Father-in-Law Rescue Plan (Bonus Chapter) / Betraying Teammates? I'm an Expert
Sumire Muroto's smile was quite sly as she poured a glass for the two of them and handed it to them.
"Hmm, the authentic smell of US dollars..."
Kevin pretended to savor it carefully, uttering a rather vulgar remark, while CC beside him, with an elegant demeanor, was able to accurately guess the year and place of origin.
"Would you like something? I've tidied up a bit, I baked some apple pie..."
At this moment, Jill Hera, whose face was still somewhat pale, carried a tray and walked over gracefully. Despite her illness, she appeared very virtuous.
Kevin was still hungry because he had declined CC's order of sturgeon pizza for breakfast. So he eagerly grabbed a slice of apple pie, took a bite, and then wolfed it down, showing his approval of Jill Hera's cooking skills.
"How's the recovery going?"
After swallowing the pie with a sip of red wine, Kevin asked about Jill Hera's health.
"The trauma from the genetic tear hasn't fully healed yet, so I can't fight with people for the time being..."
Jill Hera clenched her pale fingers and replied regretfully that after spending so much time in the lab, her bones were starting to itch.
Just as everyone was chatting, a figure rushed into the basement, speaking urgently.
"Oh no! Uncle Ryoma has been taken away by the police!"
P. S.: I'll post two chapters first. I don't have time during the day, I'll be working overtime tonight, probably between 1 and 2 AM. There will be two more chapters to come.
Additionally, I'd like to clarify the author's views on Sino-Japanese relations; I actually quite agree with the opinion of a certain librarian.
"The Chinese people and the Japanese people are united, and have only one enemy: Japanese imperialism and the traitors to the Chinese nation."
In addition, it seems there's a new scoop about <Fascist Academy>. That jerk who likes to insert his own opinions seems to have Oldest One named a certain character "Explosive Heart," the name of a nuclear war memorial plaza in Japan.
So, when someone gets ruthless, they can even betray their own country; truly, one person dares to challenge and destroy four nations.
Chapter 517, Section 545: The Father-in-Law Rescue Plan (Bonus Chapter)
As expected, Raiden Ryoma is in trouble again with the economic scandal. After listening to Kiana's account, Kevin pressed his temples and groaned in Affliction.
"Before his uncle Ryoma was arrested, he left a message saying that he hoped you could protect Mei's safety closely during this special period."
Kiana took a sip of water, paused, and then reiterated the information completely, muttering to herself as she did so.
"Even something as simple as close protection, they can still..."
However, Kevin didn't listen to the whole story and immediately pulled Kiana out the door.
Raiden Ryoma, a research-oriented businessman, is basically immune to economic corruption. If he were to be arrested, it's highly likely that Schrodinger Company has already made a move.
Judging from the previous Hiruko father and daughter's attack and the ME Company's research institute bombing, it can be seen that Raiden Ryoma is not only hated for being the Cursed Children, but he may also possess some kind of information that the other party is not afraid of.
As Raiden Mei is someone close to him, she's probably also under his protection. In short, her current situation is very dangerous!
Hold on tight! Hold on firmly!
As soon as he got in the car, Kevin hurriedly fastened his seatbelt and growled at Kiana was completely unaware of what was happening.
Before the oblivious white-haired girl could react, CC, having received the veiled command, licked her cherry lips and floored the accelerator. The car sped down the street like an arrow.
Having spent so much time together, the two have developed a basic understanding. This Green Haired Witch, who has been left to her own devices by her master, has developed a variety of hobbies in her spare time, one of which is racing cars.
Along the way, CC, with her superhuman athleticism and immortality, drove her secretly modified business vehicle with the flair of F1 Formula, weaving nimbly through the crowd of vehicles.
The intense feeling of weightlessness caused their internal organs to sway wildly, their stomachs to churn and surge, and their minds to feel as if they were about to fly out of their skulls.
With a "whoosh," the battered minivan left four charred tire tracks on the ground after arriving at its destination, and came to a steady stop in front of the Raiden Ryoma family's mansion.
With a worried heart, Kevin grabbed Kiana, whose eyes were sparkling, and ran into the villa before the car had even come to a complete stop.
After a series of seemingly effortless leaps, the boy rudely flung open the door. Seeing Mei and the other Valkyrie there, Kevin finally felt relieved.
"Mei... Mei... Why is your ceiling spinning?"
Kiana rolled her eyes as waves of dizziness washed over her, and undigested food shoved down her esophagus.
"I can't take it anymore... I need to throw up for a bit..."
After hurriedly finishing her sentence, the white-haired girl stumbled and ran to the bathroom, emptying her stomach in a rush.
"Never mind her, she's just carsick..."
Kevin casually waved his hand, pulled Raiden Mei, and headed towards the bedroom.
"Keep an eye on things, Mei needs to talk to Mei about some personal matters."
Bronya and the others nodded slightly, cautiously observing their surroundings.
"Did Raiden Ryoma ask you to keep anything safe?"
After Kevin closed the door, he secretly added a Spatial Barrier and Door Opening asked the question seriously and directly.
How did you know?
Raiden Mei instinctively clutched her chest, her expression one of astonishment.
"That's just a guess. Unless he's truly an idiot, he should understand the principle of having multiple escape routes and will at least leave himself some way out."
"ME Company is now completely at their mercy. After what happened last time, Raiden Ryoma probably doesn't trust any of his subordinates."
"If he truly knows any secret, he will definitely teach you the methods to survive against all odds, Mei..."
Kevin pressed his temples and explained the basis of his argument clearly.
After dispelling her doubts, Raiden Mei unbuttoned her clothes, pulled out a pendant from her neck, opened the heart-shaped ornament, and solemnly handed the chip inside to Kevin, pursing her cherry lips and pleading in her voice.
"Please, you must rescue my father..."
Kevin nodded slightly, giving an affirmative answer, then spoke softly with a gentle tone and tender gaze.
"It must have been tough holding you in..."
This question shattered Raiden Mei's carefully constructed facade of strength. Her eyes reddened, and she involuntarily leaned on Kevin's shoulder, sobbing softly.
"I believe Dad isn't that kind of person..."
"Um..."
Kevin stroked the girl's soft, long black hair naturally, making a calm, nasal sound.
"Dad said you would protect me the way you would protect him, right?"
"Don't worry, everything will be alright..."
The young boy gently cupped the girl's tear-streaked face, wiping away the pearly tears from her cheeks. His simple words possessed a captivating charm that drew people in.
"Mei, I..."
With the sound of the key turning, Kiana, who was now lively and energetic again, had just emerged from the shadow of motion sickness and couldn't wait to seek comfort in her best friend's arms.
However, the moment Door Opening, she saw her chosen queen buried in the arms of some detestable white-haired man, not only with tears streaming down her face, but also with her clothes half-undone, revealing a glimpse of her white bra.
"You beast! You scum! I haven't even laid a hand on you yet!"
Enraged, Kiana jumped up and down in anger at the sight, but as Heavy-Duty Rabbit's scathing iron fist fell mercilessly, the white-haired girl was instantly knocked unconscious.
"Is this correct now?"
"That's it!"
Seele and Xing peeked their little heads out from the doorway, then huddled together, chattering away, their eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and pity.
Bronya gave the two disheveled individuals a deep look, her expression equally strange. As she pulled Kiana, whose head was swollen with a large bump, away, she couldn't help but say something.
"Mei, this is a critical moment, you need to hurry..."
Raiden Mei looked down and noticed that when she took out the pendant to keep it private, she had forgotten to button her clothes in her haste, resulting in half of her breasts being slightly exposed.
"This... is not... an accident! Listen to me..."
However, just as the girl was about to explain, the door had already closed, leaving only the two of them in the eerie room.
When Raiden Mei glared angrily at Kevin, the little boy looked righteous and indignant.
"Don't worry, I didn't see anything!"
"Then what are you standing there for? Turn around!"
The Young Lady of ME Company gritted her teeth and ordered the little rascal, whose eyes were still fixed on her chest, to turn around and face the wall.
After Raiden Mei straightened her clothes, the two walked out of the bedroom one after the other. The four Valkyrie in the hall had been waiting for a long time with their suitcases packed.
Fortunately, due to the widespread spread of Star Mark Syndrome and the chaos in the city, the remaining 50-odd Cursed Children have been secretly taken to a summer camp set up by Toda Hirano for refuge.
So, cleaning it up is quite simple.
"From now on, follow my orders. First, come with me to a place..."
"A place that is both the most dangerous and the safest..."
Kevin gazed intently at the Abandoned Commercial District, a slight smile playing on his lips.
P. S.: I stayed up until 2:30, and I'm a bit choppy, so I'll just post one chapter for now. I'll figure out the transitions later, and there will be four chapters today.
There are currently 18 chapters owed.
Chapter 518, Section 546: Selling out teammates, I'm familiar with this.
In the Abandoned Commercial District, in a simply furnished and unpretentious house, Raiden Mei, exhausted both mentally and physically, fell into a deep sleep. Kevin, after setting up a spatial barrier, sat on the sofa chewing on candy.
"The most dangerous place, yet also the safest? Is that your reason for coming to me?"
Lei Ting frowned slightly as he looked at the uninvited guest in the room.
Kevin crossed his legs, rummaged through the Thunder's nearly empty refrigerator, pulled out the last can of energy drink, and smiled with narrowed eyes.
"I doubt any of the Imperial Army would dare to raid your residence."
Lei Ting removed her wristband, her eyebrows arching upwards.
"You suspect that the economic scandal involving Raiden Ryoma was framed by Schrodinger Company?"
"It's not doubt, it's certainty! On one hand, Raiden Ryoma has mastered the true technology for neutralizing Honkai energy, and through comparative experiments, he has found the composition of Mako Energy to be questionable, which has already shaken the foundation of Schrodinger Company's energy empire. Before the Meteor Calamity, he was hunted down by the Cursed Children of an unknown force, which is enough to prove the point..."
"As for the other aspect, I believe you will be interested..."
Kevin confidently pulled out the chip, inserted it into the computer, and opened a series of patient images and pathological data.
In the isolation ward, a group of patients with hardening in multiple parts of their bodies and the appearance of purplish-red crystals were receiving treatment.
Over time, they eventually crystallized, turning into shattered, purplish-red crystal sculptures.
"What are you showing me, Crystallization Sickness? I know that better than you do." Lei Ting sneered slightly.
Kevin shook his head. "Unfortunately, you're wrong. This is a large-scale viral terrorist attack that occurred in Toko City, Japan, more than ten years ago. The symptoms are extremely similar to those of Crystallization Sickness."
"This thing was named the [Apocalypse Virus]. Back then, some madmen wanted to exterminate the human species, leaving only a man and a woman named Adam and Eve, to restart civilization..."
Lei Ting paused, somewhat incredulous. "You mean, the spread of Crystallization Sickness was caused by someone deliberately releasing this virus? What's the reason?"
Kevin tapped the table, his expression gloomy.
"The problem likely lies in the extraction of Mako Energy. Schrodinger Company intends to use this virus to reduce and control the population in the mining area, and is using targeted drugs as leverage to silence those who know the truth."
Then, while the Imperial Army leader remained silent, Kevin added fuel to the fire by presenting some evidence to Thunder.
"Don't overestimate people's morality. When faced with profit, even a virus can become a tool for making money. By the way, let me tell you about some interesting coincidences..."
"First, of Schrodinger Company's three CEOs, Oswell E. Spencer, from the former Umbrella Corporation, led the development of the T-Virus with the aim of creating a military biological weapon."
"Another CEO, the heir to the Travis Family, sent corporate spies to secretly seize the T-Virus after its successful development. Ultimately, the conflict between the two companies nearly resulted in the deaths of 200,000 people in Raccoon City."
"Secondly, during the crisis in Toko City, there appeared [Adam] and [Eve] who could manipulate the Apocalypse Virus; those people aspired to become Gods who would decide the fate of humanity."
"The original meaning of Sephiroth in Latin is '[the Emanation of Divinity],' and its code name is 'Adam.' The first Gastrea infected in Seven Star Village was also known as 'Mitochondrial Eve'..."
"Third, the concept of the [New Human Creation Project] wasn't invented by Schrodinger Company..."
"Furthermore, don't you think the timing of your sister's infection with Crystallization Sickness is too coincidental? It just happened after the Schrodinger Company scandal broke out, during the period when protests and demonstrations were in full swing."
Although Lei Ting remained silent, his expression was tense, and there was a hint of wavering in his eyes.
If it were just one or two factors, it could be considered a coincidence. But with so many issues combined, the signs of human intervention are far too obvious.
