Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

"Mr. Chen, let me introduce myself. I am Qin Yueguan, the head of the Qin family. Thank you so much for saving my two children."

Qin Yueguan bowed deeply to Chen Shu, expressing her immense gratitude to Chen Shu, the benefactor who had saved her children.

"How about this, you stay at my house tonight, and I'll send someone to deliver some old items from my home to you tomorrow as a small token of my gratitude. What do you think?"

"Oh dear, no need, no need." Chen Shu shook his head and looked at Qin Yueguan seriously. "To be honest, I came to your house today with a request."

"Mr. Chen, please speak. As long as it is within the Qin family's power, I, Qin Yueguan, will do my utmost!" Qin Yueguan said righteously, his eyes conveying a sense of "I would go through fire and water for you."

Upon receiving Qin Yueguan's confident reply, Chen Shu immediately perked up. "It's nothing major, just that they'd like to collaborate with our family. What do you think?"

Upon hearing the word "cooperation," Qin Yueguan's expression turned slightly serious. "Mr. Chen, could you please tell me what kind of cooperation it is?"

Suddenly realizing that he hadn't yet decided whether he could go into the mist, he naturally couldn't guarantee that he could get his hands on antiques from overseas.

Chen Shu touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, "It's just... your family is quite large, do you usually encounter people who threaten you and your family, or assassinate you?"

"This..." Qin Yueguan thought for a moment, looking somewhat disappointed. "Ever since the appearance of the mist, strange cases have been occurring from time to time in various parts of our Great Xia, and society has been in turmoil."

"As business people, we have naturally encountered some threats or assassinations, but they are mostly minor incidents. The most serious one was when my daughter Xiaoxue and Feng'er were kidnapped."

"Of course, I'm not saying it's unnecessary. Since something like this has happened, I definitely need to make some preparations."

"But, I'd like to ask, Mr. Chen, are you facing any difficulties?"

Seeing Qin Yueguan's concerned gaze, Chen Shu immediately realized that this guy thought Chen Shu was trying to find him a job.

"No, no, no, I meant I have quite a few people under me. If you need them, I can send someone over."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yueguan burst into laughter. "Alright, alright, Mr. Chen, how about you send me a hundred men first? And the price is ten thousand per person per day, how about that?"

"Deal!!" Chen Shu blurted out. "I can guarantee you that every one of my men is better than a special forces soldier. Don't worry, you won't lose out this time."

"Besides, my business isn't limited to this one thing; I'll come to you for bigger collaborations in the future."

Qin Yueguan smiled contentedly, as if this amount of money was nothing to him. "I haven't asked yet, Mr. Chen, how did you save my daughter?"

"In the past year, I have used all my connections and only managed to find out that they were captured by an organization called the 'Ancient God Church'."

In response to this question, Chen Shu nodded and casually made up a story: "Uncle Qin, you're overthinking it. I have a lot of people under me, all sorts of people."

"Don't be fooled by your extensive network; it's not as complicated as my social circle. It's easy for me to find them."

Qin Yueguan nodded, not doubting Chen Shu's answer. "I have one last question, Mr. Chen, are you... married?"

!!!

Instantly, not only Chen Shu, but also Qin Xue and her daughter who were crying tears of joy looked at Qin Yueguan in shock.

Qin Xue's mother looked at Qin Yueguan reproachfully, "What are you asking?!"

Before Qin Yueguan could answer, she looked at Chen Shu again and smiled apologetically, "I'm really sorry, please don't mind him, he was just asking a silly question."

"Why am I the one asking nonsense? I'm asking someone a serious question, so don't bother me." Qin Yueguan waved her hand, signaling Qin Xue's mother to go about her business.

"Mr. Chen, please ignore him. I was just thinking that you and my Xiaoxue are about the same age... Hey, what are you doing?"

Qin Yueguan was speaking when Qin Xue's mother walked up to him, grabbed his ear, and dragged him outside.

At the same time, he didn't forget to apologize to Chen Shu, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, please have a seat, we'll be right back."

Looking at Qin Yueguan being pulled away by Qin's mother, Chen Shu couldn't help but wonder, was he really that ugly?

After Qin Yueguan was pulled outside, he slapped Qin Xue's mother's hand away, saying, "What are you doing? This kid is a talent. He solved a problem that even Old Ye couldn't handle."

Qin's mother rolled her eyes at Qin Yueguan and snorted coldly, "You know even Old Ye couldn't handle it? What does that mean? He's definitely not an ordinary person!!"

Qin Yueguan nodded and said affirmatively, "I know, so what? I felt he was a good person at first glance, and he didn't have any bad intentions."

"You!" Qin's mother stomped her foot, turned around and walked away. "I'm going to call Old Ye. You can chat for now."

Qin Yueguan caught up with her mother and whispered, "Don't do anything rash. If we harm our daughter's savior because of this, what will we become?"

Qin's mother looked at Qin Yueguan as if he were a fool. "What kind of person do you take me for? Don't worry, we've been sponsoring 'The Night Watchman' for so long, do you think he would refuse to give us such a small amount of face?"

"Besides, such a young man can't possibly have a grudge against the Night's Watch. Don't worry, just wait for me."

Qin Yueguan hesitated for a moment, then felt that what her mother said made a lot of sense, so she simply nodded and turned back to the main hall.

A few minutes later, Qin's mother returned to the main hall with a beaming smile.

"Oh dear, I had to take a call. Where were we? Let's continue." Qin's mother looked at Chen Shu and said apologetically.

"Oh, I'm not married," Chen Shu said with a smile.

Qin's mother's smile froze. She glared at Qin Yueguan without saying a word. Facing her benefactor, she could only bite the bullet and continue the conversation, "Mr. Chen, how old are you this year?"

Chen Shu thought for a moment, and he didn't know what to say about his age. After the entire time travel, his body had changed, so he had no idea how to calculate his age.

Since he couldn't say he wasn't even a year old yet, Chen Shu could only use his original age from the original world, "Twenty this year."

Qin's mother nodded, just as she was thinking of how to change the subject, when Chen Shu suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed solemnly on the doorway, as if something extremely terrifying was about to arrive...

Qin Yueguan was also startled by Chen Shu's sudden action and subconsciously looked towards the door.

Outside the door, a beam of Buddhist light suddenly shone brightly, then quickly went out...

A man wearing a red cloak walked into the house...

He slowly removed the hood from his cloak, revealing a serious middle-aged face.
