Chapter 530: You just want to comfort my heart, right?

Luo Hang put the Klushier hanging on him back on the chair. Klushier was also very obedient. He did not avoid his minister and directly connected to the Duke of Windermere's communication and clicked on a video call.

Two seconds after the call was connected, a light screen automatically popped up, showing the Duke of Windermere, whose expression did not seem as dashing and clear as before, but instead seemed to reveal some complexity.

"Your Excellency the Duke is calling me at this time. Has he finished get off work?"

He spoke first with a smile, while letting the other person see Krosier sitting in the chair he was leaning against.

He had no strange purpose in starting the video, it was just to let the Duke know clearly that there were other people on his side.

"It seems that I disturbed you."

Duke Windermere glanced at the curious Klosher, then returned his gaze to Luo Hang. He paused for a moment before continuing,

"The visiting delegation of teachers and students from Academy City has basically been finalized, and they should be heading to your location soon.

“I heard that Academy City has equipped all of its first batch of students with virtual pods, and since they’re heading to the vicinity of His Majesty the King, it seems like applications are quite popular, both among students and instructors.

"Of course, these people are Victoria's future, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of them."

He looked at the Duke, who was looking straight at him, seemingly doing his job, but instead seemed strangely awkward.

"Since the Duke has handed the person over to me, I will of course take good care of him for you. So, did the Duke call me all the way here just to tell me this in person?"

"..."

This is obviously not reasonable.

It was indeed something they had agreed upon beforehand that the group of teachers and students would go to Academy City for a friendly exchange, but it wasn't like the team encountered an attack while preparing to depart. This wasn't a big deal at all, so was it really necessary for the Duke to call him personally to tell him about it?

"The factory is still undergoing renovations, so it might take another month before production can officially begin."

The Duke of Windermere's eyes appeared slightly offset beyond his bangs.

So, you know that this topic is inappropriate, right?

Victoria's sharp blade is indeed completely unsuitable for such a situation.

He sighed inwardly, but did not expose the truth. He simply followed the Duke's topic and asked, as if chatting casually:

"What about the follow-up to that incident? How are the accomplices involved in the attack being dealt with?"

"It's almost there, but I plan to upgrade the security of Lien Carden to a higher level, so..."

The Duke of Windermere paused and said, "The trip to Rhodes Island may have to be postponed for a while."

Is this what you wanted to say?

Luo Hang looked at the Duke on the screen with a smile, but the Duke turned his eyes away and didn't look at him.

During this period, Dai Feien was like a hardworking little bee, helping her deal with various matters that happened, which made her, as a mother, feel very relieved:

On the other hand, her only precious daughter faithfully carried out her promise to Luo Hang, urging her to go to Rhodes Island after finishing her business all day long, and also listed the schedule of various affairs clearly. She was considerate but also made people feel helpless.

Delphine was clearly thinking that if she went to Rhodes Island, her eyes and the scars she had suffered over the years would be healed. She was genuinely happy and serious about her mother, and her expression was so sincere that even she didn't want to break it.

But every time this happened, her beloved daughter would not forget to brag about her doctorate, which made her mood go from gratified to complicated.

Even if she, as a mother, was not the only one who could discern her daughter's budding love, it would probably be easy for any outsider to tell. But the more this was the case, the more afraid she became that something might happen between her and Luo Hang if she went to Rhodes Island.

With Victoria's sharp personality, she would have refused to do anything she didn't want to do, or just struck at it with a sword. But the bad thing was that she couldn't possibly kill Luo Hang.

From a public perspective, the favor she owed Luo Hang only grew larger every time she tried to repay it. The Blood Demon Lord's attack made the entire Lien Carden owe Luo Hang a life, including herself and Daphne. So she had already thought about sending her precious daughter away, but who would have thought that a certain audacious scumbag was not only targeting her daughter, but also targeting more than just her daughter.

As for private...

"..."

"Aside from Tracy, the main force of Londinium lies in the two Lords of the Royal Court. This is confirmed."

Luo Hang said slowly, "The Blood Demon Lord has fallen into the warp and his life or death is unknown. The Scavenger King leads the army as the most important defense of Londinium and cannot leave easily. Your Excellency the Duke does not need to worry too much about Lien Carden's safety.

"The only way to truly achieve safety is to end this war. Your Excellency the Duke should know this."

He smiled at the Duke of Windermere, whose expression was still struggling to relax on the screen.

"This is a battle that none of us can avoid. If His Excellency the Duke lets other things affect his condition and something happens on the battlefield, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

I invited the Duke to Rhodes Island in the hope that I could help him prepare for this battle, both physically and mentally."

"—?"

The Duke of Windermere's expression shifted.

Is this a hint?

You scumbag, just say that you want to comfort my heart!

Luo Hang said with a sincere and emotional expression:

"After all, I sincerely hope to see His Excellency the Duke stay with us until the end of this war. I think Daphne agreed to this agreement with the same sentiment."

"..."

Looking at Luo Hang's frank gaze, the Duke of Windermere, who had just found a little desire to fight back, subconsciously wanted to look away again.

She subconsciously wanted to escape, and it was almost unbelievable to her.

But what made her feel so helpless and unfamiliar was that she clearly felt the escape in her heart.

This man is sincere. He really wants me to be well and that I am okay. He cares about me!

But what about Daphne?

This is my daughter's first emotional love, and it's so serious.

If someone else had snatched her love away, or if she had been in love but not cared, she would at most comfort her daughter by saying it was perfectly normal. But how would Dai Feien feel about her first love being snatched away by her own mother? What kind of blow would he suffer?

After losing her husband, she felt the tender feeling of relying on others and being cared for, as well as the deep love a mother had for her daughter for a long time.

When the two clashed fiercely, Victoria's blade, which had never shown weakness even in the face of a steel warship, suddenly discovered—

"..."

I want to escape.

"I... will think about it. I'm hanging up now."

Chapter 531 I have bought the plane tickets!

It must be said seriously that what he said to His Excellency the Duke was indeed from the heart.

After all, Daphne was his operator and had a good relationship with him and the Glasgow gang. There was no way he could just turn a blind eye to someone else's mother. Moreover, Windermere County had become Rhodes Island's most steadfast ally. He had worked so hard to raise the Duke's favorability to such a high level. If something happened to the Duke, who could accept it?

The last words are—

Regardless of the above, as an old scumbag, how could he possibly want to watch a beautiful woman die!

This is a matter of principle!

The vigorous, mature and noble Duke's wife is, uh cough.

Strike out the sentence above.

"You also invited the Duke of Windermere to Rhodes Island?"

Seeing Luo Hang hung up the phone, Lucille asked with great interest.

She was in high spirits for two reasons:

One was curiosity, and the other was that Luo Hang was talking to the Duke in front of her (this is the key point)!

This is trust!

Miss Klushel felt a great sense of pride, and as an emotional idiot from the Engineering and Computer Science Department, she was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with the Duke's reaction (this is also important to note).

Luo Hang took a look at Kalshiel, who was shaking her ears at him like a puppy wagging its tail happily at its owner, and knew that there would be some fun at noon, but no, he still had to work overtime at noon.

Obviously, both the key points that Klushier had highlighted and the key points that he had highlighted had achieved a very satisfactory result. This was very good, and everyone was happy.

"It's a matter of reciprocity. We just went to someone else's house, so it's only proper etiquette to invite them back, right?"

He smiled and put his hand into Klushier's open coat, and the blood demon lady sitting on the chair took the initiative to hang on him again with a "hey" sound.

He held Krosil's butt with both hands, and Krosil held his neck with both hands. The two of them were facing each other at close range, but Krosil was already an old couple and would not blush because of this. Instead, she wrapped her two soft thighs around his waist with ease.

Apart from the engineer, there was also the store owner and the internet otaku. Holding Kalciel in her arms felt as soft as a marshmallow.

"Besides, you've researched the functions of the nanohive. Duke Windermere is our ally and the parent of an operator, after all. There's nothing wrong with giving him some health treatment, right?"

You have such a kind heart.

Klushier's pointed ears twitched, and she suddenly became alert, staring at him with red eyes:

"You're targeting someone's daughter again!"

Why is it an affirmative sentence?

"I was going to say I didn't..."

As he spoke quietly, he brought his sincere face closer to Klosier in front of him.

"That's it!"

Krosier still said it in affirmative.

However, this did not affect her pouting and letting Luo Hang kiss her.

This scumbag has hooked up with so many women, but the conversation with the Duke was a very serious matter of high standards, and it couldn't be faked.

This time she was in a good mood, so she didn't care.

Shunli felt Klushie's cooperation and initiative when they were kissing. He smiled and sat down on the minister's chair with Klushie in his arms. He flipped through the design draft that Klushie had written to confirm whether there were any omissions or problems.

Overtime is important, but so is the main job.

“When can we expect to get the samples?”

"Tomorrow will do."

Kelucier lay in Luo Hang's arms without looking back, her chin resting on his shoulder, sniffing the refreshing scent of her man. "Rapid and directional spraying can basically be done by adding magnetic constraints to an ordinary release device. There's no sophisticated electronic structure in it anyway.

"I have all the necessary technology here. It just needs a little testing. I think it will be ready by tomorrow morning."

Luo Hang felt better after hearing the news.

As expected, professional matters should be handled by professionals.

He sighed lightly in his heart while bearing the heavy pressure that he had to bear on his chest.

The main principle of the silver mist was indeed figured out by Holhayya, but what he needed now was a device to release the silver mist. As the chief engineer of Rhodes Island, Krosier was obviously more professional in this regard.

He had unlocked a lot of technology, except for some special parts, and he had basically kept nothing back from Kor'sil. After being nurtured by him for so long, Kor'sil was now definitely a treasure.

With Kal'sil here, he only needs to unlock some major technologies, and Kal'sil can handle the rest of the branches. I wonder how much computing power of the data center can be saved.

And the most important thing is——

His chief engineer was really soft and fragrant in his arms, and well, there was no smell of engine oil today.

……

Windermere County, Lyon Carden.

"mom!"

"—!"

The Duke of Windermere, who had just returned home from get off work and had been a little absent-minded all the way, was startled.

When she came to her senses, she found that Dai Feien, who was wearing simple home clothes, was standing at the door, looking like he was blocking her way.

She managed to adjust her mood and smiled:

"What's wrong, Daphne?"

"The Academy City exchange group is ready to go, and the industrial zone renovation is on track. There's no need to keep a close eye on it. Duke Dudley's funeral and the traces left by the Blood Demon have been mostly dealt with—"

Delphine counted on his fingers one by one, and every thing he said was what the Duke of Windermere had said at noon, but the content was completely different.

The girl stared at her mother, who had just returned home from get off work and seemed a little tired. Her petite body exuded an unusually smart and capable aura, while she continued calmly:

"I've already contacted the aircraft from Rhodes Island, and it'll be in three days!"
