Chapter 527 - Hay Fever
Chapter 527: Hay Fever
“Mr. Louis, I have good news and bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear first?”
“Good news.”
“I’ve thought of a solution,” Chen Zhao said with a smile.
“Really?” Hearing Chen Zhao’s words, Louis jumped up in excitement.
“Sit down. Don’t be so excited yet.”
“What’s the bad news?” Louis asked, calming down.
“You might have another brother,” Chen Zhao said.
“What do you mean?”
Chen Zhao looked at Louis’ arm. “Are you still hiding? You want me to beat you up again?”
Louis felt fear from his right arm again. Just then, his arm began to move toward the exit wildly, as if it was trying to escape.
Chen Zhao had frightened it.
Suddenly, an enormous bear appeared before Louis.
“Ah! Run!” Louis wanted to run away.
But his right arm continued to pull him forward. The bear was right in front of them.
Suddenly, his arm turned black and enlarged. It became a humanoid and struck at Princess.
Slap—
Princess slapped Louis’ arm with her claw and Louis flew back.
She could feel malicious intent from the right arm. She would not allow a stranger to do whatever he wanted.
“Mr. Chen… Help me! There’s a bear…”
Chen Zhao stood still and stared at Louis.
In his fear, Louis ran back to Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao grabbed his right arm. “Do you want me to tear you off?”
Louis felt greater horror coming from his arm. Nevertheless, the arm finally calmed down and stopped controlling his body.
“Look, it’s not moving anymore.”
“Mr. Chen, what’s happening? What’s that bear?”
“She’s Princess, my pet.”
Louis stared at Princess and swallowed some saliva.
He had never seen such a huge bear before.
He felt that the bear could easily swallow half of his body in one bite.
“Your arm has developed its own awareness long ago. It has been trying to corrode your body,” Chen Zhao said.
“What?”
“You have two choices: cut it off once and for all, or keep it.”
“Are there no other ways?”
“I told you that it has a different lineage from you. Ultimately, you’re two different individuals.”
“What can I do other than cutting it off?”
“Talk to it.”
“How?”
“It can understand you. As for what you say, it’s your business.”
Looking at his arm, Louis seemed to be very hesitant.
He looked around for a while.
After a few minutes, he finally said, “Mr Chen said that you’re my brother. Fine, whatever you are, I would like to talk with you. What do you think?”
The right arm moved up and down. As an outsider, Chen Zhao had no idea what the arm meant.
But Louis could feel its presence.
Louis continued, “I don’t want to cut you off. I don’t want to become disabled, after all.”
“But if you still want to corrode me and control my body, I’ll ask Mr. Chen to cut you off entirely. I believe you know that he has the ability to do so.”
The right arm started to tremble.
Clearly, it knew how powerful Chen Zhao was.
“So unless I need it, stop controlling my right arm by force. That is, you have to listen to me, alright?”
Suddenly, Louis felt his arm’s awareness.
“What can I get?”
“At least you won’t be killed,” Louis said. “Also, even if you do manage to occupy my body, you won’t be able to enjoy it. Mr. Chen will definitely find you and kill you.”
Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. I’m not that lame, unless you pay me.
Aren’t you a famous rich man? Why aren’t you realistic and talking about money?
Chen Zhao looked at Louis with some contempt.
He had no idea that Louis thought there was no way money could attract Chen Zhao.
“Have a good conversation with it. If you still can’t solve the problem, come here and I’ll amputate your arm.”
Louis’ right arm shivered. It was clearly extremely scared of Chen Zhao.
“Mr. Chen, do you think I should give it a name? It’s my brother, after all.”
Chen Zhao realized that while Louis was an accomplished businessman, he was somewhat foolish in real life.
He also seemed to be interested in supernatural things.
For example, he employed the first evil spirit that he met.
Now he had a non-human brother, and he wanted to give it a name.
“Up to you.” They seemed to have had a nice agreement. Chen Zhao did not want to interfere with their business.
“How about Little Black?”
“Mr. Louis, don’t you think that name is too vulgar?”
“Little Black it is.”
“Are you even listening to me?”
“Mr. Chen, you have so many pets.”
“Mr. Louis, I won’t be asking you to stay for lunch.”
With a dark look, Chen Zhao chased Louis out.
Then, he continued to investigate the key. Like the metallic box, the key was invisible to others.
Were the two related?
Chen Zhao took the metallic box and placed the key before the box.
Nothing happened. They seemed to be unrelated.
Forget it.
Chen Zhao inspected the two for a long while but did not discover any relation.
Apart from being invisible to others, the two objects had nothing in common.
Achoo!
Chen Zhao rubbed his nose, which felt rather itchy.
It seemed like hay fever, an allergy.
Although Chen Zhao was significantly stronger than a normal person, he was still not immune to hay fever.
Nevertheless, he did not have any serious symptoms. It was only an itchy nose and occasional sneezing.
It was spring and flowers were blooming, including many wildflowers in the mountains.
Chen Zhao took some allergy medicine, but the symptoms did not improve.
In the evening, Fali came back, and Chen Zhao’s symptoms worsened.
“Chen, are you ill?”
“No, just hay fever.”
“Are you allergic to pollen?” Fali was surprised.
After all, it was the first time she saw Chen Zhao ill since they met.
She almost thought that Chen Zhao would never fall ill.
Of course, allergy was different from diseases.
Chen Zhao was also helpless. It was the first time he had hay fever.
He did not even know that he was allergic.
Achoo!
During dinner, Chen Zhao could not control himself and sneezed to the side.
In the end, the chair beside him was blasted into pieces.
Fali stared at Chen Zhao for a while and was totally speechless.
Just then, Chen Zhao received a call from Sienna.
“Chen, are you free?”
