The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7113

Chapter 7113: The Significance of a Tenth Birthday

Many people began to converge upon the central continent.

This was the site where the highlights of the birthday party would take place.

Most people remained ignorant about the significance of the pyramid structure and the hefty amount of hyper materials used to construct it all. They just found it pretty and interesting without putting any deeper thought behind its purpose and meaning.

Yet not everyone could be fooled so easily. A high number of elites attended the birthday party. They could spot the clues and string them together easily enough.

To those with the right knowledge, it became abundantly clear that the crystal pyramid was akin to a gigantic formation anchor!

What was its purpose?

Was this secretly a trap?

If not for the security guards approaching them and discreetly conveying the message that the Red Collective under the supervision of the Red Association was responsible for creating the crystal pyramid, numerous concerned people would have tried to call in help in case of trouble by this time!

Fortunately, most guests received enough reassurances to continue to take their assigned seats.

This entailed quite a climb to those who possessed greater status than the norm. The higher their prestige, the more they needed to climb to reach their places at the upper sections of the pyramid.

Whatever weirdness the Larkinsons had in store, it shouldn’t be too dangerous.

Even if it was, the groups that attended this event had already made the appropriate backup measures.

As people continued to arrive from the different continents and took their seats, the pyramid grew increasingly livelier.

Many of the arrivals ordered drinks, which were delivered from bots that emerged hidden entrances.

Close to the top of the crystal pyramid, many of the people here consisted of high-level VIPs and important acquaintances of the Larkinsons.

Aurelia and her siblings even reunited with some of their classmates back at the Joan Devos Elementary School.

Of course, these guests were all aware that the crystal pyramid possessed a lot of hidden depth.

It was only because they trusted in the integrity of the Larkinson Clan, the Red Association and the Red Collective that they had set aside their misgivings and chose to take their seats.

Both Ves and Gloriana had gathered together to see everyone coming together to witness their daughter’s biggest moment.

Aurelia currently stood at the highest layer, offering her an excellent view of the people standing or seated below. Lucky and Clixie flanked her as if they were fulfilling the duties of an honor guard.

"Meow."

"Miaow."

"She has grown so much." Gloriana wistfully said. "She used to be so small that I could effortlessly hold her in my arms. Now, she is about to embark on puberty, more advanced study and forming her own circle of friends."

"About that, have you thought about where we should enroll her next?" Ves quietly asked.

"I have not. We should wait until we obtain the results of the genetic aptitude test before making further considerations. Whatever the case, it has to be her decision, not ours." Gloriana insisted. "That does not stop us from making recommendations, but she should be allowed to make the final choice without any pressure. I do not want to compromise her enthusiasm towards her studies by forcing her to attend a school that is not within her consideration."

Ves looked mildly surprised. "I thought for sure you would insist on making this choice on her behalf."

She responded with a grim smile. "Is that what you think of me, Ves? That I am such an overbearing and controlling parent that I have to micromanage my daughter’s entire educational trajectory?"

"..."

Her expression softened. "You are not entirely wrong. I push hard because I care about our children. I do not want them to go astray or see them suffer and hurt because of the consequences of making the wrong decisions."

"You can’t keep that up forever, you know. Our children must have room to grow up and learn how to deal with responsibility themselves."

"That is one of the reasons why I will let Aurelia decide where she should study in the following years." Gloriana admitted. "Another reason is that she has grown remarkably quickly in both intelligence and wisdom. If she was a more typical 10-year old girl, I would have insisted on choosing her next school myself. That is not the case. I have raised Aurelia so well that she is more than capable of performing her own evaluation and drawing her own conclusion."

Though Gloriana sounded a bit self-aggrandizing, Ves happened to agree with her assessment.
