Chapter 447 Deep Virtual Reality 275
A brightly lit castle was faintly visible through the rain.
Clean and luxurious high-rise buildings are already the limit for ordinary people. It is hard to imagine that outside the crowded and cramped city, there is such a beautiful manor where servants perform their duties and manage the vast manor in an orderly manner.
The raindrops under the night sky only stop in the air above the manor, separated by transparent glass. The plants in the manor are cultivated with the most fertile soil and the cleanest water, so rainwater containing various harmful substances cannot fall.
Inside the castle sat a white-haired, dignified lady, holding a scepter. Her understated yet luxurious attire complemented the opulent atmosphere around her. A single pearl on her dress could buy a small three-bedroom apartment in a major city.
At this moment, kneeling to her left was a middle-aged woman with a similar face to hers, who was none other than Professor Yun Jing.
“Mother, I am thinking of the Langley family. This is your hard work, isn’t it?” The temperature inside the room was just right, so kneeling on the floor wasn’t cold. It was just that my legs and feet were sore and numb after kneeling for a long time.
"Yun Jing, I always thought you were more composed than your sister, but I didn't expect you to still be such a fool. Do you think I've built the Langley family to where it is today because of kindness? The human world is no different from the animal world; it's survival of the fittest, and the weak are destined to be devoured."
Your father was a thinker, but he was too foolish and got stuck in a rut, which led to his death from depression. Do you want to follow in his footsteps?
Several people watching nearby also showed mocking smiles, laughing at the father and daughter's naivety.
Yun Jing stared silently at her biological mother, suddenly feeling an unprecedented sense of mockery. Wasn't it her mother, Ms. Silaya, who knew best how her father had died?
My father did have some unrealistic ideas and a love for the world and people that she didn't understand, but he didn't become depressed. It was my father's influence that blocked my mother and those people's path. Wasn't the final result something my mother orchestrated?
She was like that, and so was Lillian's father. However, her father was a scholar, while Lillian's father was a military and political figure. As her mother's legal husband, didn't that gentleman also end up with the same fate as her father?
Those who walk different paths should be killed.
"Mother, you are getting old and shouldn't get so angry, lest you harm your health." It's time for you to step down.
Yun Jing calculated the time in her mind and stood up straight, even though her knees were in excruciating pain.
"What? Sister, are you mocking Mother's age? How can you say that? Without Mother, would you be where you are today?"
"That's right. Without her mother, would she still be the highly regarded Professor Yun Jing? She probably wouldn't even be as good as her father, who is hated by everyone."
"puff--"
The other Langley children who had witnessed the whole thing couldn't help but laugh. They were trying their best to please the head of the Langley family and belittle their half-sister.
Hearing Yun Jing's words, Silaya was further enraged, her face contorted with fury. "What? You think I'm too old to teach you a lesson?"
She seemed quite irritable lately. Silaya suddenly realized this, her brow furrowing. She calmed herself before continuing, "Tomorrow, you and I will attend a press conference to publicly expose Xie Ning and Ruining Pharmaceutical Company's illegal operations..."
Before she could finish speaking, a group of people surrounded her. Silaya paused, her expression calming down. The expressions of the mother and daughter were exactly the same.
"You want to seize the throne? With just these people?" Silaya showed no fear, her eyes filled with mockery. At her feet, dark shadows spread, and black humanoid creatures crawled out. Only then did everyone realize that behind Silaya stood a man in black robes.
At the same time, many auras gradually surrounded the castle, and the people brought by Yun Jing were surrounded in return. With their strength, they were indeed unable to harm Silaya, who was protected by a large number of bodyguards inside.
The group, who had been startled, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the person standing next to Silaya grabbed Silaya by the neck. Silaya's eyes widened, seemingly in disbelief.
"Mother, are you surprised?"
But Silaya could no longer make a sound. Having been in a high position for many years, she had not lost her vigilance. Even when facing Yun Jing and the children like Lillian, she did not let her guard down.
But she never expected that the Awakened Ones she had brought under her control, trained them, and firmly managed would betray her. No, looking at the blood constantly oozing from the mouth and nose of the man in the black robe under his wide hat, it wasn't betrayal, it was control.
Luo sat on a tree in the distance, with Yu curiously looking at the unripe fruit in her hand. Luo withdrew her shared spiritual power, her cheeks puffed out, a little unconvinced, and a hint of envy in her eyes.
"That android actually possesses a mind control ability!" It's just that his mental strength is insufficient. If he were to forcibly control a higher-level awakened individual, he would need to burn his life force, which is why he needs her to share his mental strength.
"Mmm." Yu held the fruit to Luo's lips, tilting her head slightly.
She instinctively took a bite, and the sour and bitter juice immediately exploded on her taste buds, causing her fair face to scrunch up. "So sour!"
Yu blinked, and after a while, nodded in understanding. "Qing is sour."
Then she put the red fruit into her mouth, and the slightly sour and sweet taste spread. Yu's eyes lit up, and she picked many more red fruits.
The next day, Xie Ning received a bag full of red fruit.
