Butler Joseph lowered his head slightly and replied in a steady tone,"Those two people said that someone was supposed to come to pick them up today. But until now, they haven't received any news from that person. It seems that the person who was supposed to pick them up has lost contact."
Hearing this, Reed couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this moment, No. 3 quietly moved closer and whispered in Reed's ear,"Young master, the logo on the silver flying car that crashed today seems to be the logo of the Lane Group."
Reed raised his eyebrows slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes,"What a coincidence?"
He thought to himself,"So the person who was supposed to pick them up lost contact because they died? What secrets does that robot and that bracelet hold that the Lane Group is chasing after them so relentlessly?"
Just then, the light brain screen of Butler Joseph suddenly lit up, and a faint blue light shone on his face.
After quickly reading the information, he said to Reed with a serious look,"Young master, the report on the research of the robot has come out.
That robot is the latest combat robot, MA-1, which is a new research and development achievement by Professor Kona.
Compared with the combat robots currently used by the military, its combat effectiveness has increased by more than 50%. It's quite a breakthrough.
It's a pity that it's now scrapped!"
Reed nodded slightly and murmured thoughtfully,"In that case, Professor Kona is the owner of that robot."
Although the original owner used to only care about eating, drinking, and having fun in the past and rarely paid attention to political and technological matters, Professor Kona was a famous genius scientist in the Silver Wing Kingdom, and her deeds were known to almost every household.
She successfully developed a new type of combat robot at the age of 14. Since then, she had been employed by the Lane Group and had updated and iterated the robots countless times in the past ten years.
All the combat robots currently used by the military of the Silver Wing Kingdom were developed under the leadership of Professor Kona.
Reed became even more confused, with numerous doubts lingering in his mind,"Then why on earth was she being chased by people from the Lane Group?
Could it be that Professor Kona discovered some extraordinary research?
Is this related to the bracelet on his own body?"
One question after another that urgently needed answers was swirling crazily in Reed's mind like a raging tide.
He just felt that his thoughts were getting more and more chaotic, as if he were in a mess and couldn't find a clue.
"Why did the original body live a smooth and carefree life here for over ten years, but as soon as I arrived, I had to face these complicated and messy problems?"
Reed sighed helplessly in his heart.
Fortunately, what happened in the Western Mountain that day had been completely blocked. Otherwise, given the power and means of the Lane Group, they might have already come directly to his residence by now.
Reed knew clearly in his heart that although his cheap father, whom he hadn't officially met yet, had absolute power in Calais City, compared to the enormous and deeply-rooted Lane Group, it was still dwarfed and couldn't be mentioned in the same breath.
Over the years, Vic had been able to firmly hold a high position in Calais City and live like a local despot. Besides his own ruthless and decisive means, the most crucial factor was the special geographical location of this place - Calais City was located at the southwesternmost tip of the Silver Wing Kingdom.
Going further southwest, there was the vast, mysterious and extremely dangerous uninhabited area, the Dark Abyss Forest.
In a sense, Calais City was no different from a place of exile, remote and isolated from the outside world.
Reed's eyes narrowed slightly. He tapped gently on the metal armrest and said in a cold voice,"Tell the people below to be careful and not make any mistakes. Also, find out clearly about Dr. Kona's matter. I want to know exactly what the Lane Group is looking for."
"Yes." Joseph bowed his head and nodded in response."By the way, young master, what should we do with those two people?"
"Useless trash, just kill them!" Reed blurted it out subconsciously.
After speaking, he realized belatedly that this did not quite match the style of the original owner.
Although the original owner was the eldest son, he had lost his mother at a young age and had been deliberately taught by his stepmother in such a way that he was somewhat ruined.
Apart from indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun, there was some cowardice and inferiority in his bones.
Originally, Vic had some expectations for him. But every time he wanted to show his abilities, his stepmother would deliberately interfere.
She would either interrupt him or sabotage his efforts.
After several such incidents, Vic thought that this eldest son was becoming more and more worthless.
That was why he stopped paying attention to this son.
Instead, he wholeheartedly cultivated his second son born to the stepmother.
Fortunately, his second son was still young. Otherwise, given the nature of his stepmother, she might have secretly killed the original owner long ago.
However, the castle was big enough. On ordinary days when Vic wasn't at home, he lived separately from his stepmother and stepbrother.
So those two didn't cause trouble in front of him.
Just as Reed was thinking about how to make up for it, he found that Butler Joseph was looking at him with a gratified expression.
What was going on?
Had Butler Joseph been scared silly?
"Young master, you've really made progress. You should be more decisive like this! Master will surely be very happy when he finds out!" Butler Joseph looked as if he was proud of a child growing up.
Hehe! As expected, he had overthought it!
Since he could become Vic's head butler, he couldn't be a soft-hearted person!
If those two people weren't killed, and if they were tracked down by the Lane Group in the future, they would become perfect handles.
He waved his hand to signal Butler Joseph to go and handle it.
Butler Joseph bowed and was about to take his leave when he suddenly paused and said with a smile,"Young master, if there's anything you want to eat in the future, just tell us directly. You don't have to follow Master's preferences all the time!"
In this way, he wouldn't have to ask the kitchen to deliberately prepare those foods that he liked but never took the initiative to eat every day.
It was really tiring!
Reed didn't quite understand what he meant at first.
It took him quite a while to realize belatedly that the original owner in his mind didn't actually like hamburgers.
The original owner, just like him, liked soybean milk and fried fritters.
It was Vic who liked hamburgers.
The original owner deliberately got closer to Vic's preferences in order to be closer to his father.
Heh, to be honest, the original owner really lived a rather wretched life.
Thinking about what Butler Joseph had just said, Reed's eyes lit up.
In that case, wouldn't he be able to stop deliberately imitating the original owner's behavior and habits?
If one could be oneself, who would want to go to great lengths to imitate others!
However, the original owner did have one redeeming feature, which was that he had never neglected physical exercise and training.
The fact that the original owner was killed by that robot in the Western Mountain that day wasn't because he was too weak.
It was because the combat effectiveness of that MA-1 robot was too powerful.
Even when he fought with that robot, he felt it was a struggle.
Moreover, that was a robot that had been seriously injured already. One could imagine that the person who could injure the MA-1 to that extent must be extremely powerful.
Thinking like this, Reed couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
He always had a feeling that this matter wouldn't end so quickly.
Just to be on the safe side, he still needed to improve the combat effectiveness of his current body.
