I am a hero of the former civilization.

For some reason, Mebius suddenly felt better, and he arrogantly raised his chin, continuing to stare at Ryan.

“Mei, we’ve finally arrived.” Kevin walked over, his face full of happiness, and scratched his head: “I didn’t expect you to agree this time.”

If there were a happiness ranking, Kevin would definitely be at the top. It was a pleasant surprise for him, and he thanked Ryan and Alicia a hundred times in his heart.

“I’m your girlfriend, so of course I should spend time with you when I’m not working. Besides, I’d also like to see Alicia and Ryan.” May smiled mysteriously, clearly indicating that this wasn’t just a simple vacation and that she had a specific purpose.

Kevin had actually noticed that the Fusion Warrior program had recently begun, and May was very busy. It would be great if she could have a couple of meals with him in the cafeteria, but he didn't care.

"What are you looking at?"

Mei, who had been observing back and forth, turned her head and chuckled softly, "A very lively comedy."

Comedy? I don't see it that way.

Kevin scratched his head again, only to see many people leaving the villa, while a familiar figure stood by the pool, waiting for the helicopter to land, and couldn't help but wave and greet him.

"That idiot Kevin really got a bargain this time."

The oars flapped against his trench coat, and Ryan looked up and immediately spotted the jubilant white-haired youth.

At a time like this, Mei has no time to spend with him; she's clearly after him.

Mei was also the planner, so of course she knew who was hunting Shesa. With her intelligence, she could definitely analyze the abnormality of the Fourth Herrscher.

Well, I'll have to explain it to her eventually.

Ryan didn't take it to heart; they had plenty of time to talk about work.

They stood there quietly until the helicopter landed, the cabin door opened, and Kevin and Sue were the first to jump out.

"Happy birthday!"

The three hugged; their friendship had never changed. However, Su was much smarter and whispered:

"Your birthday won't be easy."

"Well, it's better than fighting on the battlefield, right? You two keep a close eye on Hua for me, and whatever you do, don't let her drink."

"why?"

Ryan's face immediately darkened, showing lingering fear: "Because she will make things more complicated."

He didn't explain, but looked at Mei again. The two of them didn't say anything, but their eyes communicated everything.

Let's talk in detail once things have calmed down.

it is good.

Ryan and May were purely on official business, but chatting at this time would be a real mood killer, so they looked directly at Hua.

The girl was somewhat uneasy, knowing that she had made things difficult for Ryan at the beach last time; if he hadn't come up with a quick idea, Mebius's scheme would have succeeded.

"Brother, I..."

Just as she was about to explain, she saw Ryan's hand reach out, and she quickly closed her eyes.

"Lost at cards again, didn't you? You didn't even tear off the slips of paper properly." Ryan's tone was gentle as he tore off a slip of paper and called out to those behind him, "Aren't you two ashamed to bully a little girl?"

"Kevin, this villa is nice. Ryan must have saved up a lot of money behind the scenes."

"Mei, did you bring your swimsuit? There's a swimming pool here."

Damn, those two bastards.

Ryan wanted to send them a gesture of international goodwill, and in a daze, he was back in school, to the days when the three of them would playfully tease each other.

“Senior brother, you two have such a good relationship.” Hua suddenly spoke up, and what he said next made Ryan’s smile freeze. “Kevin told me a lot of things, such as you helping him cheat, and he also said that you are a repressed and secretly passionate person.”

This big mouth dares to ruin my glorious image.

Ryan was furious. He glared back at the person behind him, who quickly hid inside the villa. Ryan snorted and glanced down at the person.

Today, Hua was dressed casually, wearing a plain down jacket, black shorts, gray cotton socks, and brown leather boots, which made her legs look slender and long, giving her a girl-next-door vibe.

"Ahem, don't listen to his nonsense. I just have a unique perspective on beauty."

"So that's why Dr. Mebius gave you a gift?"

Ryan's breath hitched. He finally understood why Hua had dressed up. He thought to himself that the woman was ruining her image everywhere, causing both Ying and Hua to misunderstand each other.

Fortunately, at that moment, a taxi stopped in front of the villa, and a red-haired woman got out. Hua was overjoyed when he saw her.

"team leader!"

Himiko, you've come at the right time.

Ryan secretly gave a thumbs up. Actually, he wasn't familiar with Himiko; she was invited by Alicia. But seeing her, he couldn't help but think of the Fourth Herrscher.

The woman hid in the darkness, stunned for a moment, before reverting to her tough, tomboyish demeanor.

"Go find her, Himiko is in a bad mood."

"why?"

Ryan hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "The Fourth Herrscher is Lieutenant Rose."

The voice was very soft, but it sounded like a muffled thunderclap in Hua's ears, causing his already blank face to completely lose its expression.

When she was in the Far East branch, Rose had already become the captain of another combat team. Although they weren't very close, she knew that Rose and Himiko were best friends.

"this......."

"Keep it a secret. Go and talk to your captain so he won't feel so bad when he finds out." Ryan paused, then patted the girl's thin shoulder. "You look great today. You're becoming more and more like an adult."

"Ah."

Hua was secretly pleased, but when he saw Himiko's heavy expression and even a hint of fear in Rose's eyes, he bowed slightly, turned and left. After taking a few steps, he quickly slipped a box into Ryan's hand.

"Senior brother, this is my gift!"

Her face flushed slightly, and she turned and ran away, leaving Ryan completely bewildered.

I understand this girl less and less.

Ryan put away the gift box, took a deep breath, and walked towards the biggest boss.

"Mebius, do you want me to treat you?"

Mebius sat by the cabin door, while Klein got down first, bowing repeatedly to congratulate Ryan, which made him somewhat depressed.

It's not my 80th birthday, so there's nothing to congratulate me on.

But that's just how Klein is, so he had no choice but to let her go in with May while he stood in front of the helicopter.

"Congratulations on turning twenty. Such an achievement is rare in human history, and it makes people more forgiving of your naiveté." Möbius stepped off the plane, speaking slowly and deliberately.

Ryan's eyelids twitched, a strange feeling washed over him, and he smiled along.

"Yes, Aunt Mebius, are you envious of the youthful energy of us young people?"

"You dare call yourself youthful and energetic? You're more like an old pedant! Wait, what did you call me?!"

Mebius suddenly realized what was happening, and his face instantly turned fierce, but Ryan wasn't afraid at all.

"Auntie, have I made you sound too young? Well then, how about Grandma Möbius?"

"you dare!"

"I dare you, go ahead and fly back if you dare."

The two spoke a little loudly, drawing the attention of the others on the lawn. Kevin looked at Mei with some confusion.

"Why are you arguing as soon as you arrive?"

“Kevin, haven’t you noticed—” The girl smiled calmly, with an expression that seemed to see through everything.

Are they really that close?

Chapter 117 Ryan's Birthday Party

If Ryan heard what May said, he'd probably be spitting blood. He'd have to ask her which eye saw the relationship getting better.

Mebius didn't leave in the end, and Ryan didn't have time to argue with her. Alicia was unreliable; she promised to be the commander-in-chief, but ended up leaving all the trouble to Ryan.

So he introduced Himiko to everyone, then called to ask when Kon would arrive, and finally led everyone to the front of the villa.

The glass door was tightly closed, and the curtains were drawn, giving it a mysterious look.

“Ryan, looks like Alicia has a surprise for you?” Menu gestured for him to go first.

"Come on, she clearly wanted to celebrate her birthday, but she insisted on using my name." Ryan stepped forward. If it were during a battle, he would have definitely used electromagnetic force to detect her, but this time it had nothing to do with the fighting.

"Miss Alicia shares the same birthday as you?" Himiko asked curiously. It was too much of a coincidence that the two strongest humans shared the same birthday.

"No, I'm number 10 and she's number 11, but it's 9 p.m. on the 10th now, so it's a seamless transition."

Ryan also found it quite a coincidence. He opened the door and heard two 'bangs' as ribbons fell on his head.

The man was somewhat dazed. For a moment, the sound that resembled a gunshot made him instinctively tense his muscles, and then he realized that this was not a battlefield.

Happy birthday, Ryan!

Alicia jumped over and stuffed a gift into his hand. Then, he heard enthusiastic applause.

Happy birthday, Ryan.

The voices were all talking at once, creating an unusually noisy atmosphere that left Ryan somewhat disoriented.

Have I been in this world for twenty years?

Many images flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern: the ecstasy of just regaining consciousness, the excruciating fear of discovering I was in a pre-civilization era, and the hope of awakening to my destiny.

He has killed people, hunted beasts, fought against the Lawbringers, been immersed in the ocean of knowledge, and fought on the battlefield. Even his final plan has been changed several times.

I think my initial thought was simply to get a spot in a cryogenic chamber so I could survive until 50,000 years from now.

He didn't know how fate had led him to this point; he only came to his senses, turned around, and glanced at the familiar faces.

Whatever, I'm living a pretty comfortable life anyway.

Unbeknownst to him, Ryan had completely integrated into this world, and even though he tried to minimize the butterfly effect, a large group of people had gathered around him.

He saw the Hen family rushing over, and the little girl they were holding, about three or four years old, with short sky-blue hair and a very cute chubby face.

Grayshu?
