"It's flying! It's flying!"

The next morning, Otto, taking advantage of the favorable wind conditions, forcefully launched the finished kite into the sky.

"Look! It really flew! My Lord God!"

At this moment, Otto was as excited as a child—well, she was a child now.

Regardless, looking at the innocence and excitement on Otto's face, Liu Bai felt a strangely complicated feeling.

Look at the values displayed on the system.

Compatibility: 80%

The next moment, another jump, 83%.

Liu Bai's eyelids twitched along with this number.

Mommy, isn't your growth rate a bit off?

"My Lord God, how far do you think it can fly?"

"If we don't hit anything... at least a hundred meters?"

Liu Bai stroked his chin and estimated.

89%

"..."

Liu Bai looked at Otto, whose eyes lit up at the words "at least 100 meters," and was momentarily at a loss for words.

Although the object of his affections was Otto, Liu Bai still couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Although he neither deceived nor trafficked...

Call--!

The sudden sound of wind breaking behind him made Liu Bai subconsciously activate his evil spirit.

A sharp stone grazed the side of the kite as it flew past.

The kite swayed slightly, but still maintained its flying posture.

"Whispering sound..."

Some arrogant and displeased voices rang out, clearly indicating that the other side was disappointed at failing to shoot down the plane.

"He's doing something pointless again."

A blond youth, slightly older Otto, looked down at Otto with an arrogant and disdainful expression.

After being disturbed, the kite actually flew wobbly over the wall.

Upon seeing this, Otto immediately tried to grab him.

But... how high is the wall? How tall is Otto now?

Otto had never learned skills like climbing trees or walls, couldn't climb even half a meter, even using both his hands and feet, and ended up with his hands covered in mud.

"Hmph, don't waste your time. Your health is so poor, you're lucky to be alive."

The blond youth made another sarcastic remark, but as soon as he finished speaking, Otto and the youth saw the kite sway back and land right at Otto's feet.

"..."

"..."

The scene became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Liu Bai, who did all these things, didn't care at all.

So what if it's not scientifically sound? We're just taking advantage of you illiterate bunch!

To put it another way, Lao Tzu is unscientific, but very theological, right?

"Tch... Wouldn't it be better for someone like you to just obediently wait to become a political pawn for the family..."

The young man said this unhappily and then turned and left.

Political leverage also has its advantages—even if they dislike Otto, they might only make sarcastic remarks, but they would never actually take action.

Otto breathed a sigh of relief and immediately bent down to pick up the kite.

—Compared to his brother, Otto cared more about kites.

After all, Otto was already used to this kind of verbal abuse.

Anyway, she's a girl and in poor health, so even if she's being scolded, her personal safety is definitely not a problem.

After all, if word got out that someone had bullied their sickly younger sister, they would lose all face.

On the contrary, it is the kites that Otto should worry about more.

This was the result of her and "the Lord God's " hard work all night.

"Um... thank you..."

After checking the kite and finding it intact, Otto thanked him in a low voice.

Her brother may not have a brain, but she certainly does.

Whose kite can fly back against the wind?

In this situation, a little thought will tell you who to thank.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid... I'm afraid the kite would have crashed long ago."

Otto was halfway through his story when he suddenly realized that Liu Bai was also responsible for the kite's survival.

After all, his brother was a "knight," so how could his stone possibly go so far astray?

—The knights of this era actually refer to Valkyrie.

However, due to the control of the three major families, the number of "male Valkyries" in this era was actually about the same as that of Valkyrie.

Of course, there is absolutely no comparison in terms of quality—namely, the Kaslana family.

Kevin's genes are indeed a great asset in combat.

However, on the other hand, among the three families, the Apocalypse Family, which represents the "bishops," is completely unsuitable for combat.

Liu Bai seriously doubted that Otto's two older brothers combined couldn't beat Kallen now...

"Nothing."

Liu Bai didn't care about this—then he took a moment to glance at the system.

[Compatibility: 101%]

The rate of growth has become so fast that the system has stopped reporting it—the system probably feels that continuing to report it would be considered spamming.

At the same time, a small white head peeked out from the wall.

"Heave-ho..."

Chapter 237 Two Little Ones with a Strong Sense of Déjà Vu

A small head with white hair peeked out from above the wall.

Were you two arguing just now?

As she spoke, the white-haired little girl used her arm strength to easily sit on the top of the wall, looking down at Otto.

Girl, don't you know that your posture makes people want to tug at you?

Liu Bai looked at Kallen sitting on the wall and silently complained to himself.

"... No, no, you should leave quickly. This is Apo... uh, Kaslana?"

Looking at the other person's silver hair, Otto suddenly thought of something.

"That's right, my name is Kallen Kaslana!"

That genius of the Kaslana family... the youngest daughter of Francis Kaslana, the 29th head of the Kaslana family.

The name was so famous among the three families that even Otto, who lived deep within the mansion, often heard it.

Although they were both the youngest daughters in their families, their fates did not overlap.

Kallen Kaslana is destined to become the head of the Kaslana family, but she is merely a political pawn for the Apocalypse Family's future.

Thinking about this, Otto felt utterly bored.

"My name is Otto Apocalypse."

Otto simply nodded as a greeting, then turned and left.

In her opinion, the other person would forget her name soon enough.

... Hopefully, this won't cause any trouble.

However, not everyone is as sensible as Otto is now.

Seeing Otto prepare to turn and leave, Kallen suddenly became anxious.

She came here because she saw something fun, but now that the other person is gone, who will she play with?

Thinking of this, Kallen immediately jumped down from the wall.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"... Why did you jump down?"

Otto's eyes twitched as he looked at the reckless Kallen.

But seeing Kallen jump down unharmed, Otto couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"What if my brothers or father find out..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, even if your two older brothers gang up on me, they can't beat me."

Kallen waved her hand dismissively—a gesture that inexplicably reminded Liu Bai of Kevin.

The Kaslana family even seems to have passed down this carefree, easygoing personality...

Otto, on the other hand, was completely exasperated.

Is it really okay for you to tell your sister to beat up her brother?

Um... that's pretty good too?

Otto couldn't help but laugh at the thought of his two older brothers being beaten by Kallen, who was about the same age as him.

However, Otto had learned self-control after being treated with indifference for so long, still managed to hold back.

"What's with that 'I'm about to laugh' look on your face?"

"Does it...?"

Otto patted his face.

"The Kaslana family has pretty good intuition," Liu Bai said to Otto in the private chat channel, "Sometimes you don't need logic, you can judge right and wrong just by intuition... In a way, that's a trait that schemers hate."

Was it just intuition?

Otto also felt that this ability was a bit unreasonable.

"By the way, didn't I think His Excellency the Bishop was quite kind?"

"My father... was he kind?"

Otto heard an unexpected comment from Kallen, but Otto quickly understood.

His father was probably already thinking about how to win over the future patriarch of the Kaslana family... perhaps through marriage—at this moment, Otto was completely unaware that he possessed a political acumen far beyond that of a 13-year-old child.

"... Kallen, you'd better not get too close to His Holiness the Bishop."

"Why do you say the same things as my dad..." Kallen rolled her eyes in a complaining tone. "Okay, okay... let's talk about something interesting."

"Interesting?"

Otto tilted his head.

What do you mean?

"Of course it's that paper bird in your hand that can fly! How about you fly it again?" Kallen stared at Otto with her bright, sparkling eyes.
