by delaying the matter for so long?

Didn't he say he loved her? Didn't he say he would do anything for her?

Sure enough, all men are liars!
