The moment Char sat beside him, the temperature around him rose noticeably.

But Howard felt like he had fallen into an ice cave and his blood was freezing.

"Hi..." It was no use pretending not to see anything at this time. Howard could only bite the bullet and greet Char, while his mind was working fast to find an excuse for himself.

"Hi." Xia also greeted Howard.

"I... I bought a package from another planet and I came here to pick it up..." Howard tried to explain lamely, but Char shattered his lie with just one sentence.

"Mr. Howard, I know you are leaving, so I'm here to see you off," said Xia.

Send me to heaven?

Howard's heart skipped a beat, but he still insisted, "Leave? I can't go to the upper nest, so do I have to go to the lower nest?"

"I mean leave Kalimdor, leave this planet," said Char.

"How can I, I, I, leave this planet? I'm just an ordinary person..." Howard was still being stubborn.

"I don't know, but you can easily crack the detection system. I think if you want to leave here, you should have a way to do it." Xia said.

Then Char said something, completely dispelling Howard's idea of ​​continuing quibbling: "Excuse me, is your father's name Optimus Prime? But according to the information I found, he should be someone who hates artificial intelligence, right?"

Howard: "This name and my story are just lies I made up. I didn't expect you to find out this far."

Char: "I'll take this as a compliment to my abilities."

Howard: "How did you know I was leaving this planet?"

"Mr. Howard, you've made a mistake anyone in your situation would make." Char looked at Howard and replied, "The wheat hulls produced by my partner are white, while the hulls used in the flour are yellow. To be on the safe side, I specifically analyzed the wheat hulls and concluded that they are not the same variety as the wheat ground into flour. It is Arabel who has purchased this yellow-hulled wheat."

Howard was speechless. He had always underestimated this big guy. Although Howard would be more cautious when facing Xia, his huge size always gave Howard an illusion.

In many people's stereotypes, this guy with devilish muscle transformation should be an impulsive and irritable reckless man with muscles in his brain.

But after watching all the way, Char seemed more like an intelligent character except for the display of force on the night he went crazy?

Howard: "So you knew I was lying to you from the beginning?"

Char: "If you insist on defining your actions as deception, then it is."

"Then why didn't you expose me?" Howard asked.

"If our roles and situations were reversed, would you have exposed my lies?" Char asked.

Howard lost his temper. Just like what Char said, if he were faced with this situation, he would not expose the other party's lies, but would wait and see what he wanted to do.

Howard felt that this was a punishment for lying. Ever since he was taken away by the group of Astartes on Orin, he had told countless lies, whether voluntarily or forced, intentionally or unintentionally.

And every time he deceives others with his lies, he always feels complacent and proud.

Now, retribution has come, and I have suffered a big loss in the most insignificant way.

"What are you going to do with me?" After realizing the reality, Howard was quite calm.

"I don't intend to interfere with your behavior. I came to see you this time just because I felt that based on our friendship, I should say goodbye to you, even though you may not want to see me." Xia said.

Howard did not expect this answer, and he couldn't help but raise a question.

"I...if I leave, there will be no one to make pancakes..." Howard hesitated and started to find reasons for Char to keep him.

"Although this part of the benefits is hard to give up, Mr. Howard, although I still don't know your background and ultimate goal, I can feel that you are an extraordinary person. What you are going to do may be a hundred times more important than this money, isn't it?" Xia asked back.

Howard didn't know how to answer, because to be honest, he didn't know what he wanted to do, let alone how far he could go. He didn't know if what he did would be more meaningful than selling pancakes here in the end.

"Remember that I am a good person, and good people shouldn't stop you for these interests." Xia continued to say to Howard.

Howard breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this answer, but for some reason he felt a little depressed.

Because I have always been on guard against this big guy. From the first time I saw him, I labeled him a bad guy because of his Bane-like appearance. Even though he never showed any malice towards me later, I just thought he was a very sinister bad guy.

The day he went berserk only deepened Howard's suspicions. If Arabelle hadn't risked her life to hold him back and put herself in danger, Howard might have stood by and watched him die.

That night, he was more trying to save Arabelle than to bring Char back to his senses.

But now that everything was clear, Howard realized that he had been arrogantly looking at others through tinted glasses.

"Thank you." Howard finally expressed his gratitude to the big man, and then said: "Also, I'm sorry that I misunderstood you before."

"Have you said goodbye to Arabelle?" Char said, not paying any attention to Howard's apology. "She'll be sad if you leave without saying goodbye, and if you invite her, she'll go with you."

Howard shook his head: "No."

It's not that he can't take Arabelle away, but he has no reason to take Arabelle away. If he takes whoever he gets along well with, who knows, in the end, the people he takes away might be enough to form a fleet. Luffy is not the kind of person who takes everyone he meets.

Although it is cruel, Arabelle is not absolutely necessary. She can only be regarded as a low-level combat force. Even Char can only be regarded as a low-level combat force. In the copy of the largest-scale conflict like Middle Nest, which may just be a gang fight, Arabelle's combat power can barely be regarded as a big father.

However, there are many dungeons in the universe that are difficult for Astartes or even demigods or true gods. In these dungeons, both Arabel and Char will be in the same situation as him.

For example, in the copy of the Astartes spaceship that traveled back from three hundred years later, Arabelle was just a cannon fodder.

For example, in the test of Slaanesh, I had a hard time even with high damage reduction because I didn't have the maximum soul magic resistance, not to mention Arabelle. Moreover, Arabelle was more likely to be corrupted and twisted at the first sight of Freya.

Arabelle is like a white and blue card that Howard drew in the low-difficulty dungeon of the Nest City. White cards are barely useful in low-level dungeons, but if you want to fight the world boss, you must at least put together an all-gold lineup.

Although mortals in the Warhammer world have the opportunity to upgrade and become stronger, white cards also have the possibility of strengthening and evolving.

But Howard was not sure whether he could collect so many resources in the future, and from a rational point of view, it was really better to directly practice initial gold or initial color than to cultivate and evolve white cards.

If Arabelle had a fighting force of the level of the Custodians or the Sisters of Silence, Howard might really invite her to go with him, but unfortunately she didn't.

And taking Arabelle away would not be good for Arabelle. She might encounter many dangers on the way to Mars and Terra. He had Slaanesh to protect him, but Slaanesh might not protect his companions. Howard roughly estimated Arabelle's possible survival rate after taking her away, and the result was very pessimistic.

In this situation, Howard is always terrifyingly rational, and it is precisely because of this rationality that he was able to force himself to shut up when he almost said something he shouldn't have said.
