The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 460 Hillman

"Kids are here! Over here, come on over!" The young man had obviously been waiting at the door for a while, and when he saw them, his eyes lit up and he waved to them.

The other person's attitude was so natural that she even suspected that the other person was someone she knew in the past, but had simply forgotten.

However, the next moment, Hillman's address instantly overturned all her unreliable ideas.

Upon hearing Hillman excitedly call out "Father," Jiang Hui instantly realized that this must be Hillman's father, Aaron Hillman.

The other party seems somewhat different from what I imagined. Jiang Hui thought to himself.

Looking at the other person's handsome face and gentle smile, it's hard to imagine that he is a rising star with a great reputation in the business world.

Like Clarence, Hillman has very obvious Oberon features, with high noses, deep-set eyes, and well-defined facial features.

However, Clarence was a typical Germanic, with blond hair, blue eyes, and fair, translucent skin. Hillman, on the other hand, was of Greek descent, with black hair and black eyes; although also Caucasian, his skin wasn't particularly fair. He was also very tall, almost the size of seventeen or eighteen-year-olds at only thirteen or fourteen.

The elder before him, though also black-haired and black-eyed, had softer facial features than Hillman, possessing a more refined, almost Chinese appearance. Hillman, in fact, didn't resemble him much.

Having already met such an important figure as Zhou Xiuwen's father, the group possessed considerable mental fortitude, and upon meeting this time, they all consciously stepped forward to greet the elder respectfully.

The other person mentioned their names as if it were a rare treat, in a very natural way: "You're Xiao Jiang, right? El told me about you..." "Clarence, I haven't seen your father in a long time..." "You must be Huan, welcome..."

No matter which world Jiang Hui was in, she had never encountered such an outgoing elder before. He felt like a peer who wasn't much older than them, like an older brother. What was even more remarkable was his natural attitude and tone, as if they had known each other for many years, without any of that awkwardness of trying to get close.

But Jiang Hui clearly remembered that they had only met this person a short while ago. The other person might not even remember their faces, yet in that brief conversation, they had somehow developed a feeling of instant familiarity.

How terrifying... Now I finally know where Hillman's overly friendly nature comes from.

If someone as gentle and kind as a spring breeze and so sincere as to befriend you, a fool would probably be sold out and count the money without even realizing it.

Faced with such an elder, not to mention Jiang Hui and Clarence, even the usually aloof Huan Xian couldn't keep a straight face forever.

The other party came out specifically to welcome Jiang Hui and her group. After a brief introduction on the lawn, they led them into the palace behind...

Jiang Hui finally understood why Hillman had seemed so nonchalant when he visited Zhou Xiuwen's house last time. Because his house was even more extravagant—it was practically a palace!

Although Jiang Hui had learned about the Hillman family's background from her friends, it was only a verbal and conceptual understanding. Seeing it with her own eyes was a completely different experience.

The mansion before her, which could be described as a palace, resembled the residence of a lost noble family from the old era of Blue Star—magnificent and resplendent, exuding the ostentatious air unique to aristocrats. The interior matched the exterior style perfectly, and one could even say it was more luxurious; standing there, she felt as if every brick was gleaming with gold. However, the atmosphere inside this mansion seemed different from that of Zhou Xiuwen's.

The last time they stayed at the Zhou residence, the people there were soldiers and guards, strictly following orders and not allowed to move around freely. Moreover, they all had solemn expressions, just like a military camp.

Well, given Zhou Yuanjing's status, the Zhou residence could indeed be considered a military camp in another sense. In short, the overall atmosphere at Zhou Xiuwen's house was relatively tense, with a feeling that it was impossible to relax.

Now, their experience at Hillman's mansion was completely different. It was luxurious, but quiet, with few servants around, which felt out of place in such a large house. It lacked any human presence, and even the diligent cleaners in the hallways were intelligent robots.

The huge house was unusually quiet, except for the lively group that had just been led in. The entire environment was so quiet that you could hear an echo if you shouted.

Uncle Aaron originally intended to personally lead Jiang Hui and the others to their private living room at the back, as the culinary team preparing dinner hadn't arrived yet. So, they could chat and enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea together beforehand.

Unfortunately, the other party wasn't as free as they seemed. Before they had even reached the halfway point, two people who appeared to be assistants came to remind them that they had urgent business. Helpless, the other party had no choice but to ask Hillman to help entertain the guests before hurriedly leaving.

Of course, this was Hillman's house. This guy was naturally outgoing, so why would he be embarrassed to be leading his friends around his own territory? In fact, without the pressure of his father around, he seemed even more lively than usual, constantly introducing the novelties in his hallway to Jiang Hui and the others.

It's not that Hillman was intentionally showing off; it's just the truth. His house really does have a lot of novelties that are hard to find elsewhere.

For example, it features rare intelligent conversational robots, photon transmitters, unusual staircases, and biomimetic walls that can be freely transformed and integrated via touch. This mansion is not only luxurious, but also houses countless achievements of contemporary technology, making it a veritable technology museum of the 732 stars.

but--

"Where is the others?" Jiang Hui asked casually.

Even though the day after tomorrow is a public holiday, this house is still too empty. Since they arrived, they haven't encountered anyone except Hillman's father, the butler, and the four of them.

Oh no, actually they did run into three or four more on the way, but two of them seemed to be assistants. They saw them pass by and hurried off as soon as they were done, looking very busy.

It's really a bit unusual that such a large house has so few people.

“Oh, there are indeed relatively few people living at my house. On weekdays, apart from me, the butler, and a few long-time employees, there are usually not many people in the house,” Hillman explained.

Of course, such a large house cannot be properly managed by just a few long-time employees and a butler. Therefore, the Hillman family usually hires a cleaning team regularly, and most of the other work in the house is done by intelligent robots and some new technological tools.
