I have a wizarding world
#66 - Zhao Anquan
Zhao Anquan was a Chinese resident on Anlu Island.
His ancestors, seeking refuge from the war in China, fled overseas, eventually arriving at Anlu Island in the South Pacific, hoping for a haven, but instead finding their final resting place.
The local residents were very hostile to outsiders, and his grandfather was persecuted to death by them.
As the Pasa Islands integrated with the international community, although the economy didn't develop much, they adopted the Western concepts of human rights and democracy, which had its benefits, at least Zhao Anquan no longer feared suffering the same fate as his grandfather.
But being alive didn't mean living well; despite being forty years old and having studied in the United States, he still faced discrimination in his current homeland and couldn't find a decent job.
The local residents of the Pasa Islands numbered only about five million and mainly relied on fishing for a living. Even as a fisherman on a boat, Zhao Anquan was rejected.
Without a job, there was no income, and life was naturally very difficult. This feeling of torment was even stronger when he saw his daughter lying in the hospital bed.
Night fell.
In the residential area of Anlu Island, inside a dilapidated mud house.
"Dad, are you home so early today?"
Inside the house, on a worn-out bed, a young girl of eleven or twelve smiled as she saw her father return.
The girl's face was an unhealthy pale, and it seemed that even saying such a sentence took great effort.
"Yeah," Zhao Anquan said, looking at his daughter in the hospital bed. Although he was in great pain, he tried to put on a brave face. "I finished work early today."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, but even twelve-year-old Zhao Ziyue could see the forced nature of the smile.
"See what Dad brought you back?" Zhao Anquan turned his head slightly and took out a foil-wrapped grilled fish from his arms.
Zhao Ziyue sniffed and a happy look appeared on her face; "It's grilled fish!"
Zhao Anquan looked at his pale-faced daughter's innocent smile, his eyes welled up with tears. He handed over the grilled fish and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, careful not to be noticed by his daughter.
God, if you can save my daughter, I am willing to give everything! He prayed in his heart, wailing!
Outside the house, Fang Cheng looked at the dilapidated mud house with broken window glass.
"Is this the place, Yunmeng?" he asked into his phone.
"That's it, Fang Cheng," a sweet voice came from the phone, it was Fang Cheng's exclusive artificial intelligence, Yunmeng.
"Okay."
After Fang Cheng said "Okay," he knocked on the door.
"Knock knock knock."
Zhao Anquan was startled by the knock on the door. His grandfather had been beaten to death by local residents after a group of people knocked on his door in the dark.
Hearing the knock on the door in the dark at this time, he naturally felt like a frightened bird.
"Who... who is it?" Zhao Anquan shielded his daughter behind him and mustered up the courage to shout.
"Is Mr. Zhao home? I'm from Yuncheng Biotechnology."
Yuncheng Biotechnology? Hearing the reply from outside the door, Zhao Anquan's heart stirred. He had certainly heard of the name Yuncheng Biotechnology. The news that a wealthy man was going to invest on the island had been spreading like wildfire these past few days.
However, Zhao Anquan was different from those ignorant islanders. He had received higher education and knew that the name of this newly established and only company on the island was Yuncheng Biotechnology.
Moreover, as someone who usually paid attention to international news, he also knew that there was a very famous technology company called Yuncheng Intelligent Technology internationally. Although information on the island was relatively limited, there were still some channels to learn about these international news.
It was just that the local residents' education level was too low and they simply wouldn't pay attention to these things.
Thinking of this, Zhao Anquan took a deep breath and opened the door.
As the door opened, a young man with short hair stood at the door. The young man was quite tall, he estimated, more than half a head taller than himself. More importantly, the young man in front of him was also Chinese. Seeing this, Zhao Anquan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hello, I'm Fang Cheng, the founder of Yuncheng Biotechnology," Fang Cheng said, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, and took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Zhao Anquan."
Zhao Anquan rubbed his hands and extended his dark right hand, his palm covered with calluses.
After shaking hands with Fang Cheng, Zhao Anquan carefully sized up the young man in front of him who looked unbelievably young. Was he the wealthy man?
"What can I do for you?" Zhao Anquan asked cautiously.
"Can we talk in private?"
Fang Cheng glanced at the girl behind Zhao Anquan, a blooming age of twelve or thirteen, but she had leukemia. According to Yunmeng's information, if a suitable bone marrow couldn't be found within three months, she might not survive.
"Okay." Zhao Anquan looked at his daughter behind him and nodded.
The two walked to a secluded spot outside the house.
"Mr. Fang, what can I do for you?" After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Anquan took the initiative to ask.
"I heard that Mr. Zhao's daughter has leukemia," Fang Cheng didn't answer his question, but asked instead.
Hearing this, Zhao Anquan's expression changed.
After a long while, Zhao Anquan nodded.
"I want to make a deal with Mr. Zhao."
"What deal?"
"I can help you treat your daughter's illness, but I need something from you," Fang Cheng's voice was a little ethereal.
But when Zhao Anquan heard this sentence, he grabbed Fang Cheng's wrist like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, and said anxiously: "You can help me cure my daughter's illness?"
Fang Cheng glanced at him and said nothing.
Seeing Fang Cheng's expression, Zhao Anquan knew that he was too rash, and quickly let go of his hand: "I'm sorry, I..."
Fang Cheng waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.
"What do you think?" Fang Cheng asked.
Zhao Anquan's expression suddenly became ferocious, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he gritted his teeth: "As long as it can cure my daughter, I am willing to do anything."
He had already gone all out, because he knew that this was the only chance to treat his daughter. With himself penniless, he couldn't think of any reason why the person in front of him would deceive him.
"What do you want me to do?" Zhao Anquan stared at Fang Cheng nervously.
"I want your soul." In the darkness, Fang Cheng used a little mental inducement, and his voice seemed a little eerie in the dark night.
Zhao Anquan trembled all over, hardened his heart: "As long as it can save my daughter, even if it takes my life."
Fang Cheng looked at the person in front of him who was weak but great, and for the first time, he felt a little despicable.
The next day.
Fang Cheng gained someone who was absolutely loyal to him, and Zhao Anquan also obtained enough treatment costs for his daughter.
Although Fang Cheng's move was a bit opportunistic, the casting conditions for soul enslavement were really harsh, because it couldn't be resisted by the caster, otherwise the soul enslavement spell would not succeed and would only tear apart the soul of ordinary people.
This was also why Fang Cheng felt that this spell was useless. Casting it on an ordinary person was not necessarily successful. What was it if it wasn't useless?
But the effect of soul enslavement was definitely terrifying. It was different from when Fang Cheng used soul tokens to control Renault. Being controlled by soul tokens only meant controlling the controlled person's life and death, but couldn't control their will.
Soul slaves were different. They obeyed the master wholeheartedly, and sincerely believed that the master's orders and interests were above everything else. For the sake of the master, they could completely lose all their bottom lines. But at the same time, their consciousness was clear. Apart from being loyal to the master, everything else was no different from before.
"From now on, you will help me take care of the establishment of the island's laboratory. Yunmeng will assist you," Fang Cheng instructed.
"Yes, Master," Zhao Anquan said seriously.
"You don't have to call me Master in the future, just call me Boss."
"Yes, Boss."
Fang Cheng looked at Zhao Anquan's respectful appearance and nodded. The biological laboratory had already begun preparations, but it would still take some time to be fully built. Next, there were also the laboratory's researchers and the production of Merlo potions that needed to be resolved.
Fang Cheng rubbed his forehead, things were getting more and more numerous.
