“What did you say?” The man asked loudly.

The person on the other end of the phone gulped, closed his eyes and repeated the words.

“Bring him back!”

The man hung up the phone after shouting.

He turned around and saw that the woman on the sofa was already crying. At this moment, he was very frustrated.

Half an hour later, there was a charred corpse lying on the ground in front of him. Behind the corpse stood a bunch of bodyguards dressed in black.

Although this corpse was charred, his face was only slightly damaged. One could tell that this was their son.

At this moment, the woman was hugging the charred corpse and crying.

The man’s face was gloomy as he said coldly to the bodyguards, “Go and find the killer!”

This was his only son, he had to find out who killed him!

He had to return it a hundred times over!

The bodyguards who heard the order went out without a word and began to investigate the matter.

At the same time, He Qi finished reading the skill book and was about to try using it.

He was shocked by the knock on the door.

He walked over and pulled the door open. It was Xiang Wanying.

“It’s time to eat.” she said.

He Qi nodded and followed Xiang Wanying to the dining table.

Just as He Qi was eating quietly, he heard Xiang Wanying’s voice.

“I heard that the son of the Sheng family is dead. Is that true?”

Xiang Wanying looked at He Yi and asked.

Hearing this, He Qi’s hand paused.

He didn’t know if the son of the Sheng family she mentioned was the Sheng Heyi.

“It’s true. They’ve already started investigating.” He Yi said.

“I don’t know who dared to kill his son.” Xiang Wanying said.

At this moment, He Qi, who had been eating silently, asked, “What’s his son’s name?”

Xiang Wanying turned her head to look at him. She thought for a moment and said, “I think his name is Sheng Heyi. Why? Do you know him?”

He Qi nodded and said, “I’m not very familiar with him. I’m full.”

After saying that, He Qi stood up and walked back to his room.

He didn’t tell them that he had killed Sheng Heyi himself, for fear of bringing trouble to them.

It seemed that he had to make the most of his time to upgrade his ability.

He wanted to upgrade his ability to level-3 mid-tier before they found out about him.

With that thought in mind, he took out a few level-2 high-tier crystal cores and began to absorb them.

After absorbing the crystal cores, he thought to himself, ‘check the level of my ability.’

[ Host: He Qi ]

[ Attributes: wind, fire, earth ]

[ Level: wind, level-1 high-tier; fire, level 1, high-tier; earth, level-1 mid-tier ]

Seeing that each of his attributes had increased by a level, He Qi’s lips curled up.

Tomorrow, he was going to test out the power of the skills he had learned.

He took his clothes and walked into the bathroom. After washing up, he lay on the bed.

In the living room.

Xiang Wanying and He Yi were sitting on the sofa when He Yi’s phone rang.

He took the phone, answered the call, and put it to his ear.

“Did you take it out?” He Yi asked.

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before saying, “I did take it out, but it’s gone again. I went back to look for it again, but I couldn’t find it.”

When He Yi heard this, his expression did not change. “Then we’ll look again.”

The person on the other end of the line replied, “Yes!”

Then, He Yi hung up the phone.

Xiang Wanying, who was beside him, asked at this moment, “How is it? Has he found it?”

He Yi shook his head and said, “He found it, but it’s gone again.”

Xiang Wanying sighed and said, “Then we can only start all over again.”

He Yi patted her on the back and said, “We’ll find it.”

Xiang Wanying replied sullenly, “Okay.”

The next morning, He Qi went out of his room and did not see his parents.

He muttered, “Why are they gone to work so early?”

As he spoke, he walked to the dining table, finished his meal, put on his backpack, and went out.

After walking for twenty minutes, he stood in front of the Red Star Alliance’s door.

The Red Star Alliance was the largest alliance clubhouse in the entire city.

Inside, you could issue missions and let the hunting group complete the missions for you. You had to pay the corresponding fees for the hunting group.

The fees had to be no less than 100,000 star dollars.

You could also form the hunting group and accept the missions from the employer.

Along with the difficulty of the missions, the price would also increase. Moreover, the alliance would not charge any handling fees!

Of course, the Red Star Alliance would not only have these two businesses.

There was also a very large venue called the practice area. The practice area would also be divided into several small areas.

One could enter the venue according to the level of their abilities.

This venue was just like the wild area that He Qi had been to.

Today, he came to the Red Star Alliance to test the power of his ability.

As soon as he walked into the Red Star Alliance, someone came to welcome him.

The person who welcomed him asked, “Customer, are you going to issue a mission? Please follow me.”

As he spoke, the person led He Qi to the mission area.

“Wait, I’m not going to the mission area. I’m going to the practice area.”

He Qi stopped and said to the person who led the way.

Hearing this, the person leading the way paused for a moment. He glanced at He Qi and then led him to the practice area.

This person looked like he was here to issue a mission, which was why he was mistaken.

Two minutes later, the person led He Qi to the practice area and left.

He Qi looked at the door, which showed his level.

He walked to the first level door, pushed the door open and walked in.

The scene here was like the real wild area.

But this wasn’t a wild area after all. There were many places that were inferior to a wild area.

He Qi walked in. At this time, a level one high-level ultra beast suddenly rushed out.

After it saw He Qi, it attacked He Qi.
