As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

Having her "vital point" caught, Miss System let out a cute little gasp, struggled symbolically for a couple of moments, then gave up resisting, letting him play with her delicate little foot, a sly smile like that of a little fox appearing on her face.

"Hehe, host, your desires are really strong. You've been in love with so many girls before, and you're still so energetic. No wonder you just rested. Did you want to recharge your energy so you could have some fun with this system?"

"Although I'd love to have fun like you suggested, System, I don't mean it right now. I was just thinking about something," Lius said.

"Thinking about problems? I don't believe it. Nine times out of ten, the host's thinking is about scheming against someone or planning some interesting game, right?" Miss System tilted her head, her bright eyes sparkling with all-knowing light.

"Ha... In your eyes, is this all I think about?" "Isn't that right?"

"Well... sometimes it is, but most of the time it isn't," Lius denied earnestly, then changed the subject, straightening his expression, "This time, I want to help with something related to family."

"Family ties?" The system smiled warmly upon hearing this.

“Hmm.” Lius nodded, his fingertips gently gliding over the delicate skin, his gaze becoming deep and distant. “I intend to let Helen and her mother… meet formally, and recognize each other in the most normal and ordinary way.”

"Miss System glanced at him, her playful and teasing smile faltering slightly as she looked somewhat surprised."

"This... Host, are you serious? You really intend to let Helen and her real mother, Nautica, recognize each other right now?"

"Of course I'm serious, so what do you think, Miss System?" Faced with Lius's words, Miss System narrowed her eyes slightly, and then spoke in a rational voice, giving a precise assessment of the risks.

“Telling Helen the truth at this time might stir up some emotions in her. She might not accept it so easily, and she might even hold a grudge against you, the host.”

"Furthermore, there are many things to handle regarding Nottica and Rosalind... and they are quite complicated. Are you really confident, host?"

"Well, in response to her worried reaction, Lius smiled gently, his face still maintaining that calm and gentle composure."

"Of course I know what you're saying, Miss System, but I've also thought about it. Some problems can't be delayed indefinitely." Can't be delayed indefinitely?

"That's right. Helen's longing for family is the deepest and most fundamental void in her heart." This void may seem harmless now, and could even be a driving force for her to become stronger. However, if it is left unaddressed and allowed to exist, it will one day become a fatal weakness. Once this weakness is exploited to attack her, all the strength she has built up could crumble in an instant.

"Hmm... So, host, you think it's better to have a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one, right?" the system asked.

“That’s right, that’s exactly it.” Lius nodded, his voice incredibly firm. “So now… it’s understandable that I’m personally reopening this wound for her, even though it will cause her immense pain and shock in the short term, and may even plunge her into confusion and chaos. But…” He raised his head, his deep eyes gleaming with a profound understanding of human nature and absolute confidence.

“I know Helen and I believe in her spirit. She is far more resilient than she imagines herself to be. This pain will not break her; instead, it will make her stronger. That is what I trust.”

"Become stronger?"

"There's another point. This process might not be as bad as you think, Miss System. If I follow my own plan, it might lead to a fairly good outcome."

"Ok?"

Faced with Lius's confident and mysterious words, Miss System slightly lowered her eyes, successfully arousing her strong curiosity.

"A good ending? What makes you so confident, host..." She looked at Lius with a hint of curiosity in her voice, "Even for you, host, achieving all those things you just mentioned might not be an easy task, would it?"

“It won’t be easy, but it’s not impossible.” Leus smiled mysteriously. “Oh?”

This feigned mysterious attitude completely ignited the burning curiosity within the system. "So...host...what exactly do you want to do?"

She leaned down, bringing her delicate little face close to Lius's, her bright eyes sparkling with a thirst for knowledge as dazzling as stars.
