I died during childbirth and finally escaped the ABO world. But seven years later, the System forcibly recalled me. Waking up to see that familiar face, I cursed out loud: "System, are you crazy? You want me to conquer Julian Blackwood again?" Before the System could reply, the seven-year-old kid suddenly spoke: "Papa?" 1 I woke up in a dilapidated warehouse. Staring at the kid tied to a chair—who looked exactly like a miniature Julian Blackwood—I fell into silence. The last time I transmigrated into this world, my mission was to raise the villain, Julian, into an upstanding citizen. Julian was seven then. At an age where even dogs would detest him, I raised him like a puppy. Fortunately, Julian was obedient. He had zero villain potential. The System condemned me daily for ruining the villain. I dismissed it, saying the System just didn't understand. There are many types of villains. Mine was just the sunny, cheerful kind. Later, Julian was reclaimed by his powerful family. He climbed from the bottom to the pinnacle of power. The day he took full control of the Blackwood empire, he said he wanted to repay me. That day, he tricked me into the bedroom. Only then did I realize I hadn't raised a puppy, but a wolf cub. After that, our relationship became increasingly unhealthy. By the time I realized what was happening, I was pregnant with his child. I didn't understand this world well. I always thought betas couldn't get pregnant. But on the day of delivery, I died on the operating table due to complications. Thinking about repeating everything made my head ache. "System, are you mute? Speak! Why rewind the plot again!" The System didn't respond, continuing to play dead. Just then, the sound of the door opening came from behind. 2 I turned towards the sound. Several burly men in ski masks appeared behind me. "Boss, this kid didn't lie. His old man really sent a hundred million." I froze, wondering where Julian got an "old man." He only had a grandfather. If we're talking seniority, I count as half a dad to him. But I definitely don't have a hundred million. "Who is his dad?" I asked. "Julian Blackwood, the head of the Blackwood Group." I looked back at the kid tied to the chair, the corner of my mouth twitching. The kid's gaze landed on me. His eyes held a calmness and composure that didn't belong to his age. So this is Julian's cub... No wonder they look so alike. If my child had survived, he would probably be this big too, right? Seven years ago, in the operating room, the doctor asked Julian whether to save the adult or the child. Julian's eyes were crimson, and without a hint of hesitation, he said: "Save the adult." Unfortunately, in the end, neither survived. I stared numbly at the child. In the years I was gone, Julian lived his life well. I should be relieved. But for some reason, I felt a suffocating tightness in my chest. It wasn't until a voice sounded in my ear again that I snapped back to reality. "Boss, do we kill the hostage?" "What?" I looked at the men in front of me in disbelief. "Julian is a madman, he's not easy to deal with! If we release the kid, he definitely won't let us go." I was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "You guys take the money and leave first. I'll handle the aftermath." Their eyes lit up, calculation written all over their faces. I sneered internally, knowing they wouldn't refuse. After everyone left. I picked up a knife and walked up to the kid. The kid clearly heard our conversation. Yet he showed no panic. He looked at me calmly, his eyes empty and cold, as if he disregarded life and death. That's the state of someone who has lost the will to live. A kid under ten, actually doesn't want to live? Bone-chilling cold instantly spread through my body. I used the knife to cut the ropes binding his hands and feet. Just then, the System's voice rang in my head. [Congratulations Host! You saved Julian's son! This is yours and Julian's child! Hurry and take the child to meet Julian!] The System's voice made my heart tremble violently. But soon, I regained my calm. Ignoring the System, I stared straight at the kid in front of me. "Hey, call your dad and tell him to pick you up." [Host! You should personally send him back! That way you can see Julian!] I turned a deaf ear to the System, reaching out to take off my mask. When my vision cleared, I saw the kid staring at me in a daze. "Pa... Papa." His voice trembled. I frowned impatiently. "Right, ask your dad to pick you up... never mind, I'll take you away from here first." [System: Host! Don't you want a family reunion! Don't you want to see Julian?] It's not that I don't want to see Julian, but that I can't. "See him? And let you guys hurt him again?" [System: Ah... this time is different!] No matter how the System explained. I pretended not to hear. Back then, Julian didn't turn dark according to the plot. The world line couldn't advance. So the Systems used my death to make Julian turn dark. I raised Julian myself. I understand him. If I were to describe my relationship with Julian later on, it would be like chaining a mad dog. After getting together, I confessed to him that I wasn't from this world. I told him the System promised that after successfully conquering him, I could choose to stay or leave. Those years of being together. I had long developed different feelings for Julian. So I had long dismissed the idea of leaving. But Julian began to become paranoid about gains and losses. Once in the middle of the night, I got up to drink water because I was thirsty. Julian thought I had disappeared. He searched for me like crazy. Later, to comfort him. I agreed to chain myself up at night when sleeping. But Julian still didn't close his eyes all night, just staring at me. Such a paranoid person. I know what he will become after I leave. I cannot control my life and death. But at least I know how to avoid hurting him again. So I won't go see him. I opened the car door and put the child inside. While buckling the seatbelt for the child, I asked him: "What's your name?" "Lucien Blackwood." I lowered my eyelids and let out a short, light laugh. "How cliché." 3 Lucien sat in the passenger seat, silently observing me. When the car got on the main road, he spoke. "Uncle, take me here. I'll have someone pick me up again." Lucien said, changing the destination on the GPS. The destination wasn't far, less than half an hour away. It was a villa in the suburbs. After parking, I hesitated. I was afraid of meeting Julian here. Lucien spoke at the right time: "My dad said he won't be here for another hour. Uncle, can you stay with me for a while?" Lucien looked at me with puppy eyes, pleading. My heart softened, and I agreed. So I let Lucien hold my hand and walked into the villa. He led me to a room, saying in a childish voice as we walked: "Uncle looks a lot like someone I know." Lucien's voice was light, but it carried a chilling coldness. "Uncle has a generic face, that's why." Lucien glanced at me with a half-smile. "Then Uncle has a good-looking generic face, just like my dad." I looked down at Lucien, feeling a bit melancholy. I couldn't see the vitality a seven-year-old should have in him. I slowly squatted down and rubbed his head. "Is your dad... good to you?" Lucien's pupils trembled slightly. He looked at me deeply, and after a long time, he revealed a weird smile. My hand froze in mid-air, my back going numb. Just then, the System's voice suddenly rang out. [System: Host run! Run! Your cub is a little psycho.] "Who are you calling a psycho? You're a psycho! Your whole family is psycho! How could my cub..." Before I could finish my retort. A crisp sound of a metal buckle came from my neck. I froze in place, looking at Lucien in confusion. I saw Lucien showing a very aggrieved look. He gently wrapped his arms around my neck and rested his head on my shoulder. "Uncle, stay and be my Daddy." I pushed Lucien away and tugged at the metal collar on my neck. "What is this thing? Take it off me." Lucien stood there expressionlessly, looking at me with a distant gaze. Suddenly, a current surged from the collar. The massive electric shock numbed my whole body. I collapsed to the ground, powerless. Lucien walked to my side and squatted down, reaching out to stroke my face gently. "If Dad sees someone impersonating Daddy again, he'll kill you. This time I definitely won't let Dad succeed. I'm protecting you." Lucien said, revealing an innocent smile. "No one will find you here. You can just stay and be my Daddy!" With that, he stood up and left the room. I lay on the floor, taking a long time to calm down. "Dog System... come out and explain to me." 4 "This is completely upside down! Where in the world does a son imprison his father? System! Speak!" The System spoke timidly: [System: Since you died, Julian's darkness value has skyrocketed, affecting the balance of the entire world. We had no choice but to keep sending different conquerors to reduce his darkness value, but...] "But it didn't work, right?" I pinched my temples irritably. Julian has been paranoid since childhood, and he won't trust others easily. "Then what's the deal with Lucien?" [System: After you died, Julian devoted himself to work and rarely cared about Lucien. Lucien has only seen you in photos. Because he was young, he has no memory of living with you, so he became the breakthrough point for the conquerors...] All the strength in my body seemed to be drained in an instant. I sat paralyzed on the ground. The System hesitated for a while before continuing: [System: Julian hated that he always recognized the wrong person. Several times, he executed conquerors who looked very much like you in front of him...] "Madman... how could he do that in front of a child." I clenched my fists, nails digging deep into my palms, but I couldn't feel the pain. [System: So Host, hurry up and reunite with them! Save this world!] "Sick! You guys killed me, and now you want my help." The System played dead again and stopped talking. I lay dejectedly on the bed. Thinking maybe I should confess my identity to Lucien. Tell him, I am his biological father? I closed my eyes thinking, and immense exhaustion swept over me. I accidentally fell asleep. When I woke up at night, in the dim room, a furry head was lying by my bed. Lucien was looking at me with a serious face. Funnily enough, contrasting with his serious expression was the pink plush bunny pajamas he was wearing. There were two bunny ears on the hood of the pajamas. I remembered when Julian was still young. One year for his birthday, I gave him a pink bunny plushie as tall as him. Whether Julian liked that gift or not, I wasn't too sure. Anyway, I liked it. Later when sleeping, there was a bunny between Julian and me. I gradually liked sleeping holding that bunny. But soon, the bunny disappeared. But Julian got a set of pink bunny pajamas. Every day when sleeping, he insisted on wearing these pajamas to squeeze into the same bed with me. I groggily reached out and tugged at Lucien's bunny ears. "Did your dad buy you these clothes?" "I bought them myself." Lucien's voice paused, then continued: "Dad likes sleeping holding a bunny plushie, but he has never hugged me..." I stopped moving and scrutinized Lucien's face. The child's round eyes were misty at some point. I sighed helplessly, pulled him into the blanket, and wrapped my arms around him. Lucien's eyes flashed with astonishment, but he still obediently let me handle him. "Lucien Blackwood, do you know my name?" Lucien lifted his head from my arms. "My name is Caleb." Lucien's eyes gradually dimmed. I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart. Julian probably never told him my name. "I am your other dad." Lucien looked at me calmly. There was no surprise or joy as I expected. He rested his head on my chest, his soft voice carrying a hint of coldness. "Uncle, you are the lousiest of all the conquerors." "You must, must not be found by Dad, or you'll die miserably..." It's over. Lucien completely doesn't believe me. I sat up abruptly from the bed, pinching Lucien's face. "Believe me for once! I really am your dad! You are my biological son!" Lucien looked at me with a cold face. Then nodded perfunctorily: "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "No! You..." Just then, the deafening roar of a helicopter came from outside the window. Lucien's face instantly turned pale. He panicked: "Oh no, Dad found us. If he finds you, he'll definitely kill you!" As soon as Lucien finished speaking, Julian's furious voice came from the hallway: "Lucien Blackwood, get out here!"
