"There’s another matter related to the investigation you carried out last time." He spoke while adding food to her bowl.

"Hmm?"

Just as Milton White was about to speak, Chloe Collins’s phone suddenly vibrated.

Both saw the name displayed on the screen: Alex.

Milton White looked down, not uttering a word.

Chloe Collins took the call.

"There’s been progress with the robot research. Can you come over if you’re free?"

"Sure, I’ll be there in a moment."

"I’m coming to pick you up, I’ll be there in three minutes."

Chloe Collins: "(⊙o⊙)..."

"Alright."

After hanging up, she looked at Milton White, "Alex took two of the previous robots, both undamaged. He said there’s been a development, and he’ll be here shortly."

Milton White responded with a half-smile, "What a coincidence."

"What were you saying earlier?" Chloe Collins asked.

Milton White put down his chopsticks and slowly said, "The reason why these robots can’t be mass-produced is that some of the materials used are very scarce. The central chip in the control system is made from a meteorite crystal extract."

"A meteorite?"

"Yes, oddly enough, the meteorite fell near Aunt Joy’s old lab. I also heard that the raw material for this chip was provided by an external source and not developed by Blue Power Enterprise."

Chloe Collins put down her spoon, "You suspect that the drugs are related to this meteorite?"

"Exactly. I’ve looked into the meteorite incident. Many strange things reportedly happened among the residents in the half-year after the meteorite fell. However, all these incidents seem to have been covered up and turned into myths. There’s no evidence, so it needs further investigation."

As his words dropped, the sound of a car stopping could be heard from outside.

Eight-01’s voice was heard: "Identify yourself!"

Chloe Collins smiled at this and got up to leave.

Milton White watched her cheerful footsteps, and a touch of melancholy flashed in his eyes.

Outside the door.

Eight-01 blocked Alexander Foster’s way until Chloe Collins came out, then he stepped aside.

Alex looked at him, assessing, "Where did this robot come from?"

"That keen of sight? It was a gift from my senior brother."

Upon hearing this, the robot processed the information and then addressed Alex: "Hello, guest, I am the butler of Miss Chloe Collins, Eight-01."

The voice was that of a simulated man, steady, as if in middle age, but if you paid close attention, you could detect some stiffness.

The difference was like that between machine-printed letters and handwriting.

Milton White came to the door.

The two men’s gaze met over Chloe Collins’s head. Neither spoke.

"Let’s go inside." Chloe Collins suggested.

The two men nodded and silently walked in.

Chloe Collins sat between them and briefed Alex on Milton White’s discovery.

Milton White frowned, "Eleven, why do you share everything with outsiders?"

Alex: "Chlo-Chlo, don’t invite guests with poor eyesight into the house again."

The two men made eye contact, their gaze full of brewing confrontation.

Chloe Collins: "..."

She added a chicken leg to each of their bowls and asked Alex, "So, what was your discovery?"

Alex looked at the white chicken leg in his bowl and then at Milton White’s. The chicken leg in his bowl was a whole size larger.

Milton White smirked, picked up the chicken leg, and took a bite.

Alex didn’t touch it, and said, "Chlo-Chlo, my hands are tied."

Both his hands were holding his phone, seemingly typing.
