Chapter 1430 - Harrison’s Determination (2/2)
Kasuyi laughed. “That’s for the average person to see. How can we, the upper echelons, not know? As long as your Pivotal Snake matures, it will be time for us to officially counterattack. It won’t take that long.”
“That’s hard to say.” Han Xiao shook his head and said, “The Pivotal Snake is similar to most creatures. It has six stages of growth, namely the embryo stage, infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Although the Pivotal Snake infant is growing quickly, it has only been less than a year since it broke out of its shell. At most, it is still in the infant stage, and it is still too far from adulthood.” “No matter what, the Pivotal Snake won’t take a few hundred years to reach adulthood. I estimate that it will take at most ten to thirty years,” Oathkeeper concluded.
“That isn’t short.” Han Xiao spread out his hands. “Therefore, the expeditionary army still has to continue moving. We have to search for the World Tree’s main body together. Now that we know each other’s strengths, we don’t have to worry about leaking information. The expeditionary army doesn’t have to be as secretive as before.”
Kasuyi suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, is there someone called Harrison among your subordinates?”
“You know him?” Han Xiao was surprised.
“I went to reinforce a battlefield not too far away from Planet Aquamarine’s refuge planet, so after the battle, I went to Floating Dragon to take a look. Ames was not at home, and her manager, Jenny, received me. She knows about our relationship and wanted me to pass you a message.” “What is it?” Han Xiao was curious.
“She said she’s pregnant.” Kasuyi’s tone was playful.
“F*ck!” Han Xiao was shocked. “It’s not mine! I’ve never mated with her! Don’t talk nonsense!”
“What are you thinking?” Kasuyi raised his brows. “She said the child’s father is Harrison, not you. Why are you so agitated?”
“Phew, that’s good… Can you finish your sentence in one breath next time?”
Han Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
If Ames misunderstood that he had something going on with her sister, things would get interesting…
Kasuyi sized him up from head to toe and laughed. “How can a Transcendent be afraid of a mere Ames?”
“What do you mean scared? What do you know? No matter how strong you are, strength is not used to intimidate your family. This is called protecting the harmony of your family.” Han Xiao said with disdain.
Kasuyi did not comment and continued, “Anyway, Jenny told me to tell you that she hopes you can persuade Harrison to give up his position in the expeditionary army and not take the risk again. She doesn’t want her child to lose his father the moment he’s born.”
Hearing this, Han Xiao also stopped joking and told Phillip to check on Harrison’s current situation.
He did not have the time to dig into his subordinates’ privacy, and he only found out about this today. In the past, he only knew that the two of them had some ambiguous relationship, but he did not confirm their relationship. After some investigation, he realized that the two of them had only officially gotten together half a year ago. In the past decade or so, Harrison had been participating in the expedition in the secondary dimension and rarely contacted Jenny. He had originally thought that he would not be able to take care of her feelings, but Jenny did not know if it was because no one wanted her or because she was old and did not want to be alone anymore. Not only did she not have any complaints about this, but her feelings for Harrison also grew deeper instead.
More than half a year ago, the expeditionary army outpost was breached by the World Tree Blessed Race, and the expeditionary army suffered heavy losses. Harrison escaped with his life, and when the expeditionary army reassembled, he finally had the time to return to the main universe. He had escaped death, and Jenny was burning with passion. The two of them finally did it, and the long-distance relationship had come to fruition. They seemed to have made up their mind to reproduce, and they did not take any safety measures.
A month ago, Harrison returned to the expeditionary army and left Jenny’s side.
Han Xiao looked at the file and said, “No one seems to have recruited him. He returned to the expedition army voluntarily.”
Because of the Pivotal Snake, Han Xiao did not continue to force Harrison to participate in the subsequent expedition. Now, he realized that it was Harrison’s own doing.
“Why is this guy so proactive?”
Han Xiao was curious. Using the Realmless King as a transit station, he contacted Harrison, who had been branded.
A few seconds later, the call connected.
“Your Excellency Black Star.”
Harrison’s remote projection appeared and greeted Han Xiao respectfully.
“There’s no need to be so polite. It’s like this. Jenny is pregnant, and she told me to persuade you not to take the risk with the expeditionary army. Furthermore, you’re not the only one in the army. How about it? Do you want to go back?” Han Xiao went straight to the point.
Harrison shook his head. “I appreciate her kindness, but I won’t go back.”
“I noticed that you joined the expedition willingly. What were you thinking?” Han Xiao asked.
Harrison was silent for a moment before slowly saying,
“When I was on Floating Dragon Island, I came into contact with many refugees. Do you know their current state? They live in panic every day. Many of them can’t take the pressure and choose to free themselves, while those who are alive fear the unknown tomorrow. No one knows if they will one day become the target of the World Tree invasion. New religions are popular, and countless people are looking for comfort. Everyone is praying for the war to end soon.
You said that my luck is very good, and it’s very suitable for me to find things. I don’t know if it’s true, but I hope you’re right. I hope that this illusory luck will be of use and contribute to the end of the war as soon as possible.”
Han Xiao raised his brows and chuckled.
“Not bad, you’ve made me feel a little respect for you… However, you should know that we have a very high chance of winning now that the Pivotal Snake is in our hands. The expeditionary army is no longer the only way, and it might not be of any use. You’re not the only one in the army, and your actions might just be a waste of effort and a risk to your life. Why not go back and accompany your unborn child?”
Harrison shook his head. “I don’t want to enjoy myself under your protection for these reasons. My colleagues are here, and I don’t want to run away. Please don’t persuade me anymore. I’ve made up my mind.” “Alright, I won’t persuade you then. Be careful.” Han Xiao nodded.
“… If possible, please tell Jenny that I love her.”
Little brother, do you know that the moment you say this, your death omen is flashing?
“Tell her yourself. Who do you think I am? Your mouthpiece?”
Han Xiao clicked his tongue and hung up before Harrison could reply.
Little brother, don’t thank me. I’m helping you pull out the flag to save your life!
Kasuyi listened to the whole conversation from the side and sighed. “You have a good officer.”
“He wasn’t like this in the past. He was at most a curious child, but now it seems like he’s already an adult.”
Han Xiao paused and smiled. “This person might be a little stupid, but the world needs some idiots like him. Maybe he can really give me a surprise.”
