You smiled and nodded, so of course it's possible.
You may leave temporarily, but one day you will return.
At the same time, you told Eden the truth about the world: everything is predetermined, but people are not static.
Time can be reversed. Although you know Eden won't understand at this moment, it will still plant a seed—a seed of rebellion.
"Hey~ I've said a bit too much. Eden, why don't you come back with me? After all, it's our own property, so why not use it?"
The already delicate balance was completely shattered, and Eden gently pressed his body against Enkidu's.
"Um....."
Without saying much, Eden simply agreed, entrusting his future to Enkidu this time...
Aside from the two of them, no one knew what had happened. Eden's parents and Enkidu's butler only knew that when the young master and young lady returned home, their relationship had spiraled to an unbelievable degree...
"It's been so long since I've seen the young master smile so happily..."
Angers uttered this classic line under the bewildered gazes of Eden's parents.
After Eden returned home, Enkidu's little tail reappeared in his daily routine.
What was supposed to be a boring day turned into a rather tiring one.
Enkidu didn't hide anything from Eden, showing him all the methods and financial resources he used.
Eden, seeing what Enkidu had invested and how those once arrogant people had become like lapdogs, couldn't help but sigh.
Eden grew accustomed to these fickle people and admired Enkidu's status even more.
But then I felt a little guilty.
"Brother, isn't this a little unfair to the others...?"
Eden, nestled once again in Enkidu's arms, was still lost in thought and couldn't help but ask Enkidu a question.
Enkidu used to say, "We have so much energy at home, so feel free to use whatever you want. If our efforts aren't to pave the way for you and make your life better, then all our efforts will have been in vain."
Enkidu heard Eden's words and gave a cold smile. His little princess was indeed adorably naive.
"Fairness? The world is inherently unfair. You'll have to get used to it. If you pity those people, you can do something about it yourself. I won't stop you..."
Enkidu faced Eden and, like a wise man, began to teach her the rules of survival in this world.
The man-eating tree! Social maneuvering, the dark forest theory.
"Alright, Eden, don't think too much about it. We can give you anything you want to do, and we'll take care of everything!"
Enkidu sat leisurely by the window, stroking Eden's head in his arms.
Everything happens for a reason...
[At 15, the Honkai began to break out more frequently. You entrusted the task of assisting Eden to Eden's parents, who had been reassigned, and began your research as a Firemoth warrior and Firemoth researcher.]
Eden's fame grew with the help of money. That year, she was eighteen, in the prime of her life, and experiencing the first stirrings of love.
[And now you've arrived at the very center of the collapse. As the leader of a branch, you shouldn't be traveling alone, but you're an exception.]
[The previously weak and powerless Honkai Beasts, empowered by the Honkai, are gradually beginning to display their destructive power.]
However, the situation remained chaotic, and you simply treated it like a stray dog to be kicked to death.
[The Honkai without Herrschers is like an army without a commander; it will be quickly suppressed.]
[But the minor collapse you just casually dealt with has returned stronger than ever, only...]
Do you understand the scene where a newly born Honkai, and the Honkai beasts that appear, bow down to you?
It's really weird, you know? It's just that Enkidu is all alone right now, otherwise he would be facing the military court of the Firemoth right now.
Then, it's like this: Tell me! Are you a traitor to humanity?!
"Minister! Your current location has experienced another collapse. Energy level assessment... Intermediate! Please be extremely careful!"
The shocked voice of the Moth of Fire tester came through Enkidu's earpiece.
Before they could even properly introduce it, the Moth Chaser's inspectors discovered that the Honkai energy reaction had disappeared... disappeared...
Huh? No! You're making our equipment look clumsy! How come it resolved the issue faster than a small-scale collapse? Minister, didn't you go alone?
At 15, Enkidu is at the prime of his life. While the headquarters may not be very strong, the loyalty of this Enkidu branch, under the suppression of Yu Duchen, is beyond question.
It's no exaggeration to say that, in terms of overall strength, several Valkyries of the caliber of Rita and Theresa have been created.
There are plenty of A-rank Valkyries, but because the information was kept secret, the other branches and headquarters were completely unaware that Enkidu's abandoned branch had become so powerful.
Enkidu, as if adapting to local customs, incorporated the segmentation at this moment.
Based on the current limits of human strength, he reduced his power to the level of Rita.
It can be said that in this kind of collapse where no Herrscher is born, the child is invincible.
"Alright, you guys come out and clean up the floor. I have something to do, so I'm leaving now."
Enkidu finished speaking into the earpiece, but before the other end could reply, the earpiece was crushed into dust.
Complaining? I pay you ten times the salary and you're complaining??
The staff in this branch know that their compensation is several times better than that at headquarters.
So all I had to do was help my capricious minister with some tasks; it couldn't be easier.
Is Eden's situation...okay at this moment?
At the age of eighteen, she was full of youthful vigor and experiencing the first stirrings of love... what a load of rubbish!
Eden kept looking around backstage and occasionally glancing at the front of the stage, trying to see if the person he was looking forward to had arrived.
Because the back-end system is almost completely isolated from the outside world, Eden can only watch helplessly.
'My brother promised me he would come...'
The ripples reached Enkidu; Eden sniffed, a few small pearls still clinging to his face.
At this moment, Eden's parents and Angers stood behind him, constantly trying to persuade him.
After all, she was about to stand on stage for the first time, so she couldn't let her makeup get ruined by crying.
The die was cast, and no one dared to gossip about the last-minute withdrawal. But thanks to someone's promise, Eden didn't even want to leave, and just stood there looking around.
"Next contestant, please prepare."
Angers was the first to respond when called by the staff. He had come because he was busy with logistical work.
After all, we can't expect Eden's parents to be running around doing all the work.
Eden remained somewhat uneasy, waiting for Enkidu's arrival; clearly, she didn't want to go on stage right now.
Angers' phone rang, and his eyes lit up when he saw the message.
"Miss, the young master has arrived and is now sitting outside waiting for you to go on stage."
Angers rushed to Eden's side. He had been sent by Enkidu to prevent Eden from going on strike or something similar. If he failed to complete this mission, he would be letting down his master's trust.
Eden reacted quickly, standing up, wiping off the excess makeup, and walking slowly onto the stage with her head held high.
His parents exchanged bewildered glances, each feeling their own noses were slightly red...
"...Are we being ignored?"
"Probably...yes..."
It's tragic. They should be Eden's most caring parents, but now that Eden has just come of age, they're already turning against him.
Actually, they should be the ones comforting Eden at this time, but when they were truly needed, they found it hard to say it.
Thinking about how my daughter has just turned eighteen, and then thinking about that ruthless person who hasn't changed at all over the years.
For the first time, the couple felt that their future was bleak.
Eden walked onto the stage with a heart full of joy. At that moment, she felt so relaxed and light...
It feels so quiet around me now... there's nothing to be afraid of anymore.
Eden looked down at Enkidu, who was so conspicuous that she could see him at a glance, which gave her courage.
Emotional high caused Eden to unconsciously raise his voice by two octaves.
Classical music drifted in, like sacred chants, like music from a celestial palace.
The venue was eerily quiet; everyone was listening intently to the new star's song.
For a newcomer to achieve this level of skill is a testament to their immense potential, and even the judges were captivated.
Enkidu was also immersed in the experience, but the sudden vibration on his phone interrupted his immersive experience.
Upon discovering that the source of the message was Eden's parents, he had no choice but to answer the phone.
"Hello? Uncle and Aunt, is there something you need? Why don't we wait until Eden is over to talk about it?"
Enkidu's question was rather pointed. After all, he was watching the performance of the cabbage he had raised, and yet someone dared to disturb him—his nominal subordinate, or perhaps his in-laws...
"Xiao En, can we call you that?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was Eden's mother, her tone filled with unease, perhaps due to the difference in their social status, which made these nominal parents somewhat nervous.
"Of course you can. You are Eden's parents, so you can also be considered my half-parents. So you can call me whatever you want."
"That's right, as you know, we didn't have much time to spend with Eden growing up, and you were a wonderful older brother who took care of him..."
Seemingly sensing Enkidu's confusion and speechlessness, Eden's mother quickly explained.
"This child has now become unconditionally biased towards you. We've watched you grow up, and we know you love Eden too..."
Enkidu finally understood. Following the typical novel formula, was he about to be given a long, earnest lecture about his place in the world...?
"So this is what we think..."
Here it comes, here it comes. While we won't see a scene where someone claims to have a million dollars and leaves their daughter, we're about to see a slap in the face from someone who's been bluffing...
"Let's discuss this. Could you perhaps postpone having Eden's child so soon, allowing her to enjoy a few more years of freedom and time alone with you two..."
Huh? What is this guy saying? Enkidu swallowed back all the words he had prepared.
Something seems off about the dialogue, doesn't it? What did she just say? What child? What young couple?
So far, Eden and I should still appear to be completely innocent on the surface...
"...Auntie, is this appropriate? Is this right???"
Enkidu was completely baffled and deeply shocked. Was this really something a mother should say?
Of course, Eden's parents understood Enkidu's thoughts, but so what? Their daughter liked it, and their interference was useless.
As TV dramas have shown, it's better to guide than to suppress; excessive obstruction will only make children extremely rebellious.
In the end, he parted ways with both his parents...
No way! We're going to be family with Little Eden for life!!!
Perhaps the current Eden Parents could be the subject of an episode titled "Incompetent Parents"...
Enkidu: ......
This is ridiculous, folks! How can someone not follow the script? This veteran actor is beyond my capabilities!
"We know you may be shocked, but this is the best solution your uncle and I have come up with, so please promise us... please don't cause any deaths so quickly, we beg you..."
"...Okay, I promise you."
Enkidu remained silent for a long time before finally realizing what was happening and agreeing to Eden's parents' request.
After hearing that Enkidu had agreed, the couple visibly relaxed.
"Then you can continue listening to the concert. We'll head home now. You two haven't seen each other in a long time; I'm sure you have a lot to talk about..."
After Eden's mother finished speaking in a very understanding manner, she hung up the phone without waiting for Enkidu's reply.
The two exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief. It has to be said that talking to Enkidu was quite stressful for ordinary people like them.
As the concert was about to end, Enkidu stood up and slowly appeared backstage.
He accepted the flowers prepared by Angers and waited for Eden to step down.
"Grandpa, you go back to the car first, we'll come find you in a bit."
"It's the young master."
