But with Ancestral Dragon here, with the evolved Jargon Dragon King here, maybe after a few generations, the Rothschild family really would dare to call themselves that.
Because Old Rothschild had no need to help Asher falsify anything.
Since Old Rothschild stepped out and said it back then, it definitely was just like that.
Einvol didn't say anything, he had a scale in his heart.
Eddy also didn't continue speaking, the two of them just silently walked forward together like this.
Walking and walking...
Eddy noticed that this direction seemed a bit off.
'Hmm? What about the agreed-upon research lab?'
'Isn't teacher supposed to continue working?'
'Why are we heading in the direction of the conference room.'
"Didn't you say that Asher's public lecture video leaked out? Just in time, it's still a bit before noon, let's take a look at how it actually is," Einvol turned his head back, glanced, and instantly understood what Eddy was thinking. He said with a calm expression.
Unexpectedly after Eddy heard his words, he showed a face like he'd seen a ghost.
'Isn't this like seeing a ghost.'
'Since when has Teacher Einvol been so interested in a human?'
The pet evolution research professor that Professor Damien had high hopes for. Sounds like he might actually be a bit impressive.
Why go to the conference room? Of course because the conference room had a super big projection screen, watching videos on it is super awesome.
Speaking quietly, when the teacher wasn't paying attention, Eddy also liked to secretly come with three or five friends to the conference room and use the projector to watch movies.
'That immersive feeling. Super awesome.'
———
As for people discussing him behind his back, Asher didn't care at all.
Mainly because...
"Lately it feels like a lot of people are talking about me, I'm going into seclusion, Uncle Robb don't come looking for me," Asher greeted President Robb as soon as he returned to NY City.
President Robb: "…"
President Robb really wanted to give Asher a pair of big white eyes.
'You brat! How much trouble have you caused me?'
'Don't you have any awareness yourself?'
Asher: (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
President President Robb fell silent again.
Fine then. Thinking about NY City's GDP and development in various aspects, how much convenience was gained because of Asher, these things in front of him that he had to deal with were all things Asher deserved.
Can't blame it all on Asher. And to be honest, Asher should actually count as the one who accidentally got dragged into this.
How can this be said to be Asher's fault?
"Alright then," President Robb waved his hand at Asher quite helplessly, "Go and do the things you want to do well."
"It's just that...", President Robb raised his head to look at Asher, his eyes showing some entanglement and hesitation.
Asher at a glance knew what was going on.
What could he be entangled about, what could he be hesitating about?
Of course because of him wanting to participate in the National Beast Tamer Tournament.
Asher smiled, "Uncle Robb, you know what kind of man I am."
Asher looked at President Robb with a gentle smile, playing an emotional card.
President Robb's expression showed some more emotion.
'If you put it like that... It really seems like there's no problem.'
"From the very beginning, my goal was to become a powerful Beast Tamer, you know that even better."
"But these two years...", As he spoke Asher's expression seemed to darken.
'These two years?'
'What about these two years?'
President Robb looked at Asher's somewhat aggrieved expression, and couldn't help but follow along Asher's words and think.
'What happened these two years?'
Asher researched quite a few new evolution routes for beasts, and shone brightly in this area, NY City also developed very well because of it.
All of this looked very wonderful.
If you ignore Asher's initial goal. Compared to Asher's achievements in pet evolution research, Asher's achievements as a Beast Tamer did indeed not seem very dazzling.
"Sigh!", President Robb let out a long sigh.
"You called me Uncle Robb, I won't try to persuade you anymore," President Robb looked at Asher with emotion and said, "Go then!"
"Next year you must get a good result."
As he spoke President Robb paused again, "At least make it past the preliminaries."
"Otherwise this matter will also hurt your fame and reputation."
This time when President Robb said these words, he really was thinking from Asher's perspective for his sake.
Unlike those other participating Beast Tamers. Asher's even more eye-catching identity tag was still pet evolution research professor, and even a genius-level pet evolution research professor.
Most people, including quite a few Beast Tamers, believed, as long as Asher wanted, and put in good effort on this path, Asher would sooner or later become a national treasure-level pet evolution research professor like Professor Damien.
It was just a matter of sooner or later.
So Asher ran off to participate in the Beast Tamer competition.
It made people feel like he was neglecting his proper work.
Just thinking that Asher might in the near future face all kinds of rejection, doubt, and misunderstanding, President Robb couldn't help but feel aggrieved for Asher.
'Why can't Asher be a Beast Tamer?'
'Is it just because Asher has a bit of talent in one area, so his dream in other areas has to be crushed?'
"Go ahead boldly and confidently," The more he thought about it, the angrier President Robb got, and he had already put himself in the position of being an enemy of the whole world.
He waved his big hand.
President Robb's voice was powerful and resounding.
"Wrote it down, Uncle Robb," Asher looked at President Robb's excited look that had gone to his head, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
'Sigh! This carelessness. Ended up fooling someone so badly.'
'Luckily it is Uncle Robb.'
President Robb probably wouldn't hold it against him.
With President Robb's strong support, ensuring that Asher had no more worries, Asher finally leisurely returned to his own territory.
Watching Asher leave, the people below served President Robb tea, and while drinking tea and correcting documents, as he looked, President Robb suddenly reacted, 'Wait a minute—'
"Did I just get fooled by that little fox?", President Robb smacked his forehead hard.
Recalling his own hot-blooded self just now.
'No need to say more. Definitely got fooled. And fooled so badly at that.'
But even though President Robb had come to his senses, knowing he was fooled by Asher, he still couldn't get angry at Asher.
Don't ask. Ask and the answer is... Asher really was their NY City's big banner.
And even Asher's fooling was so gentle, the kind that made people jump in themselves.
"Clearly two years ago, I still clearly knew that kid was just a little fox, yet over these past two years I instead..."
'Ah!', President Robb let out a long sigh.
What could he do about it?
This wasn't because he let Asher blind his eyes.
Just ask, who could face Asher when he spoke softly and not feel soft-hearted?
President Robb was the first who couldn't.
Thinking back on those things he had thought of just now, the smile that had been on President Robb's face once again faded away and became calm.
He put down the pen in his hand.
His arms propped up, elbows resting on the desk, fingers interlaced supporting his chin, and his facial expression gradually became serious again.
To say it was fooling.
But those thoughts he had at that time, thinking carefully, weren't all just empty talk.
At the very least, that Asher running off to participate in the national Beast Tamer competition would definitely draw discussion and doubt, that was beyond question.
"Looks like I really do have to prepare early," President Robb reached up and rubbed his forehead, feeling an intense headache.
One thing after another kept coming. But what could President Robb do? Work at it.
He definitely couldn't let Asher stumble on this.
Just like Asher said, Asher treated him as an elder, and he also treated Asher as his junior.
There might be interests exchanged and various not entirely sincere elements mixed in.
That didn't stop the fact that the better Asher did, the better NY City's future would be.
Such dealings and interest exchanges actually made their relationship even closer.
———
As soon as Asher returned to the research institute, he was almost surrounded by the crowd that rushed up to him.
"That's about enough," Asher hurriedly released Little Raven and Little Jellyfish.
The two little guys had grown quite a bit in size, and at this time stepping out to help block the crowd was the best move.
Little Raven gave Asher a look.
Little Raven: ╭(╯^╰)╮
'Fine, fine! Who told you to be the bird's Beastmaster?'
'The bird won't blame you for not letting the bird out to beat up that so-called sun.'
'Hmph!'
'There is actually something that dared to call itself the sun in front of me, Big Sis Little Raven?'
Little Raven flapped its wings angrily.
'Don't come near! Not a single one!'
Little Jellyfish also gently waved its tentacles.
The tentacles looked very soft, but no one dared to get close at all.
Don't ask, the answer was just... this color really looked very poisonous.
They all cherished their little lives.
Even Langdon and Lisa looked very excited.
Professor Asher. This was the living Professor Asher.
They had only seen him in videos before.
Now they finally saw him in person.
Sure enough... extraordinary.
Langdon and Lisa looked Asher up and down, if not for their eyes having no killing power, Asher felt like his clothes would have been stripped clean by their gazes.
"You two are the Q siblings, right?", On the way back Asher had already received a message from Sarah.
In this respect Sarah was very reliable. And even if Sarah weren't that reliable, Angel was still very reliable.
Whenever Asher wanted to know any information.
These two could both provide it at the first moment.
Seeing Asher's gaze fall on them, the siblings nodded repeatedly.
Seeing the siblings' look of clear worship and admiration for him, Asher couldn't help but make himself look a bit more proper.
'Ahem! This isn't putting on a show.'
"Since you've come to my research institute, just do what you should do, you won't be treated badly, and you won't be wronged," Asher said gently with a smile, "Those past matters... I also won't say let them just pass, whatever should be done at the time will be done."
Langdon and Lisa nodded excitedly again.
This was just like they thought. Leaving Q City, even the air felt much fresher. No more being tied down and drained like crazy.
But just because they escaped, thinking they wouldn't hold a grudge against Chairman Q? That was impossible.
They wouldn't just hold a grudge, they would hold it to the death.
Definitely wouldn't let Chairman Q off easy.
Didn't expect Asher to say this too, getting his support made the siblings even more excited.
Instantly turned into Asher's little fanboy and fangirl, really not exaggerated at all.
But after just these few words, Asher's gaze shifted to Sarah on the side.
"Sister Sarah, next the institute should just keep going as it has been," As he spoke Asher paused, "Oh right, almost forgot."
Asher took out his phone and tapped a few times, then looked up at Sarah and the others and said, "The evolution routes for Little Moon Fox and the Pure Beauty Qilin Subspecies have been sent to you."
"Take a look."
At these words.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Everyone instantly pulled out their phones.
Each faster than the next.
The unfamiliar Langdon and Lisa siblings also hurriedly fumbled to pull out their phones.
This phone wasn't their personal phone.
It was the work phone specially issued by Asher after entering the institute, couldn't be taken out of the institute.
All work-related content had to be received and sent via the work phone.
But what Asher hadn't told the researchers was.
Because of some special program settings, the phone could only connect to the internal network of the institute.
If someone really took the phone out of the institute and tried to connect to an external network... mm, he would get the notification at the first moment.
As for what special program, and how Asher could know at the first moment. Just some basic application methods of mechanical-type pet beasts.
Let alone Angel's high-level status within the internal network, this little trick could still be done easily.
"For the next half year or so, what you need to do is prove these two evolution routes," Seeing everyone checking the files on their phones, Asher said with a smile.
Announcing their next work task.
"Little Moon Fox's evolution route is a bit easier to prove, Little Sun's will be relatively more troublesome."
The Pure Beauty Qilin Subspecies... if not because Asher wanted to participate in next year's national Beast Tamer competition, actually Asher was quite interested in this pet beast.
From "Sun" evolving to "Qilin Subspecies"?
It really was kind of interesting.
Others might not understand the name Asher gave to Little Sun's evolved form.
They just simply thought, because it looked good, and looked a bit like a qilin but actually wasn't, so it was called subspecies.
But to Asher it wasn't like that.
He named it like this purely because that was what the panel called it.
And Asher was someone who feared trouble and sometimes liked to be a bit lazy.
So he just used it directly.
Change the name?
No need.
