Chapter 31: Unconscious

"Zhener, is everything going smoothly?" the butler asked casually, as their relationship had become quite informal after working together for three or four days.

"Yes, butler," she replied, returning her focus to her work.

7:00 a.m.

Meanwhile, Zhou Wen, who was sleeping, awoke to his alarm. He took a leisurely walk to shake off his sleepiness.

After some time, he completed his morning tasks and began to wonder, "It's Sunday today. Why haven't I seen the young master yet? Am I overthinking this? Let me ask the skeleton."

He approached the skeleton and inquired, "Hey, where is the young master?"

The skeleton, hearing the question, replied, "The young master went outside for a rank upgrade this morning."

"Oh," Zhou Wen responded before becoming occupied with security inspections around the villa.

Wang Feng's House

7:30 a.m.

In another part of town, Wang Feng, still in his room, heard a voice and groggily replied, "Mom, please let me sleep a bit longer."

In response, his mother called from the kitchen, "Fenger, wake up! The instructor will arrive in half an hour."

Wang Feng abruptly woke up, checked the time on his bedside table, which read 7:30 a.m.

His drowsiness vanished as he thought, "Oh no, the instructor is coming. I overslept again. Well, this will be the last time."

However, his resolve quickly waned, replaced by drowsiness.

He mumbled, "This is the last day. Let's just sleep for 20 more minutes; 10 minutes is enough to prepare for training," and drifted back to sleep.

Su Yanran's Villa

In the Training Ground

In the villa's training ground, a girl was engaged in rigorous training, using an ice spell to spar with a woman.

Her training attire was drenched in sweat from their prolonged session.

After some time, the woman suggested, "Miss, let's take a break. Your body needs rest."

"Alright," the girl replied, collapsing onto the ground, panting heavily.

"I've trained many girls before, but you're truly exceptional," the woman praised, taken aback by the girl's dedication.

Su Yanran was surprised by the unexpected compliment and asked, "In what way?"

The mentor paused, considering her response, and then said, "You possess not only resilience and a strong will, but also the determination to endure this demanding training, which is quite unusual for someone your age."

Su Yanran pondered for a moment and simply stated, "I just want to become strong."

Her mentor was at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond to her cryptic statement.

She sighed and suggested, "Miss, we've been training since 6:00 a.m. Let's take a cold bath to soothe our sore muscles."

"That sounds like a good idea. We can resume training after the cold bath," Su Yanran agreed, heading off to prepare for their refreshing bath.

Sam's Villa

9:00 a.m.

Having completed his security inspection of the villa, Zhou Wen enjoyed his breakfast before making his way to the skeleton, who had been eagerly awaiting the young master's return for several hours.

Upon reaching the young master's room and opening the gate slightly to get a view of the interior, Zhou Wen was shocked to find the young master lying unconscious on the floor.

He urgently shouted, "Hey, come here!"

His cry attracted a commotion within the villa, and all the key members, including the skeleton, the head of security, and the head maid, gathered in the young master's room to assess his condition.

"What happened to the young master?" they all asked anxiously at the same time.

"Hey! Why are you asking like that? I have no knowledge of what happened, I just happened to see the young master lying on the ground floor of the room," Zhou Wen replied anxiously.

He quickly turned to the house doctor and said, "Please properly check the young master's body."

"Okay," the doctor replied and immediately got to work.

After examining the young master's condition, the doctor let out a relieved sigh and said happily, "There's nothing to worry about, the young master is just going through the normal process of a rank upgrade."

Zhou Wen, hearing the doctor's reply, also let out a sigh of relief and said, "I had thought about that possibility, but you never know what could happen, which is why I was anxious when I saw the young master."

Everyone else also let out a collective sigh of relief and said, "Thank God nothing happened."

"Okay, let's inform the butler about this," Zhou Wen said happily as he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

…..

In the industrial office...

The butler, who was inspecting some materials in the industry and suggesting some changes to Zhu Zhen, suddenly heard his phone ring.

He excused himself, telling Zhu Zhen that he would inform her of all the details later, and moved to a quiet spot to answer the call.
