It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.

Even after they reached the bottom of the stairs, she was still clinging to Li Xianyu's clothes, muttering, "I want to eat strawberries," like a girl pouting at her boyfriend.

After being glanced at by several passersby, Li Xianyu rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and glared at her.

Grandma stared blankly, repeatedly saying she wanted to eat strawberries.

Are you a repeating machine?

Li Xianyu sighed, "Alright, alright, but it can't exceed one jin."

Grandma immediately beamed with joy: "My dear grandson is so good."

He realized that when she had any needs, she would first use her status as the great-grandmother to intimidate people, and if that didn't work, she would immediately change her attitude, like she is now.

Li Xianyu had always thought that his great-grandmother had wasted her 150 years of life, but now, upon closer reflection, he realized that many of her childish words and actions, which were out of character for her, actually contained the wisdom of a century-old woman.

For example, when they first met, the great-grandmother easily dispelled his resistance and vigilance with her gentle attitude and childlike tantrums, making him have the absurd idea that "I can easily control her," and then he quickly relaxed his vigilance.

Despite her strong learning ability, she appeared innocent and naive when going out with him, which made his grandson feel the need to "protect this delicate flower of his great-grandmother".

For example, even though she was the one who spent all of her father's inheritance, they had a fight, and in the end, I was the one who ran to apologize.

After buying strawberries, I ran into the gatekeeper of the same community. Usually, he should be in his guard post at this time, not coming out of the residential building.

He probably went to see his girlfriend again.

Exhausted from eating, Li Xianyu greeted him with envy and resentment: "Gatekeeper."

The doorman nodded: "Have you thought it through?"

Li Xianyu's heart skipped a beat: "What are the salary and benefits like if I join Baoze Group?"

The doorman said, "It's not bad."

Li Xianyu gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I agree."

Located in the most bustling area of ​​Lujiazui, Baoze Group consists of two opposing buildings that resemble twins. While they don't stand out much in the high-rise-filled Lujiazui, they occupy a vast area.

Li Xianyu remembered that these two buildings were not called Baoze Group a few years ago. The group rose rapidly in just a few years and developed into a behemoth that was no less than a state-owned enterprise.

To outsiders, it was just a powerful conglomerate. Now Li Xianyu knew it was the headquarters of the Bloodline Enforcers, with intricate connections to the government.

And today, he will become one of them.

It was lunchtime, so the doorman made a phone call and then led Li Xianyu straight to the revolving restaurant on the top floor.

The doorman swiped his employee card to access the hotel and pushed open the two large brown-lacquered solid wood doors. The scene behind the doors made Li Xianyu wonder if he had walked into some ultra-luxury hotel.

A scarlet carpet stretched from the entrance to the end of the restaurant, flanked by neatly arranged black crystal dining tables or round tables, and dazzling crystal chandeliers. The layout and decor were designed to the standards of a six-star hotel.

The revolving restaurant wasn't crowded, making it seem a bit deserted. The doorman's gaze swept across the restaurant, as did his great-grandmother's. She inhaled deeply, swallowed hard, and tugged at Li Xianyu's sleeve, saying, "It smells so good! I'm hungry."

Li Xianyu: "Didn't we just eat? If you're hungry, eat strawberries."

This kind of restaurant is clearly beyond the reach of a poor guy like him.

Great-grandmother: "I was just hungry, and strawberries don't keep me full for long."

At this moment, the doorman and a man in the corner exchanged glances and said, "Come with me."

He was a burly man with a buzz cut, a square face, and an estimated height of over two meters. Sitting there, he looked like a bear sitting at a human dining table... or more accurately, a bear in a suit who had blended into the crowd and was smiling at you.

The doorman greeted Li Xianyu and his great-grandmother and introduced them, saying, "This is our Minister of Law Enforcement, codenamed Thunder King!"

As he spoke, the Thunder and Lightning Dharma King stood up, his tall and imposing body bowing at a ninety-degree angle, and with a humble posture, he grasped his great-grandmother's small hands: "Greetings, Senior Li. It's been more than twenty years since we last met, but you still retain your charm."

That's a gesture used when a subordinate shakes hands with a superior.

Grandma reluctantly let him hold her little hand, but her attention was completely captivated by the foie gras, caviar, and steak on the table.

The Thunder King withdrew his hand with satisfaction, straightened his back, and reluctantly extended his right hand to Li Xianyu: "Hello."

A large, fan-like hand suddenly appeared before his eyes...

Li Xianyu humbly clasped both hands, not minding the stark contrast in the other party's attitude, and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Minister Yang."

The Thunder King was taken aback: "I don't believe Yang."

Li Xianyu: "..."

"You know my great-grandmother?" Li Xianyu awkwardly changed the subject. He spoke with some restraint. The Thunder King gave him a great sense of pressure. Although the bear was wearing a suit and disguised as a human, its exaggerated muscle lines made the suit bulge, as if it might burst open on the spot at any moment.

"I know her, but Senior Li probably doesn't know me," said Thunder King.

Back when the Li family's War Soul and Li Wuxiang were stirring up trouble in the Bloodline Realm, he was just a newbie who had just graduated from his master's sect. He could only stand on the sidelines and shout "666" a few times, and then sigh, "A real man should be like this."

At most, like most young people at the time, they might have dreamed of a beautiful and heroic female warrior.

Now he is middle-aged, while the woman who was once like a fairy remains unchanged, which is quite poignant.

After finishing his reflections, the Thunder King looked at Li Xianyu and said, "Let's get down to business. Welcome to Baoze Group. We've been waiting for you for many years. You now have two choices: one, become a law enforcer; two, become an office worker."

Li Xianyu immediately replied, "I choose the second option, thank you."

The Thunder King paused for a moment, then said, "No, the 'clerical staff' part was just something I mentioned casually. The company hopes you'll join the law enforcement department. After all, it would be a waste to leave someone like Senior Li to languish."

Li Xianyu said, "Minister Yang... I am just an ordinary person. A clerical job is fine and enough for me. Fighting and killing are not suitable for me. Not only do I not have any special abilities, but my body is also very weak. I'm sorry, I have disgraced the Bloodline."

The doorman interjected, "Then start with clerical work. Be an intern first, learn more about the world of bloodlines, and one day when you awaken, you can consider whether to switch to law enforcement."

Li Xianyu asked impatiently, "Then how do I awaken?"

The gatekeeper pondered for a moment and said, "The circumstances of each bloodline's awakening are different. There are no specific conditions or methods. For example, in novels, the protagonist's parents are often killed, and in a fit of rage, the protagonist awakens, shocking everyone. This situation does occur, but it is not a necessary condition for awakening. In fact, even now, we have not figured out the correct way for bloodlines to awaken their genetic abilities."

Li Xianyu: "Then how did you awaken, gatekeeper?"

The doorman said awkwardly, "He had a heart attack, and then he woke up. It was a brush with death."

Li Xianyu couldn't help but look at his great-grandmother. So how did his biological father awaken?

His great-grandmother, as if on the same wavelength, said in a clear voice, "Your father, that silly boy, was twenty-two years old and still hadn't awakened. In a fit of anger, I shoved him out the window, and he awakened."

Thunder King: "..."

The doorman: "..."

Li Xianyu: "...Didn't you say my dad was the most successful one?"

Great-grandmother: "His talent for cultivating Qi is just as bad as yours, but the abilities of bloodline descendants depend on the proportion of bloodline, not the order of awakening. Your father's bloodline is quite pure."

Li Xianyu swallowed hard. "Great-great-grandmother... I'll be twenty-two next year."

Back when houses were low, there was still a chance of survival if someone slipped out the window, at worst ending up paralyzed. Now, if his great-grandmother were to slip him out the window, Li Xianyu wouldn't even have a chance to be saved.

The doorman and the Thunder and Lightning King looked at him with pity.
