I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 761 - 517: Address Exposed

The second was to take the opportunity to accumulate wealth and completely open up the domestic magic market. After all, in Dragon Country, magic was far less popular than celebrity concerts. Under normal circumstances, not many people would attend a grand magic show hosted by Peng Changye.

But now things were different. Xia Liang's current popularity in Dragon Country had reached an unprecedented high, making magic the focus of the entire nation. At this moment, Peng Changye, under the guise of defeating him, had timed this unique magic competition perfectly. It would not only open up the market for magic within Dragon Country but also, by defeating Xia Liang, allow Peng Changye to return to his own peak. It was a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

But can he really defeat me in the Water Tank Escape?

A faint smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Xia Liang's mouth.

It wasn't that he looked down on Peng Changye and the people behind him. The magic he had obtained from the System was basically the pinnacle of the art form, infinitely close to true magic. With his current skills, he didn't even need Spiritual Power to completely outclass them.

As for Peng Changye's challenge at the stadium, Xia Liang would naturally accept. This time, he was going to grind Peng Changye into the dirt, ensuring he could never rise again.

However, letting Peng Changye and his backers organize this grand magic show and reap the massive benefits didn't sit well with Xia Liang. Whether he utterly crushed Peng Changye or Peng Changye won, the ultimate beneficiaries would be the people behind his rival. This irked him, and he knew he had to find a way to become the one who profited from this event.

Peng Changye had already started building the hype, and Xia Liang definitely wasn't going to back down. Should I make a move of my own? he wondered, stroking his chin.

Just then, the nearby Liu Tongtong suddenly spoke to her stream.

"Hey everyone, thank you for your congratulations! I just received a partnership invitation from 'B Station'. They're offering me an A-tier contract, which is something I never could have dreamed of. I couldn't have done it without your support. But of course, most of the credit goes to having streamed God Xia's magic."

Xia Liang, who had been deep in thought, raised an eyebrow at her words. A content smile spread across his face; Liu Tongtong's announcement had clearly sparked an idea. He stopped worrying about the problem.

At the same time, the door to the ICU opened, and Ma Ying, her parents, and Zhan Le's parents all walked out.

Xia Liang turned to look and saw that their faces were stained with tears and their eyes were red. They had obviously just been crying.

Just then, Ma Ying walked up to Xia Liang and gave him a deep bow.

"God Xia, thank you for saving me and my brother. We can never repay your kindness in this lifetime. We hope that in our next life, we can serve you to repay this debt. In this life, the best we can do is pray for your well-being every day."

Xia Liang stood up and offered a faint smile. "You don't need to be so reverent. As long as you never think of taking your own lives again and maintain a basic respect for life, then everything I did today was worth it."

Ma Ying nodded vigorously. "Yes, my brother and I will never again think so lightly of suicide. We've already decided. Once my brother recovers, we're going to enter monastic life in Qingyun City. I'll go to Qingcheng Hermitage, and he'll go to White Horse Temple. We both have college degrees, so we should be accepted."

Xia Liang, who hadn't used his abilities to foresee this, was surprised. He had not anticipated this outcome at all.

What surprised him even more, however, was hearing Ma Ying mention "my brother" twice. He was certain that the "brother" she was referring to was Zhan Le, the man in the ICU.

The first time, he hadn't thought much of it. But when Ma Ying repeated the term a second time, a guess surfaced in his mind. He couldn't help but smile wryly. Could it really be this melodramatic?

"Your relationship with Zhan Le?" Xia Liang asked after a moment of thought.

"Yes, it's just as you're thinking," Ma Ying said with a slight smile. "We are half-siblings, sharing the same father. We have accepted this new identity, but we can't bear to face this reality. So, our only choice is to enter monastic life. It might be the best outcome for the situation. Both my parents and Zhan Le's parents are very supportive of our decision."

"Well," Xia Liang sighed. "I wish you both a speedy recovery and a good life ahead. We'll meet again if fate allows."

He refused the pleas of both sets of parents to stay, as well as the money they offered, and then turned and left.

He had come here to learn the outcome of the situation, not to demand repayment for his favor. He had vaguely suspected something like this might be the case but dismissed it as too clichéd to dwell on. He had assumed the parents' opposition was due to a conflict of values, a disparity in social status, or perhaps a failed negotiation over the bride-price.

Originally, Xia Liang had thought that after this incident, both sets of parents would finally agree to let the young couple be together.

Now, however, it seemed things had taken a turn no one had wanted. As Xia Liang walked out of the hospital building, the electronic voice of the System suddenly echoed in his mind. The mission was complete. Stepping outside, Xia Liang leaned against the railing by the emergency entrance and shook his head.
