Chapter 56 Bronya Goes Up There
"Now that this matter is settled, I should be leaving. I'll leave the rest to Toppa," Chen Feng said to Toppa. In the original storyline, Toppa was quite friendly towards Belloborg, so he felt more at ease having Toppa handle things.
"Don't worry, the company has taken care of everything for me. Just treat it as a vacation." Topa smiled slightly. "I also want to see what kind of potential this planet, frozen for hundreds of years, will reveal."
Chen Feng nodded, and after exchanging words for a while, Toppa left under the pretext of business. Cocolia and Bronya, who were behind Chen Feng, also breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's hard to imagine that someone with such a friendly tone could be a high-ranking member of a powerful force that spans the entire universe," Bronya remarked. "She's clearly not much different from an ordinary person."
Cocolia remained silent. She could tell that Toppa was being so friendly probably because of the man in front of him. As for the Bellobergs, they were probably not even worth a glance. This was also a favor she owed Chen Feng.
"I probably won't need to get involved in what happens next, so I should head out." Chen Feng stretched. He was indeed not suited for this kind of thing, but he couldn't just refuse to see them since they had come specifically for him.
"Are you leaving already?" Bronya realized what was happening when she heard this, and felt quite reluctant to part with him. However, she also understood that with Chen Feng's status, the universe was his home turf, and staying here would only waste Chen Feng's time.
"Well, it'll be a few more days. After all, Xing and the others haven't come up yet. They'll leave once they finish up their business in the lower city."
"Chen Feng pondered for a moment before explaining."
He then smiled and looked at Bronya: "What, you don't want me to leave?"
Bronya remained silent, but her silence seemed to speak volumes. Seeing this, Chen Feng shook his head and said, "I've said it before, all good things must come to an end. Besides, it's not like I won't come back to visit."
"You all heard what happened just now. Yalilo VI is now under my control. What boss wouldn't abandon the forces under his command?" Chen Feng said, offering a few words of comfort.
Bronya nodded, the gloom in her heart instantly dissipating. Yes, it's not like Chen Feng wouldn't come back. Since Chen Feng has devoted so much effort to Belloberg, then she should also work hard to make Belloberg worthy of Chen Feng's efforts.
"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to rest now. Good luck to you two!" Chen Feng gave the two a thumbs up and then left the meeting room, leaving them alone.
"There are still a few days left, Bronya, you mustn't leave yourself with any regrets." Cocolia looked at Bronya, who was standing there like a statue waiting for her husband, and smiled helplessly as she went up to encourage her.
"Mother!" Bronya blushed instantly, like a cat jumping up and down, but she was also pondering the meaning behind Cocolia's words.
A few days later, the initial reconstruction work in the city came to an end.
Xing, March 7th, and Dan Heng, covered in dust and somewhat exhausted, finally returned to the upper town of Beloborg through the reopened passage.
-
As soon as Xing saw Chen Feng, she rushed over, her voice filled with exaggerated grievance: "Dad! We're finally up here! Do you know what we've been doing down there these past few days? We've been literally breaking concrete, carrying bricks, and building roads! We were really involved, but it was all hard physical labor!"
March 7th, hands on hips, though tired, her eyes sparkling: "Exactly! But—hehe, seeing how happy the miners were when they got their new tools, and Sister Xi'er's awkward way of saying thank you, makes it all worthwhile!"
"It's just that Mr. Schwarzroth's command of the robots is so efficient that it makes us look a bit clumsy—"
Danheng nodded silently, and said succinctly, "The reconstruction work is progressing smoothly, and Swallow's mechanical legion is incredibly efficient. Natasha and Hield send their regards to you and Lady Bronya."
To welcome the train crew members and to celebrate their departure the next day, Bronya and Cocolia insisted on hosting a small farewell dinner.
The location was a cozy side room inside Fort Kripper, and the participants included the four members of the train crew, Bronya, Cocolia, Silva, Jepard, and Pera.
The atmosphere was warm yet tinged with sadness.
The dining table no longer features the luxurious aristocratic style of the past, but rather simple dishes that blend the characteristics of the upper and lower districts, symbolizing a new beginning.
Jepard expressed his deepest gratitude on behalf of the Silvermane Guards.
For once, Hiluva was not sarcastic and played a few light and cheerful tunes.
Bronya, as the acting High Guardian, delivered a heartfelt thank you speech.
She looked especially at Chen Feng, her amber eyes shimmering with a complex light under the lamplight—gratitude, reluctance, and a hint of indescribable excitement.
Her words made no mention of the heavy debt, but only emphasized the "sunshine" and "hope" that Chen Feng and the train crew brought to Belleburg, promising to lead Belleburg to prosperity and live up to this kindness.
After the banquet, everyone dispersed.
Xing and March 7 were dragged by Pera to "experience the last good nightlife in the Upper East Side".
Dan Heng chose to return to the train to organize the think tank data.
Watching Chen Feng return to his room to rest, Bronya seemed to have made up her mind. The moment Chen Feng stepped into the room, she went straight in.
Just doing this was enough to make the reserved Bronya blush.
Looking at the uninvited guest who had barged in, Chen Feng looked at Bronya with slight embarrassment: "Isn't our relationship moving a little too fast? We've only been together for a short time—"
Before Chen Feng could finish speaking, Bronya blushed and pounced on him, both of them falling onto the pure white quilt.
The softness on both sides made Chen Feng subconsciously raise his head, but he also understood Bronya's feelings. Everything that happened afterward was like a natural progression.
Seele, who was visiting the Upper City for the first time and was also representing the Lower City, was received by Cocolia after the banquet. After all, Bronya was too busy, so only her mother could attend.
After exchanging information about the situation in the lower city, Seele looked at the real High Warden in front of her with some doubt: "Where are the Bronya? Shouldn't we be able to get the High Warden involved in the matters of the lower city?"
Cocolia glanced at a room not far away and smiled slightly: "She's been busy with something lately, so she probably won't have much free time these next few days."
Seele nodded. "Okay, I guess. He's a very busy person, so it's normal for him to have a lot of things to do."
What she didn't know was that the kind of busyness she envisioned was slightly different from the kind of busyness Cocolia envisioned.
