Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 1002

Chapter 1002: Chapter 643 The Terror of the Old Man_2 Chapter 1002 -643 The Terror of the Old Man_2 “Grandfather, which old lady were you out dancing with this time?

Coming back so late, all these people are here for you.

It’s strange, not long ago a bunch of people driving luxury cars came looking for you, and now they’re here again.

You couldn’t be some hidden tycoon deliberately concealing your identity to temper my character, could you?”

The young woman Liu Liu looked at her grandfather with a face full of expectation, only to be disappointed by the old man’s complete lack of response.

After a moment, the old man gently waved his hand and said calmly,

“Liu Liu, go back to your room.

I have some matters to discuss with Mr.

Chu!”

The girl, in the bloom of youth, pouted slightly, but she didn’t dare to defy her grandfather.

...

Reluctantly, she still pursed her lips and headed to her room.

As the door of the room closed with a fan-like sound, the old man finally took a deep breath and said,

“Mr.

Chu, I’ve almost worn out my ears hearing that name lately.

Even the group of old men and ladies in the park talk about ‘Mr.

Chu’ all the time, always ‘Mr.

Chu this’ and ‘Mr.

Chu that.’ At first, I thought this so-called ‘Mr.

Chu’ was an old man like myself, but meeting you today, I see that Mr.

Chu is so young; truly a rare talent among men!”

The old man could have been either sincere or merely expressing his sentiments, but either way, he started by saying some flattering things about Chu Mo.

Chu Mo, who was not one to assume too much, simply smiled faintly.

He wasn’t bothered by the old man’s words and lightly said,

“I came to visit because I heard of the illustrious deeds of your younger days, thinking that in our Magic Capital there is a hermit like Mr.

Liu.

I couldn’t resist coming to pay my respects.”

At these words, the old man in front of him suddenly let out a cold snort, his expression turning somewhat indifferent as he said,

“If I’m not mistaken, Mr.

Chu must have heard about me from the Long family of Fragrant Harbor, right?

The Long family fancies themselves as Hua Country’s premier clan.

Some time ago, Long Zhentian himself came to ask me to come out of retirement, but I refused.

When he left, I asked him not to reveal my whereabouts, and yet he broke his promise!”

Hearing a hint of resentment in the old man’s voice, Chu Mo did not mind whether the old man had any misunderstanding with the Long family.

Still, after a moment’s hesitation, Chu Mo explained,

“Perhaps Mr.

Liu has misunderstood.

The person who told me about Mr.

Liu was not the patriarch, Long Zhentian, but Long Huan Yu, the eldest son of the Long family.

At the time, Long Zhentian was not present, it was just me and Long Huan Yu.

It was on a whim that he revealed Mr.

Liu’s information to me.

It’s possible that Long Huan Yu was unaware of the agreement between Mr.

Liu and Long Zhentian, which might explain why he let it slip.”

After hearing Chu Mo’s explanation, the old man’s originally icy demeanor softened a bit.

Two months ago, when the Long family found out about the old man, Long Zhentian himself personally attempted to recruit him to join the Long family’s forces.

However, the old man just wanted to live quietly with his granddaughter and decisively refused.

Before Long Zhentian left, the old man had requested that his whereabouts be kept secret for future peace of mind.

Long Zhentian agreed, and the old man put aside his concerns, not bothering to move since he trusted in the stature and credibility of the Long family.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Long Huan Yu who divulged the old man’s information to Chu Mo.

This was also why, upon seeing Chu Mo and his group, a hint of coldness flickered through the old man’s eyes initially.

After a moment of silence, the old man, taking gentle breaths, slowly began,

“Mr.

Chu, the strength you have with you should already be sufficient to ensure your safety: one peak level semi-Grandmaster, one early-stage Great Grandmaster, and one mid-rank Great Grandmaster.

Such a force is rare even in the entire Hua Country.

Whether you have one old man like me more or less should not make much of a difference.

I wonder what brings Mr.

Chu here in person!”

Chu Mo also sat up straight, looking at the old man, and after a slow breath, spoke with a serious face,

“Not to hide it from you, Mr.

Liu, I came here actually for the Great Restore Pill that is said to be in your possession.

Of course, I understand the preciousness of the Great Restore Pill, a Healing Holy Medicine, especially valuable to martial artists.

I would not take Mr.

Liu’s Great Restore Pill for nothing.

Whatever Mr.

Liu requests, I, Chu Mo, will do my utmost to fulfill it.”

Chu Mo’s words fell, and as his gaze intently fixed on the elder before him, he discovered that the old man’s eyes remained placid like still water, without even the slightest ripple.

Just as Chu Mo hesitated about whether he should increase the stakes, a glint of light flashed in the murky depths of the old man’s eyes.

His withered fingers gently tapped the table before he spoke, unhurriedly saying, “As I thought, in my humble opinion, aside from the Great Restoration Pill, there truly is nothing that could attract Mr.

Chu here.

As for this old bag of bones, I believe Mr.

Chu would not be interested.”

After a brief pause, the elder, looking directly at Chu Mo, slowly continued, “Mr.

Chu, do you know how old this old man is?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo shook his head slightly, and without waiting for Chu Mo to ask, the elder voluntarily revealed, “This old man is already eighty-six years old this year, and due to not knowing how to take care of my body during my early years of martial arts practice, I’ve always had a chronic illness.

I’ve been suppressing it internally, so it hasn’t erupted.

However, it is a fact that my health is deteriorating with age.

I, Liu someone, have lived a life of integrity and once enjoyed unlimited glory.

At my peak, even the heads of the eight great clans would give me three points of respect, but after certain incidents, I came to view everything with detachment.

That’s why I abandoned my vast fortune and retired to the mountains.

If there is only one thing that could concern me, it is Liu Liu, that girl.

My days are numbered, and the Great Restoration Pill is the only gift I can leave for Liu Liu.

Without my company, I can only wish for her to have the ability to protect herself.

The Great Restoration Pill is the gift I intend to give her once she reaches the C-grade Martial Artist level.

Liu Liu, that naive girl, originally had high aptitude.

However, she has little interest in the path of martial arts.

I had hoped she would inherit my legacy, but seeing her resistance, I changed my mind.

I, Liu someone, may have reached the peak of my martial skills, but at the end of the day, I’m still just a decrepit old man.

If so, why should I make her walk the same path?

As long as she’s happy, that’s better than anything else.

Liu Liu is currently the lowest-level D-grade Martial Artist, and in a few years, she should reach C-grade, then after taking the Great Restoration Pill, the powerful efficacy of the pill will advance her to B-grade.

To top experts, a B-grade Martial Artist may be nothing significant, but for ordinary people, it’s enough power to ensure one’s safety.

All I wish is for that girl to live a peaceful and unremarkable life!”

The elder’s face was filled with sighs and emotions, but at this moment, Chu Mo slightly furrowed his brow, thinking to himself that the elder’s plan was indeed a great waste of the Great Restoration Pill.

Any Great Restoration Pill is priceless, and the scoundrel should have reserved it for breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm.

Now, the elder intends to use it for his granddaughter to break through the C-grade Martial Artist level, which was truly an extraordinary waste.

Of course, the Great Restoration Pill belonged to someone else, and regardless of how the old man intended to use it, it was his freedom, and Chu Mo had no right to interfere.

Taking a gentle breath, Chu Mo’s gaze shifted towards the pink door in front of him, from where the sound of a girl’s crisp laughter faintly emerged.

With a slightly focused expression, Chu Mo suddenly spoke out, “Elder Liu, all your previous arrangements have been made according to your own will, without asking Miss Liu Liu for her opinion.

Elder Liu wishes for Miss Liu Liu to live a tranquil life, but have you asked for Liu Liu’s own wishes?

Perhaps, compared to an ordinary life, Miss Liu may wish for a more splendid and passionate existence?”

At Chu Mo’s words, the elder before him narrowed his eyes ever so slightly.
