Pingan was stunned, "That sound is so familiar."
"Brother, don't let the candle burn out. It will explode." The voice sounded again.
Pingan snapped his eyes open, and before the song was finished, he quickly squeezed the two
candles out with his fingers, and the small candle was less than five centimeters away from burning
out.
Pingan's action surprised the crowd. "Shouldn't he be blowing out the candles? Why did he put out the
candle?
Venus busily took Pingan's two small hands and nervously asked, "Does your hand hurt? How can you
snuff out a candle with your hands?"
Pingan's gaze fell on his mother's belly, his expression serious. He wanted to tell his mom what he had
just heard, but there were too many people here.
Kerry noticed his son's abnormality and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Pingan looked up at her father, then at the curious crowd, and suddenly said, "Dad, can you come with
me to see Xiaobai? I want to bring him here to sing a song."
Kerry was confused, but he readily agreed, "Okay."
Pingan took his father's hand and walked out, and then turned around and said, "Please don't touch the
cake until I get back."
Turning the corner to the toy room, Pingan said to Kerry, "Dad, I just heard my sister talking when I
made a wish."
Kerry was shocked, "Sister? You mean the sister in Venus's tummy?"
"Yeah, she called me brother."
"What did she say?" Kerry asked, not suspecting at all that Pingan was lying because his son was
much more powerful than his powers.
"She said not to let the candle burn out. It would explode."
Kerry was shocked, busily asked, "Are you sure that's what she said?"
"I'm sure. She said it twice."
Kerry turned pale and ran out to the living room quickly. If there really was something wrong with that
cake, it would be too dangerous and the whole house would be blown to bits.
"I'm sorry everyone. This cake is not to be eaten. John, take this cake away immediately." Kerry, not
caring about the surprised looks of the crowd, ordered John to take the cake away.
John didn't know why, but by the look on Kerry's face, he knew there was something wrong with the
cake. He let the two bodyguards lift the cake carefully, and walked out of the house.
Kerry's eyes kept following the cake. Suddenly the man behind the cake was tripped, and the cake fell
down at a 45 degree angle.
Pingan ran as fast as a bolt of lightning directly to the cake that was sliding to the ground.
Kerry stopped the time as fast as he could. He was able to freeze the time of an ordinary man, but he
could not freeze the time of Pingan, who was even more powerful than him.
Kerry chased after him and finally saw him in a lawn.
The cake was lying on the lawn, which had been thrown to pieces. Inside the cake was a small bomb
with a lot of fuses attached to it. The bomb looked small, but the explosive power was not to be
underestimated.
It was obvious that the bomb was meant to take revenge on Kerry. In normal circumstances, when
Pingan blew out the candles, he was surrounded by Venus, Xiran and Tianye. If something happened
to one of them, it would be the heaviest blow to both families.
"Dad, what should we do?" Pingan asked with a sad face as he squatted on the lawn.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of it." Kerry used his powers to make the cake and the bomb fly together, and
then quickly transported them to the back of the rockery mountains farthest from the villa and placed
them on a boulder before returning.
"But who the hell sent this bomb?" Kerry thought. Suddenly, a man's face came to his mind. “Gavin is
still alive?"
Then he returned to the villa with Pingan in his arms. Now the time in the villa was still standing still.
"You just pretend that nothing has happened later. Be happy. It’s your birthday today, and you have a
lot of friends over, so don't be downhearted, okay?" Kerry softly reassured her son.
Pingan nodded, but there was still worry in his eyes, "Dad, who is trying to hurt us?"
"I don't know. But I will find that bad guy. Don't worry."
Then everything went back to normal and everyone could move
The two guards at the door saw that the cake was gone and were about to ask questions. John quickly
realized that something must have just happened and whispered, "Don't ask anything. Just keep
walking.
The two bodyguards finally obeyed John's order, pretended that nothing had happened, and hurriedly
left.
In the living room, none of these guests asked why the cake was inedible, and no one discussed what
happened. Perhaps they didn't see Pingan move because he was so fast and not everyone was paying
attention to the cake.
"Pingan, that cake was so beautiful, why can't we eat it?" A kid asked.
Before Pingan could say anything, Kerry quickly explained, "I'm really sorry. I just got a call from the
bakery that the ingredients for that cake were not very fresh. I was afraid that children would have a
bad stomach if they ate it, so I let John take it away."
Several adults nodded, but they all knew that this was not the reason why the cake was taken away.
Kerry was a well-known figure in Sky City, and no bakery would dare to make a cake for him with
ingredients that were not fresh. They understood that since Kerry didn't want to talk about it, there must
be a reason, so they didn't ask any further questions.
From the moment Pingan and Kerry left, Venus, Xiran and Tianye felt that there was something
strange. Now that they heard this explanation, their doubts deepened.
"Thank you all for coming to celebrate my son's birthday, especially all of you children, and thank you
for considering Pingan your friend.” Kerry, as the host, raised his glass and said, "To Pingan's healthy
and happy growth.
When the party was halfway through, Venus pulled Kerry’s sleeve under the table, and Kerry took her
hand in his.
"What just happened?" Venus asked in a low voice.
"I'll tell it to you tonight." Kerry said with a smile.
When Tianye helped his wife to go to the bathroom, he touched Kerry's shoulder as he passed by,
gesturing for him to follow him. Kerry knew what Tianye was going to ask and followed him to leave.
After Xiran went into the bathroom, Tianye turned around and hurriedly asked Kerry, "What's wrong?"
"There's a bomb in the cake," Kerry said succinctly.
"Fuck! Who did this?" Tianye cursed, and a person's face appeared in his mind, "Shit! It can't be that
bastard. Didn't he die in the sea?"
"I don't know who put the bomb in the cake, but he probably did so, because very few people know that
Pingan is celebrating his birthday today," Kerry leaned against the wall and said fiercely, "If it were him,
I'd kill him this time.”
"So where did you put the bomb?" Tianye asked worriedly.
"It's outside the villa, behind the rockery. I'll go back to check it out after the guests leave the villa."
"You can't let the guests leave." Xiran's voice rang out. She was already out of the bathroom.
"Even if we were to leave, we can't go out through the gate.” she continued.
Kerry was surprised, "Why?"
"I guess the guy who is delivering the bombs must be lurking around the villa right now. If I were him,
I'd be very interested in seeing what I've accomplished. Once you send your guests away, it's the end
of the birthday party. When the other guy sees that his plot didn't work out, he'll know keep an eye on
us and also hide even deeper in the future. It will be even harder for us to find him." Xiran explained.
"Xiran is right. If he didn't succeed this time, he would do it again next time. We have to find him now."
Tianye said.
"But I can't estimate the power of the bomb. There are too many people here."
"We can’t get out of here through the front door, but we can get out of here through the other doors.
Don't you have any other way out of this villa than a front door?" Xiran said.
