Chapter 76 Moving Forward

…….

“Charlotte, you know that nobody is going to steal that ring from your hands.” Seeing her staring at the ring for almost half an hour while making a sly face tired him even more. 

Brian helplessly sighed.

Charlotte turned around and giggled like a love-struck fool. 

“I am engaged to you now. I am finally engaged.”

ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ “I know. I know. I am the guy who proposed to you. Calm down!” Brian helplessly patted her shoulders to calm her down but his efforts didn’t mean much.

“How can I calm down? You know I have been waiting for this moment my whole life after I fell in love with you. I was dreaming to be your bride the entire time. And, now that dream has finally come true.”

“And, you proposed to me for marriage out of nowhere. There is no way I can calm down.” Charlotte was telling the truth. She really didn’t expect him to propose.

At least, not this soon. For her, it might be soon but for Brian, it felt like an eternity. The huge pressure that he had after his parents died finally went down.

For three years, he ignored her, tried to run away, and tried everything so that he won’t do anything stupid like creating another Celestial Killing Bomb. But after that, he slowly began to take his relationship back to normal.-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.

It’s just that he could never feel brave enough to take it a step forward.

He understood one thing. He was a coward when it comes to feelings.

He hid. He ran. He suppressed every emotion in his heart. He tried to be a loner. He tried to kick out everyone from his heart.

But, he never tried to take a step forward. He never tried to look after the people who really cared about him. He never tried to return the favor. 

After his future daughter incident and Emperor’s Wraith incident, he panicked. He felt rage and anger in his heart. And, he felt like he would need to go back to his previous self to become what he has left behind.

But this time, he didn’t just have Charlotte.

He had a daughter. A little vampire who needed his guidance and his love to grow. And, if he ran away right now, if he hid right now, who would be there for her?

Then, he realized it wasn’t just her. Previously, Charlotte was there just as a friend. 

But not anymore. She was there as a part of his family, as his girlfriend, and as his future wife. He realized that he might not have a future so why not hurry, why not do it now, why not do it right after you got the perfect moment.

This time, he didn’t want to run away. He had things that he can’t run away from. He had the responsibility that needed him. He had people to hold tight and never let him do anything stupid. ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ

This time, he had no one to hate.

Brian understood this very well. His mood wasn’t complicated anymore. He wrapped his arms around Charlotte and kissed her lips. This time she just closed her eyes and let him continue.

After a minute, he broke the kiss and said “Unfortunately, I might not have enough stamina to continue on the bed.”

Hearing this, Charlotte blushed and lowered her head. He touched her hand and held them tightly.

“Charlotte, I know this is not something I should ask for after proposing to you. But, I got no other choice. Ely’s smile means everything to me. She is the reason why we are together.”

“My parents always supported me, always had my back, always loved me and now, I am understanding why. When you are a father, your family means more than anything to you.”

“And, I don’t want my family to break apart. So, I will leave the decision to you. Ely will be here even if she isn’t. Ely is my daughter and I will keep her with me. This time, I won’t run or hide.”

“So, this time, you decide whether ‘she’ stays or leaves.”

When Brian said that Charlotte shook her head and asked “Aren’t you still trying to hide? Isn’t this the same as running away?”

“No….I…” Just when Brian tried to find an explanation, Charlotte covered his mouth and said “Let’s do this together. Before you didn’t have me to be your backbone but now, here I am, wearing the ring. I will always support you. So, don’t run away this time.”

“Ely is not just your daughter now. She is my daughter as well. I might not be her real mother. But, I will love her like I would love my own child.” 

Hearing her words, Brian deeply sighed and nodded his head.

“Alright! Let’s do what we can do. There is no need to rush at least not until she comes.” 

He stood up and said, “Well, I will be going back to my lab.”

But suddenly, Charlotte caught his hand and asked “You didn’t tell me anything except for your own past. Don’t leave now. Tell me more!”

Brian helplessly sighed and said.

“I am taking a break from the game for seven days so that I can enjoy my time with you and Ely. Today is only the first day. We still have six more days left. I will talk about something new each day.”

Charlotte pouted but still let go of his hand. Then, she went back to looking at her ring and giggling all the time. Brian returned to his lab.

“Lily, has she started working on that?” 

“Yes sir, it will take one week for her to complete it and then we would be able to track her location.” Lily projected herself in a virtual form and explained.

“That’s good! Now, I want you to create a new file for a new task. Name it ‘Heavenly Dragon Lair’.”

“File has been generated. Would you like to create a model for this task?”

“Yes, draw a complete map of this mansion and everything around it.” 

With his command, a holographic picture of the entire mansion and the ground around it emerged. This not only contained the things outside the mansion but also the things inside the mansion.

It also showed the giant lab under the mansion and hundreds of giant pipelines connected to the lab.

“Sir, what would you like to add?” Lily asked.

“Hmm… connect all the pipes to the middle of the mansion. Change the current design, and use the backup power source while doing this. This is your first project.”

“Utilize every robotic arm we have to finish this project as soon as possible, then focus on the next task. It is to create four laser cannons around the mansion in each direction.”

“By the way, do you still remember the ‘Sun Dragon Cannon’ Design?” 

“Sir, I can’t things unless you ask me to.”

“Good! Then, create these cannons instead of normal cannons.”

“But sir, we don’t have enough energy to charge these cannons.”

“Don’t worry, I am just getting there. Today, I realized something. In fact, I realized many things and this thing is one of those. Although I am way beyond current earth’s technology, I am still a member of this planet.”

“Earth is my motherland and if I can advance so much in technology, I should also help the earth advance in terms of technology. We are barely a Type One civilization. But, we need to be more than that.”

“Now, I am going to commence a new project. Lily, record this and send it to all directors.”

“I, Brian Jackson will help the earth reach Type Two civilization in less than a decade. And, I want the full support of UMA to do so.”

After a long pause, Lily responded “Sir, the message has been delivered.”

“Good, now let’s start working on this project. We are going to create the Dyson sphere around our sun in less than five years.”

“But sir, it wouldn’t possible. According to the size of the sun, and the number of materials we have, it would take almost a decade to do so.”

Brian shook his head and said “We are not going to send humans to work there. It’s time to create self-replicating nano-tech. We are going to use the Quartz Crystals found inside the dungeons in order to power up the Quantum Panel Generation Core.”

“Normal energy won’t sustain it but with the help of Quartz Crystals, we might be able to create the core. That core would be able to generate the panels around the sun that can absorb the solar waves.”

“Of course, we are going to cover the core with the nano chips. We are going to enhance the capabilities of nanochips with Zero-Point Energy to make it much more durable and flexible.”

“By the way, this also means we can improve the Power Chamber. For now, though, let’s just focus on the Dyson sphere and ‘Heavenly Dragon Lair’.”
