Chapter 20 "Danger"

Belloberg District, Marginal Passage.

The weather in Beloberg is surprisingly good today. The midday sun shines on the avenues of the administrative district, covering the road with a layer of brilliant gold.

Just like Mrs. Prince's mood at this moment.

"Mom! Mom! Will we be able to see Dad soon?"

Mrs. Prince was holding her daughter's hand as they headed down town.

"Oh, yes, that old man rarely sees me a few times a year. He's always busy with money. This time I'm taking my daughter there to see if he still sees me."

Mrs. Prince started laughing as she spoke. Her husband usually worked in the lower class district and they only saw each other a few times a year. The procedures for entering the lower class district from the upper class district were becoming more and more stringent. This time, it took her a long time to use her connections to find an opportunity to go to the lower class district.

She asked for leave early for her daughter, and brought the old man's favorite sandwich, which she made by herself, a bottle of good wine that cost her half a month's salary, and a peony that she carefully selected from the Changxia flower shop.

"No matter how busy he is, when he sees his beloved daughter, he will probably put down his work and spend some time with her."

"Da da da ~ da ~" The little girl hummed an unknown nursery rhyme and was obviously very excited. In her childhood, her father was always busy and she could only see him once a year. Because of this, she was also very excited.

The warm scene, just like the rare sunny days in Belloberg in a year, makes people not feel cold at all.

It is this sunshine that warms people's hearts that often makes people ignore the cold wind hiding in the dark.

A [Bronze Wall] car sped down the road and rushed towards the mother and daughter in an uncontrollable manner.

It happens in milliseconds.

The mother only had time to push her daughter away from her with all her strength. In another second, the heavy Beloberg car would have knocked the woman away.

Unfortunately, it happened so suddenly that Mrs. Prince was not strong enough to push her daughter out of the danger zone.

If nothing unexpected happens, a human tragedy will occur.

"Unfortunately, what I hate most is tragedy."

With a silent sigh, a figure stood in front of the mother and daughter just before the car was half a body length away.

With incredible hand speed, Yao Luo grabbed the front bumper of the car and lifted it up suddenly.

Like a toy car confiscated by its parents, the upward force caused the entire car to fly into the air, passing over the heads of the mother and daughter and being thrown out.

"Bah!"

The slow sound of the brakes made contact with the ground, leaving a long tire mark on the road.

"what!"

It was not until the situation calmed down that screams from people around began to rang out.

The scene in front of me was truly shocking, just like an ordinary person facing a mad bull, but the person grabbed the bull's horns with one hand and threw the bull away with the other hand.

"It's alright, ma'am."

Mrs. Prince hugged her daughter tightly. The series of events that just happened were beyond her imagination. Broken wine bottles and fallen food baskets were scattered all over the floor.

Amidst all the destruction, only the ball peony remained intact.

"Cocolia, in your upper-class area, do people drive so aggressively?"

Yao Luo looked back at Cocolia, whose face was ashen. The two had just emerged from the train track in the lower area.

Before Yao Luo had the time to fully feel the warm sunshine, a tragedy happened right before his eyes.

If he had not been there, not only would both the mother and daughter have died in the car accident, but the mother would most likely have died.

It seems okay now, just a little frightened.

The out-of-control car finally stopped. Even though the owner was knocked unconscious, he didn't care and quickly got out of the car.

"sorry Sorry sorry!"

The car owner was an ordinary fat man. There was some blood on his forehead, but overall he was fine.

Cocolia was inspecting the situation with the patrol captain who had arrived late, and Yao Luo also took a good look at the upper area himself.

"In terms of the level of civilization, it has basically reached the modern level. Cars, trains, basic electricity, citizens' clothing, and mental outlook are much better than the lower-class areas." Yao Luo looked at the plants and trees on the street and the people around him, but he was not investigating the local customs and practices.

It's about feeling the remaining energy of this city.

Rift Valley Energy.

Quiet and tidy, the situation in the upper district is undoubtedly much better than that in the lower district. At least for now, the city is not in danger of being eroded by the rift, but...

A strong tingling sensation came from the north of Yao Luo. He opened his eyes and looked in that direction.

The buildings in the city were arranged in an orderly manner. Looking forward from this road, with Yao Luo's eyesight, he could see what seemed to be the center of the city, and from there he could look far to the north.

An energy that ordinary people cannot feel but which he has personally experienced is gathering in the north.

The extent of this corrosive force...

"At least ten times more powerful than what I encountered underground..."

The pressure turned into reality and pressed on Yao Luo. The task of sealing the rift was not easy. If he was not careful, Yao Luo himself would be in danger of falling.

"In the worst case scenario, if I am also eroded by the Rift during the sealing process..."

Terrible thoughts emerged in Yao Luo's mind. The degree of erosion in the upper area was more dangerous than he had imagined.

"Let's go, what are you daydreaming about?"

At some point, Cocolia was standing behind Yao Luo and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thinking about something."

Cocolia saw the worry in Yao Luo's eyes at a glance. It was obviously not the car accident that made the man in front of her, who seemed extremely powerful to her, show such an expression.

"Could it be that he already knows..."

The two men had their own thoughts. Yao Luo looked unhappy. Since coming to this planet, nothing has gone well for him. Although he had done many good things within his ability, bad luck seemed to catch up with him wave after wave, making him feel helpless.

"Come on, I'll take you to find someone." Cocolia broke the silence first. No matter what the situation was, she would not give up until she tried.

Before leaving, the mother and daughter thanked Yao Luo politely, and the lady told Yao Luo her daughter's name.

"Beatrice Prince"

Facing this five-year-old little life, Yao Luo seemed to feel better. He could know from this incident that what he did was not useless.

Following Cocolia's footsteps, Yao Luo walked towards the center of Beloberg. The closer he got to the center, the more prosperous the surrounding area became. Perhaps for this city, things like what happened just now would be less common.

"here it is?"

"Perpetual motion" mechanical house.

A store located in the most luxurious area in the center of the city, with gorgeous decoration and a technological appearance. Yao Luo can feel that this is not an ordinary place.

"Cocolia brought me here. What on earth is she planning to do?"

Just as Yao Luo was thinking, another young and beautiful figure walked out of the door of the machinery house.

There was a hint of purple in her platinum hair, and her bohemian musician's clothing showed a rock style. There was no doubt that the person in front of her was also a very beautiful woman like Cocolia.

When this person saw Cocolia, his body suddenly stiffened, as if he had seen something incredible.

"But, Cocolia?"

The man walked quickly forward, looked Cocolia up and down, and then gave her a big hug before Cocolia could react.

Yao Luo couldn't see Cocolia's expression, but from the caring look in her eyes, he could tell that the two of them had a good relationship.

When she hugged Cocolia, she quietly opened her eyes and looked at Yao Luo who was standing behind her, with a playful smile on her face.

"Oh~ Cocolia, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, are you going to secretly look for a man behind my back?"
