Eileen stared blankly at Lanwei, then at her equally bewildered mother beside her, completely unaware of what this meant.

Eileen's mother was just an ordinary person from the bottom of society. Although she knew that there were high-ranking psionicists in the world, those important figures were too far removed from her life.

She awkwardly held her daughter in her arms, as if afraid that something bad had happened.

Lanwei noticed the woman's unease and patiently explained:

"Mother Eileen, don't worry. Eileen has awakened an extremely high talent, which is a great thing for you. The Empire has always valued geniuses and will definitely send someone to nurture her well."

Lu Ge laughed loudly, "Eileen, did you hear that? You have great talent! You'll be a master in the future, able to protect your mother and never have to worry about being bullied by scum like Pike again!"

Hearing Lu Ge's words, Eileen's eyes lit up.

Yes! I want to become stronger! I want to protect my mother and the people I care about!

She nodded heavily, tears welling up in her eyes again, but this time, they were tears of joy.

Eileen wiped away her tears and knelt down on the ground with her mother with a thud.

She kowtowed repeatedly to Lan Wei, Lu Ge, Miran, Lin Hui, Li Jianjun, Chu Ling, and others in turn.

"Thank you, my benefactors! Thank you, everyone! If it weren't for you all today, my mother and I would have died long ago... let alone awakened our psychic powers..." Eileen's voice choked with emotion.

Lu Ge quickly stepped forward and helped the mother and daughter up.

He frequented the Dragon Tavern and had long regarded this diligent and optimistic little girl as his own sister.

He was happier than anyone else to see Eileen turn misfortune into good fortune.

"That way, even if we go to the next survival instance, this girl will be fine and I won't have to worry about her," Lu Ge thought to himself.

Standing at the back of the crowd, Lin Hui watched this scene and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Ultimately, the reason Eileen and her mother suffered this undeserved misfortune was because the Mechanicus wanted to use them as bait to lure them in.

I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren almost lost his life because of me.

Although Lin Hui didn't consider himself a pushover, he didn't like owing others karma.

"However, after what happened today, we must plan ahead."

He pondered silently in his heart:

"The Cult of Mechanics has just reached a preliminary deal with me through Dominic. Before the deal is finalized, they are unlikely to target anyone close to me. But once they discover the deal is fake, there's no guarantee they won't turn their attention to the Radiant Yellow Chamber of Commerce."

"In the next few days, we should have collected enough scrap metal within the Empire's territory. Then, we'll gather all the core members of the Radiant Yellow Merchant Guild in one place. That way, everyone can look out for each other, and even if something happens, it'll be convenient for me to drive my RV there to provide support."

Suppressing his thoughts, Lin Hui turned to look at the five or six hundred Mechanicus followers on the ground and asked, "Lan Wei, what do you plan to do with these people?"

Lanwei looked at the trembling believers and sighed:

"It can only be handed over to the court. According to the latest rules of the Imperial Supreme Council, those who were just deceived and did not commit any actual crimes can be released after being detained for a few days and passing a test of their thinking."

As for those fanatical believers who have been deeply brainwashed and have even harmed others, they will face long prison sentences, or even being burned at the stake.

Just then, Pique, who had just fainted, woke up in a gust of cold wind.

When he managed to open his swollen eyes and saw Eileen's mother standing there, lively and energetic, while Eileen even unleashed her psionic radiance, becoming a high-ranking psionic being...

"puff!"

Extreme jealousy and resentment, coupled with excruciating physical pain, caused Pique to spit out a mouthful of black blood, his eyes rolled back, and he died instantly.

Because the consciousness collector is in Lin Hui's hands and has not yet been uploaded to the consciousness storage pillar, Pike cannot transform into a robot!

Not long after, Karon, the presiding judge of the Ironridge City Tribunal branch, personally led a team of fully armed judges to the scene.

They swiftly and efficiently escorted Septián Horn and the five or six hundred followers away.

Just as the people from the courtroom left, a blinding white lightning bolt suddenly streaked across the night sky!

"boom!"

The lightning struck precisely on the open ground outside the textile factory, and Reno strode out from the flash.

He was a calm person, but the moment he appeared, his gaze was fixed on Eileen.

"What a promising talent! What a promising talent!" Renault circled Eileen twice, rubbing his hands excitedly.

Lanwei smiled and said to Eileen, "Eileen, from now on, Captain Reno will be your teacher. He is the strongest elemental psionicist in Ironspine City, and his guidance will be sufficient for you in the early stages."

Eileen bowed obediently and said shyly, "Hello, teacher. I will definitely work hard in my cultivation from now on!"

"Okay!" Renault helped Eileen up.

He had already secretly investigated her, and this little girl's elemental spiritual energy talent was terrifying. Given time, she would definitely have a chance to break through to the 9th rank!

......

After much commotion, the crowd finally dispersed.

Lin Hui and Lan Wei walked back to the military compound side by side.

As Lin Hui's bodyguard, Lan Wei naturally had to live under the same roof as him.

The next morning.

"Squeak."

Lin Hui pushed open the door to the master bedroom and had just yawned when he saw Lan Wei standing outside the door.

Is it really necessary to be this dedicated?

Did you stand there all night?

Lan Wei bowed slightly: "Mr. Lin, good morning..."

"Good morning." Lin Hui smiled and, without any pretense, took out a large pile of fresh ingredients from the alternate dimension and handed them to Li Xian, the Chamber of Commerce's exclusive chef, instructing him to prepare an authentic Cantonese morning tea.

Not long after.

Shrimp dumplings, siu mai, char siu bao, durian pastries, congee with preserved egg and lean pork, Pu-erh tea, and other delicacies filled the table.

As Lan Wei gazed at the exquisitely presented delicacies, her gentle blue eyes widened slightly.

"Sit down, let's eat together." Lin Hui pointed to the chair opposite him.

Lan Wei nodded gently. When she took her first bite of the crystal shrimp dumpling, the delicious broth exploded in her mouth. This peak 8th-tier empire actually showed a satisfied expression like a little girl.

"Eat your fill." Lin Hui picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Once you're full, I'll take you to my RV today to experience a whole new lifestyle."

The next few days.

Lin Hui's main task was to act as a firefighter when the Ke-type creatures launched a large-scale invasion.
