Chapter Summary
Without restraint the body can suffer permanent damage, and even if Old Master Wang could find a treasure, it wouldn't heal the harm quickly. Truth was, the two had never gotten along; if not for training, Wang Fang wouldn't set foot here. We're well-regarded in the trade; what harm is there in your grandson joining us?' Old Master Wang had tried to stay calm, but those words snapped his restraint; he slammed the table.
‘You little brat, you're shaking your grandpa to pieces. Sit still! I've known your training results for ages—why else would the house be full of cameras? I've seen everything. But I still have to warn you: don't push yourself too hard. Overdo it and you'll ruin your body; that's a lifetime problem.'
A grandson's progress is gratifying, but it must be kept in moderation. Without restraint the body can suffer permanent damage, and even if Old Master Wang could find a treasure, it wouldn't heal the harm quickly.
The two of them chatted happily. Wang Jun could see his grandfather hadn't been this cheerful in ages; tonight he could finally share a drink with him. Just as Wang Jun was about to suggest dinner, the smile vanished from Old Master Wang's Face. Then Wang Jun caught a whiff of perfume—Second Sister's scent. So much for supper.
‘Where do you think you're running off to? I just got back and you're leaving? Am I not your grandfather? Are you really like a mouse fleeing a cat?'
Old Master Wang thundered. When he spotted Wang Fang, she didn't even greet him before heading out. Truth was, the two had never gotten along; if not for training, Wang Fang wouldn't set foot here.
To be blunt, the relationship between this grandpa and granddaughter was poor. Old Master Wang firmly opposed Wang Fang's marriage, so they usually stayed silent. He'd had her boyfriend investigated: nothing overtly wrong, but certain details suggested questionable values, so the old man flatly refused.
He kept the findings from Wang Fang to avoid scarring her growth.
‘I don't care about that damn nonsense of yours—tell me about this trip you're planning.'
Old Master Wang studied his granddaughter. Among many descendants, this girl mattered greatly, so he softened; seeing her after so long, he didn't want to play villain and changed the subject.
Wang Fang exhaled in relief. Her younger brother, the Family heir, heading into the Wilderness was no small matter; Grandpa would demand details. She laid everything out clearly. In the old man's eyes she surpassed most boys—except in picking boyfriends—so he hated seeing her with that lad.
Hearing the boy had improved rapidly and wanted experience outside, the old man beamed; the younger generation striving was exactly what he wished to see. Yet when he learned the boy planned to join Wang Fang's Squad, his joy evaporated.
‘Why that Squad? Is it so indispensable? Can't you join another? With your strength, why doesn't your master form a new Squad?'
The old man spared no courtesy. Though he'd promised to drop the subject, he couldn't help it. A straight-shooter all his life, he loathed men like Wang Fang's boyfriend. He saw at a glance the fellow didn't love the girl—he only wanted to use her as a ladder into This City's Upper Class.
Wang Fang, naturally, couldn't see it. In concealing his motives, the old man had to admit the youngster was skilled; no wonder his granddaughter was bewitched.
Old Master Wang had data: whenever Wang Fang was with the boy, she quietly solved countless troubles for him. Though the Family wasn't directly involved, its influence was undeniable—wherever Wang Fang appeared, others gave Face to the Wang name.
‘Grandpa, what are you doing? Have I done something wrong these years? Has Lie Lei? Even if you disapprove of him, why condemn our whole Squad? We're well-regarded in the trade; what harm is there in your grandson joining us?'
Old Master Wang had tried to stay calm, but those words snapped his restraint; he slammed the table. Wang Jun hurriedly poured tea and shot pleading glances—if this blew up, Second Sister might stay away for ages.
The old man had faced battlefields and fearsome Vicious Beasts Outside the City without flinching, yet before his grandchildren he sometimes had to yield. If not for considering his granddaughter's feelings, he'd have disposed of that boy long ago. With his current power, even a Junior Battle General-level Expert couldn't withstand him.
‘Grandpa, our master considered it too. We thought of forming our own Squad, but we're too young; in the Wilderness we need veterans or we'll suffer. Lie Lei's Squad performs well out there—let us try just once?'
Wang Jun ventured carefully. He wasn't speaking for that fellow; the plan was already set. They couldn't cancel the expedition because of Grandpa. Besides, Invincible Zhao's side was involved as well; Old Master Wang had to give Face.
‘Very well—this time we'll do as you ask. But I'm warning you: when you return, you must break with that man. If you stay with him, don't blame your grandfather for being ruthless. I've never used my status to pressure him, but this is my final warning: if he doesn't leave you, he'll have no place in This City. And this is my last warning to you…'
