Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1119 - 1118: Seal

That bastard actually urged Xu Ke to have a son in the letter and said he wants to hold a chubby grandson next time he comes back.

At this point, Xu Ke almost wanted to beat that bastard into a grandson.

He had seen careless people before, but someone this clueless was a first for him. No matter what, when that bastard comes back, Xu Ke has decided to give him a piece of his mind.

Ignoring the letter, Xu Ke gripped the porcelain bottle, popped the lid, and took a sniff. A faint fragrance filled the air, but after a while, it became slightly pungent.

"This is the medicine to unlock my second neural bundle!" Taking a deep breath, his hands trembled slightly.

Back then, he was severely injured, and Lin Guohao had to seal his seven neural bundles to prevent his condition from worsening.

At the same time, it completely sealed his powers, though it didn’t erase them, merely put them out of sight. After a year of recuperation, he finally restored his injured body to a state that could withstand the energy sealed within.

It was then that he unlocked the first neural seal, simultaneously releasing some of the sealed energy. After a period of training and honing, he had adapted to his current body. However, the feeling of being bound remained conspicuous. He had long yearned to unlock the remaining restraints.

Now, with the item sent by Lin Guohao, his joy was imaginable.

Without delaying, he tilted his head back and gulped down the bottle of medicine in one go. It felt as if something had burst forth within his body, a scorching sensation surged inside him.

The stinging pain excited him. He sat cross-legged, lotus-style, as the medicinal effects spread. When the burning sensation gradually turned gentle, power continuously surged out from within, and that lost strength was returning at an impressive speed.

It wasn’t until even the gentleness slowly dissipated that Xu Ke suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp gleam flickering within them. Unknowingly, his pitch-black pupils were covered with a layer of silver.

At that moment, it felt like he could clearly see the subtle changes in the air, and his rolling gaze carried a sense of eeriness and mystery.

After a long while, he softly groaned, covering his eyes. With the second neural bundle unlocked, alongside his growing strength, he also regained his first special ability—Demon Eyes.

"Just unlocked, the Demon Eyes can’t last too long!" he said as he waved his hand in front of him. "The action delay is only half as much."

While speaking, he glanced at the bedside table, his eyes flickering with silver light, but he quickly closed them again, pressing hard against his eye sockets.

"The x-ray vision still can’t be fully controlled, can only sort out some simple patterns, unable to see the internal!" Xu Ke quickly realized his current condition.

When his eyes felt better, he got up from the bed, pushed open the door, and stepped outside. With a glance, he saw the two people in the hall.

Lin Yiran had been waiting impatiently. When she saw Xu Ke come out, she immediately stood up and approached, her eyes scanning Xu Ke’s face, furrowing slightly in surprise.

Lin Yixin also came over, staring at Xu Ke’s cheeks, tilting her head, "This didn’t take long, did you put on makeup? How come you turned more handsome?"

She bounced twice to Xu Ke’s side, comparing her head to Xu Ke’s forehead with her hand, continuing, "Were you always this tall?"

Those seals didn’t just contain his injuries and powers; they also suppressed his internal nerves, meridians, and even the expansion of his bones and muscles.

The more seals unlocked, the more he recovered. Although he hadn’t yet returned to his former dashing self, various aspects had changed.

Now, he stood at 1.8 meters, with a more chiseled facial structure, especially that prominent nose bridge, just like before his injury.

It’s no wonder Lin Yixin was so surprised. It was akin to a transformation, yet it all happened in under an hour.

"It’s just your eyesight is poor, and the lights are dim. I’m still the same as before! Alright, you take good care of your mom. Your sister and I will head out first!"

Xu Ke was momentarily stunned but quickly regained his composure, giving a perfunctory response before leaving the villa.

On the way, Lin Yiran remained silent. From her expression, Xu Ke knew there was no reconciliation yet between her and Chen Min, so he refrained from asking more.

Upon returning to the apartment, two piercing gazes shot from a dark corner. Glancing over, he motioned for Lin Yiran to go first, while he headed towards the source of the stares.

The two assassins he had let go before were hiding in the corner, covered in wounds. Seeing Xu Ke approach, they immediately showed a vicious expression, discontentedly asking, "What on earth do you want?"

"How does it feel to be hunted? Judging by your appearances, you don’t seem to be enjoying it much!"

"You publicly assassinated the Qi family’s old man, framing us, just to see us in this sorry state? Now that you’ve seen it, are you satisfied?"

"Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed!" Xu Ke shook his head. "I thought, after everything you’ve been through, you might have learned something. In the end, you’re still so conceited!"

"You..."

"You can carry on. If there’s nothing else to say, I’ll be going! It gets chilly at night, don’t catch a cold. I’m counting on you lasting a few more days!"

Ignoring the two, Xu Ke briskly walked toward the stairwell. The two exchanged glances, staring at Xu Ke for a long while before the older one suddenly called out to Xu Ke, exuding defeat, "You win! From now on, you’re our boss!"

"Brother, what are you doing?" the younger one cried out in surprise.

"Haven’t you realized? This guy wants to back us into a corner. In Jiang City, besides him, who else can or dares to take us in?"

"But..."

"Enough, no more words. We have no retreat left, this is the only option!"

The older brother cut off his sibling, bowing deeply to Xu Ke, swallowing his reluctance.

The younger brother hesitated for a long time before lowering his head as well.

While Xu Ke watched indifferently, he smirked and said calmly, "Finally, someone with sense! Many wish to follow me, but you got lucky. Don’t worry; you won’t regret today’s decision!"

With that, Xu Ke tossed them a piece of paper and then threw a set of keys.

"Hide out and recover. I’ve prepared everything for you. You won’t starve even if you don’t go out for ten days or half a month. I need to head somewhere; we’ll discuss more when I get back! Alright, you can leave now!"

Without further ado, Xu Ke waved them off and turned back toward his apartment.

Holding the keys, the younger brother looked at his elder with frustration, saying, "Why turn to him? We..."

"No more words! This man is not ordinary! It’s only been two days, and I can no longer see through him!"

The older brother stated, leaving behind his bewildered younger sibling, dragging his steps away from the dark corner.

A long while later, the younger brother caught up, his tightly furrowed brows still not relaxed, merely glancing at the building behind with a different look in his eyes.
