After the closing of the military award and decoration ceremony, Bobby asked those soldiers who wished to shift their homes and families to his new city to first apply to the Senior officer announcer within three days.
Later, he learned his name was Mr. Flint.
"Sir, you coming out to help voluntarily means a lot to me," Bobby said, beaming.
"Eh, don't think like that. I'm just helping myself and I'll take this as curry-favoring our new city lord. Hahaha.." Senior Officer Flint said, chuckling while waving his hand as if it was nothing to brag about. "Instead, it should be me thanking you, City Lord."
"Then I'll leave the screening test in your excellent hand. Also, announce through the public media that any people within the territories of our Blue Lagoon Unit can apply too." Bobby requested.
Then he excused himself from the hall after giving a final military salute to Flint.
Bobby went directly toward his lodging quarter.
He spent the whole day cultivating the Origin Chi using the New Lightning Cultivation technique he designed. Exactly as he thought, the cultivation in this exoplanet yields over 5 times more than on Dwarka planet.

"Hell no! Who do you think I'm? Mother Teresa? Mahatma Gandhi... No, it's just to leave a good impression on my soon-to-be citizens." replied Bobby with a smile.
"Oh, I guess that. But, wow, simply Woah! The speech you gave when you were standing at the podium is unparalleled, outstanding, and exceptionally touching. For a moment, my heart skipped a bit, and thought you were already one of them." And Cynthia heaved a long sigh.
The next day, when he was undertaking his katana practice inside the training room.
Suddenly, a grumbling male voice yelled out. "Loki, Loki Bradworth, come out!"
"Wake up and greet your uncle, Tim Bradworth."
Five minutes passed. Despite that, no one came out or even replied to his call.
Knock! Knock!....
He began knocking rapidly on the door.
Then the door of the house opened with a creak and Bobby, who was still in disguise as Loki, stepped out of the house.
He saw five youths standing in front of his door. All of them wore nobleman's full set gowns with the family crest of the Bradworth, which was the design of the red flame.
On the back was a male angel who seemed to be in his early 20s. He had green hair and currently he was sitting on the waiting seat while glancing up at the sky dreamily.
'Oh, so, this must be Loki's so-called uncle Tim Bradworth.' Bobby reminded himself in his mind.
With a thought, he activated his ocular technique, 'Devil's Eye' and his eyes scintillated in purple for a moment and returned to his normal blue eyes. Then he used X-ray vision and began scanning each of their bodies.
A familiar ringing sound chimed in his head and a new notification regarding the stats of the five angel youths popped up in his mind.
Bobby found that other than the leader of this bunch, the green-lock youth sitting in the waiting seat, all of their energy levels were at level 30. And the green hair youth had an energy level at level 31.
"What're you waiting for? Bow, you disrespectful idiot! Have you forgotten to even greet us after achieving a minor achievement?" One youth yelled as he eyed him.
Bobby didn't reply, as he still kept observing their intention for their presence here.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yeah, have you forgotten those beatings? If you do, then we would love to leave some marks on your tender skin as a token of remembrance so that you can know your place. Hey, why are you still gawking like that? Kneel!" another youth added, threateningly.
Finally, the green-lock youth who had been glancing in the empty azure blue sky heaved a long sigh and turned his head, finally giving his attention to Bobby.
"Can you guys shut up!? And for Jove's sake, stop harassing my dear nephew. He's now a high-profile person with the title of a Nobleman of his own and in addition, he's the current Chief's candidate for this term's trial…" Tim Bradworth, the green-lock youth scolded his lackeys and then glanced at Bobby and said with a jovial smile. "Loki, why are you standing there like a statue? Come-come, have a seat here? It's been 5 years and I think we have a lot to catch up to."
Since he didn't inherit the memories of the already deceased Loki, Bobby didn't really know who they were, but after this small interaction, he came to realize these were a group of bullies from the Bradworth family.
And having a fair share of the experience of his own with the bullies back on the earth, his first thought was to beat the hell out of these bunches. And also he had this sudden powerful urge to kill all of them.
Instead of acting out on his impulse, he suppressed the urge deep inside and spoke, all beaming as he devised an evil plan in his head. "Oh, it's my good uncle Tim. It's been years. Hope everything is well with you… If people see me not welcoming my dear uncle, then I'll become a mere joke on the whole Blue Lagoon premises. And it's a hot day today. Why don't you come in first? I'll prepare refreshments for all of you, too."
He then opened the door wide and gestured his hands elegantly, welcoming them inside with a smile plastered on his face.
"Hmm, you seem to be different somehow." Tim Bradworth said, glancing at his face for a few seconds, and walked inside the room.
And his four lackeys from the Bradworth family entered as well, passing by Bobby while looking at him fiercely.
Bobby also stepped inside and before he shut the door, he scanned the neighbors using his X-ray visions and closed it with a grin on his face as he saw that not a soul was around.
