Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Li Tian stared at Li Hao expressionlessly; clearly, he was furious.

"You've made a scene with the police over a woman! You've completely humiliated me!"

Li Hao subconsciously looked away, not daring to meet his gaze.

Li Tian is a third-tier Awakener, and even a slight hint of his aura that he unintentionally reveals is extremely oppressive.

"When your brother was your age, he could already solo a Tier 1 Calamity. And you? Besides causing trouble for me, what else can you do?"

It's him again...

Every time he got into trouble, Li Tian would bring up his cousin, who had also awakened the [Trapped] ability.

Li Hao gritted his teeth in frustration, feeling inexplicably annoyed.

Even though he successfully awakened last month, and even became "Steel Bones" which is not far from "Trapped", Li Tian is still not satisfied with him.

In Li Tian's eyes, his cousin was always the best, and he always used him to put him down.

"What's wrong with me?"

Li Hao retorted with dissatisfaction:

"Didn't I successfully awaken too? [Steelbow] may not be as good as your [Trapped], but it's not weak either, right?"

"Not weak?"

Li Tian scoffed, "That depends on the person."

"After your brother awakened, he became very strict with himself, actively increasing his training volume and even participating in the city defense team's apprenticeship, all to train himself. As for you..."

"You idle away your days, and now you've caused this mess over a woman. With your temperament, even the greatest abilities of yours would be a waste!"

"I...I..."

Li Hao opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that after being suppressed and denied countless times, he had already given up on himself.

"snort."

Seeing that Li Hao was speechless, Li Tian snorted coldly and continued:

"Look at yourself! What kind of person are you! Think about it carefully and do what you're supposed to do."

"...Dad, I understand. It won't happen again."

Li Hao lowered his head and stopped arguing.

That being said, a deeper malice was brewing in his heart.

That old man always puts him down and messes with his mentality, making him feel like he can never hold his head up at home, so he simply lets it go in one ear and out the other.

Outside, he is a supreme awakened being, able to do whatever he wants.

As for trying? What a joke! That's all he is. Trying harder won't make a difference. He might as well just give up.

He recalled Jiang Mian's delicate face and her quiet, well-behaved demeanor.

That appearance perfectly filled the void in his heart. Someone had to bear the weight of his suppressed emotions, and it just so happened that Jiang Mian was chosen.

Seeing his "honest" appearance, Li Tian's anger gradually subsided.

He glanced at the message displayed on his phone and frowned.

"The bureau has an escort mission, and I have to go there myself. You go home by yourself."

"Also, there might be some big moves coming up from above soon, so behave yourself and don't cause any more trouble. You hear me!"

After saying that, Li Tian kicked Li Hao out of the car and drove straight towards the Construction Bureau.

Li Hao watched the car drive away and curled his lip in disdain.

Big move?

What does it have to do with him?

The more his father tried to suppress him, the more he wanted to rebel.

Li Hao's mind is now filled with Jiang Mian, and he just wants to "repay" her properly.

"Just wait..."

He refused to believe that she could escape this time.

As long as Jiang Mian complies obediently, given her personality, she definitely won't tell anyone.

But before that, he needs to relax his tense nerves.

He was seething with anger after spending so many days in detention.

Thinking of this, Li Hao took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, call the guys, see you at the usual spot."

Half an hour later, in a private room of a high-end club in the western district.

Li Hao sank into the leather sofa, puffing on cigarettes, while several sexy hostesses carefully served him.

"Brother Hao, what's today...?"

A green-haired man obsequiously lit him a new cigarette.

"Don't even mention it. I just came out of there and my old man gave me a good scolding, constantly talking about how amazing my cousin is."

Li Hao glanced at the woman trying to get closer to him; her heavy makeup and pungent perfume made him feel a bit disgusted.

He frowned in disgust and waved her away.

These ordinary, vulgar women were simply not worthy of his attention.

Seeing that Li Hao's expression was a bit off, Green-haired A-Jie rolled his eyes and lowered his voice, saying:

"Brother Hao, are you still thinking about that... Jiang Mian you mentioned last time?"

Another red-haired henchman also became interested and chimed in:

"Brother Hao, that photo we saw last time... Holy crap, it's amazing! Even that lousy ID photo looks so good. I've never seen anything like it in my life."

"If you ask me, even Shen Qiuyu, the so-called school beauty of our No. 5 Middle School, might not be able to outshine that girl in terms of looks alone."

"Shen Qiuyu?"

He had certainly heard of that name; he was a prominent figure at school.

Not only was she exceptionally beautiful, but more importantly, she had successfully awakened.

The specifics of the ability weren't mentioned, but the sequence ranking seems to be quite high, described as an advanced sequence.

That's a top 50 ranking. Even if someone was just an ordinary person before, being able to awaken this ability is like taking off!

Not to mention... her family already had some connections.

She was a true prodigy, arrogant and haughty, and completely different from a good-for-nothing like him.

"yes!"

Red Hair continued to flatter, "Brother Hao, you have a sharp eye. Even though she's not an Awakened, someone this good-looking and clean is extremely rare..."

As the alcohol took effect and he was flattered by his underlings, Li Hao temporarily forgot his father's reprimands, and his obsession with Jiang Mian grew stronger.

I may not be as good as my brother, and I may not be able to beat Old Deng, but surely I can handle you?

……

"Phew~ I didn't break a sweat, but I'm still exhausted."

At the junction of the north and west sides of the city, in an old residential building, Jiang Mian put down his luggage, straightened up, and stretched.

Although the location is remote, it is more spacious than the previous house, the infrastructure is newer, and it is quieter with fewer messy people.

She looked inside the house; it must have been uninhabited for some time, as it was covered in dust, with the crevices being the worst affected areas.

Jiang Mian had a sudden inspiration, walked to the center of the room, and stretched out his right hand.

A faint vortex formed in my palm, and then a gentle breeze slowly spread, enveloping the entire room.

It gently lifts up the dust floating in the room and on the furniture, and gathers it into the vortex.

This power of the [Gale] seemed to be innate to Jiang Mian. Upon waking, he could control it with ease, down to this level.

If others saw this, they probably wouldn't believe it was a derivative ability of the "apocalypse".

Jiang Mian gently released the vortex in his hand, and it formed a small mound on the ground, while the rest of the room was spotless.

"Complete victory."

She patted non-existent dust off her hands, put her hands on her hips, and said that she seemed quite satisfied with the cleaning results.
