As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Otto's emerald green eyes, but it was fleeting, and he quickly returned to his usual calm and composed demeanor.

He gently raised his hands, clapped them together a few times, and nodded slightly to Fu Hua. After doing this, he slowly and deliberately began to speak.

"Please rest assured, my dear friend. My trust in you is not unfounded; it is based on a wealth of facts!"

"Your previous performance has already fully proven that you are absolutely a reliable partner who can be depended on and entrusted with our lives! After all, you have taken very good care of my dear granddaughter and Bianca."

"I hope it really is as you say..." Chen Yuan responded softly, while unconsciously rubbing his fingers together. Although he agreed verbally, the vigilance deep in his eyes grew even stronger.

'As expected, he found out...' Chen Yuan had this premonition all along. Although the system said that Otto would never see him unless he wanted to, that bastard was Otto Apocalypse. Just because he couldn't see him didn't mean he couldn't be found.

After all, in his eyes, the man named Otto seemed quite amiable and gentle on the outside; but in reality, he was a cunning and unpredictable fellow.

Often, a seemingly insignificant action made by a person may conceal some hidden secrets that are difficult for ordinary people to perceive. For example, in the original work, Fu Hua said, "Immortal Chi Yuan, I did not lie!"

“Since we’ve already come this far, there’s no need for us to beat around the bush any longer, my friend.” At this moment, Otto strode to the large desk and sat down leisurely.

He still had that hateful smile on his face that made you want to rush up and punch him, and continued, "Actually, the conditions I want to discuss with you today are not complicated, there is only one."

At this point, Otto paused slightly, his gaze fixed on Chen Yuan. After catching a fleeting glint of curiosity in Chen Yuan's eyes, he slowly spoke, "I hope you can consider joining our Undying Blade and becoming one of our new vice-captains."

"The Undying Blade? Vice-Captain?" Upon hearing this, a ripple appeared on Chen Yuan's previously calm face, and his brows furrowed involuntarily. Clearly, this sudden suggestion was completely beyond his expectations.

For Chen Yuan, joining the Undying Blade and becoming its so-called vice-captain meant that he would have to establish a closer relationship and cooperation with Otto from now on. However, this was precisely the situation that Chen Yuan was most resistant to and unwilling to face.

"Otto, are you making fun of me?" Chen Yuan's tone was full of undisguised suspicion, and she stared straight at Otto, her eyes revealing not just simple curiosity, but also an indescribable hostility.

“I have always been alone, free and unrestrained. I have long been used to this lifestyle and simply cannot tolerate being constrained and restricted by others.”

"Besides, I have absolutely no interest in your Destiny organization, let alone want to have any further involvement with it!"

Faced with Chen Yuan's firm stance, Otto merely smiled and gently shook his head. "Mr. Chen Yuan, I know you have your concerns, but I believe that if you join us, you will not only be able to better protect yourself, but also make a greater contribution to the future of humanity. Your abilities go far beyond that."

"Do you even believe what you're saying?" Chen Yuan glanced at the other person speechlessly after hearing this, then turned his head to the side, completely ignoring Otto's request.

What can Otto do to me? You're kidding. At worst, I'll fight him. I have new skills, and Fu Hua is here. A mere Destiny can't stop me at all.

"Master Chen," Fu Hua said softly at this moment, "whatever your decision, I will support you. Even if we fight our way out of Destiny, I am not afraid."

"Don't worry, things haven't gotten to that point yet." Chen Yuan nodded, his gaze shifting back and forth between Otto, then he took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

“Otto, I will indeed give your proposal careful consideration. However, before that, please give me a detailed and reasonable explanation as to why you want me to join us.”

Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Otto nodded and smiled slightly, as if he had expected such a reaction. "My old friend, I must say, you really grasped the crux of the problem immediately."

“Well, about that, it’s actually quite simple…” Otto paused slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping over Chen Yuan’s somewhat cold face, before continuing.

"Of course, I completely understand your concerns. Don't worry, my friend, I don't have any unreasonable demands on you."

"I'm just hoping that one day in the future, if the Destiny Organization encounters some insurmountable difficulties, you might remember our past relationship and come back to help us, or perhaps it's me~"

However, in response to Otto's seemingly sincere words, Chen Yuan merely snorted coldly, then crossed his arms over his chest, his face full of disdain.

"Hmph, you make it sound so easy! Don't you realize that your Destiny organization is always plagued by trouble and constant problems? If you had to call me every time there was a problem, wouldn't I just become your free labor force, available at your beck and call?"

Otto spread his hands, looking helpless, and said, "Mr. Chenyuan, it's a bit unreasonable of you to say that. We naturally won't bother you unnecessarily; we'll only ask for your help in times of great crisis. Moreover, during your time with the Undying Blade, Destiny will provide St. Freya Academy with many resources to help you improve your strength."

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a thought flashing through his mind. He didn't need Otto's resources now, but Theresa did, after all, she had an entire St. Freya Academy to support, and Otto had offered her a very good deal.

"Fine, fine." After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yuan looked up at Otto: "Alright, I can temporarily join the Undying Blade. But let me make this clear: if I discover any attempt to scheme against me, I'll leave immediately."

“My friend, you’re overthinking it.” Otto smiled after hearing this. “Then, from now on, welcome Mr. Dust Fate to the Undying Blade. Here are the uniform and badge.”

Otto handed over a set of exquisite clothing and a gleaming badge. "Of course, please rest assured about the size and everything else; trust in the craftsmanship of Destiny."

"Oh, thank you so much, you even prepared clothes for me." Chen Yuan took the clothes Otto handed her, her heart skipping a beat. It seemed Otto knew far more than she had realized...
