"Breaking news: yesterday a terrorist attack took place in the city of Caesura.
A blast wave bomb exploded in two houses in an upscale residential area. Fortunately, due to rush hour traffic at the end of business hours, there were very few people in the buildings. The number of casualties and fatalities was low, including about a dozen elderly people and children..."
Accompanied by the sound of the TV news, Clint lay down at the table in his room, devouring his meal.
"One more serving!"
Whack!
Clint smashed the empty plate on the table and yelled.
"You've already eaten three servings..." said Baylon helplessly beside him, wearing an apron. She was the one who had prepared the food.
"He's a pig, ignore him and fill your own stomach first." slowly sounded Red Moon's voice.
"I can't help it either! I never feel satisfied, there must be something wrong with that training method you gave me! I didn't used to be like that!" shouted Clint in defense.
"Sure, the Nine Mega Cannons training method increases your appetite, but not to this extent. The more you eat, the more it means your energy efficiency is low, you waste too much, so you need to absorb a lot more energy to make up for your consumption of Willpower."
"What does that mean? I don't understand..." asked Clint truthfully.
"It means you're too stupid, that's why you eat so much." stated Red Moon mercilessly.
"Oh! Don't blame me, there should be something wrong with your training method!"
Clint finally knew how to resist, after accepting a new plate of fried rice from Baylon, he continued eating.
"This idiot." Red Moon was completely speechless and focused his attention on Baylon, dressed in a white apron.
After this boy's Force of Will was activated, perhaps as a result of the training method, but mainly due to his own body, Baylon had somehow quickly become such a pure and beautiful figure.
Slim, weak, tall and long, with curves in all the right places. Her long flowing hair, combined with fair skin, gave an impression of delicate beauty that begged for love and compassion.
"As expected, you fail as a boy, it's better to be a girl and find someone to take care of you." said Red Moon in exasperation.
"It's not natural. Tsk-tsk..."
"The more I train with that Shining Queen Jisaiya method, the more I feel my body changing.
What's up with that...?" asked Baylon, embarrassed.
"It's normal, that's the training method inherited from the legendary Bright Queen, it's a Three-Only type, and it can evolve, allowing the pilot's body to advance along with it from the beginning," Red Moon explained.
"What do you mean by Three-Only attributes?"
"It means what it says, in the whole world, only three people can practice this training method, because the Brilliant Queen Jisaiya only left three footprints.
If you have the opportunity to reach the top, you will participate in a race to get the footprints and achieve the complete main footprint. But it is still too early.
That woman, the Brilliant Queen, died too early and she was also very demanding. If it wasn't for the fact that her training method was still pretty decent, I wouldn't want to go near her."
Red Moon seemed to have a very bad impression of the Shining Queen.
"Lon! One more bowl!!!"
Next to her, Clint had somehow finished a large bowl of rice in such a short time, slamming the bowl down on the table and shouting again.
"There isn't... There's no more..." Baylon was completely shocked, seeing that Clint was still unsatisfied, she began to panic....
"You ate it all..." she was on the verge of tears. She had prepared food for seven people and this guy had finished it all, even she hadn't had a chance to eat yet.
"Urk..." Clint realized he had also eaten too much and scratched his head awkwardly.
"Um... Uh... Ah!!!" Suddenly, he shouted.
"Look out! Something's coming!" In an instant, Red Moon hit Clint hard with a bolt of electricity, making him scream in pain.
"Everyone, hold your breath!"
Suddenly, the lights in the room went out and everything was plunged into darkness. Only a faint smell of fried rice hung in the air.
Outside the room, in the garden, a tall, black, frayed shadow slowly appeared outside the wall.
"The Forbidden..." A deep, male voice emerged from the shadows.
"I found it, right here..."
Punch!
Suddenly, a beam of light came on, illuminating the shadow and revealing most of its body. It was a six-meter tall, shattered and shredded red and white robot!
"Do it!!!"
Amidst the screams, an equally huge humanoid shadow jumped out of the house and crashed directly into the red and white robot.
Under the light, it became apparent that this black shadow was actually a broken garbage robot made of several pieces.
"Fool!"
The Red-White Mech didn't budge at all, crashing its arms forward.
Bam!!!
The two crashed into each other.
"Huh? What tremendous force!" A surprised voice came from inside the red-white Mech.
"But if all you have is strength, you're still a piece of junk."
Gesturing it away, the Red-White Mech swung its leg and hit the opponent's waist with a thud, sending it flying and crashing into a large portion of the side wall.
"Clint!" shouted Baylon worriedly from inside the room.
"Hand over the Forbidden Core and I'll spare your life!" chuckled the Red-White Mech, stomping his body so he couldn't get up.
Clint felt weak all over, unable to use any strength at all.
"You idiot, I let you drive Mechs so you could run errands, not fight! You idiot, you don't understand human language!" scolded Red Moon angrily next to his ear.
"What do you do...?"
"What do I do, ass! Run!"
Suddenly, Clint's Mech encountered a huge burst of energy. He jumped to his feet and took off running as fast as his legs would let him. As he passed Baylon, he gently lifted her up and then ran into the distance even more frantically.
After this full power collision, the Red-White Mech's engine nearly exploded. He was already at the limit of his strength, his Mech almost collapsed after his battle against one of Blackboard's elites , so he didn't dare exert too much force at all.
And now a small Level One minnow had managed to escape from him, that really pissed him off.
Amidst the roar of the engine, he quickly set off in pursuit. The two Mechs, one after the other, disappeared into the night.
Half a month later.
Sitting in the academy's noisy dining hall, Garen frowned when he saw who was calling him.
"What, Baylon has disappeared?" he exclaimed as he glanced at his watch.
"Yes. We had always thought he worked as a full-time employee at that bakery.
He usually checked in with us every other week.
This time, when we called, they said he had gone home a long time ago. But we haven't even seen Lon in a long time!"
On the clock screen, Garen could see that his mother, Amy, had a worried look on her face.
"We've tried everything we could, but there were no results - now it's all up to you!"
Garen remembered the impression Lon had made on him. He was a shy, gentle, introverted guy, always had long hair and was the type who didn't dare raise his voice.
This type of person would not intentionally cut off all contact with his family.
Judging by his personality, something must have happened that prevented him from communicating with his home.
"And what about Dad?"
"He's still busy working on some things in his office, and he also has an urgent meeting this afternoon. He's probably getting ready for it now."
Amy looked extremely fatigued. "Recently, your grandmother got sick again and also has some problems with her leg, so your father is also busy taking care of her. Also..."
At this point, Amy's face was again full of worry.
"Plus what?"
"Besides, the police came by this morning to do an investigation. They say that your brother is somehow related to the terrorist attack case, so they had to come and do some investigations."
In a single day, her mother Amy had received so much bad news that surely her body was extremely affected.
"Terrorist? Did they mean White Light?"
Garen frowned. Since he had received Blue Narcissus' endorsement, his family's financial situation had improved greatly, but new problems had begun to arise one after another. At first, when he had chosen Nonosiva to transmigrate into his body, it was because the Soul Seed felt that he had a different aura from the others. However, after so long, there had still been no major change. On the contrary, now his brother Baylon had such a problem....
"Apparently it also had something to do with the bakery owner's younger brother. Now that the arrest warrants are in process, what should we do?
Your younger brother had to live a bitter and lonely life since he was young.... If anything were to happen to him..." as she spoke, their mother Amy began to sob intermittently.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll try to use my contacts to look into the matter." comforted Garen.
"Okay, I'll find someone to help me. I'll report back to you tonight."
"Okay, try to be as quick as possible! If anything should happen to your brother..."
Garen hung up and took a deep breath. The soul seed began to stir slightly. It looked like it was possibly something big this time.
After some thought, he began calling people in his network.
"Are you Celine? I need a favor, my brother might be in trouble. I have no idea of the circumstances, so can you help me look up some information? Okay, okay, okay, I'll invite you to dinner soon, bye."
"Vivienne, there's something I'd like you to help me look into. My brother is in trouble, he disappeared about half a month ago, okay, thanks!"
"Kendall, is Charm's Mercenary Troop available, can you have them investigate what's going on at my brother's side? Give them the mission to protect my little brother at all costs, of course, I mean now! Why do you think I pay them so much every month? Very well, thank you!"
After countless calls, Garen collapsed as he thought deeply. The nutritious food in front of him was only half finished, but his eating speed became slower and slower and suddenly stopped completely.
"What's wrong, is there a problem? I heard you make some phone calls earlier," a girl said and approached him. She was carrying a tray with a small portion of nutritious food and a glass of apple juice.
"Oh, it's Sofia." greeted her politely, though he still had a frown on his face.
Baylon had always seen him as her idol and aspiration. He was a kind boy who had given Garen, his older brother, a chance to go to school. Although Garen was not really his brother, since he occupied his brother's body, he at least had to do his part.
"Some problems have come up at home. My younger brother has gone missing."
"Looking for people is my specialty." nodded Sophia.
"If you don't mind, let me help you."
"Then I'll have no choice but to bother you." Garen didn't hold back.
It was natural to help each other with favors, this was part of human communication.
"It's no big deal. Wait for my update, I'll send you a report later tonight." smiled Sofia.
"Alright, enjoy your meal, I'll say goodbye first. I have some business to take care of at the academy."
Garen stood up and walked out of dining room.
