“Uncle, one of the kids in our class is going to have a birthday. Do you want to eat cake? Ningning will take you to have cake.”
The little child extended an invitation to his uncle, saying,
“It’s his birthday tomorrow. After we finish our exams, we’re going to his
house to have cake.”
The parents took the birthdays of the kindergarten children
seriously.
Having attended several birthday parties, the little child
enjoyed celebrating birthdays. When he had attended them before, he brought his
dad and Uncle Ling Qi as well.
But he had never brought his uncle before!
An Nuo rubbed the little child’s head, not giving a definite
answer.
“Let’s decide tomorrow.”
An Nuo coaxed the little child. “There’s a Mecha test tomorrow,
Ningning. Do you want to try on your new Mecha?”
The little child hesitated for a moment. “Okay.”
His previous rainbow little Mecha couldn’t be repaired, but
luckily his dad painted his new Mecha rainbow-colored too. However, the little
child hadn’t become proficient with the new rainbow little Mecha yet.
With the Mecha on, the little child walked proudly back and
forth in the yard.
After walking in the yard for a while, the little child felt
that he wasn’t showing off enough. He called for his uncle and went to the
street at the entrance.
“Uncle, am I cool?”
“Cool.”
In his cool rainbow Mecha, the little child even imitated
several moves his teachers had taught him to make himself cooler.
Seeing the impressive little child in his rainbow Mecha, An
Nuo felt somewhat content.
Putting aside the head-banging stuff, the little child looked
quite cool.
“Uncle, Ningning wants to play a fighting game.”
“Your dad is still cleaning up. You can play with him after
he’s done.”
Zhan Xi was tidying up the yard, and Ling Qi was making
pastries.
At the moment, An Nuo was the only one accompanying the
little child to play, but An Nuo’s body couldn’t keep up with playing a
“fighting game.” During the time he had been living here, his health had
improved a lot compared to before.
Zhan Xi, Ling Qi, and the little child all had the habit of supervising
him while he ate.
In this short period of time, An Nuo had gained several
pounds.
When he was video chatting with Raphael, he mentioned that he
had gained weight, but the little child didn’t think so at all.
The little child patted his uncle’s belly and emphasized
seriously, “Not fat!”
In fact, the belly like the one the little child had was
what’s considered chubby.
“Never mind.”
Seeing the little child playing alone was quite lonely for An
Nuo. He stood up, picked up a stick at random, and said, “Uncle will play with
you.”
Before the big and the small could start playing, someone
approached from not far away.
It was a man supporting a pregnant woman. The pregnant
woman’s belly was quite big, as if she was about to give birth. When they got
close enough to An Nuo, which was just a few steps away, they spoke, “My wife
is a bit tired. Can we rest here for a moment?”
An Nuo looked at the pregnant woman and said, “Hmm.”
Seeing this, the man smiled gratefully at An Nuo. However,
before he could approach, the little child curiously walked over.
“Auntie, are you carrying a little baby?”
The little child had never seen a pregnant woman before, and
he was a bit curious, so he bent his little head to get a better look.
The man looked at the little Mecha the little child was
wearing, and his brow furrowed. “The Mecha you’re wearing is too dangerous. If
you accidentally bump into my wife—”
“Ningning won’t bump into the little baby.”
The little child inside the rainbow-colored Mecha explained a
bit unhappily, “Ningning’s Mecha is very stable!”
The Mecha that Grandpa Ram personally made for him wouldn’t
let him fall easily.
This small Mecha, apart from its good stability, also had
various other functions.
The little child looked at the auntie’s belly for a while,
then suddenly reached out and touched her belly.
“There’s no little baby.”
The little child’s hand had already touched her clothes, and
his words instantly shocked the man.
The next second.
Both the man and his “pregnant” wife’s faces changed, and the
man reached over the Mecha, trying to grab An Nuo.
An Nuo stepped back slightly with an unchanged expression,
“Ningning, how about we play a fighting game?”
The Mecha personally created by Ram had a mode for battling
against adults.
The little child got beaten up the last time he wore a Mecha
to fight. After Ram found out, he had a serious expression and directly
upgraded and modified the new Mecha.
When the little child used it normally, it didn’t have
significant killing power, just like a regular young child Mecha. However, once
it detected an attack from an adult, the Mecha switched to a combat mode
designed for fighting adults, and the attack mode was quite powerful.
Under the instruction of his uncle, the little child pressed
a button.
Shortly after...
The Mecha, resembling a projectile, began attacking the
adults in front of it.
Not far away...
Two teams of people watched this scene, their faces
increasingly distressed: “His Majesty ordered us to protect Mr. An Nuo, we must
obey.”
The other team didn’t let them move: “We don’t need you to
intervene now. Our Majesty—our leader has already gone ahead.”
The people sent by Ludwig had been secretly protecting An
Nuo. From the last time An Nuo was followed when he went out, to the strange
encounters that Zhan Xi and Ling Qi had, to this instance of a strange man and
a pregnant woman approaching, Ludwig knew everything very clearly.
And he wasn’t the only one who knew; Raphael from the Sixth
Planet and Twain from the Federation knew everything as well.
These people weren’t fools. Ever since An Nuo’s exposure,
they knew that there would always be someone willing to take a risk.
But who would be the first to take that risk, the first to
dare to take the first step…
They had to wait patiently.
They also needed the first one to step forward, to establish
their dominance.
“Don’t stop us! You protect Mr. An Nuo. We’ll take care of
these two individuals. They’re a threat to the child!”
The elite guards sent by Ludwig were from the imperial
family, and they were familiar with the chubby child who often visited the
palace.
Watching the chubby child fighting two against one, how could
these guards not be anxious?
But the people from the Sixth Planet were tricky; they
deliberately blocked the way, preventing anyone from passing through. The two
teams were in a cooperative relationship, so they couldn’t create any conflict
just to save face.
The imperial guards were practically driven to frustration by
these people.
And the ‘leader’, who these people from the Sixth Planet had
referred to, was right at the front, wearing a thin metallic mask on his face, closely
observing the spectacle from up close.
Although the little chubby kid’s Mecha had been reinforced,
he still struggled when facing two opponents. He panted heavily, tired and
stubborn, as he stood in front of his uncle, protecting him like a young knight.
“Uncle, can you... can you call Dad?”
The chubby kid, who was finding it a bit difficult to fight,
called for help from his uncle on the sidelines.
Upon hearing this, An Nuo’s gaze didn’t shift towards the
house, but rather to the left.
He furrowed his brows slightly, and in the next moment, a
masked man walked over leisurely. The man spoke in a mechanical tone, “Do you
need assistance here?”
Chubby kid: “!”
The chubby kid nodded quickly, “Yes, we do!”
The man with the mechanical voice continued, “If you want me
to help, what should you say to me?”
Chubby kid: “...”
A light bulb seemed to light up in the chubby kid’s head. He
knew the answer to this one!
With confidence, the chubby kid exclaimed towards the masked
man, “Uncle, save me, please! I’m begging you!”
After a moment’s thought, the chubby kid even played his
“good person” card, “Uncle, you’re a good person!”
For the first time, a man who was told he’s a good person by
the chubby kid revealed a satisfied smile beneath his mask.
In less than two minutes, the two adults who had been
struggling against the little child were thrown to the ground like trash by the
masked man, unfolding one over the other.
The masked man glanced at a distance.
A few seconds later...
These two individuals were taken away. The people who took
them away didn’t utter a word throughout the process, as if they were NPCs who
only performed tasks without speaking.
The little child became a bit anxious. “They took the bad
guys away.”
“Yeah, they’re Ludwig’s people.”
With just one sentence from the masked man, the little
child’s worried heart was put at ease.
The little child looked at the tall masked man, who wore a
golden mask. The mask was shimmering gold, quite appealing to the eye.
The chubby kid gazed at it for a while, unable to resist
asking, “Your, your mask, is it made of gold?”
Masked man: “...”
How was that possible?
It’s just gold-plated. If it weren’t for adding prestige to
his presence when he came here, he wouldn’t even be willing to gold-plate it.
“Well, it’s made of gold.”
The masked man casually replied and continued to use a
mechanical voice to communicate with the little chubby kid, coaxing the other
to praise him.
The chubby kid sized him up. After losing his fear of the bad
guy, his brain started working a bit more flexibly. The more he looked, the
more familiar this masked uncle seemed to the little child.
“Uncle, can you take off your mask?”
“No, I can’t.”
Seeing that the chubby kid was becoming suspicious, the
masked man turned his face slightly and shifted his attention to An Nuo. The
gaze beneath the mask stared at An Nuo. Before he could speak, An Nuo had
already walked over and touched his mask.
Someone beneath the mask: “...”
That person froze instantly.
An Nuo wasn’t here to remove the mask; he wanted to touch it.
After touching the mask, which was only thinly gold-plated on the surface, a
touch of helplessness crossed his eyes.
“Come in.”
An Nuo didn’t intend to reveal his face under the mask here.
Watching the unfamiliar masked uncle being led home by his
uncle, and the masked uncle even taking advantage to touch his uncle’s hand,
the little child in the back was completely distressed.
Although the little child didn’t really like his aunt but,
but now he had an aunt!
There were regulations in the Empire. One person couldn’t
marry several people!
The somewhat anxious little child rushed forward, headbutted
the masked uncle, and then grabbed his uncle’s hand on his own.
“Ningning!”
The little child declared sovereignty: “You go hold your
wife’s hand, don’t steal Ningning’s uncle.”
The person who was already holding his wife’s hand: “?”
