Chapter 628 - "A Fair Rule"

[Weird, nya~] 

The male cat tilted his head, and his blue eyes glinted slightly. He truly couldn't understand his boss' thoughts and considerations. 

His boss is always acting mysterious, and people might call her a crazy or cold-hearted beast, but in fact, she's kinder than everyone he knows. 

She also had an overwhelming sense of motherly love, ah! 

That's why there must be a reason why she rejected that baby just now. 

Code-L heard Code-B's words, and she only lightly flicked her tail that didn't seem to have thick fur, unlike Code-B and Code-C, a.k.a Cellino. 

[Hmph. That silly girl doesn't know that relying on her exclusive ability will only make her more miserable.] 

[Huh? What do you mean, nya–] 

[Don't you know that using an exclusive ability deduct one's lifespan?] Code-C cut off Code-B's speech and lazily looked at him. 

Code-B paused before nodding. 

[I know, nya. But that only happens if the user uses too much of that ability, right? If that baby doesn't exhaust herself when using that ability, isn't it okay, nya~ ] 

[Hmph. Who said that it's only when the user goes overboard? Indeed, when the user goes over the limit, his or her life spans will slowly decrease. But…] 

The cat paused before continuing. 

[Don't you know that even when they're using the ability below the limit, their lifespan also decreases bit by bit, albeit only a few seconds, minutes, or days?] 

In other words, everytime Ainsley used her luck manipulation ability, her life spans always decreased. 

It's just that it's too small to be noticed. 

[That baby can live up to 85 years old thanks to her friend's sacrifice. But if she keeps using her ability when she's only three, don't you think one day, she might die under forty?] 

The female cat snorted from her nose while flinging her tail freely. 

[Just like that idiot legend.] 

[...you mean...the Godfather, nya? Didn't you say he passed away because…] 

Code-B hadn't finished his words when Code-L interrupted. 

[He did die because of that incident, but it's coincidentally the end of his lifespan too. He used his exclusive ability too much, and his life spans decreased like crazy.] 

The white cat let out a sigh before rolling on the marble bench. 

[And that idiot didn't even know about this, not even now. Do you want the Sloan Family to only thrive for a few decades? No, right?] 

The cat licked her belly as she spoke in a voice full of disdain. 

[That's why I won't let that baby meet you just yet. She ought to suffer and learn not to depend on her exclusive ability.] 

After all, such an overpowered ability...how could there be no price to pay? This world is fair. Even if one is a transmigrator, they have to abide by the rules. 

Using one's lifespan in exchange for such an overpowered ability is actually a fair trade. 

[She should have only used her ability to save someone who's on the brink of death or to protect herself from people stronger than her.] 

Or to make sure the neutralisers didn't neutralise her other abilities. 

[Hmph. But that idiot legend thought of teaching this silly kid to make her ability into a mass-murder weapon. How dumb.] 

Once or twice is okay, but to kill only using luck manipulation ability would only suck the baby's lifespan faster and faster. 

[She might not know anything and suddenly dies before she could be an adult.] 

When Code-B heard Code-C's complaints, he couldn't help but snicker. 

[In the end, you still like that toddler, nya? As usual, your motherly nature is unbeatable, nya~ ] 

Code-B meowed a few times before silently looking at Code-L with pity in his eyes. 

Her motherly nature is so strong...is it because she can't have children? 

Well, once she became a sacred beast inheriting the white tiger's bloodline, she can no longer be pregnant. 

In the end, the one she could consider a child would be her bloodline's heir in the future. 

Code-B shook his head before growling in a low tone. 

[I hope that your 'baby' can understand why you reject her, nya~ I don't want to see her hating you, nya~ ] 

Code-L was silent for a few seconds before harrumphing coldly. 

[I don't care. She's not my baby. I just don't want the Sloan Family to deteriorate even further. It's sad to see the family we are protecting is getting weaker and weaker.] 

At Code-L's words, Code-B said nothing and only kept licking his back while purring once in a while. 

Ahhh, he actually wished to go out and get a human to pamper him well. Tsk, tsk, it's a pity that we have to wait for a little longer. 

Code-B looked at the faraway Golden Gate and sighed. 

Little baby, quickly throw away your dependency on your exclusive ability so that you can take us out! 

Not knowing what happened behind the Golden Gate, Ainsley went back to Grandpa Yofan's office, and the two discussed the matter with the golden gate for a while. 

After discussing for an hour and finding no solution, they could only try to open the gate again tomorrow. 

In the meantime, Ainsley went to the mausoleum to see the Godfather's condition, and when she saw his complexion was getting better and better, she couldn't help but smile widely. 

[Gwodfathel, please wake up soon! I am waiting…] 

After checking Godfather and the mausoleum business, Ainsley also checked the other territories before returning to the mansion to prepare for the upcoming party. 

That night, she got the list of the people attending the party, and when she saw a lot of them were children, she couldn't help but gasp. 

'Damn it. It seems that I'll have to socialise with brats AGAIN!'
