Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 843: Wait for Your Return

I have a way.

These words were like a shot of confidence, making Xue Xi gradually regain her rationality.

She took a deep breath. “Really?”

Xiang Huai looked at the girl in front of him. Even someone who had always been strong panicked at such a moment. If it were in the past, she would definitely not have asked such a question.

Xiang Huai touched her cheek. “Mhm.”

Sensing that Xue Xi’s mental strength was extremely unstable, the surrounding time freeze seemed to be about to shatter. Xiang Huai waved his hand and time returned to its normal speed!

“Boom!”

The explosion continued.

The invisible radiation wave was spreading rapidly.

Jing Fei had already flown up. At the crucial moment, even though he was afraid of heights, he no longer cared about the fear.

It was too late for the people below to escape.

He could fly, but he would not.

At this moment, Jing Fei saw the mountain-like body slowly approaching.

Jing Fei instantly felt as though he had seen his savior. Hope shot out of his eyes as he rushed to Xiang Huai and Xue Xi. “Boss!”

His voice was aggrieved, as though he was a child who had seen his parents.

Xiang Huai sighed and kicked his butt. “Why are you crying?”

Jing Fei touched his tears. “I’m not crying! I’m being smoked!”

“Mhm.”

Xiang Huai ignored him and continued walking.

Sensing his actions, Jing Fei was suddenly stunned. “Boss.”

Xiang Huai did not speak, and his expression was solemn.

Jing Fei suddenly understood something and rushed to Xiang Huai. “Boss!”

Xiang Huai stopped. “Mhm?”

Jing Fei’s voice was a little choked. “You... Don’t tell me you intend to do it personally?”

Xiang Huai’s tall figure was calm and reliable. “Is there another way?”

Jing Fei clenched his fists. “B-But...”

His stutter made Xue Xi realize something. She grabbed Xiang Huai’s hand. “Tell me, what exactly are you planning to do?”

Xiang Huai sighed. “Little kid, there’s something I’ve been lying to you about. Oh, wait, it’s not a lie.”

Xue Xi paused.

Xiang Huai touched her hair. “It’s not that I don’t have a special power. I just can’t use it casually.”

He could not use his special power casually...

Xue Xi was stunned. “What’s your special power?”

Xiang Huai slowly said, his voice filled with loneliness and lowness. He said succinctly, “Seize.”

Seize?

Xue Xi paused.

Jing Fei sighed.

This guy kept saying that he did not know Boss’s special power, but he clearly knew.

However, Xue Xi did not understand. “What do you mean, seize?”

Xiang Huai smiled. “Come, let me show you.”

His relaxed tone made Xue Xi nod.

Immediately, she saw Xiang Huai reach out to the spot where the explosion had occurred!

His expression was very calm, but Xue Xi could see with her naked eye that the radiation waves and ions from the explosion had slowly condensed into a ball and rushed toward his palm!

Immediately, the energy disappeared into his body.

Xue Xi widened her eyes in shock.

She looked at everything in front of her in disbelief.

Seize...

Did he seize all the surrounding energy?

The mushroom cloud had disappeared.

All the surrounding radiation had also been absorbed.

Xue Xi suddenly recalled that back then, be it Jing Fei or Lu Chao, they had said, “Boss possesses the most awesome and formidable special power in this world...”

Ever since she found out about the existence of espers, she had thought that Time Freeze was the most powerful and heaven-defying ability she had ever seen. However, she did not expect this to exist in the world.

Seize!

Two minutes later, the scene returned to normal.

The nuclear materials that could affect millions of people and tens of kilometers seemed to have lost their vitality and quietened down.

Xue Xi felt that everything before her was like a dream.

She looked at Xiang Huai in disbelief.

The man’s face seemed even paler than when they first met, but his body was still so tall and straight. He slowly retracted his hand.

Xiang Huai then looked at her. “Little kid, I...”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly staggered.

Xue Xi hurriedly took a step forward and wanted to support him. However, just as her fingers touched his hand, she felt a hot temperature, as though heat was about to burn his skin and spew out of his body.

Xiang Huai retracted his hand. “Don’t come near me. There’s radiation.”

Xue Xi stood rooted to the ground.

The sobbing in Jing Fei’s voice became even more obvious. “Boss, you, you...”

Xue Xi realized something and stared at Xiang Huai. “Tell me the truth. What exactly happened to you?”

The energy emitted by the burning nuclear material was almost equivalent to an atomic bomb!

Xiang Huai waved his hand and stood up again. He wanted to say something, but he could not speak.

Seeing this, Jing Fei could only explain in a choked voice, “Boss’s ability is to seize! He can seize any kind of energy! Back then, in order to leave the International Esper Academy, Boss had once seized the energy of a nuclear bomb. If the Esper Academy did not let him leave, he could have destroyed it on the spot. Hence, they let him go. After that, Boss had been guarding the capital. Others did not dare to invade because of this! No one dared to challenge the energy in Boss’s body because once they did, it would destroy the entire city! Such a threat became China’s most formidable military reserve.”

A single person was equivalent to a moving atomic bomb?

Indeed formidable.

No matter what ability it was, in the face of absolute power, it was indeed too weak.

Jing Fei sighed. “But while this energy is a form of power, it’s also a restraint! Boss can’t use his ability casually. Once he uses it, he will destroy both jade and stone! All these years, Boss has been suppressing the riot in his body, so he often reads Buddhist scriptures and calms his mood. His emotions can’t fluctuate too much, you see...”

Buddhist scriptures.

Xue Xi suddenly recalled that when she first met him, this man was in the provision store every day, hiding in the dark and reading Buddhist scriptures. He was like an otherworldly expert, like a monk who had left his home...

At that time, she thought he was just bored, but now, everything made sense.

Jing Fei took a deep breath. “Back then, it took Boss four years to suppress that force before finally returning to normal. Today, he suddenly seized this... his body... his body...”

“Why are you crying?” Xiang Huai was afraid that Xue Xi would be worried, so he hurriedly said, “It’s just that the energy is a little too much this time. It will take a long time...”

He looked at Xue Xi and said gently, “Little kid, don’t worry. I’ll be fine. It’s just that the special department will have to rely on you for the time being.”

After saying this, he staggered away.

Xue Xi and Jing Fei followed behind him.

At this moment, the energy in Xiang Huai’s body was very unstable. Even from afar, she could feel the energy in his body seeping out.

They watched as Xiang Huai entered a car and started it, driving toward the city. They could only fly in midair and follow closely.

Just now, everyone in the capital had been ordered to hide in their rooms and not go out, so at this moment, there were very few people on the streets of the capital.

Xiang Huai entered a small path.

When the car stopped, Xue Xi realized that Xiang Huai had arrived at a basement.

When he alighted, his face was even paler and almost transparent.

He pointed at the car and ordered Jing Fei, “Deal with it.”

Jing Fei’s eyes were red from crying. He stood in the distance and saluted. “Yes!”

Xue Xi took a look and realized that the seat in the car had been burnt. Just as she was about to take a look, Jing Fei grabbed her arm. “This car has been contaminated by Boss. There’s slight radiation.”

Radiation...

Xue Xi’s eyes moistened. Xiang Huai had turned into a nuclear object!

Her voice trembled. “Where is he going?”

Jing Fei explained, “The basements here are all made of special metal materials. There’s also boron water around them. Once they’re closed, even if Boss can’t control it inside and releases radiation waves, it won’t leak out...”

However, Xue Xi knew that things were far from that optimistic.

She stared at Jing Fei and said, “Then how long will he stay inside?”

Would such high-intensity radiation not affect his body?

Jing Fei shook his head. “I don’t know.”

No one knew how long Boss would need this time.

Xue Xi looked at Xiang Huai from afar as he entered the basement. He pressed the button and the metal door slowly closed.

At that moment, Xiang Huai turned around and smiled at Xue Xi.

If not for his paler skin and the sweat on his forehead, Xue Xi might have really thought that Xiang Huai was just taking a vacation.

She clenched her fists. Just as the door was about to close, she suddenly shouted, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect the special department for you! I’ll wait for your return!”

Bang!

The door was completely closed.

The two of them were separated from each other.

Jing Fei clenched his fists.

He knew that everyone in the world was paying attention to Xiang Huai’s whereabouts. After Boss went into seclusion, the other countries would definitely be eyeing them covetously. China’s position in the esper world was in danger!!!

This was also why Boss did not make a move during the first explosion.

Because no matter how much they sacrificed, it was not as important as Boss’s freedom. His being locked in this basement was equivalent to trapping China’s soul!

Almost to confirm his guess, Jing Fei’s phone suddenly rang.
