vI'm a cornerstone, I'm here to kidnap the robin

Even Jeremy was slightly stunned when he was suddenly asked such a nonsensical question.

He could certainly explain to Sunday from a biological perspective why birds can fly, but he didn't think that was the answer the other party wanted.

"Once, my sister and I found a Harmony pigeon with a broken wing. I advocated raising it well in our manor, while my sister thought we should release it back into the sky. In the end, I acquiesced to her choice."

"At that time, I still believed that every life had the right to soar, but a few days later, I found the remains of its broken wings outside the manor."

Looking back on the past, Sunday always has a lot of confusion in his heart.

His adoptive father was not only the previous head of the Oak family, but also a very outstanding educator. Many of the mainstays in important positions within Pinocchio today have listened to Mr. Gopemu's teachings.

Under the guidance of his adoptive father, Sunday learned to respect life and understood the necessity of doing good deeds.

But countless times, facts have proven to him that good deeds may not always bring good results.

It is for this reason that he has doubts about [Tongxie].

"O righteous people with upright hearts, please listen to my question. If spreading wings ends in broken wings, should we give life the power to fly? If [supporting the weak with the strong] is truly the foundation of paradise, then who is it that leaves the miserable to wail in this world of suffering?"

What's wrong with this guy?

Looking at Sunday, who looked confused and seemed to be thinking about some important philosophical question, the gray-haired nameless guest showed a bright look in his golden eyes.

Xing recognized every word the other party said, but after arranging them, she felt that Sunday seemed to be speaking some niche language.

He said who would understand this, it was nonsense and difficult for Xing to understand.

Isn't it right to use the strong to support the weak?

Seeing injustice on the road is to help others but it is the creed of Wumingke. If I sit back and watch tragedy befall the weak, then what difference does it make between the strong and the weak?

Although he was confused as to why the seemingly compassionate head of the Oak family didn't even understand such a simple truth, Xing still kept his mouth shut.

She knew that Sunday was not asking her any questions.

"Who would understand this? It's incomprehensible and hard to understand. Besides, it's not something that can be understood just by explaining it."

After hearing Sunday's confusion, Jeremy looked at the head of the Oak family in front of him with some surprise, surprised that he, who was recognized by the envoy, would be entangled in such a problem.

"As long as there is life, there will be a day when it comes to its end. Even Star Gods have the possibility of falling. It's just that fragile lives are more likely to die young. But as long as there are people who can't bear it, they will always lend a helping hand to fragile lives."

Looking at the swarm of insects constantly attacking the barrier in Liumeng Reef, Jeramy's fingertips subconsciously brushed across his chest. The King's Certificate made from the heart of the Star God was surging with surging power.

This also allowed Jeramy to be certain that there must be the remains of the Star God in the large cave of Liumeng Reef, which was echoing with the King's Certificate on his body.

"Taiz Yuros, the pinnacle of the concept of [breeding], destroyed the existence of my homeland and once took my life."

"In fact, if I had chosen to bow my head, I would have most likely survived. As long as I degenerate my soul into a worm that only knows how to destroy everything, Taiziyulus would have regarded me as one of his kind. Perhaps with the heart of a Star God, I could even become the second Insect King."

Recalling the scene when he had just completed the casting of the King's Certificate and was driving the God Wolf Spider to fight against that transcendent existence, although the gap between the two sides was so great that the wind and waves caused by the vibration of the insect wings alone could crush him to the point of being unable to move, Jeramy did not choose to bow his head after all.

"But I don't approve of His [reproduction]. The birth of life should be a story blessed by parents and filled with joy, not the creation of mindless, soulless monsters that instinctively devour everything in sight."

Looking at Jeremy's serious face, Sunday's silver eyes revealed obvious surprise.

Not many people in the world have the courage to comment on a star god in this way, even if the other party has fallen for many years.

"You want to reshape the fate of [breeding]?"

"I want to correct the fallacy that this is His exclusive possession."

Jeremy's answer was without hesitation, leaving no doubt about his resolve.

"Of course, I also understand what this goal entails. The danger is secondary. If I fail, or even if I make a wrong move, the insect plague that once brought disaster might once again sweep across the universe. That's why I chose to join the company."

Taking out his cornerstone, Jeremy smiled.

"If that day ever comes, I'm sure the Amber King won't mind swinging his hammer once more to protect this world."

"I see. Is this the reference you gave me? This determination and sincerity... Jeremy, you are indeed my righteous man."

Looking at the young man in white in front of him, Zhou Ri's silver eyes were stunned for a moment, and the confusion in his heart suddenly cleared up.

What a pity! If Jeramy was willing to convert to [Harmony] or [Order], he would surely receive the unblinking gaze of the gods.

In contrast, my sister, who played two roles and played with the feelings of this righteous man...

Sunday suddenly felt that his sister was a bit of a nuisance.

Volume 102: Supergravity Robin

In a cafe in Pinocchio's reality, Topa and Robin sat opposite each other.

Sunlight shines through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows into this simple-style coffee shop. The air is filled with the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans, which intertwines with the warmth of the sun, making people feel relaxed unconsciously.

The scourge of the Oak family... No, the proud Singer of the Universe, Pinocchio, sat at the table, staring straight at the Stoneheart Ten in front of him, with hostility in his eyes.

Bathed in the hostile gaze of the robin, Topa seemed much calmer.

He took a sip of the steaming coffee in the cup to dilute the slight taste of Suleda left on his tongue.

In fact, she didn't like Pinocchio's signature drink very much, just like she didn't like the Universal Singer in front of her, who was also Pinocchio's signature drink.

Neither side spoke, as if waiting for the other to speak first, but in the end, Topa, who had been taught by Ms. Emerald, was more patient.

"Ms. Toppa, you sent Mr. Jeramy away specifically to pretend to be a wooden man with me, didn't you?"

The robin pushed the coffee cup in front of him a little further away, indicating that he had no intention of continuing to play charades.

Rather than watching this "colleague of Mr. Jeramy" act so self-righteously as to act like he was in control of everything in front of him, the robin would rather be the first to break the silence.

"If you're discussing business cooperation between the company and Pinocchio, I can introduce you to Old Odi, the head of the First Clover family. If it's about Mr. Jeremy..."

The robin paused, his gaze fixed on Topa without wavering.

"Mr. Jeramy is my prisoner. My punishment for him is not over yet. No one can take him away from Pinocchio."

Although the robin looked a little embarrassed in his hasty assertion of sovereignty, it had to be said that this rhetoric was indeed effective, at least it successfully broke Topal's pretended calmness.

When Topana heard the word "prisoner" come out of the robin's mouth, his originally calm expression suddenly became panic.

What's going on? They haven't been in Pinocchio for long, and Jeremy isn't the kind of person who would be locked up obediently. In other words... is this Miss Singer really doing such a stunt?

"Prisoner? What did you do to him?!"

Topa's eyes widened, and even a hint of questioning came into his voice.

Although the singer did not say it explicitly, the rich imagination of the director and senior investor of Interstellar Peace Company still made various images emerge in her mind.

This domineering young lady must have taken advantage of the fact that Jeremy was seriously injured and unable to resist to do something to him.

Just like what Lady Emerald had suggested to her before, she would first use the cornerstone to hit Jeremy on the back of the head to knock him unconscious, and then she could first..., then..., and finally...

When Topa almost regretted her arrogance, she went to ask Ms. Jade for advice, and she told her this method.

"Since Jeremy won't be leaving the company anytime soon, you can try to get the job done first and collect the money later. Isn't that what collecting topaz is for?"

Of course, this plan was eventually rejected by Topa because it lacked too much merit. She still remembers the disappointed look on Ms. Emerald's face at that time.

But Toppa never expected that the plan that he had rejected at the beginning would be used by someone else first.

Seeing Topa, who had been calm and composed and seemed to have the upper hand, suddenly look flustered, the robin smiled for the first time.

She had thought that Miss Toppa would be a tough opponent, but now it seemed that she was just a loser who wanted something but couldn't get it. She just relied on the identity of a colleague to get close to Mr. Jeramy and wanted to take advantage of him without leaving any trace.

"We've done some very intimate things together. We almost met the devil together. When Mr. Jeramy was unconscious, I was by his side. Even..."

The robin's white fingertips gently brushed across her lips, and a blush silently climbed up her pretty face, the meaning of which was self-evident.

No matter how proud he was in his heart, it was still a bit embarrassing for the Universal Singer to mention this matter in front of others.

However, to Robin's surprise, Topper did not show the expression she had expected after listening to her story.

On the contrary, the meaning revealed in the eyes of the director of the Interstellar Peace Company seemed to be saying...that's it?

"It's just a matter of living and dying together, Miss Mockingbird. Believe me, the number of times I've walked on the threshold of death with him is far more than you can imagine. As for kissing..."

Topa's voice paused. Even she found it difficult to talk about such things.

It wasn't that she was ashamed of that sort of thing, but even she wasn't sure whether what happened in that situation could be considered proof of an affair.

After all, Jeremy had performed artificial respiration many times to save her life.

Even on that desert planet, before Jeramy used fine spider webs and venom spray guns to filter and block the air, creating an atmosphere that was barely enough for him to survive, he had been supplying her with oxygen.

And it was at that time that Topa said those arrogant words that almost made him regret it to death and completely ruined the good situation.

It was after that incident that Topa's personality became much more straightforward, and he basically said what he thought.

After all, with Jeremy's personality, he will really believe you if you say a few polite words to him.

"In short, there's no way between you and Jeremy. He won't leave the company easily, just like you can't leave Pinocchio at will. If you think that being apart won't stop the feelings that have developed between you in less than two weeks..."

Topa paused, put down his coffee and touched the account book beside him, revealing the confidence of a senior investor.

She couldn't help but be confident. After all, even if Jeremy tried his best, it was impossible for him to stay in Pinocchio for more than a month, and she still had a long time to spend with him.

Love grows over time, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

But as long as Jeremy is still in the company, he will always be the one with the initiative.

"You can try to see which is more lasting, the friendship between him and me that has lasted for several years or the hormonal agitation that occurred in just half a month."

Oh my god, there are cows...

After listening to Topa's story, the robin's brows jumped, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Although she didn't want to imagine that situation, even she had to admit that what Topa said was very likely to come true.

After all, although Mr. Jeramy seemed to have no feelings for Miss Toppa, he was also not on guard because of his trust in her.

Now they can share a bottle without any feeling, but the robin dare not imagine what will happen in the future.

Share a bottle of drink, share an office, share a pet, share a bed, share a bed, share... each other's life?

The air conditioning in the cafe seemed to be turned down a little too low, and a slight chill seeped silently from the bottom of Robin's heart, making her shiver.

The thought that Mr. Jeremy, who should have belonged to him alone, might one day share a pillow with someone else without noticing anything unusual, or even whisper his name in his sleep because of his own antics...

Don’t do that kind of thing!

With a slight shake of his head, the robin freed himself from the fantasy that might become a reality.

No matter what, I can't show weakness to this annoying stock trading workaholic at this time.

"It's simple. I won't let him leave Pinocchio. And... since Miss Topa is so certain of your assumption, why hasn't there been any substantial progress in your relationship with Mr. Jeramy so far? Or..."

The robin raised a brow, thinking of a possibility.

"you failed?"

"Gu..."

The robin's guess hit the nail on the head, leaving Topa with no way to refute it. After all, he had indeed ruined a good situation in vain.

In just a few words, offense and defense can be easily changed.

However, Topa is not the kind of person who is hesitant. Ever since she ruined a good situation because of a single sentence, she has completely abandoned the element of hesitation from her character.

Just like the projects and stock market she has experienced, she is willing to accept defeat.

"Yes, I failed. Back then on that desert planet, out of shyness, I told Jeremy, who had just given me oxygen through his mouth, that it was just an accident caused by the mission. This completely brought our relationship back to the concept of colleagues."

Pinching Zhang Zhang's ear in dissatisfaction, Topa's expression was somewhat angry, as if he wanted to travel through time and space and strangle himself from a few years ago to death.

"But I haven't lost, I just haven't won yet. There's a long way to go, and I have plenty of opportunities to start over."

This is true. In Topa's dictionary, there is no concept of discouragement.

So what if you ruin a good opportunity because of your quick words? You can just start over.

Her identity as a colleague brought her a natural advantage. Although it could be considered a disadvantage in some sense, Topa always had confidence in her abilities.

However, Topa's confidence took on a different meaning in the eyes of the robin.

"Tough talk."

The frown on his face relaxed quietly. Thanks to Topar's straightforwardness, the robin now fully understood the embarrassing situation that his so-called rival in love was in.

Because of her panicked refusal, her relationship with Mr. Jeramy was completely locked at the level of colleagues.

Just as she said, if they continue to get along, they may fall in love with each other over time, and the bud that she had pinched off with her own hands may not fail to sprout again.

However, I will not give her this opportunity.

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, Miss Topper. I'm now certain that you pose no threat to me at all."

Picking up the slightly cold coffee on the table, Robin put the bitterness in the cup into her mouth. The aroma mixed with the bitterness made the corners of her mouth curl up slightly.
