Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

Chapter 2035 Open and Honest

Gu Chen naturally agreed to the old woman's invitation.

After all, this is a way to make contact with Redell without provoking him too much.

Immediately, accompanied by Gu Chen, the old woman returned to her home before sunset.

"Don't be shy, make yourself at home."

"Oh, right, there might be a foreigner in the house. You two might have things in common. If he's here, your mother-in-law can take you to meet him."

"Alright, hurry up and change your shoes before coming in. It's okay if you don't want to change your shoes."

As the old woman spoke, she beckoned Gu Chen into her home.

Gu Chen readily took off his shoes in the entryway and followed behind the old woman, preparing to put the shopping bags in his hands into the kitchen.

As they passed the room where Redel had stayed the previous night, they were surprised to see Redel sitting cross-legged inside.

For a moment, Redel and Gu Chen looked at each other, which startled Redel.

Although the old woman accepted him, this alien, without any resistance last night, she may not have noticed his physical differences from humans, perhaps because she is old and her eyesight is failing.

But Gu Chen is different. He's a young man, so of course he can tell at a glance that he's not a foreigner dressed in strange clothes, but an alien from another planet.

Redel was still unsure about how other humans treated him, fearing that he might clash with Gu Chen and hurt the kind old woman who had been so kind to him.

However, the next second, Gu Chen's actions made Redel's heart, which had been in his throat, temporarily settle down.

"Hello, are you the foreign guest that your mother-in-law mentioned? It's a pleasure to meet you. Let me help your mother-in-law put her things in the kitchen first, and then we can chat more."

As Gu Chen spoke, he continued to follow the old woman to the kitchen and put down the shopping bag in his hand.

Then, the old woman gently patted Gu Chen on the back and said, "Alright young man, I'll take care of things here by myself. You go and chat with that foreign guest, and then wait for dinner."

Gu Chen nodded readily and said, "Yes, Mother-in-law."

Then, Gu Chen left the kitchen.

It seemed that because two guests had come to visit, the old lady was in a much better mood. She even hummed a beautiful melody while cooking, clearly having not been this happy in a long time.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen, who had just come out of the kitchen, went straight to the room where Redel was. He plopped down in front of Redel and said bluntly, "Hello, nice to meet you, Standel alien."

Upon hearing this, Redd was immediately startled. He remembered clearly that he had not introduced himself to Gu Chen, yet Gu Chen was able to immediately identify his true origins. How could Redd not be surprised?

Immediately, Redel, utterly astonished, telepathically asked, "You know me?"

Gu Chen nodded and said, "I know. I already have some understanding of you Standelians."

Redd immediately asked in confusion, "Then how did you learn about our race?"

Gu Chen placed his hands on the coffee table, looked directly at Redell, and said, "I learned about this from another Standelian named Abobbas. I think you should have heard of this name."

If Redell had pupils, they would have been fixed in place by now.

Although Redel's face had no features that could reveal his inner emotions, Gu Chen could still sense the tension emanating from him.

After all, his sudden tense body speaks volumes.

Seeing this, Gu Chen continued, "Don't be nervous, I'm not with Abbas."

"In fact, I subdued Abbas when he was preparing to capture us humans to serve as slave soldiers for his race."

"All that I know was obtained through interrogation of him."

Hearing this, Redel's tense body still did not relax, because he was unsure whether Gu Chen was a friend or foe to him.

Then, Redel probed, "Abbas is quite strong; as far as I know, no human can match him. So how did you subdue him?"

Gu Chen smiled slyly, pointed to the light bulb above their heads, and said, "Use light. Abbas's weakness is strong light, am I right?"

This left Gu Chen speechless, completely silencing Redell.

He realized that since Gu Chen had already grasped Abbas's weakness, he had most likely also grasped his weakness.

What should he do if Gu Chen suddenly turns against him?

For a moment, Redel panicked.

At this moment, Gu Chen seemed to see through Redel's thoughts. He leaned back slightly, his body, which had been leaning forward and exuding a sense of pressure, and said, "Relax. I know you are different from Abbas. I can tell from the fact that the old woman was able to take you in and you didn't hurt her."

After a moment of silence, Redel continued, "My purpose in coming here is to stop Abbas."

"Their race has gone somewhat mad in their quest to win dominion over the daytime of Stendel."

"Actually, it's not just Abobbas. There are other blue races of Standal people who travel to other planets in the universe to find races that can fight during the day to serve as their slave soldiers."

"In order not to be at a disadvantage in the war, our red race was forced to find races that could fight at night in order to resist the war offensive of the blue race."

Gu Chen listened to Redell's words and nodded slightly, then asked, "So, do you still plan to search for slave soldiers on Earth who can fight at night?"

Upon hearing this question, Redell shook his head without hesitation: "My goal was simply to stop Abobbas, and I do not agree with extending the war on Standal to other innocent planets."

"Moreover, that old woman made me realize that there is more to this world than just war, but there are other things that are more worthy of our cherishing."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen nodded in agreement and said, "It seems you already have an idea of ​​how to resolve the war that is taking place on your planet."

Redel nodded slightly, but did not elaborate.

Ideas are just ideas, and there's no point in telling Gu Chen about them. Everything will have to wait until he returns to Standel Star and puts his ideas into practice before we can know whether his current thoughts can avert the war on Standel Star.
