Robin Is Attacked. / The Swimming Dragon Sets Off Fireworks.

"We'll combine the two then..."

Just as Gwen's thoughts were drifting further and further away, a rhythmic knocking on the door interrupted his reverie.

"Please come in."

Gwen could tell the person's identity just from the sound of the knocking, said casually.

"Excuse me, Gwen, this is today's lunch."

Rita, dressed in a tasteful black and white maid outfit that accentuated her beautiful curves while concealing her mature and voluptuous figure, pushed a food cart into Gwen's "workshop" and said with a smile.

"I told you not to be so polite to me..."

Gwen casually remarked and helped Rita bring the sumptuous lunch to the table.

"Since you're here, let's eat together..."

"This is prepared for you. Rita can serve you."

Rita smiled slightly and stood beside Gwen.

The next moment, Rita's slender hand, clad in a black silk glove, was grabbed, and Gwen pulled her to sit down beside him—

"I can only enjoy this meal in a good mood with Rita by my side."

"In that case, Rita will gladly accept..."

Upon hearing this, Rita's lips curled into a smile, and she no longer resisted. She accepted the cutlery Gwen offered and began to eat with Gwen.

Although she had expected it, the maid still felt a surge of joy and sweetness in her heart.

However, when Gwen asked Rita about the progress of the Stigmata experiment she was involved in after lunch and about Rita's progress, Rita seemed somewhat distracted.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Rita's appearance, Gwen frowned.

What could make Rita look like this...?

"Has something happened outside?"

"No, the world is peaceful now, and there are even fewer Honkai events."

Rita shook her head repeatedly, but finally made up her mind and poured out the words that had been weighing on her heart for so long to the person in front of her—

"Gwen, Rita's emotional turmoil that day... put you in a difficult position. Please punish me..."

"What?"

Gwen was taken aback, having no idea what Rita was talking about.

"That is..."

Seeing Gwen's undisguised confusion, Rita felt a little relieved and slowly revealed what it was about.

After hearing Rita's account, Gwen breathed a huge sigh of relief.

It turns out that Rita was in a Gwen because she had caused trouble for Raven after seeing Raven and laughing with Gwen.

After being comforted by Gwen that night, Rita's emotions dissipated, and she felt a sense of relief.

However, upon reflection, the maid realized that she seemed to have failed in her duty as a maid, and might even be considered a jealous woman by Gwen. She struggled with this for a long time, and only today did she finally decide to tell Gwen about it.

"Rita, you're so cute when you're being serious..."

Looking at that alluring face tinged with a hint of guilt, Gwen couldn't help but smile, his finger gently flicking the beauty's delicate nose—

"Could it be that spending too much time with Bianca has made him stupid too, like he's caught her bad habits..."

"Hearing your words will sadden Lord You Lan Dai Er..."

Even as she said this, Rita revealed a slightly strange smile—after explaining everything, she actually felt that she had been adorably silly before...

Just then, Gwen received a new message that made the smile on his face disappear instantly.

Chapter 462 The Robin is Assassinated.

"Help me, Gwen..."

Upon seeing the message from the Robin, Gwen realized that something might have happened to him.

Even when debating topics such as "what is Harmony", the Halovian girls have always spoken softly and gently, rarely showing such urgency.

The Robin words made Gwen understand what had happened—

The Robin was attacked, and not just by gunfire, but by Space Pirates with their fleet. Helpless Robin could only try to ask Gwen for help.

Of course, while seeking help, Robin also pointed out that, as is customary, those warships were capable of directly destroying cities.

"What is it, Gwen?"

Seeing Gwen change in expression, Rita's sweet smile vanished instantly.

"A friend of mine was attacked and needs my help."

Gwyn waved to Rita and stood up.

"It's not a big problem. If I can't handle it, I'll just withdraw. Rita, you don't need to worry."

With that, Gwen applied to travel to the Robin's side.

"Rita will be here to await your triumphant return."

Seeing Gwen tap his head with his finger, Rita immediately understood. She realized that the friend Gwen was talking about was probably someone she met through that Chat System. So she put away her serious expression and smiled as she spoke.

"Um..."

Gwen nodded slightly, and his figure vanished from the spot.

In a flash, Gwen appeared in a dense forest, surrounded by the sounds of insects and birds, the scent of gunpowder, and the distant booming of cannons.

"Who goes there!"

After Gwen appeared, the group that was fleeing in a sorry state quickly realized that there was an extra person in their group. The few guns they had pointed directly at Gwen, and one of them, whose hand was shaking, even pulled the trigger.

"One of our own."

Gwen casually caught a burst of bullets, crumpled them into a ball, and threw them on the ground.

Then, without even glancing at the reactions of the clearly panicked men, Gwen looked directly to his right, where the pungent smell of blood was emanating—

On the back of a small female, lay a girl dressed simply, but with the Halovian's signature Sky Ring on her head and a pair of exquisite ear feathers on the back of her neck.

However, the girl was now listless, her once exquisite ear feathers were withered and droopy, and one side of them was stained with glaring blood.

"What are you going to do to Robin?"

Seeing Gwen look at the Robin, the small woman immediately looked away, but still moved her feet, wanting to lead the Robin away from this strange and dangerous individual.

"I'm the helper the Robin found, so of course I'm here to save people."

Gwen casually explained, and then gave everyone a secret technique called Harmony, which could calm their minds and minds, as proof of their identities.

Meanwhile, Gwen had already reached the small woman and taken the Robin from her back to examine it.

Although they couldn't sense the power of Harmony, the group, who were familiar with its effects, exchanged glances and decided not to fire at Gwen again, but their gazes towards Gwen remained deeply wary.

It's as if... even family members can't be completely trusted...

Brushing aside the Robin's hair, now stained red, Gwen looked at the wound that pierced the girl's slender, pale neck, from which blood still flowed continuously, and his expression grew grave.

Although this was not the assassination attempt that the Robin was supposed to encounter in his Remembrance, it was equally deadly, and even more so due to the harsh environment.

Meanwhile, the others who saw the Robin's injuries also looked tense.

After the attack, they didn't even have time to check the Robin's injuries before hurriedly taking Robin into the dense forest. Now they know exactly where the Robin was hurt.

However, although they hoped Gwen could heal the Robin, the approaching cannon fire forced them to speak up and warn him—

"Sir, the enemy's artillery fire is about to extend over us, should we...?"

If it were hit by an enemy shell, not only would the robin's neck be riddled with bullet holes, Robin its entire body would likely be reduced to a pool of flesh and blood on the ground.

"Don't worry."

Hearing the others' reminders, Gwen checked the Robin for any other injuries and then slapped his hand on the ground.

"Ah!"

Amidst the earlier exclamations of the small woman carrying the Robin, the ground where everyone stood began to sink rapidly, with the soil on both sides burying them.

"As long as the enemy doesn't bombard me from above with a single shell that could destroy the city, they won't be able to break through my defenses."

Gwen casually informed everyone about the defensive capabilities above their heads, and after confirming that the Robin only had one wound on its neck, he began treating it while simultaneously attempting to establish a mental connection with the Robin.

"Robin?"

Robin?

Robin did not disappoint Gwen, responding swiftly—

"Is that Gwen?"

"Yes, I've arrived. Don't worry, I'll heal your injuries soon..."

Hearing the Robin's words, though weak and weary, yet still clear, Gwen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

In the original story Robin survived an assassination attempt, though his life was in danger, leaving him with only a scar.

Gwen didn't want the Robin to die from an attack after he changed his actions.

But upon hearing Gwen's words, the Robin voiced his objection—

"My injury is not serious. Gwen, could you please lead the people with me out of the enemy's range?"

Judging from their equipment and firepower, this should be a group of Space Pirates. This is our base in this direction, and the armed forces there are sufficient to repel these enemies.

If you were to treat me on the spot, Gwen, I'm afraid you too..."

"Don't worry, I have set up temporary defenses. As long as the enemy doesn't accurately drop a weapon that could destroy the city with a single shot over our heads, we are not in any danger."

"We can move later once your injuries have healed."

Gwen spoke, his hand gently pressed against the Robin's bleeding wound. A light blue glow flowed, washing away all the blood and grime from the wound, then transformed into a golden light that covered the potentially fatal wound.

A moment later, the golden light faded, Gwen raised his hand, revealing the Robin's fair and tender skin, which had returned to its original state.

Having studied Sage's Notes and the Sanctuary the Healer's Handbook, as well as delving into the healing abilities of the Black Abyss White Flower, Gwyn, Third Order Gene Lock had been unlocked to a certain extent, found it not difficult to Gwen this injury.

Chapter 463 The Dragon Sets Off Fireworks.

Amidst the hushed discussions among those around him about whether Gwen might be a Pathstrider of the Path of Abundance, the Robin, now fully recovered from his injuries, finally opened his eyes slowly after Gwen infused him with some energy.

"Um..."

Still Robin shook its head, finally getting a clear look at the situation before it—

Several people were in a man-made cave, and they themselves...

Realizing he was still lying on Gwen's lap, the Robin felt a pang of panic and quickly sat up.

Because of the blood loss, the Robin, who had hurriedly gotten up, swayed and was about to fall down again.

"Be careful, you've just lost a lot of blood and need to rest..."

Gwen reached out and helped the swaying girl sit up, offering a soft word of comfort before getting down to business—

"Take a break first, and tell me what happened while you're at it."

"Okay..."

Upon Robin composed itself, nodded gently, and began to recount the current situation—

It turns out that, in order to put into practice the theories he had discussed with Gwen during this time, Robin brought some members of his family who were interested in his ideas to this war-torn planet.

With the family's various special abilities to open up new opportunities, and with relatively ample funds and resources behind them, Robin and his companions' social practice proceeded relatively smoothly, despite many unexpected problems along the way.

This afternoon, while Robin was conducting a field survey, they were attacked by an unidentified force suspected to Space Pirates. The enemy destroyed the vehicle Robin and his crew were traveling in with their warships, injured Robin, and launched a relentless pursuit.

"An attack by Space Pirates?"
