Chapter 11

Gao Yang hurriedly returned to the Bern villa in the original timeline and chatted with his parents in the living room.

"Yangzi, your mother and I have been traveling around and having a great time, but we can't understand what people are saying here, and we're too old to learn. Your mother and I want to go back," his father said to Gao Yang.

"Sure, Dad and Mom, you can go wherever you want. How about this: I'll make some arrangements, and we'll go to the Northern Capital. Would you like to live there?" Gao Yang said with a smile.

"Great, your mother and I visited the Northern Capital when we were young, and it was a wonderful place. We've been wanting to visit the Forbidden City again," his father said with a smile.

"Alright, then you go rest for now. I'll make the arrangements tomorrow. You should explore the city while you're here; it's a rare opportunity to have a good time, hehe," Gao Yang said.

He couldn't use the Origin Point's abilities on his parents, and to ensure their safety, he tried to keep these matters from them as much as possible.

When his parents went upstairs to their bedroom to rest, Gao Yang's face immediately turned cold. He took a bottle of red wine and called the butler to the garden, asking, "What's going on?" Gao Yang knew his parents' personalities well; they wouldn't say they wanted to leave unless something had upset them. They were looking forward to being with Gao Yang.

"It's like this, the language teacher might have spoken too hastily..." Before the butler could finish, there was a "bang" as Gao Yang smashed the wine bottle on the butler's head.

"Get lost." Gao Yang turned and left, leaving the butler lying on the ground moaning.

Back in the living room, Gao Yang said to the Origin Point, "Find out where that guy is." "A fixed query costs 75 energy points. The target is at the Orange Bar in the old district of Bern. Query complete," the Origin Point replied.

The next morning, the Bern Daily's lifestyle section published a news item: "A middle-aged white man was maliciously attacked at the back door of the Orange Bar last night. The victim has been taken to the hospital. Police Officer Robert of the City Police Department stated that the police will do their best to apprehend the perpetrator and maintain public safety."

The butler, who had been planning to hire a lawyer to sue Gao Yang, immediately bought a ticket and left Bern after reading the news.

"Why did you do it yourself? You could have paid someone to do it or used a bio-warrior. This increases the risk of exposure," the Origin Point's voice was becoming more emotional.

"Of course, I have to do it myself for my parents. I go through all this trouble and risk traveling through time just to make sure my family can live better. Otherwise, why would I work so hard? It's so much easier to make a lot of money and live a rich life," Gao Yang explained to the Origin Point.

Previously, he hadn't sold the gold because the price was too low, but now he didn't wait. He sold one ton of gold at $35 per gram on the black market, earning $35 million. Gao Yang realized that once he became stronger, he could get as much as he wanted.

He hurriedly flew to the Northern Capital and spent 27 million RMB to buy a luxury villa in a high-end residential area in the city. He then flew back to Europe to accompany his parents to the Northern Capital, where he spent a few days with them before preparing to go to Africa.

Before leaving, Gao Yang said to the bodyguards he had hired from a top European security company, "Everything is fine. I'll give you double your annual salary at the end of the year. If... if you don't need your company to punish you, I'll put a bounty on you on all the hitman websites in the world." Gao Yang paused and continued, "Until you're dead."

In Africa, Gao Yang quickly activated the time travel to 1924. He had left in a hurry and hadn't made many arrangements.

Back in Feng County, the bio-warriors who had been infused with administrative abilities reported to Gao Yang about their work. When Gao Yang heard that 42 of the mercenaries had no military experience, he immediately became angry. He had been holding in his anger since Bern and immediately traveled to Shanghai to confront Manager Lu.

Before Lu could even welcome him, Gao Yang kicked over the table. "Do you think I'm an idiot? You sent me mercenaries who haven't been in the military? Do you think my money is easy to cheat?"

"Mr. Gao, due to the urgency, the headquarters didn't conduct a strict review, and this happened. I'm really sorry. However, these people are skilled workers who can work in the factory," Lu explained with a smile.

"I can't risk using them in my factory. Who would I blame if there's a leak?" Gao Yang thought. He sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and said to Lu, "I'll let it go this time. If the next batch has the same issue, I'll go directly to your headquarters and tell them that you're asking for too much in kickbacks, so I won't buy any more weapons from your company."

Lu was stunned. If Gao Yang really said that, he would be finished. The headquarters had just sent a commendation and asked Lu to strengthen the cooperation.

Lu hurriedly said to Gao Yang, "Mr. Gao, please rest assured. This won't happen again. I promise. Also, the headquarters has sent a message that Mr. Gao can get a 95% discount on industrial goods."

Gao Yang smiled but didn't comment, declined Lu's dinner invitation, and left the company.

Walking down the streets of Shanghai with a few bio-warrior bodyguards, Gao Yang felt a bit lonely. Having abilities that surpassed the era but not being able to show them was like wearing fine clothes at night.

Following the crowd, he found himself at the entrance of the Paramount. Gao Yang smiled and decided to go in. He suddenly felt like having some fun and relaxing.

Watching the dance and music, he found it really boring. The generation gap was too big. Everyone's aesthetic was completely different. He barely watched for a while, found it too boring, and got up to leave. But then he noticed the casino and decided to try it out.

He wrote a check for 10,000 silver dollars and entered the casino with high spirits. Unfortunately, he was cleaned out in less than an hour. Gao Yang was speechless; it was obvious the house was cheating him. Annoyed, he wrote another check for 50,000 silver dollars. This time, it was even faster. He lost 10,000 silver dollars in one bet and was cleaned out in less than ten minutes. Gao Yang was furious. "You're too greedy. Do you think I can't see what you're doing?"

Gao Yang smiled. He had just wanted to spend some money to relax, but now he couldn't let it go. He lit a cigarette, wrote a check for 100,000 silver dollars, and told the bio-warriors to get the chips. He also said to the Origin Point, "Activate the scanning ability."

Still, Gao Yang lost. Although he had scanned the dice, the house had tampered with them before revealing them. While he didn't care about the money, he couldn't be treated like a fool.

"Call your manager," Gao Yang said coldly.

"Sir, please wait a moment." A waiter came back and said, "Sir, our manager invites you to the VIP room."

Gao Yang stood up and went to the VIP room, where a man with glasses greeted him arrogantly. "Sir, thank you for coming. Here is 10,000 silver dollars as a token of our appreciation. We hope to see you again."

Gao Yang had just wanted to get an explanation, but now he felt insulted.

"Do you know who I am?" Gao Yang asked.

"I don't care," the manager said.

"You're really arrogant. Do you know what will happen if you offend me?" Gao Yang was getting angry.

"Listen, this is Mr. Huang's place. Who in Shanghai would dare not give Mr. Huang face? Do you want to leave Shanghai alive? Huh? Get lost now, or you'll leave in a coffin," the manager said, not taking Gao Yang seriously. He knew all the famous people in Shanghai, and this guy looked like a rich kid from out of town who thought he could act high and mighty in the Paramount.

"Ha," Gao Yang laughed and turned to leave.

Standing outside the Paramount, Gao Yang thought about using the Origin Point's invisibility ability to break into the casino's vault and clean it out. As he was thinking, he heard a commotion. A middle-aged man was dragged out of the door, and a few thugs threw him to the ground and started beating him up.

Gao Yang frowned, not knowing what was happening. A few rickshaw drivers nearby started discussing. "He dared to come back. This time, he'll be beaten to death. It's really sad," they sighed.

Gao Yang walked over and asked, "What's going on? Anyone know?"

The rickshaw drivers looked at Gao Yang and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Gao Yang took a few silver dollars from the bio-warrior's pocket and threw them to the rickshaw drivers. "Tell me."

The rickshaw drivers picked up the silver dollars, looked at each other, and said, "It's not a big deal. The man gambled in the casino and was set up, owing a lot of money. Because he couldn't pay, his wife and daughter were taken to work as prostitutes to pay off the debt."

Another rickshaw driver added, "Actually, the man was set up. His wife and daughter were very beautiful, and the casino sent people to lure him into gambling. They were after his wife and daughter."

"Why are they beating him?" Gao Yang asked, his voice cold and angry. The rickshaw drivers hesitated and said, "The man sold all his property and borrowed money everywhere to pay off the debt and get his wife and daughter back, but the casino wouldn't let him. His daughter was killed shortly after being taken, just a few days. She was only twelve. It's a real tragedy."

Gao Yang, suppressing his anger, asked, "How do you know this?"

The rickshaw drivers looked at the one who had spoken and said nervously, "My nephew works in the casino. He told us. This happens often in the casino..."

Before he could finish, Gao Yang and the bio-warriors rushed towards the casino. The thugs, who were tired from beating the man, were smoking and talking. Seeing Gao Yang and the others rushing over, the leader raised his hand, which was holding a cigarette, and pointed at Gao Yang. "TMD, this is Mr. Huang's..." He didn't finish his sentence before he wet his pants in fear.

Gao Yang pulled out a gun from the bio-warrior's clothes and, along with the bio-warriors, opened fire on the thugs. After a burst of gunfire, the thugs lay on the ground, riddled with bullets. Gao Yang went over to the man and checked his pulse.

"He's dead. There's no saving him," the Origin Point said. Gao Yang felt his lungs about to burst and raised his gun, firing wildly at the Paramount's entrance.
