Chapter 73 That“s the spiri

All heads snapped towards Yu Chen the moment they heard Gu Wei’s outrageous remark. But then, that very instant they turned, what they saw was Gu Wei being smacked on the face, as if Yu Chen seemed to have subconsciously face palmed the noisy man before him for daring to block his view.

Seeing this, the men could only press their lips tight, trying their best not to burst into laughter.

Yu Chen’s palm stayed on Gu Wei’s face while he was still dazed, looking at the empty road, as if he had completely forgotten that a certain thing before him wasn’t a block of wood, but actually a human being.

"Boss, forgive me, I didn’t mean what I said. I was just kidding." Gu Wei cried without tears. He couldn’t even move for fear that the man might decide to unleash his divine fury upon him.

But to his surprise, Yu Chen’s hand suddenly retracted his hand from Gu Wei’s face and then he just turned around and walked towards his house, leaving Gu Wei rooted on the ground watching his back, blinking.

"Leader, how does it feel to be smacked right on the face?" Jiang Min was grinning as he spoke but Gu Wei simply scowled at him and then he smirked, ignoring the young man as he raised his phone. And then as though nothing had happened, he watched the video he took and his face sparkled like he had just obtained a thousand-year-old treasure he could brag about to the world.

"Ha.ha.ha! Perfect!! As expected with me, the great historian. Everyone, praise me! Hahaha." He laughed out loud and sweat drops could only fall from the other men’s forehead. However, no matter how they wanted to ignore this certain species whom they couldn’t even figure out what planet he really belonged to, they all just couldn’t hide their curiosity. After all, this was about their big boss who was also starting to act... well, differently.

Actually, the word ’differently’ was absolutely the safest word they could use to describe the change that was happening to their boss. No one would dare say what they really were thinking – that they actually thought that their big boss was evolving to an entirely different creature from what he used to be just some few days ago, almost like a caterpillar blossoming into a butterfly.

"Then let us see it too, great historian." One of the curious men finally spoke as they approach Gu Wei. But the man just gave them a crooked smile.

"Heh! No, no, no. This kind of treasure can’t be seen by just anyone. I could sell this and become a millionaire overnight you see? But since you guys are my fellow loyal men, I will let you see it for free. Just say the words ’long live Gu Wei the legendary historian!’ first."

Upon hearing him, the men all halted and looked at Gu Wei like he was someone mentally ill, and then without a word, they all, except Jiang Min, returned to their posts.

Gu Wei: "Heh! You guys actually treasures your egos more than this one in a million treasure?! Tsk, you will regret that decision for the rest of your lives!"

Everyone: ". . ."

The god of silence seemed to have passed by. No one even looked at Gu Wei, causing the ignored man to narrow his eyes.

"Oh, so you guys dare to ignored your superior, huh." In an instant, the men’s head snapped towards him. No matter what kind of strange species this Gu Wei was, they all acknowledged him and respected him as their leader. It was not only because he was one of the strongest, but actually because no one, other than him was more fitted for that position. He was more than capable at being a strong leader once the serious business started and and everyone trusted himm with their lives. But the moment business was over, everything – his coolness, his strong, serious and tough demeanor disappeared without a trace. And then he will became like this – a completely, outrageously out of this world kind of species.

"Of course not cap, we already witnessed the scene before our very eyes so..." One of the men was forced to speak, or else, they might really suffer to the extreme during their next workout.

"Oh, that is quite a good point you raise, there... Oh well, never mind."

Just like that, the authority in his voice disappeared. It was such a relief for the men that Gu Wei was so easy to please and that it was even easier to make him happy as long as they weren’t out on a mission.

The men then relaxed, but then, a certain young man, the only one who could tolerate Gu Wei’s antics spoke.

"Long live Gu Wei the legendary historian." Jiang Min, the 18-year-old hacker, said, indicating that he still wanted to watch the video.

Of course, this made Gu Wei’s ears go big but he didn’t show the video right away. He leaned in on the young man and whispered at him with a smug look.

"Young man, why is your voice too monotonous today?"

"My tone is always like this though."

"Oh, is that so? Maybe because it’s softer than usual?"

Jiang Min sighed, looking at him with surrender in his eyes. "Long live Gu Wei the legendary historian!" he yelled.

"Good. Because you are such a good young man. I’ll let you see my confidential documentary as a bunos."

When the other men heard Gu Wei’s last sentence, curiosity flickered in their eyes again.

...

The day passed by and it soon became time for Yu Chen to go and pick up the twins. A guard went inside the school and then brought out the two little buns towards the black car which was waiting across the street.

As soon as they saw Yu Chen, the twins greeted him with wide smile.

"How was school?" Yu Chen asked once the car accelerated off.

"It’s cool. By the way daddy, the teacher said she needs to speak with you and mommy tomorrow. I think it’s about the advance classes."

As soon as Yu Chen heard him, he asked the two about their lessons for the day. When Little Ran showed him the schoolwork their teachers gave him to work on, Yu Chen was finally 100% sure that the two especially Ranran were geniuses. He had already observed it the first time he met them, and his hunch about the level of their IQ was on point. It was obvious that the teachers in their school seemed to be struggling with what to teach them, and this made Yu Chen think that it might be better for the two to attend a school that would nurture the level of their intelligence.

"Okay, we’ll tell your mother about that when she comes home." Yu Chen then said and as the trip goes on, as always, the energetic Little Rui continued talking, while Little Ran and Yu Chen remained silent as they both listened to him.

"And daddy, I was also a bit mad today."

"Why?"

"Because there’s this classmate of ours that is very unreasonable. Some girls were picking on his younger sister but he didn’t even do a thing to help her, until it came to the point where his sister was hurt. They said, some kids bullied her. I am so mad. She’s his younger sister, he should have protected her at all cost right, daddy?"

"That’s right. It’s the responsibility of the older brother to take care of his younger sibling."

"That’s what I said to him. Sigh... when me and Ranran get to finally have our baby sister, we swear to protect her, and we will never let anyone hurt her, right? Ranran?"

Little Ran didn’t hesitate to nod his agreement.

Seeing their determined and willful expressions, Yu Chen was amused and he ruffled the kids head. "That’s the spirit." He said. His voice sounded like he was very proud.

However, the words that left little Rui’s mouth next made Yu Chen’s hands which were on the kids’ head froze.

"Daddy, when will you and mommy give us a baby sister?"
