《Monster Tamer In The Apocalypse》


 Chapter 1. Am I really back?

    Jiangnan University, Jiangnan, China 5th September 2022.


    ¡°Hey, wake up.¡±


    ¡°Chen Qiang, you wake up now! The teacher comes here.¡±


    A male student tries to wake up his classmate in a hurry, but bad luck seems to come to them. The teacher quickly found that someone dared to sleep in his first class! Moreover, that student is one from the rich side. He could imagine that the student would be like what and instantly his blood like pumped up.


    The teacher''s name is Ma Hong. He is one of the strictest teachers at Jiangnan University. Furthermore, he can be considered on top. He then came and slapped the table right in front of the student who was still asleep.


    ¡°Uh bro, it¡¯s not like I don¡¯t want to help you¡± Zi Ling looks to the student who is asleep and said utterly with pity all over his face.


    *Bam!!!* The loud sound of the table makes the student who is still asleep as he pleases startled and wakes up panicky.


    Chen Qiang was truly shocked as he stood straight, his hand touching his head, he felt whirling in his head as he had slept all day long. He unconsciously touches all his body as if checking something, he still has a shocking expression on his face. He looked around just to see the teacher Ma glare at him with cold eyes.


    ¡®Why... Why I''m here now? Didn''t I die in the end because of a later-phase rank 8 mutated beasts, Teacher Ma?! Why is he still alive?'' Is here in the class?


    ''Is it a dream? No no no, that surely is not a dream because it felt so real, but are those memories real? Am I really back?


    "Chen Qiang, you''re out now!" Just when Chen Qiang sank to his thought teacher Ma shouted to him that made him sober.


    "Sorry teacher Ma" After he calms down, he looked at him and said lightly. Then he walked out of the class. In those memories or his past life, teacher Ma is very close to him, he knows teacher Ma is very disliked to the student who slept in his class. Back then, he was a diligent student and one of his favorites, but now they seem fated to be just passers-by.


    Chen Qiang went to the roof of one building in this college to take a breath and sort his messy thoughts. He sees the bustling scene that rarely has in his past life, The atmosphere was full of bliss very different from the gloomy on those days. He can just see this on a bigger base and yet, even that cannot be compared to this. Then his thoughts on the apocalypse that happened back then.


    On that day at 08.00 am 25th, December 2025 is sudden of all transformations of the creature in the earth. No one knows why this change happened, and some people said this is because of virus-like, the opening of sources, a punishment of God, an occurrence of some oracle, etc. But the certainty is that day all living things on earth see the change, from a change of peace to chaos, a change of the food chain and all the creatures itself. That day is called evolution day later on.


    All the creatures start to evolve, like some plants that seem like never stop growing, the animal becomes more powerful and savage, even human no exception. On that day the human that seems cannot resist the abrupt change of evolution just like losing their souls as their savage instincts take control for surviving. They become zombies, man-eaters that horrors humankind.


    That day on all the highways occurred many accidents because they lost control, not to mention in the dense environment like crowded streets and so on. But, as for the other area which was less crowded fortunately there were not too many victims at the start because the zombies are still very weak, people who can resist the change just need to walk fast to avoid their pursuit. They just need to be careful if they are near them.


    The humans that survive from evolution day gradually become powerful too, just like the other. However, humans are just human after all, even when they become powerful they are still impossible to defeat animals. Moreover, it¡¯s not the animal again, but the mutated beast.


    Chen Qiang remembers that he and his sisters just hid in their home. But sadly the government only responded by giving some crap suggestions that day and because of too much chaos outside they¡¯re just waiting for the continuation reaction of the government and hoping for their help at first.This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.


    Fortunately, their house is pretty big and that day is near the new year, so almost all the servants do not work, even including their guards, because this area is rather safe and has a lot of security.


    Most importantly, the area around their house does not have many inhabitants. Also, just old housekeeper Zhang Kai, four maidservants, and two guards that live with them that day, they were really lucky because none of them turned into the zombie.


    But even when they have a lot of food stocks and try to save, eventually they will still run out of it.


    They stayed in their house for two weeks waiting for what seemed to never come helper. The situation starts to get more depressed when the electricity gets run off and as they gradually lose hope, they finally heard there was a survivor gathering on the radio.


    The place was protected by the military not far from outside the city that could give shelter to the survivors. Then they try moving to there because not many foods left here and for better safety.


    Chen Qiang and his sisters followed by two guards named Chen Lei and Deng Gu while only the old housekeeper just stays at the house with the four maidservants and food stock that can ensure them for 1 month or more.


    Zhang Kai really wants to help his young master go to the base, but with his old body, he thinks that just makes a burden for them.


    As for the reason the maidservants are not willing to go is that previously, they sometimes see a lot of people not too far away from the house got bitten by the zombies. That really terrified them.


    The scene is too scary to watch. The anguished voices of the bitten can make anyone shiver to their bones, so they prefer just to stay in the house.


    Fortunately, the house has a wide garden that planted vegetables and tree fruits, maybe there are some that still have not died.


    They did not use the car because a lot of the streets were blocked. The sound of the car can make a lot of zombies set the target to them and if they meet a blocked street that would just be their end.


    Chen Qiang and his sisters do not bring much food for mobility. They then took the iron rods with the sharp tip the guards have made, as he and his sisters had taught by the guards how to use them.


    A lot of people go there, but almost all the roads are very dangerous, many zombies wandering in there.


    A scene in which he never forgets plays again. Initially, their journey can be considered smooth as they keep avoiding the zombies. But when they gradually had to pass the crowded area, some zombies started to block their way.


    The pressure to the guards keeps increasing as they continue their journey and eventually they are surrounded by a large group of zombies.


    They desperately wanted to break through the siege, but unfortunately, Chen Lei, one of the guards, could not handle getting swarmed by a lot of zombies at once and pushed to the ground. While Deng Gu made a choice to sacrifice himself by shouting like a madman to get the attention of all the zombies and go to the other way. He created a chance for them to run.


    The two guards that he only knows about their names and doesn¡¯t even care about them nor their families eventually do so much for him in a difficult situation.


    Chen Qiang and his sisters ran with everything they had. But not long since they start to run, they get blocked by four zombies and when he just wants to pass them, somehow his little sister gets dragged down by one slightly different zombie that seems to suddenly appear from nowhere.


    He just turns around and wants to help her, but in front of him, the four zombies suddenly entangled him. Without any choice, he then stabs and smashes the zombies that entangled him.


    He just successfully gets rid them when the zombies that drag his little sisters bite her upper arm. His little sister screams in pain and wants to push that zombie, but not avail because her strength doesn¡¯t make an effect at all.


    Gradually his little sister gets encircled by more and more zombies.


    Tears and mucus flowing at her beautiful face, her pitiful expression can make all people heartbroken.


    The zombie successfully tore a piece of her meat. He madly dashes to his sister and successfully gets rid of the three zombies that siege her sister when more and more zombies come to surround them.


    His little sister noticed it too. She knows that when she gets bitten, then even if she still lives she will turn like them too. She gets up all her courage with a slight unwillingness and shouts to her brother with her small eye full of tears.


    "Bi..Big brother, you must leave now!¡±


    ¡°A..And please protect elder sister!, even if I still live ta..that would just torture me in the end. I will still turn like them ahh!!!..."


    "Xi''er!!!...." Chen Qing with tears down from her eyes like a stream shouted. She just wants to help her little sister, but Chen Qiang with bloodshot eyes that are full of tears, turns around and grabs her.


    "Br..Brother, what are you doing? We must save our little sister!!". Chen Qing hysterically calls Chen Qiang, but he just kept grabbing her and started moving, running from their pursuit.


    "Shut up! And just follow me" with a harsh voice he shouted to his sister


    "Brother...." Chen Qing was shocked when she heard he shouted to her, he never once talked harshly to her.


    With pained hearts and great difficulty, she hung down her head and followed him, accompanied by the anguished voice of her sisters that gradually weakening.


    They continue to walk there heartbreakingly. Fortunately, outside of the city, there were just a few zombies, so they could easily avoid them.


    When they arrived, they could see a lot of militaries to guard the camp and many people lined up to want to enter the base. The people get checked one by one and some people go into the room to get more detailed checks before they enter the base. The people that have scratches or get bitten by zombies will get dealt with by the military.

 Chapter 2. Endless Suffering

    After 2 months after Chen Qiang and his sister, Chen Qing arrived at the camp, a lot of things happened.


    Initially, this place is a strategic place for the military to march into the Jiangnan city while gathering the survivors and sending them to the base that the government has just started to build.


    Unfortunately, the military can only complete the skirmish plan and cannot go through to the inner city because the number of zombies they face keeps increasing with the sound of arms created. Not to mention the lack of manpower and limited arms they have.


    After all, in the military itself has a lot of difficulties. Therefore, they can only send limited soldiers, so after 3 days he and his sister Chen Qing stay in temporary camp, they with all the survivors that still hasn¡¯t transferred, going to the base with the withdrawal of the military.


    After Chen Qiang and his sister Chen Qing stayed at the base, they could live slightly more comfortable than the others because of Uncle Zhan Hai, a friend of their deceased father, Chen Kong, who owned a lot of the estate in Jiangnan.


    Their father is one of the largest holding shares of the Duwei Mining Group Company and has a high position. The Duwei Group is the twentieth largest company in China. Principally involved in gold mining and smelting, coal, it also deals in copper, lead, zinc, silver, and even iron products in much smaller quantities.


    Chen Qiang was the heir of his father. He should have already taken all the inheritance of his father when he was an adult, but he told the lawyer that he wanted to temper his youth first and would not meddle with the business or decision making on the Duwei group, and take back all the right after he got his Bachelor''s degree. Because he''s afraid the burden is too much for him and eventually damages his father''s inheritance. But when he''s just in his fourth year who knows that the evolution day destroyed everything.


    Chen Qiang and his sister almost saw every change in the base. Like from the depleted of the food, makes a lot of people suffer until they die. At the start, the base gives the survivors food that almost makes them fill, but now they only give them bowls of thin porridge that just sustain their lives. Because there are a lot of people in the base, so they must try to save for the future.


    The ordinary survivors must work in the base such as building the wall that has a lot of danger to get food stamps in order to live slightly better or they can make a team to search resources like food and drugs and can be exchanged with the base for what they need such as weapons.


    The military is always cleaning the zombies in the surrounding area, and sometimes they confront the mutated beasts. The meat of the mutated beast is really precious, when the soldiers continue to eat the meat of the mutated beast that they hunt, such as mutated rat or cat, one of the teams accidentally becomes awakened. Not just does his body seem to get enhanced, his ability is that he can really run faster than an athlete. Moreover, the meat of mutated beasts can make them recover their stamina really fast.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    To be awakened, Actually not just because of eating mutated beast¡¯s meat, there is not too rare to see awakened by the sudden change, the military has a lot awakened that often hunts mutated beasts.


    The mutated beast is also not just precious for the ordinary people, the awakened too needed meat of mutated beasts to quickly recover their stamina when they have used their ability.


    The awakened is a term for the human that opened their potential, they are faster growing stronger than the ordinary human and they would have one or two abilities.


    Chen Qiang and his sister see, day after day many people die in this era for various reasons, such as hunger, fighting, injustice, the people that go out never back again, and so on. Even miserably a lot of women start selling their bodies for food.


    Although they can be considered live slightly more comfortable than the other, they are not that much different. They just eat cooked rice with some meat and rarely eat vegetables. The difference is that they live in a secure and comfortable place. They do not need to care for sanitation because of the good sewerage system and occasionally some people cleaning the area around. Not like the people in the slum that are full of many, not good odors.


    Day after day the dominion of the higher up in the base keeps rising, but injustice is still everywhere.


    Although Uncle Zhan Hai is rich, he is still too far away from his father. The money paper or estate does not have anything useful now, even if the money paper still has worth, almost all the people would refuse if someone wants to buy something with that, and the resource in the base cannot be traded using paper money. Now, almost all of his gold has run out. Fortunately, Chen Qiang now goes out to find the resources, and that lightens his burden.


    Chen Qiang occasionally goes out to fight the zombies and search resources too, he knows in this era the power and strength is everything.


    But unexpectedly he felt the zombies started to get more and more powerful. From the sluggish-like until they could walk fast, their power is also getting bigger.


    In the past, he could handle multiples of them if he was prepared. Now, face against just one zombie and if he is not cautious enough and just makes any mistakes, he is sure he will be turned into a zombie or die.


    Chen Qiang now very often goes out to polish his skills, and when he meets one weak mutated beast, he will hunt it for his food. He can feel that when he ate the mutated beast, his power slightly enhanced and with his polished skill, the effect is very obvious.


    Although the mutated beast is very powerful, as for the chicken, mouse, cat, he still can handle it if just one or two as he cared enough. If he is not careful enough just one cat jumps at his neck and claws it, then it will be his end.


    One day when he just goes back from his hunt with his team, he cannot find Chen Qing everywhere, he asks Uncle Zhan Hai but he still doesn¡¯t see Chen Qing come back.


    Chen Qiang from that day always tries to find her, he searches to place her occasionally go, but still doesn''t have a slight clue. He was really frustrated, his little sister Chen Xi died by zombies because he was too weak. He always felt remorse afterward and felt a little better after he swore to protect Chen Qing, but now she has also disappeared.

 Chapter 3. Endless Suffering, Part 2

    Chen Qiang keeps trying to find his sisters nearly make him go crazy, almost every night he cannot sleep well because of the nightmare. Until one day his friend told him in the night, that he saw her in one of the brothels with men.


    The brothels are one of the upper-class runs. They have a lot of cases where people give them lending mainly to buy food, a lot of them that cannot pay their debt get forced to work there to pay their debt.


    He was so shocked when he heard that, he instantly runs frantically to there. When he sees the place, he almost intrudes to search for his sister, but with great difficulty, he holds down his emotions and calms his mind.


    After all, this place has a big background, so with the calm mind, he slowly walks in there and entered the place like a customer.


    The place is like a bar, dimly lit and accompanied by the music beat. He was then greeted by a hostess who was wearing the clothes that revealed a lot of parts of her body. He quickly finished the formality and got a room.


    In the room, he sees a woman sitting on top of the bed wearing only sexy lingerie.


    As his patients started to run out, he swiftly approached the woman, making her startled and afraid, yet soon she seemed to just accept her fate. But her imagination doesn¡¯t happen at all as she just saw a man who swiftly approached her just holding a bunch of food stamps.


    The man seems to know her bewilderment and just straight asks her, but it only makes her more puzzled.


    Chen Qiang asks the whereabouts of his sister urgently, but the woman doesn¡¯t know her at all, then he slowly describes his sister''s appearance as the woman started to match with someone she looks similar to. Then after she confirms it, she said where she was. He then gives the food stamps to the woman and gives some excuse to get out for a while.


    Chen Qiang slowly went to the room the woman said and carefully slightly opened the door, then he took a peek only to see a woman with three men. He swiftly takes out the knives he hides, afterward slips in and locks the door.


    One of the men was really shocked when he saw someone dared intrude into their VIV room, but then calmly see with an evil grin who he so dares. After all, not everyone can get into the VIV room, let alone intrude into it, not even the manager here, they can easily lose their lives. So they did not even bother to lock the door.


    But his smile solidified when he sees a fast flying knife toward him, successfully penetrating his neck. Chen Qiang doesn¡¯t give them more chances to react as he just keeps throwing the second and third knives at them, while the first and second knives he aimed at their neck, the third knife only pierced one of the man''s back.


    He dashes toward the man who gets pierced in the back who seems panic-stricken with blood flowing from his mouth, and he punched him very hard, throwing him 3 meters far. He then broke all his limbs and tear his clothes with the knife and tied his mouth to silence him. Although this room seems soundproof, he is a cautious person. Like a say out there that ¡®better safe than sorry.¡¯


    Afterward, Chen Qiang was shocked and rage instantly got all over him when he saw her sister full of bruises on some part of her body with almost an expressionless face.


    Her beautiful hair now is looking so dirty and she has a lot of white fluid on her body, she wears a collar dog in her neck. Furthermore, there are sex toys still sticky deep into her lower lips and rear.


    He abruptly approached his sister. Her expressionless face is now full of tears while gazing at him. He unhesitantly hugs her in his embrace as softly as he can, like he was touched very valuable porcelain that has cracks.


    He cannot hold his cries while embracing Chen Qing with unceasingly apologize.


    "Brother..." After some times Chen Qing weakly called his name made him stop apologizing and look at her.


    "Brother... This has been nearly 1 month since the day I''m gone, why are you so late, even before I''m gone, you rarely accompany me.... Now I know little Xi''er feels back then. When she said you must leave, in her heart, she must still expect you to try to save her with all you have, even when she can just have slightly more time, that time is really precious to her."


    "Brother.... I''m... Really happy to see you again, but I slightly hate you too, if you''re not late or if you can often accompany me... Maybe this will not happen, this fu**ing world and fate, I...I cannot bear to live in this world anymore." just she said these words, with all her left strength she grabs his knife near him and stabbed her chest...


    Chen Qiang just heard her sister''s words with more and more remorse, when he saw her sister suddenly move to grab his knife and stabbed her chest, catching him unguarded.


    "Noooooo!!!! Sister! Sister, why did you do this? I will accompany you okay. I will forever be by your side. Please, please sister. " he kept saying those words and checked the knife that penetrated her chest. Alas, the knife penetrates her heart and makes him so helpless, he can only stare at her. Then he sees her little sister very hard trying to smile and said in her pale lips without sound with her eyes closed.


    Even if he does not hear her words back then, he still can see her lips move slightly to say ¡®stay alive.¡¯ He didn¡¯t know if his sister had cursed him or encouraged him.A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    He cries for a long time until his throat barely makes a sound. He then approached the men who went limp on the ground.


    He asks him when at his wit''s end because of the torture by him, he now knows why her sister is here and becomes their plaything. Out of anger, he hacks him into many pieces while still alive.


    Originally her sister was abducted by the son of a base regulator that previously was mayor of Jiangnan. The son, Liu Meng previously before the apocalypse, had liked her sister, but coldly rejected by her and he could not do anything about it, even if his father was the mayor and she had no parents.


    Now blinded by the power his dad has, he does whatever he wants without even being afraid of the consequences. Then when he sees her on the base, he orders his subordinate, an awakened to spy and abducts her when she is out that day.


    Afterward, his subordinate successfully captured her.


    Liu Meng makes her be his slave or more precisely, makes his sister be his sex slave, a common thing for him now as long as he wants. Doing all sorts of things to her sister. From violating and ravages her every day, then starts torturing her, trying a lot means that makes her despair. Moreover, the brother that is her only hope seems to never come.


    Eventually, Liu Meng started feeling bored and hard to get excited again when he''s doing this sort of thing to her again. As he has made both of her lower orifices very loose, even her breasts have been shapeless.


    Then he gives her to one of his subordinates, and now even his subordinate also give her to his underlings again. Chen Qing has long despaired that she wants to commit suicide but does not have the chance, until this day, she can rest in peace now.


    Chen Qiang really cannot imagine how his sister gets through this hell, he has an impulse that wants to commit suicide to accompany his sister forever. But he wants to make all that makes her sister suffered this, to get the feeling of all the suffering in this world.


    He wants revenge now, but he is still weak. He just gets awakened and he has no means against the guns or gets surrounded by the awakened.


    He now very much hates his weakness, his fate, himself, and this world. He then stealthily brings her sister''s corpse to get out of this base stealthily and find a quits location, then digging to bury her corpse under a tree.


    "Sister... I''m sorry, your brother is very useless, I easily let our little sister die, even she doesn¡¯t have a burial, and again, I also let you experience a lot of suffering, I''m really trash!" His start to blame himself as his grief keeps increasing while looking at his sister''s last home. In the end, he punches as hard as he can on the earth, makes craters beside his sister''s burial.


    "Sister... I''m sorry I cannot follow you now, I have things to handle first, " he feels his heart gradually gets colder in each second and his expression becomes resolute.


    He then roams over with no destination and madly tries to seek power and alleviate his pain. After one year of struggling in this world, when he feels he can wreak havoc on a base with his own power and even have a meaning against the powerful artillery, he traveled back to Jiangnan base with full of vigor.


    He successfully assassinated and tortured all the people that made his dear deceased sister, Chen Qing live like in hell, Give them the most painful torture he has learned in the last year.


    The feeling of pleasure back then makes him shiver to the bones like a madman. He almost would have a violent tendency permanently.


    But after he achieved all of this, the feeling left was like he lost his soul, only cold, full of emptiness and loneliness. The warms he can get, only by remembering the happy memories of him with his sisters and parents. Even the potent wine and woman''s body couldn¡¯t make him get the true bliss.


    Looking in the daze to the burial of his sister, his heart and mind gradually felt so calm and warm. He started to get addicted to this feeling, nothing in this world can make him care again, spend all the time he can on beside his sister''s burial.


    But he slowly gets into a dilemma. He doesn¡¯t have a reason again to continue his life, but his sisters'' last words seem to keep ringing in his mind, making him hesitate to end his life.


    Eventually, when he sees his sister''s burial on his side, he finds it¡¯s really hard to end his life, so he still continues his life to see and challenge this world.


    For 10 years, he has been moving from base to base, surviving villages and fortresses. Seeing a new era, madly kept fighting with more powerful zombies and mutated beasts as well the awakened, defending the base, waging a war with another base, and so on.


    He was always spending his day with caution, even holding the weapon in his sleep, waking from the slightest disturbance.


    One day when he heard a base get destroyed by a very strong mutated beast. He traveled there to challenge the mutated beast. When he arrived, he just saw the broken wall of the base, the place was quiet and not different from the broken base that he has seen because of various reasons, from bugs like mosquitoes that can make base chaos, riot, the horde of zombies, powerful mutated beasts, etc.


    He suddenly feels like he regrets all this struggle that seems nothing avail, just to make him more and more suffering. If he can make a resolve to end his life together with his sister back then maybe he can slightly reduce this suffering.


    His gaze gets blurred when he remembers his sisters, when suddenly he sees a very huge monster. Its head is like a savage lion, with a body full of silvery metallic luster feathers and a pair of wings that looks so sharp flew toward him.


    He could feel the monster aura, he never met this kind of aura back then, it''s so terrifying that even when it''s still far away, he presumes that the monster is in later-Phase rank 8 or more mutated beast.


    The highest mutant beast he has met is a monster just getting into the initial-phase 8. although he is in the middle of the 8 stages and higher than the monster. When he is against it, almost every move from it makes him near his death.


    For someone that has survived in this world for around 10 years is not a joke at all. Instantly all the dilemma he had disappeared, and only focused on the enemy that came to him.


    Chen Qiang madly fights with all he has for one day straight with the monster. He lost one of his hands from its bite, with a lot of deep wounds, broken bones, and almost lost consciousness as he keeps fighting hard with it, still not showing his weakness.


    The monster itself is very far from being unscathed. One of its wings gets severed and its body has a lot of sword marks on it. In the end, when the monster gets concerned, he wants to give the finishing blow to it, swinging his sword to slice off the monster''s head, simultaneously the monster opened its mouth and radiance started to form in front of its mouth and shoot to him.


    When he just felt his sword cutting its head, he got hit by the ray from the monster, in the instant, his gaze went blank and he could not feel his body again.


    He doesn¡¯t have a slight unwillingness. It¡¯s just unfortunate that he lives full of regrets and suffers in this world. If he can have a dream once again with her sister or even their parents, maybe he will die full of content.

 Chapter 4. Starts Over

    On the roof of one building at Jiangnan University, Chen Qiang reminisces about his memory. Currently, he''s just in his first year and has not been too long in this college.


    Now it is around 3 years before the apocalypse, so he must get ready before that as he doesn''t want his sister to suffer like in his memory. He really has to be prepared in order to protect his dear sister and live in the upcoming apocalypse era.


    ¡®Sisters, I swear from today onward I will protect both of you with all I have and every way I can to not get you to suffer in this world again''


    Their parents died in the crash 3 years ago when he was in first grade in high school, so he became mature earlier. Back then his sisters Qing''er still in her second year in middle school and Xi''er in her fourth year in elementary school. Since then his sisters have become more and more dependent on him. Now it has 3 years and her sisters Chen Qing is in the second year of high school while Chen Xi in the third year of middle school.


    He then sees a lot of people who go out of their classrooms, with resolute he said,


    "Now I have to prepare for the apocalypse" then he goes to the parking place and rides his Benzs sports car to their home.


    Now it is an afternoon when he arrives at the front gate at his home. The guard then opened the gate. He drives his car to the front of his house while his heart beats fast when he sees his sister''s car in front of the garage.


    He gets out of his car and goes to the front of the door. With the trembled body, he opened the door and slowly went to the living room. There he saw his sisters who watch the tv and play their phone on the sofa. He just stood still there as he watched them.


    His little sister Xi''er busily playing her phone with a smile on her cute face while Qing''er fixated her gaze on the large screen with her slender body leaning on the sofa.


    "I-I''m home" with a shivering voice, he said, trying to hold his tears.


    "Oh brother, you''re back!" Chen Xi greeted his brother enthusiastically.


    "Welcome home," Chen Qing said with a smile on her face.


    Chen Qiang was reminisced by their smile. It has been very long since he saw the smile on their face again. Even Qing''er never smiles this bright again since the apocalypse began.


    "Qing''er, Xi''er I miss you" while he said this, he comes closer to sitting between them and hugging both of them.


    ¡®This really a bliss to can see and be with them like this again. Even if I have to get more suffering in that world until my old age, I would gladly accept it''


    "What''s up with you now brother, aren¡¯t we always see each other every day?" Chen Xi said while she also hugged Chen Qiang.


    "Ha-ha... For me, it''s too long to doesn¡¯t see my cute Xi''er for a whole day," with a smile on his face, he seems said jokingly to Chen Xi but actually is the truth, this day for him was like 10 years.


    "Heeeh, so it''s just Xi''er, while I¡¯m not huh? Brother, you''re so mean," Chen Qing then said while pouting jokingly.


    "Who said that? I miss my beautiful Qing''er too of course."


    Chen Qiang really misses this day, he was so hurt when remembering Chen Qing appearance in his memory before she died.


    "You must go to bath first brother, do you know? You are so stinking now, " she then tries to pull off his hand from her waist.


    "Hehe, aren¡¯t you the one who is mean, Qing''er. Ha-ha... Alright, alright, I will go first, but be sure don''t miss me, okay," Chen Qiang said while looking at her, who still tries hard to pull off his hand from her waist. After he had contented himself by teasing her, he stood up and went to the bathroom.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    "In your dreams!" Chen Qing shouted while looking at his back with a smile, ever since their parents died in the crash, their lack of care.


    As a matter of fact, even when the maidservants look after them, they would still feel it differently, because the workers just do their duty and do not really care about their feelings.


    But their brother is their kin, he really cares about them, he always cheers them up when they are sad and encourages them when they do something. They often get spoiled in front of Chen Qiang.


    Chen Qiang went to his room and saw a familiar room that was almost forgotten by him. He now still has a home and more importantly, he can see his sisters again.


    With that, he relaxly goes to the bathroom. After he takes a bath, he then put on the clothes and wants to comb his hair. He looks at his handsome face in front of him. He has slightly glossy black hair and deep black eyes.


    ¡®Ha-ha, look at my face now if I compare to my face back then, it''s would be like a vagrant, but now this face looks so tender and white like a woman.'' With narcissism, he looks in the mirror.


    After that, he walks downstairs to his sisters.


    Chen Qing heard sounds from the stairs and looked there and saw his brother coming from upstairs. Her face looks not contented and said rather loudly.


    "Xi''er look at our brother, even we weren''t so long in the bathroom. I''m wondering what our brother doing there for so long."


    Chen Qiang just to see his sisters when his sister Qing''er said so loudly about him. In the past lives, he very rarely takes a bath, doesn''t say a bath, even to wash his face, it is really difficult as he has to save the water.


    There are a lot of places that got contaminated because of the nuclear, so he must try to save water sometimes. Now faced with the luxurious bathroom, he gradually lost the sense of time. Although he feels ashamed, he really doesn''t care about it, rather he felt so happy to see his sister childish act.


    "Hehe, sorry that your brother is wrong, I shouldn''t leave my Qing''er too long after all," he then tries to hug her.


    This time her sister does not resist at all, as she just lets her brother and leans her head on his shoulder.


    "Brother, can we now have a watch on a new movie together? I set it now, okay?" Chen Xi said while looking at his brother.


    "Okay, tomorrow we will go shopping anyway so we can stay up for tonight," he smiles and told Xi''er


    "Yay! But brother, you must accompany us until the end okay?¡± Chen Xi happily cheered and then her expression suddenly seems to become serious


    "Okay, until you are too tired to walk."


    "Hehe, then you must carry me when that happens," Chen Xi said jokingly with expectation''s expression on her face, her expression plus her petite body makes her so adorable.


    "Is my little sister not embarrassed to be carried by me?"


    "Why I have, didn''t in the past, I''ve often been carried by you, brother?"


    "But that was in the past. Okay, I will look forward my little princess," He then said while jokingly imitating a servant give a bow to his little miss.


    As he and Xi''er happily chatted, Chen Qing then suddenly said,


    "Brother, aren''t we going to school tomorrow?"


    "Mood breaker," Chen Xi mumbling angrily.


    "You don''t need to be angry, Xi''er. We''re still going. As for school, just don''t have to go for tomorrow," Chen Qiang calmly said.


    "Brother, are we really not going to school? Don''t you always encourage us to be serious at school?" Chen Qing said to his brother with doubt, he always encourages them to be serious at school.


    They also sometimes go out for a refreshing, but that''s not so often, usually when they''re on a long holiday or they''re doing well in school, but now that seems to be the reverse. Even when Xi''er kept glaring at her, she still said those words.


    "Hehe, but not again. You''re too stiff right now so we must just relax, okay?"


    It was really not again now. The school now just has slightly usage in the future except for the advanced grade. Even when she finished her high school it did not help too much in the future. Although they are the hope for the future, the condition is that they must have a safe and stable place to don¡¯t get worried every day about their lives.


    Although Chen Qing slightly hesitated, she still follows his words in the end. They are watching the new movie together as he just sank into his thoughts as he tries to make a plan for the future in his head.


    Chen Qiang woke up from his thoughts because of the film that has ended. He then looks to his sisters, just to see they have slept and both of them lean their heads on his shoulders. He is not aware that they have slept long ago.


    He gently pulls their arms from his body. Then he lifts Chen Qing head first to the backrest sofa and carries Chen Xi to her room. After he put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket, he then gave her a kiss on her forehead.


    Afterward, he goes back to the living room and also gently carrying Chen Qing to her room, the feminine room that has a lot of cute dolls.


    After all, even when his sister is always putting the queen''s air around her when she is on the outside, she is still a girl in the end. He sees Chen Qing still sleeping peacefully in his embrace. Her beautiful face now was so tranquil and breathtaking. Chen Qiang smiled and kissed her forehead, then he put her on the bed and as well covering her with a blanket.


    Afterward, he went back to his room and just laid down to sleep. This is really heaven for him. He can sleep peacefully without any disturbance or worry.

 Chapter 5. Just Go Now

    Late in the morning, Chen Qiang was awakened by the disturbance in front of his door.


    ¡°Brother, why do you still sleep? Didn¡¯t you promise us to go out on this day?. You are so lazy¡± Chen Xi loudly shouting while knocking on the door.


    ¡°Alright alright. I have woken up now, just wait for me a while, okay?¡± Chen Qiang replies to her sister and then he yawns while stretching his body.


    When he opens the door, he sees Chen Xi pouted while looking at him, she was dressed neatly and it looks so refreshing.


    ¡°Tch, you have promised us to go out, but look at you now, you¡¯re so messy! You are really lazy.¡± Chen Xi said resentfully to him.


    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m sorry okay, that¡¯s because I slept too late yesterday. If you watched the movie until the end, maybe that¡¯s you who still sleep with a pool of saliva on your pillow,¡± Chen Qiang said sorry to Chen Xi and joked to her.


    ¡°Humph!¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯m just joking. Where is Qing¡¯er now? Does she still sleep?¡± Chen Qiang then asked.


    ¡°Don¡¯t equate yourself with the elder sister, brother. She is not like you. She¡¯s now waiting in the living room. And don¡¯t make nonsense again, just hurry yourself to get ready!¡°


    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t get angry anymore or you will get the wrinkle in your face soon¡± Chen Qiang did not comply to Chen Xi and still teased her, afterward he hurriedly wanted to go back to his room to escape.


    ¡°Your face has full wrinkles!¡± Chen Xi said angrily, but her angry¡¯s look just makes her more adorable and only makes him want to still tease her, but he really has too late. He doesn¡¯t want this to be canceled either.


    ¡°Just wait a while, I¡¯ll soon get ready,¡± he said while going to his room.


    This really is not taking a long time at all as he quickly gets bathed and casually picks his clothes.


    Chen Qiang went out of his room and wanted to go to the living room, but he got greeted,


    ¡°Good morning, young master.¡± Zhang Kai greeted Chen Qiang.


    ¡°Good morning too uncle.¡± Chen Qiang greeted him back as he sees this old housekeeper who still has full of vigor. Now he is still at his peak age, 49 years old. He doesn''t seem slightly look old at all.The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    In Chen Qiang''s past life, 1 year before the evolution day, Zhang Kai¡¯s wife, Lan Shuang passed away because of a sudden heart attack, since then he has become more and more spiritless.


    Moreover, when the sudden change happened, all of his sons and daughter were in another city, which gave him the heaviest blow in his life.


    Zhang Kai doesn''t have parents anymore, he just has one wife with two sons and one daughter. He and his eldest son manage Chen Qiang father''s business, The eldest son even since his child has been taught by him, while the rest only focused normally on their school.


    The eldest son, Zhang Mu is 25 years old. He with his fiancee, Bai Mei, lives in Shanghai while he manages his father''s business there. While the elder brother, Zhang Ping is 19 years old and now stays in Shanghai and went to the prestigious university there. The little sister, Lan Yue is 17 years old, one year younger than Chen Qiang. She lives with Aunt Lan Shuang on near her high school.


    "Well, I want to go out today with my sisters to reflexing. Uncle, you too sometimes should have to relax with Aunt Lan, not just on your holidays, or you will get old soon and now you still don''t have grandchildren right?" Chen Qiang said to Zhang Kai with concern.


    "Hehe, you don''t have to worry young master. As for about the grandchildren, that boy will get soon married and I just need to order him to have as soon as possible, I see if he dares to not comply."


    "Ha-ha, that''s nice to hear. Okay, uncle, I''m going first."


    "Alright, be careful."


    "Okay," Chen Qiang said while going to the living room.


    In the living room, he sees Chen Xi and Chen Qing get bored.


    "I''m sorry to have made you wait," Chen Qiang said while going near them.


    Chen Xi sees his brother coming and looks not contented. Then she said,


    "Well, just go now," while going out.


    Chen Qiang sees his sisters going out, but he is not angry at all as he just smiles and follows them.


    On the road, Chen Qiang drives his Benz with his sister in the car.


    "Hey sisters, why are you so quiet from earlier, are you not happy?" Chen Qiang asked his sister, but his question was not answered. He sees Chen Xi just looking at the window and ignoring him while Chen Qing busily plays her phone.


    "Xi''er I''m sorry, That''s my fault. Just don''t get mad at me anymore, how can we go out like this?. If you forgive me now, I don''t mind going anywhere you want," Chen Qiang said sorry and tried to persuade her.


    The indifferent face of Chen Xi now suddenly gets full of smiles, she then turns her head and looks at Chen Qiang.


    "Hehe, then you must keep your words brother," Chen Xi said gleefully to Chen Qiang. But, how Chen Qiang didn''t know his sister was not truly angry and just acted from earlier. Even so, he just kept up with her because it will not be funny if she truly gets angry.


    "Don''t worry Xi''er, how can your brother go back to his words. But you are not selfish are you to ignoring your elder sister?"


    "I''m not like you. How can I ignore my elder sister?"


    "Haha, yes, yes. How can my cute little sister ignore her elder sister." Chen Qiang said teasingly. Then he asks her,


    "So, where do you want to go now?"


    "Hmm... Now it''s still very hot outside, so I think we can go to the aquarium."


    "Well, I don''t have an objection, but how with you Qing''er."


    "I don''t have either," Chen Qing said.


    "Alright, that decided we would go to the aquarium now," Chen Xi said energetically. Afterward, Chen Qiang rides to the aquarium.

 Chapter 6. Swim Freely Like Them

    At the aquarium in Jiangnan City, Chen Qiang and his sister were strolling around. They see a lot of sea creatures like stingrays, clownfish, sea turtles, even sharks and so on.


    Chen Qiang always pondered what it looks like when a marine animal like a shark gets mutated. In his past life, he never goes out to the sea or crosses it, so he never sees a mutated marine beast. Because not to say marine animal, even in the huge river that has a lot of fish in it, that will be a dangerous zone for humans. You can imagine if you get plunged into a river that has a lot of piranhas, and not to say that it''s just the smallest mutated beast and not the big one.


    "Hey brother, what are you thinking?" Chen Qing said to Chen Qiang


    "Eh, I''m just wondering if I can swim freely like them."


    "*chuckle*... Brother, that is child''s words, do you really want to be like it?, then you should not be near us because you will always get stench," Chen Qing said jokingly.


    "Hehe, then it looks like I must give up since I don''t want to be far from you," Che Qiang said teasingly.


    "Heeh...That idle talk of you, I know you will not want with us again if you have a girlfriend right?


    "Haha, I get curious to see if the girl can divert my look from you, cause even if she is ten times more beautiful than you, it still would not take effect on me."


    "Well, we can see later if your words are just idle talk," Chen Qing said while she gets warm in her heart.


    They continued strolling and afterward went to the restaurant. After they have rested and eaten there, they continue to go to the amusement park and play some games before going home.


    ....


    "Hey brother, thanks for today. Our little sister has been studying too hard recently, so I''m afraid she will get some stress. Fortunately, you take her out, maybe she will get relaxed after some rest." On their way home, Chen Qing said to Chen Qiang while looking at Xi''er that had gotten slept


    "Haha, don''t mention it Qing''er, after all, that is my fault as well. I''ve been too busy just to take her out." Chen Qiang said apologetically to his sister.


    "Yeah, brother. I think Chen Xi studied hard because she wants to get more attention from you. As she just started her first grade, even now she rarely goes out with her friends"


    "Yeah, maybe that''s true. Well, Qing''er why do you not sleep too?. Don''t worry, I will not wake you from your sleep, because I will carry you like last night, ha-ha" Chen Qiang said teasingly while Chen Qing gets flushed in her face.


    They arrived at the front of their house in the afternoon, his sisters go to their room while he meets the housekeeper. Chen Xi has awakened before they arrive so he doesn''t wake or carry her.


    "Uncle." In the backyard of the house, Chen Qiang called Zhang Kai, who was drinking tea while looking into the garden.


    "Welcome home, young master." When Zhang Kai heard the call from Chen Qiang, he wants to get up and politely greet him but gets stopped by Chen Qiang.


    "It''s ok." He said while sitting in front of him.


    "Is there something you need?" Zhang Kai asked at the same time he gave a mug of tea.


    He accepted the mug and calmly said,


    "Thanks. I need your help uncle."


    "What can I do, young master?" Zhang Kai wondered what his young master needed from him as he rarely asks him something.


    Afterward, Chen Qiang slowly told his old housekeeper to sell all the cars that he didn''t use, estate, resorts and villas under his name. Basically, almost all of his assets. Then make a dog care facility in a small park with one villa-like house in there, and make a dog''s playground as well a facility for training the military dog near the dog care facility.


    "Eh...Young master, I don''t mind making the dog care facility, but are you really sure to sell your collection car and business?. Forget about cars. But the business, you have given a lot of attention to it!" Zhang Kai almost spurted the tea in his mouth, he was so shocked when he heard Chen Qiang saying that, so he could not help but wanted to ask him. Who would be insane to sell their promising business? Moreover, the business itself is from his father''s hand to honing him, Chen Qiang managed the businesses personally since three years ago when his parents still live, with he sometimes helping him.


    If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it."You don''t need to worry uncle, I know what I do," Chen Qiang said with an unquestionable voice.


    "But..*sigh*. Alright young master, if that''s what you want," Zhang Kai helplessly complies with his young master. He knows his young master is not playing because that is the business left by his father. Besides, Chen Qiang himself manages those businesses.


    Afterward, Chen Qiang called and told the lawyer that he wanted to inherit the inheritance of his father. He would take all the assets left by his father, the various businesses, belonging, etc. The most important of its, he would be one of the board directors of the Duwei group, the group that his father took care of with his blood and sweat, like his own child. He would also be the highest charge of the other various businesses which managed by Zhang Kai and Zhang Mu now.


    The lawyer lets out a long breath. He feels his body gets lighter, like a boulder pressing his body suddenly vanishing. He has a headache enough to only give this ''big inheritance'', but what''s on the mind of that full of fortune youth to delaying this for almost a month just because of nonsensical reasons, give him the most depressing situation in his life.


    The lawyer said that the inheritance will be fully given in about three months. Because it will not be funny to play with some billions of US$, this has been three years since his father''s share got handled by the company, He has to ensure Chen Qiang would not affect the company if he wanted a smooth process, so it is not good if he gets rushed.


    ...


    The morning sun gently illuminates Chen Qiang''s body. His eyes closed to feel the warmth around him while he was breathing fresh air in the morning, the few trees around him make him look natural. His handsome face full of tranquillity with the irradiation of the morning sun makes him very fascinating.


    "Hey brother, I''ve searched for you and you just relaxedly sit here in the garden" Chen Qing stands there and looks to his brother, she slights hesitant to call him when she looks at him so enjoyed, but not long, she still called him.


    How could Chen Qiang not know his sister was there from earlier, but he still sits there motionless, and when he hears his sister call him, he opens his eyes and looks at her.


    "Sorry, but what''s up sister?"


    "Are you don''t want to go to college while with us?"


    Chen Qiang heard Chen Qing mentioned the college, so he understands what happened. They usually go with him to their school while he goes to his college, so when he is not in his room or in the living room Chen Qing searches for him.


    "Not like that Qing''er, I''m sorry to not tell you earlier, but I temporarily will not go to the college," Chen Qiang said to his Chen Qing.


    "Eh...Why? Is there any problem?" Chen Qing said with concern.


    "No Qing`er that just small matter that makes me busy"


    "Are you want me to help you?" Chen Qing said. She knows well her brother, he is always diligent and hardworking, he will not go to college just because of a small matter.


    "That doesn''t need, Qing''er. It''s not too troublesome," Chen Qiang said with a smile, he was really happy to see his sister worry about him.


    "Alright brother, if you need my help don''t hesitate okay?. Then I''m going first," Chen Qing said after she was rejected.


    "Okay, be careful."


    "Yes, brother," she said while going out of the garden.

 Chapter 7. Quit?

    The dog care facility has been completed in one month. This month he always accompanies his sister when they are free from school. Moreover, they often do not attend classes just for strolling, window shopping, playing, traveling and so on with Chen Qiang. Also, this month he officially quit from Jiangnan University.


    Chen Qiang himself started training his body in the villa-like house near the dog care facility, which has been changed to be a workout place.


    Although he just started training this month, it still gives him a lot of changes.


    Even though he doesn''t have bulging muscles or six-packs, his stamina improves and his body gets slightly elastic.


    His method training for now is not to build his body full of muscle, it is purposely for endurance and makes his body flexible.


    His method is very simple, for endurance, he just does circuit training with the end he runs around the small park that is approximately twenty hectares until tired and feels his body very heavy.


    Afterward, he went to the villa that had changed to be a workout place. There he rests for around 10-15 minutes to make his stiff body get slightly relaxed, then he starts his training to make his body more flexible while his body is still hot.


    For flexibility, the technique is like Hip Flexor, Seated Trunk Twist, Foldover stretch, Lower Back, Swan Stretch, etc., with a lot set for each movement.


    He can only train for half a day when his sisters are not going to school this month. During the other half day, he spent accompanying them.


    At night, Chen Qiang and his sisters were watching the movie while eating snacks when suddenly Chen Qing asked him.


    "Brother, when will you go to college again? This has been 1 month. Does the university give you permission this long?"


    Chen Xi, who was eating while watching the movie, got curious too and could not stop asking,


    "Yes, brother, you are never going again and just training or playing with us, you are really so idle. Yet until now you still don''t have any bulge muscle"


    Chen Xi knows his brother training, because when they return home his brother always gets to sleep or gets exhausted, so they have asked him. Then he just said he was training his body, making them speechless.


    Of course, they will not believe him, so they went to see their brother training in the park and got shocked because of that.


    They saw their brother start with light stretching, then squat up, bench up, sit up, squat thrust, etc., so many times. Maybe that''s just normal training, but afterward, he runs slightly fast around in the park and slowed after getting a few laps, then after he gets another lap he stopped, he is panting with his body drenched with sweat and slightly trembling. After he stopped panting, they went to the workout place their brother built. Then they see him doing something like yoga, but more extremes.


    ''What is on the mind of him? Why is he training like a madman? Is that my brother who doesn''t even have scheduled jogging?''. They seem to have a lot of astonishment and have the same thought. Moreover, he did this like he was accustomed, so albeit to their astonishment, they were convinced he hadn''t lied.


    "What do you know Xi''er, if I want those muscles, maybe I already have a lot in my body," Chen Qiang said while rolling his eyes.


    "So why are you doing it? It doesn''t have use at all!" Chen Xi said angrily, she really worries if he someday overuses his body and gets sick.


    Chen Qiang sees his sister get angry, but he just thought something. He only slightly hesitated after he thought about it. Then he said very seriously to Chen Qing,


    "Qing''er listen to me, I want you to quit from your school," Chen Qiang said, making them get shocked, especially Chen Qing. But then she calmly asked him,


    "Quit? But why?" Chen Qing asks with doubt as she sees Chen Qiang really seem serious.


    A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation."Please believe me sisters, because I have a trusted friend and his father is head of research biology of the government, he said his father researched virus-like things that could make people crazy and that the government has started making a lot of bunkers to shelter from the chaos," Chen Qiang said seriously, although the reason is complete nonsense.


    "But if it''s like that, why is the government not telling the people and how to avoid it?" Chen Qing wanted to believe her brother, but the reason really didn''t make sense and made her doubt too.


    "Qing''er, that is because the government doesn''t want a lot of chaos! The virus-like thing is really hard to avoid. It''s up to you to believe me or not. But if you trust me, please follow my words. And... Even if I have to, no matter what, even if you hate me, I will still force you Qing''er. If I really wasn''t certain about this, why should I quit from college and train so hard? Moreover, I have already told Uncle Zhang to sell almost all of my assets. " Chen Qiang helplessly shook his head.


    "Okay brother, I trust you and will follow your words, but how with Chen Xi?" Chen Qing said with a sigh, she really doubts his reason, but she still trusts him, like always.


    "As for the little sister, she will as well, but not now."


    "Eh.... Brother, why only me that will not stop from school? Do you not love your little sister? And only want with the elder sister?" Chen Xi said with a frown on her face, she gets confused when they suddenly become serious and talk about the virus-like. Then she heard Chen Qing would stop her school while she was not, so she became sad and asked Chen Qiang.


    "Silly girl, why does your brother not love you? But you''re just in your first year in junior high school, are you sure you want to stop and will not go again?"


    "Brother, you and elder sister would stop so why don''t I? Doesn''t you afraid of virus-like things and make elder sister Chen Qing stop her school? Then why I''m not?"


    "Xi''er you''re still too young, do you not want to play with your friends again?. This is not a joke at all Xi''er and I just wanted you to spend slightly more of your time in your school before you quitting too." Chen Qiang said with concern. Although it would be good if his little sister could train earlier. However, she is only 12 years old and he is afraid she cannot bear the training he gives mentally.


    "Brother! I know you just want to stay away from me. You and elder sister can stop school and be together while you order me to play with other people because I''m too young?!" Chen Xi said angrily with a loud voice.


    "No Xi''er, it''s not like that, after you stop from your school, it will be hard to gather with them again. Are you not getting bored only with us?"


    "From all of the reasons you choose this? Getting bored only with us? Don''t we always happy when we go out together these days? Are you mocking me? They''re not fun at all. Even if I get bored so what?!, if I still go to school while you and elder sister do not, maybe we will rarely see each other because now you often do not return home now!. Do you want to stay away from me, brother?" Chen Xi with sad and angry emotion said, while her red eyes kept pouring tears.


    Chen Qiang sees his sister''s pitiful expression so he cannot stop recalling Chen Xi''s appearance back then, that scene is still clear to him. His body trembled and emotionally, he said,


    "No no Xi''er don''t say those words again, I''m sorry, okay?. If that is what you want, you can do whatever it is and don''t need to say anything to me, so I beg you please stop cry okay?" Hurriedly, he said, embracing her in his bosom.


    Initially, Chen Xi resists him, but Chen Qiang still tries to embrace her. In the end, she just lets his brother embrace her while she is crying.


    After not too long, Chen Xi stopped crying, but Chen Qiang still keeps hugging her and not letting her, she then hugs Chen Qiang too.

 Chapter 8. Chen Qing Thought

    Today we are going to the cinema together to watch a new movie after my brother finished his half-day training like always. Chen Xi and I rarely went to school anymore. We are now spending more of our time doing what we want. Although initially I¡¯m not used to this as I would always have many activities in school and reviewing the lesson at home.


    However, after feeling spoiled action from my brother and activity we had these days, all I can say is this is the best feeling I can have in my life. Like those years when our parents were still here with us, the days we spent with full of happiness, doing whatever we wanted, seeing my brother get scolded by our parents, the pampered Chen Xi that''s always stuck to mother and...


    * Sigh *


    Like the time that cannot be stopped, we must continue our lives, albeit without them. Although it has been three years since our parents left us. For me, it seems just like yesterday that they left when we see our parents¡¯ burial.


    The time seems so fast that it gives no time for us to face reality. Only my brother, though, that just seemed to acquiesce to their departure, while Chen Xi seemed so lost in a daze, eventually crying in the embrace of our brother.


    Chen Xi seems similar to me, although she has many friends, the way she interacted with them is hypocritical in front of my eyes, and hides her true emotions. It¡¯s like she changed to another person, while I on the other hand just chase away all the people that want to be my friend just because I¡¯m rich.


    ¡°Hey, Qing¡¯er! Why are you daydreaming in there, do you not want to go with us?¡± As I was thinking about those things, my brother suddenly called me from the outside.


    ¡°Ah yeah, wait for me, brother!¡± I said that as I wiped my wet eye, then walking out with a long breath.


    .....


    In the cinema, I see my brother watching the movie, but he seems like he''s not focused on it and has his thoughts on something else.


    I don¡¯t know why, but he is often like this when not doing something or doing something like this, watching a movie or seeing scenery always makes him lost in his thoughts.


    Ever since that day when my brother returns home, he gradually looks so different, but I cannot say what the difference is in him.


    On that day he said "Qing''er, Xi''er I miss you." while he sits between me and Xi''er then hugs us. Although it seems he is joking with us, but when I remember my brother''s expression back then I would always think that what he said is the truth.


    I get bewildered because of that as I rarely hear my brother say that because almost every day we see each other.


    He looks so happily embracing us, but for me, it''s a little unnatural, because even if we really close It¡¯s not too this intimately, so I slightly avoid and just let my brother''s hand in my waist while looking at him.


    Then I saw him and Chen Xi were joking around and hugging each other so intimately, they looked so happy while I worried about something unimportant, so I joked too but he replied to me while teasing and hugging me.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.


    I cannot take that, so I jokingly said to chase him away. After he was gone, I asked my little sister what happened to him, but she looked confused because of my question and asked the same question to me.


    I''m not like a little sister. I have matured and really know a lot of things, so I''m more sensitive and shy than her.


    I''m really thinking a lot about it, but in the end, I just convinced myself that my brother just more cares for us and chase away my little unnatural feeling toward him.


    That night, we happily chatted and watched a new movie.


    I feel so sleepy, but the movies are still not over, I just lean my head on my brother''s shoulder to get a more comfortable position and don''t know when I fell asleep.


    Afterward, I get to wake up and feel my body get lifted up, I want to open my eyes but suddenly I smell my brother''s aroma.


    I then knew what was happening, it seemed like my brother was carrying me to my room, but I just pretended to still sleep to avoid this embarrassment.


    My brother took me to my room. After we had arrived, he still did not place me on the bed. I feel he stares at me, and I don¡¯t know why, but it makes my heart race.


    I cannot endure anymore to open my eyes when suddenly I feel something soft and slightly warm on my forehead.


    I got flustered and my eyelids trembled. Fortunately, he seems not aware of that and put me on the bed, then covering me with the blanket.


    .....


    Since that day he really looks so cared and intimate to us.


    Even when the little sister gets angry, he gently tries to appease her or when she has unreasonable demands or gets him in trouble he never once scolds her.


    Day after day he keeps accompanies us in his free time. We went strolling, window shopping, playing, traveling and so on.


    We went out almost when we had free time. Even my little sister and I occasionally do not go to school just to play with him at the beach, swimming pool, park, etc.


    We also sometimes train with him. Nah, it''s just some exercises like running on the treadmill. We don¡¯t like our madman brother when training and he himself, saying that we can do whatever we want until he officially inherited our parents.


    Although we were slightly affected by his training as we increased the time we ran on the treadmill. Well, only a little, though. But surprisingly Chen Xi doesn¡¯t make a ruckus when we exercise with him, she seems only docile when she sees our brother have a serious face, like when he is training.


    My unnatural feeling sometimes appears at the start, but now that has long gone and replaced by wanting to be spoiled by him.


    He now is like their mother who takes care of them,


    Like a father who protects them,


    Like best friends who know a lot about them,


    And even like a servant that always complies with their request.


    But my brother is getting more and more mysterious. He keeps his tough training and never going again to college, I never again see him playing with his friend and always keep aloof air when he is not with us.


    I was worried about him, so I asked him. He said he had officially stopped from college and why he kept training hard, then he told me to drop out of school.


    This is all because of a virus-like thing, although I doubt his reason, I never doubt him.


    Not to say again, this month he really cares more about us so I just comply with his request. Even if what he said was complete nonsense, although it would not good as we have to stop from school, it would not be to the point of harming us. After all, even if we just lavishly spend our time and do what we want, we don¡¯t need to worry about anything as we really have a lot of fortune from our parents.


    However, if what he said is true. Whatever this world will become, as long as we have each other, I will not be afraid of it.


    Afterward, my little sister got sad and angry at him because she would not soon stop from her school like me. Although I could understand her, as we were really happy in that month, not like beforehand that we seem to live in our world respectively, the life now seems so bright and colorful, it makes it hard for us to part with it.


    Then our brother helplessly complies with her in the end, and Chen Xi meekly keeps embracing him.


    .....


    As I wake from my thoughts in the cinema, I look at my brother at my side while smiling, then I reach his hand and gently hold it. My brother seems surprised as he wakes up from his thoughts and looks at me, then he just smiles and holds my hand too.


    If we can always be like this, it will be the best life I can have....

 Chapter 9. Who’s your friends name, Kid?

    "Good morning, Uncle Zhang." In the morning, Chen Qiang went to meet Zhang Kai and greet him.


    "Good morning young master. Do you want to ask about your business? Don''t worry, I''ve already sold all of it." Zhang Kai sees Chen Qiang in the morning to come upon him. He knows Chen Qiang has some matters to him, so he asked him.


    "Not that uncle," Chen Qiang said while shaking his head.


    "Are you want to transfer the money to your bank card now?"


    "It doesn''t need, uncle. I just want you to buy 50 German shepherds and 50 Doberman Pinscher puppies around 3-5 weeks old. The puppies must come from the best seedlings and not have the slightest flaw. Then you hire a lot of specialists in assisting me in taking care of them. You can also bring those specialists to choose the puppies."


    "Alright, I expected this anyway. However, why do you have to take care of them personally? Isn''t that enough giving them to the specialists?" Although Zhang Kai knows he will buy the dog, he still didn''t expect his young master to buy this many. Moreover, why does he have to take care of them personally? Does he really want to be a dog breeder?


    "That is okay. After all, they will be my pets anyway, so it''s normal that I also take care of them. Please remember, uncle, I don''t want them to even have the slightest flaw and the specialist must be professional. I don''t care how much you multiples their salary as long as you can ensure they are professional." Chen Qiang ordered him seriously.


    Chen Qiang did not even slightly care what Zhang Kai thought. Initially, he just wants puppies around 30 because it is convenient to take care of them. However, he doesn''t have the guarantee that they have high survivability and this is the only chance for him.


    When he wandered in the apocalypse era, he saw a lot of things, including a mutated pet that was still together with its owner. They fight and survive together.


    So he wants to try his luck to train a lot of pets for his protection in the future.


    After he has said those words he slightly hesitates to continue the matter he should handle, he doesn''t know how to say ''that'' without falling out with him.


    "What''s wrong, young master?" Zhang Kai asked as he saw Chen Qiang turned silent.


    "It''s... I want to sell all the assets from my father''s inheritance, uncle." Although he hesitated to say those words now as the timing wasn''t right, he still said that in the end as he can''t wait for the asset left from his father turned into money.


    "Wh...what?! What are you saying Chen Qiang?! What happened to you? Is it still not enough for you to sell all the assets of you beforehand? Don''t you know how much effort of your father and grandfather are?! I have even been spending a lot of my years on those." Zhang Kai said tempestuously, he stares unbelievingly at Cheng Qiang. He almost said all on his mind to him.


    "I know uncle, with this I will destroy two generations of effort, disappointing my parents, you and brother Mu. However, this is what I have decided, and I will still do that no matter what." He spoke softly to Zhang Kai.


    "You!" Zhang Kai fumed with anger and pointed his finger at him. He then turns around and wanted to leave. But getting stopped as Chen Qiang held his hand.


    "Uncle, you calm first. Do you think I am an unreasonable person? Don''t you know me well? I will not do that without reason." He tried to persuade Zhang Kai softly. After all, he is one of the people he respected and has regarded him as his own relative. Moreover, he needs his help if he wants to sell those smoothly.


    Joke! He doesn''t even have the patience to discuss with them, It''s will only be a mess if he who does that. What if he slaps someone out of anger because they convoluted the discussion with him!


    "Now we sit first and I will explain it to you."


    Zhang Kai takes a big breath to calm himself, and then said,


    "Alright."


    After they were sitting nearby, he calmly looked at Zhang Kai and with ease said,


    "Uncle, you must have been wondering why my sisters are so lacking and doing whatever they want this month? Because they will stop their school and training like me."


    This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon."Actually what happened to your Chen Qiang?! Why do you involve them too? What do you want to make them for training as if you were a madman like you? Why do you bother them? Are you insane?!" Zhang Kai said, feeling enraged. He was really out of words to describe him recently as he did something not normal.


    He stopped from college, changed a house into a sort of gym, trained like a possessed, sold his assets without batting his eyes, built a dog care facility, and now he even wants to intervene with his sisters live, where he regarded them as nieces.


    Moreover, he wants to make them training like him too. Maybe if it''s only normal exercise or even slightly heavier, he would not mind. But what he''s doing now is completely out of sense, he runs from the morning until midday without stopping, even he is doing that outdoors, under the scorching sun! Who would be crazy enough to torture themselves?


    "It''s because we will not live in the peach world anymore." Chen Qiang said seriously, he knows that Zhang Kai would be like this because he cares about them.


    "....." Zhang Kai seems speechless to what Cheng Qiang just said. He really wants to facepalm himself now. After calming himself, he said,


    "Who said that to you kid? To make you be like this now."


    "I serious, uncle, I have a trusted friend and his father is head of the research biology department of the government, he said his father researched virus-like things that could make people crazy and that the government has started making a lot of bunkers to shelter from the chaos!" Chen Qiang said, showing his trump card. But alas Zhang Kai does not seem to believe and said while squinting,


    "Who''s your friend''s name Kid?"


    ''So he can make that expression too.'' Cheng Qiang thought, but he still doesn''t give up as he said,


    "You should believe me, uncle. Did I ever make unreasonable actions? Give me three years, and time will prove that my words are true"


    Seeing Chen Qiang still very stubborn, Zhang Kai can only sigh. Then he looked at him and said seriously,


    "You should remember this, you are an adult now Chen Qiang, you should know what the consequences of this action will have. Whatever the result will be, yourself who bears it. But to intervene with your sisters live, whatever you do, you cannot bear it as it will also give impact to your sister, no matter how insignificant it."


    "You can rest assured, uncle, I will remember this. Moreover, I do this for their too." He nodded and said earnestly.


    "At least you can still tell me about this. Though, I don''t have the right to prevent you" Zhang Kai seems to have given up forestalling Chen Qiang.


    "Don''t be like that uncle, I know you care about us and I regarded you as my own family. Moreover, I need your help too."


    "Three years right? If this can wake you up from your madness, then." Zhang Kai said.


    "I''m not crazy," Chen Qiang said, he really doesn''t know if he should be happy or not because of it. Giving him an awkward face.


    "But you need to tell Mu''er about this by yourself."


    "Of course I will. After all, he tried very hard to make those businesses stable when my father left. And Uncle, you can make the preparation from now, I really need it." Although he has a lot of money now. However, if he wants to start his plan now, it will quickly run out. Making his plan cannot run smoothly and that will give him a lot of trouble to handle. He doesn''t want to waste his time on those things as he needs to do a lot of various things, so in the future, he will not have much time.


    After all, to liquidate the stock of the Duwei group it is not a short time can solve as the value of that stock is very high. He cannot carelessly throw it to the market, and even if the rest of the shareholders want to buy it from him, they need time to collect the money no matter how tempting it is. Although the rest does not have that many values, however, the number of businesses his father has was very high.

 Chapter 10. Da Hongli

    Two months have passed since he ideally made the dog care facility and now he has 100 dogs in the facility.


    Since they arrived, he has been very busy. He personally trains them with efficient assistance from specialists. From deepening relationships, routine activities like feeding, professionally training the basic command until incredible advances like defending and chasing, accompanying play and so on.


    Now they are around 11-13 weeks old. They now easily comply with his basic order, but from the start, he got many headaches because of their different kind, the shepherd and pinscher are very often fighting and hardly getting along. Basically, because the shepherd would always tease the pinscher and eventually lead them to fight as the pinscher would sometimes take it seriously. He must always give the command to prevent them.


    He naturally gave them the name as well, but the chosen name is really crude, from Xiao Yi, Xiao Er, Xiao San until Xiao Yi-Bai. The intelligent dog from the shepherd''s group received the name from Xiao Yi until Xiao Wu-shi, while the pinscher group name is Xiao Wu-Shi-Yi until Xiao Yi-Bai.


    He carefully sets Xiao Yi and Xiao Wu-Shi-Yi as the leader of each group. He would always bring them almost anywhere he naturally went, typically training them exclusively and distinctive. Even when he went out with his dear sisters, he would very often bring them too.


    Right now it is in the breezy morning, Chen Qiang and his dogs are like always, running around in a private park with weighted tools all over his body.


    He wears a weighted vest, weighted pants, ankle & wrist weights, running around like he doesn''t have trouble at all. Even all of his dogs were wearing modification body weighted on their body.


    Chen Qiang running at the front while Xiao Yi and Xiao Wu-Shi-Yi at his side. They look so different from other pets. Furthermore, the weight on their body was heavier than the other, but they still look more freely than the rest.


    Chen Qiang did not casually set them as leaders of each group. He carefully examined and tested all of them in the last two months. Their names are set by ranking them from their potential such as their intelligence, stability, obedience, strength, endurance, behavior and so on.


    Xiao Yi and Xiao Wu-Shi-Yi have the highest potential in their group. He formed two groups based on their kind, not just forming one group because he would make a different specialty for each of them. He was also afraid that if one of their kind were to be the leader, the other kind would hardly comply with it. Even if they are formed as one group and doing well, it will not close the possibility the other kind wants to take control.


    Although the chance is almost zero as they were growing together since small and possess similar characteristics, however, they are from a different kind in the end. Furthermore, one of the purposes training he gives to them was so they would also have 100% obedience to both leaders, so he just forms two groups.


    Chen Qiang and his dogs have been running with weight on their bodies for two months. He used the lightest weighted on them at the start as they still did get unused, or it would only just make them stressed.


    Chen Qiang himself always wears weighted on his body when training, playing with his pets, accompanies his sisters, even when he sleeps he still wears it.


    The weighted gets heavier and the training gets harder, even he also would often almost faint and many of his dogs got stressed, so he slackened the pace to increase the weight on some of his pets while he, Xiao Yi, Xiao Wu-Shi-Yi and some other his pets keep continuing to increase their weight tool.


    ...


    Chen Qiang and his pets keep running when he suddenly feels someone observing him. This is his habit. Where ever he is and whatever he does, he''s always very cautious. It is not like he is extremely formidable and can perceive something, but it is like he perpetually tries to feel something. If not because of that, it would be impossible for him to survive for 10 years in his past life, in a world that has danger everywhere and not to say he is always acting solitary.


    Chen Qiang sees in the back of the trees, a man looking at him. The man looks so natural standing there with branches and leaves covering him.


    He became alarmed and halted his feet, then looked at the man. The man walked to him in a relaxed manner so he slightly reduced his worry.


    Chen Qiang looked to the man¡¯s silhouette getting closer to him, but he perceived more and more familiar as the man kept close to him.


    Xiao Yi and Xiao Wu-Shi-Yi can feel too when the man moving from there, and when they see Chen Qiang stopped and looks suspiciously to the man, they barked loudly and growled, baring their teeth as if they were warning the man, then the rest of his dogs barked as well.


    Chen Qiang observes the reaction of his dogs and became satisfied. He looked at the man curiously. The man who was still walking to him casually seems not even bothered by his dogs. He could blurry perceive him when the man gets slightly near him. He has a moderately long black beard that looks natural, his narrow eyes which he almost cannot see but looks keen, and has sharp eyebrows. However, that was unimportant because his normal looking body gives a very familiar aura to him, the aura of fighters. Ever since he got back again, he never once encountered a person who could give this aura.


    In his past life, almost every person he saw has an aura like the man and many also have a lot of different auras. Like, give a wild aura, threatening, composed, friendly until people that seem to not have an aura but still give a dangerous feeling.


    The man¡¯s aura is composed one, but he could still felt other than that, he feels a fierce aura and gets shocked.


    But he didn''t get shocked because of the man''s aura, but when he clearly sees the face and body of the man.


    He is someone he knows, that man is Uncle Da Hongli.


    Da Hongli is their parents'' personal guard, he knew from his father, he is an ex-mercenary. His father advised him when he was still alive that he absolutely must not have to doubt him and Zhang Kai and have to respect them.


    Chen Qiang knows his father regards them not just as subordinates, his father regards them as his most bosom friends and his brothers. So Chen Qiang always respected them and their family members.


    Chen Qiang didn''t know well Da Hongli as he rarely appears and would always be mysterious, but he was uncurious about him. Chen Qiang always regards him just like the ordinary ex-mercenary and just slightly better from their guard.


    But today it seems like he just knew him as his senses didn¡¯t like the past. He can tell Da Hongli is not just an ordinary ex-mercenary after he sees him again.


    In the past, he always wondered why there was not even an attempted scheme that occurred to him after his parents died. It''s not like the majority of companies are really willing to get some of their big shares controlled by a child right?


    Chen Qiang is now really sure there was no scheme or anything trick under the table to harm him in the dark because of Da Hongli. But now he is confused as to why Da Hongli keeps being the guard even after his parents died.


    In his past life, Da Hongli continued guarding his family even after his parents died. Sometimes he went somewhere he doesn''t know, as he went abroad to visit his friend''s family or matters like that. But now he is certain that is not the case because he occasionally gets injured.


    Chen Qiang is not an ignorant boy like the past, he can see Da Hongli maybe still be mercenary but not too often. Like now, in his memory, he knows Da Hongli has gone for 5 months.


    Back before the apocalypse and he inherited, Da Hongli just went and did not say even a few words to him. Before he went he always saw him very distressed. He didn''t know why he looked like this and when he looked at him or his sisters he often gets quandary.


    In the end, he just went with sad & desperate looks. Chen Qiang was slightly worried because the calm Da Hongli always looked like that recently and asked Zhang Kai what''s up with him after Da Hongli went.


    Zhang Kai just shook his head and melancholy answered ¡°All his family gets an accident,¡± after saying those words he just went as if he didn''t want to talk about it. Back then he just feels pity and not too concerned about it, but still, he wants to help him with all his capability because he is his deceased father trusted''s persons.If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.


    Now Chen Qiang is really sure the event is not so simple, mostly because of his looks when he sees him and his sisters.


    .....


    Da Hongli heard Chen Qiang would be inherited in three months, and he heard when this has passed one month, but he is still in his mission and cannot go back to China, but he tries really hard just making him get back soon to keep beside Chen Qiang.


    Da Hongli barely completed his mission and immediately went back to China. He first went back to the mansion but could not see Chen Qiang and his sisters, he got a little panicked but fortunately, he found Zhang Kai and inquired about them.


    Now he knows where Chen Qiang and his sisters are. He relaxed and went to the private park that Zhang Kai has mentioned.


    He didn''t hurriedly see Chen Qiang. He wanted to observe what he was doing. Subsequently, he heard many footsteps, so he just hides in the back tree with a lot of leaves obstructing him.


    Da Hongli gets surprised when he sees Chen Qiang run with a lot of dogs. Furthermore, he is wearing weighted tools all over his body. Although he doesn''t know how much weight it is.


    Just as he observed him not long ago, Chen Qiang stopped running with his dogs and looked toward him. Initially, he thought he was just looking somewhere, but that''s wrong as he still continues looking toward him.


    He gets shocked and thought, is that really his young master? Why is he so sensitive?¡¯ But no matter what he thinks, he would not get the answer, so he calmly walked out and went to him at a normal walking pace.

    ¡°Hello, uncle.¡± Chen Qiang greeted Da Hongli when he was close to him.


    ¡°Hello, young master,¡± Da Hongli greeted him back.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you go abroad? Why are you here?¡± Chen Qiang asked normally.


    ¡°Haha, I¡¯ve back young master. As for why I¡¯m here, am I not your bodyguard? So when I had not seen you in the mansion, I asked Zhang Kai and he said that you were here. But what are you doing here, young master?¡± Da Hongli answered and asked after that.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m just training,¡± Chen Qiang said casually.


    Chen Qiang really wants to know a lot about him, but that will just make him suspicious if he asks him straight now.


    Da Hongli wondered why he was training to the point like this. He would not ask if he was just jogging or something like that, but this training is abnormal!


    ¡°Young master, I heard you now would inherit your father''s inheritance?¡± Da Hongli said this because he thought Chen Qiang would not answer why he trained this hard.


    ¡°Yes, I would.¡±


    ¡°But why did you do this suddenly?¡± Da Hongli asked curiously. ¡®Didn¡¯t he avoided it?¡¯ And because of that he had time with his family and could go on his mission.


    ¡°Well...¡± Chen Qiang hesitated, he wanted to know him first before he told him why he wanted to inherit suddenly.


    However, he remembers again his father''s expression when he said Da Hongli is a trusted person. So he told him why he wanted to inherit now.


    The reason was the same as what he told to his sisters and Zhang Kai. After all, right now he was sure that in his past life Da Hongli has often protected him and his sisters in the dark. He also needs his help hastening his plans.


    Da Hongli gets shocked when he heard his masters'' words with a serious expression. Did he really trust his friend until he could believe there would be something like that?


    He does not believe that at all as he was not insane. Even from the past, many people believed that there would be something like the end of the world. But look now, their predictions are complete nonsense. It¡¯s just some people who desperately live in this world and have a fantasy about the end of the world.


    However, when he saw him training like this he knows at least his young masters are really serious about this. If not, even if there was something more outrageous, he would not do something that could harm his father''s inheritance. Da Hongli can just sigh and see what his young master will do.


    ¡°I don''t care if you believe it or not, you can leave now or you will have to do what I say.¡± Chen Qiang warned him seriously and said with a slightly rude tone.


    ¡°Although I didn''t believe it, I would not leave you, young master. Moreover, I have promised that to your father.¡± Da Hongli sees his young master really serious when he said this to him, so he didn¡¯t slightly hesitate when he said this.


    ¡°You will not regret your decision now,¡± Chen Qiang said casually. Albeit he felt warm inside as he saw him not even bother to think about it.


    ¡°Even when you said something more outrageous, I still would not hesitate to say this. Young master is there something you want me to do?¡± Da Hongli seriously said and asked him.


    ¡±Hmm, although it seems now is still not good timing to say this. However, the time we have is not much.¡± Chen Qiang saw Da Hongli very serious and he sure it was not lying. He really respected him to say those determined words. Although he seems very mysterious, it¡¯s not like he has many times. Also, he still can more know about him in the future. Albeit he has the risk that his plan will not get well.Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    ¡°Alright, just tell me if you want me to do something,¡± Da Hongli said with a smile.


    ¡°Then I will not be courteous, uncle. Now we just relax first, do you not just go back from abroad?" Chen Qiang said, inviting him to the villa he changed to be a workout place.


    Although he had changed the villa, there were still many places there for relaxation.


    ....


    ¡°So uncle, what did you do there for so long?¡± After they had chatted for a while, Chen Qiang asked him.


    ¡°I had just visited my friend and gathered with my family in abroad.¡±


    ¡°Where your family? Why don¡¯t you bring them here? So you can always have time with them.¡±


    ¡°No, they didn¡¯t want to come here.¡± Da Hongli said with a calm smile. Although it¡¯s slightly accidental that his young master would ask this.


    ¡°However, it is not more convenient if they are here? After all, here is their homeland while there they are just immigrants.¡± Chen Qiang said with a smile.


    ¡°Although what you said is true. But they have gotten used to living in there.¡± Da Hongli easily replied.


    ¡°Even when you are rarely there with them? And spend their lives in concealment?¡± He asked.


    The carefree attitude of Da Hongli slowly faded as he could only get silent.


    ¡°Look, uncle. It seems that you also don¡¯t want to, right? Then why do you still keep them there? Are you afraid they would get affected by your job?¡± He kept asking without giving Da Hongli a chance to answer and continued,


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be afraid, here I can guarantee they would be safe from anything that could harm them. Even if you do not believe me, Didn¡¯t I have enough money to guarantee their safety?¡± Chen Qiang gently said as he saw a wry expression on him.


    Da Hongli was really perplexed with Chen Qiang said. ¡¯Why did he suddenly become curious about my family? And also caring about them? Moreover, where did he know that my family lives abroad to avoid the risk of his job?¡¯


    ¡°Even if you can hide them, you cannot fully protect them. Furthermore, after this you will be very busy, uncle.¡± Seeing his predictions seem true, he continues to persuade him.


    Da Hongli sighed, he doesn¡¯t know if Chen Qiang is really genuine to his words. He then asked, ¡°Actually what you want, young master?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s even more simple, I only want to be prepared for the upcoming event.¡±


    ¡°The end of the peach of this world?¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡±


    ¡°.....¡± ¡®This young master, is he really serious about it to this point?¡¯. He gets slightly baffled, then he asks, ¡±What do you plan then?¡±


    ¡°How many of your trusted subordinates?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s around 25 people.¡±


    ¡°Then your mercenary¡¯s friend who you trusted?¡± Chen Qiang calmly said.


    ¡°Only 15, they were all from my old team. However, what do you want with them, young master?¡± He asked as he puzzled why Chen Qiang asked them.


    ¡°If I want them to follow me with you, how many who would agree?¡± Chen Qiang keeps his question without answering his question.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, I have to ask them first if you want to know.¡±


    ¡°Then you ask them, I don''t care about the money, you can give how much they want as long they are trusted person.¡±


    ¡°But it will be hard if you only just entice them with money, they usually have to know what they would do first.¡±


    ¡°Just tell them that a crazy rich people spend his entire wealth to prepare for upcoming disaster.¡± Chen Qiang said like a matter of course.


    ¡°How peoples will believe that?¡± Da Hongli asked. He really did not know what happened to his young master when he has gone.


    ¡°They only need to know that I really spend my wealth on it. They would not care a bit about the disaster and the rest as long they get benefit enough.¡±


    ¡°But they are still my trusted friend and subordinate, how can I harm them?¡± Da Hongli said with slightly unpleasant.


    ¡°Relax uncle. I would never harm them as long as they have not provoked me. Moreover, this will be their luck if they agree to it.¡±


    ¡°So long as you keep your word. Then what do you want us to do?¡±


    ¡°Can you do smuggle?¡± Chen Qiang asked with a smile.


    ¡°Of course it''s easy for me,¡± Da Hongli said with confidence.


    ¡°I mean a lot of firearms, to this country.¡±


    ¡°If I couldn¡¯t, I would not be mercenary. Although this would be difficult as gun control was very strict in this country¡± Da Hongli still replied at ease.


    ¡°I really mean when I said a lot, uncle. However, take it easy. I would not use it if the disaster did not happen, so you only have to hide it. You can also buy in this country¡¯s black market as long as you do not get tracked down. Well, you are more understanding than me regarding this.¡±


    After that Chen Qiang continued to say his plan while Da Hongli was getting baffled all the time after Chen Qiang said every one of his plans.


    ''Does he want to prepare for disaster or revolt?¡¯

 Chapter 12. $4.46 billion!

    15th March 2023.


    After Chen Qiang has inherited, he then almost sold all the assets of the inheritance. Like the various stocks his father has, hotels, restaurants, resorts, estates, belongings, etc. He got around $1.2 billion from it as his father''s assets were really high, mainly from belonging such as credit.


    He also makes Zhang Kai to loaned using his connections to the various bank, he almost gets 4 Billion RMB or around $590.000.000. The interest was scary though, all of it has been around 10-15% and he has had to pay it in 4 years. Although he doesn¡¯t need to worry about that. Still, it made him uncomfortable every time Zhang Kai looked at him, his gaze was really scary.


    He just leaves some business in Shanghai to give for Zhang Kai eldest son¡¯s Zhang Mu, who has been managing those since his father still lives. Although he can also sell it too, he didn¡¯t want to make Zhang Kai discontented to him.


    While the 10% shares he had of the Duwei group were auctioned to all members of shareholders.


    Because Zhang Kai has told them since two months ago, the process was very smooth as the rest of the majority shareholders were getting impatient to swallow another chunk to gain dominance in the group.


    This made a lot of sensations, in and out of the company. There a lot of people have set their sights in this share, such as the banks and a lot of people with bad intentions too. But all of their plans now were just nonsense.


    They think Chen Qiang will continue his father''s shares. Because you must know that the Duwei Company as the fiftieth largest company in China is not just for show or fame.


    Although the Duwei group has revenue of around $28 billion, the profit was only a mere $1.2 Billion on last year as costs such as taxes and operations were very high. So every year he can only get $80.000.000, as he also has to pay personal taxes.


    The most important part of the Duwei group is not the profit, but the stock itself as the market cap of the Duwei group is $26 billion. And it is still slowly rising and rarely drops. Made it be something worth investing in.


    Chen Qiang would gain more advantage if he sold it not just to all the members of shareholders of the Duwei Company.


    But as long as the price is not bad, he would be ok with that.


    He didn¡¯t want to make unnecessary trouble, like making the company get hostile to him. Although, he was not afraid of their retaliation. It is only a useless matter, maybe he would get more money but that would take his precious time too. So he just auctioned it to the company.Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.


    The shares were successfully auctioned and made his 10% shares turn into $2.6 Billion.


    Right now he has money around $3.8 billion from his father¡¯s inheritance, $590 million from loans and $70 million from his assets. He made a total $4.46 billion dollars! A fantastic number for ordinary-rich peoples.


    Right now he can initiate his plans anytime. He has also laid the easiest plan such as registered a wholesale market company and contacted many long-lasting types of food plants.


    He ordered many legal armored vehicles such as 5 Conquest Knight XV $600.000/unit, 15 Paramount Marauder $485.000/unit, 20 Renault Sherpa $272.000/unit, 20 Oshkosh L-ATV $250.000/unit, some armored trucks, and motorcycles. However, he has to get a background check to get some of it.


    Although the cost of it only sums up to $21.800.000, the spare parts from all of it almost easily double the spending. It turned out to be $35.200.000.


    He really wanted to make his private defense enterprise, so he could make the arsenal full of arms, IFV, artillery or even tanks. Alas, this country banned the private and only allowed state-owned.


    Zhang Kai has also been negotiating with the place where he wants to build his ¡®home¡¯.


    While he agreed to the Da Hongli plan such as increased the people he offered to follow him, using the firm connections where he worked, to get the various firearms as long he offered enough money.


    He can even get illegal weapons easily. After all, this country was one of the major weapons exporters, and private military companies also must have channels to get illegal weapons. They would not survive in this industry if only using the limited weapons the government has set as they need the advanced weapon to get on par with the various local or international firms.


    Regarding these, he has not set a limited budget. It was only limited to as many weapons Da Hongli could take.


    .....


    These months he was always with his pets and his sister as if the share is not his while Zhang Kai gets very busy because of it.


    One month ago his sister officially quit from their school and always stuck near him with his puppies.


    He gave Xiao Er to Chen Xi and Xiao Wu to Chen Qing, they were all female shepherd dogs. He wants the puppies he gives to be a personal guard and companion for his sisters.


    Although since before the auction Da Hongli is always with them, he will not always be on their side. After all, he has many matters to handle. So he gave it to them.


    Occasionally his sisters train them personally with his help. His sisters'' pets now also stay with them. Now in their house, there are 4 dogs that would always give him a headache as his sisters could only play with them and cannot take care of them.


    His sister has been training since they quit from their school. He also gets surprised when they continue to keep up with the training he gives.


    Furthermore, he didn¡¯t expect that Chen Xi would be even more wholehearted than Chen Qing. As his words were the decree from his father.


    While Chen Qing always seems excited when getting into the firearm training in the shooting range.


    Well, honestly, at the start he had to show them the stern and cold part of him to his sisters when they were lacking. Making them regard him as the devil when they were training.


    They did not dare to disobey him slightly and can only clench their teeth when training. After all, just his expression can make them more frightened than most horror movies, not to mention inhuman punishment from him.


    However, it is vice versa when they were not training, Chen Qiang would be like a doll in front of them, as he cannot say no when he remembered their effort. So he got trashed here and then, doing what they were like.
