Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

Estella couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Jiang Jiu! I didn't know you and Ms. Black Tower had that kind of... relationship. Please forgive me for my rudeness!!"

The little girl panicked instantly.

She had initially thought that Jiang Jiu must have something important to do, or something that Ms. Black Tower was interested in, to have called her back.

I never imagined it was that kind of relationship!!!

But that makes sense...

If it weren't for that kind of relationship, Ms. Black Tower herself would never have made a special trip from the edge of the galaxy back to the space station.

There's absolutely no need for that...

[You little brat, you're playing word games with me! Luckily, saying these things has a similar effect, otherwise I would have wasted my points...]

[It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all! Isn't this fun? Look how interesting it is!]

[Hahahaha... Interesting, interesting. Suddenly, they've gone from intruders on the Black Tower Space Station to honored guests. That's intriguing.]

[What to do? Hahaha, I'm already looking forward to what will happen after the Black Tower is discovered.]

That must be a really interesting and romantic scene, right? You think so too, don't you?

[Tsk, why do you keep saying things that sound so off?]

Leave me alone.

【Oh. 】

"Shhh?"

Jiang Jiu placed a finger in front of him and chuckled.

"Not many people know this news. I'm only telling you this because I think you're the stationmaster of the Black Tower Space Station."

Estella instantly looked as if she had been entrusted with an important task.

"Don't worry! I promise I won't reveal a single word! You can be completely assured of that! However..."

"only?"

Estella rested her chin on one hand, somewhat annoyed.

"May I ask your identity? After all, Ms. Black Tower is just too outstanding. I really can't imagine what kind of person could catch her eye."

"I didn't mean to say anything bad about you, it's just... just..."

Estella lowered her head, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.

Jiang Jiu understood what he meant and couldn't help but smile softly.

"Indeed, Black Tower probably wouldn't even give a second glance to an ordinary person, right?"

He rested his chin on his hand and said, pretending not to care, "Actually, I didn't want to say much about my identity, but... since you've asked, it seems impolite of me not to answer."

"I'm sorry, given our current relationship, I can only tell you that I am a Void Messenger. I can't say anything more, and you can't ask me anything more."

Damn it, he got to pretend to be having fun!

Seeing him enjoy himself makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable all over! It's infuriating...

[I find this feeling of having others completely under one's control quite intriguing. I just wonder how long this little liar, Jiang Jiu, can maintain this facade? And how long will it take before his lies are exposed?]

[What are you all talking about? Although we all know Jiang Jiu deliberately made Estella misunderstand his relationship with the Black Tower, from beginning to end... he doesn't seem to have lied? If the truth really comes out...]

So, was it simply that Estelle misunderstood his words?

[This is interesting! So funny, hahaha!!!]

So, when will it be? I can't wait!

"Void...commander...?"

Estella repeated the phrase unconsciously, her mind buzzing.

Her first reaction was: Wow! So it's the Envoy! No wonder he's worthy of Lady Black Tower!

Second reaction: Wait a minute... what destiny? Nothingness? A self-destructive being?

Jiang Jiu didn't wait long. Seeing that Estella looked stunned, he raised his hand and waved it in front of her. When Estella came back to her senses, he smiled gently.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I can help with the question you asked earlier. Is there anything else?"

Estelle nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook her head.

"No, no! I'm already very happy that you're willing to answer my question!"

"Ah."

Jiang Jiu stood up and smiled gently: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now..."

"Jiang Jiu."

Jiang Jiu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Hei Ta sitting on his scepter, holding several papers in his hand, probably some kind of calculation report.

"What's wrong, Black Tower?"

Black Tower glanced at Estella, who was standing to the side in a state of inexplicable shock, gripped his scepter, and walked up to Jiang Jiu.

Have you had any tests done?

"not yet......"

Hei Ta placed something in his palm—a key: "Go now, and come to my room when you're done."

Estelle: !!!

Jiang Jiu was taken aback: "So rushed? I think..."

"Stop talking nonsense and don't keep me waiting too long."

Seeing Heita with his arms crossed, looking like he wouldn't budge, Jiang Jiu sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright... I'll go now, but tonight I want to..."

“Sure,” Black Tower replied directly.

Estelle: Aaaaaaah, I've actually shipped them!!!

Does anyone understand, folks? The person in question isn't even trying to hide their thoughts!

Chapter 12 You told us your weakness yourself.

"...I haven't even said what it is yet."

"I know what you're talking about. Don't doubt my genius."

Jiang Jiu almost couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

These words are easily misunderstood... Ms. Black Tower, you interrupted me yourself, so don't blame me...

So he left the lounge and went to get himself a medical check-up.

Just before he left, he heard Estádio ask softly, "Um...Ms. Black Tower, you and Jiang Jiu...?"

Jiang Jiu: "!!!"

Oh no, you're finished.

[Hahahaha!!! This is hilarious! Run! If you don't run, the Black Tower will slice you up and study you!]

[Hahaha, this is hilarious! Estelle is such a great wingman!]

I'm already looking forward to seeing the Black Tower's expression when they find out the truth, hahaha...

[Jiang Jiu, I advise you to apply to join the Interstellar Peace Company right now, and run as far away as you can!]

The company seems to be aligned with the Black Tower.

【Oh well, there's no other way then. Why don't you pledge allegiance to Nanuk? Maybe he'll be in a good mood and turn you into a Great Khan of Extinction.】

The global problem is even bigger now; he not only has to stop the Iron Tomb, but also himself (?).

"No... I have a question. What good would it do you if I died?"

Jiang Jiu was genuinely curious about this question.

There are no advantages, but a whole host of disadvantages.

[It's okay, I just like to do the opposite of what others do, so... Jiang Jiu, when are you going to die?]

Jiang Jiu is dying.

"I might die with you someday," he retorted.

Well, then you probably won't be able to wait that long.

Speechless.

He quickened his pace toward the medical department, hoping the medical examination process would be long enough for Black Tower to forget their earlier conversation.

However, the possibility is slim.

Although... I didn't actually say anything, I felt guilty...

But there's no use thinking about it now, just go and get your medical checkup done.

I'll have to see if I can catch a memorizer tonight to reveal something about Onpharos.

......

Estelle asked softly, "Um...Ms. Black Tower, do you and Jiang Jiu's affair need to be kept secret?"

Black Tower glanced at her sideways.

"He told you?"

Estelle nodded.

Black Tower frowned, finding it rather strange that someone would not only not be angry at being used as an experimental subject, but would also speak out without any concern.

"He is, after all, a Commander. I thought he would mind this kind of relationship. Oh well, let him be."

After saying that, Black Tower didn't linger and turned to leave.

As she reached the door, she turned her head.
