The Universe's First Hide and Seek

Not long after Saenz and Lichen returned to the Dragon Clan, they got the latest news about the Noahsen royal family scandal.

Some media—of course not so official and large media—interviewed the mother of the old king's lover Noah Sen, saying that her daughter had been secretly imprisoned by the Noah Sen royal family, with no freedom, and even unknown life and death.Through the media, she appealed to the royal family to respect human rights and release her illegally imprisoned daughter as soon as possible.

"Wow." Li Chen sighed when he saw the news, "This is not to save her daughter, but to kill her daughter!"

Saenz said: "If the mother doesn't speak out, there is still a glimmer of hope for her daughter. After taking the child away, she may be released one day. But since the mother has told the truth so openly, the royal family has to find a way to let The truth has become a rumour."

Li Chen said: "I guessed for a while, someone will 'kindly' provide some evidence to this mother and the outside world, such as her daughter's exit records, activity videos, etc. In this way, this woman is theoretically no longer in the Noah Sen Empire. The Noahsen royal family will be able to completely get rid of the whirlpool of public opinion."

Saenz raised his eyebrows: "Not in theory, but not in practice, right?"

"Who knows?" Li Chen shrugged, "Even if there is only a handful of ashes left in the universe, they are still floating in the star field of the Noah Sen Empire."

Saenz said solemnly: "Interstellar law prohibits littering in the universe."

"I'm just a metaphor, isn't it the same in Sahaili?" Li Chen replied, "I looked at the background information, and guessed that this mother is not a good person, and it was probably instigated by the opponent of the new King Noah Sen. Anyway, if I don’t accept interviews, my daughter will not come back in all likelihood, and the king’s source of income will be cut off long ago when she comes back. If I give this mother a sum of money, I think she can sell her daughter.”

Saenz said with a smile: "What if she is really affectionate and is just being tricked into using stupid methods?"

"Then I'd rather it be intentional, at least there's money to be paid if it's intentional." Li Chen said, "But the creature 'mother' is really miraculous, it has all kinds of things. Your mother used to do it for you to be successful." Ascend to the throne', when you are attacked by the enemy, you have to rush to tell your subordinates that you are dead, and then keep it secret, the difference is too big."

Seeing what he said indifferently, Saenz recalled that even though Li Chen had experienced four worlds, he had never gotten along with the role of "mother"—whether good or bad.Even if it is "father", there is only one adoptive father who treats him like a tool. He is not so much a relative as an enemy.

It seems that most of the people around Lichen start their contacts with the cooperation of interests first, and then talk about whether they can become friends.Others can't have benevolence and righteousness in business, but Li Chen's business is still in the absence of benevolence and righteousness.Saenz even felt that it was precisely because of Li Chen's experience that he did not feel any psychological pressure when he took certain negative actions.

His level of empathy is relatively low, but he still has the ability to pretend to be very empathetic in front of others, so few people find this out.

As for Song Lin, there was no reason to treat Li Chen badly or kindly in the past, and there was no added benefit.And it turned out that most of the "bad" has also become "good".Therefore, it is normal for Li Chen to have a good sense of Song Lin and have an invisible closeness with this teacher.

Saenz pondered, there is nothing wrong with this.It's just that since the two of them still have such a long time, I might as well try my best to let Li Chen feel more warmth from "relatives" and "family".Even if it can't change anything, it can't make up for anything, at least it can give Li Chen some warmth that was rarely seen before.

Saenz thought so, but he didn't mention a word to Li Chen.This kind of subtle influence, Li Chen can just enjoy it silently, but his mind is too clear.

Just like now, the two are sitting in the same office. Although they are working, the atmosphere is warm.

The two chatted casually for a few minutes, and then stopped paying attention to Noah Sen's gossip.Li Chen continued to sift through all the information sent by the intelligence agency, Saenz opened the news interface of the communicator, and projected a summary of recent news.After reading it, Li Chen wanted to forward the messages to Saenz in batches, just swipe across with his finger, without even lifting his head.

But Saenz would sometimes say to him, "Come here."

Li Chen got up and went over, Saenz wrapped his arms around his waist, pulled him down and kissed him.

"Patriarch, I'm at work." Li Chen lowered his face and raised his eyebrows, "That's why you called me here? Is it a cat or a dog for me to decompress at work?"

"What's the relationship between us? What's the matter with me kissing you?" Saenz retorted casually, and then pointed to his three-dimensional display screen, "For this matter, you ask them to discuss the reserve price of the bidding..."

Saenz spoke seriously for a while, Li Chen also listened carefully, and discussed a few words with Saenz.After finishing the work, Li Chen returned to his seat and said, "I have to go to the things that can be said in the seat. The leader tosses people up and down, huh?"

Saenz said with a smile: "In the past, when you reported any documents to me, you always had to deliver the documents to my desk and talk to me. Now you can just move your fingers, and you are used to complaining when you are called. .”

Li Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Saenz had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, I'm used to it, I'm happy, let's go."

Li Chen didn't bother to talk to him, and continued to read his documents.

***

At noon, Saenz and Lichen went to the cafeteria for a routine stroll.

In fact, they don't necessarily have to eat anything. After all, when Li Chen grows up, the way of eating food can also be controlled by one meal for a few days.Even at noon, I was idle anyway, so I slipped in and took a look. It would be nice to have a snack or something, so these two came almost every day.In the beginning, the cafeteria thought that the patriarch and his wife came to check, but after a lot of times, they knew that it was purely wandering.Sometimes Li Chen bought some snacks like jerky, chewed them on the spot, and left. He didn't have the pretensions of a "first lady".

If they didn't come, the two of them would go out for a while, fly to some lake or woods, and release or roast the small animals they caught.Most of the time, Li Chen is responsible for fire control, and Saenz takes care of the rest.The two tossed about with the dragon's powers and magic for 10, [-], and [-] minutes, and finally ate a fish. It can be said that they were purely here for a picnic.

Continue to work in the afternoon, or Li Chen will go to the training ground.Now the martial arts field is not just for old fritters, Jude and other youngsters who have transformed into human form in recent years will also practice human form here.Jude always complained that fighting in the human form is not as convenient as the dragon form, so his father Serrad scolded him, saying that when Li Chen first grew up, fighting in the human form was easier than the dragon form.Jude had no choice but to come for extra training every day.

When Li Chen came, he would sometimes compete with him.Most of the time, Li Chen wins. After all, the skill and physical advantages are there, but occasionally Li Chen will give Jude the upper hand. I don't know if it is intentional or unintentional.

"I won!"

Jude's fist stopped seven or eight centimeters in front of Li Chen's face, and then withdrew his hand: "I was trying to lure you close to hit me first, and then attack you in close quarters. You were deceived by me!"

Li Chen raised his eyebrows, and retracted his right hand that had just been slightly raised as if nothing had happened. He didn't say that the arrow in his sleeve had actually popped out. As long as he tapped his fingers lightly, Harold would have to pierce it.Fist or not, it doesn't matter at all.

Li Chen glanced at the mechanical bee following the filming in mid-air, and felt that when he went back tonight, Serrad and Meera would give this boy a "replay", so he didn't bother to talk about it, let the boy be happy.

After the discussion, Jude will chat with Li Chen: "What have you been up to recently? My mother said that you were the leader in negotiating those trade agreements before, and they were finally signed by the patriarch. Is that true?"

"Really." Li Chen wondered, "Why are you asking this? Are you not interested?"

"I'm not interested. I used to think that you only need to go out with the patriarch to visit and wave your hand to take pictures. It turns out that there are so many troublesome jobs." Jude sighed, "I still want to be a guard or something, I feel like this Keep it simple, just fight."

Li Chen: "Then you are wrong."

"I don't think I'm wrong." Jude said, "For example, the bodyguard next to you and the patriarch when you visit, what else do you do besides separating the crowd? You two can fight better than the bodyguard, and you don't need them to do any work if you want the bodyguard. Purely as a facade."

Li Chen: "...All right."

***

In the evening, Li Chen and Saenz chatted about what Jude said.

"Although we don't need bodyguards, he must have misjudged the work of the guards." Saenz raised his eyebrows, "He should ask what his dad is doing, not what you are doing."

Li Chen said: "He just thinks these tasks are too complicated. He also asked before that if the Dragon Clan did not join the world, would everyone not have to do these things, have you forgotten?"

"Dragon Clan was only hiding from the world at the time, and it wasn't completely isolated from the world. Otherwise, where did these technological equipment come from?" Saenz sneered, "However, when I mentioned that the Dragon Clan entered the world, some people did object that the current situation of the Dragon Clan may not be able to handle it for a while. So much work."

"If you can't handle it, tell other countries to reply later. Anyway, it's not necessarily good to reply early."

"Anyway, it's all adjusted. It will be smoother after you join. There are basically no problems." Saenth said, "There are not many people in the Dragon Clan, so it's not difficult to deal with. Just balance the relationship between the Dragon Clan and the outside world."

"It's easy to say..." Li Chen chuckled, "Okay, okay, I know you are amazing, don't talk about what you have and what you don't have, and ask for praise."

Saenz smiled: "You are willing to deliberately lose to Jude to coax him, so what if you coax me?"

Li Chen: "..."

Adhering to the idea that "no matter how powerful a person needs to be coaxed", Li Chen had no choice but to step forward and hug him, sighing softly: "Of course you are the most powerful, omnipotent, I never doubt it."

"I'm not omnipotent." Saenz clasped his hands behind his waist, "But I'm glad you think so."

Li Chen smiled, leaned forward and kissed him, and Saenz deepened the kiss back.

Another ordinary day passed.
