Chapter 117: Invaders

When Luan and Ingrid arrived at the company's headquarters, it was Thursday, the 18th of March. The voice actors of the game trailer had already gone through the evaluation and started the dubbing process.

When the time got closer to noon, it couldn't be avoided. News of the cannibal family was announced. The reports said that human remains were found within the three and their cause of death had not yet been confirmed, but many on the internet believed that a vigilante had discovered and killed them since the law of Brazil was a dredge, since even someone like that would be released after 40 years - that is if they weren't released early for good behavior.

Luan also made images from Vincent Cont's private jet appear. Of course, he modified them a little, without anyone from the current time knowing that they had been modified. The location of the explosion appeared to come from inside the aircraft, which made them assume that there was a bomb from the beginning inside the private jet.

The news about the explosion was in all the newspapers, along with news concerning the cannibal family.

The public was also notified of the existence of a will. The three witnesses had already spoken out and had confirmed their testimony with a court on the 19th of a Friday at 07:30 in the morning.

Something else that was also worth mentioning: the Aide Construction Company was taken over by their partner. Since the owner, Aide, became indebted and sold all his shares to his partner, and now from owner he became an employee of his former partner.

When that happened, Luan stopped interfering with the construction company. It wasn't like he wanted to harm Aide's partner too; he just wanted to punish the family that had messed with his family. Now that he had finished that, there was no reason to continue.

"Luan, how did you get the partner to buy Aide's shares since it was very likely that he didn't want to have any more losses?" Sitting across from him, while eating his lunch, Ingrid asked this question.

Luan replied nonchalantly, "That was easy. I said that if he became the owner, apart from Aide's shares, things would get better."

"It makes sense." Ingrid smiled. "This is still a light punishment for them. At least they can still grow as people, and they would not dare to provoke others so easily. Especially now that they are falling, it is very likely that people that that shameless woman provoked are now laughing at her misfortune."

"Mm," Luan nodded and said, "You can't help but be happy. That woman was a fool. She teased someone in a store like Valentine. It was already possible to see that that woman and daughter had no limits."

"Ah yes, there was also her daughter who had the same opinions as her... In the end, the actions of a child are the reflections of what she learns from the parents. The daughter, seeing what her mother did, came to believe that what she was doing was right," Ingrid sighed.

"It couldn't be avoided. The first persons we imitate and learn from are our parents. Of course, this is not always true, as there are many factors such as relatives who can influence a child's upbringing, something they saw on television, or a neighbor, etc. Everything that becomes interesting for a child ends up being imitated," Luan said.

"Changing the subject," Ingrid asked, "Luan, will the game trailer be announced on the 20th?"

"Yes, that seems to be a good date for it." Luan smiled. "Vincent Cont will help a lot with the announcement of the game."

"Vincent Cont? How could he help... Ah, are you talking about the 50% that goes to charity?!" Ingrid almost forgot about it.

"Yeah." Luan nodded with a thin smile. "Imagine, the second largest shareholder leaves 50% of his assets to children with cancer. Not only will it help many children, but it will also draw attention to Dimas Corporation. Kill two birds with one stone."

In the afternoon, Luan received a call from his mother. Maira told him that there were four rats and that he had to return home soon.

Luan and Ingrid finished the job as soon as possible and returned home at 6:30 pm.

When they arrived, Maira said, "Follow me."

Upstairs, in the room where they always trained, there were 3 three men and 1 woman with their backs to each other, tied by rope.

"While Cristina and I were on the beach having fun, these people tried to break into the house with only mother inside," Catharina said.

"Yes, they were weak, so I managed to knock them out easily, so I tied them with ropes and covered their mouths with electrical tape." Maira spoke quite naturally.

"Have you tried to interrogate them?" Luan asked.

"No, because I thought you could get more accurate information since I said before that you can read people's minds if you want," Maira replied.

"That makes sense," Luan said, "Okay, I'm going to look at their memories a little. It will hurt them some, but I don't need to feel sorry for someone who tried to invade our home."

The four people were shaking with fear, and thinking that this family was crazy from their meaningless conversation. However, a tall, muscular man with blond hair was the first one for Luan to invade his mind. The moment Luan did this, the man tried to scream a little from the headache, since Luan was not 'kind' the moment he invaded the man's mind.

In a short time, Luan let go of the head of the man, who had passed out due to pain and also from having his recent memories changed, and Luan did the same with the other three people. After doing all this, Luan said, "Mother, call the police. These people were used by someone to try to steal the diamonds that I recently purchased."

"Oh, but did you manage to find out who hired them, Luan?" Maira asked.

"I don't know the person. It's quite likely they're an employee of the actual person behind it all. Well, it's not a big deal, it must be just a greedy person who thought he could get easy money by stealing the diamonds we bought," Luan said, but he still remained cautious.

"Well, whatever it is, now we know that someone is aiming for the diamonds that were purchased." Catharina asked: "I'm going to call the police, but how do we explain that they were captured?"

"A trap," Luan said, "I'm going to electrocute them and pretend that they were caught because of the security system."

As soon as Luan finished speaking, sparks flashed from his fingers. It was then that he put his hand on each of these people and electrocuted them until overloading their minds and making them pass out for the next two hours.

"We will take them downstairs," Luan said. He was not affected in the least by that. He believed that if someone found out that they bought a lot of diamonds, someone could have ended up craving them. However, he did not need to fear normal people. Even with guns, they were unable to harm his family.

Luan knew of a way to find out who was behind this, but the chances were slim, so he would try later.

After the police arrived, Maira went through the procedure of telling them what had happened. Luan, on the other hand, stayed in his room, creating new pills to help grow his, his mother's, and the three girls' cultivation.

The main ingredient that Luan would use was a green lotus. Green Lotus was a flower with a lot of Qi from heaven and earth. Using this as the main ingredient, he would be able to create the pill: , a pill that could speed up Qi cultivation. This would be something very useful for the girls, mainly because he thought they were ready to start learning the first part of the Qi cultivation technique.
