Chu Xiu's eyes turned cold: "Dad, what's with your injuries?"

When he spoke, Father Chu's expression froze for a moment, seemingly not expecting that Chu Xiu could notice, and still feigned innocence: "What injuries? There's nothing."

Chu Xiu could only point to himself helplessly: "Dad, your son is an Awakened now, how can you hide this from me?"

Only then did Father Chu change his tune: "It's nothing serious, just slipped on the road. You know I'm a person who relies on a wheelchair to go out, a little bump is normal."

Chu Xiu naturally did not believe these excuses, and under his intense questioning, Father Chu reluctantly revealed the truth.

What Chu Xiu did not expect was that it was related to him.

It turns out that the day after he returned from the Abyss, Father Chu and Mother Chu inquired about his talent and profession from the school.

After learning it was just a D-level Support Profession, the two were intent on having Chu Xiu do some crafty work in the safe environment of Blue Star. They didn't seek great wealth, just wanted him to be able to support the family. Anything was better than venturing into the Abyss.

In their eyes, for Chu Xiu to spend his life safely was more important than anything.

But they quickly discovered that although Chu Xiu agreed verbally, he turned around and ran back into the Abyss.

This made the two elders blame themselves secretly.

They felt as if it was their fault for burdening Chu Xiu, not providing him with a wealthy living environment and letting him bear the family's responsibility so young.

Perhaps because of this, even with poor talent, he frequently took risks.

Father Chu felt particularly guilty; as the head of the family, after losing his leg, he completely became a burden to Chu Xiu and his mother.

He could not accept this, so he secretly thought to retrieve the compensation he was due for his leg loss.

Although a settlement had been signed at that time, the black-hearted boss had used underhanded means. Especially now that his son had become an Awakened, Father Chu felt he could reclaim some of it.

Even if Chu Xiu was still intent on entering the Abyss, he could at least buy him some Equipment and Artifacts.

As expected, if the black-hearted boss had planned to pay, he would have done so long ago, not dragging it out until now. Not only did he not pay, but instead had Father Chu beaten up.

This made Chu Xiu furious yet somewhat amused. He didn't expect his hidden talent to lead to his parents misunderstanding.

"Kid, don't bite off more than you can chew looking for trouble," Father Chu said nervously, "I've handled this already, you don't need to take care of it!"

"Don't worry, Dad." Chu Xiu shook his head helplessly, then he slapped a bank card onto the dining table and handed it over: "Dad, check how much money is in this card, the password is 040408."

Looking at the rather gaudily decorated bank card, Father Chu paused slightly, without understanding, but still checked using his phone, and quickly his eyes widened in shock.

"Five, five million! Where did you get so much money!"

His voice trembled slightly, and Mother Chu also opened her mouth in surprise.

"Dad, Mom, you underestimate your son," Chu Xiu chuckled lightly, "My talent may not be high in Grade, but it's very useful. As long as I work in safe places doing support, I can earn big money!"

"Take this five million, and don't ever do such foolish things again."

"This..."

Father and Mother Chu had yet to recover from the shock. Only after Chu Xiu repeatedly assured that all this money was honestly earned did they exchange a glance of delight.

"Good, good! My son has made it!" Father Chu excitedly patted Chu Xiu on the shoulder, full of pride.

But then he warned, "Son, now that you can earn big money, don't go looking for trouble! If we have to take a loss, we take a loss. A steady life is the Righteous Dao."

Chu Xiu continuously promised.

With this five million, the prior gloominess vanished, and the family was all smiles.

But after dinner, when he returned to his bedroom, Chu Xiu's expression suddenly turned cold.

Previously, he was so busy leveling up that he had forgotten about this matter.

Luckily, Father Chu only suffered minor injuries without serious harm, or he would feel guilty to death.

Without hesitation, Chu Xiu locked the door behind him and then flipped out of the window.

He sent out a Fierce Ghost to steal his father's phone, found the contact information of the black-hearted boss Huang Jun, and quickly confirmed his location from the chat records.

Chu Xiu donned a Mask and black robe and, a quarter-hour later, appeared in front of a lavishly decorated KTV club.

He used the Qi Concealing Technique, and his figure flickered as he silently infiltrated the club.

Along the way, he discreetly disabled all the surveillance, and without much effort, he arrived at the Seventh Layer where Huang Jun was.

This guy was in the innermost room, Sky Room No. 1.

Just as Chu Xiu was about to act, he suddenly let out a soft "hmm" as he discovered something, rarely showing a puzzled expression, then hid himself again.

Soon, to his astonished eyes, a tall figure slowly ascended the stairs.

It was Zhang Qingshan!

Upon reaching the seventh floor, Zhang Qingshan headed directly for Huang Jun's room, then kicked the door open and went inside.

This scene caused Chu Xiu's expression to turn strange.

He remembered his father saying that he had already handled this matter.

So the way to resolve it was to call Qingshan for help?!
