Chapter 723
Gu Mengmeng felt that since Beast Deity actually liked this type of father-daughter role-playing, then she would go along with it. Just take it that she had lacked paternal love while growing up.
“Since father already knows I am coming back, he must also know the reason?” Gu Mengmeng tilted her head with a smile.
The Beast Deity maintained his benevolent expression and stroked his chin. “Do you want to watch television together?”
Gu Mengmeng raised her brows, looking very much like a rebellious teenage girl.
The Beast Deity didn’t get angry but just grinned. He added mildly. “The movie ‘Tyrant Senior Who Passed Through Time Fell In Love With Me’ starring Snake.”
Gu Mengmeng’s face instantly changed and she gave a sweet smile. “Alright.”
The Beast Deity and Gu Mengmeng sat down there and then. With a wave, the white fog dissipated to reveal a window. It looked like a family-own theater.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t bother to consider whether this was advanced technology or metaphysics. She just focused on finding Snake within the screen.
An ancient European castle having endured the sands of time. The birth of a child bringing hopes of the future for a family.
However, this child was very strange. Right from the moment of birth, he never cried.
His parents were both blue-eyed but his own pupils were green. He was obviously a newborn infant, but bore a foreboding presence.
His grandfather stared at the child for a long while before nodding with gratification. “Our family’s future fortunes will all be linked to this child.”
One sentence cemented this child’s status within the family.
Six years old. The child sat before a computer, his short fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard. It was 2.59pm and he pressed the enter key. Far away, the shares of a company listed on the stock exchange was attacked without warning and without any chance of retaliation.
The child jumped down from the computer table and looked at his shocked father. He was looking up at him, but his presence was still far more dominating. His tiny face was expressionless as he commanded. “I have completed the buyout that you wanted. So go and change my name to Snake.”
Without waiting for his father to reply, he turned and left with his hands crossed behind his back.
The father was dumbstruck for a second after hearing the longest sentence his son had spoken to him since his birth. He watched his son’s tiny back profile. Only then, did the father slowly reply with an “Okay”.
Eight years old. Snake had already become the head of the family. He seldom bothered himself with the more trivia matters, but his word was final. No one in the family dared to go against any of his express wishes.
This was because, as proven in countless past incidents, he was always right.
Whether it was in the face of danger or opportunity, his instincts were always sharp and his judgment always accurate.
And because of him, an old-money family which had fallen through the years had suddenly risen up again. The past few years saw them regaining their former glory days.
As a result, kidnappers had their eye on this mere, eight-year-old kid.
A car accident with the driver dead on the spot, and Snake missing.
The family anxiously mobilized a search party, but to no avail.
By the time the police were forced to the brink of despair, Snake returned home wearing a tidy western suit and spotless leather shoes. His gait was steady and robust.
No one knew what happened that day and no one knew where those kidnappers had gone. Some time after, news spread that the abandoned factory where Snake was imprisoned had been overrun with snakes. The situation was so bad that even professional snake catchers dared not take a single step in.
