Chapter 74 “Chu Yun’s News”

This Translation is hosted on https://bcatranslation.com/

The flow of people at the comic exhibition was quite sufficient for such an event.

There are cosplayers everywhere, even rabbits and cat girls walking about in their sailor suits. Of course, the most played character remains to be Iron Man after the recent battle so there are a lot of metal suits walking about. However, the real deal would always attract the most attention. As soon as Song and her party entered the convention, all eyes were on them.

Although they did cover their faces with masks and sunglasses, the four beautiful figures were too eye-catching. Not to mention a darn real-looking Iron Man was tagging along with their group.

“Look everyone, that Iron man is actually glowing like the real one!”

“The materials too, it’s real metal. Do you see the light reflecting off the surface?”

“Oh shit, I can’t find a single flaw in the joints. It can’t be the real thing, right?”

“Are you even looking? He’s accompanying four beauties. It’s most likely them!”

“I’m willing to bet this is the real Iron Man!”

“No way, is it really Song?’

“Quick, come and see!”

……

Suddenly, more and more people began to swarm over to Song’s location and caused a domino effect among the other visitors.

Thankfully there were security guards around to stop the tidal wave of onlookers. In the end, the public could only get within five meters of the group before forming a line due to the secret agents stopping them.

Unexpectedly, this arrangement only excited the crowds because this reinforced their speculation. Who would get such protection unless they were someone famous, right?

“Aaaah, it’s really Song and Iron Man!!!”

“Oh my heart, it’s thumping like crazy! How did I get so lucky to come this close to her?!”

“Brothers, our goddesses are visiting the comic exhibition!”

“Be a little more aware folks, don’t get too close. Let Song and her friends have some space so they don’t get overwhelmed!”

……

The whole comic exhibition was boiling over, with many fans going crazy and screaming at one another. Of course, the majority only took out their phones and started filming, but that’s enough to rile up plenty of folks who weren’t aware.

“JARVIS!”

“JARVIS!”

“JARVIS!”

Seeing this scene, Song and her friends could only make a bittersweet smile underneath those face masks. They know the jig is up and decides to remove their disguise.

Inside some of the livestream chatrooms of the crowds:

“Hurry everyone! If you come to the comic exhibition fast enough, you will get to see Song and her friends in person!”

“Where is it? Is it too late if I take the plane right now?!”

“I’m so jealous, why can’t I be in the area?!!!”

……

“Hello everyone.” Song and her friends wave at the crowd as a formal greeting.

At this point, Long Jiu being the competent female agent she was, had been ready to clear the onlookers away when a little girl held up by her mother’s arm suddenly reached out and shouted, “Iron Man, Iron Man, can I ask you a question?”

Due to her innocent eyes, plus the watery glint, nobody in the security had the heart to stop her. But unfortunately, Jarvis was an AI so he didn’t respond since its not within his protocol. Instead, he quietly waited for Song’s instruction on the matter.

“Go ahead Jarvis, you can answer her.” Song gives the thumbs up by egging him forward.

“Understood Mistress.” With a nod, the metal suit turns to the little girl, “Child, you can ask me. If its within my means, I will answer you honestly.”

Making a curious expression with that childish face, “Where is Brother Chu Yun?”

This question made the whole venue go silent, literally instantaneous because the importance of the answer was something they all wanted to know. Even Song was beating wildly inside due to this.

HOLY SHIT!

This little girl… is awesome!

There were two groups of people before: one paying attention to Jarvis and the other searching for Chu Yun. However, no one ever thought about asking Jarvis directly! Well, that was until the little girl threw this question down.

As an intelligent robot, it’s reasonable to assume he knows about Chu Yun’s situation, right?

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes were staring at Jarvis in anticipation for the answer. One could literally hear the heartbeat of the person next to themselves, that’s how quiet the venue has become.

Too nervous!

This was the only time they had been so close to Chu Yun.

Jarvis’s eyes hummed up, “Do you mean Chu Yun, my master?”

“Mm-hmm.” The little girl nodded repeatedly.

Shaking his metallic head: “Apologies, I do not have enough authority to access that information. I do not know where the Master is.”

Song quickly asks, “Jarvis, do you know what he is doing then?”

“Master has gone off on a conquest campaign. He needs to complete something in order to overcome the opponent.”

Jarvis’s answer caused everyone’s heart to skip a beat.

Conquest campaign?!

Where is he fighting?!

Who is his opponent?

Just listening to what Jarvis said was enough to make their heads tingle.

Conquest campaign, what an ancient word that’s hardly used nowaday.

Song heavily cusped her own mouth in order to stop the weeping voice from coming through. Then asking in the most concerned tone: “Then… is he in danger?”

“A considerable amount of danger,” Jarvis nodded truthfully.

Dangerous?!

Everyone’s heart got hit with cold ice over this.

That’s right, if it’s a conquest campaign then how can it not be dangerous?

Song immediately chased the answer without thinking, “Since there is danger, why didn’t you follow your master?”

It’s obvious she’s weeping at this point and almost blamed the robot.

In her view, Chu Yun wouldn’t be in any danger if Jarvis had tagged along since the metal suit was so powerful. However, the following reply instantly shattered the illusion.

“The opponent is too strong. Therefore, I am not qualified to follow.”

Boom!

The all-mighty Iron Man was not qualified to follow Chu Yun into battle? What kind of ridiculous idea was that? There’s nothing left on the Blue Star that could contend with the robot you know?

This completely broke everyone’s brain. Not only those currently here in person, but also the viewers from the livestreams. They couldn’t even begin to wrap their head around this idea.

“?, ?, ?! This… is fake right?!”

“What kind of opponent can it be if Jarvis is not qualified to follow? Don’t tell me it’s the battlecruisers from Star Wars, right?’

“My momma, I have a feeling we’ve come into contact with a huge secret of this world!!!”

“My god, I’m getting the shivers from watching this. How did the world become so terrifying so suddenly?”

“Fake right? If even Jarvis is not qualified to follow, then what can a mortal like Chu Yun do?’

……

Song had collapsed to the ground after her legs went numb. She had been looking forward to their reunion for so long, but this news was a terrible nightmare, to which it finally dawned on the singer that she might not ever see her husband again.

When Jarvis saw Song like this, he immediately said something humane for once: “Mistress, you do not have to worry. According to my understanding of the Master, the chances of him returning is more than 60%.”

“Only 60%?” This follow-up only added salt to the wound, causing Song’s complexion to grow even paler. Getting all confused as she choked a response, “What is the difference between this and sending himself off to death?!”
