Chapter 39: Your Father Was Shot

Of the ten batches of medicinal herbs which he had collected, Luan had no flaws among them. This was a very good achievement, considering that he was rusty in the practice of creating low-level pills. He had made 35 Base Building Pills, but only 10 were of a higher grade. 5 of them were Mid-grade and 10 were High grade.

Tidying up the mess, then taking another shower, Luan put on a set of gray casual clothes. Leaving the room, he went down the stairs and saw his mother and sister sitting on the sofa in the living room. Ingrid and Cristina were also there with them.

"Good Morning," Luan greeted them as soon as he approached.

"Are you hungry? There is bread on the table and coffee in the pitcher," Looking at Luan, Maira said.

"Okay." He wanted to talk about the pills he created and also teach his mother and sister how to cultivate them, but on second thought, he decided to eat some first.

Luan called the four girls into the training room and said, "Mother, Catharina, I made pills that will help you improve your physique and I will also teach you a technique to cultivate your bodies."

"Luan, I don't want to brag, but you know that I get tired even just carrying my shopping bags..."

"And is that something to brag about?" Luan snorted playfully and said, knowing what she meant, "As long as you follow what I say, even if you are weak now, I will help you become so strong that even a professional fighter will not be able to defeat you."

"Oh, is that serious? Why do I find it hard to believe that?" Putting her hand on her chin, Catharina gave a sideways look and said suspiciously.

"I see... Well, since you doubt your brother here so much, maybe I shouldn't help you?" Luan teased, casting an arrogant look.

In an instant, at the speed of light, Catharina got up from where she was sitting. Arriving in front of Luan, she said in a downcast manner, "I was just kidding, brother. You know I love you, right?" She spoke flattery at the end, and kissed Luan on the cheek *Mwah~*

"Mm, okay, but there won't be a next time," Luan said playfully.

Maira, seeing this, smiled. She knew both her daughter and her son and knew that one would like to provoke the other and make whoever was close think that they were fighting.

"Yes, brother, I was just kidding before." Catharina pulled back a little and showed her tongue and smiled.

"Okay, enough joking around." Luan became serious and looked at his mother and sister and said, "I will teach you both the basic technique to train your body. Until it is 5 times stronger, it is this technique that you will be using. In addition, I intend to create a formation in this room and remove all these training equipment, as they will become useless. Now, enough talk... Both of you stay in the center of the room and I will show you some movements I want you to learn."

The technique that Luan started to teach to his mother and sister was the same as he taught to Cristina. It was a basic body technique, but it helped create a solid foundation. In addition, he provided them the Superior Grade Base Building Pill.

As his mother and sister were going to start training now, he had no way of calculating how long it would take them to get 5 times stronger than an ordinary man. But he knew it wouldn't take more than a week.

Almost 2 hours later, Luan taught his mother and sister the 9 movements, and then he taught them the technique. After training for two hours, the mother and daughter pair got tired and started to meditate while reciting the technique. As for the pill, Luan said it was better for them to get used to the technique first, and then, tomorrow, they could take the Base Building Pill.

The best body technique that was of greatest benefit to the women that Luan had with him was the one he gave to Ingrid. Now, he was also teaching it to Cristina. It was a total of 36 movements, so it took more time before Cristina was able to memorize the movements. She learned it fairly easily, having seen Ingrid use it before.

Ingrid swallowed a Base Building Pill after finishing the technique's movements and was sitting with her legs crossed, starting to meditate. Unlike before, she felt much more comfortable, since a soft and cozy energy spread very quickly inside her, strengthening her entire body. It was a mystical sensation that was even somewhat pleasant, which made her blush sometimes with shame...

Luan paid no attention to this, not least because he had already started meditating after swallowing a Base Building Pill. His body strength started to improve at a very fast speed. In a few minutes, he had already reached 34 times a normal man's strength with his body alone. His Negative Qi was improving a lot as well.

It was night; it was dark. A car entered the [Monte Cristo] neighborhood looking lost.

"Damn, this damn GPS!" Cursing while hitting his steering wheel, the man's voice was drunk.

"That bitch Maira!" He swore for no apparent reason. He continued to curse without stopping, either from being lost or due to the woman named Maira. "Damn poor ass neighborhood! Look at these houses and so many dogs. You mutts, get out of the way!" He honked angrily when he saw a pack of dogs in the middle of the road.

It was at that moment that a group of teenagers who looked like a pack of ruffians, stood in front of the car. What appeared to be the leader of the group held a chrome pistol with the number shaved off. He pointed the gun at the car and said in an authoritative and fierce voice, "Son of a bitch! Turn off this fucking headlight and stop fucking that horn if you don't want us to dig a hole in your fucking head!"

"*Hic*! Despicable kid!" At that moment the guy had already stopped the car, and got out, very drunk. Without turning off the headlight, he pointed his finger at the teenager and said incoherently, "Do you think that toy gun is going to scare me, kid? *Hic!* Know your place; you don't know who you're messing with!"

"You drunk, sleazy, whoreson!"

*Bang!*

The moment the young drug dealer was insulted, he became so angry that he pulled the trigger of his gun which was pointed at the drunk man.

Shortly after, sirens could be heard.

"Damn it, Frank, the police are here! Run!" Another teenager holding a gun heard the police siren and pulled the boy who shot the man, and the boys all started running through the dark alleys.

Luan was about to lie down when his cell phone rang. Seeing that it was an unknown number, he considered not responding, but in the end, he ended up answering, "Hello, who is it?"

"Mr. Luan Dimas? Your father was shot and is in the hospital."
