Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 211 Self-Directed and Self-Acted? (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

"What are you doing?"

Dai Yueheng heard Dai Huabin's movements, but had no idea what the other party was doing.

"Watch the meteor shower. You can see a meteor shower over Xingluo City tonight. We're a bit far away, but we can still see some from here."

"I've sent all the servants in the manor to Xingluo City, hoping that this meteor shower will contain some rare metals of high value."

Dai Huabin's tone was calm, having already accepted that his mother would be furious and give him a beating when she returned, so there was no fluctuation in his tone.

Meteorites occasionally contain iron, and iron occasionally contains extremely precious extraterrestrial metals. When they do appear, they weigh tens or hundreds of kilograms, or even thousands of kilograms. Even for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, this is a fortune that cannot be ignored.

That's why Dai Huabin sent his servants to Xingluo City to collect meteorite fragments scattered around, hoping that they might contain rare and valuable metals. Logically, this kind of task should have been done by the secret guards, but there weren't any left.

"You still have the mood to watch a meteor shower? Why don't those meteors just kill you, you idiot?"

Dai Yueheng cursed him, exasperated.

"Bullshit."

Dai Huabin understood that he was bound to be punished by his mother when she returned, and might even be sent to a distant place to live under an assumed name for a while. Therefore, he was too lazy to continue pretending in front of his older brother.

In his eyes, Dai Yueheng was only a few years older than him, and in a few years, he would not only catch up with him, but also surpass his achievements.

"If I were really killed by a meteorite, then I would deserve it. But good people don't live long in this world, so you don't need to worry about me so much."

After Dai Huabin finished speaking, he simply tossed the communication soul tool aside, out of sight, out of mind.

"Smash me to death? Hmph, even if a meteorite really hits me, I'll just swat it away. Hmph."

Just as Dai Huabin was muttering dismissively to himself, a shooting star streaked across the night sky like a silver arrow.

"Another one! This one's big; who knows, there might be something good inside."

But then Dai Huabin noticed that the meteorite was not going in the right direction. The meteorite had drawn a silvery trail from north to south, but after flying over Xingluo City, it seemed that it could no longer resist gravity. The arc of its fall became more and more exaggerated, and the speed became faster and faster.

Although the meteor thrown by Electrox was not actually a meteor that streaked across Douluo Star and was captured by gravity, with the speed of a thousand streams traveling ten thousand meters in an instant, plus the pull of gravity, the speed of this meteor had already exceeded the speed of an ordinary god-level powerhouse.

"Holy crap!!!"

Dai Huabin lay on the roof and let out a scream of extreme terror. The meteor seemed to have locked onto him and was hurtling towards him with pinpoint accuracy. The moment the meteor appeared in Dai Huabin's field of vision, it meant that the meteorite was less than 10,000 meters away from the ground.

After traveling and falling over an extremely long distance, the meteorite's speed at this point is far beyond what human beings can react to.

Dai Huabin's eyes widened in fear and disbelief. He couldn't even hear the shriek of the meteor, which was traveling dozens of times faster than sound!

His body began to tremble and spasm uncontrollably, as if he were being held tightly by an invisible force. He wanted to escape, but he knew he could never escape this shooting star.

His heart pounded like thunder, each beat a reminder of the approaching danger. His breathing became rapid and shallow, as if each inhale was drawing in fear and each exhale was expelling life. His throat felt blocked, unable to produce a sound, only low whimpers.

Too fast! There's no way to escape! There's no way to escape!

This was the last thought that flashed through Dai Huabin's mind. The next instant, the meteorite that had been gliding across the sky for a long time finally reached its destination. The meteorite, which was violently rubbing against the air, produced an extremely bright light at that moment, almost illuminating the entire night sky above the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

"Thump——————"

A deafening sound, almost deafening, erupted at that moment, instantly deafening everyone nearby. Then, the entire White Tiger Duke's mansion seemed to tremble. Dai Huabin's body was instantly reduced to dust by the impact.

With a deafening roar, the entire White Tiger Duke's mansion was shaken by the immense force. Roof tiles were flung into the air, wooden beams snapped under the impact, and the entire roof collapsed instantly.

The surrounding houses were also affected; walls cracked, roofs collapsed, and the scene was chaotic, with dust and rubble flying in the air, creating a spectacular yet disorderly spectacle.

In just a moment, the once-prosperous mansion is now a scene of devastation and ruins.

"Hua Bin, Hua Bin, what's wrong!"

Dai Yueheng only heard Dai Huabin's terrified screams, like the demonic cries of a victim in hell, followed by a sudden roar.

"Hua Bin! What happened?!"

Dai Yueheng shouted loudly, his expression extremely tense, but the communication had been cut off, and no sound could be transmitted back from the communication soul tool in his hand.

Dai Yueheng didn't know what had happened, but she felt extremely uneasy.

It's impossible that my words have come true, right?

Dai Yueheng took a deep breath. Although he knew that his younger brother was very dissatisfied with him, Dai Yueheng was one of the few people in the White Tiger Duke's lineage who truly had feelings for his brother. Perhaps it was because Dai Huabin was too young and posed no threat to his succession, or perhaps it was for other reasons.

In any case, he did have considerable affection for his younger brother.

What exactly happened?

Dai Yueheng was filled with anxiety and confusion. Far away at Shrek Academy, he couldn't figure out the situation. He wanted to rush back, but he was also worried that this was a play orchestrated by his mother and Dai Huabin to successfully transfer Dai Huabin. Otherwise, why would his mother coincidentally go to Xingluo for a banquet today?

I understand now. It was all my mother's arrangement, because she was worried that we might be overheard. My mother must have already taken action and moved Dai Huabin away, taking advantage of today's meteor shower and the moment I was on the phone.

A look of understanding appeared in Dai Yueheng's eyes, but his face was still filled with stiff panic. Who knew if he was still being watched by the academy?

Now that his younger brother had been moved, he felt relieved. He figured his mother would call tomorrow, feigning panic, to tell him of his brother's death. This was all a necessary pretense to ensure Hua Bin's survival, and he absolutely couldn't let it slip.

Now, all he needs to do is pretend to know nothing and absolutely must not attempt to silence them.

Thinking of this, Dai Yueheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
