d to avoid complications. As I'm not the original person, I can't reciprocate his feelings. I tried to steer him away from this pitfall, but he still chose the most difficult path! That's why after I..."Young master, where are you going"

The old butler asked anxiously.

I'm going to stay at my grandfather's house for a few days.

Ripple finished speaking softly, and the hovercar's doors slowly descended. The hovercar then started up.

At the moment of activation, with a deafening roar, a blinding white light fell upon the General's Mansion, instantly turning it into rubble. Immediately after, the sound of an alarm pierced the sky.

The blast sent a wave of force that nearly flipped the hovercar over. The driver instinctively deactivated auto-control and manually steered the hovercar away from the explosion's epicenter, the car's alarm blaring. Almost simultaneously, alarms sounded throughout the entire area.

"Reporting to Imperial Center, General Wu's residence in the core district has been attacked! Repeat, General Wu's residence in the core district has been attacked!"

General Du's guards immediately contacted the Imperial Center, and armored troops were rapidly being deployed to this location.

Ripples and General Du Lao were only slightly affected by the shockwave of the explosion when it hit their hovering vehicle. It shook them up a bit, but they quickly regained their balance.

General Du's levitating car is no ordinary levitating car; it boasts the highest safety rating currently in the United Empire. Unexpectedly, for a simple trip to pick up his grandson today, it activated the top-tier security protocols.

When the entire general's mansion disappeared from sight, Lian Ri closed her external vision function and whispered to her grandfather:

"Grandpa, I made it!"

General Du, upon hearing this, suddenly turned his head to look at Lian Yi, whose expression remained calm. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"I can't explain now, I'll tell you everything once we're safe. Please help me clean up, erase any traces Ian, my AI, left behind."

The ripples continued to explain.

"Good!"

General Du knew the urgency of the situation and immediately sent a command from his own AI. Then, the elder and the younger both fell silent as they walked together.

At this time, Wu Yishan's video call also came through, and Lianyi answered it.

"Lian Yi, where are you now Is everything okay"

You can hear the urgency in the tone.

"Father, when the explosion happened, I was already in my grandfather's car. We had planned to visit them today."

Liàn Yī wrinkled her brow and said.

Then the video was turned towards General Du.

"As for moving mountains, before we figure things out, Lian Yi can stay at my place first. I'll ensure his safety."

Old General Du rarely spoke with such seriousness.

"Thank you, General Du. I'll leave this to you."

Then the other party hung up the video call.

When the levitating vehicle landed, Lian Ri saw before her an ancient and imposing General's Mansion. Only the residences of the five Generals who unified the Imperial Empire could be called a mansion.

There was already a crowd gathered at the door. As soon as General Du got out of his car, they all rushed over to him.

"Father, are you alright"

"Grandfather, are you hurt"

"General, should we raise the defense level"

"

Lian'er watched the old general surrounded by people, her lips twitching. It seemed like no one had noticed her presence.

"Alright, everyone settle down, stop talking over each other. He can't hear you anyway."

In the end, it was still the old lady who personally took charge to calm the situation down. She stepped forward two steps first to check on her own husband, and then looked at Lian Yi standing beside the hovercar.

"Lian Yi, come here!"

The ripple politely stepped forward and greeted:

"Hello, grandma!"

Wasn't anything scary about today's events

The old woman inquired with loving concern.

"No, I'm with my grandfather, not afraid at all!"

"That's great!"

The old man immediately turned his head and said to the people around him:

"This is Lian Yi. Because General Wu's mansion encountered an incident, he will be staying here for a while. You all have plenty of time to get to know each other. Let him rest and adjust first."

"Okay, Mother!"

"Grandma, please rest assured that we won't disturb Li-yi."

"Madam, Young Master Lian's residence has been arranged. I will take him there now."

The middle-aged butler stepped forward.

"Lian Yi, come to the study with me and have lunch together. You guys can get back to work."

The old general settled the chaos with a single decisive hammer blow. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

R ripples smiled faintly and nodded to each person greeting the old general before following General Du into his study.

The old matriarch followed in as well. She could see that her husband's face was off, even though others couldn't tell. She saw it at once.

After both elders were seated, General Du spoke first:

"Lien Yi, why did you do this"

The elderly woman standing nearby was utterly confused and blurted out:

"What did Lian Yi do"

It was he who destroyed Wu Yishan's General's Mansion.

"Huh"

The old madam's face was full of surprise, and she looked at Lian Yi and asked:

"Child, do you know what you're doing"

"I know! There's no point in having a home without a mother. I won't leave the mansion to that mother and child."

"You don't have to go that far!"

"Here it is, this is a farewell to myself from the past sixteen years."

The ripples did not change their color as they spoke.

"You, child"

The two felt that the ripples were a bit too extreme and that what he did was inappropriate.

Liàn Yī knew the two elders' worries and spoke directly:

"Grandfather, Grandmother, I'm doing this not only for myself, but also for my mother, and even more so to take revenge on Wu Yishan! It was he who single-handedly turned me into a useless person!"

With my mother and father's genes, do you think I would be born with such a useless physique

Upon hearing the ripples' words, the two elders exchanged a glance, their eyes sharpening.

"Child, what have you learned"

The old madam spoke first.

Her own daughter knew best, Du Yi was only weak-bodied and unsuitable for the military. He had no genetic defects himself, and logically, he shouldn't have given birth to a child with both low mental and physical abilities. She had once been puzzled by this.

It's a pity that the aptitude test ended so long ago, and the child's ancient martial arts level has remained at Level 1. She had given up hope, but now looking at Lian Yi's reaction, it seems there is something else going on.

"It was discovered by me accidentally."

After Ripple finished speaking, he took out a piece of purplish-blue stone the size of an adult's fist from the storage space. Holding the stone in his right hand, under the watchful eyes of the two elders, he effortlessly crushed it into powder.

This action caused General Du to stand up directly. That was the hardest purple-blue stone currently existing in the United Empire, and it was the only choice for making mecha shells. This kind of stone had to be cut with special equipment, and he saw for the first time someone who could crush this material with their bare hands.

Ripple got up and directly handed the remaining scraps in her hand to General Du, so he could distinguish between true and false.

On this plane, the power of ripples is unconstrained, capable of feats such as splitting mountains and rivers with bare hands.

Then, Madam Du reached out and took Ruo Yi's hand. She pulled out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the small pebbles from his palm. Looking at his undamaged, smooth, unblemished fingers that weren't even slightly red or swollen, she confirmed that the child had not lied.

Old General Du's brain has also been tested, this is indeed amethyst for manufacturing mechas.

Grandfather, Grandmother, can we talk properly I also have many questions about my mother in my heart.pples said faintly."Hmph! Their goal is nothing but sonic weapons. Isn't your mission to take the weapon and silence us all"The man continued.Ripple raised an eyebrow, slowly put down her hand, and sa...
