CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 33: THE CONVOY RETURNS, FATHER SU AS IF IN A DREAM

Ninth District, Outer City, Changsheng Cleaning Company.

Slaughterhouse.

On the super-heavy trucks, thick steel cables bind the various odd-shaped fierce beast corpses.

Even.

Some of them are not yet completely dead, their terrifying bloodied mouths still opening and closing.

The fierce beast corpses pile up like mountains.

In addition to the June weather, the sun is scorching, and the pungent smell of blood mixed with various unknown bodily fluids.

Despite wearing protective gear, many experienced workers find it hard to endure, often having to retreat to the shade for rest.

As ordinary people, even with various high-tech equipment, facing these dead beasts requires a lot of effort.

Su Peidong, taking a break, suddenly remembered his son who had been in the wilderness for some time.

A trace of worry rose on his face; his son has to face alive fierce beasts, even some powerful Transcendents could easily stumble if not careful.

If he were a Transcendent too, his son wouldn’t have had to take so many detours.

"Old Su, thinking about your son again?"

The coworker beside him saw Su Peidong’s expression and instantly guessed what was on his mind.

"I tell you, relax, Transcendents are beings with great powers that can traverse heaven and earth."

"Look at these beasts, no matter how fierce, aren’t they hunted by Transcendents? You should just prepare to enjoy life."

Su Peidong gave a bitter smile: "Sigh, as parents, we don’t dare to wish for too much; just hoping for our children to be safe is enough."

"That’s true."

"Your Xiaoqi is a bit impatient."

"Years ago, when Old Wang’s son became a Transcendent, didn’t he obediently join a big corporation? Only after gaining recognition and enhancing his strength did he dare venture into the wilderness."

"Yes, Old Wang was lucky to have such a promising son, ensuring an easy life for the rest of his days."

...

Just as a group of people were chatting away, a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair and polished shoes walked over, followed by two steady-paced, burly bodyguards.

They weren’t wearing protective suits or any protective gear.

Not because they weren’t worried about contamination.

But because their exposure to the beasts’ corpses was limited.

More importantly.

To distinguish themselves from these ordinary low-level employees.

"Manager Yue is here..."

An observant coworker noticed and quietly reminded the others.

Su Peidong quickly returned to his workstation with everyone else.

Yue Zhenghao saw Su Peidong in the crowd and couldn’t help but frown: "Old Su, you’re a senior employee in the company, you shouldn’t lead in slacking off, it sets a bad example."

"How about this, set an example by working a bit harder today and slaughter three more beasts, lead everyone to finish all the cargo."

"The company’s profits aren’t great now, but I’ll talk to the boss about raising benefits later."

Hearing this.

Su Peidong’s hands couldn’t help but tremble, slaughtering three more beasts would mean working till midnight.

The key point is.

He doesn’t mind working harder, but others will certainly complain about him for it.

Watching them dare not speak out in anger, Yue Zhenghao felt great, his eyes mocking as he patted Su Peidong on the shoulder.

"Old Su, you know, in the company, I value you the most."

"By the way."

"I heard your son is venturing into the wilderness?"

"How about this, if he sells the beasts he hunted to the company, I’ll personally see to it that the price is increased by fifty percent!"

Back then.

When Su Qi was excelling in his studies, Yue Zhenghao showed a lot of favor to Su Peidong and even had a very humble attitude.

But upon discovering that Su Qi awakened trashy abilities, only reaching a pitiful Awakening Level One Realm.

His attitude made a complete 360-degree turn.

Recalling these years, being a manager, yet having to pander humbly to a subordinate employee, the extreme shame almost made him explode.

As expected.

A family from an ordinary background, even if awakened to be a Transcendent, is still the lowest of the low among Transcendents!

So, he targeted Su Peidong through various means, seemingly only this way could he wash away the past humiliation.

As for raising the purchase price by fifty percent.

Ha ha.

It was merely to spite Su Peidong.

Yue Zhenghao enjoyed mocking him while Su Peidong still had to show gratitude!

Smugly in control.

At this moment, a grand convoy of super-heavy trucks drove in.

Seeing the fierce beasts on the trucks, Yue Zhenghao couldn’t help but gasp, losing the mood to mock Su Peidong, loudly snapping, "The supply point convoy is back, what are you all standing around for?"

"Hurry up and help unload!"

He tiptoed, staring at the never-ending convoy, his eyes nearly blazing.

Oh my.

A bountiful harvest!

The fierce beasts on those super-heavy trucks were menacing, indicating their high grade!

When the convoy arrived at the designated unloading area, Zhou Ming, who was responsible for escorting, just stepped out.

Yue Zhenghao eagerly approached with a smile: "Master Zhou, you’ve worked hard, returning with such a bountiful haul must have required great effort!"

Zhou Ming didn’t even glance at him, responding indifferently, "Not bad."

Yue Zhenghao wasn’t upset, Zhou Ming, a powerful Transcendent, a central figure in the company, wasn’t someone a mere manager like him could easily engage with.

A worker who came along saw Su Peidong helping with the unloading.

Quickly walked over, patted his shoulder: "Old Su, there’s no need for you to handle this personally, guess who killed these beasts?"

Su Peidong looked at the familiar coworker, puzzled.

Who killed these beasts, and what did it have to do with whether he helped unload?

The worker, with pride, scanned his finger across, excitedly: "All these beasts from the convoy are your son’s trophies!"

Upon hearing this.

A pin drop could be heard.

The smile froze on Yue Zhenghao’s face.

Even Su Peidong’s eyes widened: "That’s impossible! My boy just awakened not long ago, he’s just a Support Element Transcendent, how...how could he hunt so many beasts!?"

He nervously glanced at Zhou Ming, believing the coworker was teasing him.

Yet, Zhou Ming confirmed that this employee was Su Qi’s father, and his expression turned enthusiastic.

"You’re Su Qi’s father?"

"He’s right, these beasts are indeed Su Qi’s trophies."

With Zhou Ming’s confirmation, everyone was astonished, the entire slaughterhouse suddenly bursting into commotion.

One by one, eyes filled with excitement approached.

"Damn, Old Su, silently your son’s become so impressive, why are you still hanging around with us instead of enjoying a good life at home."

"Old Su, that’s not fair, you must throw a feast and let everyone celebrate."

...

In an instant.

Su Peidong only felt the world spinning, blankly staring at this seemingly unreal scenario.

As if in a dream.

Besides him, the one equally incredulous was Yue Zhenghao.

He was as pale as a sheet, unsure where to place his hands.

Suddenly.

Someone carelessly mentioned: "Our Manager Yue just promised that any beast hunted by Old Su’s son, he’d raise the purchase price by fifty percent, generous indeed!"

Upon hearing this.

Zhou Ming’s expression immediately turned fiercely angry, scanning with cold and sharp eyes.

Raising the purchase price by fifty percent!?

This wasn’t just a wasted trip, it meant the company directly losing billions!

How dare he!

Zhou Ming quickly understood the whole story, then coldly said: "Looks like our Manager Yue is indeed generous, I will truthfully report this to the boss."

Thud!

The trembling Yue Zhenghao immediately collapsed onto the ground.
