Chapter 66

Watching Susan leave in a huff, Benjamin wanted to say something but stopped, feeling at a loss.

He didn't know whether to chase after Susan to stop her or call his good brother Reed to hurry over.

For a moment, he was truly at his wit's end!

"You're a single dog yourself, yet you dare to help others get out of the single life, tsk tsk—"

"To have a good brother like you, Reed is unlucky enough."

Su Quan, who loved to watch the chaos, saw Benjamin looking foolish and not knowing what to do, and teased him with a snide remark.

What bad intentions could Benjamin have?

He just wanted to protect his good brother's prospective girlfriend from being flirted away by someone else.

"Bastard, everything became like this because of you, and you still dare to gloat!"

Benjamin angrily swung his fist directly at Su Quan.

"Bang!"

Before the fist even landed, his angry expression suddenly stiffened; he clutched his stomach, shivering in pain, and bent over while gasping for cold air.

"I'm not taking the blame for this—"

Su Quan didn't think so highly of himself as to believe that a few lines of flirting could affect the relationship between Susan and Reed.

Clearly, they didn't have much of a relationship yet.

Susan was so beautiful that she must have many suitors, and the future Doctor Du Mu, Victor von Du Mu, was one of them.

Being flirted with and hit on should be something she was accustomed to; it couldn't possibly affect the relationships she wanted to take seriously.

In fact, before Benjamin 'meddled,' Susan had already made her attitude clear.

"I don't have room for your heart!"

Susan was angry partly because Benjamin's good intentions had led to bad results.

After all, this is America, where 'Life is precious, love is even higher. If for freedom, both can be thrown away.'

Freedom is supreme, long live freedom!

On the other hand, it was probably because Reed was too much of a 'straight man.'

Late for dates, and not just once; let alone not being together yet, even if they were, they would be broken up with before long. Otherwise, how did Susan end up with Victor Du Mu after graduation?

Benjamin slowly straightened his back and looked at Su Quan. This guy was so thin and weak, yet he could fight so well. Was this kung fu?

It really hurt, but he couldn't admit defeat. He adjusted his breathing, preparing for the second round!

Just then, a scruffy, unkempt man trotted over.

"Ben, what happened? I just ran into Susan, and she told me not to contact her again."

"Reed—he, he hit on Susan, and I said you were Susan's boyfriend, and then Susan—sorry brother, I might have messed it up." Benjamin lowered his head in regret and apology.

He and Reed were both straight men, and straight men have a characteristic, or logic, which is being reasonable, or one could say, rational.

Su Quan hitting on her was just the trigger; what really made Susan angry was that he said Reed was her boyfriend, interfering with her emotional freedom.

Upon hearing this, Reed's mood became complex. He couldn't blame Benjamin for meddling, as it was for his own sake, but—

"Forget it, forget it. I'll go apologize to Susan; she should forgive me."

"I'll go with you." Benjamin also wanted to apologize to Susan.

Good heavens, Su Quan exclaimed 'good heavens'—could these two iron-straight men be any straighter?

One thought that an apology would lead to forgiveness and the matter would be over, and the other was even more ruthless—he actually wanted to go together?!

If Reed went alone, there might still be a chance to salvage it, but with Benjamin tagging along—

Is this an apology?

This is going to completely ruin everything!

Given Reed's personality, if Susan didn't accept Benjamin's apology, or accepted it but didn't change her decision, he would definitely be able to say things like, "We've both apologized, what else do you want?" or "What do you want us to do to be forgiven?"

"Ahem—" Su Quan coughed deliberately and said something to the two men, whose gazes were unfriendly, that caught them off guard and left them incredulous.

"I have a job, are you interested?"

Benjamin sneered: "Are you crazy? You flirted with his girl—you flirted with the person he likes, and you still want us to help you work?"

Su Quan held up two fingers: "Two hundred thousand dollars."

"..."

Benjamin went silent.

Su Quan took out the time controller and introduced it to Reed: "This is a time controller. It originally had the functions of storing and viewing images, setting time, and viewing and traveling through different timelines and parallel universes."

"Where it came from, don't ask; who I am, don't ask either. Fix it, take the money, and do what you want to do, but don't bring trouble upon yourselves."

"Are you doing it or not?"

Reed and Benjamin looked at each other. A time controller? Traveling through different timelines and different parallel universes?

Is it for real?

It sounds a bit far-fetched!

Benjamin didn't quite believe it, thinking they were being toyed with, but Reed believed it somewhat—or rather, as a genius scientist, he was very interested in such a topic.

With his ability, once he took this time controller apart, he would know at a glance whether it was real or fake.

He could take the money first; if it was fake, it wouldn't waste much time. Even if they were being played, with two hundred thousand dollars, he was willing to be played a few more times.

If it was real, it would definitely be a milestone in human technological history!

Just think, if one could travel through time and parallel universes, all of humanity, and even humanity in countless worlds, could benefit from it, and it would bring about earth-shaking changes!
