Chapter 1510: Chapter 1510
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Asia Alliance, this marks my second visit here. The first time was when I had just broken through to tier six and came for certification. I had not visited since then, until today.
Du You exhaled deeply, a flash of trepidation crossing his eyes.
On his way here, Du You felt numerous gazes fixed on him. These were no ordinary people; all of them were tier seven. Unexpectedly, Earth had so many hidden tier seven individuals who normally kept a low profile.
These individuals acted unrestrained, and some even harbored hostility, letting Du You realize that he was not without rivals.
However, just as he was approaching, suddenly a terrifying gaze swept over him. Du You felt that he was completely powerless against this force, unable to even muster the will to resist.
Who was this person? Late tier seven, peak tier seven, or an even more formidable tier eight.
When that pressure disappeared, those covetous gazes also vanished, and none dared to show themselves.
Du You’s previously inflated ego thoroughly deflated. Earth was not a place where he could act recklessly, at least, not until he reached tier eight.
After readjusting his mindset, Du You felt much relieved and saw everything with greater clarity.
The personnel of the Asia Alliance had already received the news, and when Du You arrived, everyone came out to welcome him, eagerly offering him tea and water. The identity certification was quickly handled.
However, replacing his wristwatch with a higher-tier model would take three days.
In reality, a tier six wristwatch was already the highest level. A tier seven watch only added some patterns to signify one’s status; internally, everything was the same. This wristwatch served more as a status symbol. Of course, its main purpose was to protect others by informing them of the wearer’s status.
Upon seeing such a wristwatch, the descendants of upper class families and major clans dared not provoke the wearer.
After the certification, Du You spoke, "Both my parents are researchers of the Alliance. I want to contact them, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
"Of course, of course, even if you decide to bring them back, it won’t be a problem." The rights of a tier seven were truly not simple. When he was still tier six, even contacting two people required strict approval. Now, even-taking others away posed no issue.
Before long, Du You saw his parents through a video call. It had been a long time since he last saw them, and their familiar faces made Du You feel choked up. He had had little contact with them throughout his life. But Du You didn’t feel any estrangement; all he felt was deep emotion. The rıghtful source is 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Xiao You, you’re grown up now, with your own matters to attend to. Don’t always worry about us."
"Indeed, you say we were conducting an experiment, and you suddenly interrupt us, really wasting our time."
Du You was dumbfounded; after such a long time apart from his parents, why were they scolding him as soon as they met? They seemed not that keen to see him. His accomplishments meant nothing to them.
Du You felt neither disappointed nor dejected, only bewildered and embarrassed. Indeed, these were his real parents.
Suddenly, Du You’s mother said, "Right, now that you’re already tier seven, you can surely protect Du Yun well. Everything here is fine; it’s just that we have to share everything with others. It’s better for Yun to develop on your side."
Du You nodded helplessly, agreeing to take good care of his sister, Du Yun.
"Yes, why only these two young ladies? Didn’t you say there were two more? Why not bring them back for us to see? By the way, where are my grandson and granddaughter?"
Mothers everywhere are the same. After such a long time, you’re already thinking about grandchildren. Du You rolled his eyes, "No, nothing at all. I’m still so young, why would I want children so early?"
Beside him, Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi exchanged glances, their faces slightly reddening, then looked down.
They, of course, knew that this was their own doing; actually, all Professionals did the same. It’s just that no one expected that Du You would advance so quickly.
"What, nothing? How could that be? You are now tier seven, and the life essence of a tier seven is different from ordinary people. It’s already difficult to have children now. Forget it, let’s look to Yun instead, let her have children."
Du You was exasperated. What kind of parents were these?
After chatting for a while, Du You’s father finally couldn’t hold back any longer: "Alright, alright, we’ll talk more when we have time. There’s an important experiment waiting, don’t waste time here. And you, don’t contact us if there’s nothing important, interrupting our experiments."
Having said that, his father pulled his mother away and left, leaving Du You alone, staring blankly at the screen. Nearby, other Alliance members all kept their heads down, as if there was something on the ground catching their attention. I’ve never heard this kind of topic before; yes, that’s it, I know nothing.
And Du You realized, it wasn’t like what he thought. His parents weren’t controlled by the Alliance due to some secrets, or to put it differently, they were not forcibly controlled.
His parents were just like that; if they didn’t want to leave, then let them be.
As long as he was alive, Du You couldn’t believe anyone would dare to harm his parents.
Later, Du You reconnected with his sister Du Yun, and this time there were no surprises. Upon learning that Du You had reached tier seven, Du Yun’s eyes brightened like lanterns, almost popping out of her sockets.
Immediately, Du Yun agreed to join Du You’s company without a second thought. Considering her emphasis on strength, how could she continue to waste time in the Alliance when she could access far more resources under Du You’s wing, without anyone competing against her?
For the Alliance, winning over a tier seven powerhouse was a beneficial deal. Not just one Du Yun; they would give several if Du You asked. After all, they believed although Du Yun’s potential and talent were decent, reaching tier seven was immensely challenging. If Du You could nurture her, it would be a monumental benefit for humanity.
Du Yun’s return would take a few more days, so Du You could only wait at home in the meantime.
During this period, the whole Imperial Capital stirred. Accompanied by the public unveiling of Du You as a tier seven, the entire capital shook. Whether Professionals or civilians, tier sevens were usually only rumored about, rarely seen.
Now, encountering one in person, it was like seeing a live idol; it’d be strange if there wasn’t any commotion.
