Admiral Carlyle and Ms. Zhong were both very busy, and even though the family rarely got together, they were unable to stay for dinner.

A communication came through and Admiral Carlyle stood up. Ms. Zhong also looked at the two children apologetically.

As a colonel, Tate was already a mature enough officer. And since he worked in the military, he naturally knew how busy his father was. He just nodded calmly to show his understanding.

Ms. Zhong’s gaze finally fell on Chu Lu…the child she owed the most.

Unlike Tate, the sudden accident on the snowfield defense line made them lose the opportunity to accompany the child to grow up, and then they almost lost the child.

But in fact, Chu Lu only understood the situation better than Tate.

There are always some things in this world that have to be done. Family is the strongest support, but they may not always be together.

Before leaving, under Chu Lu's almost stunned gaze, Admiral Carlyle also gave each of his sons a hug.

Apparently, Chu Lu was not the only one shocked by this action.

Tate, who was standing aside, stood up straight in a military posture as soon as Admiral Carlyle let go of his hand, and did not move for a long time.

Chu Lu waited for a long time, but he didn't see any follow-up arrangements. It was obvious that the child was frightened by his father's sudden action.

…

…………

Although Tate was not free, he had not made any progress in the situation of Adrian and his wife, so he still had time to have a meal with his brother who had not been home for five years. However, he was in a daze for a long time and almost missed the scheduled time.

Fortunately, with the speed of Adrian's patrol ship on the planet, the two of them managed to arrive.

During the short period of waiting for the food to be served, the light-blond young man handed a document to Chu Lu.

"signature."

This concise way of speaking is very much like Admiral Carlyle, but in terms of tone alone, this brother's is much softer.

Chu Lu briefly glanced through the contents of the document and almost choked on his mouthful of water.

So is he returning to this world this time to upgrade his role?

From "insignificant cannon fodder" to "the ultimate opponent of the protagonist" and "the big villain".

Chu Lu: "..."

He silently crossed out the document and met his eldest brother's puzzled gaze.

"No need." Chu Lu simply shook his head.

It is his job to carry out missions and advance the plot, but it is not his job to cause trouble for no reason.

Now, the agreement that Tate passed to him to acquire half of the shares of "Source"... is basically equivalent to directly taking away half of the hard work of the protagonist over the years.

Isn't this a normal operation of villains?

Then what will develop next is that the protagonist tries his best to solve the current dilemma, but he didn't expect that after solving the trouble brought by Master Luther, he would face Master Luther's brother. After solving the trouble brought by his brother, he would face Admiral Carlyle again, and finally he would have to become the enemy of the Adrian family... In the end, He Yuan, the protagonist favored by the world consciousness, will fight back when everyone thinks it is impossible, kill "Adrian", the cancer of the alliance, and become the new generation of ruler.

He understands so well.

Routines, all routines.

Although Chu Lu relied on his rich mission experience to complete the entire script in an instant.

But he still wanted to say that this really isn’t the length a spin-off world should be!

Could it be that the world consciousness felt that by the end of the story, its cub had not grown enough, so it pulled back this useful stepping stone to give its cub a boost?

Chu Lu: "..."

If it was just a plot, he wouldn't be panicked, but dragging the entire Adrian family into this...

…Let’s just forget it.

Chu Lu rejected the agreement without hesitation. Relying on his many years of work experience, he was ready to nip the plot in the bud.

After he refused, Tate nodded without any surprise and let go of the proposal very easily.

Chu Lu was wondering why the matter was resolved too easily this time, and it was not like Tate's style, but within three seconds, he heard a "beep" from the light brain, and Chu Lu found that his elder brother had sent him a new agreement.

Chu Lu suppressed the uneasy feeling in his heart and opened the new document to take a look.

Chu Lu: "..."

He couldn't help but remain silent, and remain silent again.

—Brother, are you planning to go down the villain path until the end?

This time it is indeed not about acquiring "Source", but about building another research institute.

Whether it was the infrastructure, location, or the luxuriousness of the research staff, it was no worse than that of the Source. Chu Lu even took a look at the personnel list and saw several current members of the Source. It was obvious that Chu Lu agreed and planned to poach them.

Chu Lu: ...to grab the bamboo shoots.

This is not as good as the first one.

But if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be a difference between slowly eroding someone in secret and directly fighting them face to face.

After all, they are all villains, so what's the difference between high and low?

Tate didn't know what Chu Lu was thinking. He guessed early on that his brother would not accept the first agreement.

Although he asked his brother again at the request of Researcher He, he knew he would be rejected before he asked.

He had also made preparations in advance. Compared with the first agreement that he had hastily read over, he prepared the second one more carefully and thoroughly.

Now seeing that his younger brother was indeed looking at the second agreement more carefully, (Chu·Actually, how do you want to dispel this cheap elder brother's idea·Lu:...), Tate couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.

Sure enough, he understood his brother better than outsiders.

He had some understanding of his desire to control and possessiveness towards his younger brother.

When he was very young, Luther would buy a store just because he liked its limited edition desserts. Later, he bought a planet as a planting site because he liked starberries. After becoming a pharmacist, he bought countless planets with mineral deposits...

However, my younger brother is so sensible usually that even this little flaw becomes cute.

…

Chu Lu was unaware that under the expressionless face of the young man opposite him, his "brother" filter had been turned up to a level thicker than the wall of a galaxy. He was still concentrating on thinking about how to stop this plot development.

It would be impossible to refuse directly. Seeing that the other party successfully came up with the second agreement, it was clear that he had made several preparations.

If he refuses this, who knows if the other party will come up with a third or fourth one later...

In the end, this brother might even directly propose to acquire "Yuan" in full and kick out the original founder He Yuan...

According to the current trend, it might really happen.

After all, what is the reason for this brother's sudden domineering personality? !

Wake up, this is really not your style.

To be honest, if Tate directly led a team to blow up the headquarters of "Source", Chu Lu would think that this was his usual style.

but……

The latter is not good either.

…

…………

In short, in order to prevent his brother and the protagonist from having a life-and-death feud, which would result in Adrian's family being retaliated against by the world consciousness and the protagonist after he left the world, Chu Lu racked his brains.

Or you could be a little more tactful and let his elder brother know that you are not interested in running a research institute.

While Chu Lu was thinking, he stayed on the same page for too long.

Tate saw a blurry shadow in the reflection of the transparent one-way glass behind him, guessed the page his brother was on, and couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his lips upwards, feeling relieved that his brother had finally made friends.

When my brother entered Union University he was too young and he was worried about being bullied, but in retrospect, he did really well in school and even made some friends.

Noticing that his brother stayed too long, Tate took the initiative to explain: "It was Mr. He who provided the assistance."

"He has discussed this with the people on the list. As long as your research institute is established, these people can go there immediately."

Chu Lu: ...Huh?

After Tate's reminder, he finally set his eyes on the "recruitment list" in front of him. His eyes, which had been quickly scanning it at first, suddenly stopped, and his eyes stayed on the last name without blinking.

——"Seth Kent."

The young man with brown hair, freckles and ordinary features smiled shyly at the camera, and the title of "assistant experimenter" behind him was even more eye-catching.

Chu Lu: "..."

Although I felt it was not normal before, but now——

Has the protagonist of this world finally gone crazy?

[Host, I think there is something you should see. ]

I haven't had much to do recently, and the system that has been offline and playing games suddenly made a sound.

Knowing that the system would not suddenly speak for no reason when there were other people present, Chu Lu did not let it wait any longer. Instead, he tried to do two things at once, dealing with the big brother in front of him while letting the system project what he wanted to see into his sea of consciousness.

This is a live interview with He Yuan.

Chu Lu knew that He Yuan had an interview in the evening, and the location was not far from the Lola Awards ceremony, so during the day he attended the awards ceremony with Master Luther as the founder of "Yuan".

The sudden appearance of his parents occupied Chu Lu's mind so much that he almost forgot what happened at the award ceremony that day.

However, it was clear that Master Luther’s sudden return had stirred up more than just one stir.

Chu Lu remembered that the original topic of this interview was about the development history and future prospects of "Source", but now it is obvious that the organizer has changed its mind at the last minute, and this is almost becoming a side interview with Master Luther.

The first thing he says is how Young Master Luther is, how Young Master Luther is.

No one doubted the identity of Master Luther. After all, Admiral Adrian and his wife were present at the scene in person. Parents would never mistake their own son, not to mention that these were not ordinary parents.

However, whether it is Admiral Carlyle or Ms. Zhong, even Master Luther’s brother Tate, they are not interviewable by ordinary media.

As a result, the "source" where "Wei Lu" was previously located was at the center of the storm.

Mr. He, the founder of "Source" and the protagonist who attended the Lola Award ceremony with Master Luther, immediately became a breakthrough.

He Yuan had anticipated what would happen in the evening after the host said the last name "Adrian" during the day.

He still had that standard expression on his face, which seemed gentle but actually kept people at a distance, but he did not show any impatience towards the host's questions, which were not prepared in advance.

The host asked the protagonist how he found Master Luther.

"…It was an accident…"

"Three years ago, I was also very surprised when I saw him in La Perri... but he was in a very bad state at that time..."

The host asked Master Luther how he felt at the time.

The black-haired young man lowered his head, trying to hide the sad look on his face, "...I'm sorry."

Even though it was an established fact that Luther had lost his mental strength, he still didn't want to say such words.

This kind of persistence is really inexplicable, but it has become a tacit understanding among those who know the inside story. It seems that as long as you don't say it out loud, the other party's mental strength will return one day.

The black-haired young man in the projection did not say anything, but the hidden pain revealed in his lowered face seemed to infect everyone present. Chu Lu even saw in the projection that after a brief silence, several ladies in the audience began to shed tears silently.

Chu Lu:? ? ?

Looking at the performance of this group of people, he almost thought that he was in a seriously injured state with only one breath left when he arrived at La Perri.

——Please tell me more clearly, was he missing an arm or a leg? !

His limbs and organs are all intact, so why is his expression like this? !
