I became Superman

Chapter 90 Confident Edward

"Mr. Edward, is there any progress?"

Liu Xi entered the room that had been specially arranged for Edward.

Edward sat in the room filled with messy documents, deep in thought and struggling with his thoughts.

In front of him was a thick leather-bound notebook, with an antique and dignified style, densely covered with text.

An old-fashioned quill pen was placed next to it.

Aside from dedicated vintage enthusiasts, nobody uses this kind of pen anymore.

Seeing Edward's conflicted expression, Liu Xi knew things weren't going well, and he asked, "Are you in trouble?"

'

Edward said, "Strange trouble."

Liu Xi smiled and said, "Sir, there is no need to be discouraged. That person is terrifyingly powerful, so it is understandable that he cannot work for the time being."

In order to help Edward gather information, Liu Xi spent the last two days reviewing all of Zhou Ming's materials. He also approached Zi Zhang and Liu Yi, who had personally contacted Zhou Ming, and subtly inquired about some details.

The information he received secretly alarmed him.

Zhou Ming killed the Great Celestial Venerable, but this did not frighten him too much.

He can also kill the Great Celestial Venerable.

If the information revealed by Ke Zizhang and Liu Yi is true, then this person is terrifying.

If we exclude the ancient gods, in the current world, perhaps only his father is his rival.

So he suddenly lost faith in Edward.

Edward glanced at him, knowing exactly what he was thinking, and chuckled, "Your Highness has backed down?"

Liu Xi smiled and said, "Not at all, I'm just afraid that something might happen to you, sir."

Edward said, "That man is indeed difficult to deal with."

He looked puzzled and said, "Moreover, his difficulty is different from other powerful individuals."

"The more powerful the outcast, the more resistant he is to my storyline, and the more I need to spend years writing to penetrate his destiny."

"This person is different. He doesn't resist my storyline; rather, my storyline passes right through him. He's like a void, unaffected by anything, and cannot be influenced by anything."

Liu Xi said, "If that's the case, then we can't deal with it?"

Edward smiled smugly and said, "If this were all I had to offer, how could I boast before His Highness?"

"For us novelists, the most effective way to convey meaning is actually through indirect description rather than direct portrayal."

"If he himself cannot be depicted, then depict the environment around him."

"Once his surroundings are all blurred into my writing, where can he run to?"

Liu Xi forced a smile and said, "Mr. Edward's skills are superb."

Edward glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid His Highness's visit today isn't just about this, is it?"

The eldest prince, Liu Xi, smiled and said, "Mr. Edward is my honored guest, and it is not proper for me to do this, but this is also for his sake."

"My father may return to the capital at any time. If he finds out that you are here, it will be inconvenient. So I think it would be better to ask you to leave the capital and find a suitable place to carry out your work."

"Of course, sir, you can rest assured that I will continue to collect the information you need and send it to you."

Edward sneered inwardly.

This guy doesn't believe he can succeed, so he wants to get rid of me to avoid dragging me down with him.

He had originally wanted to find a quiet place to focus on his work, but since Liu Xi seemed to want to get rid of him, he naturally wouldn't insist on keeping him. As long as Liu Xi kept his promise and continued to send him the materials, he didn't necessarily have to stay in Shenjing.

Once he successfully incorporates this terrifyingly powerful figure into his writing, he will truly become the strongest person on this planet, even surpassing the emperor.

Then he would make Liu Xi know the consequences of underestimating him today.

When Zhou Ming returned home from the Southwest headquarters, he heard a bossy voice coming from next door, followed by Yi Jiahui grumbling as she moved the items.

He gently pushed the door and found it was unlocked.

Yi Jiahui is moving her beloved cat tree.

In the center of the room, Kusaka's mother stood with her right hand on her hip and her left hand giving instructions. Kusaka sat huddled on the sofa, looking lonely, weak, and pitiful.

"senior."

Upon seeing Zhou Ming, Yi Jiahui was initially delighted, but then let out a pitiful cry.

Zhou Ming's eyes flashed, and a ripple swept across Cao Ying's mother.

Cao Ying's mother's body went limp, and she fainted on the floor.

A loud shouting suddenly came from the room.

Zhou Ming said, "Don't worry, she just fainted temporarily, she's fine. We can have some peace and quiet now."

.

Yi Jiahui finally breathed a sigh of relief and put Cao Ying's mother on the sofa.

Cao Ying said aggrievedly, "Sister Cat, I'm sorry. I'll take Mom back tomorrow when her injury is better."

Yi Jiahui said angrily, "Why go back? If you go back, who knows how she'll bully you!"

"You're too weak. Where's your usual cleverness? You should fight back!"

Kusaka muttered, "How can I resist? She's my mother, and it really wasn't easy for her to raise me all by herself."

Zhou Ming glanced at Yi Jiahui and laughed, "You expect others to resist? You were being ordered around doing this and that just now, why didn't you resist then?"

Yi Jiahui's face immediately turned red, and she said gesticulating wildly, "How can that be the same? She's Cao Ying's mother, of course I have to be more polite to her."

Listen to this, is this even reasonable?

Zhou Ming shook his head with amusement and looked at Cao Ying. The girl looked listless and had completely lost her usual cheerful and lively demeanor.

He said, "Your memory has been artificially shaped, not in the way that psychoanalysts do, but in the way that many bad parents often use, by nagging and emphasizing false information."

"What do you mean she raised you? You were discovered by the Alien Center when you were eight years old and started receiving subsidies from them. How could she, a woman who doesn't work and plays cards at home every day, have raised you?"

"Before that, it was the compensation money from your father's death that supported our household expenses. You can't just accept whatever she says. You're the one supporting her, not the other way around."

This was the first time Kusaka had ever heard such words.

Her other friends were not without their own understanding of these things, but the new Han Empire still upheld traditional ethical relationships.

The parent-child relationship has a sacred quality.

Her friends ultimately couldn't bring themselves to do anything to damage the mother-daughter relationship, even though it wasn't a healthy one.

But Zhou Ming didn't have this concern, partly because he didn't have the sacred concept of parent-child relationships.

The sanctity of the parent-child relationship should gradually form through intimate interaction, rather than being innate.

Secondly, he doesn't care about any ethical rules.

He only follows the rules he sets for himself.

Seeing that Cao Ying seemed somewhat frightened by these words, Zhou Ming said, "You need to realize one thing: a mother may not love you, and not all parents in this world love their children."

"It's a hard truth to swallow, but it helps you break free from an unhealthy relationship and pursue your own life instead of always carrying the burden of other people's lives."

"Of course, what I say may not be true. If you'd like, I can help you verify it."
