Chapter 621: Chapter 585: Ordinary people’s countermeasures, we’re all the same (1 more)

"Chloe and I are just having an academic exchange in our research, and we don’t have any deep personal connections. As for the nature of your relationship with him, whether it’s good or bad, it has nothing to do with me directly. You won’t deny me because of this, Chloe Stephens, will you? I’m very interested in your achievements and don’t want to be disliked by you because of this."

Angelina Gregory made it clear that she had no deeper connection with Tristan Keller than their commitment to the research.

Chloe Stephens nodded, but said nothing more to her.

Feeling Chloe’s exclusion, Angelina couldn’t help but frown.

She thought that Chloe’s emotional displacement was somewhat childish.

Chloe was not displacing her emotions; she just felt it unnecessary to have more contact with Angelina.

The Aerospace Institute had already pledged to give the authority what they wanted.

And they were still in the Imperial Capital, which made it very likely that they were interested in the technology they possessed.

Durign this time in the Imperial Capital, Matthew Patterson had not revealed any technical information to them.

"We have a gathering at noon on our side. You and Master Campbell can come along with Professor Angelina," Matthew Patterson suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two girls with a smile.

"Alright," Angelina agreed readily.

Chloe remained silent, defaulting to Matthew Patterson’s arrangement.

*

The Aerospace Institute’s own gathering was not elaborate, just a regular large cafeteria with added dishes.

Only because today Matthew and other higher-ups attended, the kitchen added a few decent dishes to the menu.

Joshua Taylor took the opportunity to approach Chloe, "Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? My great grandfather asked me to take care of you whenever I have the chance."

Although he didn’t know the relationship between Chloe and Evan Taylor, Evan’s order for him to treat her respectfully must mean she had a powerful background.

Chloe glanced at him, apparently saying,

She didn’t need anyone to take care of her.

Joshua explained, "Of course, I don’t mean that kind of care, just some help with daily life issues!"

Evan told Joshua that Chloe was shy and generally didn’t like to deal with trivial matters herself.

Of course.

Joshua wasn’t blind either and could see that Chloe didn’t care.

It was like she was a venerable ancestor, and there was no need to pay attention to him playing the fool in front of her.

"Just mind your own business."

"Oh."

Joshua glanced at Angelina in front and approached her again, whispering to Chloe, "You know, this woman with a weird name is quite close to that Tristan Keller guy from the research institute. I’ve seen them laughing and talking together from a distance several times."

Chloe glanced at him.

"Really," Joshua assured her, "I even took photos, do you want to see them?"

"No need."

"Do you like that Tristan Keller guy?" Joshua hesitated for a long time before asking.

Chloe gave him a look as if he was an idiot.

Joshua instantly understood that he had made a mistake.

At mealtime, Angelina deliberately sat across from Chloe.

"Chloe, I heard from Mr. Patterson that you will attend the Godfrey Family Banquet. At that time, we can see the robot you’ve created," Angelina said with anticipation.

Chloe’s participation in the Godfrey Family Banquet was not kept secret. Matthew Patterson also intended to expose Chloe to the whole world, so he promoted Chloe’s abilities in larger circles.

As long as there was an opportunity to show off, Matthew would strive for it on Chloe’s behalf.

Such a good researcher needed publicity!

It was best to let the whole world see this outstanding genius!

"With your abilities, you can also create such robots. There’s no need to visit the Imperial Capital Aerospace Academy."

Chloe believed that behind the scenes, the X Province Technology Institute was certainly researching these items.

Angelina said, "We have a higher regard for the robots in the hands of the Imperial Capital Aerospace Academy. The technology we have mastered has not yet reached Mr. Patterson’s level. There are many things we need to learn."

"So you’re trying to dig information from Tristan Keller."

"...Why are we talking about him again? I thought you didn’t like hearing about him."

"I don’t."

"Then why..." Angelina was a little confused.

Chloe looked at Angelina, "You are an ancient martial artist."

"I am," Angelina checked Chloe’s background and knew she was from the Stephens Family in Sheffield City. Although Chloe had no cultivation in ancient martial arts, she knew about the existence of ancient martial artists, so she admitted it had no issues.

"He is not someone you can touch."

Chloe’s gaze was cold.

Angelina frowned, "He’s not an ancient martial artist."

"Indeed, he is not."

With that said, Chloe stopped talking.

No matter how much Angelina asked, she couldn’t get a response.

Angelina’s curiosity was piqued.

What was so special about Tristan?

*

At 10:30 at night.

A quiet section of the Research Institute.

With some disguise, Angelina hid herself in the shadows and watched Tristan walking by.

Although Tristan didn’t possess cultivation, his perception was exceptionally strong.

Angelina hid in the darkness, but he sensed her presence instantly.

She couldn’t help but marvel.

Could ordinary people be so sensitive too?

To perceive the presence of an ancient martial artist.

Was this what Chloe was referring to?

Angelina observed Tristan for a while but eventually decided to attack.

She sprang from the shadows, Tristan reacted immediately, his fists and sweeping kicks swift and precise!

Angelina discovered her ancient martial skills were useless against him. She was shocked and couldn’t react in time. Tristan’s powerful punch made her see stars.

She collapsed heavily to the ground, and before she could get up, Tristan mercilessly attacked again.

She was completely unable to defend herself.

In the past, Angelina relied on her cultivation when facing opponents. Now, without it, she was like an ordinary person, fighting with melee combat!

She gritted her teeth and suddenly changed her defense.

Seeing her lightning-fast counterattack, Tristan realized that she was likely from the border defense team.

Her counterattack speed was very swift and carried the air of a military-trained fighter.

Chloe, hidden away, watched this scene unfold.

Angelina, originally from the military, adapted when she abandoned ancient martial arts for melee combat techniques.

In a few exchanges, the two were evenly matched.

As they fought, Chloe occasionally surveyed the surroundings.

She tried to locate that elusive figure.

Apart from the two fighting on the street, she didn’t sense any unusual presence.

But she guessed that the other party was lurking in the shadows, watching their every move.

Angelina injured Tristan with a kick and then left in a chosen direction.

Tristan furrowed his eyebrows, staring at the shadows for a long time before finally turning around and heading home.

Chloe emerged from the shadows, her dark eyes impenetrable.

Returning to the small manor, she entered and saw Len Hawthorne sitting under the courtyard lamp, studying materials and scribbling notes with a pen, his handsome brows furrowed.

"Little Chloe, were you hiding from elder brother all day?"

Len Hawthorne set down his pen and materials and stood up.

His tall stature cast a shadow over her, and a cool scent mixed with a faint smell of tobacco wafted into her nose.

Chloe puzzled, "Hiding from you?"

"You looked so shy yesterday, and you ran away as soon as you saw elder brother this morning. Are you blushing?"

"..."

Len Hawthorne felt the need to comfort the thin-skinned little girl, "There’s nothing to be embarrassed about, elder brother can be shy too, we’re the same."

"..."

She actually wasn’t blushing at all.
