People are in Star Iron, and the game begins with the unsheathing of Heavenly Fire.

“This might not be foolishness, but rather a different kind of shrewdness,” Ron said slowly. “For them, this is how they maximize their profits.”

"Profits? What are those? Can they be converted into any concrete value?"

Black Tower glanced at Ron, feigning complete incomprehension. "To me, this space station, these experiments, this research are the only things of value."

"Including this child?" Ron pointed to Black Tower's sister, who was completely bewildered and couldn't understand their conversation.

“Yes, she is something I’m very interested in right now, so I will not allow anyone to interfere with the progress of this experiment.” Black Tower said confidently. “Now, as the father of this child, you’d better take responsibility properly, or I will never let you off the hook.”

"alright."

Ron nodded silently at Black Tower's statement.

Anyway, he himself had no objection to the matter of pretending to be his parents, so as long as Black Tower had no objection, he didn't care at all.

……

Main control cabin section.

Ron, Black Tower, and Black Tower's sister arrived here and immediately spotted Himeko, Hoshi, and March 7th gathered together in the distance.

"It's you? You damn doctor! You're still alive?!"

Upon seeing Ron, March 7 immediately showed a flustered expression and deliberately displayed a disdainful attitude.

In fact, after the crisis on the space station, she immediately looked for Ron on the personnel list, but she could not find any clues.

After all, this huge space station has at least tens of thousands of staff members. Finding a person's name is like finding SpongeBob SquarePants in the ocean, which is extremely difficult.

"What? Are you happy to see I'm still alive?"

"H-How is that possible?! I just think it's too easy for you to die at the hands of the antimatter legion."

March 7th turned its head away with a classic arrogant expression.

“So you two know each other.” Himeko smiled as she saw the two talking. “Hello, I’m Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train. This is March 7th, and the star… By the way, let me introduce you. This is the true owner of the space station, Genius Club #83, Black Tower.”

"Introduce me properly, why mention the club?" Black Tower said with a displeased look. "I have so many extraordinary achievements, which one doesn't sound better than #83?"

"Hehe, looks like you're still the same." Himeko nodded, then looked at Ron and his sister beside Black Tower, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who are these two?"

"Oh, one is a veterinarian, and the other is my daughter."

Black Tower calmly uttered words that made everyone's eyes widen.

"A daughter?!" Himeko and Mitsukishiro looked at Black Tower in shock. "You have a daughter?"

"What, is this so strange?" Black Tower glanced at the two of them indifferently. "Isn't it normal for a woman to have a daughter after she grows up? What's so surprising about it?"

"This... is indeed the case according to common sense..."

Himeko wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, unsure how to compose herself.

"Then, does this child have a father?" March 7th asked instinctively after the chaos subsided. "Ms. Black Tower's husband, he must be an incredibly capable and powerful person, right?"

"I wouldn't call it ability, but there is indeed such a person."

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Black Tower pointed indifferently at Ron beside him and slowly said, "This is the guy. He is the child's father."

Chapter 40 I am his ex-wife!

The platform for the main control section.

Black Tower's words left everyone present looking bewildered.

"Are you kidding me?"

March 7 was the first to react to this. She glanced at Black Tower, then at Ron, and couldn't understand what Black Tower had just said.

Is this veterinarian the child's father?

Does that mean he is actually Black Tower's husband?

Does he already have a wife?

"Ahem, I think there might be some misunderstanding about this."

Ron sighed and quickly explained.

He didn't expect Black Tower to give such a casual explanation; anyone would misunderstand such a statement.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Heita glanced at him with displeasure, her coquettish manner making her look like a wife dissatisfied with her husband's attitude to outsiders.

“You’re not wrong, but have you forgotten?” Ron said speechlessly, then whispered in the other’s ear, “If you said I was the child’s father and you were her mother, wouldn’t that mean we were husband and wife?”

"This……"

"You didn't just realize it now, did you?"

Seeing Black Tower's stunned expression, Ron finally realized why the other party had acted so calmly before.

It turns out that the other party had never considered the other layer of relationship behind the parents' relationship—the marital relationship.

Being Black Tower's sister's parents essentially means that he and Black Tower will become husband and wife in name only, which suddenly makes the relationship complicated.

He genuinely doesn't care about this at all, nor does he care about other people's opinions.

But for Black Tower, the owner of this space station, to suddenly have a companion is quite a shock to everyone.

Especially for the Black Tower itself.

"..."

At this moment, after hearing Ron's explanation, Black Tower finally realized the equivalent relationship chain.

There's nothing I can do; she's just so oblivious to these kinds of things.

After all, in the world of the Black Tower, everything is a formula and an equation.

She can solve mathematical problems that have remained unsolved for centuries in the shortest time, but she is not good at applying this kind of calculation to her feelings for others.

That's why, since she's the mother and Ron is the father, it's equivalent to her and Ron being husband and wife. She's only just realized this now.

"So what if we play...play husband and wife?" Black Tower seemed unwilling to be looked down upon by Ron, pouting as she spoke, "I don't care about this kind of thing at all."

"Is it?"

Ron saw the blush on Black Tower's face and immediately realized that the other was shy.

However, he didn't care at all.

For him, as long as Black Tower could fulfill the terms of the agreement, open the space station's laboratory to him, and introduce him to other members of the Genius Club, then there wouldn't be any major problems, let alone pretending to be a couple, or even actually becoming a couple.

Of course, Ron was referring to simply getting a marriage certificate and then nothing more.

He is someone who sells his art but not his body.

"that……"

While Black Tower and Ron were whispering to each other, everyone else at the scene was still reeling from the shocking news.

Himeko spoke first: "So you really have that kind of relationship?"

Her expression was quite confused when she said this, after all, Himeko had known Black Tower for a long time, and in a sense, the two were good friends.

For a long time, she believed that Black Tower, like herself, would never find a partner and would remain steadfastly devoted sisters...

But who would have thought that Black Tower had betrayed them without anyone noticing!

Even have children!

Doesn't this mean that older single men only have her?

"Ahem, well..."

Black Tower turned around stiffly.

Although she tried her best not to care about this fake relationship and was willing to sacrifice some of her reputation for the sake of the experiment, the thought of pretending to be husband and wife with this man she had just met still bothered her.

Suddenly, an indescribable sense of shame welled up from the bottom of her heart.

And it is completely independent of individual will.

Finally, facing everyone's gaze, she hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "I guess... I guess so."

"Really?"

These ambiguous words elicited a reaction from the crowd.

March 7th couldn't help but be the first to ask, "So you got married a long time ago, and your child is already this big, right?"

From the moment she saw Ron and Black Tower appear with Black Tower's sister, she felt inexplicably uneasy.

Hearing that Ron might be married and that his child looks about the same age as her, the young woman felt a strange sense of loss.

"But why don't you make this relationship public?"

Himeko seized on the flaw, and she couldn't accept the fact that her best friend had found happiness before her, so she wanted to verify the truth of it all.

In any case, she didn't want to be the only single clown!

"Well, because... because I'm his ex-wife!" Hei Ta hesitated for a long time before instinctively answering, "We're divorced, that's why we don't want to expose our relationship."

"what?"

Black Tower's words left March 7 and everyone else present completely bewildered, and even Ron was stunned on the spot.

He clearly hadn't expected that Black Tower would fabricate such an identity for its own experiments, which truly fooled everyone.

"Hey, did you guys hear that?"

"Really? Dr. Ron is actually Lady Black Tower's ex-husband?"

"My God, I had no idea that Ms. Black Tower had such a romantic history?"

"Is that child next to them their daughter? Lady Black Tower already has a daughter that big? That's unbelievable!"

"Could it be that they had a breakdown in their relationship before, and now they've simply gotten back together?"

"Dr. Ron was originally a scumbag who abandoned his wife and daughter, causing Ms. Black Tower a lot of pain. Now that they meet again, the spark of love has been rekindled... This seems quite reasonable."

"Wait a minute, why is this happening?! Ms. Black Tower already has an ex-husband and daughter? Does that mean I have no chance anymore?! No!!!"

Suddenly, all sorts of discussions arose at the scene, and all the staff of the Black Tower Space Station were stunned by this explosive news.
