Unspeakable bubbles

"Of course."

Old Ghost quickly racked his brains: "Right, right, Bubble, you're a student, and students should do what students should do!"

"Well, but, but Mr. Rhodes lets Bubbles roam freely every day..."

"Rhodes, quickly give Bubble a research topic for her!"

Even if you say that, I'm still right.

Rhodes' eyes lit up: "There are two topics I think you could research if you have time, Bubble."

"Oh!"

"Bubble, what do you think of the environment on Hell Island?"

"Not very good," the little girl said honestly.

"It's not just not very good, it's absolutely terrible!"

"My team and I have been researching how to make Hell Island more suitable for human habitation."

"Unfortunately, there haven't been any notable achievements over the years."

“Bubble, you’re part of Hell Island now, so I think you can pick up this ‘topic’ that we’ve all given up on!”

"Yes, Bubble will do its best!"

As if facing a teacher assigning homework, the little girl nodded earnestly.

"There's one more thing, which I came up with on the spur of the moment."

Rhodes cleared his throat: "Bubble, you should have already mastered this old man's trump card, right?"

Bubble thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa taught Bubble a very interesting cultivation method!"

"This is it!"

"Although Bubble's cultivation level has long been beyond our reach, the path of martial arts is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind."

"We don't have anything good here. The only thing we can offer is that old man's external cultivation technique!"

"..."

Rhodes paused for a moment: "The second task is to push this external cultivation method to a higher level, which can also be considered as fulfilling a dream for the old man!"

"Ro, Roz!"

Old Ghost looked at him in astonishment: "Don't underestimate my technique, it's a genuine Earth-level cultivation method!"

“Going a step further, that, that is…”

"Bubble hasn't even said no yet, why are you already saying discouraging things!"

Rhodes interrupted the old man, turning to look at the little girl: "Bubble, do you think it's okay?"

"Okay." The little girl gave an OK sign.

"Well then, Bubble will study it today and come back to see Mr. Rhodes tomorrow."

"Uh"

“Actually, these are both long-term issues, so there’s no rush,” Rhodes said with a smile.

"kindness!"

........................................................................

"What a rare guest! Old ghost, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

Rhodes nimbly jumped down from the tree and casually said, "What's the matter?"

"Rhodes, I'd like to ask about yesterday's topic."

Old Ghost said in a deep voice, "I think, besides those two, are there any other better topics?"

"for example?"

"for example,"

"Returning to the Federation or something?"

"..."

Rhodes sighed: "It's only been a few days, and you...you guys can't wait any longer?"

“Rhodes, everyone trusts you, so no one has ever said anything to Bubble in private.”

"However, as the saying goes, two people can think of a lot more than one person can."

"Ahem, we're not questioning your decision."

"I'm just worried that there might be things you haven't thought of right now, Rhodes."

After finishing his sentence in one breath, Lao Gui shrugged and said, "This is what they wanted me to convey to you. I personally don't care."

"After all, if Bubble can really push the 'Chain Hell Force' to a higher level, I'd be willing to die in this hellish place!"

"A series of hellish energies?"

Rhodes clicked his tongue: "Not bad, that's a pretty impressive name!"

“There are even more impressive names! But I thought that since it’s only a low-level cultivation technique, it wouldn’t be good to give it a name that’s too arrogant.” Old Ghost chuckled.

"Okay, I understand. I have my own ideas about this."

"..."

“Boss Rhodes, I’m afraid this answer won’t convince everyone,” Old Ghost said slowly, standing still.

"Hey!"

Rhodes shook his head with a wry smile: "We all got through those tough times together, so why are we starting to fight amongst ourselves now that things are just starting to look up?"

Old Gui was immediately embarrassed. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Rhodes, you're exaggerating. Everyone is just a little anxious and asked me to ask."

"Oh~" Rhodes responded in a drawn-out tone.

"Hey, let's not talk about those trivial things."

Old Ghost said seriously, "Rhodes, I'll accept your favor just for your second assignment yesterday!"

"Don't worry, if any brat doesn't follow the rules, I'll be the first to punish him!"

"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that!"

As if he had been waiting for the old ghost to say this, Rhodes went along with it and said, "As long as the two of us are honest with each other, no one else can stir up any trouble."

"Old Ghost, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

"Bubble, that little girl is no ordinary person; she's not someone we can fool!"

"Of course I know she's extraordinary. How can a super strong person be ordinary?" Old Ghost rolled his eyes at him.

"No, I didn't mean a super strong person."

"But rather, even more so..."

Rhodes frowned. "Hmm, I don't know how to describe it. But the bubbles give me... a very bad feeling."

Old Ghost was stunned; he never expected Rhodes to say such a thing.

"When Bubbles arrive, we'll have fruit to eat, baths to take, and new clothes to wear. How about you..."

"I understand everything you're saying."

Rhodes said irritably, "But think about it carefully."

"If Bubble were truly an innocent and harmless child, would she have been exiled here? Would she have frightened a Chaos Lord like that?"

Section 309, Chapter 308: We Are Different

"Alright then, what are your plans now?"

"Be prepared for both possibilities."

It seemed that Rhodes had already thought about this problem, and he immediately replied, "If Bubble can't handle those two tasks, I'll start preparing the escape plan for Hell Island in a few days!"

"What if she really solves it?" Old Ghost asked.

"Then I'll confront Bubble."

"To lay your cards on the table?"

Old Gui was taken aback. He asked curiously, "What do we have to tell her?"

"There are plenty."

Rhodes said calmly, "For example, this godforsaken place isn't a school at all, but a place where the Federation exiles criminals."

"For example, I wasn't Professor Rhodes at all, but a hapless prison guard."

“I will have a good talk with her and make Bubble realize the reality that she is being targeted by the members of parliament and abandoned by the country.”

"If you do this, the councilors will definitely kill you!"

Old Ghost quickly advised, "Don't be impulsive, you're different from us, Rhodes..."

"No, I'm no different from you."

Rhodes said casually, "I've figured it out over the years, and I don't harbor any illusions anymore."

"If this continues, I'll eventually die of old age on Hell Island."

"Since the congressmen aren't giving me a way out, I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!"

"Rhodes..."

Old Ghost frowned: "I don't understand, why did you only choose to confront Bubble after confirming that she could complete those two tasks?"

"Is this...is this really necessary?"

"I mean, isn't it the same if you confront Bubble now!"

"Let's expose the ugly faces of these senators now and let her lead us back to the Federation!"
