Chapter 95

The scene fell into complete silence, and everyone was shocked.

The Dragon Blood Kin who claimed to be Shen Changze’s father slowly descended to the ground. It was evident that flying in mid-air had indeed taken a toll on physical strength, as a thin layer of sweat also appeared on his forehead.

Shen Changze also landed, and his expression changed. His lips trembled, opening and closing, but even after a while, he couldn’t utter a single word.

Shan Ming’s expression was also incredibly vivid. He looked back and forth between the middle-aged man and Shen Changze several times. The more he looked, the more resemblance he saw, and the colder his heart felt. An indescribable sense of suffocation filled his entire chest, as if something of his own was being taken away. He felt a stifling anger towards the man in front of him who claimed to be Shen Changze’s father, filled with disgust and hostility.

Shen Changze finally managed to speak, “You’re… my father.” When he had left home at the age of five, he was just beginning to form memories. His recollection of his biological parents had become incredibly faint. If they were to appear before him now, he was certain he wouldn’t recognize them.

After returning to China, he did make attempts to find his parents. However, both of them had been missing for years, and the military had been searching for them as well, but with no success.

He had contemplated the possibility that they might have already passed away. While he felt a sense of regret in his heart regarding this possibility, he didn’t feel particularly saddened by it. After all, his biological parents were distant figures in his life, especially since he already had Shan Ming by his side.

He never could have imagined that one day he would reunite with his biological father, especially not under such circumstances.

So they could only watch helplessly as Tang Jingzhi slipped away right under their noses.

A silence fell over the surroundings, and no one spoke a word.

After a while, Shen Changze lifted his head and stared at Tang Tingzhi, his eyes burning red. He clenched his teeth and said, “Tell me everything you know.”

“Shen Yao, 44 years old this year, he’s of the successful subjects of China’s second batch of Dragon Blood Kin experiments. His blood purity is as high as 60%, which even by today’s standards is considered one of the highest. He was originally an elite special forces soldier, joining the military at the age of 16 and carrying out numerous missions before his evolution. He volunteered to become a subject of the Dragon Blood experiment and became one of China’s best Dragon Blood Kins. Later, he met the only female Dragon Blood Kin in our country at that time, and they got married and had Shen Changze. The government closely monitored the entire process, but before the child turned one month old, they disappeared with the child. It wasn’t until five years later that their whereabouts were discovered,” Tang Tingzhi enlarged a photo of Shen Yao on the computer screen. “You all know what happened next.”

The crowd looked at the photo of Shen Yao on the computer screen, and apart from the age difference, the facial features and demeanor were almost identical. This person was indeed Shen Changze’s biological father.

Shen Changze was already overwhelmed by this sudden turn of events. He silently gazed at the photo of Shen Yao and clenched his fists tightly, his mind filled with a mixture of emotions.

They had been separated for fourteen years, but Shen Yao’s attitude today showed no trace of the joy one would expect from a long-lost reunion with his son. His demeanor sent shivers down the spine, leaving Shen Changze devoid of any excitement and instead filled with deep concern.

Shen Yao’s words were completely off-base, and they quickly reminded Shen Changze of a certain faction among the Dragon Blood Kins – the racists.

With the refinement of the National Weapon Project, the number of Dragon Blood Kins grew increasingly large. The cost of creating Dragon Blood Kin decreased, while the success rate rose. However, with the emergence of this particular faction, division, and exclusivity arose. While the majority of Dragon Blood Kin retained a sense of duty and mission as soldiers, remaining loyal to their country, there was a small fraction whose personalities changed drastically after evolution. They began to discriminate against and even resent humans, considering themselves a superior species. This subset of Dragon Blood Kins, displaying premonitions of antisocial behavior, exhibited violence and lacked a sense of morality. Their ultimate fate often involved being eliminated. Consequently, Dragon Blood Kins with racial sentiments began to learn to conceal and suppress their emotions. This posed a significant hidden danger within the National Weapon Project.

House was indeed such a Dragon Blood Kin. It’s just that his personality was even more contradictory. On one hand, he possesses a sense of superiority as a Dragon Blood Kin and looked down upon humans. On the other hand, he couldn’t escape his inherent nature as a soldier and remained loyal to his country. This internal conflict allowed him to maintain some level of self-control.

However, based on Shen Yao’s tone and behavior, Shen Changze deeply felt that Shen Yao was a zealous Dragon Blood supremacist, perhaps even the leader of those Dragon Blood Kins.

If that was the case, it wouldn’t be difficult to explain why Shen Yao would protect Tang Jingzhi and why he would say those words.

However, this conclusion left Shen Changze feeling deeply disturbed. He had wondered countless times what kind of people his biological parents were, but Shen Yao was definitely not the type he had longed for. At least, he wouldn’t view humans as inferior beings because he always believed he was still human himself. Moreover, he was madly in love with a human.

He raised his head and locked eyes with Tang Jingzhi, receiving a mutual understanding through their gaze. They knew that the same thoughts were running through each other’s minds.

Oriole and the others also had an inkling of what was happening.

Shan Ming felt extremely frustrated with their subtle glances that he couldn’t understand. “Is there anything else that we don’t know? We’re risking our lives for you right now, and we deserve to know everything!”

The rest of the Peregrine Falcons also voiced their protests one after another.

After a moment of contemplation, Tang Jingzhi voiced his speculations.

After he finished speaking, many people were left dumbfounded.

Lily shook her head in disbelief and said, “Are you saying they look down on humans? They consider themselves a superior species?”

“That’s right, it’s not hard to understand. Even among humans, don’t we categorize ourselves into different social classes? Equality was meant to pacify the lower classes. Humans are animals too, and one significant characteristic of animal nature is protecting one’s own kind and being exclusive. White people look down on black people, and the wealthy disdain the poor. Naturally, Dragon Blood Kins, who possess superior physical abilities and intelligence, would discriminate against humans.”

Hawk sneered and said, “So, what’s their purpose then? Don’t tell me they want to establish a society where Dragon Blood Kin enslave humans?”

“It’s hard to say for certain. Perhaps they simply want to seize more resources from humans, enjoy a superior life compared to humans, and have control over humans instead of being controlled by them. Understanding the mindset of the Dragon Blood Kins with a sense of racial superiority is a topic we have been focusing on recently. In any case, this faction is highly dangerous, and it could pose a significant threat to our plans and even national security. Any Dragon Blood Kins harboring racial hatred must be eliminated.”

Shen Changze spoke with pauses, “Are you suggesting that, he needs to be eliminated?”

Everyone knew exactly who he was referring to.

Tang Tingzhi looked at him and said, “That’s right.”

Shen Changze stood up from the ground and slowly walked towards the exit of the hotel.

Tang Jingzhi watched his retreating figure and sighed softly. He commanded, “Clear a large area of landmines, then take shifts to rest. We will return in four hours and reassess the plan.”

Shen Changze walked into the dense forest that covered the sides of the hot springs, finding a large tree that could be embraced by two people. He clenched his fist tightly and struck the trunk of the tree with force.

The sturdy trunk bore a deep dent from the impact, causing the tree to tremble as leaves rained down. Shan Ming walked through the shower of leaves and approached him, leaning against a nearby tree. He spoke softly, “Son, sit, let’s talk.”

Shen Changze abruptly turned his head, his eyes pitch-black and seemingly bottomless. “You’re not my father. That man is my father, but he’s supposed to be eliminated. How could he be that kind of person? What does he want to do? And my mother? Where is my mother?” Shen Changze asked a flurry of questions incoherently, his voice trembling more and more as he spoke.

Shan Ming walked over and gave him two slaps across the face. “I am your father. You addressed me as your father for so many years, so I am your father. Listen to me, stop living for others. If you want to stop him, then go and stop him. If you want to chase after him, then go and chase after him. Stop agonizing over it. How dare you say that I’m not your father? Did you forget about me as soon as you see your biological father? And as for where your mother is, how the hell would I know?”

Shen Changze paused for a moment, then he hugged Shan Ming tightly around the waist and said in a choked voice, “But I don’t want to be your son. You know what I want. Dad, I want you. If there’s anyone I want to live for, it’s only you.”

Shan Ming felt a surge of emotions within him. Upon hearing these words, he couldn’t remain indifferent, but at the same time, anger rose within him. He wanted to maintain the image of a towering father figure in Shen Changze’s eyes, rather than being reduced to an object of lust. It was infuriating. He couldn’t help but think that this kid was at that age where his hormones were running wild. Would sleeping with him once help cure his dumb fuck problem?

Before Shan Ming could think any further, Shen Changze had already pinned him down on the ground. He passionately kissed his lips and continuously called out, “Dad, Dad.” Perhaps due to a tremendous stimulation or perhaps from suppressing his desires for too long, he couldn’t restrain himself. His actions were more urgent and dominant than usual.

Shan Ming raised his hand and delivered another slap across his face. Then, he looked at Shen Changze coldly and said, “Shen Changze, whoever I sleep with is insignificant in my eyes. If you want to sleep with me, it’s no big deal. I’ll let you have me, this way I can spare myself from your continuous thoughts as you masturbate. Just the thought of it disgusts me. But you need to understand, I don’t belong to anyone. I’ll live my life the way I want, and don’t think that doing me once will change anything or have any impact on my life.”

Shen Changze narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice, “What do you mean.”

Shan Ming grabbed his hair and said fiercely, “What it means is that I’ll sleep with you, and after that, you better fucking stop fantasizing about me. Don’t you dare meddle in my affairs or bring up that stupid idea of taking me back to China again.”

Shen Changze’s pupils contracted intensely, and an indiscernible resentment surged in his chest. He spoke coldly, “What I want is to live with you forever, not to live a life like yours, whoring around for a lifetime!”

Shan Ming understood his sarcasm and felt a surge of anger. How dare he compare him to a whore! Literally asking for death! He clenched his fist and viciously aimed for Shen Changze’s eye socket.

Shen Changze grabbed his wrist and forcefully pinned him down on the ground. He leaned over, biting down on Shan Ming’s lips.
