Chapter 054: Father

After seeing Vega off, Wang Bo returned to his villa in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong Island, and had a good night's sleep.

In a sense, Wang Bo had also averted World War III.

So tonight, Wang Bo slept more soundly than any other day.

The next morning, after getting up, Wang Bo's first order of business was to call Chunli and ask her to come over to his place.

By the time Wang Bo washed his face and walked out of the bathroom, Chunli was already sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Wang Bo first nodded at Chunli, then went into the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of cola for himself, and asked, "What would you like to drink, iced cola or coffee?"

“Coffee,” Chunli answered.

Wang Bo nodded, took out the Gourmet's Tablecloth, ordered a coffee, and handed it to Chunli. Looking at her somewhat dark circles, he asked, "From the look of you, it seems you didn't sleep well last night."

Chunli gave a wry smile, touched her eye socket, and used Ripple Qigong to eliminate her dark circles.

“I was thinking about Vega all last night.”

"Vega?"

"Yes, I think Vega is terrifying. The power he has displayed still surpasses that of humans. The major countries cannot turn a blind eye; they will definitely capture Vega. I think Vega is very likely to trigger the Third World War..."

"You're overthinking it." Wang Bo knew what Chunli was thinking and waved his hand to cut off what she was about to say.

"Why?"

"Vega is a time traveler, and I've already sent him back to his original world. The fuse is gone; World War III won't break out."

Chunli: ...

Doesn't this mean I worried all night for nothing?

She was so angry.

But what followed was relief. Vega had disappeared, so these countries should... wait, no.

Chun-Li said, “Vega suddenly disappeared. Would these countries suspect that someone secretly captured him? If they become suspicious of each other and friction escalates, a third…”

"I've noticed you seem to have quite an imagination, with a big brain for wild ideas," Wang Bo said helplessly.

Chunli stuck out her tongue and said, "That scenario isn't impossible. If Vega suddenly disappears, people will probably suspect that he was secretly subdued."

Wang Bo thought for a moment, took out the magic lamp, and placed it on the coffee table in front of Chunli.

"Come, make a wish."

"What wish?"

"Let everyone who has ever come into contact with Vega forget Vega. That way, in everyone's memory, there will be no such person as Vega, and there will be no suspicion or friction." Wang Bo said.

Chun-Li's eyes lit up, thinking Wang Bo's suggestion was very reasonable, so she summoned the genie of the lamp and made a wish.

“I hope that the high-level officials of all major countries will forget the existence of General Vega.”

"This wish is too simple."

The genie of the lamp rubbed his hands together, channeling his magic to erase all memories of Vega from the minds of the nation's high-ranking officials.

Thus, no one would know Vega as a person, and they would not suspect each other.

World peace, world peace!

Wang Bo put away the magic lamp and said, "Chunli, the truth is, the reason I called you here this time is that I want to meet your father."

"My father?"

"That's right, your father, Tong Mao!"

"See my father? Why do you want to see my father? Isn't it too early?" Chunli blushed a little. She felt that her relationship with Wang Bo was not yet close enough to meet the parents.

Although she did indeed have a good impression of Wang Bo, this feeling was more like respect for a mentor.

It was not romantic love.

Chunli did not deny Wang Bo's excellence, but Wang Bo's twisted view of love was indeed not what she wanted.

Wang Bo saw Chunli's flushed face and knew that she seemed to have misunderstood, so he took the initiative to say, "Don't overthink it, Chunli. The reason I want to see your father is mainly because I have a few doubts that need your father's answers."

Chunli couldn't help asking, 'Do you know my father?'

"I don't know," Wang Bo said. "But I do need your father's help."

"I, I understand." Chun Li saw Wang Bo's serious expression, nodded, and agreed.

Wang Bo said, "Go and bring your father here, Chunli, as quickly as possible."

Chunli obeyed Wang Bo's instructions, vanishing from the hall in an instant. Using teleportation, she returned to her home and found her father, Tong Ang.

"Dad, someone wants to see you."

"See me?" Chunli's father was a middle-aged man with a righteous face, two patches of beard at the corners of his mouth, making him look even more mature.

"That's right." Chunli stepped forward, grabbed her father, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, and used teleportation, instantly bringing her father before Wang Bo.

Tong'ang only felt a blur before his eyes, and the scenery around him underwent an earth-shattering change.

From the ordinary, cramped living room of his own home, he had been transported to the hall of a luxurious villa; the cheap sofa beneath him had been replaced with an extravagant leather sofa.

The slightly yellowed walls of the hall had also become beautifully painted white walls.

The ordinary light bulbs had been replaced with a magnificent chandelier.

More importantly, standing before him was a man in casual attire. The clothes looked ordinary, but Tong Ang recognized them as handmade casual wear, exquisitely crafted.

It was worth at least tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

Before Tong Ang could understand what was happening, he heard Chunli say, "Dad, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Wang Bo. He's the one who wanted to see you this time."

Wang Bo nodded slightly, stepped forward, and extended his hand. "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Tong Ang. I am Wang Bo."

"Hello." Tong Ang stood up and shook hands with Wang Bo. "What is going on here?"

Wang Bo said, "Please have a seat, Mr. Tongmao. I know you must be very confused right now, but please believe that I mean no harm. I will explain everything to you one by one."

Tong'ang nodded and sat down.

Wang Bo took a sip of his soda—what some call 'happy-fatty water'—and recounted his background and work to him in detail.

Tong Ang looked at Wang Bo with an excited face, his lips trembling incessantly, as if he wanted to say something.

Wang Bo made a calming gesture and said, 'The reason I came to see you today is that I have a question to ask you, Mr. Tong Mao: are you and Chun Li... time travelers?'

Chunli was taken aback by Wang Bo's question and quickly shook her head, saying, "How could we possibly be time travelers?"

"Yes!" However, the next second, Tong Mao's voice rang out.

For a moment, Chunli looked at her father with an incredulous expression.

Wang Bo couldn't help rubbing his temples, involuntarily thinking about the outcome of his communication with the divine artifact the night before.
