Hateful Woman
In the Universe Sea, in the Deep Sea Zone, at the exit of a truly mysterious realm developed by the Gates Family, a stout young man and a teenager appeared at the same time.
"Young Master, Mr. Miko, you've finally come out. You've been exploring this secret realm for a whole month. If you had been two days later, I really would have sent someone in to look for you." A butler with a gray beard came forward. His name was Ford, and he was Everett's adopted son. He used to assist Everett in managing all the affairs of the Gates Family and was now the Gates Family's chief butler.
"It's nothing, just a secret realm for Elementary Sequence True Gods. Miko and I have already reached Combat Strength level of Middle Sequence True God. As long as we don't encounter anyone with the Combat Strength of Fifth Sequence True God or higher, we can handle them independently. Even if we encounter someone with the strength of Fifth Sequence True God, the two of us working together are enough to fight them." After three years of cultivation, Fa Te is no longer the timid and cowardly short and fat man he used to be. He is now nearly 1.9 meters tall, and although he is still obese, this form is just to disguise himself and play the fool.
The biggest difference from three years ago is that he has grown Kou Zi Hu. Although he is not even twenty years old, the beard makes him look ten years older. In his words, he now looks more mature, more masculine, and more attractive to girls.
Miko is no longer the shy little boy he was three years ago. At thirteen, he has officially entered puberty and his voice has grown significantly. Three years ago, he was just a skinny little guy, but now he is already 1.6 meters tall, with a slender figure and handsome looks. In a few more years, if he grows even taller and his hair grows a bit longer, he will probably become a handsome man on par with Scarlet, making countless girls swoon.
Over the past few years, he not only did not slacken in his cultivation, but also learned all sorts of knowledge from the various teachers invited by Fa Te. Moreover, with his terrifying intelligence and Gambiter skills, he also became an honorary guest of the Gates Family.
Over three years, he successfully tailored several large-scale investment plans for the Gates Family, helping them weather numerous economic shocks from other major families. He also dealt a severe blow to the Koch Family Gates Family skillfully thwarted the Filler Family in several projects, allowing the Gates Family to fully recover from their previous setbacks. This solidified their position as the second richest family in the Universe Sea. Even the Filler Family, after several blows, disappeared from the scene, no longer daring to act rashly against the Gates Family. The Koch Family, on the other hand, completely declined, almost falling out of the ranks of top-tier families.
Although Miko was young, no one in the Gates Family dared to underestimate him. All of this was earned through his own talent. Even the butler, Ford, addressed him respectfully as "Sir."
"Young Master, this exploration of the secret realm has lasted so long, you must have gained quite a bit?" Ford asked with a smile, he could tell that Fa Te and Miko spirits.
"This is an ancient secret realm, and its owner was an ancient apothecary. It took us some time to record and translate her notes. However, the effort was worthwhile because one of the prescriptions she recorded could potentially cure Miko's eyes. It's just that some of the medicinal ingredients are quite special and may not be found in the Universe Sea," Fa Te explained with a hint of regret.
"It's okay. Gu Ding will be back in a little over three months. Then we can go into the Great Universe Sea together and look for him." Miko didn't feel discouraged at all. The more he thought about how close the three-year deadline Gu Ding had agreed to was, the happier he became.
"The captain probably wouldn't even recognize us now," Fa Te chuckled, patting his belly. "Three years have passed; Lily and the others must have changed a lot. I'm really looking forward to seeing them again soon."
Due to Federal Government restrictions and the absence of the Sea Emperor, messages exchanged between Liliath and her group were blocked by SkyNet. Therefore, over the past few years, they haven't been very familiar with each other's lives, only occasionally seeing news reports of who got into trouble or did something. However, such reports have become increasingly rare since the disbandment of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew.
The Universe Sea, Undersea Forbidden Zone, a special training base in a certain subordinate space.
A young man, about two meters tall, with a buzz cut, stood proudly. He was shirtless, revealing his incredibly well-defined muscles, and his body was covered with all sorts of scars, numbering in the hundreds.
His strikingly sculpted features, a full head of dark gold beard, and a three-centimeter-long Scarface below his left eye made him look incredibly fierce.
He stretched out one hand, and in his palm, a purple-gold throwing knife floated and spun automatically. "Robert, help me practice my agility again today. I'll only use one throwing knife; today you try using three Light Speed Gun."
"Alright, but there's one condition: you can't leave any scars on your body if I injure you." Opposite the young man stood a blonde beauty, easily 1.8 meters tall, with a perfect face and figure. She wore silver armor, exuding a heroic aura.
"But as I said, every time I lose, no matter who the opponent is, I will leave a scar so that I will remember it. In the past three years, I have challenged countless strong opponents, and now it is becoming increasingly difficult to find an opponent. It is also because of this method that I am motivated to keep improving." The young man still persisted.
"No scars allowed. I don't want the captain to come back and ask about your scars, only to find out that I left them on you. We're partners; the captain will be upset if he knows I hurt you," Robert explained earnestly.
"Then I'll find someone else. Anyway, this is a branch settlement of your Mechanical Race, and there are quite a few other powerful individuals here." Dokter was still unwilling to break his own rules.
"Don't go after anyone else! Other Mechanical Race don't have human emotions, they don't know their own limits, you'll be killed." Robert blocked Dokter's path.
"I knew I shouldn't have taken you around to study human behavior these past few years. Now you're becoming more and more like a woman, it's such a hassle..." Dokter said somewhat displeased.
"Are we partners?" Robert asked abruptly.
"Of course." Dokter couldn't give a negative answer to this.
"The captain said that comrades should take care of each other. What you're doing is extremely irresponsible and will only harm yourself. So, this time you have to listen to me. I'll practice with you, and we can't leave any scars! If you don't agree, I'll have to use the moves Liliath taught me..." Robert looked at Dokter very seriously.
"That brat Liliath actually taught you that move!!!" Dokter yelled indignantly. "That wretched woman!"
"Give me your answer now!" Robert continued coldly.
"Alright..." Dokter for a long time, finally lowering his proud head. (To be continued~^~)
