Chapter 107 Mr. Richard, please come home and help your grandson build his empire.
Half an hour later, a large pot was lit in the camp, and the laborers began to cook for themselves.
As the aroma of food wafted out, they were all ravenous and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The camp had plenty of supplies, but these people were never full, and they even ate leftovers left by the mercenaries.
Ji Haobo and his group had been traveling all night and hadn't eaten breakfast this morning, so they were also starving.
"Laura, eat slowly. This meat is very nutritious; you shouldn't eat too much at once."
Ji Haobo knew she hadn't eaten much these past few days, so he handed her a bowl of meat.
At this moment, Ah Ning, who was standing next to him, saw that he had called Laura first, and immediately became jealous and pouted coquettishly:
"Bo Da, I haven't had one yet, could you get me one too?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Mao Mao chimed in with "whimpering" and held out a bowl.
"Oh! Okay, my little darlings!"
Ji Haobo's attentive manner gave the people next to him goosebumps.
After everyone had finished preparing the meat, and a bowl was brought to Lu Ren, Ji Haobo finally looked at Laura, who was enjoying the delicious food:
"Why don't you invite Mr. Richard out for a bite?"
Why call him?
Laura didn't care how he knew her father was on the island; instead, she calmly asked him a question instead of answering.
Ji Haobo was slightly taken aback by her appearance. Before he could ask what was going on, a scruffy-bearded figure jumped out from behind a tent not far away.
"Oh... Laura, your words hurt Dad so much. You only care about eating your delicious stew and don't care about your hungry old father."
Seeing the sudden appearance of the person, apart from Lao Hu and others being somewhat surprised, Ji Haobo and Zhang Menzi were not surprised, as they had already noticed Richard's hiding place.
"Weren't you afraid of being discovered and planning to continue eating seafood and tree roots in secret?"
Faced with Laura's mockery, Richard awkwardly shrugged and spread his hands.
"Alright! Alright! That's because Dad didn't know you had such a powerful friend, otherwise he would have definitely rushed out and beaten Vogel to a pulp."
Ji Haobo neither confirmed nor denied his boasting, and handed him a bowl of meat.
"Hey... Mr. Richard, you're not going to get a chance to fight Vogel, but when you get back this time, I hope you'll take care of that mistress of your company. She's one of the heads of Trinity."
And Mr. Richard, it would be best if you stayed home and managed the company properly, instead of going out and acting like a caveman. Otherwise, you'll be leaving others to clean up your mess, which isn't a good thing.”
Ji Haobo's blunt teasing made Richard blush. He was both shocked and extremely embarrassed, but he still stubbornly replied:
"I heard Laura call you Bo, so I'll call you that too. I didn't expect that an Easterner like you would know about Trinity. And the news about you is quite a surprise to me."
However, it's impossible for me to go home and manage the company. You should also know that Trinity is a powerful and evil organization.
They've been searching for supernatural powers in an attempt to control the world, and we must stand up and stop them…
He was about to continue speaking passionately and rambling on, but Ji Haobo interrupted him without any politeness:
"So, Mr. Richard, you intend to continue protesting against them as a primitive man?"
"puff"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
When everyone heard his blunt rebuke of Richard, and saw Richard's embarrassed and red face, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hey... Bo, isn't this what you guys are here for? You'll help me when Trinity people show up, right?"
"Of course...no!"
Seeing Richard's dejected expression, Ji Haobo shrugged.
"It's best for you to go home and manage the company, since it's going to be inherited by my son in the future."
Don't you think about making up for what you owe Laura by having your grandson?
Or do you want him to end up like Lara, delivering takeout and living a life of hardship?
Upon hearing his words, Richard suddenly lost interest in the meat in his hand and looked at Laura with a face full of guilt.
He never imagined that his departure would leave Laura, a child who had never had a mother, without a father, and in such dire straits.
Richard's eyes welled up with tears as he recalled these memories, and it took him a long time to manage to utter a single sentence.
"Alright! Alright! I'll do as you say, but before that, let's deal with Queen Himiko, who's buried on this island."
"As you wish, let this be Mr. Richard's last archaeological expedition."
Ji Haobo shrugged, then tapped his bowl against Richard's, smiling broadly, and said:
"Come on, finish this bowl of meat, go back to work hard, and earn more money for my future son."
Richard was a little confused, feeling that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Old Hu and the others nearby were almost laughing to tears. Only Ji Haobo could come up with such a plan: arranging for his foreign father-in-law to make money for his nonexistent son.
After finishing his meal, Richard lay down on a folding chair to rest, feeling more relaxed than he had in many years.
"Bo, are you short of money?"
Ji Haobo, who was playing with the white furry dog beside him, replied without looking up:
"I don't lack it! But the money I have is mine, it has nothing to do with my future son. If he wants money, he can earn it himself. After all, I'm not like you, needing to pay off debts."
This immediately killed the conversation, and Richard chuckled awkwardly before quickly changing the subject.
"Bo, what exactly is that thing you're holding? A child who has reverted to primal traits?"
Not only was he curious, but Laura was too. In fact, she had long noticed that Bai Mao Mao was unusual. Although he could only make "yingyingying" sounds, he could understand what Ji Haobo was saying.
At first, I was busy fighting those mercenaries, and then there were other things that happened, so I didn't have time to ask. Now I quickly turned around and pricked up my ears to listen.
Seeing that the father and daughter were very curious, Ji Haobo smiled and rubbed the little white hair on its head, then introduced it to them.
"It's called White Hairy. If we explain it in our Eastern language, you might not understand."
But according to Western understanding, you can think of it as something similar to Cain.
"hiss…"
The father and daughter gasped in shock at his words, staring wide-eyed at the white furry boy, exclaiming in unison in disbelief:
"Cain... the progenitor of vampires? So this child is a zombie?"
Ji Haobo waved his hand, knowing that they might have heard some things, but probably not much.
"In the mysterious realm of our East, people can come back to life under certain circumstances after they die;
But this is no longer the person he was in life; he is now a ferocious and bloodthirsty demon, what you just called a zombie.
But the relationship between the zombie and the white-haired man is like that between the vampire and Cain—they are similar yet different.
This kind of being is called a drought demon, and it is no longer a zombie;
Because it possesses divinity, it is a ferocious god in mythology, whose appearance will cause widespread devastation.
His explanation shocked the father and daughter even more, making them almost doubt their ears.
If they hadn't noticed the expression on each other's faces, they would have thought they had misheard.
