So Pure, So Flirtatious

Chapter 1619: The Douglas Family’s Reaction

Old Buffon’s local influence could be easily imagined as he easily solved the problem that seemed very difficult to settle for them.

Fang Tian couldn’t help but be emotionally moved. This unglamorous disciple accepted by Yang Ming was so dedicated! Fang Tian said in his heart that Yang Ming really had good luck.

“Although we haven’t received any specific information about Yang Ming and my brother, I think that they should have left safely based on Mr. Old Buffon’s news. Should we all prepare a celebration party to celebrate the hero’s triumphant return?” Wang Ruoshui suggested while looking at the crowd in the meeting room. She was relieved when she heard the news that Yang Ming and her brother were fine.

“That is a good idea!” Butler Mu nodded in approval. “It’s just that I feel anxious because Yang Ming and the family master haven’t contacted the family yet!”

Wang Xiaoyan also thought so after hearing his words. After all, we can only make sure that Yang Ming is really fine once we get the exact news. Everything we know now is just a manifestation of the events that occurred.

Wang Songshan couldn’t resist the excitement in his heart and made a phone call home on the way back. Someone immediately answered the phone call once it rang.

“Hello? Is it the family master?” Butler Mu was still worried as there was no exact news of Wang Songshan and Yang Ming. But Wang Songshan called right away.

“Butler Mu, Yang Ming and I are safe. We are on the way back, so prepare something delicious for us. I haven’t had a good meal in days!” Wang Songshan said comfortably.

“Okay, family master. I’ll let the servants go prepare. It’s great to hear the news of your safe return!” Butler Mu said with joy and his previous gloomy expression vanished.

“Is Yang Ming all right?” Wang Xiaoyan couldn’t hear the voice on the phone, but the call was made by her father and he seemed fine based on Butler Mu’s words. However, Wang Xiaoyan was still anxious as she did not hear the news of Yang Ming.

” Hehe, Yanyan, come and take the phone. I will inform the servants to prepare food and drink to greet the family master’s return,” Butler Mu saw Wang Xiaoyan’s anxious face and smiled slightly. He handed the phone to Wang Xiaoyan.

“Hello, Dad? Are you fine?” Wang Xiaoyan took the phone and thought it was inappropriate to ask about Yang Ming’s safety directly. Although she knew that her father was safe, she still asked out of concern.

“Me? Of course I’m fine!” Wang Songshan smiled teasingly. “Yanyan, why do you care about your father suddenly? Didn’t I just hear that you only cared about Yang Ming’s safety?”

Wang Xiaoyan’s face turned red immediately as she didn’t expect her father to hear what she had said just now. She said, “It’s because I already knew that you are safe. That’s why I only asked about Yang Ming.”

“Yang Ming is driving right now. He’s in an extremely good condition,” Wang Songshan laughed, “Would you like to talk to him?”

“There’s no need to… We’ll talk after you guys come back.” Wang Xiaoyan said nothing else once she heard that Yang Ming was driving because safety was most important after all.

Soon after the call was hung up, the Butterfly Family’s disciple on duty came to report that the Douglas Family had arrived!

“The Douglas Family came?” Butler Mu listened to the disciple’s report and was stunned slightly, “Why are they here?”

“Perhaps they got the news of the Lancer Family and came here to express goodwill?” Fang Tian chuckled and said, “Although Goode is dead, the other party will definitely not come to question our crime unless they are stupid. ”

“That is also true,” Butler Mu agreed, “Then let the people of the Douglas Family come in. I would like to know what they are here for.”

A black-suited man in his fifties sat respectfully on a sofa in the Butterfly Castle’s reception hall. He stood up quickly once he saw Butler Mu and the others coming in. “Butler Mu——”. He then locked his eyes on Wang Ruoshui again and said, “Is this Family Master Wang’s younger sister?”

Wang Ruoshui nodded slightly and didn’t answer. She just sat down at the side. Instead, Butler Mu knew the identity of this person, “Elder Gurner? May I know what’s the matter for your excellency to visit us at this time?”

Gurner was the Douglas Family’s chief elder and the brother of the current family master. The Douglas Family had received the news immediately after the Lancer Family collapsed!

The Douglas Family had several well-known servants within the Lancer Family because they had an in-law relationship with the Lancer Family. They received the news of Goode’s death right after the Lancer Family’s incident. This infuriated the Douglas Family Master yet he felt a deep fear and powerlessness!

The Douglas Family Master would definitely seek a reasonable explanation from the Butterfly Family if Goode was the only one who was dead. However, the Lancer Family had also been directly exterminated, which made the Douglas Family Master give up any thoughts of resistance!

He asked himself, The Douglas Family is not any stronger than the Lancer Family. We are actually much worse. So what is a Douglas Family to them if they could destroy the Lancer Family so easily?

So it was impossible to take revenge even if he wanted to. Everything was transient before absolute strength. Although his son had died in vain, the Douglas Family Master did not dare to complain at all because the opponent was way stronger than himself.

Perhaps, he could only swallow his anger and suffer in silence for this matter. However, while he was swallowing his anger, Elder Gurner had suggested for him to rush to the Butterfly Family to express goodwill clarify the relationship with the Lancer Family.

After all, Goode was the one who started this whole matter. Although Goode was Thomas’s grandson and the Lancer Family also stuck up for him, he was still a member of the Douglas Family after all!

There was no guarantee that the Butterfly Family wouldn’t point their finger toward the Douglas Family after they annihilated the Lancer Family. If they had annihilated one, annihilating a second would not make any difference to them. Perhaps, it would then be the end of the Douglas Family!

The Douglas Family Master was still furious about his son’s death, but he could not worry about his anger anymore as Gurner had reminded him. He carefully thought about it and found out that it was indeed the case. How could the Douglas Family be the Butterfly Family’s rival if they really came for revenge?

However, the Douglas Family Master couldn’t accept the act of letting a family master, whose son had just died, take the initiative to express goodwill to the Butterfly Family. He was afraid that everything would be ruined if he acted impulsively at that time.

As a result, Elder Gurner came to visit the Butterfly Family as the representative of the Douglas Family.

” Hehe, Butler Mu. May I know if Family Master Wang is at home?” Gurner asked politely.

“Family master?” Butler Mu’s face was cold and said somberly, “How could Elder Gurner not know where my family master is?”

“This-” Gurner panicked as he didn’t expect Butler Mu to be so straightforward and relentlessly reply. He had originally intended to start with a few prior greetings before opening up the topic. However, Gurner was indeed a sophisticated person, so he muttered a little and said, “To be honest, Butler Mu, my little nephew Goode indeed went somewhat too far in the previous matter.”

“Why, Elder Gurner? So, are you here to pursue responsibility?” Butler Mu hummed

coldly and asked.

“How would I dare to?” Gurner smiled bitterly. It seems that Butler Mu is really difficult to deal with! “Goode deserved what he got; everything was his fault. We, the Douglas Family, had a meeting and decided to dispense Goode’s identity as the first successor in the family. He will forever be eradicated from the Douglas Family, so Goode’s death has nothing to do with the family at all! ”

Butler Mu sneered coldly after hearing this. They only came to say these words after Goode was dead. Goode was unlucky enough to become an abandoned son so soon. However, Goode had died for a good cause as he was able to carry all of his sins when he died.

Although Butler Mu had this thought in his heart, he said calmly, “Is that so? I was still thinking about how to explain Goode’s death to the Douglas Family. It seems that there is no need for an explanation now.”

Gurner smiled bitterly and forced a smile, “That’s right, I’m assured as long as the family master is all right. Since the family master is not at home, I will have to trouble Butler Mu to help me convey the stand of the Douglas Family! ”

” Oh? What stand?” Butler Mu asked even though he clearly knew it.

“Our Douglas Family and your Butterfly Family co-exist in Ello Town. We will not do anything that undermines the friendship between the two parties. This matter was due to an individual’s private behavior this time, but we still have to say sorry and assure you that such a matter will never happen again!” said Gurner calmly.

“Okay, Elder Gurner, I will honestly convey your message to the family master. Please rest assured,” Butler Mu nodded and answered.

“Then I’ll leave first and not disturb you guys anymore,” Gurner stood up and did not plan to stay any longer as he saw that he had achieved his goal.

Chapter 1620: Central

“Doctor, Central’s computer has lost contact with Jetson!” A researcher, who wore blue sterile workwear and glasses, pushed opened Dr. Benjamin’s office door and said anxiously.

“Lost contact? What happened? Lex?” Dr. Benjamin was initially slightly dissatisfied when his assistant broke into the room and interrupted his work. But he asked quickly as he was shocked when he heard his assistant’s words.

“The signal connection between the terminal system inside Jetson’s body and Central’s computer was suddenly interrupted fifteen minutes ago,” The researcher named Lex explained, “I thought it was a communication failure at first, so I didn’t care about it. I tried to reconnect, but it still didn’t work after a few tries. I then realized that something seemed to be wrong. So, I turned on the GPS system to find Jetson’s location, but he could not be located. I couldn’t find the GPS chip inside Jetson at all! ”

“Did you try to call Jetson?” Dr. Benjamin asked Lex and frowned slightly after listening to his explanation.

“I tried, but there was no response!” Lex replied, “Doctor, did Jetson flee after removing the chip inside his body without permission?”

“He won’t,” Dr. Benjamin waved his hand, “Since a Robot escaped from Central three years ago, I have changed their body structure and attached the GPS chip to the communication terminal chip in the central processing unit (CPU). These two chips cannot be deactivated separately unless the CPU is destroyed! And once the CPU is destroyed, all parts of the robot’s body except the brain will be uncontrolled. This will cause the nutrient supply system to stop, leading to brain death.”

“Then, Jetson didn’t break the connection to Central’s computer by himself?” Lex asked in confusion.

“Yes, Jetson is very clear about this CPU’s secret, so he will not do stupid suicide acts. Something else must be wrong,” Dr. Benjamin said affirmatively.

“Is there a problem with the CPU itself?” Lex asked.

“It is possible, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. There is a spare CPU processor in addition to the main CPU in Jetson. The spare processor will automatically take over the main processor’s job if the main processor fails to function. So, we should still be able to contact Jetson even if there is a problem with the main processor. Furthermore, it’s highly improbable for the two processors to have problems at the same time. “Dr. Benjamin said.

“Go ask the intelligence department to investigate what happened to the Lancer Family!” Dr. Benjamin naturally knew of Jetson’s whereabouts as he had approved of Jetson’s request to handle some private affairs.

“Yes, Doctor, I’ll investigate it now.” Lex nodded and quickly exited Dr. Benjamin’s office.

Dr. Benjamin frowned even more after Lex left! Jetson was a robot designed and manufactured by Dr. Benjamin himself. No one knew Jetson’s ability better than him! This was the latest technology product, which had significant improvements over the previous generation of robots. Dr. Benjamin had gone through many failed experiments to successfully manufacture the final product – Jetson! Dr. Benjamin suddenly felt an ominous premonition as he had suddenly lost contact with Jetson.

As he said before, the probability of two CPUs having problems at the same time was almost zero. As a result, Jetson had either cut off contact with Central’s computer in a unique way or he had died.

Dr. Benjamin’s mouth twitched as he thought about the possibility that Jetson might have been destroyed! That was his painstaking effort for so many years! Although it was possible to remanufacture these robots with the technology in hand, they couldn’t manufacture as many as they wanted due to the rarity and cost of the manufacturing components as well as the complicated manufacturing process. Except for Jetson, the only finished product, the others were all currently semi-finished products. It would also require a lot of effort to debug them even after they were assembled into a finished product.

“Doctor, the Lancer Family has been exterminated!” Lex soon returned to the laboratory and made his way to Dr. Benjamin’s office as he shouted.

“What?” Dr. Benjamin was shocked after hearing Lex’s words. “Has been exterminated? What do you mean?”

“An accidental explosion occurred in the Lancer Family around ten o’clock tonight. All members of the Lancer Family were killed. Although it seems like an accident from the official news, we found out that this was a man-made explosion through our channels. It should have been done by the Butterfly Family. “Lex explained.

“Man-made? Exterminated? So the Lancer Family still did not escape the fate of being exterminated even though they were under Jetson’s protection?” Dr. Benjamin’s face instantly became gloomy, “And in this explosion, Jetson also… ”

“It’s possible…” Lex smiled bitterly, “But, Doctor, the intelligence department said that Jetson’s body was not found.”

“There is no corpse…” Dr. Benjamin’s eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope, but it soon faded away, “Perhaps the Butterfly Family noticed that something was wrong and took the corpse away. ”

“The Butterfly Family?” Lex revealed a ruthless expression on his face after hearing Dr. Benjamin’s words, “Doctor, Should we teach them a lesson? How dare they touch people from our Central!”

“People from our Central?” Dr. Benjamin sneered, “Lex, don’t be too arrogant. What’s so strong about Central? Our Central’s name is not scary at all in the outside world! Moreover, aren’t we just finding trouble for ourselves if we make a move hastily when the Butterfly Family has the power to deal with Jetson?”

Lex was shocked and suddenly came to his senses. Yes, it is unwise for Central to fight against the Butterfly Family since they have the ability to kill a Jetson.

At this moment, Yang Ming didn’t know that Central had locked their target on the Butterfly Family. He thought that he had successfully killed Jetson without anyone knowing and that Central wouldn’t be able to find out that it was his doing in a short period of time.

Yang Ming thought that Jetson had gone out privately to stick up for the Lancer Family without informing Central of his whereabouts. If this was the case, it would be impossible for Central to quickly deduce that Jetson had died in the Lancer Family even if they noticed that Jeston was missing from his death. But Yang Ming did not expect that Dr. Benjamin had actually known of Jetson’s whereabouts.

“We had never paid attention to the Butterfly Family before, but we must take them seriously now!” Dr. Benjamin reached out to open a pager on the computer screen and messaged Falcon.

“Doctor, are there any commands?” The “Falcon” far away in China took out the handheld terminal as soon as he heard the notification sound. He quickly replied when he saw that it was the doctor who messaged him.

“Falcon, something has happened to Jetson. It’s unclear whether he’s still alive or dead, so I can’t assist you for the time being. Please postpone your action for now,” Dr. Benjamin sighed and conveyed the message.

“What! Something has happened to Mr. Jetson?” Falcon was shocked and his eyes showed a great disappointment.
