Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

After meeting her, Isaac confirmed that the person in front of him was the FARC soldier he had met in Colombia. At first, he thought it was just a coincidence when he saw the photo, but he didn't expect it to really be her.

"You are……"

Robert's expression changed as well. He hadn't expected that his young master was the arms dealer that the organization had ordered him to assassinate.

But the family all said that the child had gone out to seek refuge. Why would he be in Colombia? Is Colombia a suitable place to seek refuge?

Swish!

Isaac immediately drew his pistol and pointed it at the other man.

"Young Master?"

“I thought you were dead, but I didn’t expect you to have tracked me down all the way here!” Isaac’s eyes were cold. “The FARC soldiers are really something, they even managed to find my home address.”

“Young Master, I think you’ve misunderstood,” Robert quickly waved his hand and said, “I’ve already left FARC.”

"Then why are you in my house?"

“I was saved by the master, and in return, I’ll stay here as a maid,” Roberte said with a smile.

Her current sunny smile is completely different from the gloomy expression I saw when I was in Colombia.

"Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?" Isaac said, reaching for the trigger.

However, a voice from inside the house called out to him at that moment.

"Isaac? You're back?"

It was Chika's voice. Isaac quickly sheathed his weapon upon hearing it.

The door opened, and a petite figure rushed into his arms.

"Long time no see~" Chika hugged Isaac and buried her head in his chest.

"It's only a few months, not a very long time." Isaac sighed and lifted Chika off him.

I missed you terribly while you were gone.

"Ah, yes, I miss you too," Isaac said expressionlessly.

"Really? Then I'll leave the door open for you in my room tonight..."

"Forget it, thank you for not coming into my room."

At this moment, Chika also noticed the two little girls behind Isaac.

Who are these two children?

“Romania… oh no, I mean the two orphans I met while seeking refuge. I took them in because they had nowhere to go,” Isaac said. “Their parents died in the attack.”

The two little girls were also very clever; they looked like they were about to cry when Isaac said those words.

"Oh, what a poor child."

He was initially wary of the two girls following Isaac, but when he heard that their parents had been killed in the attack, he was reminded of his own parents, who had also been shot and killed at a concert.

If Isaac hadn't protected her, she probably wouldn't have even had the chance to be adopted by Isaac's parents.

“Miss Chika, and young master, please come inside to discuss your matters,” Robert said with a smile. “I will prepare tea and refreshments for you.”

"Thank you, Robert," Chika said with a smile.

A group of people entered the house, led by a maid.

------------

"Chika, what do you think of that maid named Robert?"

In the living room, four children sat on the sofa. On the coffee table were delicate pastries, though they looked exactly like they'd been bought from a bakery.

"She's very good at taking care of people," Qianxia mumbled while eating a snack. "Auntie likes her very much too. She's had a lot more free time since she came."

"I see."

Isaac fell into deep thought upon hearing this. So far, this man named Robert didn't seem to have made any move to harm his own family.

However, we cannot let our guard down and need to continue to observe.

Just as Isaac was thinking, Robert came over and poured juice into the cups of Chika and the two little girls.

"What would you like to drink, young master?"

“Vodka”.

“Good children shouldn’t drink alcohol,” Robert said with a gentle smile.

"..."

If it weren't for the fact that this person had fought alongside his own troops in the past, Isaac would have genuinely believed that she was a dedicated and excellent maid.

What exactly happened to make this person seem like a completely different person after arriving here?

"Your name is Robert, right?"

"Yes."

“Come with me.” Isaac said, ignoring her expression, and left his seat first.

Robert watched Isaac walk away and followed him.

In the courtyard, Isaac looked at the woman dressed as a maid and asked, "Did my father bring you back?"

"Yes, I was seriously injured and fled from FACR's troops that day, and it was the old man who saved me."

Does my dad know I've been to Colombia?

"We don't know yet."

"Good, don't let him know about this for now."

"Young Master, does this mean you... trust me?"

“No, I need to continue observing you for a while regarding security issues,” Isaac said. “Once I find you're fine, I'll naturally trust you.”

“No problem.” Robert simply smiled at Isaac’s words. “You will trust me.”

Chapter 530: The Technology in This World Has Problems

That evening, the parents and Erica returned home.

The mother was very excited to see Isaac, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and went up to hug him tightly.

"Feifan, it's been almost four months since I last saw him."

"Yes, it has been quite a while."

Only his father knew that he was investigating the organization that attacked him (which wasn't actually the case), and the rest of the family kept it a secret, assuming that Isaac had gone to his father's friend for refuge.

The father showed little reaction when he saw his son return, after all, the two had just met a week ago.

"By the way, who are these two children?"

The mother also noticed the two children standing obediently beside Isaac.

“Oh, they’re orphans. They’ve been following me all this way because they’re homeless,” Isaac said.

He didn't say that he was rescued from Romania, otherwise it would have revealed that he wasn't seeking refuge there.

The father nodded and said, "Yes, Feifan told me about these two children a few days ago. I think it shouldn't matter if we keep them."

He also didn't mention the Romanian affair. If his wife found out that he had allowed their son to investigate, things would definitely be very difficult for her in the future.

"Oh, what poor children." The mother knelt down and gently hugged them. "From now on, consider this your new home."

Isaac: "Isn't this a bit too casual?"

“It’s not casual at all,” the mother laughed. “The new house has quite a few rooms, and it would be too lonely with just the few of us.”

Now, with Robert added to the household, there are eight people in Isaac's family.

Leaving the two sisters at home also suited Isaac's wishes, at least he could do many things with peace of mind when he went out to sea in the future.

Compared to following him, an arms dealer who spends his days amidst gunfire, staying in a peaceful and tranquil home is a much better choice for the two children.

……

After dinner, Isaac and his father went into the study.

"Feifan, did that organization uncover anything after their investigation?"

"It's almost certain that it was done by those bastards from the former KGB," Isaac casually remarked.

"So it really was them..."

"Ok?"

The father looked at Isaac with a serious expression: "When I went back to Mithril before, I looked through some records. One of the researchers in the records was the 'Listener,' who was also taken back by the KGB for human experiments. Even now, his mental state is not very stable."

"It really is them?"

Isaac was somewhat surprised; he had just randomly picked someone to take the blame, but he hadn't expected that the guess would actually be right.

However, it is clear that the organization that attacked Testarossa's family has no direct connection with the KGB. They don't have that capability yet, and Isaac believes his father knows this as well.

The truth about that organization remains a mystery.

“But there shouldn’t be any need for further investigation,” the father said. “Anyway, they haven’t found you yet, and further investigation would likely expose you to their scrutiny.”

"..."

No investigation? How can we not investigate? If we don't use this reason, we'll probably go back to that boring daily routine of going to school. That kind of life where you're glued to your seat is worse than letting him go out to fight a war.

"I think an investigation is necessary."

"Huh? Why?"

“If they get their hands on ‘listeners,’ the consequences will be unimaginable. We must take precautions.” He said seriously, “Before I am discovered, we must uproot that organization.”

"...Your growth rate is truly astonishing," the father said with a wry smile.

“So I’ll be going out to investigate for the next period of time,” Isaac continued. “I’ll probably be back about once every three months, you can rest assured about that.”

"Fine, there's nothing I can do to stop you from making your own decision."

Okay~

My plan can now proceed.
