Daily Life

Wakanda's secrets had been exposed, severely damaging its international reputation. On top of that, their own prince was now in the hands of others. Despite possessing technology far surpassing other nations, they were in a weak position and dared not make any rash moves.

Furthermore, their domestic situation was far from stable. No matter how isolated a nation was, ambitious individuals would always emerge. Seizing this rare, heaven-sent opportunity, these ambitious figures managed to rally a group of Wakandan citizens who were unwilling to settle for a quiet life, and they began to stir up trouble in secret.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, even America maintained a cautious stance towards Wakanda. While they were envious of the advanced technology seen in the photos and videos, it was precisely because they understood the sophistication of that technology that they didn't dare to push Wakanda too hard.

With both sides exercising restraint, Wakanda and the United Nations became locked in a protracted stalemate.

No matter how much commotion there was internationally or online, it no longer concerned Kraft. Because he...

...was back in school!

Kraft, now promoted to the eighth grade, brought his robot sister Alice, who loved going to school, with him for the new semester. By this time, they were almost the same height. If anything, Kraft might have been a tiny bit taller, which made him less resistant to taking Alice to school.

"Big Brother—! I wanna go too! I wanna go too, ao!"

Quinn, the dog, grabbed Kraft's leg with his front paws on the first day of school and howled loudly.

"You and Big Sister aren't home, it's so boring!"

"Stop messing around! Pets aren't allowed at school!"

Kraft ruffled Quinn's doggy head, laughing and scolding him good-naturedly.

"Shocking! More racial discrimination! I'm so angry I'm trembling! When will we little animals ever stand up! Don't you humans have an animal protection society? Don't they care?!"

"What have you been watching all day long!"

Kraft tugged at Quinn's chubby face, feeling that he should limit his access to television and computers.

"Haro, no more showing Quinn weird stuff from now on!"

"Haro understands, Haro understands."

"Shocking! Not only am I not allowed to go to school, but you're also limiting my TV time! Is this fair?!"

Quinn's antics intensified as he rolled onto his back on the floor, his four paws flailing wildly in the air.

"I don't care! I want to go to school! I want to go to school!"

"...Three bags of snacks!"

Kraft deployed his trump card.

"Five bags!"

As soon as he heard about food, Quinn perked up. He twisted his body and stood up again, starting to bargain with Kraft with a serious expression.

"It's three bags! Take it or leave it! If you eat any more, you'll turn into David!"

"Alrighty~ Big Brother, you take care~ Be careful on your way~"

Quinn quickly dropped the backpack he had snatched from Kraft at his feet, wagging his tail with a fawning smile.

"Sigh..."

Kraft sighed helplessly, picked up the backpack at his feet, and headed out. He regretted buying Quinn back just because of a fleeting feeling, thinking that cats were much less trouble. Bear never caused this many problems.

After bringing Alice to Vantas Public Middle School for registration, Mr. Martin, a school board member, had already made arrangements. Naturally, the school assigned her to Kraft's class.

Alice received a warm welcome from all her classmates on her first day of school.

With her cute appearance, sweet personality, and being Kraft's sister, any one of these traits would have made many people want to befriend her. Moreover, Alice possessed all three.

However, Kraft hadn't expected some female classmates to try and use Alice to get closer to him.

"Am I really that popular?"

Kraft scratched his head, asking Fatty Liao, who was standing nearby with envy and jealousy, with some confusion.

In most schools in America, nerds aren't very popular; they're often the primary targets of bullying. While Kraft wasn't exactly a nerd, he spent a lot of time in his laboratory, so his relationships with his classmates were actually quite ordinary.

"Have you forgotten you're also the big boss of Dream Toy Company?"

Subtle bragging is the most deadly. Seeing Kraft's genuinely confused expression, Fatty Liao clutched his chest, gasping for air, and gritted his teeth in frustration.

Students of this age might not fully grasp what the Dream Toy Company represented, but that didn't stop them from admiring Kraft. Moreover...

If they could actually get together with Kraft, wouldn't they have Barbie dolls and Sparklers galore from then on!

Even the desires of young girls their age seemed so adorable.

Unfortunately, Kraft couldn't understand it. He politely declined all the girls' invitations.

Seriously! I barely have enough time to tinker in my lab, how could I possibly have time for dates with girls!

This was his righteous reply when Fatty Liao questioned him with great distress.

Enraged, Fatty Liao pointed at Kraft with his short, radish-like fingers, trembling for a long time before he could utter a single word.

Alice's first school trip was very smooth, so she skipped and hopped happily on the way back.

Seeing Alice's joyful demeanor, Kraft's mood also brightened considerably.

Until...

They opened the door to their home.

The house was in disarray. Food and decorations were scattered all over the coffee table, several chairs were overturned, the potted plant in the corner had lost most of its leaves, and the sofa was covered in holes, clearly torn by sharp claws and teeth.

"Quinn! You damn mutt, get out here!"

Kraft's eye twitched, and he roared at the top of his lungs.

However, after shouting, he waited for a long time but Quinn, the damn mutt, didn't appear. Furthermore, the little black cat, Bear, also seemed to have vanished.

But Kraft didn't notice this at the time. He angrily walked over to the TV. Although the red Haro that was usually there was also gone, Kraft still had Angela, the artificial intelligence that only existed online.

"Angela! Show me the security footage from today!"

With Kraft's command, the TV in front of him automatically turned on and began playing everything that had happened at home after he and Alice had left.

Then, Kraft's expression grew darker as he watched. He originally thought the culprit was Quinn, the damn mutt, but he never expected it to be the usually quiet little black cat, Bear!

To think I felt she was the less troublesome one before!

However, Quinn wasn't much better. While he wasn't the main culprit, he was definitely an accomplice.

The events were very simple. Bear, the little black cat, got bored with the toys Kraft had prepared for her and became interested in the small ornaments on the coffee table. She pushed them all off the table, and wasn't satisfied. She then pushed off the plates holding fruit and nuts.

After clearing the coffee table, Bear jumped onto the sofa and started sharpening her claws. At this time, Quinn, carrying the treats Kraft had promised him, ran down from upstairs. Seeing Bear wrecking the house, he not only didn't stop her but joined in. The cat and dog turned the house upside down.

After the rampage, likely fearing they would be scolded, the two guilty parties hid, not forgetting to take the monitoring Haro with them.

When Kraft found the two of them following the video, they looked utterly disbelieving.

We hid the Haro with us!

"I'm so screwed..."

Watching the video of his crimes playing on the TV, Quinn buried his head between his paws.

Meanwhile, Bear, the main culprit, put on an innocent act, snuggling into Alice's arms and meowing sweetly, trying to get away with it.

"Brother..."

Alice, whose heart softened, was about to speak up for them but was cut off by Kraft waving his hand.

"Impossible! These two are dead meat!"

Then, Kraft improvised, using his Engineering abilities to quickly assemble a pile of parts and build two "Break the Cauldrons and Sink the Boats Treadmills" specifically for pets, throwing Quinn and Bear onto them.

"Big brother, you have no heart! RUA!"

"You can't abuse small animals, meow!"
