“Why is she here? And why didn’t she tell me?”
Han Xiao was stunned.
This woman was not a good person. She had left the Black Star Army decades ago and followed the Silver Revolutionary Army to cause trouble. Now that she had suddenly returned, no one knew what she wanted.
“Commander, will you see her?”
“…Let’s just meet her for a bit.”
Han Xiao nodded. He was quite curious about Rossellin’s intentions.
After the butterfly effect he caused, the Silver Revolutionary Army basically did not have the chance to evolve into a big version event like in his previous life. He did not know what would happen to this group. Could Rossellin have come to him for help?
While guessing, Han Xiao stood up and walked out of the office. He walked along the corridor to the reception room. On his way to the logistics department, he called Reynold, who was working extremely hard, and brought him to see his sister.
Very quickly, the two of them arrived outside the guest room. The door opened, and they saw Rossellin.
“Long time no see.”
Han Xiao casually greeted Rossellin as he sized her up.
It had been many years since they last met, and Rossellin’s appearance did not seem to have changed much. She was wearing a dark blue teacher’s robe, and her temperament was even calmer than decades ago.
“That’s right. It’s been so many years, and you’ve already become a legendary figure in the universe. Even the three Universal Civilizations view you as the most dangerous person. Thinking back to your honeymoon period with the dynasty, it’s truly a pity.” Rossellin smiled.
Han Xiao sat opposite Rossellin and casually replied, “What’s there to be sad about? Different positions will have different problems to consider. The development of any matter always spirals upward, but it’s very normal to experience rise and fall.”
“But this isn’t a spiral rise, right? If not for the Sanctum Revival you created, this era wouldn’t have become what it is today. As expected of you, you easily accomplished what I couldn’t. Your ability to turn the situation around is much stronger than mine. Don’t you feel any sense of achievement?” Rossellin batted her eyes and teased him.
“You’re not yet worthy of letting me feel a sense of achievement.” Han Xiao smiled.
Rossellin was not angry. She smiled and turned to look at Reynold as though she had just noticed him. She pretended to be surprised and said, “Hey, little brother, you’re still alive. I thought you would’ve died from overworking by now.”
Reynold did not know how to respond.
Although you are my sister, if you continue to spout nonsense, do you believe that I won’t give you a firm slap?
Han Xiao shook his head and smiled. “Let’s not talk about me for now. You, on the other hand, have not made a single move in decades, at most only helping me a little in Modo. How’s your so-called career?”
“Nothing much. What you’ve done has indirectly obstructed our career. What else can we do? But that’s none of my business. I’ve already quit.”
Rossellin shrugged with a nonchalant tone, as if she did not care about wasting decades of her time.
The Intelligent Plague incident had consolidated the hearts of the three Universal Civilizations, and the recent sanctions against the Beyond Grade A Association had also received the approval of a large number of ordinary people who hated the strong. The Silver Revolutionary Army could not break the foundation of the ordinary citizens in the three Universal Civilizations, and thus, their career had come to a standstill.
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.
This woman actually quit the Silver Revolutionary Army… This was out of his expectations.
“So, why did you come back today?”
Hearing this, Rossellin spread her hands out and smiled.
“I can’t stay idle. When I lose my job, I have to find a new job. What do you think, O Great Commander? Will you accept me?”
“If I say no, what will you do?” Han Xiao raised his brows.
“Then I can only pester you…” Rossellin rolled her eyes and deliberately acted like she was about to cry. “With our relationship, you can’t bear to see me fall into someone else’s arms, right?”
“…Speak properly, don’t talk about such things.” Han Xiao coughed. “Now that the three Universal Civilizations are punishing us, you must have some other reasons for suddenly coming back.”
Rossellin clapped her hands twice symbolically before smiling. “I really can’t hide it from your eyes. You also know that my goal is to deal with the three Universal Civilizations, but recently, I suddenly realized that joining the association’s faction seems to be more promising.”
Han Xiao was speechless.
That seemed to be the case. To a certain extent, the Beyond Grade A Association had already achieved a part of the role of Silver Revolutionary Army in his previous life. Now that they had formed an opposing faction with the three Universal Civilizations, the commotion they caused was not much smaller than what the Silver Revolutionary Army caused back then.
However, the Silver Revolutionary Army in this lifetime did not improve at all, which made Rossellin feel that her future was bleak. Thus, she ran back to join her old employer, resorting to another method to deal with the three Universal Civilizations. Her goal did not change, and with her personality, she would definitely do such a thing.
And if this ‘soul character’ left, the Silver Revolutionary Army would only have two or three little kittens left. There would be no chance to rise up.
This meant that although he did not deliberately target the Silver Revolutionary Army, it seemed like the butterfly effect he triggered indirectly killed them in the end.
So, was Rossellin abandoning the dark to embrace the light?
Han Xiao shook his head before emphasizing his seriousness as he spoke. “…Alright, since you’re willing to bear the brunt and return to the army, I can let you in. However, from now on, you can no longer have any contact with the Silver Revolutionary Army. If you leave the army again, even with Reynold around, I won’t let you come back. Do you understand?”
He did not mind recruiting Rossellin again. Although this woman’s mind was dangerous, her ability was indeed rare and had strategic significance. She was practically a trump card to overthrow someone’s rule. It was best to keep such a talent in his hands.
“Alright, I won’t leave you this time.” Rossellin batted her eyes again.
Reynold frowned when he heard this.
This woman was not quite right. Was she seducing Black Star to make the Army Commander his brother-in-law?
Damn, how shameless!
Han Xiao remained unmoved, standing up as he spoke. “Alright, I’ll get someone to arrange your duties. You two have not seen each other for many years, so you should have a lot to talk about. I still have things to do, so I’ll take my leave now.”
As he spoke, he turned and walked out of the guest room, leaving behind only his shadow.
After watching Han Xiao leave, Reynold turned to look at Rossellin and said with a frown, “Let me warn you, if you come back with bad intentions, I will be the first to catch you!”
“You don’t trust me?” Rossellin raised her brows.
“Humph, I know very well what kind of person you are!” Reynold crossed his arms and said expressionlessly, “Also, I advise you to be more respectful to the Army Commander. A subordinate should act like a subordinate!”
“Yo, it’s been decades since we last met, and you’re so loyal to Black Star?” Rossellin clicked her tongue in wonder. Suddenly, she rolled her eyes, lowered her tone, and chuckled. “How about it? Do you want to have a brother-in-law?”
“What are you doing?” Reynold frowned even more.
“I think a man like Black Star who can turn the universe upside down suits me very well. What do you think?” Rossellin teased.
Reynold snorted in disdain.
“Those who are eyeing Black Star can circle around this base six times. With just you? Go queue up!”
