Chapter 249: The Head of the Chaebol Family



Tu Ran touched her nose in a daze and got blood on the back of her hand.

She looked up and saw that Zero had called a waiter up and handed her a wet towel, a pill and a cup of hot water.

"Quick hemostatic medicine." Ling said.

Tu Ran took the towel and refused the pills.

She had a "Vajra body" and the bleeding stopped quickly. After wiping the blood off her face and hands, Tu Ran said, "Superpower recognition also has physical limitations. I just recognized too many superpowers and my body's energy consumption has reached its limit. I can't read anymore."

She had never met so many people with special powers at once before. She only recognized one or two people occasionally and had never felt any physical discomfort, so she always thought that this special power had no physical limitations.

She had just watched so much without any scruples, and her "King Kong body" could not replenish the energy she had lost, which led to her nosebleed. This was another symptom besides exhaustion and fainting.

"Can you control the switch for superpower recognition?"

Tu Ran smiled bitterly, "No."

"But it doesn't matter. Superpower recognition only works when I'm staring at someone with superpowers. I just need to stare at people without superpowers."

"Well, you've seen enough, take a rest."

The line was below zero, but the character introduction on her eyepiece was not removed, so Tu Ran's gaze wandered over the people she had observed before.

Those present now are all powerful people in the Federation, but the people at the top of the Federation’s pyramid have not yet appeared.

For example, the people in power of the three major chaebol families.

All the important figures made their final appearances. At nearly eight o'clock, Tu Ran finally saw the Xie family, one of the three major chaebols, enter the scene.

She guessed that the Xie family members were probably like Stefano Wells, and had not yet taken the inner elixir, so she looked at them openly.

The patriarch of the Xie family walked in the front. He was a little overweight, but his facial features still showed how handsome he was when he was young. He smiled and nodded to others, and was unexpectedly easy-going, which was completely different from the image Tu Ran had imagined.

Xie Xu always had a sour face as if the Federation owed him 10 billion yuan, and Xie Zhao was always serious. She thought that everyone in their Xie family was like this, but she didn't expect that their father was completely the opposite of them.

Tu Ran confirmed the information on the eyepiece again to make sure she had not recognized the wrong person. It was Xie Xieao, the head of the Xie family.

Next to Xie Xieao, a middle-aged lady was holding his arm. The lady was wearing a silver dress, which was luxurious yet low-key, luxurious yet elegant and dignified.

She is Xie Xie'ao's wife, Wu Yun.

Behind the two of them followed Xie Xu, Xie Zhao, and a person Tu Ran had never seen before, who looked somewhat like the patriarch of the Xie family.

The information on the eyepiece shows that his name is Xie Heng, the eldest son of the Xie family, his mother is Wu Yun. The Wu family is also one of the top ten chaebol families, and Wu Yun is the eldest daughter of the Wu family. Xie Heng is naturally the next head of the Xie family.

Xie Zhao ranks second. His mother is also the eldest daughter of a chaebol family. However, this chaebol family is far less powerful than the Wu family behind Xie Heng's mother, so he has no chance of becoming the next head of the Xie family.

Xie Xu ranked third. His mother came from an ordinary citizen family in the Federation. She was very smart and was admitted to the top university in the Federation through her own efforts. Later, she became the dean of the research institute and was noticed by Xie Xieao. She died three years after giving birth to Xie Xu. The cause of death is unknown.

Xie Xu's intelligence is most likely inherited from his mother. Without the power of his mother's family, Xie Xu would not be able to inherit the Xie family's residence. To ask why Xie Xieao has three wives in a monogamous federation, we have to once again emphasize the ineffectiveness of federal laws against chaebols.

They can have as many wives as they want, and they are all legal. For example, the previous head of the Pang family had as many as eleven wives.

The Supervisory Department turned a blind eye to this situation. The vast majority of ordinary citizens had no contact with the chaebols, did not understand these situations and would not say much. The few who knew about the situation did not dare to gossip about it, and even the media did not dare to say much.

After the Xie family members came in, the people who were originally scattered at the banquet all swarmed over to greet them and surrounded them.

Xie Xieao and his wife, as well as Xie Heng and Xie Zhao, handled this situation calmly, while Xie Xu walked out of the crowd with an expressionless face and sat down in a sparsely populated place.

Perhaps because they knew that he was a loner, or perhaps because they understood that he had no competitiveness for the position of patriarch, no one came forward to disturb him. He just sat there alone in silence from beginning to end.

Tu Ran stood on the third floor fully armed and looked at him for a long time. Only after making sure that he had read all the information about him on the eyepiece did he retract his gaze and look towards the entrance again.

The Wells family arrived.

Compared to the lively family of five of the Xie family, the head of the Wells family was alone, with a white-haired old man beside him, who was Andre.

Stefano Wells had just inherited the family business and was still very young. His father was devoted to only one woman, Stephen's mother, and he was the only child, so it was natural for him to inherit the family business.

After Stefano came in, many people gathered around him. Stefano had a cold face and responded indifferently to everyone. He was neither too close nor too rude. Andre, who followed him, was responsible for saying some polite words.

His gaze drifted towards the third floor where Tu Ran was.

The two people's eyes met in mid-air, and Tu Ran looked away expressionlessly, looking elsewhere, as if she didn't know him.

The people from the main family of the Pang family followed closely behind Stephano.

The Pang family is a large one, with both sons and daughters, and his wife alone has three children.

Tu Ran looked at them one by one, and none of them had special powers.

As Xie Xu said, these people would not risk their lives to eat the inner elixir.

Now that everyone was present, the banquet was about to begin. Although it started more than an hour late, no one had any objections. After all, the three groups that arrived last were not to be provoked.

Tu Ran stood straight with her gun in her hand, almost blending into the railing on the third floor. No one noticed her. She was just an ordinary guard, doing her duty to protect the safety of the banquet.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that."

Downstairs, a waiter accidentally spilled a glass of wine all over Stefano's suit. The waiter was so scared that he trembled and hurriedly helped Stefano wipe the wine stains.

Those who wanted to toast Stefano were stunned.

The displeasure on Stephano's face was obvious, and he pushed the waiter's hand away, "Take me to change clothes."

"Yes, this way please." The waiter nodded and led Stephano to the door.
