I rely on myself

Chapter 742 My Own Thoughts

While the Lin Yuans in the foggy space were communicating with each other, the only absent person was listening to the report from his subordinates.

"The news from our family, although there are still some secretive eyes, is still within the range that we can handle. However, to be on the safe side, not only your parents, but even the head of the family hopes that you will return home as soon as possible... That's all, Master Lin Yuan."

Lin Yuan did not say anything after hearing the report from his maid, Virginie, who was also his good assistant, over the phone. Instead, he asked about other things: "Put this aside for now. How is the situation with Alice?"

"Ms. Alice and Mr. Xin have been staying in the house you arranged for them. Mr. Xin sometimes goes out to buy things, but he is well disguised, so he should not be discovered by others. Please rest assured."

"Okay, that's fine. I'll explain to my family myself, so I won't bother you to pass it on. Thank you for your hard work, Virginie. You have to help me pass on the message so late at night. You should go to bed early."

"No, Master Lin Yuan, it's my honor. Thank you for your concern. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave now."

"Ok."

As the phone was hung up, Lin Yuan's brain started working. No one knew what he was thinking about. After a while, Arthur, who was guarding him, couldn't help but feel worried, so he walked up to Lin Yuan and said.

"Lin Yuan, are you okay?"

"…Oh, I'm fine. Is it that late already? I seem to have been lost in thought. I'm sorry for making you worry."

Arthur's words instantly woke Lin Yuan from his deep thoughts. He looked at the hands of the clock, which were almost pointing to the late night world. He also realized that he had been thinking for too long, which made Arthur and the others worried.

Although Lin Yuan said to reassure him, Arthur was still worried when he saw Lin Yuan's appearance, so he asked directly: "So is there any problem? Tell us, maybe we can help, right?"

When Arthur said this, Karna and Xiang Yu, who were also in the workshop and were doing their own things, turned their gazes towards Lin Yuan and directly expressed their attitudes.

In response to this, Lin Yuan's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up, outlining a warm smile. Although the three of them were heroic dolls created by him, in terms of relationship, they were more like family members.

Lin Yuan naturally would not hide anything from his trusted family, and directly told them his worries: "It's nothing else, it's just that my hometown is urging me to go back as soon as possible, but we also know that once I go back, it goes without saying that I will have to start the plan, and then I won't be as relaxed as I am now, so if possible, I want to be selfish and at least wait until the night party is over before going back. Do you have anything to say?"

After hearing what Lin Yuan said, Arthur and the other three looked at each other, and finally Arthur, the heroic spirit doll that originally accompanied Lin Yuan, spoke up as a representative: "To put it bluntly, Lin Yuan, you want to slack off a little at the end, right?"

"...That's right."

Although Arthur's words were a bit strange, the meaning was almost the same, so Lin Yuan admitted it directly. After hearing Lin Yuan's admission, Arthur continued, "Then it's up to you."

"Alas! But..." "There is no but. You said it yourself. This is your own idea. I believe you have also considered the domestic situation and know that there is still some time, so you have such an idea. In this case, we, as your heroic spirit puppets, will naturally listen to you. It's a simple truth, isn't it?"

Arthur spread out his hands, acting as if everything was actually very simple and could be solved by just talking it out. After being reminded of this, Lin Yuan knew why he was so conflicted and things became clear to him.

"So what is your choice?" Arthur finally confirmed.

Lin Yuan also looked relieved and replied, "I want to wait until the party is over before returning home. Of course, this is premised on no accidents happening back home. If something does happen, then I'll just rush back."

Hearing this answer, Arthur and the other three heroic spirit dolls all laughed. Arthur said, "That's good. There's nothing to worry about. As long as you are determined to do something, we will help you."

"Thanks."

After a good night's sleep, Lin Yuan walked on the campus early the next morning. The number of students he met on the road gradually increased. This was because the summer vacation was about to end. Similarly, the break in the night party was about to end, and the competition for the title of Demon King would begin again.

Looking at the increasing number of people on campus, Lin Yuan sighed: "It seems that everyone is back. There will be another good show to watch next."

"Although it may be a bit redundant, if possible, it would be better for you to pay a little more attention. After all, you are facing elites from all over the world. No one knows whether the other party will have any trump cards. If you are not careful, it will be bad."

Although he knew that the possibility of Lin Yuan falling into the trap due to carelessness was very small, Arthur still reminded Lin Yuan for the sake of caution. After all, there were many examples in the past that proved that such a possibility was not impossible.

Lin Yuan smiled and assured him again and again: "I know what you mean, Arthur. Don't worry, I'm not that exaggerated. I just stayed in the academy for so many days during the summer vacation, and I'm more or less bored, so I said that."

Just as Lin Yuan and Arthur were chatting, a conversation between two students nearby suddenly caught their attention.

"Hey, have you heard about it? About the Black Prince!"

"Of course. How could I not know about such a big thing? I heard that the Black Prince Edmund escaped on the way to the capital and is now missing. Although there are some eyewitness reports about him, no one knows what the final outcome is. We only know that the British royal family is still looking for him."

"I see. It seems that the British royal family is really anxious this time."

"Oh, that's right. After all, the Black Prince holds the information about the Absolute Kingship. Once any country gets that information, it will be equivalent to having the ability to directly control any mechanical puppets. It can basically be said that a country's military power is forcibly taken away. Of course, no country wants to let go of such a powerful thing. Therefore, in addition to the British royal family, people from other major powers are also actively looking for the Black Prince's traces."
