Chapter 277: 170 “Simulation Ends” and
Forest Star, Clear Spring Forest, within a small courtyard.
What we’re calling a small courtyard is, in reality, incredibly luxurious and extravagant.
With the passing of more than a decade, Forest Star has become Milton Cheney’s personal sanctuary.
This place is a colonization star under the Federation, or, to be more precise, under the Interstellar Colonization Council.
But Milton Cheney is the sole authority on this colonization star.
To put it simply, no one else has any say on this star, except for him.
This restriction applies not only to the Azure Star Federation Assembly but equally to the Interstellar Colonization Council.
His power has expanded rapidly over the past decade, so much so that some people couldn’t bear witness to it any longer.
However, that’s not what Milton Cheney wanted.
Milton Cheney simply wanted to pursue efficiency, which would give him more time to explore the Brain Domain.
But the result is that, with the efficiency, his power rose significantly.
In other words, he wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength did not permit it.
In the courtyard, Milton Cheney was seated opposite Danny.
At this moment, Danny was gently massaging his temples, seemingly wanting to say something yet held back.
But this silent atmosphere didn’t last long.
Because after a while, Danny took the initiative to break the silence.
“Cheney, you should explain yourself.”
Danny spoke earnestly.
He knew Milton Cheney understood what he meant – he wanted an explanation.
After all, this matter was not trivial. It could potentially cause dissatisfaction among everyone and lead to the loss of his seat in the Interstellar Colonization Council.
Milton Cheney had already caused displeasure among some people in the Council.
“An obvious frame-up, I’m sure you can tell.”
“If it were me, Louis Linns wouldn’t have survived. I wouldn’t just erase his memory and spare his life, and then have you coming here to talk about it.” Milton Cheney responded without a flinch.
He knew very well that there were individuals in the Interstellar Colonization Council who were dissatisfied with him.
However, trying to affect him with this kind wily trick was impossible.
If Danny hadn’t sought him out repeatedly, Milton Cheney didn’t even feel there was a need for explanation.
He has been a part of the Interstellar Colonization Council for so long; it’s natural he wouldn’t sit idle.
“But Louis Linns accused you in the Council, you were absent at the time.”
“Even if I believe you were framed, the current situation is still unfavorable to you.”
“I inspected Linns’ memory. A chunk of his memory was indeed erased, even his Brain Domain was significantly damaged.”
Danny talked while making eye contact with Milton Cheney.
Milton’s gaze, however, remained unchanging, calm as a still pond.
“He actually agreed to have his memory checked?”
Milton Cheney asked, a little surprised.
They really spared no effort to frame him.
Allowing others to inspect one’s memory by opening up the Brain Domain is something no Mind Master could tolerate.
After all, a person’s memory could contain countless secrets.
To let others inspect one’s memory is like stripping oneself naked before another person.
Of course, it’s much more serious than that.
A Mind Master has extremely strong mental endurance.
Even if their memories were erased, they wouldn’t react like this.
Especially since this person is a member of the Interstellar Colonization Council, someone with high status.
“Exactly because of this, suspicion was directed at you,” Danny responded.
A Mind Master, by opening up his Brain Domain for another Mind Master to inspect, went against all logic unless it was to frame Milton Cheney.
And considering this person had neither grudge nor enmity against Milton Cheney, it seemed even more peculiar.
Even Danny, at this point, started to feel a flicker of suspicion that it might have been Milton Cheney’s doing.
“The memory you saw might have been a memory that someone had manually edited for him.”
“He only needs one person he trusts. After successfully framing me, that person can help modify his original memory.”
Milton Cheney said.
Just his hypothesis, but Milton Cheney felt it was highly likely.
He understood these people too well; there was no way they would let others inspect their true memories.
Ordinary people would never do that, let alone a Mind Master.
After his words fell, Milton Cheney spoke again:
“Of course, I also believe he could have been used by someone.”
“That person might not help him recover his memory afterward as that could leave traces.”
“Most likely, Louis Linns became a sacrificial pawn, and by sacrificing Linns, they aim to pull me down.”
Upon hearing this, Danny twitched in the corner of his eye as he looked at Milton Cheney.
This was too outrageous.
If it’s not for the fact that Milton Cheney was the one sitting in front of him, Imowing he wouldn’t joke about such serious matters, he’d think Milton Cheney was just trying to tell some story to amuse him.
“Your thinking is too simple.”
“Erasing memory is easy, but modifying memory is extremely difficult.”
“If someone’s entire memory were to be altered, that person would likely turn into an idiot; even Mind Masters are not exceptions.” “Even if they didn’t turn into an idiot, they’d still be left in a confused state.” Danny explained these matters to Milton Cheney.
However, when he finished speaking, Milton Cheney looked at him as if he were an idiot.
This made Danny slightly embarrassed. Did he say something wrong?
But he was sure what he said was correct.
“Who said anything about modifying all memories.”
“If all the memories were modified, aren’t you people smart enough to realize that?”
Milton Cheney said..
