Chapter 10
Yes
I know. Huang Xuan feigned impatience and said, "Actually, it was originally a minor issue." As he spoke, he added a precautionary note: "Mom, as long as you promise to be aware of this matter but do not investigate me, I will be fine. Can you guarantee that?"
The person you are supposed to help. Zhang Xinyi did not find it amusing at all
After a moment of silence, Lorin did not answer the first question, stating: "Until a new command from the alliance is issued, the base must remain at this location. As for how to move, it will depend on the circumstances."
Zhang Xinyi unconsciously set down the pen in her hand. After a moment of thought, she felt that her 15-year-old son had already passed the initial stage of moral development. Thus, she spoke in a very slow tone: "If a person is in danger, then we ought to help him, but the premise is that we must not put ourselves in danger as well. Do you understand?"
"It is actually not as serious as you think," Huang Xuan comforted his mother, saying, "As long as you know about this matter, the risk is quite small." He believed that Lorin was an absolutely rational person—regardless of whether he was an individual or not, a rational person would never create a bigger problem or incur a higher risk just to solve a small issue. The disappearance of both the Huang family's legitimate grandson and daughter-in-law was an incident sufficient to mobilize all the resources of the Huang family. A rational person would absolutely not create a bigger problem or incur a higher risk just to solve a small issue. The disappearance of both the Huang family's legitimate grandson and daughter-in-law was an incident sufficient to mobilize all the resources of the Huang family. With this in mind, he continued, "It is actually just one question: whether I help the other party. If I help, there may be a return, but there may also be a little bit of risk. If I do not help, the risk is not significantly lower either."
Zhang Xinyi left a group of executives in a hurry and rushed home. She saw her son sitting obediently at the dining table and let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, both of them tacitly avoided discussing the phone call from the afternoon. Huang Xuan was unwilling for more people to know, while Huang's mother chose to trust her son's judgment. On the other hand, she also did not believe that Huang Xuan would dare to tell such a colossal lie.
On the other end, Huang Xuan helplessly hung up the phone. He did not expect that a single call could cause so much trouble. However, the core issue was resolved. Now, if Lorin wanted to harm him, he would have to think it over for quite a while. Nowadays, he was afraid that he had gained power, which had also changed his abilities.
Huang Xuan was somewhat clever and finally realized, saying: "Mom, you are overreacting; the other party does not intend to harm me." As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered. In truth, he could not control Lorraine's thoughts; he was indeed worried that this time-space guardian might burn bridges after crossing them, which was why he wanted to ask his mother. Just a few days ago, had it not been for his mother's quick response, he might have really had to stay in 1969. However, despite saying this, he did not believe that his mother's return home would improve anything; it might only make matters worse. He had to raise his voice and say: "Mom, please don't rush; the situation is not as you think."
This depends on your permissions
Upon returning home, Huang Xuan lay on his back in the pavilion, contemplating for a long time, and then he rubbed the cool mat with his hand, saying: "Lorlin, will your base always remain here"
Huang Xuan paused for a moment and said, "If mhetushucomcom is like this, can I still find you and the base of this alliance? I mean, you promised me at that time that you would take me to the dimension and time I wanted to go to"
What?
And then? Can I still find you
I will be back soon, and then we will have a good talk. You must stay at home and not move.
The other party... Huang Xuan was unsure what to make of Lorrin's decision to leave him in the P112 dimension for the first time, whether it was a protective instinct or a natural cruelty. After some consideration, he remarked: "The situation of the other party is different; his energy is entirely unlike ours. What I mean is, helping him could yield tremendous rewards, but it might also lead to nothing. Conversely, not helping him does not come without its own risks"
Zhang Xinyi thought for a moment and agreed. Since she and Huang Qunsheng had always been very busy, their son had always been quite independent. Although she still felt a bit worried, she decided to set her concerns aside since Huang Xuan had said so. After hanging up the phone, she called her second brother, simply asking him to check in on Huang Xuan from time to time. She believed that if anything were to happen, her usually composed second brother would certainly understand.
The other party's approach to problem-solving differs from ours. Huang Xuan felt that this hint was sufficient; he paused to think, originally intending to obtain an answer from his mother, but unexpectedly encountered another question. He smiled wryly and said, "Mom, it's enough for you to know about this matter"
Zhang Xinyi silently calculated in her heart that there were certainly many families capable of rivaling the power of the Huang and Zhang families, but very few dared to resolutely oppose the combined forces of the two. If one were to consider the issue of danger, such organizations would likely only be foreign governments and terrorist groups. However, the Zhang family itself has a military background; although it cannot be considered radical, it cannot be said to be completely different from such violent groups either. After thinking it over, Zhang Xinyi truly could not come up with any organization that possessed immense power and was fundamentally different from her own.
Huang Xuan blinked and asked, "What permissions?"
Your permissions are insufficient. Lorrain's response was quite clever
Pressing his lips together, Huang Xuan rested his hands behind his head and reflected on the events of the past few days. He remained somewhat concerned that Lorin might burn bridges, and now he worried that he might just walk away. Watching the tassels of the cedar sway in the wind, he reached into his pocket and decided to call his mother
Will you stay here forever
Huang Xuan pondered and said: "I have encountered a person, a very energetic person, who is in need of help right now. Um... helping him may involve risks, and it is very likely that there will be no returns. What do you think I should do?"
There is no more information, and she cannot make a judgment. She can only advise: "Son, if you really encounter trouble, you must tell your mother, do you understand? You are still young, and there are some things you do not understand"
I will certainly fulfill my promise
Zhang Xinyi was sitting in her office looking at documents. She glanced at the caller ID on her phone, smiled, and answered, saying: "Son, are you preparing to confess your sins or do you miss your mother?"
Oh..." Zhang Xinyi elongated her tone and said, "It's not easy, go ahead and speak."
At home
Hearing Huang Xuan say this, Zhang Xinyi clearly felt a bit restless. She distinctly sensed the danger in Huang Xuan's words. Perhaps Huang Xuan himself was unaware that the phrase "not helping him does not come without risks" is essentially synonymous with coercion or threats. Reflecting on this, Zhang Xinyi felt it was her fault; her son had been missing for two days, and for no apparent reason, they had received a sum of 16 million. She had not taken it seriously. Thinking of the group of useless subordinates under her elder brother, she packed her things while softly saying, "Son, where are you, right now."

Relatively speaking, he was not worried that Lorraine would overhear his phone call; in fact, it would be better if she did, as it would prevent him from harboring any ill intentions. Although this gentleman always referred to himself as a guardian of time and space, resembling a machine, Huang Xuan harbored doubts about this. Nevertheless, he felt that his safety was assured. Furthermore, his conversation with his mother reminded him that in his dealings with Lorraine, whether or not he could expect a return was not the main issue, as his contributions had been minimal. Lorraine had already brought him nearly 20 million in benefits, and now it was time for him to give back to Lorraine. Of course, this could also reduce the likelihood of being transported to an unknown dimension.
Yes, Lorrain answered succinctly
After a moment of silence, Huang Xuan replied with an "en" and said: "Actually, I just wanted to ask for your opinion, but I didn't expect you to turn my words against me."
How can I ensure this? Huang's mother said somewhat unhappily: "You now..."
If circumstances permit, how would you relocate your... um, the base of the alliance? Move it to another dimension?
Yes
"I have a question I would like to ask you," Huang Xuan said hesitantly.
is the base of the alliance
"Your permissions are insufficient," Lorraine repeated.
"Regarding what you just said, if the other party is a very capable person, then why does he still need your help? He should have more means than you do." Huang's mother was clearly worried that Huang Xuan was falling into a trap, but she did not say it outright.
Well then. What is it like
Huang Xuan changed his wording and said: "So how can I obtain this permission?"
Zhang Xinyi chuckled softly. She was an exceptionally intelligent woman; at least in the Huang family, no daughter-in-law had ever been allowed to independently establish a business group, not even those from the Zhang family. At this moment, she astutely remarked, "You say this person has great energy, completely different from our family?"
Huang Xuan found his mother somewhat alarmist and humorously said, "What are you worried about? Who would still come to catch me?"
Mom! Huang Xuan interrupted her, feeling that it was actually best for Mom to have a vague understanding of the situation. If it were Dad, he would be more worried. He thought for a moment and said: "Mom, what do you think could happen to me? If it were a kidnapping, I wouldn't call you like this. If you are truly concerned about my safety, please don't rush to conclusions, and definitely don't make a big fuss about looking for me. That would be troublesome. As things stand now, who would dare to harm me?"
This depends on the circumstances
"Do you want to help him?" Zhang Xinyi paused her actions of tidying up, clearly having heard the underlying tone in Huang Xuan's words
"Is this situation about the amount of energy?" Huang Xuan suddenly asked
