Chapter 285 Reciprocity
Caesar had also heard his grandson vaguely mention that Achen was quite talented, but he hadn't gone into details.
Modi didn't say anything, and he didn't want to pry too much into the details, for fear that Modi would think he only cared about the baby's aptitude and not about the baby himself.
Hua Yang brought it up today, so he took the opportunity to satisfy his curiosity. Even if Mo Di found out, he wouldn't misunderstand him.
Unexpectedly, Ah Chen gave him such a huge surprise!
After the initial excitement subsided, Hua Yang said with a serious expression, "Old friend, this matter must be kept strictly confidential, otherwise the consequences will be dire!"
"Yes, everyone here today is one of our own. Ah Chen hasn't been known as a genius in the past six years, which shows that Miss Zuo has taken precautions against this."
"I believe this news will remain a secret forever, until Achen breaks through to the sixth rank or higher and can no longer hide it," said Caesar Lann.
The investigators are only responsible for testing whether Zuo Chen, a follower of the Lan Dun family, has reached the fourth level of supernatural ability. As for the young master himself, the investigators are not qualified to test him.
Furthermore, investigators must strictly keep all information about the young master confidential; otherwise, if the information is leaked and the young master is assassinated, the investigators will bear full responsibility.
Anyone who can work as an administrator in a place like the central area knows what's important and what's not.
Once the news leaks out of their mouths, their resignations will only be a facade; their lives will be in danger afterwards.
“I didn’t know Achen was coming today, so I couldn’t prepare a gift in advance. You can have this little thing to play with.” Huayang said, taking a gray-brown bracelet off his wrist and handing it to Achen.
Ah Chen looked at Caesar, who nodded to him and said, "Since it was given by Master Hua, you can take it."
Ah Chen glanced at Zuo Shan again, and seeing that she nodded to him, he carefully took the bracelet and bowed to Hua Yang to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Master Hua!"
Caesar reached out and rubbed the bracelet, and the gray-brown beads turned into a black pearl necklace.
He personally put the necklace around Achen's neck. Strangely, the transformed necklace seemed to be able to adjust its length automatically, and it fit him perfectly.
Ah Chen's eyes lit up at this: "Great-grandfather, what kind of superpower is that?"
"Haha, your great-grandfather also happened to awaken a dual-elemental ability. This skill is called mimicry, and it's permanent!"
The bracelet that your great-grandfather Hua gave you has beads made of a special material called "Floating Cloud Stone".
The floating cloud stone has the effect of concealing supernatural abilities. Just one floating cloud bead is enough to hide your supernatural ability level. This bracelet has eight floating cloud beads in total. When they are combined, they can completely isolate all your aura.
With it, no one can detect your presence or track your movements.
This string of floating cloud beads is also a high-level magic artifact. The craftsman has imbued it with powerful defensive capabilities; once the defensive barrier is activated, it can withstand a full-force attack from an eighth-tier expert.
After hearing Caesar's explanation, Zuo Shan finally understood how precious this bracelet was!
Wanting to decline, he saw Hua Yang smiling and saying, "It's an honor to receive a gift from an elder. Don't feel guilty about it. If Caesar has anything good here in the future, I'll definitely come and snatch it without hesitation."
That being said, the favor owed was still too great. Before Zuo Shan could figure out how to repay it, Hua Yang said again:
"Your pastries are delicious, and the packaging is beautiful too. Consider this a return gift."
"Grandpa Hua, I still have many delicious pastries to make. Please taste them when I make them in the future," Zuo Shan readily agreed.
"Haha! It seems this little girl understands this old man's heart very well. I'll just wait and see!" Hua Yang laughed with satisfaction.
His words were actually a hint to Zuo Shan that he could send him a few more boxes of beautifully packaged and delicious snacks in the future.
After all, he's quite old, so it wouldn't be right for him to act like a child and ask someone for it directly. But since he gave her such an expensive cloud bead bracelet first, the little girl will surely reciprocate, right?
Hua Yang was laughing happily when he heard a familiar voice: "Grandpa Hua, what's making you laugh so loudly?"
Hearing the sound, everyone looked towards the living room door and saw a travel-worn young man striding over.
"Modi, you brat, didn't you say you wouldn't be back for at least three days?" Caesar asked, his face beaming with delight.
