The Xiao Family, Xiao Family Mansion.
Xiao Yun, the Head of the Xiao Family, had only just emerged from the pain of losing his daughter and was discussing matters with his clansmen in the mansion.
"That Peng'er, honestly. Still no sign of him."
"He stayed out all last night. Still as mischievous as when he was little."
Xiao Yun held a watering can, watering the flowers as he discussed business.
He looked quite at ease.
A sudden burst of crying outside the courtyard made Xiao Yun frown.
"Family head, the young master!!"
"He was murdered!! His body was dumped in a filthy ditch."
Xiao Yun's aged face instantly flushed crimson, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He felt the world go dark and collapsed flat on the ground.
"Family head, family head!!"
The morning's Mental Power test had caused a sensation at Light City No. 1 High School, yet strangely, the news had not spread at all.
Gu Zimei's Mental Power had reached 300, but the school had suppressed the news.
Certain people did not want Gu Zimei to receive a spot to go to the Great Qian Empire.
After all, they feared that once Gu Zimei finished her studies, she would settle accounts with them over what had happened to the Gu Family.
Knowing all this, Gu Zimei sneered inwardly.
To her, that damned spot was utterly worthless.
It was laughable that those people actually valued it so highly.
All I need is to get the Dark-Dark Fruit!
In the blink of an eye, afternoon arrived.
The Devil Fruit Space was about to open.
Light City's Devil Fruit Space lay hidden at the foot of the hill behind Light City No. 1 High School, which was also why the school had been built there.
