Chapter 839 - PantherBaby
"Mother, are we going to snatch those shares by force from those people you’re going to meet this afternoon?" Bacon asked, reminding her of their previous conversation.
"We’re not snatching by force," she replied.
Bacon’s tail drooped. "Oh."
"Snatching by force is stealing," Iris continued saying. "Stealing is a crime and we can’t do that openly."
"Then can we do it if it’s not openly?" Bacon asked next, his tail starting to swish in excitement.
Iris shook her head. "We’re not going to steal anything, Bacon."
"Oh." Bacon’s excited tail drooped again.
"But you’re right. If those shareholders refuse to sell their equity even after demanding a meeting with me in person today, then they’re just wasting my time and energy which I don’t have an abundance this time because of my pregnancy. I’m also lacking in patience right now when it comes to acquiring more Long Industries shares. We may not steal but we can still use other methods to force them to sell. That’s all."
Bacon’s tail started rotating like a helicopter’s rotor blades. His excitement was clear in his tail even though his face looked bored as usual. "Mother, Bacon would like to help in this matter when you’re finished devising your plan."
"Oh oh oh! Ketchup wants to help Mommy, too! Meow~"
Iris chuckled at her AI children’s eagerness. "Alright, I will. Thank you, Bacon and Ketchup."
Bacon’s tail rotated faster. It was now a blur. Ketchup was also in a similar but more showy state of excitement. The white cat was jumping all around her little kitty brother.
Since they were talking about Long Industries, Iris remembered her deal with Long Jian. "In the meantime, I want the two of you to work together in searching for more clues to help free Zhu Ning from jail. Big Brother Jian has already done a lot to fulfill his part of the deal. I need to do my part as well."
"Okie dokie, Mommy! Ketchup is on it!"
"Bacon will do as Mother says."
Iris nodded and smiled at her two adorable cat AI children. "I’ll also work on it when I have time. Your dad doesn’t want me spending too much time inside our computer room without his supervision."
"Please rest, Mother, and leave this kind of work to this white lamebrain and I," Bacon said.
Iris scowled. "Put ’lamebrain’ in your bad words list. And call your sibling Big Sister Ketchup."
Bacon’s rotating tail stopped and drooped. "I’m sorry, Mother. Bacon is wrong. I’m sorry, Big Sister Ketchup."
"Bacon, you big meanie! Ketchup is always telling you to stop being a bad, naughty kitty and always listen to Mommy and Daddy! Meow~"
Iris sent Dom a meaningful look.
"No, boss! It’s definitely not me who taught Baby Bacon that bad word!" Dom then turned to Bacon. "Be honest, Baby Bacon. Tell your mommy that it’s not your handsome and beautiful Uncle Dom who taught you that word!"
"It’s not Uncle Dom who taught me that word, Mother," the black cat AI said obediently. "Bacon learned it from the Slippers Army."
"Ah! Ehehehe." Ketchup gave a guilty smile. "Mommy, the truth is that Ketchup recruited Little Brother Bacon to Black Star’s Slippers Army. Bacon is an excellent troll and is already popular in Mommy’s fan club. Meow~"
"Oh?" Iris raised an eyebrow in amused curiosity.
"But of course, the cute and mighty Ketchup is still the most popular. Well, second most popular actually. Uncle iEatSlippers is still the number 1 in the Slippers Army even though he’s not active anymore and is busy working at Mommy’s Planet Monkey. He holds a legendary position in the Black Stars because he’s the founder of Slippers Army. Meow~"
Iris nodded. Indeed, her fan club’s elite troll group, the Slippers Army, had become infamous because of the efforts of Wu Chen, a.k.a. iEatSlippers. It only became more powerful on the internet when her AI daughter, Ketchup, a.k.a. KittyBaby, joined. Now that her AI son also joined, she could only imagine the Slippers Army becoming even fiercer and more despicable in their trolling skills.
"What’s your username, Bacon?" she asked.
"PantherBaby," Bacon said, his tail swishing with pride. "Bacon chose it myself."
"Kyaaaaah! KittyBaby and PantherBaby! Our babies are super-duper to the highest level CUTE!!!" Dom threw each of the cats a flying kiss each.
Iris smiled. Indeed, their usernames were adorable. Nevertheless, she still reminded her AI children, "The two of you should keep an eye on each other whenever you’re roaming and playing around on the internet. Ketchup should already know how dangerous the web can be. Keep each other safe and call for me immediately if you encounter something that both of you can’t handle by yourselves."
"Aye aye, Mommy! Meow~"
"Bacon understands, Mother."
"And don’t always learn bad words from the Slippers Army or anywhere," Iris added. "I won’t ground you today, Bacon. Just be thankful that your dad isn’t here to hear what you said to your sister."
"Thank you, Mother. Bacon will do my best not to do it again."
Iris nodded, satisfied. Then she used Little Liwei as a pillow while continuing to massage her aching temples. "Go chat quietly with each other. I’ll sleep for a bit. Wake me up when we reach home."
As soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep without hearing their replies.
