Chapter 84

Dad!

Shan Ming was struck as if by lightning. He quickly turned his head and stared at the black and red demonic mask. Through the narrow slits of the eyes, he looked into the icy gaze of those frosty eyes and was too shocked to speak.

Dad?

Who else would call him Dad in this lifetime?

But… his memories of Shen Changze remained frozen in the image of a boy from four years ago. That boy, who was half a head shorter than him, with a youthful face and a clear voice, never had such cold eyes.

“You… Changze?” Shan Ming was a little excited, he momentarily disregarded the current situation they were in.

Thin lips beneath the mask curled into a mocking smile. “You still remember me? How touching.”

Shan Ming immediately sensed the strong resentment emanating from him. Was it because he had sent him away?

Was this really the little squirt he had picked up?

Right now, he was taller than him, stronger than him, and completely transformed into a man, a man he didn’t recognize.

Fuck, how is this the cheap son he picked up?

The audience went wild, honking horns, banging on car roofs, shouting at the top of their lungs, creating a high-decibel noise that fueled the frenzy of death in the arena. In unison, they shouted, “Kill him! Kill him!”

Shen Changze held Shan Ming’s waist, causing Shan Ming’s feet to almost left off the ground. He caught a whiff of the familiar scent that haunted his dreams from Shan Ming’s body, feeling momentarily distracted.

Shan Ming gritted his teeth and asked, “Why are you here?”

Shen Changze’s attention was brought back to the present by Shan Ming’s question. He licked Shan Ming’s ear and said, “Surprised to see me here? I should be staying in a lab forever right?!” He opened his mouth and took a bite of Shan Ming’s ear, then proceeded to lick the salty and bloody wound.

Shan Ming winced in pain, furrowing his brow. This person was too unfamiliar to him, bearing almost no resemblance to the son he remembered. He started to doubt if this person was really Shen Changze. How could he have changed like this?

He had considered the inhumane experiments that Shen Changze would undergo after going back with Tang Tingzhi. However, he believed that Shen Changze could endure them. In fact, Shen Changze’s good health would be beneficial for the government, and he would ultimately become even stronger.

Shen Changze’s fate wasn’t something he had the power to choose, so he chose what he could—the Peregrine Falcon’s safety. If this made the child hate him, he had nothing to say.

The outcome of the current situation on the stage was no longer in doubt. Shan Ming checked the time and knew that Ayer and the others should be making their move.

Sure enough, amidst the chaotic noise, gunshots were completely drowned out. A significant figure from the Aohi Society had been shot, causing chaos on their side. The leader of the Mochizuki Group quickly got into a car, escorted by Jobb and the others, preparing to evacuate. It was time for the Peregrine Falcons to clear the scene.

Shen Changze sensed that he was being targeted by a sniper. He swiftly carried Shan Ming and jumped off the arena, rushing towards the back of the parking lot.

He knew Kali very well. A sniper would go without eating, drinking, or moving for three days and three nights, just waiting for the perfect moment to shoot. They knew that once the shot was fired, their location would be exposed, and the next thing to come would be a hail of machine gun fire and artillery shells, ready to take their life at any moment. So, that one shot had to be valuable. But Kali, this madman, was somewhat different. As long as it didn’t hinder the team’s offensive, he had no fear of exposing himself. Even with only a thirty percent accuracy rate, he would dare to pull the trigger, and more often than not, he would hit his mark. Kali was a top-notch sniper. Even someone as nearly invincible as Shen Changze, a Dragon Blood Kin, couldn’t ignore the threat posed by him. Bullets fired by a sniper could penetrate not only dragon scales but even armored vehicles.

Therefore, with the vehicles and crowds as cover, he rushed into the exclusive elevator, carrying Shan Ming with him.

Shan Ming made a few unsuccessful attempts at surprise attacks, “Where do you plan on taking me?”

Shen Changze didn’t reply but instead focused on the floor numbers displayed in the elevator.

They continued all the way to the top floor, where Shen Changze carried him to the rooftop, where a helicopter stood alone.

Shan Ming’s voice carried a trace of anger, “What are you planning? Put me down, I have something to say to you.”

Shen Changze gave him a cold glance instead of answering. He reached up and removed his mask, tossing it to the ground.

Shan Ming stared blankly at the face before him. Although he had a slight suspicion about this person’s identity just now, when he saw this handsome face that bore a striking resemblance to the one in his memories, he was still stunned.

A wave of emotion silently surged in his heart. The child had really grown up. His son, had truly grown up.

Then he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck and fainted.
