Xu Lan s.h.i.+fted his position carefully. If the time and place were right, he was prepared to kick Bai Wu into the crack.

“Papa, why are you here? Go away from me, the crack… ngghh…” Xu Lan covered Bai Wu’s mouth immediately. The powerful suction pulled the man to the window’s edge; Bai Wu was obstructing the force but to no avail.

“Bai Wu, let go! The car’s going to overturn!” Xu Lan shouted. Liang Yu had found a place to make an emergency stop. If at that time, the void’s strength was no match for Bai Wu, it was impossible to know when it would appear next.

“But Papa, I can’t let go!” Bai Wu shouted back.

“Xu Lan, what’s going on?” Sensing that something was off, Qin Lao turned around to ask. Then he ordered, “Liang Yu! Stop the car! NOW!”

“One minute, Qin Lao, give me one minute,” came Liang Yu’s reply.

Despite being completely oblivious as to what that thing was, Qin Lao saw with his own two eyes a bolster being sucked into the window.

“Bai Wu! Let go!” Xu Lan shouted as he tried to pry Bai Wu’s hands apart.

“I won’t! I want to be with Papa!”

Bai Wu stubbornly clung to the car roof. The void increased in size and turned the car door into a spiral-shaped astrolabe. A seatbelt, bolster, and a seat cus.h.i.+on had been sucked into it. The entire car suddenly became heavier and began tilting severely to one side.

“Bai Wu! Listen to me. Let go.” With his hands, Xu Lan continued to pry open Bai Wu’s grip, and with his legs, he tried pus.h.i.+ng Bai Wu off.

“NO! I don’t want to! Papa…” Tears began streaming down Bai Wu’s face. His reddened eyes, full of hurt and despair, stared back at Xu Lan.

Qin Lao repeatedly urged Liang Yu to stop the car at once. While doing so, he turned to look at the scenes unfolding in the back seat.

“Soon, another thirty seconds and it’ll be done,” Liang Yu nervously answered. His hands were trembling as they gripped the steering wheel. By then, the car was too heavy and it rendered the engine incapable of functioning properly.

“Bai Wu! Do you want me to go inside it with you?!” Realizing that the car was about to come to a stop, Xu Lan asked in a saddened tone.

“…” Bai Wu’s momentary lapse of concentration enabled Xu Lan to take advantage of the void’s suction and kick half of Bai Wu’s body into it.

“Papa…” Tears flowed out like the babbling of a stream, but what broke Xu Lan’s heart the most was Bai Wu’s expression.

It was an amalgamation of sorrow, contrition, and anguish.

“I’m sorry Bai Wu. I can’t go with you. Will you still be able to visit me sometime?” Xu Lan did not have the courage to let go, but he pushed Bai Wu tirelessly into the void.

The car had already been stopped by Liang Yu. Qin Lao hastily unfastened his seatbelt and stepped down the car shakily. Liang Yu then quickly grabbed the electric net-gun from the trunk and waited for Qin Lao signal to open fire.

“Bai Wu! Let go!” Xu Lan shouted anxiously.

“Liang Yu! Fire! Now!” Qin Lao hammered the ground with his walking stick.

‘Bang!’ A small speeding carriage crashed into the taillights of the off-road vehicle.

The huge void disappeared from the car door along with those clamorous sounds. It was as if everything was an illusion; in a flash, the car reverted back to its original state.

Such an occurrence had never happened before. The dumbstruck Qin Lao simply stared at the carriage.

“Ah!”

“Papa!”

The small carriage arrived at just the right moment. Xu Lan was pus.h.i.+ng Bai Wu when the crash happened; inertia caused the man to fall into the void as well. Through that sequence, the void obtained relief, causing the crack to decrease in size until it faded away.

Xu Lan fell right into Bai Wu’s arms and received a tight hug. Immense pressure converged on them from all directions, and power akin to that of Mount Tai immediately compelled Xu Lan to kneel. It was pitch black inside and not a single thing could be seen.
