Beng Tie: What does it mean to broaden one's four destinies in one sentence?

"This is for Uncle! When Uncle is unhappy, he can box! Brother Luca said that when you box, you shouldn't think about anything, and you'll be happy afterward!"

Scott looked down at the small boxing glove in his hand for a long time.

Hook has already run away.

The door was open, and her cheerful footsteps and chattering voice could be heard in the hallway.

"Julian! Look! Hook has borrowed the gloves!"

"Wow! No wonder it's the jet-black Hook! But it's so small! Can it really be used?"

"Of course it can be used! Hook wants to become a strongman like Luca! Let's go! Let's practice boxing!"

"it is good!"

The sound faded into the distance.

Scott stood in the doorway, looking down the corridor.

The boxing gloves in his hand were so light and small that he could hold them completely in one hand.

He looked down at it, then looked up at the portrait on the wall.

Silent for a long time.

Then he turned back to the table, picked up the communicator on the table, and pressed a button.

"Dr. Digging".

"Yes, boss."

"Call Luca back."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator.

"okay."

Scott put down the communicator, sat back in his chair, and placed his gloves on the corner of the table.

He glanced at the portrait on the wall again.

The little girl in the portrait is holding up a small sword made from scrap metal, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"you're right."

His voice was very soft, as if he were talking to someone.

"A madman who can't see reality."

He chuckled and shook his head.

Not long after, Luca pushed the door open and came in.

"Boss Scott?"

Scott didn't look at him; he was still staring at the portrait on the wall.

How many people do you need?

Luca was taken aback.

"boss?"

"I'm asking you how many people you need."

Scott's voice sounded somewhat impatient.

Luca paused for a second, then smiled.

"The more the better."

Scott finally turned around and glanced at him.

"I have 123 people here, but less than 40 of them are capable fighters."

He paused.

"It's all yours."

Luca was stunned.

"boss?"

"Don't call me boss anymore."

Scott stood up, leaned on his cane, and walked to the door, his back to Luca.

"My old wife once said to me before she passed away, 'You're a good person in every way, except you're too shrewd. In the end, you have nothing left.'"

He was silent for a while.

“I think she’s right.”

He turned around and looked at Luca.

"So this time, I'll also play the role of a madman who can't see reality clearly."

Luca looked at him, at this shrewd old man who had been wise for half his life, and at this moment there was a light in his eyes that Luca had never seen before.

"Thank you, boss."

"Don't thank me,"

Scott waved his hand.

"I trust your judgment to get all of you from Earthfire to support her, but if that Miss Bronya is unreliable, Earthfire will pay the wages of all of us."

"I have only one request."

Luca was taken aback.

"What are your requirements? Please tell me."

"Let the children of the lower districts see the sky over Belleburg again!"

Chapter 54: Just One Step Away from the Truth?

The creation engine stopped.

Its 800-meter-tall body stands silently on the snowfield, like a silent mountain.

Lin Si sat on its shoulder, her legs dangling in mid-air, swaying back and forth.

It was tiring, but it was really exhilarating.

He looked up at the moon over Belleburg.

Strangely enough, even though the world had been shrouded in snow and wind for seven hundred years, the moon remained large and round. The clear moonlight shone down, illuminating the entire snowfield.

"Little Core."

He spoke, his tone as casual as if he were chatting with a friend.

Why do you call me uncle?

He had been thinking about this problem for quite a while.

Just ask directly; using platitudes is too much trouble.

The star core bounced on his shoulder, its light flashing a few times, as if it were deep in thought.

"I don't know, Uncle."

Its voice carried a sense of entitlement.

"The moment I saw you, I felt like you were my uncle, just like when I first saw Aunt Xingxiao."

Lin Si raised an eyebrow.

It's Star Howl again.

He must have heard that name somewhere before.

Never mind, let's get down to business first.

"My current body is that of a woman."

He looked down at himself; Bronya's body, gray hair in three ponytails, and a certain amount of weight in her chest.

Why don't you call me aunt?

The star core's light paused for a moment, as if it were looking at something.

"But Uncle, your soul is male."

Its tone was very serious.

"The soul is the essence of a person."

Lin Si: "......."

He was silent for a long time.

The moonlight shone on his face, and the wind blew past his ears, carrying the unique chill of the snowfield.

He didn't speak, but just stared at the silhouette of Belleberg in the distance.
