Chapter 1525 Legend of the Great Fantom (Part V)

Grandpa Lu took it upon himself to scold his old friends again, warning them about asking any more questions regarding Drakon's disciples.

"I just think that if WhiteTrigress and BlackPanther are truly still young children, then that means that they're also true geniuses," one of his friends said. "They would benefit a lot if they enroll in Cross Academy."

Another gentleman asked Iris and Jin Liwei, "Are the two under your custody?"

"En." Jin Liwei said.

Well, Ketchup and Bacon were his and his wife's own AI cat children. So technically, the two AI cats were under their custody. Nobody would be able to find any paper trails about the so-called custody, though.

Someone asked, "Your adopted kids?"

Neither Iris nor Jin Liwei replied to that question.

Grandpa Lu interrupted. "Why are you still asking so many questions like insecure boyfriends? Tell me, I want to know! Liwei my boy already told you not to keep on digging deeper but you all still insist. Don't blame this old man for not warning you if your secrets are revealed to the world! Hmph!"

Like the husband and wife, Grandpa Lu also felt very protective of Ketchup and Bacon. He also considered the AI cats as his great-grandbabies. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ketchup was very sweet and caring to an old man like him. Bacon, on the other hand, reminded him so much of the new Haohao—a two-faced, crooked rascal! He was still extremely adorable, though.

The old man understood that by creating such advanced AI entities like Ketchup and Bacon, Iris had already put herself in great danger. Keeping Ketchup and Bacon's existence a secret was of the utmost importance.

Even those from Cross Academy couldn't be trusted with this kind of incredibly dangerous secret. Greed could change people's hearts.

It wasn't worth the risk.

There was no way that Grandpa Lu would allow his friends to endanger his disciple and his AI cat great-grandbabies!

In the end, the threat of their deepest and darkest secrets being revealed to the whole world became enough deterrent to the gentlemen in the room to keep their mouths zipped about the revelations they learned today.

For now, at least.

The nerdy tech billionaire could only leave the private showroom with great reluctance.

If others saw them right now without knowing the specific situation, they might think that the trio was involved in a love triangle.

The way the nerdy tech billionaire looked at Iris was like a jilted lover who saw the woman he loved with another man.

Jin Liwei understood this, so his expression became increasingly ugly.

As for Iris, she didn't think too much about it. She already treated the nerdy tech billionaire as a fan.

Now that the others left, Grandpa Lu could finally speak his mind more freely.

"That was close, Xiulan my girl! Ah, this kind of overly stimulating incident is too much for your poor grandpa's old heart!"

Although Grandpa Lu said these words, the twinkle in his eyes betrayed the thrill he felt. He definitely enjoyed what just happened.

Iris consoled him while he continued pretending to be a fragile old man. Both Iris and Jin Liwei knew that Grandpa Lu must be feeling great.

Although Iris was curious, she didn't dare to question the old man about the extent of his knowledge of her secret identity. His big brother had already hinted to her long ago that the old man wasn't as simple as they thought. Grandpa Lu might know more than he let on.

After a few moments, Grandpa Lu finally left the couple alone in the private showroom.

Once he was gone, the flat-screen TV hanging by the wall meant to entertain waiting customers at the shop flickered and showed a fluffy white cat with glowing green eyes.

"Hello, Mommy and Daddy! Did the cute and mighty Ketchup do a good job? Meow~"

"Yes, Ketchup," Iris said with a smile. "You did an excellent job. Thank you. You saved Mom."

"Hehehe~"

"Keep an eye on those uncles and grandpas, Ketchup," Jin Liwei said next. "Don't hesitate to extort them if they so much as breathe a word of what happened inside this room."

A black cat with golden eyes appeared next to Ketchup.

"Extort? Does Father need Bacon's assistance?"
