Chapter: 5423

Cloud Rain said with disdain: "When people die, it's like a candle being extinguished. If I were to die, the best outcome would be that my body returns to dust and my spirit returns to the sky, without any attachments or lingering concerns. As for having an epitaph, burning incense, or being remembered by others, I'm already dead, so what's the point of all these things?"

Ober felt a sense of desperation as he realized Cloud Rain was not taking him seriously, and let out a helpless sigh before muttering: "I've worked hard to get to this world, and I don't want to die without being remembered. I want someone to remember me after I'm gone."

Cloud Rain snickered in response: "Then why don't you quickly find a woman to marry and have some kids? That way, after you're dead, your descendants can give you an epitaph and burn incense for you."

Ober scowled and said: "Distant Uncle, I've repeatedly hinted at my intentions, but you just keep finding excuses to brush me off. Am I really so worthless that you don't even look at me? Can't I enter your eyes?"

Cloud Rain chuckled lightly: "What are you saying, Build-A-Career? Like Song doesn't have any abilities or merits, and yet you're willing to treat her with such disdain? Like Song is not looking down on you either; she's just focused on cultivating herself. If she can gain eternal life, she'll be able to possess everything in this world. If she can't, then it's like clouds disappearing, and there's nothing we can do about it."

Ober was taken aback for a moment before letting out a deep sigh: "Eternal life is not something that can be easily obtained, even if someone as strong as the Lord of Heaven didn't have this ability. You need to have divine powers to achieve it!"

Cloud Rain spoke calmly: "Whether or not I seek eternal life is my own affair, and whether or not I get it is up to heaven. The two are not mutually exclusive."

After that, Cloud Rain sent another voice message: "Build-A-Career, although we're comrades-in-arms, in the end we're not on the same path, so please don't waste your time on me from now on."

Ober's heart was filled with frustration and a mix of sadness, anger, and disappointment. Although Cloud Rain had said her piece, he still couldn't bring himself to continue the argument. He let out a sigh and said: "Alright, then. I know my own limitations and won't bother you again. If we meet in the future, please don't hold it against me."

Cloud Rain smiled and said, "I'm a forgetful person. I just accidentally deleted Build-A-Career's information without realizing it. What did he say just now? I've forgotten all about it already."

Ober knew that Cloud Rain was giving him an out, so he replied, "If you forgot anyway, then I won't bring it up again either. Let's hope we can both complete our mission and return triumphantly!"

Ober felt terrible as he looked at those two characters.

Although he had expected Cloud Rain to reject him, he couldn't accept it after being rejected.

He was not the humble gentleman he pretended to be in front of Cloud Rain. Instead, his heart was narrow-minded and harbored resentment against anyone who had wronged or offended him.

To him, Cloud Rain's rejection was a blatant lack of respect.

So he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Cloud Rain, what are you showing off for? Looking down on me? Wait till I get my chance to make you regret it! You'll be begging for mercy under my feet!"

After that, he felt a burning fire in his heart that had nowhere to vent.

At 11:30 PM, the plane landed at Larnaca International Airport, and Ober tried to adjust his mental state as best he could. With empty hands, he walked out of the airport, looking around nervously.

By this time, the airport was already deep into the night, and a light drizzle had begun to fall in the southern region of Cyprus.

Ober hailed a taxi directly at the airport gate and then sped off towards the copper mine area.

Before departing, Wu Shu had already shown Ober the specific location of the copper mine as well as its floor plan. At this point, Ober had a thorough understanding of the surrounding terrain and the internal structure of the mine.

According to his plan, he intended to sneak into the main office building of the copper mine from the outside, where Nie Zhenyu was residing.

Half an hour later...

A taxi stopped on the highway about one kilometer away from the copper mine.

The engine temperature and water level were still high, but the car was empty inside, with no passengers or driver. JrNovels.com
