However, high risk inevitably brings high rewards, and consanguineous marriage also carries an extremely small chance of producing a genius of extraordinary talent in some aspect: in 1885, a German man named Alois married his own biological niece, and their first son's name was: Adolf Hitler!
The grandparents of Darwin, the founder of evolution, were first cousins, and this did not prevent Darwin from becoming a giant in science.
The American DuPont family, a wealthy clan, practiced intermarriage among relatives for a full century, producing many business prodigies!
And the most typical case is a pair of Jewish cousins, who gave birth to a universally recognized high-IQ genius, Einstein!
William Ford is also one of these extremely rare cases!
He still clearly remembers that the first person he killed was the landlady downstairs, Mrs. Cooper! After she overheard his parents accidentally revealing a secret on the phone, she spread it everywhere as gossip. If not for her, his life would never have become so lonely and desolate as it is now!
Three years ago, on that night, he waited quietly on the long street for three hours, forty-two minutes, and thirty-seven seconds, until finally, this fat woman had her fill of playing cards. He then quietly sneaked up from behind, raised the brick in his hand, and with a sudden burst of strength, smashed it hard at the back of her head!
Smack!
Blood splattered everywhere!
“William Ford, you little brat, what are you doing! You’ve been a prep cook (that is, the one in charge of chopping vegetables and meat, and preparing ingredients in a restaurant) for half a year, and you still can’t even chop bones!”
As soon as this shrill gong-like voice rang out, everyone in the “Qixiangwei” kitchen didn’t even need to hear the content to know that Brian Grant was venting his anger on the new guy again. Strangely enough, when he first applied for the job half a year ago, this young man named William Ford was indeed clumsy. When asked to show his skills, after a long while, the meat slices he cut could only be described as chunks, and the shredded meat was at least as thick as candles. In the end, the head chef, both amused and exasperated, had him peel radishes instead. The radish was peeled, but a two-jin radish was reduced to just two liang.
However, everyone has their own use. The shrewd boss, after hearing the waiters joking about this in the front hall, came into the kitchen, looked at the calm and wooden-faced boy in front of him, and straightforwardly dragged him to the chopping board, tossed a heavy-backed kitchen knife onto it, and impatiently said, “Can you endure hardship?”
William Ford silently took an apron from the side and put it on. His thin body looked even more emaciated wrapped in the oversized apron. He then simply replied, “Yes.”
The boss rolled up his sleeves, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and dragged out a dozen pork ribs from the fridge, probably weighing over a hundred jin in total. Panting, he said, “If you can chop all these ribs for me today, you can stay.”
William Ford said nothing, just silently gripped the thick handle of the knife on the chopping board.
In fact, perhaps it’s because fate is fair, geniuses often come with a touch of idiocy. If one aspect of an Einstein is particularly outstanding, then he is often weak in another. For example, Chen Jingrun was clueless about housework, a certain piano prodigy couldn’t take care of daily life, and Einstein’s attempt at cooking resulted in a fire. William Ford was the same; since childhood, he was never good at sharpening pencils or doing fine work. But he had a stubborn streak— the less skilled he was at something, the more he forced himself to practice.
Before entering, William Ford had observed this hotpot restaurant called “Qixiangwei” for two hours and noticed that their signature dish was pork rib hotpot. He deduced that what they probably lacked was someone willing to do the hard work of chopping ribs, so he applied for the job. No one noticed that, before the boss even spoke, this young man had already put on a thick apron in advance to avoid getting blood splattered on him while chopping ribs.
So, enduring the pain in his arms, William Ford successfully got this high-intensity, low-reward job. To be precise, it was a part-time job.
He now has three identities: one as an employee of Qixiangwei, one as an adult college student at Nanchuan University, and the last— as a wanted criminal on the Ministry of Public Security’s online list!
But no one would ever connect the slightly chubby, round-faced, honest-looking boy on the wanted poster with the thin, high-cheekboned, cold, and wooden person in front of them. In fact, even if William Ford’s parents came back to life at this moment, they might not recognize their own son!
But this was not plastic surgery.
From the moment William Ford saw his parents’ corpses, he set his mind on revenge. And since he had no intention of dying together with his enemies, the first thing he planned was an escape route!
To quickly change into his current appearance, after personally killing the last three people on his revenge list, William Ford began taking a special weight-loss drug he had prepared in advance, and then used a stone to knock out his upper canine teeth on both sides!
