Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

Let's go, Kiana is already looking towards us."

Gwyn did not refuse when he heard this, but just smiled and nodded, then brought Siegfried back to the three of them.

But while Gwyn and Siegfried were chatting, Thunder Dragon Horse had already finished teaching his daughter and looked at Gwyn with a somewhat scrutinizing gaze.

Although Mei did not express her feelings, the experienced Raiden Ryoma suddenly remembered his worries about his daughter when he was in prison while giving her instructions, and wanted to test her.

Although Mei Raiden has grown, how can she be a match for her old father? Unknowingly, some of her thoughts have been probed, perhaps even unknown to herself.

"I've discussed the handover of the Holy Tribunal of Heavenly Fire with your father. When I return, I'll persuade Archbishop Otto to rescind the arrest warrant for your father, allowing him time to recover..."

Although Gwyn felt that there was something strange in Raiden Ryuma's gaze, he didn't know why. He just explained to Kiana with a smile.

"Then stinky dad, do you want to go back with us?"

Kiana, who seemed to be in better spirits, suddenly brightened up when she heard this and looked at Siegfried beside Gwyn.

"Silly girl, Dad and I still have things to do, so I won't be going back yet."

Seeing Kiana who was more energetic, Siegfried became more determined that he couldn't stay with her and thought of an excuse to refuse.

Before Kiana could pout and blame Siegfried, Gwen started to explain:

"Kiana, although I am quite confident that I can get your father's wanted warrant revoked, it will still take some time.

Besides, it's not a good idea for him to go back just after the arrest warrant was revoked."

"……Oh well……"

Seeing that Gwyn was also speaking up for her old father, Kiana pouted, but in the end she didn't say a word of complaint. She just stepped forward to help her old father tidy up his clothes, and told him to drink less and smoke less. For a moment, the relationship between the father and daughter seemed to be reversed.

Facing his daughter's chattering, Siegfried simply responded with a smile, occasionally joking a few words, which attracted Kiana's little fist threats. There was a warm and harmonious atmosphere between the father and daughter.

Gwen smiled and took a few steps away, but he didn't go directly to Thunder Dragon Horse. Instead, he took out his phone.

Gwyn just remembered that this place was not far from Saint Freya. If they were talking here and were discovered by the Valkyrie of Saint Freya who came to check the situation, it would be troublesome if Siegfried and Thunder Ryuma were recognized.

A phone call was made, and the blame was put on the equipment that Otto wanted to test himself. Theresa, who was busy, complained a few words, and Gwen, who showed some concern, hung up the phone.

After resolving his worries, he walked towards the father and daughter.

"Has Uncle finished giving instructions to Meiyi?"

"Well, Mei has grown a lot in the past six months. I don't need to remind you about some things anymore."

Looking at Gwyn, who was walking towards him, barefoot but not looking embarrassed, and still confident and calm, a smile appeared on the serious face of Thunder Dragon Horse.

“Speaking of which, I have to thank you, my friend, for helping Meiyi a lot.

If Cocolia really realizes her plan... Mei's future will be unimaginable."

"I just did what I could."

Gwyn said something polite and started chatting with Thunder Dragon Horse.

However, after chatting for a while, Gwen felt that Thunder Dragon Horse's focus seemed to be a little off.

He neither cared about the treatment of Mei Lei Dian after she entered the Destiny, nor asked how to solve the problems Mei might encounter. Instead, he was concerned about Gwyn's personal situation.

Subconsciously, Gwyn glanced at Mei Lei Dian and met the girl's equally confused gaze.

After realizing that it was not Mei who took the initiative to express her feelings, Gwyn slightly used the third-level gene lock and realized that it might be Raiden Ryuma who noticed Mei's vague affection for him.

However, although Gwen did not deny that he had bad intentions towards Mei, this was obviously not something he could say in front of Raiden Ryoma at this time. He quickly ended the current topic and showed a serious expression.

"Uncle Lei Dian, we are about to part ways, and I have a question that I would like your answer to."

"What's the matter?"

Thunder Dragon Horse looked at Gwyn, who was quietly approaching his daughter, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

Does this guy want to settle things now?

296

Chapter 296 Past events.

From an objective perspective, Thunder Dragon Horse must admit that Gwyn is excellent—

At such a young age, his strength has surpassed Siegfried, a strong man of the older generation, and he stands at the forefront of the world.

It is even more commendable that one can still be humble and polite after achieving such an achievement.

In addition, Gwyn helped his daughter who fell into Cocolia's scheme while he was in prison. Even though Gwyn was the man of destiny, it was difficult for Thunder Ryuma to feel hostile towards him.

However, when this perspective was filtered, Thunder Dragon Horse began to dislike Gwyn.

Although Lei Dian Long Ma is not a daughter slave, he is willing to raise funds illegally to build a Titan army for his daughter to protect herself. However, he still can't stand this brat who wants to attack the cabbages in his own field.

However, although he was very annoyed, Thunder Dragon Horse did not interrupt Gwyn. He just waited quietly for his next words, thinking about how to answer.

Originally, in the vague plan that Ryoma Raiden had for his daughter, he was going to find a son-in-law that she liked. After all, although ME Company had some shares in Anti-Entropy, it was mainly the ancestral property of the Raiden family, and someone had to inherit it.

But now it seems that this plan is going to fail.

Moreover, as the leader of the new generation of Mandate, if Gwyn were to get together with his daughter, there would be many chain reactions...

Just as Thunder Dragon Horse was thinking about the various possible factors, Gwyn did not ask directly as he had expected, but looked at the girl beside Thunder Dragon Horse——

"Mei, do you mind if I ask that question over you?"

"Ok?"

Mei Lei Dian, who was still a little dazed because she was about to part with her father again, blinked when she heard this and didn't immediately react to what Gwen was saying.

Seeing this, Gwen continued to remind.

"That thing you don't really want to ask about, but it must have been bothering you...it happened when you were a child."

"..."

In an instant, Mei Lei understood what Gwyn was saying and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, Mei just pursed her lips and nodded, and there was a bit of complexity in her eyes when she looked at her father beside her.

"..."

When he heard Gwyn's words, Thunder Dragon Horse came back to his senses instantly, realizing that he might have thought wrongly. He looked at Gwyn, wondering what he wanted to ask.

"Uncle Longma, I want to know...

What was the situation that forced you to implant the Conqueror Gem into Mei's body?"

After obtaining the permission of the person concerned, Gwen asked the question.

"Until now, there hasn't been a single successful human fusion experiment using the three Herrscher gems in Tianming's hands.

And in this process, all the volunteers ended up failing.”

"Ugh……"

Hearing this question, Thunder Dragon Horse looked at Gwyn in surprise, then looked at his daughter beside him. He saw that she was pursing her lips reluctantly, but still trying to look strong as she looked at him.

After a long moment, Raiden Ryoma sighed deeply, realizing the source of the strange look in his daughter's eyes. He smiled bitterly inwardly, and under Raiden Mei's gaze, which was a mixture of heartache, questioning, and inquiry, he slowly said:

"By now, Meiyi, you should have some understanding of Honkai, and you should have heard of the Innate Stigmata—

In 04, due to my negligence, Mei was kidnapped. Although she was successfully rescued in the end, she was left with some sequelae.

Apparently due to the stimulation of being kidnapped, the innate stigmata that was originally hidden on Mei's body appeared and showed signs of activation.

There is no doubt that the awakening of the innate stigma will inevitably bring powerful power.

This is especially true for the holy marks on Mei's body. Even if there are only signs of awakening, it is enough to have an impact on the surrounding environment.

However, for Mei at that time, this power was not a gift from heaven but a deadly poison.

Her young body is simply unable to withstand this overpowerful force, so her awakening must be slowed down to give Mei time to grow to the point where she can control this power.

However, because Anti-Entropy does not have many cases of people who are born with the awakening of the stigmata, and does not have the training system and experience like Tianming, I can only let Mei rest under the instructions of the leader and try to slow down the speed of the awakening of the stigmata.

However, even after trying various methods, the awakening progress of the stigma was still increasing day by day, and Mei's condition was getting worse and worse. The abnormal magnetic field had begun to affect her endocrine stability, and if it continued, it would directly threaten her life.

Even though I asked the leader and two doctors to conduct the most detailed examination on Mei, we were still helpless in this situation.

Finally, the leader proposed a risky plan to find an external object powerful enough to suppress the awakening stigma on Mei's body and delay her awakening progress.

After several failures, Dr. Einstein proposed the use of the Conquest Gem.

As a superior with the same type of power, the Conquest Gem has a high probability of suppressing the natural stigmata on Mei's body and successfully eliminating the various symptoms that have appeared at that time.

It's dangerous, but I have no choice.

In the end, the experiment was successful. The Conquest Gem eliminated the effects of Mei's natural stigmata, but it also merged with Mei, causing her to no longer display any power.

Because I am worried that it will stimulate the stigmata and conquest gems in Mei's body, I have been preventing Mei from getting involved in things related to Honkai over the years. I plan to wait until she goes to college and her body has fully grown, and then let her try to get involved in related fields.

only……

well……"

At the end of his words, Thunder Dragon Horse let out a long sigh—

Damn Cocolia, why don’t you just die, you son of a bitch... why don’t you die sooner!

Just as Thunder Ryoma was gritting his teeth at the already cold Cocolia, the figure beside him had already thrown himself into his arms—

"dad……"

Burying her head in her father's arms, Mei Raiden no longer had any of her usual strength. She was sobbing like a helpless and weak girl. The exploration and suspicion she had just felt had been completely replaced by regret and emotion.

Even though it seemed easy for Ryoma Raiden to say, Mei Raiden could still imagine how anxious and desperate her father was when her life was hanging by a thread, and how much pressure he was under to agree to that crazy plan and implant the Conquest Gem into her body.

All the doubts and heartaches disappeared, and all that remained in Mei Raiden's heart was a heart full of emotion and her father who had become radiant again in her mind.

Chapter 297 Reminders and Instructions.

Lei Dian Long Ma did not say anything to persuade her, but just patted his daughter's back gently, just like he coaxed a baby in swaddling clothes.

On the side, Gwen also smiled when he saw this scene.

Regardless of whether there is appropriate beautification or unspoken considerations, it no longer matters at this moment. Mei has gained a father who has always loved her, and that is enough.

At this time, Thunder Dragon Horse also looked at Gwyn beside him and showed a kind smile.

Although this question was asked by Gwyn, Lei Dian Longma, who was well-versed in both business and political circles, could also hear that the other party was trying to lead the answer in a more acceptable direction when asking the question.

Therefore, this so-called questioning is by no means a provocation, but rather a way to remove the abscess that may become infected and inflamed in the future, so as to avoid the future going in a worse direction.

Not long after, when the emotion flowing in her heart like a mighty river calmed down a little, Mei Raiden came to her senses and quickly left the arms of her long-lost father. She wiped the tears from her face with red eyes, trying to regain her original composure, but she failed in the laughter of Gwyn and Ryuma Raiden without any malice, and could only glare at the two of them angrily.

"Father!"

"Cough cough..."

Threatened by his daughter, Thunder Dragon Horse coughed twice, stopped laughing, and looked at Gwyn, who was only a few steps away from him. His smile was filled with a gentleness and intimacy that he had never had before.

"Thank you, Gwen.

If you hadn't brought this up here, I'm afraid I wouldn't have realized Mei would be troubled by it until I die."

As he spoke, Thunder Dragon Horse gave a very standard 90-degree bow, which made Gwen's heart jump, and he quickly helped him up -

“You are too kind, Uncle Longma.

I just did something for Meiyi that she was not able to do."

"No, if it weren't for what you did today, I'm afraid Mei would have lived her whole life holding a grudge against me.

You deserve this thank you."

Although he was helped up, Raiden Ryuma still insisted on thanking him without any question.

"In that case, I won't refuse anymore."

Seeing this, Gwyn was no longer polite.

"As it should be."

Thunder Dragon Horse smiled and nodded, then as if he had thought of something, he suddenly looked up and down at Gwen, which made Gwen a little confused.

"Since you call me uncle, I will take advantage of my seniority today.

Gwyn, humility is certainly an excellent quality, but since you have done good things, you should accept the corresponding praise and kindness.
