Chapter 269: Chapter 273 Interstellar Female Anchor (19)

Su Huaiyuan couldn’t bear it when he heard these words, his pride simply wouldn’t allow it. Even though he kept reminding himself that he should bow his head when it’s time to do so, that all this was only temporary, it was still very difficult to actually do.

He had always been accustomed to looking down on his younger sister Su Li. Now he’s supposed to accept the possibility of her insults?

After all, he had the dignity of an A-grade Superpower User.

With this in mind, Su Huaiyuan became contemplative for a moment before refusing to respond.

Su Shijun lifted his head in displeasure, "Why aren’t you saying anything?"

"Is it so difficult for you to let Su Li have her way just this once?"

Su Huaiyuan couldn’t help but retort, "Yes, I am unwilling."

In the past, no matter how unfairly he treated Su Li, no one would say anything. Now... it was better left unmentioned.

Su Shijun, already upset by Su Li’s rejection, felt a surge of anger rise straight to his head after being contradicted by Su Huaiyuan.

When he looked at this son he had always been so proud of, all he could see was someone unpleasant to eye.

This was the blatant evidence that he had been "given a Green Hat." How could any man not care about this matter?

Overwhelmed by anger, he couldn’t stop the furious words spilling from his mouth.

Su Shijun said, "Since you’re unwilling, then get out of the Su Family. Do you think you would have gotten this far without the Su Family...?"

"Fine, I’ll leave," said Su Huaiyuan coldly before turning to walk away.

He didn’t believe that an A-grade Superpower User couldn’t live well anywhere else.

As for the Su Family, what good would it do them to lose a Power User like him?

Actually, Su Shijun had just blurted out those angry words in a moment of impulse. If Su Huaiyuan had humbled himself and said a few soft words, Su Shijun might have ended up feeling guilty about how he treated Su Huaiyuan.

After all, whatever the dispute, it was between the adults, and at the time it first arose, he was but an uninformed child.

But Su Huaiyuan had long since developed the personality of a arrogant young master. Although he seemed polite and respectful to others on a daily basis, there really weren’t many people or things he truly cared about.

Su Shijun was furious, "Just like your mother, an ungrateful whit-eyed wolf that cannot be tamed."

Su Huaiyuan walked away without turning back, and Su Shijun immediately ordered that all resources invested in Su Huaiyuan by the Su Family be retracted.

Su Huaiyuan had high hopes, believing that as a Superpower User, he could receive preferential treatment anywhere he went.

But in reality, things were not as rosy as he thought.

His true identity was no secret within the circle, especially since the divorce case involving the Su Family had been quite sensational not long ago.

This resulted in larger families being unwilling to take Su Huaiyuan in as a Tributor, and though the smaller families, who valued his status as a Superpower User, laid out all the resources they could offer before him, Su Huaiyuan still found them lacking.

This was awkward. After leaving the Su Family, Su Huaiyuan went around only to realize his own naivety.

But now, he was too proud to return to the Su Family.

As many of his peers began to make breakthroughs after consuming large amounts of Void Creatures’ energy, Su Huaiyuan became even more anxious.

Not to mention, he also had a mother who was an encumbrance he couldn’t shake off.

Alice, unable to bear the humiliating environment, was seduced by malicious people into gambling. She deluded herself with dreams of striking it rich overnight, to win some capital for herself. However, she didn’t win any money; instead, she racked up a huge amount of debt, part of which was from loan sharks.

The debt collectors cornered her in her rented room. With trembling hands, Alice dialed Su Huaiyuan’s number, "Son, hurry back and save your mother."

Su Huaiyuan hadn’t even managed to ask what happened when he heard Alice’s panicked cries and a series of door-banging noises over the phone. The call was then abruptly disconnected.

Su Huaiyuan’s heart tightened, his mind went blank, and he hurried toward Alice’s residence.

Alice still mattered to him somehow.

"Please, give me a few more days," she begged, "My son is an A-level superpower user. He won’t ignore me."

Alice looked particularly wretched at the moment: hair in disarray, her makeup smeared beyond recognition—unclear if it was from tears or snot—her usually well-maintained appearance severely deteriorated, now truly reflecting her age.

The head of the casino enforcers, with a look of disgust, kicked Alice, "If it wasn’t for knowing your son is a superpower user, with the amount of debt you owe, we would have dragged you to the Golden Cave already."

Alice’s eyes glazed over, and her heart tightened, evidently understanding what the Golden Cave meant.

The Golden Cave was a legal brothel established for the lowest class of interstellar citizens, where for just fifty interstellar coins, one could pick a prostitute for a romp.

Just the thought of those dirty, greasy men taking advantage of her made Alice’s tears unstoppable.

The casino enforcer was quite pleased with Alice’s terrified demeanor, grinning and saying, "Scared now, huh? When your son gets here, you better have a good talk with him. Our boss has taken a liking to him. As long as he’s willing to tag along with our boss, not to mention clearing your debt, he’s guaranteed to live the good life."

When Su Huaiyuan arrived, a bruised and battered Alice pulled him aside and beseeched him in hushed tones.

Su Huaiyuan himself had been feeling unrecognized and snubbed lately. Although he found the idea of working for a gang boss distasteful, with Alice’s constant persuasion and his own wavering heart, it didn’t take long before he agreed.

Both mother and son thought that following the boss meant serving as a tributor to the gang, not considering there might be another layer of meaning to it.

The head enforcer saw Su Huaiyuan’s agreement and immediately revealed a lewd smile, laughing obscenely.

Su Huaiyuan was then taken to a villa.

"First let’s take you to meet the boss. Once you gain his favor, don’t forget to look out for your brother here, huh?"

Su Huaiyuan didn’t have time to consider the implication of the other’s words before being pushed through the villa’s grand entrance.

A fat man with a cigar in his mouth was lounging in a chair by the villa’s pool, legs crossed. Behind him stood a row of large men in black suits, wearing black sunglasses.

Looking at him, Su Huaiyuan thought this fat man was indeed fat, with layers of flesh piling up like a small mountain.

The look in the fat man’s eyes toward him was unpleasant.

"So you’ve arrived. I’ve played with superpower users before, but I’ve yet to taste what an A-level superpower user is like..."

Hearing this enraged Su Huaiyuan. Turned out they had such sordid intentions. He moved his hand, ready to teach them a lesson and show that the dignity of a superpower user was inviolable.

However, Su Huaiyuan suddenly couldn’t sense the superpower energy in his body. The fat man was waving a small suppressor in his hand.

This kind of suppressor, normally only seen in the hands of Federation high officials, had actually appeared in the hands of a gang boss.
