Ryoma Got Played / Father-in-Law Rescue Plan

"So, after all this time, I'm just a useless piece of trash used to lull this little owl into a false sense of security?"

Kevin jumped onto the chair, patted Toda Hirano on the shoulder familiarly, and responded with a smile.

"Look, I have no choice. Now that I've discovered her little secret, I can't just ignore it, can I?"

"And as far as I know, no matter whose house they're sent to, it's not as open and less guarded as the summer camp..."

Toda Hirano twitched his lips, grabbed a chocolate pie, and took a bite in frustration.

"Hey, saying it so bluntly is really hurting my pride..."

Kevin took a bite of the pie, rested his chin on his hand, and whispered words of comfort.

"If you're asking for a favor, go ask Jill for it; you won't lose out..."

"Furthermore, if all goes well, I'll figure out this girl's motives and then leave Tina here as your apprentice and assistant, how about that?"

"I heard from Jill that because of your lack of talent, you were tortured by those freaks from the Foundation in the shooting field, leaving you with some psychological trauma..."

"Now, the chance to get revenge has arrived..."

Toda Hirano listened intently, her eyes lighting up. She immediately reached out and gave the boy a high five.

"Make a deal!"

Chapter 504, Section 531: The Raiden Ryoma That Was Tricked

As night deepens, in the sterile room of ME Company's research institute, far out in Tokyo, there is no one around.

Raiden Ryoma, dressed in a white lab coat, sat at his workbench, waiting patiently with his chin propped up on his right hand. He looked exhausted; the intense work was taking its toll.

Therefore, the somewhat down-on-his-luck president of ME Company gulped down a cup of cold, strong coffee to perk himself up, and finally made it to the moment when the centrifuge stopped spinning.

Raiden Ryoma took out two glass test tubes containing purplish-red and blue-white liquids respectively, breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out an energy comparison analysis chart from the printer connected to the main control computer.

After repeatedly confirming the data, the president of ME Company couldn't help but look grim. He took a deep breath and typed a line in the experimental record.

"Based on multiple comparative experiments, including the 168th, 293rd, and 417th, the actual composition of Mako Energy is questionable... Large-scale use makes it impossible to confirm whether it will be harmful to the environment or human health..."

"The accelerated spread of Crystallization Sickness in the mining area can be presumed to be related to the misuse of Mako Energy... It is recommended that the [Anti-Entropy] science team immediately intervene in the investigation!"

After Raiden Ryoma finished typing the last character, he immediately used his permissions to hide and back up the file to the USB drive he was carrying. The haggard man let out a long sigh.

Sure enough, these two are not the same substance at all!

I knew it. Even [Anti-Entropy], with its collection of such brilliant minds, couldn't harmlessly purify Honkai energy from the Honkai Crystal.

How could Schrodinger Company, which has only risen to prominence in the last decade, possibly possess such outstanding energy technology?

It seems my guess was right; the extraction of Mako Energy doesn't follow the path of purifying Honkai energy! At least not entirely!

In short, there are definitely some unknown shady dealings within Schrodinger Company!

His confidence stemmed from the fact that former leader Welt Yang and former head of the scientific faction, Lisser Albert Einstein, had placed their hopes for leading [Anti-Entropy] on him and secretly granted him the [Dead Sea Scrolls], secret documents from the previous generation researching the harmless development of Honkai energy.

But fate had other plans. In the field of scientific research, he was indeed far superior to that Vixen, Cocolia.

But to rise to the top, one needs to be shrewd and skillful...

From ascending to the throne to falling to the bottom and barely surviving, after experiencing a wave of excruciating pain, Raiden Ryoma had to admit that he was indeed not cut out for it.

Left with no other choice, Raiden Ryoma retreated to Tokyo and, relying on his talent, began to study the technology for developing Honkai energy crystals contained in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Hopefully, one day, things will turn out well. Not to mention bringing down Cocolia, at least he won't have the face to face the seniors who placed high hopes on him.

After seven or eight years of dedicated research, and having exhausted the political assets bestowed upon him by Welt and others, Raiden Ryoma finally made a breakthrough in the technological development of civilian applications of Honkai energy a few months ago.

A week ago, he finally succeeded in extracting the first tube of purplish-red liquid energy from the Honkai energy crystal.

Out of curiosity, the president of ME Company spent a lot of money to buy several bottles of blue and white Mako serum from the black market and began to conduct numerous experiments, comparing the two side by side.

The result surprised him greatly. This so-called Mako Energy, purified from the Honkai energy crystal mines in the ancient ruins, seemed to be fundamentally different from the Honkai energy raw liquid he had developed.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of internal data, he could only draw a general conclusion and was unable to determine the exact source of the Mako Energy.

Hopefully, after receiving this information, Cocolia will put aside her prejudices and conduct some investigation into Schrodinger Company's Mako Energy.

Raiden Ryoma sighed slightly, then shook his head. That kind of ambitious woman, if she didn't come to crush him, but instead eliminated him completely, was already showing the kindness of a bodhisattva.

Currently, [Anti-Entropy] is in the overseas expansion phase, Cocolia probably has no interest in shrinking its influence to threaten Schrodinger Company's interests.

Mako Energy... Crystallization Sickness... Gastrea... Why do I always feel uneasy? In a daze, Raiden Ryoma seems to see an unknown shadow looming over Tokyo.

Feeling a bit suffocated, Raiden Ryoma got up from his chair, walked out of his private laboratory, and drew back the curtains, preparing to breathe in some fresh air for the stale room.

Anyway, at least there's a result... I should spend more time with Mei from now on; it's been a long time since my daughter and I sat down to eat together...

As Raiden Ryoma drifted into reverie, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. He felt a mixture of relief and guilt towards his somewhat estranged daughter.

"Bang!"

At that moment, the sharp sound of bulletproof glass shattering exploded in his ears. Startled awake, Raiden Ryoma looked at the protective barrier with slight spiderweb-like cracks, and immediately turned pale, crouching down behind the wall.

Large-caliber sniper rifles! Luckily, all the glass surrounding the lab is [Anti-Entropy]'s latest product.

Let alone a conventional 12.7mm bullet, even a depleted uranium armor-piercing round would need some effort to break through the bulletproof glass in front of him. So for now, he is safe.

Moreover, having been in [Anti-Entropy] for so long, Raiden Ryoma is still a force to be reckoned with, and he still has a few trump cards up his sleeve.

Therefore, the man crawled under the desk to the miniature control panel, inserted the key, and used the central computer to input instructions into some "stock" in the basement.

"Activate Titan Tactical Mech! Search for targets, calculate ballistics, and begin annihilation of the intruders!"

As the dark hatches tore through the camouflage netting, dozens of Tactical Mech began to converge on the distant sniper position.

After landing at the precise location, the two Titan Tactical Mech reached out to capture the figure lying on the ground, but their massive metal arms passed right through the figure without any hindrance.

Oh no! Optical Camouflage!

Raiden Ryoma, observing the Titan Tactical Mech's operation through his microcomputer, paled upon seeing the situation and hurriedly tried to recall his personal mechanical guard.

However, it was too late. As the afterimage shattered, the standing sniper rifle fell, and the surrounding grass made a "beep beep" sound. Then, dozens of silver-white spheres were launched into the air and exploded with a bang.

EMP bomb! Raiden Ryoma slammed his fist on the table in frustration as he stared at the main control computer screen filled with static.

If I had known better, I shouldn't have deployed all the Titan Tactical Mech to that area. I should have used a vanguard approach to explore, just in case. I still suffered from a lack of experience!

Fortunately, the defenses here are impregnable, almost completely sealed off, except...

... the exhaust fan above...

Before Raiden Ryoma could even begin to console himself, the special alloy vent was pierced by a laser cutter.

"I can spare your life, but please hand over the documents and samples of the Honkai energy purification technology..."

The blonde girl, her expression aloof, raised her pistol and jumped down from the ventilation duct, slowly approaching the Raiden Ryoma behind the desk.

Even more critically, six spherical "Xianfeilder" reconnaissance aircraft, equipped with laser emitters, surrounded the area from different directions.

PS1: Thank you to readers @{"reader_id":"581841","reader_name":"OREsama"} for 18 blades, @{"reader_id":"263842","reader_name":"Uesugi Futaro"} for 60 blades, and @not Shana's Shana-kun for 11 blades to urge me to update.

I caught a cold today (not pneumonia), and the medicine isn't helping much. I need to rest more, so I'll only update twice for now. I'll update four more tomorrow if I feel better. Sorry, the temperature is low up north, and my immune system isn't very strong.

PS2: As for Zack from Final Fantasy, he also has another girlfriend— Cissnei. If you're interested, you can look it up yourself; it will be revealed later.

PS3: Regarding Shin Kiana's personality, due to the reorganization of the St. Freya Academy, only Cecilia possesses leadership abilities. She basically has no time to take care of children. Therefore, to understand why Shin Kiana isn't elegant enough, ask Siegfried, the stay-at-home dad, and also refer to a certain K423 who has gone astray.

PS4: Most importantly, I wish everyone a peaceful and happy Lantern Festival, that all illnesses will soon disappear, and please stay safe.

Chapter 505, Section 532: The Father-in-Law Rescue Plan

"Bang! Bang!" Two Exploding Spider Mech that burst out from the gap were shot apart by "Xianfeilder" in mid-air, and a series of destructive methods such as pressurization, high heat, and fragmentation swept around.

The Raiden Ryoma, cowering under the protective shield, hadn't even caught its breath when a high-frequency vibrating dagger, accompanied by a soft buzzing sound, sliced through the flames and pierced the shield.

But before Tina could make any further moves, a rustling sound came from the ventilation vent above their heads again. A white-haired boy dressed in a shirt and shorts jumped down and rolled to close the distance.

The boy's hands, clad in black boxing gloves, moved with an elegant yet cunning grace, swiftly flipping and grasping.

With masterful joint locks, he subdued Tina in just five moves, grabbed the little girl by the back of her neck, and moved closer to Raiden Ryoma.

"Luckily I arrived in time, Uncle..."

Raiden Ryoma recognized the child before him as a friend brought by his daughter, Raiden Mei. He breathed a sigh of relief, placed his hand on Kevin's, and struggled to his feet.

"This area has been exposed; it's not safe. Do you have a car?"

Kevin, carrying Tina, casually asked a question.

"Yes! In the underground parking garage! But I need a little time to bring some things first."

Raiden Ryoma nodded slightly, took out a key from the drawer, tossed it to the boy, and then turned and walked towards the laboratory.

However, the president of ME Company, who had just taken a step away, was pulled back to his original spot by Kevin, and the boy squinted and stared ahead.

The girl who had pounced down from the ventilation duct like a beast slowly stood up. Her silver hair, reflecting the light, and her white ruffled top paired with a black skirt gave her the appearance of a noblewoman.

Those distinctive ice-blue eyes radiated an intellectual glow, and the cross on his chest swayed slightly.

If it weren't for the four claws attached to the metal rod on the girl's wrist, with a thumb-extending ring at the base of the claws, its dark, sharp edge exuding a sense of danger, Kevin would have thought she was some lost young lady.

"You're quite popular, Uncle..."

Kevin shrugged, his expression mocking. To avoid any accidents, he reached out and stunned Tina beside him with an electric shock, then threw her into the arms of the Raiden Ryoma. He then slowly exhaled and stomped forward.

Immediately, the sounds of fists clashing against blades filled the air. This girl, who possessed both human intelligence and the madness of Beast, displayed extremely ruthless fighting techniques, clearly exhibiting the style of KGB military combat.

Gastrea Virus has the ability to fuse with the genes of other organisms and can transfer the abilities of the fused individual into the body of the Cursed Children. Judging from her movements and reaction speed, the girl in front of us should have fused with the genes of a large feline.

If the strength is equal, the opponent can basically only rely on dragging things out, because most of these predators are typical of those with explosive power but limited endurance.

However... what you're facing is... Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Moonfall Kick!

Inch-force, Chaotic Thunder!

After briefly probing his opponent's tactics, Kevin leaped into the air and swung his leg, using superhuman strength to kick the girl seven or eight meters away. Then, his fist, crackling with lightning, launched a powerful attack.

The tried-and-true Electrotherapy Great Method immediately made the mischievous child tremble violently. After several touches, his hair stood on end and his whole body was smoking. However, he only lasted a short while before he passed out.

Well, according to Gastrea standards, she's probably at Stage Four or Stage Five, at most an A-class Valkyrie. Is this the Russian representative who came to slack off? That's a bit weak.

Kevin dislocated the silver-haired loli's joints and casually tossed them to the Raiden Ryoma behind him, while he himself carried the more familiar Tina.

While the Inch Heart Fist is incredibly powerful, it also requires an extraordinary amount of energy, and it primarily relies on fist techniques, lacking the use of leg techniques.

Learning from Tifa perfectly compensated for two shortcomings in the Inch Heart Fist.

Moreover, he is now becoming increasingly adept at integrating the two styles of boxing. In particular, Kevin has mastered the "Chaotic Thunder" move to a high degree, thanks to the enhancement of his lightning abilities.

"Not planning to stay here overnight, are you? Let's go, Uncle."

Kevin waved his hand, tucked Tina under his arm, and led the way.

At this moment, Raiden Ryoma, looking somewhat bewildered, used his experience in raising daughters to pick up the silver-haired little girl in the most comfortable position and quickly followed.

To be honest, this girl's muscle density is quite terrifying. When he picked her up, she felt like a heavy block of iron. His arm almost broke from the weight of her as he walked from the lab to the door.

"Go around the fountain! It's just ahead!"

Guided by the Raiden Ryoma, Kevin pressed the garage door switch in the designated direction. With a series of mechanical scraping sounds, the steel-reinforced gate opened in two halves.

As the two walked onto the cobblestone path, Kevin led the way, carrying a suitcase, while Raiden Ryoma, holding the silver-haired little girl tightly, followed behind.

Due to limited physical strength, the researcher had to travel a long way and inevitably fell a little behind Kevin.

As the Raiden Ryoma passed by the pool, a blurry shadow burst open from underwater, revealing a 60cm-long Nihonium curved blade, which came close to the neck of this weakling.

"Smack!"

With a crisp snap of fingers, space visibly distorted, and a purplish-red bolt of lightning struck the attacker, who was dressed in black and waterproof clothing.

"Bang!"

The little girl, convulsing all over, fell straight down and floated on the water's surface, constantly blowing bubbles.

Immediately, guided by the boy's fingers, two streams of water surged upwards, enveloping the third attacker's body, and then the temperature plummeted, freezing into ice.

"She..."
