Collection Room
Bai Yuanzhou really wanted to dawdle a little, and even had the urge to pretend that something happened and take Osvid away from this troubled place. However, they had just been checked by the traffic police when they came here, and they must have received their message to go home by now. It would be too deliberate to leave.
What Bai Yuanzhou could be sure of was that the people in the house were not from the Xu family. In this case, the other three families had no conflict with the Bai family, and he had no need to offend them.
Although, he had a bad feeling that the other party was also planning to take over the little dragon cub.
Just as he was about to make up his mind, Oswald patted the back of Bai Yuanzhou's hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Yuanzhou didn't recognize the voice, but Osvid did. It was the mother and daughter he and Grandpa Bai had saved.
——I didn’t expect that the little girl would actually come to see him!
Although they had only met once, it was Oswald's first good deed for a dragon, so it was of great significance! He also wanted to know if the woman's injury had healed.
So, Osvid urged Bai Yuanzhou to unbuckle his seat belt, and then the two of them returned to the familiar living room under the silent gaze of the black-clad bodyguards outside the door.
After entering, Oswald saw Mrs. Nancy entertaining the mother and daughter. It turned out that there were not only the two of them at home, but also a man with similar features.
The man had a delicate face and wore gold-rimmed glasses. He was sitting casually on the sofa. He was having a pleasant conversation with Mr. Bai. He looked very imposing, but spoke in a calm and reserved manner.
After hearing the noise at the door, everyone in the living room looked over. The little girl jumped off the sofa first and rushed to Osvid: "Xiaolong! Long time no see!"
The beautiful lady also stepped forward and gently stroked her daughter's hair. "Why are you so excited? Don't scare Xiaolong. Didn't you say Xiaolong didn't know who you were?"
"Oh, yes!" The little girl quickly smoothed her golden braid, then lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted Oswald. "Xiaolong, my name is Elizabeth, and I'm from the Capetian family."
"This is my mother, Sophia Capet. You can call her Madame Sophia."
For Osvid, these were the two people he had rescued and were now his new friends. He had no idea what the name of Lady Sophia and the Capetian family meant.
The little dragon simply extended his paw in a friendly manner to greet his new friend. He pointed at himself and said, "Osvid."
Of course, during this process, the man's eyes were always fixed on the little dragon, and Osvid also noticed it.
However, this gaze was not like the one Master Moweni had given him before - it was not out of enthusiasm for his dragon self, but rather... a kind of defensiveness, as if he was afraid that he would hurt his family.
Osvid first sniffed Elizabeth's scent, and then moved on to Madam Sophia. Neither of them had any toxins left by the Zerg, so he felt relieved.
Then, Xiaolong's head suddenly turned, and his heterochromatic eyes met the man staring at him with a scorching gaze: "Ah?"
The man's eyes flickered slightly, but without the slightest hint of panic that comes from being caught stealing glances, he instead gave Osvid a smile, then introduced himself calmly:
"Carl Capet. Elizabeth's brother."
This time the little dragon didn't rub the other's hand to show friendliness, but just nodded proudly to show that he understood.
If the man was not Elizabeth's brother, he would definitely not bother to pay attention to him.
When Bai Yuanzhou heard the name, he rubbed his fingers and said, "Mr. Karl really has the style of the Capet family. He is very humble."
The other party began to emerge during the three years when he was in a coma, and even concealed his background. He did not use the name of the Capet family to win over the members of parliament. It was only recently that he was troubled by his competitors that he brought up the Capet family to circumvent the charges.
Karl is now also one of the youngest vice-presidents of the Imperial Parliament, which is enough to show how terrifying he is.
Unlike the military, where promotions are relatively transparent, the Imperial Parliament does not have direct references such as mental strength or merit. Instead, it tests whether a person is good at networking or whether he can win the hearts of the people.
Carl withdrew his gaze from the little dragon cub, shook hands with Bai Yuanzhou, and then asked with concern, "Is Admiral Bai in good health?"
Bai Yuanzhou nodded and said, "Thanks to the medical team provided by the royal family and the military, my health has recovered well. But Mr. Karl must be very busy with official duties. How did you find time to come to the Bai family?"
Karl smiled and pulled Elizabeth over: “Then you have to ask her.”
Elizabeth pouted. "You were the ones who said we should thank Grandpa Bai and Xiaolong for saving Mom and me. And since even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring, Xiaolong and I have a life-long friendship. So, this makes sense, right?"
"A little, but not much." Carl nodded. "And that's not a reason for you to secretly empty the Capet family's collection room and give it to Oswald."
Elizabeth dared not say another word when she heard this.
It was indeed wrong of her to do this, but the Capet family had hundreds of collection rooms spread across various planets. She just wanted to give something from one of them to the little dragon cub, so what was wrong with that...
Karl changed the subject: “However, considering that you have already transferred one-third of the things, and both mother and grandfather agreed.”
Elizabeth's head snapped up: "So?!"
"Please...stretch out your claws," Carl said to Osvid, then placed his computer on top. "The key has been transferred to your computer, and the location information has also been sent to you."
Hearing this, Elizabeth excitedly rushed to Osvid and said, "Ahhhh, Xiaolong! This collection room is located on Kansa Planet, and the collection inside was collected by my great-great-great-grandfather!"
"I can't guarantee that you'll like all the items here, but I can guarantee that there will definitely be something you like. It's worth investing in it!"
Osvid was still a little confused, but no matter how excited the little girl was or the shock on the faces of the Bai family, he could feel that this gift was not simple.
This time, Osvid no longer had the enthusiasm to ask Bai Yuanzhou for the mineral vein.
He poked the tip of his claw and asked Bai Yuanzhou to translate, "This gift is too valuable. Osvid feels he shouldn't accept it. He and Grandpa didn't expect anything in return when they saved people. He just didn't want anyone to get hurt."
Now it was Carl's turn to be a little surprised. He had imagined many reactions, but he never expected that the tiny little dragon cub would have such awareness.
To be honest, if his sister hadn't pestered him to come today, he wouldn't have come.
Because as soon as he showed up, it seemed that the Capet family wanted to make peace with the Bai family.
The Capet family has always been low-key. When the king of the empire asked them to help the Bai family, they were rejected. If it weren't for his grandfather's tacit approval this time, he wouldn't want to get involved.
But no matter whether it was the people he sent or his grandfather's people, the information they found showed that Grandpa Bai Sheng and Xiao Longzai were really at the scene because of an accident, and not to set up a trap to get close to their family.
Carl never believed in coincidences, so he was still wary of the Bai family.
Even now, he felt that these words were not what the little dragon boy meant, but that Bai Yuanzhou did it on purpose.
Carl lowered his eyes and said, "After all, you saved my mother and sister. It's only natural that we should express our gratitude to you... If the little dragon cub doesn't want this, can I ask him what he wants? I'll do my best to find it for him."
Otherwise, if the favor is delayed, it will become more troublesome and difficult to repay.
Bai Yuanzhou looked down at the little dragon, as if waiting for an answer.
Soon, the little dragon cub let out a howl, and Bai Yuanzhou spoke again: "He said he wants a mountain range or open space near the main planet."
Carl sneered inwardly.
——Sure enough, it was the humans who wanted more, not the dragons.
Before the little dragon cub finished speaking, Bai Yuanzhou's simultaneous interpreter continued, "If possible, the size will be between 150,000 and 200,000 square meters."
"The surrounding area should be well-greened, and it would be best if you can see the seashore within a short flight. If possible, the mountain should be solid, with only one entrance, so that it is easier to set up the magic circle."
"I hope there's still unmined ore in the cave. It would be even better if there were a waterfall outside. It also has to be warm, preferably a place with summer all year round..."
Carl shifted his gaze to Osvid again, his eyes darkening a little: "...?"
——Why hasn’t the dragon finished dreaming yet?
