Chapter 122, Section 121: Poor Raeder (Fourth Update)
"Grandma, that's not the point. The point is, don't let random strangers in."
Jiang Yu pointed to Redel by the kotatsu table. It seemed that the TV show didn't have any ill intentions towards the old lady, but who can say for sure what the reality is?
"Ah Yu, this child's name is Redel. He said he's really too cold, we can't let him freeze outside."
Wearing such strange clothes definitely won't keep you warm, and neither will you, Ayu. Just remember to bring some clothes later, so you don't get cold.
Under the chandelier, the old woman glanced at Redel, who was still shivering by the fireplace, and sighed helplessly.
What's wrong with these kids? They take advantage of their young age and don't cherish their bodies.
"Grandma, he wasn't dressed in strange clothes."
Jiang Yu was speechless, touching the bronze divine light staff in his hand.
Even on Earth during his time, no one would wear such outlandish clothes; they would suffocate.
"Alright, Lucia, you go with Grandma to the kitchen. I'll have a word with Mr. Redel."
After Jiang Yu finished speaking, Lucia obediently led the old woman to the kitchen.
The old woman didn't say anything, she just told us not to fight.
When Jiang Yu first came to her rescue, he almost threw her into the river.
"Tell me, Mr. Redell, what brings you to Grandma?"
Because Redel was in a weakened state at night and had no ability to grow to gigantic size, Jiang Yu wasn't too wary and simply held the Bronze Divine Light Staff behind his back.
If things go wrong, he can transform and leave with Redel in a perfectly reasonable way.
This is the home where Grandma has lived for almost her entire life; it can't be destroyed.
Under the chandelier, because the distance was too close, Redel subconsciously stepped back a little, trying to reduce the sense of danger in his heart.
I don't know why, but I always felt that the young man in front of me was about to explode at any moment.
"Hello, I am Redel from Star Standel—Abobas and I came to Earth to capture combat slaves, but I have given up now."
Through telepathy, Redel recounted the general events clearly and tried his best to extend goodwill.
"They're treating Earthlings like slaves again. It's infuriating to hear that."
Jiang Yu's eyes held a hint of anger, but his calm demeanor only made Redel more uneasy.
This guy, whose origins are unknown, seems to care a lot about Earthlings.
It's not going to die here today, is it?
Just as Redell was contemplating whether to exhaust his last bit of energy and try to escape, Jiang Yu continued slowly, "I don't care whether you're sincere or not, but seeing that you're being relatively friendly, I can give you a chance."
"Please feel free to tell me, and I will do my best to do it."
The sense of crisis receded like a tide, and Redel hurriedly made assurances.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Luckily, the man in front of me named Jiang Yu seems quite easy to talk to.
"You shouldn't stay here, Grandma. If you get targeted by Abbas, it could make Grandma unsafe."
Jiang Yu frowned and said that Obik closes quite late and cannot keep an eye on the old lady's condition all the time.
If Abobas were to take advantage of the lull and make a move on the old woman, Jiang Yu would have one more thing to do.
He adapted to Tiga's power very quickly and could already control it at will.
If we're going to operate in outer space, with Raeder's guidance, we should be able to wipe out the Abbas race while it's daytime on Standel.
Of course, that only applies if something actually happens.
Who would want to travel an unknown distance to kill unless forced to?
"It's alright, I'll follow the instructions."
Raeder really wanted to say that Abbas was too busy capturing combat slaves to care about him, but in the end he kept quiet.
If something unexpected happens, he's probably doomed.
"Yes, I will inform the Victory Team tonight and have them begin their investigation."
"If possible, do you have any way to directly confirm the location of the Abbas spacecraft?"
Jiang Yu looked at Redel with some anticipation. Putting aside the needs of the TV plot, as an archenemy race, they would surely have developed some countermeasures, right?
"Um, it used to be there. But—"
Redel's stammering made Jiang Yu, who had just shown a look of joy, instantly displeased, and he slammed his hand on the table.
"What do you mean 'it used to be there but isn't now'? I see you're a grown man, why are you acting like a girl?"
The loud noise caught the attention of the old woman in the kitchen, and the sound of her stir-frying stopped.
"Ah Yu, you can't use violence."
"Okay, Grandma."
Jiang Yu responded softly, but his gaze toward Redell grew increasingly dangerous.
It's all this guy's fault —
"Abbas and I arrived on Earth at almost the same time, right at night. He took advantage of his superior strength and shot down my spaceship."
Later, after confirming that I didn't have a spaceship to return, he stopped worrying about me and focused on capturing humans.
Redel's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible; he knew his experience was shameful.
Jiang Yu was speechless. He had completely lost the desire to take out the Bronze Divine Light Staff and teach it a lesson.
With such bad luck, it's no wonder he later had to team up with the Victory Team to kill Abbas; it turns out his means of transportation home was destroyed.
It's shameful, utterly shameful.
"Ah Yu, stop looking so grumpy, let's eat first."
The old woman brought a bowl of Mapo Tofu to the table, glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and whispered something in Jiang Yu's ear.
"Ah Yu, you know what, this girlfriend you found is definitely better than the last one."
She's not very talkative, but she's very hardworking. Grandma took a look at her, and she seems quite fertile.
"Grandma, she really isn't like that—"
Jiang Yu didn't know how to defend himself anymore; the old man seemed unable to listen to anything.
It's pitiful that he has remained chaste to this day, but in the old woman's eyes, he has already had at least two relationships. She's heartbroken.
I should have let Lucia eat instant noodles at home instead of bringing them over.
"Sigh, no need to say anything, Grandma understands. Let's eat first, or the food will get cold."
Today's dishes are all made according to your favorite foods.
The old woman's "I understand you" expression rendered Jiang Yu speechless.
May people stop making assumptions, especially older generations.
Redel watched silently, feeling his condition inexplicably improve.
If everyone on Standal could live like that, perhaps there wouldn't be any difference between day and night.
After dinner, Jiang Yu led Lucia to say goodbye to the old woman, with Redel following behind, trembling.
"Ah Yu, you can't use violence. Remember to explain things properly to Redel."
The old woman emphasized again, and Jiang Yu responded by saying, "Don't worry, Grandma, Redel just can't find his way home. I'll have a friend from the Victory team take him home. You should get some rest."
"Okay, then I'm relieved. Be careful on your way back."
The old woman closed her door. There were few pedestrians around. Jiang Yu teleported back to his residence with Redel and Lucia.
