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

After saying this, Fu Hua looked quietly at Chen Yuan, waiting for his response. The atmosphere was heavy, and the surroundings were deathly silent, except for the creaking of the chair Chen Yuan was sitting in.

Chen Yuan turned his head and met Fu Hua's gaze. A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes as he softly replied, "Fu Hua, there's no need to continue. Besides, with Otto's abilities, he wouldn't die so easily. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the name Otto Apocalypse?"

After a pause, Chen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then he said, "However, I still want to thank you. With you by my side, I do feel much more at ease."

"Clap! Clap! Clap!" Just then, a crisp and loud clapping sound suddenly came from behind the tall bookshelf, like the opening drumbeat of an unexpected symphony. Accompanying the applause were also faint sounds of objects moving.

Then, as if by magic, a complete Otto slowly emerged from behind the bookshelf, which had been tightly closed but was now separated. He smiled and clapped his hands gently.

“Not bad, not bad. As expected of my friend, you really understand me.” Otto clapped his hands and said in an appreciative tone, his eyes sparkling with a strange light.

"The Crimson Kite Immortal's strength has not diminished in the slightest. This body was forged from Soul Steel, yet you shattered it so easily. It's truly astonishing!"

However, in response to Otto's praise, Chen Yuan merely snorted, a hint of disdain appearing on his face. He was somewhat surprised by Otto's calm and composed reaction, and pondered to himself.

This guy, he's not angry at all after how I treated his body just now? It seems I underestimated this old man, Biden. Maybe he already expected me to do this.

"Hmph, do you even need to explain this? I've done all this to your body, and you're really not angry at all?" Thinking of this, Chen Yuan finally couldn't suppress his doubts and questioned him.

“Of course I’m not angry, my friend.” Otto smiled slightly, his tone as calm as a still lake. “This emotion is something I completely abandoned a long time ago. After all, for a person in power, neither anger nor rage can bring even the slightest bit of substantial benefit.”

“On the contrary, remaining calm and rational is the best way to control the situation and achieve our goals.” After saying this, Otto gave Chen Yuan a meaningful look. “For example, right now, I’ve only lost a body, but I’ve gained Mr. Chen Yuan’s trust in return. Isn’t that a great deal?”

"Alright, Mr. Chenyuan, we'll need you to change into this carefully prepared uniform now, as we're going to hold a simple yet grand welcome ceremony for you!"

As he spoke, Otto, beaming, handed the exquisite uniform to Chen Yuan again, raising an eyebrow. "How about it, my good friend? This is quite a show of respect for you!"

However, Chen Yuan merely glanced at the uniform before shaking his head without hesitation and replying softly, "There's really no need for such a fuss welcoming ceremony, and I'm not particularly interested in these clothes anyway."

Before he finished speaking, he casually raised his hand, and a symbiote quickly extended from it, instantly attaching itself to the uniform. Then, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded.

The clothes that Chen Yuan was wearing seemed to be magically removed, and in their place came the uniform that Otto had specially tailored for him.

It must be said that Otto's vision and taste are indeed unique and accurate. With just a few quick glances, he was able to estimate Chen Yuan's physical characteristics with remarkable accuracy.

Wearing this black uniform, Chen Yuan appeared even more tall, slender, and stylish. The well-tailored design seemed to have been made for him, with every line perfectly conforming to his body's curves.

"Oh, my friend, when you put on this uniform, you look like a hero straight out of mythology. It's truly a sight to behold!" Otto's emerald green eyes darkened slightly as he looked at Chen Yuan's performance, but he still praised her exaggeratedly.

"I firmly believe that in the future, with your extraordinary abilities, you will surely become the most dazzling existence in the Undying Blade and even in the Destiny!"

However, Chen Yuan seemed oblivious to this enthusiastic praise, ignoring Otto completely. His face was ashen, and without hesitation, he reached out and manipulated the symbiote to pounce on the uniform that had been there.

In an instant, a crisp tearing sound echoed all around, and the uniform shattered into countless fragments scattered across the ground. Amidst the tattered fabric, extremely tiny pinholes were clearly visible to everyone.

These pinholes were so small they were almost imperceptible, but at this moment they seemed particularly glaring. Chen Yuan stared intently at those pinholes, slowly raised his head, and looked coldly at Otto.

"Otto, I hope you can keep all the promises you made before. Otherwise, we're ready to fight to the death!"

Upon hearing this, Otto's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly recovered. He shrugged nonchalantly and replied with his usual smiling expression.

"Mr. Chenyuan, please rest assured, my dear friend. Whether it is destiny or my personal opinion, I have always regarded honesty and trustworthiness as the fundamental principle of conduct."

"This... is just a misunderstanding." With that, Otto snapped his fingers lightly, and the door to the bishop's office opened. Amber walked in and glanced at Chen Yuan without leaving a trace after seeing the pieces of clothing scattered on the floor.

"Your Excellency, what brings you here?" Amber's voice was calm, but she was clearly surprised by the scene before her. However, she behaved quite professionally and did not reveal much of her emotions.

“Amber,” Otto smiled and gestured for her to come closer, “please clean up the shards here and make sure nothing is left behind. Also, spread the word that tonight’s welcome banquet has been cancelled.”

“Understood, Your Excellency.” Amber nodded and turned to carry out Otto’s instructions, her movements swift and elegant. After Amber left, Bianca and Rita, peeking through the crack in the door, secretly observed the situation inside the office.

Otto and Chenyuan naturally noticed the two pairs of eyes at the door. Otto narrowed his eyes slightly, then clapped his hands as if he had suddenly thought of something. "Since Mr. Chenyuan has joined the Undying Blade, why don't... he spar with our strongest S-rank Valkyrie?"
