Chameleon: My True Face 127 The Real Power

Wuxing only smiled and asked politely, not bothered by Scarlet's brother suspicious gaze, "Shall we talk in private?" Scarlet quickly stood up from the bed and agreed with a smile, "Yes, naturally." The appearance of Chameleon confirmed everything that Wuxing was talking about which made her really happy. 

"Sis, who is this man…?" Scarlet's brother immediately asked, not that sure about Wuxing's intentions. He was already against any handsome men that were approaching her sister and the Chameleon in front of him was especially dangerous in this aspect. 

"Don't worry, he is working with my boss. We will just talk about work." Scarlet assured him as she patted her brother's head and Wuxing confirmed it, easing the boy's thoughts, "Yes, I have some news from him." 

"I will be back in a moment." Calling out to him, Scarlet finally left with Wuxing and the first thing she asked after closing the doors was about his well-being, "Uhmm… Is he fine…?"

Wuxing knew she was talking about him but nodded, acting like real Wuxing's partner, "Yes, he is fine. I got sent here to make sure that you will attend the selection. We want you in our future team as we think you have potential." 

Hearing that she would be in Wuxing's future team she couldn't help but blush and mutter, "I'm honoured…" She already began acting in that direction so she informed, "I already decided to go and I even took care of my brother's surgery so that he can be discharged earlier." 

Wuxing smiled, checking with Devil Face if there is anyone listening to them and said, "I know, I already had a conversation with that doctor. You shouldn't have the problems with it anymore. Please refrain from using your body as a way to win someone's favours. Boss wouldn't be happy with that."

"I'm sorry… I just thought—" As he sounded as if he was scolding her, Scarlet apologised but Wuxing cut her off while assuring her, "Don't worry, I'm not scolding you. We will teach you everything you need to know later on. Give me your contact information and we will meet in a week. We can both travel for the selection together. What do you think?" 

This was just the contact and the Chameleon in front of her knew everything so she did not hesitate to give him her phone number, "Yes, that would be a great help. Thank you, Mr Chameleon." 

Having her information, Wuxing didn't stay for much longer, letting her spend the time with her brother, knowing she wouldn't meet him often after joining Seven Stars, "I will be leaving then. Say hi to your brother from me. He seems to care a lot about you. Send the last week with him." 

He didn't wait for her response and simply left after saying what he had to. When he left the hospital though, he received a question from Devil Face, 'Why do you attach such importance to her? She is just a normal person. It will be years before she can reach your level.' 

Wuxing had a quick response to that and replied, 'It's because she is pure and can be easily taught without any disturbance from her experiences. She has great talent and we can train her into one of the best. She just needs correct guidance.' 

Devil Face still didn't understand this and argued, 'But she still isn't an ability user like you or Anna and Katherine. She will find it hard to adapt after half a year if she stays with you guys. How do you expect her to survive an event that is only meant for Ability Users? She will just be a burden.'

Thinking for a moment, Wuxing distanced himself from the hospital and sat down in the park, asking, 'Can you finally tell me what event it will be? I can't plan anything without knowing what are you planning.' He had many ideas but without all the details he was very limited. 

Too bad that Devil Face rejected him once again as he said, 'Unfortunately I cannot. This is an order from above. To give everyone the same chances, we cannot disclose anything to our Ability Users. I can only tell you that it will be dangerous and thousands of ability users will join in it. Normal humans will not be part of it.' 

Finding something in Devil Face's explanation, Wuxing realised something, questioning, 'Hmm… Does that mean that Dongmei won't be able to follow me? Can't she also become an Ability User then? Just like me? What about Scarlet? Aren't there any Spirits who are searching for Ability Users?' 

'After some thoughts, I already figured out what was happening with Dongmei's ability. I think it's her mother that belongs to the older generation of Ability Users but she already started to transfer her ability onto Dongmei. It's a lengthy process as a spirit can't leave the Ability User as long as he is alive but it is possible.' Devil Face informed proudly, finding his detective skills impeccable. 

This made Wuxing nod in satisfaction, happy that he wouldn't need to leave Dongmei and thought to himself, 'So Dongmei will also become an Ability User… Perfect. For Scarlet, we can just find another Spirit who will be willing to connect with her.' 

This made Devil Face alarmed as he quickly warned Wuxing, revealing some secrets, 'Whoa, hold on. Let me tell you something. All Spirits already connected with their own Ability User. Unless you kill them, the Spirit won't be freed and I doubt they would be happy with their user being killed.' 

'I know. I guess we will have to slowly figure that out later. As long as there is a possibility, there is a way.' Wuxing replied as he finally stood up and wandered with his thoughts to Dongmei, imagining how she was doing, 'I wonder how is Dongmei right now… I guess she already arrived at her home. It has been some time already.'

...….

At the same time, in the Guan Family's mansion, Dongmei and her parents already arrived home. As Dongmei was still sleeping, Guan Dong carried her into her old room as his wife ordered, "Place her on the bed. She only needs to rest now." 

He acted very gently, placing her down as to not wake her up before blaming herself with a deep breath, "Sigh… It's all my fault…"

"It's useless to cry over spilt milk. Just focus on being the best father you can be from now on. She should forgive you after some time, probably…" Guan Mei assured her husband as she caressed Dongmei's cheek, before adding without looking at Guan Dong, "Leave us alone for a few days. I don't think she will want to see you now. I will call you when she gets better." 

"Sigh, alright." He breathed deeply once again as he nodded before kissing his wife on the head while saying, "I will be in the laboratory for a few days then. Also…"

Guan Dong gulped before continuing, "Father and mother called… They want to meet with Dongmei and her future husband. I told him that Dongmei doesn't feel well right now and invited them for her birthday instead…" Guan Dong couldn't help but shiver when he recalled his father's strict face. 

Guan Mei also frowned when she heard that, very well knowing who those two people were but glancing at Dongmei, she calmed down and replied, "Don't worry. She still has a lot of time. Right now is not the time to force her into anything. We will talk about this after she recovers." 

"Alright then, I'm leaving." Getting this out of his chest, Guan Dong gave one last look at his two ladies and finally left. When one heard about Guan Family, they would naturally feel respect but it was because of their enormous businesses and not because of their origin. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Only a few people knew the real power that stood behind Guan Family. Guan Dong wasn't the head of the family. It was his father and mother who ruled the world with an iron fist and he, as their only son, was responsible for all businesses but the real power wasn't in his hands. 

When he recalled the order he received from his father a few years ago, he knew there would be many problems coming from that, knowing Dongmei's character. Getting a husband by twenty-five years old? First great-grandchild a year later? 

Guan Dong couldn't help but shake his head to chase those thoughts away. He was only hoping that his parents will be understanding this time, putting into account that they always liked to spoil their granddaughter. 

Back in the room, Guan Mei didn't wake Dongmei up and instead laid down behind her, embracing her daughter into her arms before finally calling out in her mind, 'You can start the final transformation.' 

'Are you sure you want to put your daughter through this? The upcoming event will be really dangerous.' Layla asked to confirm once again, knowing the procedure she would perform would be final. 

Guan Mei didn't take long before agreeing, 'Yes. Although it's dangerous, the benefits are boundless. She has Wuxing who will stay by her side. Let's do it.' Layla didn't say anything after that and simply began the procedure. 

Just as she started, Guan Mei felt as if her soul was being ripped apart, causing immense pain but she persisted, knowing there was no other way for the two to be together, other than this.
