Everyone had their own thoughts about this meal.

Roy, in particular, had already thought about the reasons why he remained a bachelor until his death. He didn't want to cause any trouble for himself.

[Roy: System, you said I will really die in five years? ]

[System: I am a system, not a charlatan. Your question is a bit tricky. As long as this system is here, even if you die, I will let you kick the coffin lid and get up.]

[Roy: With your words, I feel relieved. I won’t be so lonely in the end times.]

When Roy got home, he saw his grandmother warming herself by the charcoal brazier in the living room. When she saw him coming back, she smiled and nodded. Even though she was wearing heavy clothes, she was still dignified and elegant. "Your grandfather is waiting for you in the study."

"Oh, okay, grandma, there's food in the kitchen, you don't have to be too tight."

After Roy finished speaking, he went upstairs to the study, where an old man in a military coat was sitting upright on a chair with a notebook on the desk.

"Xiao Yi, you're back."

"Grandpa, you're looking for me?" Roy didn't know what he wanted to talk to him about. He and his grandparents were not close, but after all, they had never treated him unfairly, either in terms of resources or money.

Otherwise he would not be able to live the life of a rich young master in the upper class. He is a self-aware man.

"Well, kid, come here." Luo Hongyun called Roy over and sat him on the chair next to him. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "I have never considered you a descendant of the Luo family, and I never thought that you would come to us after the end of the world."

"I know, but I enjoyed the Luo family's resources, and you just ignored it and didn't harm me. If Grandpa wanted me to die, I wouldn't live to adulthood."

When Roy faced Luo Hongyun, he did not show any fear or flattery like a junior, nor did he try hard to show himself even though he was obviously nervous.

On the contrary, he was very calm. As long as he didn't cause trouble for his family, he would just muddle through, not stand out, and not cause trouble for himself.

"You are more insightful than all the descendants of the Luo family. It's a pity that your mother is a love-brained person." Luo Hongyun's tone was mixed with emotion and relief.

Roy didn't know whether he was talking about his biological mother or his adoptive mother, but this much was true, both of them were love-brained.

"She just met the wrong person." He always thought that his adoptive mother was blind. Why would she fall for such a bad guy? It was as if she was possessed by a poison.

With Luo's strength, it would be too easy to make a foreign man who had nothing to do except his face disappear.

"It's good that she's gone. If she's gone, she won't have to suffer in the end times. It's a pity for your brother. I can see that you really treat him as your brother."

"Yes, my mother and brother are very good to me. They treat me as a human being." Roy said in a very calm tone. There were not many people who were good to him. That mother and son could be regarded as the only people in the world who were good to him.

"You don't have to blame yourself. Your mother is a person who would never abandon your father. If she were alive, she would harm your brother. Your brother was taught so well. It's worth it to exchange their lives for yours."

"I trained your brother as one of the heirs, haha, but he doesn't look like me at all. On the contrary, you, a child without Luo's bloodline, are the most like me. It's really unexpected."

“Seeing you is like seeing myself when I was young.”

Roy didn't respond, but sat quietly and listened.

Luo Hongyun took out a ring and handed it to Roy. The three crows carved on the ring were exquisite and lifelike. Roy looked at the elderly man in confusion, "Grandpa, what is this?"

"Proof of the Luo family's identity," Luo Hongyun waved his hand before he could make a move. "Take it. It's the end of the world now. There's no such thing as a family. It's just an object that can't be eaten or drunk. Your grandmother and I are already eighty years old and won't live for many more days."

"This is the location of the supplies I sorted out," a notebook was pushed in front of Roy, "I have talked to the base commander of Guishan Base. I gave them 30% of the money and asked them to send us two old guys to Suzaku Base."

"These are for you. People can no longer be trusted. You are a space-capable person. As long as you find an opportunity, these things can keep you worry-free for the rest of your life."

"Among them are gold mines, grain, salt...all kinds of supplies. Now in the end times, everyone is looking for grain and will ignore gold. Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times, and grain in the end times. This is an eternal truth."

“I don’t know if the apocalypse will ever end, but if it does, gold will be your capital for survival.”

"You will understand these without my reminding you. You are a smart child, not like those stupid kids at home who need to be told clearly so that they can understand."

"Grandpa, are you and grandma going to leave? The journey to Suzaku Base is long and dangerous. Even if you and grandma stay here, I can ensure that you can spend your old age in peace."

Roy didn't quite understand what they did, but for the sake of his mother and brother, he would take care of the two elderly people until the end of their lives.

Luo Hongyun stood up with the help of a cane, feeling more relaxed than ever before. He had to ensure the glory of the Luo family, and also beware of the schemes of his brothers and relatives. As he got older, his children also coveted his position.

It's not that he is unwilling to give up his position, but this group of idiots will cause the Luo family to decline.

He has devoted his entire life to his family. Now that he has put the burden down, he feels relieved.

"Roy, I haven't taught you anything, but I hope that what I said today can be useful to you someday. The continuation of a family or a group cannot be achieved by a group of people getting together. It requires a leader, and this leader must be a wolf in sheep's clothing."

"If necessary, eat the sheep in the flock, or let yourself become the sheep to be eaten."

After saying that, Luo Hongyun patted Roy on the shoulder and left the study.

Roy lowered his head and whispered, "They are already this old, why bother? Let them fight among themselves. Those who survive may not be the smartest, but they are definitely not fools."

Li Hanhai was also happy for getting the unexpected fortune. Who could have thought that those aristocratic families could still have such a strong foundation in the last days.

However, he values ​​loyalty the most, so he would definitely do what he promised and reveal the news to the Luo family at the Suzaku base.

Their old man will definitely come to pick them up at the Guishan Base. I never expected that the children of these big families don’t even know how many industries their families are involved in.

Compared with these big families that have existed for thousands of years, I am just like an ant.

However, there was one thing that Li Hanhai couldn't understand. If he was a member of the Luo family, why did they hide the fact that Roy was in their Guishan Base and only say that someone from the Guishan Base saved them, and not mention the child.

"Zhenzhen, do you know Roy?"

"I know, the one from villa number three. What's wrong? He's not mentally normal, don't provoke him." Li Miaozhen squatted beside the charcoal brazier and turned the sweet potatoes.

"I mean, who was Roy before the end of the world? Was he from a wealthy family?"

"You don't even know this. The man who married Aunt Luo had a mistress outside and had a child. The mistress wanted to jump off the building with the child, but she was rescued and Aunt Luo adopted the child."

"In a fundamental sense, he is not a member of the Luo family. The upper class knows it. Dad, how come you don't know it?"

Li Miaozhen picked up the roasted sweet potato with chopsticks and put it in her hand. She didn't feel it was hot at all through the gloves.

"Oh, so that's how it is. It's not the child's fault. It's all because of the parents. Don't mention it in front of others in the future. It's so pitiful."

Li Hanhai said a few perfunctory words, and Li Miaozhen just felt that his father was incomprehensible.
