Chapter 172

"Looks like that rebellious son is going to be cured." Kevin said somewhat unhappily, "This doctor is really no good."

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.

Kevin seemed to have missed all the shots, especially those of the doctor. He didn't realize that the doctor was actually MEI. And World Serpent intentionally didn't tell him either.

So Kevin hasn't noticed anything suspicious so far.

However, Seele noticed it.

Mr. Kevin.

Something's wrong with you!

"What a coincidence," Seele said. "Bronya just recovered, and you showed up."

"Indeed," Kevin admitted. "This doctor needs a good talking-to. And this girl too, she needs a good talking-to!"

"This doctor needs to understand what kind of people are not worth saving!"

"You're just a doctor, not a saint."

Kevin didn't need many reasons to express his aversion to the Soul of the Underworld.

Wasn't it enough that Bronya injured his beloved Mei? No matter how good the reason, it's not a reason for you to lay a hand on my lovely Mei!

I can hate you as long as you lay a hand on my MEI.

If someone hates you, then anyone who's good to you deserves to be dealt with by Kevin!

Kevin is here to be a stepfather, not a biological father!

"Mr. Kevin," Seele said, somewhat angrily, "You've gone too far. Bronya is innocent. The root of all this is Mother Cocolia."

"If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have come to this."

"Can't you just leave Bronya alone?"

"Cocolia?" Kevin seemed to be on a completely different wavelength from Seele. He nodded and said, "I'll remember that name."

"We will absolutely not let this woman named Cocolia get away with it."

"..."

Seele didn't want to speak; she had given up hope of Kevin's stubbornness.

It seems Kevin won't listen to anything I say.

And Kevin missed out on everything...

Oh right?!

Seele suddenly realized that since Kevin was so stubborn, then let him be stubborn! Having someone like him as Bronya's stepfather would be an absolute disaster!

How could such a thing happen?

"Yes, this doctor is absolutely infuriating." Seele chimed in, echoing Kevin's sentiment. "He needs to be taught a lesson, doesn't he, Mr. Kevin?"

"Hmm." Kevin didn't care why Seele suddenly agreed with him.

"Do you know?" Seele said, "This doctor is your strongest rival. He has taken over your dear Mei's heart and soul."

"The equipment he's using now was manufactured using the equipment that he ordered Sister MEI to bring from the Jackal's new laboratory."

"What?!" Kevin exclaimed in surprise.

He immediately turned the camera to focus on the Jackal.

At this moment, the Jackal's face was filled with despair, her eyes with grief, and she opened her mouth but could not utter a sound. She seemed to be silently recounting those atrocities!

Her lab is gone again.

"This guy..." Kevin said with a cold expression.

Jackal was, after all, his subordinate; it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to show some concern. Besides, Jackal was injured because of this doctor, so it seemed he'd have to hold a grudge against him again.

But since it concerns MEI, Kevin has to get serious.

"How is this possible?!" Kevin exclaimed in disbelief. "How could this guy who looks like a frog possibly become my lovely Mei's sweetheart?"

"It's probably because you're not here," Seele said. "Women are fickle creatures."

"Although the Soul of the Underworld Doctor cannot match you in any way."

"But he cured Bronya."

"Women are inherently gentle, but become strong when they become mothers."

"For her own child," Seele said seriously, "She'd do anything."

"As you know, whether she's an undercover agent or a traitor, Sister Bronya is no longer of any value to Schicksal. Why would Schicksal send its best Soul of the Underworld to heal someone who is worthless?"

Oh right, how come Kevin didn't think of that?

Otto doesn't seem like a kind person; he would certainly be ruthless in dealing with traitors and undercover agents.

Then why did Otto allow the Soul of the Underworld to perform the treatment?

"I heard that Sister Mei has a reincarnation who is Kallen," Seele said. "Kallen is Otto's fiancée, and Sister Mei, Kallen, and Mrs. Aleshkevich are all very beautiful."

"Which of Mei's reincarnations isn't a top-tier beauty?"

"This doctor is not only skilled, but also has a great fondness for beautiful women."

That's right.

Kevin had noticed it already; although he agreed to treatment, this guy would just sit there watching that Playboy whenever he had free time. He's practically a pervert!

"I'd rather sacrifice myself than lose my daughter's life," Seele said. "What can't I do?"

"No! My Mei! My Mei!" (Groundhog-like scream)

"If you don't hurry up."

"My MEI!" (Groundhog-like scream)

"All you can do here is wail, you loser!"

"No! I'm not a loser!" (Groundhog-like scream)

Canghai City, Fourth Military Hospital.

"An unfamiliar ceiling." Bronya slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was an unfamiliar ceiling. Bronya stared blankly at the ceiling.

It seems I'm all right now.

Why is this happening?

"You don't seem to understand what's going on," a rather indifferent voice said from the side.

A woman wearing glasses.

Her distinctive white coat is exactly the same as Mei's.

It's Mei, Mei sister's mother. And also her own mother.

"If you're awake, you should be somewhat responsive," MEI said, adjusting her glasses. "I feel like I've done a good job repairing your brain; you won't have amnesia, right?"

"No." Bronya struggled to sit up in bed.

But the feeling of weakness all over her body prevented her from taking any action.

"Don't try it." MEI sat down on Bronya's bedside and said, "The chip has reconstructed the brain functions that were replaced by the chip. Without this chip, you will need to readjust to your body."

"The feeling now is very different from before, without the corresponding rehabilitation training."

"You can't get up."

Bronya listened to MEI's advice and stopped trying to do it.

"What are you thinking?" MEI asked, arms crossed. "Don't you trust me?"

Bronya didn't know what MEI was talking about; she looked at MEI with her innocent big eyes.

"I mean the chip," MEI said. "Give me a little time, and I can crack the program. Although I certainly didn't anticipate these things."

"But aren't you moving way too fast?"

"They didn't give me even the slightest chance."

"Because I don't want to hurt Mom," Bronya said.

"I..." Mei wanted to retort, not wanting to hurt anyone. But I'm not your mother!

MEI wanted to say it, but she didn't.

"I know," MEI said, "But I have a better solution."

"Bronya knows," Bronya said, "But there's no time, so this is the best solution."

"What's the best solution?" Mei asked, sounding a little angry. "Haven't you thought about what would happen if I couldn't cure you?"

"I don't know," Bronya said, shaking her head. "But there's no time."

"Bronya just needs to know that it won't hurt Mom."

"And Bronya has already hurt Mom once."

"Bronya cannot forgive himself for what he did."

"Bronya doesn't want to see her mother hurt!"

"Bronya cannot forgive."

Chapter 198 Kallen Fantasy

Bronya has entered the recovery period.

After explaining some things to be careful about during the recovery period Soul of the Underworld left.

However, they did not take the equipment with them.

So the device was quickly taken away by a research institution in China. Their plan was to disassemble it and study it to see how it worked and whether it could be replicated. Even if it couldn't be replicated, they wanted to see what technologies they could learn from it.

As a result, the research institute soon encountered the same problem as the Jackal.

That is.

How exactly is this thing used? How does it work? After further investigation, numerous questions arose, such as "This works?" and "This is possible?" These questions were so numerous that they made the researchers question their own existence. They simply couldn't understand how this thing was used, because no matter how they looked at it, it seemed like a pile of electronic waste.

If a researcher were to create something like this, they would definitely be fired.

But the reality is that this thing works.

Yes, it's truly a miracle.

As for the series of problems brought about by this miracle, they have nothing to do with the Soul of the Underworld!

In any case, to Soul of the Underworld, this thing was just a disposable item; backup materials would be supplied continuously. He didn't lack these materials. Soul of the Underworld didn't care at all, and even wanted to interview the logistics captain Jackal, about his insights on logistics management.

Of course, he wouldn't be that bored.

After completing his medical treatment, he returned to the Hyperion and resumed his career as a cleaner.

Everything seems to have finally returned to normal.

Work, rest, research—a monotonous routine.

Nothing has changed.

Until Li Pu discovered something.

What are you doing?

Li Pu caught a certain AI idiot slacking off somewhere in the Hyperion.

"No! It's nothing?!"

Ai-chan, caught slacking off, was visibly flustered. She covered her screen and nervously asked, "Um, how did you get in here?"

"This place is private space."

At least that's how it is for Ai-chan, even though she created this private space on her own initiative.

"I guess it's because I have higher privileges," Li Pu said, not seeming to care much. "You look like you're playing some kind of game."
