Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 321 Complaint

"This is already considered good," Luo Ping sighed. "Second brother, you've been away from home for many years, so you don't know much about these things in the family. After Dad signed the contract with the Virtual Universe Company, things were fine at first, but now, this Earth is no longer our Earthling territory; it's practically become the domain of alien immigrants. Those alien immigrants, under the guise of sightseeing and shopping, come to our land, acting arrogantly and domineeringly, completely disregarding us Earthlings."

"Who among us dares to provoke them?"

"There's nothing we can do but swallow our anger!"

"Perhaps they still have some reservations. Although they act domineeringly, they haven't dared to drive us away yet," Luo Ping sighed helplessly.

The contract that Luo Feng signed with Virtual Universe Company back then clearly stipulated that the alien immigrants to the floating city must not disturb the lives of Earthlings.

However, all of this now seems like a piece of waste paper.

Although the contract stipulated certain terms, the alien immigrants always found excuses. They clearly oppressed Earthlings, yet insisted they were merely making friends and hadn't disturbed their lives. This kind of bickering was truly difficult to explain.

Moreover, these alien immigrants are all extraordinary individuals, almost all of whom are connected to the most elite families in the universe, and many of them have direct access to the highest levels of the Giant Axe Arena and the Virtual Universe Company.

The founder of the Giant Axe once visited Earth and noticed its unique characteristics. Most of the strongest individuals in the human race have their own families, and it's understandable that some elite members of these families would be sent to Earth. However, these elites possess an inherent pride; after all, the forces behind them are powerful, and how could a genius who hasn't fully matured dare to easily offend so many of them?

Outside, Jiang Ye and Ai Chen exchanged a glance.

"Jiang Ye, should we..." Ai Chen didn't finish her sentence, but Jiang Ye already understood what she meant.

"Let's go, let's go inside first!" Jiang Ye gave Ai Chen a reassuring look and then said.

Jiang Ye and Ai Chen pushed open the door and entered. Xu Xin was slightly taken aback when she saw Ai Chen arrive, then smiled gently, "Ai Chen! What brings you here!"

His gaze then fell on Jiang Ye, who was standing next to Ai Chen, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Sister Xu Xin, I've come to see you." Although Ai Chen is much older than Xu Xin in terms of actual age, Xu Xin looks more mature and composed, and Ai Chen is happy to call Xu Xin "sister".

"Sister Xu Xin, this is Jiang Ye, I've mentioned him to you often." Ai Chen pulled Jiang Ye's arm and introduced him with a smile.

"Greetings, Your Highness Jiang Ye." Xu Xin bowed respectfully.

"Just call me Jiang Ye, there's no need to address me as Your Highness. Luo Feng and I are actually fellow disciples..." Jiang Ye quickly said, his tone friendly and approachable, trying to ease Xu Xin's awkwardness.

Xu Xin stood up and smiled at Ai Chen and Jiang Ye, saying, "These are my two children. This is Luo Ping, who has always stayed by my side and helped me manage Pinghai Company."

Luo Ping smiled politely and bowed slightly to Ai Chen and Jiang Ye.

Xu Xin then pointed to the more robust young man next to her and continued, "This is Luo Hai. This kid has always been passionate about exploring the universe and only just returned a few days ago."

“Luo Ping, Luo Hai! These are your father’s friends. Aunt Ai Chen! Uncle Jiang Ye!” Xu Xin said to the two young men.

"Aunt Aichen! Uncle Jiang Ye!"

Luo Ping and Luo Hai greeted Ai Chen and Jiang Ye.

"Hello!" Jiang Ye and Ai Chen smiled and nodded in response.

"Aunt Aichen, how have you been lately? If there's anything I haven't taken care of, I'll have my staff fix it," Luo Ping asked with concern. "No need, I'm doing fine," Aichen replied.

At this moment, Luo Hai asked curiously, "Uncle Jiang Ye, I heard from my father that you are amazing! He is no match for you, and none of the geniuses in the company are as good as you! You are the most talented person."

"Xiao Hai! Don't be rude!" Xu Xin frowned.

"It's nothing," Jiang Ye said with a smile, waving his hand. "They're just empty titles."

Luo Hai looked at Jiang Ye's amiable expression and was about to ask more questions when he was stopped by Luo Ping's gaze.

Seeing this, Xu Xin smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Little Luo Hai is very curious, Your Highness... Jiang Ye, please don't mind. The company has just developed a new batch of tea with a unique taste, and I've been thinking of finding an opportunity for Ai Chen to try it. Luo Ping, Luo Hai, you two go and get the tea."

Although Luo Hai was somewhat reluctant, he still obediently followed Luo Ping out of the study.

After the two left, Xu Xin looked at Jiang Ye and Ai Chen with a hint of apology: "This child has been adventuring in space all his life, and he's gotten used to being reckless."

Jiang Ye smiled and shook his head: "You flatter me. Luo Hai is straightforward and full of curiosity about the unknown, which is a good thing. Young people should have this kind of drive."

……

As soon as the two brothers walked out, Luo Ping couldn't help but say, "Second brother, why did you complain to Mom about this? As the person in charge of Earth, how could she not know these things? Aren't you just making her upset? Don't you know how terrifying those immigrants' backers are?"

"I, I... I was just feeling really angry," Luo Hai said weakly.

"Feeling bad? How many times have you come back to Earth all these years? You've been out there all the time. Although you're now at the cosmic level, you have many secret techniques and treasures prepared for you by your father... so naturally you're powerful. Moreover, for your safety, your mother even had you carry a world lord-level life form to protect you. Putting aside your strength, when you're out there, with your status, who among those powerful beings would dare to provoke you? You're used to being carefree and unrestrained, and you've never suffered a loss!"

"But your parents are different from you."

"Dad is the pillar of our Luo family, the pillar of our Earthlings! He's in the limelight, the object of envy. In the universe, he's coveted by powerful alien beings, all of whom want to assassinate him. Mom, on the other hand, manages all affairs for the Earth, the family, and the company, maintaining various interests so that Dad has no worries."

"So what if we're being bullied? We get bullied on Earth, we just have to endure it. As long as Dad gets stronger, those alien immigrants will naturally back down. Just endure it, endure it until Dad becomes a super being in the universe... and all this trouble will disappear." Luo Ping looked at his younger brother. "As his family, we shouldn't cause him any trouble. Mom and Dad, they've had enough."

"Hmm." Luo Hai also felt a pang of regret. "I... I just couldn't stand it..."

"Who can stand it?"

Luo Ping shook his head. "That's just how the world is. Whoever has the bigger fist is the strongest! Many of those immigrants have incredibly powerful backers. It's said they're connected to the highest levels of the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena! Those are the highest levels! How could those privileged kids possibly respect us? They're only wary of Dad."

"Mm." Luo Hai nodded.

"Wait, wait until Dad becomes a super being, then all those petty scoundrels will behave themselves." Luo Ping sighed, not expecting his father to have any solutions.

The saying goes, "It's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with his underlings."

Those lofty and great beings have existed for eternity, their families spanning countless generations. How many of their descendants have actually seen their family's founder? The existence of the Lord of the Universe? Although they have never seen him, their inherent pride is natural. Just like the Luo family members, because of Luo Feng, they naturally exude arrogance. They are proud because of Luo Feng.

And it's even easier to imagine the arrogance of those families whose founders were rulers of the universe.

Moreover, there are a whole group of these privileged children on Earth!
