Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 112: Boomerang hits Russell

"Which era's mothers are you talking about?" Russell asked this question with an unprecedented seriousness, nervousness and anticipation.

Luo Lin smiled and glanced at Him, not choosing to keep the secret, but simply said with a smile:
"Of course it's my mother from before I traveled through time. How about it, are you envious?"

Even though he had already suspected something when he knew about Rowling's magical Shadow of Time ability, Russell still widened his eyes at this moment, his breathing quickened, and he almost couldn't wait to say, "So you can indeed summon people from the old times."

"Of course I can." Luo Lin nodded without denying it. "I thought it was obvious."

Russell's expression became more serious than ever. He looked at Luo Lin and asked, "What price should I pay for you to help me see my parents?"

Luo Lin was not surprised by Russell's reaction. He smiled and then spoke slowly:

"No price required. As an employee benefit, I can help you see your loved ones once every three months."

After a pause, Rowling looked Russell up and down, shook his head, and continued, "But you probably can't enjoy this benefit now, or do you want your parents to see a polluted you?"

"No!" Russell shook his head instinctively. He naturally didn't want his parents to see him in a polluted state. Not to mention whether this would have a bad influence on his parents, even out of the thought of not wanting his parents to be sad for him, Russell didn't want to appear in front of his parents in that state.

Russell knew his parents very well. Even if they were separated by tens of millions of years, his parents would be very sad to see his polluted state.

Russell gritted his teeth, looked at Luo Lin, and said, "After I completely remove the contamination, you can help me reunite with my parents."

"Okay, I have no objection." Luo Lin smiled and nodded.

Russell glanced at Luo Lin again, sighed, and said through gritted teeth, "You really are a born capitalist."

If seeing relatives is an employee benefit, doesn't that mean He has to keep working?

"Nonsense, I'm a very conscientious businessman." Luo Lin smiled and answered seriously.

Russell persisted, "Besides working for you, can't I offer anything else in exchange for reuniting with my parents?"

"Sorry, employee benefits are employee benefits. If I really like you, I might make an exception for you, but unfortunately, who made you a bad person, and I don't like bad people!" Luo Lin shook his head and said this bluntly and generously.

Russell suddenly felt like a boomerang had hit him. He could tell that what the person in front of him said was true, which meant that the other party was unwilling to make an exception for him, really because of the bad things he had done in the past.

"Is this my retribution..." Russell smiled bitterly, his expression very bitter.

"Do you blame me?" Luo Lin asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Russell glanced at Luo Lin and said unhappily, "To say I don't blame you at all would be a lie, but I know clearly that this is all my own fault." His smile was tinged with self-mockery at the end. If he had chosen to be a good person back then, instead of allowing himself to fall, perhaps Luo Lin would be willing to make an exception for him today.

"It's terrible that I have a boss who doesn't like me when I work... Boss, you won't make things difficult for me again in the future, right?" Russell was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at Rowling and asked.

"Wow, you got into the mood so quickly?" Rowling teased.

"It's not so bad to work. Everyone's been a slave." Russell spread his hands, then smiled and said, "At least I still have the chance to reunite with my family and break free from everything and start a new life. This is already better than I could have imagined."

"You have a good attitude. Keep it up." Rowling patted Russell's shoulder. He then took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. "Well, it's almost time. See you next time, Mr. Russell. I hope that by the time we meet next time, you'll have come up with a mature plan for creating an extraordinary item."

After saying this, Luo Lin canceled the summons to the Shadow of Time without waiting for Russell's reaction. He then slowly said to Russell of this era, who had been in contact with him but had never spoken:
"You should have heard the conversation just now, Mr. Russell. What do you think about this?"

"You really are a born capitalist." Russell's slightly tired voice sounded in Rowling's ears.

"Really? Then do you want to see the methods of the capitalists, such as killing two birds with one stone. I will make you work for me and use this as a condition to make Bernadette work for me until she dies." Rowling said with a smile.

"Fuck!" Russell's voice rang out again. It was unclear whether he was surprised or cursing, but he quickly reacted and said:

"You wouldn't do that, otherwise you wouldn't have to tell me this. Besides, unlike a rotten person like me, Bernadette is a good kid, unless everything you said before was a lie."

"I certainly wouldn't do that." Luo Lin smiled and said slowly, "Because I'm a conscientious businessman, I will respect the opinions of my employees. Russell, do you want me to contact Bernadette?"

Rowling really didn't plan to kill two birds with one stone. Although it was easy for him to control Bernadette with Roselle in his hand, he didn't even need to deceive Bernadette. He could get help by just telling the truth.

But why should we do this?

Rowling has no shortage of Sequence 3 fighters, and after reaching a cooperation with the Creator camp, he also has no shortage of the power of a mysterious queen, so Rowling has no need to touch Roselle's reverse scale for Bernadette.

He was more inclined to let Russell decide on this matter himself.

Russell was silent for a long time before he said, "You really have given me a difficult problem."

Roselle was really conflicted. On the one hand, he didn't really want Bernadette to contact Rowling. After all, Roselle was not a fool. Whether it was the power that was completely different from that of the Mother Goddess but could suppress the Mother Goddess's pollution, or some things that the Black Emperor could vaguely perceive, they were all telling Roselle the danger of the guy opposite him named Rowling.

No father would want his daughter to come into contact with such a dangerous person.

On the other hand, Russell knew very well that the end of the world was inevitable. He could no longer rely on himself and had to wait for Rowling to save him. In this situation, it was not bad for his daughter to have someone to rely on. At least Rowling looked like a principled man and was very powerful. Maybe he could save his daughter's life at the end of the world.
