Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 219 The Future of Humanity is in Cattleya's Hands
Russell immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at Bernadette and saw her giving him a perfect fake smile. His heart instantly rose to his throat, and he immediately said:

"I have no opinion on this. It's all my own fault. I was too depraved in the past. I swear I will never do that again. I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a new person."

Bernadette glanced at Russell without commenting on her father's remarks. She then looked at Luo Lin with a slightly restrained expression and said:

"Hello, Your Highness Lucifer, my father has told me about you. I really appreciate your help. If it weren't for you, I might never see my father again in this life..."

It can be seen that although Bernadette has a lot of opinions about Roselle's scumbag attributes, she really cares about her father and her gratitude to Rowling is completely sincere.

Luo Lin listened quietly to Bernadette's words of gratitude, took a sip of his tea, and said with a smile, "It's just a deal. I need your father's strength, and your father needs my help. It's fair."

"Even so, you are still my benefactor." Bernadette said seriously. She certainly knew the deal between Rowling and her father, but that did not prevent her from being grateful to Rowling.

Luo Lin smiled when he heard this, and suddenly said, "If you are really that grateful to me, I just happen to need your help with something."

"What help?" Before Bernadette could even begin to speak, Russell, who was standing beside her, became alert. He looked Rowling up and down as if he were sizing up a pig coveting his cabbage, and asked suspiciously, "Bernadette is only Sequence 3. What can she do for you? Is there anything I can't do?"

Luo Lin could naturally see what Russell was thinking. He couldn't help but roll his eyes, then said with a smile: "You really can't do this."

"Please tell me. As long as it's something I can do, I will do my best to help." Bernadette stopped Roselle who was about to say something and spoke.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I just want you to contact someone." Luo Lin didn't keep the secret and said with a smile, "There's a crew member named Frank on Cattleya's Future. I need you to help me contact him."

Frank?
Bernadette was stunned for a moment, then she carefully recalled Cattleya's crew and found that there seemed to be such a person among them. He seemed to be a Sequence 6 biologist and the first mate of the Future.

"May I ask what you want from this crew member named Frank?" Bernadette asked after hesitating for a moment.

She remembered that Cattleya paid more attention to most of the crew members on the Future, so Bernadette still wanted to ask more about this matter.

"It's not a bad thing. I'm currently looking for some talented scientific researchers to study the mysteries of the human body and solve various medical problems. Frank is a genius in the field of biology, so I want to invite him to work in my lab."

Luo Lin smiled and said, although his laboratory was still in its infancy, Luo Lin felt that it was not a big problem. As long as the people were in place, with the support of the Aurora Society and the Church of Mother Earth, why would he be afraid of not being able to get the relevant equipment?

Once people and materials are available, setting up a laboratory will only take a few minutes.

Bernadette was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting such a result. She nodded hesitantly and said, "Okay, I'll notify Cattleya and will definitely reply to you as soon as possible."

"Wait, who is this Cattleya?" Russell, who was listening in, finally couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, didn't I tell you? Cattleya is Bernadette's daughter!" Rowling blinked and spoke before Bernadette could.

Bernadette was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips, and wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, she said nothing.
Because Bernadette didn't know how to define Cattleya, it seemed okay to say that she was her daughter.

Russell had been expecting Bernadette's rebuttal, but seeing her acquiescent attitude, he felt as if the sky had fallen. He looked at Rowling and then at Bernadette, and after hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who is the father of that child?" Russell's expression almost read "I want to see which brat stole my cabbage."

Bernadette was stunned again when she heard this, then she realized what was happening and felt a little amused.

"Pfft!" Luo Lin laughed out loud. He didn't keep the secret and said with a smile, "Ah, I almost forgot to mention that Cattleya is an adopted daughter."

Russell was stunned for a moment, then almost subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Adopted daughter, that’s okay.

"Dad!" Bernadette couldn't help but call out to Russell with a hint of dissatisfaction. She looked at her old father, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm grown up now."

The implication is that it would be normal even if I really got married.

Although Bernadette currently has no intention of falling in love or getting married, she is a little speechless about her father's attitude of being on guard against a possible son-in-law like a wolf.

"Ahem, I'm just... just like my old father!" Russell coughed uncomfortably, glanced at Bernadette, and said with a hint of melancholy, "Bernadette, you've really grown up."

"But..." Russell suddenly changed the subject and emphasized, "Dad isn't against you dating, it's just that there are too many scumbags in this world. So, Bernadette, if you really like someone, you must let Dad check it out for you."

It’s not that Russell couldn’t accept Bernadette falling in love or getting married, but he was really afraid that one day in the future Bernadette would meet a scumbag like him, or a yellow-haired guy would appear and say to him, “Old Deng, I hope my will-o’-the-wisp parked at your door won’t be stolen.”

If that happened, Russell would really faint from anger.

"Dad, my vision is not that bad!" Bernadette almost rolled her eyes, thinking that her father's worries were groundless.

……

For Cattleya, this was just an ordinary day.

As usual, she inspected the entire Future and confirmed that the group of problem children on the Future did not cause any trouble. Then she returned to her room and was about to read when she suddenly felt a breeze blowing by.

Cattleya perked up almost immediately, realizing something and looking towards the table. Sure enough, she saw an extra letter on the table.

A letter from the mysterious Queen Bernadette.

Cattleya immediately opened the envelope and read the letter inside, wanting to see what instructions Bernadette had for her.

But this time, Cattleya's brows furrowed more and more as she looked at him. At the end, her expression was puzzled and hesitant: "Queen, why..."
