Lamian Wants More New Sisters to Join the Family
He wouldn't lock up Goradya like a canary, because that would disgust her more than death.
"Goradya, I hope you can help me. Over the years, you should have come to understand the administrative system and core of civilization in Utopia. While Sargol's arrogance is indeed justified in a certain sense, it cannot shoulder the burden of a civilization."
Goradya didn't listen to much of what she was saying; her heart just clenched painfully.
"Mr. Huang, there's only one thing I care about: did you approach me only because of Sargol?"
Huang Cao shook her head resolutely, her expression firm. "Absolutely not. I approached you only out of friendship and care, because I couldn't bear to see you being tormented like this by Hratya."
"If you hadn't brought this up today... but if you were to dedicate yourself to Sargol after becoming consul, our relationship would probably have ended with you taking office."
Goradya was stunned; she never expected that a man could be so resolute.
"What about our seven years together? Just because I became the consul? And then we became enemies?"
No matter how clever Goradya, she is still only a twelve-year-old girl.
Lacking sufficient social experience, one is naturally easily swayed by emotions.
Huang Cao didn't want the girl to have such an unhappy birthday, but it's better for everyone to be clear about some things.
"I can only say that seven years of getting along was an accident, Goradya. I am the monarch of a country, and I can indeed change my policy towards Sargol and arbitrarily harm the interests of my people, but I will not do so, at least not because of you."
Huang Cao's heart was as cold as iron at that moment, and he basically ignored the girl's expression as if she was about to cry.
The two weren't speaking quietly, but with the aid of a special power, those around them couldn't clearly hear what they were talking about.
Huang Cao listened quietly to the little girl's crying, offering no words of comfort.
Because offering comfort might give the other person hope, causing them to lower their pride and beg you.
Huang Cao had no intention of begging Goradya to cooperate with her plan.
Let's wait until this girl genuinely wants to help me.
Forcing her to do things she doesn't like will only cause pain for both of you.
So if nothing changes, Huang Cao will really have no choice but to send the grown-up Goradya into Originium, and incidentally send all those in Sargol who rebelled against him into Originium as well.
After crying, Goradya slammed her phone on the table and left without saying a word.
"Sir, your sister seems very sad. Shouldn't you try to comfort her?"
The staff couldn't hear their conversation, but since they were gone, they should be able to guess what was going on.
"Sigh, you understand when you grow up."
Huang Cao shook his head and put his phone away on the table. He didn't plan to come to Sargol next year.
Since this relationship has probably broken up, there's no point in coming here.
On the bright side, at least the gifts that Shu and the others gave weren't returned.
Huang Cao felt he didn't owe Goradya anything; he was simply stating the facts and explaining the potential risks ahead.
His feelings for this girl were merely those of friendship.
Perhaps Goradya has already come to see him as a father she only sees once or twice a year?
But people always have to grow up.
As for Goradya, she will inform Sargol's higher-ups about the plan in the future.
There's no need to worry about that, because nearly half of Sargol's high-ranking officials have already been infected by Sea Creatures.
The news about Goradya wouldn't last long. Huang Cao originally planned to wait until she came of age to tell her the truth, hoping that she would be more accepting by then.
But the reaction was unexpectedly strong. Did Goradya really Sargol that much?
But since that's the case, let's get the rest of the plan on track...
Upon realizing this, Huang Cao immediately made a phone call to Sea Creatures's headquarters.
"Isamara, I've run into a little trouble. Starting today, you can begin to retaliate against the Aegir's harassment."
Goradya felt extremely frustrated as she ran home, even though she genuinely wanted to contribute to the development of Sargol.
But the reason for her anger was more due to Mr. Huang's lack of understanding and absolute indifference.
Children's hearts are always complicated, and Master Huang is a super straight man.
When they're being irresponsible, they can be incredibly irresponsible, but once they get serious, they have an iron will.
How could the position of consul possibly compare to seven years of companionship?
But you say it was just an accident?
The word "accident" deeply wounded Goradya's heart. "If you just want to coax me properly, I won't be so unhappy."
But you chose the most cold and heartless way of speaking.
She cried her heart out in bed, and it wasn't until nightfall that Goradya's intelligence returned to normal.
A smart child always thinks more deeply. After venting her negative emotions, she took the initiative to consider the political positions of both sides.
Then she realized that although Mr. Huang's words were harsh and ruthless, upon closer examination, almost all of them were for her benefit.
It is precisely because I don't want to get hurt that I can't bear to deceive myself.
When Goradya realized this, she was no longer angry.
He even considered calling to apologize, but he had already returned the phone to the other person, and that guy certainly wouldn't stay there and wait.
"Let's come back next year. He'll definitely come again then. We can apologize properly then."
The young girl hadn't even considered the possibility that Master Huang wouldn't come again; she was simply looking forward to her birthday the following year.
Unfortunately, the wait was much longer than expected. The young swordfish was unaware that this man had already changed his life.
He made himself less indifferent, less wary of emotions, and began to cherish the people around him more.
From the first year to the second year, and for many years afterward, Goradya waited, but there was no response.
The Huang Cao seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
Meanwhile, Sea Creatures, who had been relatively docile in recent years, is gradually becoming more irritable and no longer cowers in the face of provocation as he used to.
Chapter 486: Lamian's Desire to Join More New Sisters
"That's a bit too heartless, Ah Cao. To be honest, you're a bit cold-hearted."
"There's no way I can abandon my principles for a little girl I'm somewhat close to; our relationship is second only to that of friends."
Several months later, Shu and the others also learned of A Cao's plans.
Huang Cao's decisiveness was far too cruel to Goradya, almost tantamount to robbing her of the only light in her life.
But the fault doesn't lie with Ah Cao; it's just that the positions of both sides determined many things.
"I still think we should find an opportunity to meet in person sometime. Even if we really do fall out, at least we can say hello and resolve any lingering issues."
Shu didn't know how to handle her relationship with Goradya.
But whether it's a clean break or a glimmer of hope, as long as her man doesn't give up on Sargol, the two will definitely meet again in the future.
Theresia, standing next to her, felt the same way. If it weren't for her best friend's terrible influence, she would probably be several meters old by now, if she hadn't considered the worst-case scenario.
Huang Cao breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright then. I'll find an opportunity to attend Goradya's coming-of-age ceremony later, but I definitely won't see her again anytime soon. Sargol's plan has already moved on to the next stage, and my presence would only cause more trouble."
Sea Creatures's actions over the past few years have been almost entirely linked to Master Huang's Goradya training program.
After all, you need to create a safe environment to quickly increase your favorability.
I originally planned to wait a few more years until the little girl came of age before revealing my plans and inviting her to join.
However, as mentioned earlier, Huang Cao did not approach Goradya based on this plan; she was merely exploring other possibilities as a side effect.
Let Goradya become Sargol's leader and coordinate all of Utopia's future actions. Master Huang doesn't trust the others. Feeding certain people Seed can ensure they won't rebel.
However, work efficiency will drop significantly, because people who don't love utopia will certainly not work diligently for it.
To be precise Goradya was Plan B in her own plan library, not her primary Plan A.
Huang Cao felt that her Plan B was ruined and she could only use Plan A, which she had prepared earlier.
In the end, it was Sea Creatures sacrificed everything for this family. In the past few years, he has stopped fighting back even when he was beaten, and could only run away for his life.
Sitting on the familiar sofa, Huang Cao opened Utopia's government affairs system and began to process today's work.
However, he had only dealt with half of it when his Banshee wife came over with a letter.
"The letter is signed Dublin, would you like to open it and take a look?"
"I bet it's that lazy dragon trying to get me to increase his welfare allowance again. Just burn it; out of sight, out of mind."
Lamian used Banshee sorcery to burn the envelope in her hand to ashes without the slightest hesitation.
"You know, so many years have passed, hasn't it been a long time since we've had a new addition to our family?" Lamian suddenly asked in a strange tone.
So, do you want children?
Huang Cao said with a smile, "I just fed her this morning, and she's already craving something sweet again."
Lamian blushed slightly. "Am I really that improper? But since you've put it that way, it would be irresponsible of me to refuse."
The Banshee's claim of having too few people wasn't an excuse to ask for a reward, but rather a reflection of the time since Xigua joined the group.
My husband hasn't been involved with any other women in a long time, and our family hasn't had a proper lively time in ages.
The same team fights the boss, Ah Cao, every day.
Although it was still challenging and I never won, it ultimately lacked a bit of fun.
When can we have another older sister or younger sister?
The double bed in our house hasn't been changed in a long time.
Lamian stroked her chin thoughtfully. In fact, it was foreseeable that the large bed at home was already reserved for two people.
Those are the Twin Empresses of Leithanian, those two sheep who have been thinking about grazing for many years.
However, they haven't had the opportunity yet. Once these two truly control Leithanian, they will likely use the country as their dowry.
Will my Ah Cao agree or refuse at that time?
Lamian: "Tell me the truth, Ah Cao, during the year you went on your trip, did you have any affairs?"
Huang Cao: "Absolutely not, I just took in two Caprini apprentices who have some talent."
Lamian: "It must be a female apprentice."
If it weren't for special circumstances, Ah Cao might not see any male creatures for a whole month.
Whether taking on apprentices or meeting people, his gaze is always drawn to women.
Suddenly there were four more people, and if nothing unexpected happens, these will all be her future best friends.
But when will we reap the rewards? Or will it ultimately be a case of being destined to meet but not to be together?
Lamian and Theresia, who had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom, remained silent.
Gaining the trust of one's own Ah Cao is no less difficult than a hard-fought battle.
The belief in love is completely different from the belief in one's subordinates; the former is almost above all else.
In any case, having more family members is a good thing.
"Ah Cao, don't you think our castle is a bit small?"
Lamian continued.
Huang Cao shrugged. "It feels alright, not much smaller."
"No, that won't do. Although I do feel a sense of familiarity after living here for a while, this castle isn't even as big as my Demon King's Palace. Besides, if we really have children in the future, I can't just cram them all into your room, can I?"
Faced with the two people's suggestions, Huang Cao agreed after only a short thought.
If we disregard the possibility of future population growth, the castle where I've lived for over a hundred years is indeed quite cozy.
But the living space has also been reduced, and the number of people in this family will at least double when everything is over in the future.
It's better to get the job done now than to expand later.
"Besides, there's no garden inside the castle's fence, only roads and some basic exercise facilities. Just leave things to us; we'll stay in the Demon King's Palace for the next few days."
