"Haha. Luan, you arrived as planned." Saul appeared through the door. He looked like a 50-year-old Crossfit man. The white hair and beard had more shine, but Luan was unsure if it was natural or his grandfather had some kind of treatment to stay that way.

"Mm, I got back today." Luan said and smiled, "Grandpa, you're in great shape now."

"It is not? Haha, maybe you'll get a new grandmother soon since the fallen one has risen." Saulo laughed out loud afterward.

The maids who heard this blushed and laughed quietly.

Many had dreams of Saulo; he was charming even though he was an old man, and now he looked younger and very attractive, especially since many have a fetish with an older man with white hair.

"Well, a President needs the First Lady." Luan joked.

"Mm, that's true." Saulo stroked his goatee while thinking seriously. After a while he says, "Okay, we didn't waste time out here, let's go in."

Saulo smiled at Ingrid, whom he already considered his granddaughter, and nodded, pleased to see her coming with his grandson. Not only beautiful, she was powerful, he could feel she was way above him, even after training rigorously, but youth was a wonderful thing, it could ripen and get stronger quickly, but his old bones take longer to be perfected.

As he was thinking, Saulo came in with his two grandchildren. A huge feast was served and Saulo opened his best wine.

"Grandfather, be careful, they have now joined with the nymphs and other races, and they control for now with the tower they managed to take over until they assume the position of President, the tower will remain in their hands and they can count it as an advantage, of course, I can take the tower easily if I wish." Luan flashed a rare predatory smile.

Saulo was a little surprised, but he laughed, "Haha, no need, they can count an advantage now, but they won't win, and I saw what you did, Luan, they only have 1 rook and they can't say there's no limit, it has already been established that there is a limit of people who can enter, and if they talk too much, they will be enemies of the whole world."

Saulo was saying about the 'disadvantage' that the tower says it has, that there is a limitation of people who can enter it and it has a deadline. So they can control people easily and not lose control of the tower, because if they don't put a limitation, everyone will want to enter the tower, and the world itself will be unprotected, after all, there are still monsters everywhere if strong people don't kill and stay in the tower, the human race loses.

This was something they quickly understood. And they entered into good common sense. The fight for the towers was only between internal fights, after all, no big country could fight another at that time, especially with other races living in their country just waiting for a third world war to happen.

Luan returned to a neutral expression and shrugged: "They're kind of brainless, if they act wrong, just kill them all, for now, I'll be quiet and leave it to you, grandfather."

Saulo heard Luan say very dangerous things without any fluctuation of emotion and was a little surprised, he didn't know what his grandson had to go through because of the change in the world and what he needed to do to survive in the tower, but he certainly did. killed. And because of the indifference, he says about someone else's life, they weren't few.

Saulo is a war hero, and he killed many, it didn't shake him. He was just surprised. He smiled softly and drank wine while he needed good food.

"But I don't think it gets to the point of acting irrationally. They may have the courage to rob their own country, but they don't have the courage to start a war." Ingrid knew a little and sneered: "They submit to bribes from other, weaker countries. So how can they have such courage and daring?"

"Yes, my granddaughter is right." Saulo nodded, pleased with her even more: "There's no way this bunch of cowards who've never done anything but fill their pockets with money has the courage to get into a fight against all countries."

"Mm, I know that. But, there are always idiots who act on impulse and do shit." Luan said coldly.

"... I can't deny this possibility, but I'm going to take over as President of Brazil before that happens, and by the way, what's the good news?" Saulo changed the subject.

"Mm, I got a lot of good things. I intend to make a special formation for you, grandfather, with that you will be able to improve faster. Also around the whole mountain that we are, this will cause the Qi to be pulled in this direction and your people will improve faster, I also have new pills to help Grandpa." Luan told him with a small smile.

"Is this being expensive for you? Don't stop getting better because you're worried about me." Saulo said seriously as he placed the wine glass on the table.

"Small amount, I used more with me obviously. If I'm strong, I can always get better resources. I understand that very well, and with what I think is acceptable denial, I spend it on whoever I want to protect. For now, what I do is enough, so I can rest easy, but that could change, so that's why I need to stay strong." Luan said.

"Well!" Saulo didn't feel offended, in fact, he thought his grandson was quite sensible, he was talented and evolves fast, and the stronger he is, the easier it will be to get new resources, while he can keep the crumbs, since it will be more than enough for the present time, for now, it is necessary to build a solid foundation, only then will Saulo enter the tower himself and get resources for himself.

"I also have a present for Grandpa." Ingrid smiled and took a sword from her ring.

It was a Third Order Odachi sword and then a Third Order pistol. Using Qi, it was possible to shoot Qi bullets. Powerful enough to kill some Third Order enemies.

"What a good granddaughter, I liked it a lot! Mainly from this pistol." Saulo took and caressed the gold-plated pistol lovingly.

- POV1 - Ingrid Anjos -

Luan's grandfather's reaction pleased me, I smiled softly: "I'm glad Grandpa liked it."

I see him hold the pistol and his reaction was quite funny, as he looked like a child with his eyes shining when he got a new toy, and when he took the Odachi sword, he got excited again.

"This is a good sword. I've never used it in real fighting, but I'm interested and of this size... Mm, quite challenging, I know how to fight fencing, but only at the sport level." I see Grandpa unsheath the Odachi sword and stand up. He went to the middle of the room and started swaying and gesturing.

It was pretty amazing, I was surprised, since he said he wasn't proficient, I was sure if he fought an enemy of the same level, he would win.

"Grandfather, just like that, it's very rigid, I have big sword technique, I'll give it to you." I turn around and see Luan pull something out and start writing, it was amazing the speed he wrote and his serious face hypnotizes me for a few seconds, yes he was handsome when he was serious about doing something.

And what surprised me most was when he finished writing, the parchment flew and touched his grandfather's head. Moments later, even though the security guards were concerned, they dared not act rashly.

"Hahaha! Good technique, I appreciate it!" Grandfather suddenly laughed out loud, it seems like it was something Luan always does and I see the letters on the parchment that fell to the ground are gone...

'Amazing as always.' I couldn't help but smile and admire my boyfriend.

I rested my hand on my face and stared at him for a few seconds, 'no wait, I'm still at grandpa's house...' I scolded myself for looking at Luan and ignoring the fact that we're still at grandpa's house and the rest are here looking, my god, what a shame!

I take a deep breath, yes, and calm down. Looking at grandfather, I see that he is still training with the Odachi sword and I sighed in relief, but when I saw some maids whispering, I could hear it clearly, and my face heated up.

'Yes, yes, my boyfriend is amazing at…' Coughing, I lost my composure again.

This is the technique that Luan gave Grandpa? Hmm, pretty impressive, he got the hang of it fast, or rather Luan analyzed it well and chose the best one that suits his grandfather. As expected, Luan is very impressive, I look at him again but look away quickly...

"She is so in love with Mr. Luan."

'Yes, yes I'm okay, now stop looking, for God's sake!' I wanted to ignore what they whispered, but I see Luan turn and look at me with his red eyes and the cutest smile I've ever seen in my life, ahh, he can't do this to me!

I knew it, he heard it too and is teasing me! I'll 'punish' him later, 'humph!'

It seems that the punishment from before was not enough...

I stop looking, otherwise, I'll end up embarrassed, my face is already starting to heat up. By the way, why are women so fond of gossiping about other people's romances?

'Bastard…' I feel a hand on my thigh and glare at Luan, but he flashes a smile that makes me go soft, 'Damn smile!'
