Chapter 488: Chapter 487: Quite a Few People Have Arrived

Sitting cross-legged here, Peter Brown carefully contemplated the recent events, feeling somewhat uneasy. Lately, he had indeed been living a relaxed life and enjoyed it very much. However, this recent lifestyle didn’t seem to offer any benefits to him.

There was no improvement in his cultivation, and the fighting will in his heart was gradually being eroded by gentleness.

He did gain some insights from his cultivation experience. However, Peter was worried that if he continued living like this for a long time, he would eventually become a mortal. Was this really his initial intention for cultivation?

No, it wasn’t!

Peter increasingly felt that something was wrong.

Time passed bit by bit, and the sky was already dark, but Peter was still deep in thought.

After experiencing these recent events, Peter realized that attempting to hide his identity for cultivation reasons was no longer an option.

Most importantly, he could no longer carry on with his plan to hide in the crowd and gain an understanding of human affairs.

Initially, he wanted to learn some interpersonal skills. However, after living this kind of life for a while, Peter knew that trying to learn these things through his own efforts would never work. It would simply take too much time.

But if he didn’t learn in this way, what other method could he use?

Peter felt that he had fallen into a cognitive misunderstanding.

Just then, Peter’s cell phone rang. It was a call from Adonis Harrison.

"Come to the top floor. There’s a teleportation formation. Teleport over here."

Peter told Adonis the method of teleportation.

Soon, after the teleportation formation flashed several times, a few people appeared on the Island Reef where Peter was.

Adonis arrived, along with several acquaintances from Kingston.

By the time everyone arrived, Peter had already prepared tables and chairs, and poured tea.

Seeing that it was indeed Peter, Adonis excitedly said, "It’s really you!"

"How did you guys come so quickly?" Peter was genuinely puzzled.

"We took a private jet after hearing the news about you." Maurren Smith’s gaze swept over Peter’s entire body.

Peter gave a bitter smile, "I originally wanted to cultivate through hiding among ordinary people, learning human affairs and emotions, but I didn’t expect society to be so complicated. I couldn’t even have a peaceful life!"

Hearing Peter’s thoughts, everyone was perplexed.

Lawrence Baxter said, "Peter, how did you come up with this idea? Tell us, and we’ll help you think it over."

Even though Peter’s cultivation level had increased, his relationship with them was incomparable to outsiders.

Peter then shared his worries with them.

After hearing Peter’s situation, everyone was even more shocked.

"It’s just for this?"

Maurren looked at Peter speechlessly.

Lawrence continued, "To be honest, the matters of this world are too complicated. Even if you devoted your entire life to understanding them, you still wouldn’t comprehend everything. Besides, even if you did understand, what would it change?"

Adonis added, "Actually, many human affairs are fundamentally unchanging. Ancient people had written about them in numerous books. Even if you don’t like reading ancient texts, you can learn these things by reading novels about officialdom and business warfare during your free time. There’s no need to endure this kind of suffering."

Maurren said, "Adonis is right, Peter, it’s not that I’m blaming you. By mingling with mortals and not being able to use your powers, with your current situation, except for being bullied, you wouldn’t have any possibility of fighting back. So, you just need to understand the processes of these things, and as for the results, after understanding them, you can simply use your powers to get rid of them. There’s no need to worry about this."

Bowen Walter laughed loudly, "Your approach is like deliberately making yourself unhappy. The Cultivation World is a world where the strong are respected, and the secular world is no different. People struggle so hard because they want to become strong. You are already strong, yet you still want to pretend to be weak – isn’t that asking for trouble? In my opinion, you can take the time to read ancient books on human affairs, understand many things, and that would be enough. There’s no need to mix with the lower ranks and make yourself unhappy."

Adonis added, "Although I’m not very advanced in my cultivation, I do know one thing: Cultivators are meant to forge ahead fearlessly. If you mingle with ordinary people for too long, your thoughts and awareness will be assimilated, and your mentality will change. Losing the fighting spirit is fatal for a cultivator."

In fact, Peter had already figured out many things and nodded slightly when he heard their words.

Maurren said, "Of course, now that a large number of Foundation Establishment experts have left the Hua Nation again, and you have offended so many people, it’s reasonable for you to keep a low profile. You can hide behind the scenes and get things done, there is no need for drastic measures like disappearing or changing your name."

Adonis looked at Peter and laughed, "Peter, many things in this world are just like that. Why did you invent something so incredible when there was no need? Do you want to harm those girls?"

Maurren glared at Peter and said, "Some people just want to help when they see a beautiful girl. Humph!"

Everyone laughed.

Bowen added, "Peter, your invention is amazing. It will have a profound impact on society, and its influence can extend to various fields. Do you think those girls can protect this technology? Forget about them, even if you were just an ordinary person, you would still face danger. Today it’s the Harris Family, but tomorrow there might be even more powerful families competing for your technology. What would you do then?"

Lawrence nodded, "Both of them are right. As long as your company can make a lot of money, the person in charge will face danger. We still live in an era where the strong are respected. Sooner or later, influential families will seize your interests. They might treat you well and give you some benefits, or if you encounter ruthless people, they might directly seize everything and even kill you. What are you going to do then?"

By now, Peter had also thought about this issue and felt somewhat regretful. He initially wanted to help the girls, but now it seemed that he was likely to harm them.

"You are all correct; my thinking was too simple."

Peter had no choice but to admit the truth.

Adonis said, "As long as you understand, that’s good. They are simply incapable of controlling such enormous interests. It would only be possible if you were supporting them from behind, or if an even greater force is supporting them."

Waving his hand, Peter said, "Talk to the national government. This technology will be handed over to them. However, the girls should also get some benefits."

Now that Peter had thought it through, he no longer had the time to take care of these beautiful girls. It was better to just hand it over to the government. Besides, he had never thought of obtaining any benefits from this invention in the first place.
