Chapter 180 Crimson Flame Empire

Zhou Tian Galaxy

Crimson Empire

Tianyu Science Research Institute

A thin, slightly hunched elderly man was wearing a neat and simple research institute uniform.

He frowned as he looked at the data on the virtual monitoring screen.

It's been ten years.

This marks the tenth year since Admiral Holland entered the virtual world of the Immortal Realm.

A stylishly dressed, curvaceous young female assistant walked into the observation room in red high heels.

Her white work clothes accentuated her curves.

Upon seeing Dr. Derian, a flash of disdain crossed Alina's eyes, before she vanished without a trace.

A bright and charming smile appeared on her lips as she greeted him, "Good morning, Dr. Derian!"

Derian nodded and replied in a low voice, "Good morning, Miss Alina!"

Derian glanced back at Alina, then turned his gaze back to the monitoring screen of the Immortal Realm virtual world, watching intently.

Alina rolled her eyes at Derian's hunched back.

In ten years, the Huo family has become a completely different entity, suppressed by the royal family to the point that they can no longer hold their heads high.

Since Holland's grandfather, Hodson, passed away, and his uncle, Hawthorne, took power.

Nine years have passed, and no one from the Huo family has visited Holland at the research institute since.

In her opinion, they should just let General Holland's soul be annihilated in the virtual world.

Why bother guarding it every day?

Only Derian, with his single-mindedness, has taken such good care of her for ten years.

Alina glanced through the nutrient tank but couldn't see Holland's figure inside. She then left, her ten-centimeter red high heels jingling.

After Alina left, Derian took off his glasses, a hint of joy in his eyes.

Huo family

Hogezi: "Dad, Brother Holland has been in the research institute for ten years, why hasn't he woken up yet?"

"Aren't we really going to go take a look?"

Hawthorne shook his head: "Gezi, the more we pay attention to Lant, the more dangerous Lant becomes."

"With your Grandpa Delian around, Lant will get better."

Hoggia: "Father, let's leave the Empire."

"If the royal family can't tolerate us, why should we..."

Hawthorne: "Wait a little longer."

Hogezi nodded and conceded, "Okay, Father."

Then, he raised his hand and flicked the red hair on his forehead, resuming his idle and carefree demeanor.

Imperial Palace

Rhys Landor lay leisurely in the garden, basking in the sun, listening to Rhys Calandi report on intelligence from the Federation.

Rhys Calandi: "Father, the Federation has never given up contacting the Holland family, and seems to still be hoping for Holland's awakening. How ridiculous."

"Could it be that the Empress of the Federation has taken a liking to that kid Holland?"

Rhys Landor: "Calandi, don't be fooled by appearances."

"The Federal Empress is not one to be sentimental."

"She probably saw potential in Holland."

"An Alpha with SSSSS-level mental strength and physical constitution possesses combat power comparable to a top-tier warship."

When this was mentioned, Rhys Landor's voice was full of apprehension.

Immortal Realm Virtual World

Tianyuan Continent

Royal Forbidden Area

Yan Qi, who rushed over after noticing the strangeness in the forbidden area, only managed to see Yan Jiayu and Xiao Xuan disappear into the Tianyuan Continent.

Immediately, sorrow welled up within me.

Yan Huan patted Yan Qi on the shoulder, "Don't be discouraged. When your cultivation reaches the peak of the Integration Stage, you will also be able to travel to the Upper Continent through the Forbidden Area."

Yan Qi: "......"

"Our ancestors really thought highly of him."

Yan Qi: "Ancestor, aren't you going to the Upper Continent?"

Yan Huan shook his head. "No rush."

Yan Qi: "......"

Still unwilling to give up, Yan Qi asked, "Will Jia Yu come back?"

Yan Huan gave Yan Qi a meaningful look, then turned and walked away.
