The Angel Empire! (Extra Chapter) / Thunderous War Goddess YAN

I have to say, with your rebellious, Matt style, I honestly didn't recognize you...

Kevin flicked the note, his lips twitching slightly as he stroked his chin, deep in thought.

It seems that Super God Academy is a hot commodity, and not everyone wants General Dukao to have absolute control over its management.

Whether it's arranged marriage or underhanded tactics, there's always someone who wants to try.

After a brief interlude, the curtain rose, and several important figures entered one after another.

However, the mature and sexy blonde president of the Angel Fund did not attract Kevin's attention. Instead, it was the Russian beauty who was the second to last to take the seat that made his pupils shrink slightly and subconsciously avert his gaze.

Cocolia? What's that woman doing here?!

Luckily, wearing glasses and Alt Account has become a habit; otherwise, it would be embarrassing to get caught.

However, no sooner had one problem been solved than another arose. Du Qiangwei, who had somehow gotten behind him, slapped Kevin on the shoulder.

"Let me introduce you, this is my sister, she'd like to talk to you."

Before Kevin could recover from his surprise, he saw the Asian beauty in a red lace dress next to Du Qiangwei.

"Ada? You're not..."

"I've raised your daughter for ten years, I'm tired of her already. Let whoever wants to take care of her do so. Can't I have some private life of my own?"

Ada smiled charmingly, picked up a glass of champagne from the table, and took a small sip.

Because he shared many of his little secrets with Ada while recuperating in the courtyard, the woman was quite familiar with his disguise.

At this moment, the pointless speeches had ended, and soft jazz music echoed in the hall as couples walked hand in hand onto the dance floor.

"As a nice reward, how about I dance with you?"

Even so, Ada pulled Kevin along without saying a word and joined them.

Under the smiling gaze of the female agent, Kevin suspiciously put his arm around Ada's slender waist, his expression twitching slightly as his fingertips touched a hard object.

He realized now that Ada had brought a gun; he understood what she meant by "private life."

"Are you going back to your old ways?"

Kevin lowered his voice, suddenly feeling a headache coming on.

"You need to make a living, you know..."

Ada chuckled and turned around, leading the beginners to the center of the dance floor. As the music rose, the female agent swung one arm outward, her fingertips subtly touching the lower back of the Angel Fund president.

However, as her male companion tightened his grip, Ada's body was pulled back, and she fell back into Kevin's arms.

This is... running into a competitor...

Can you please stop stealing my business? I've already paid a deposit!

Kevin was exhausted after another accidental mission collision. To avoid further complications, he could only temporarily calm down Ada was preparing to make the first move.

"Isn't being a fashion designer a great job? High pay and easy..."

Kevin earnestly tried to persuade the female agent in front of him to turn over a new leaf, his right hand stroking her waist, and with a slight pull of space, the HS2000 silently fell into his hand.

"I lack passion; this kind of life suits me better..."

Ada smiled, then swept her right leg towards Kevin's ankle. As the man retreated, the female agent grabbed Kevin's arm and seized his sidearm.

"Why fight and kill? A simple and peaceful life is the true essence of happiness..."

Kevin twisted his arm, pulled and yanked, and disassembled the lower half of the gun, casually tossing it into the fountain.

"It seems that your heart needs peace more..."

Ada stroked Kevin's chest, her red lips pressing down, and that fleeting allure made the man's heart pound.

But just as she was about to touch it, Kevin's shirt pocket suddenly went empty; a card was pulled out, Ada's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I've seen this thing on the black market. It's a new type of decoder. We're from the same industry..."

"Trying to steal my business, newbie?"

In an instant, a bead of cold sweat appeared on Kevin's forehead, and a brief awkward silence fell between the two.

P. S.: There will be one more update before midnight tonight, and I will make up for the extra three updates as soon as possible.

Chapter 673, Section 705: The Angel Empire! (Bonus Chapter)

On the dance floor, their eyes met, sparks flew, and they clearly understood that the other wouldn't back down.

To avoid incurring the wrath of his fellow dancer, Kevin decided to be fair and forgo his special ability. As he swayed in his dance, his right hand slid down and found a dagger on the outside of Ada's thigh.

"Laugh!"

A faint whooshing sound was masked by the symphony of classical music as the dagger pierced through the hall and was kicked under the dining table by Kevin, where it became firmly embedded in the table leg.

Asshole!

Ada's teeth itched, and with a swift movement, she angrily stomped on Kevin's foot. However, the fox opposite her had clearly anticipated the female agent's revenge, and with its excellent perception, it was always one step ahead to dodge.

If you kick me out, I'll take you down with me!

The female agent smiled radiantly, her left toes barely touching the ground while her right leg rose, and a sharp blade shot out from her Prada high heel, slicing towards Kevin's knee.

That's ruthless! You're trying to murder your husband!

Kevin suddenly exerted force with his right hand on Ada's back, causing the female agent to stumble and lose her balance.

The man stepped forward at the opportune moment, helping the woman up while simultaneously stepping on the tip of the knife, snapping the blade in two, and kicking it sideways under the dining table.

Ada smiled, and in the brief moment when the music shifted and they switched positions, she grabbed Kevin's hand and secretly pulled it toward her chest, her cherry lips parted as if to cry for help.

As expected, a skilled agent is adept at exploiting women's talents. Kevin, who appreciates this, naturally wouldn't be easily fooled. He slightly distanced himself, leaving Ada no opportunity to take advantage.

But it seems that Kevin threw her too far and with too much force that Ada stumbled and crashed to the ground. In a moment of panic, Kevin rushed forward and pulled the female agent back, and the two collided head-on.

However, at the same time, something hard pressed against his lower back, Ada whispered softly in his ear.

"Don't move, darling, for the sake of your many girlfriends..."

Kevin caught a glimpse of the black lipstick tube aimed at one of his kidneys, and had no choice but to obediently continue dancing, his expression stiff and his tone helpless.

"You know perfectly well that I can't bear to see you hurt, yet you keep using this tactic on me. It's just too much..."

"So be smarter next time..."

Ada smiled, and then, as they passed each other, she unexpectedly gave Kevin a light kiss on the cheek. During the intermission, she withdrew her hand to say goodbye and disappeared into the crowd.

Kevin stared at the lipstick left in his hand, weighed it in his hand, and then expressionlessly unscrewed it.

Hmm, the same shade as my face, she tricked me again.

At this moment, Ada looked around, searching for the faces of key figures and filtering the information in her mind. When the female agent's gaze swept over a Russian beauty who had just danced with the president of the Angel Fund, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted.

Soon, the music started again. Kevin was about to leave the dance floor to rest for a while and make plans for the next move when suddenly the scenery darkened, and a cold, slightly nasal invitation echoed in Kevin's ears.

"May I have this dance?"

As Kevin tilted his head back, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, his astonishment and shock well concealed by the gesture of adjusting his glasses.

Offstage, Ada, who had successfully arranged a meeting with the Female President of the Angel Fund, waved at someone in a flirtatious manner, a sly, fox-like smile on her face, as if her scheme had succeeded.

Kevin took a deep breath, looked at Cocolia who was waiting for a response, a gentle smile on his face, and nodded slightly.

"It would be my great honor..."

The orchestra played again, and a free and cheerful Russian style flowed through the venue. Kevin gently touched Cocolia's waist, and the two danced steadily, with less of the previous thrill.

After many years, this former subordinate not only had a fuller figure, but also exuded a certain aloofness and arrogance, a kind of sharp and overt aura that came with years of holding power.

Of course, what he was more worried about was being recognized.

After all, having heard about Cocolia's fierce struggle to rise to power, Kevin still felt somewhat guilty towards his former subordinate; she was arguably one of the people he feared most.

Since they each now command a large number of loyal followers and neither is likely to easily submit to the other, meeting would only increase awkwardness.

Cocolia didn't say a word from beginning to end, but simply followed Kevin's dance steps. The two became a simple and ordinary couple on the dance floor.

However, Kevin danced this dance with extreme caution, as if walking on thin ice, fearing that some unintentional habits might reveal his identity.

Soon after, Ada and the Female President of the Angel Fund disappeared from the dance floor.

"You don't like dancing? Come upstairs with me for a walk..."

Cocolia frowned slightly upon seeing this, then without a word, pulled Kevin up, walked around the corridor, and headed towards... the bedroom...

Kevin stared at the slowly closing door, feeling an urge to run away, but the hundreds of thousands of dollars in security deposit he had paid made him lose the courage to escape.

"It's too noisy outside. This place is near the top floor, so it's quiet and not many people come here..."

Cocolia took off her somewhat heavy coat and tossed it onto the bed, while casually opening the refrigerator door and asking questions.

"What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"

"Coffee, thank you..."

Kevin sat on the sofa and noticed that the moon was bright and the stars were few outside the French windows. It was a quiet and pleasant place, which calmed his mood. He casually took the coffee that Cocolia tossed to him and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Excuse me, did you call me here...?"

"Your friend said you could help me find the former acting leader of Anti-Entropy..."

Cocolia unscrewed the glass bottle, leaned back on the sofa, and took a swig. The pungent, dry smell of vodka filled the air.

"You've been fooled by her! We're not close. Besides, has Anti-Entropy ever had a proxy leader?"

Kevin was puzzled, but skillfully avoided some of the pitfalls in the questions.

"Really? So you don't care whether she lives or dies?"

Cocolia slightly curled the corners of her lips, looked at Kevin through the half-empty bottle of vodka, and offered an explanation.

"Angel Fund are subsidiaries of Angel Investment Company. Even we at Anti-Entropy can't find out their true background. Your friend probably won't have that opportunity either..."

Angel Investment Company... that name sounds familiar... wait... isn't that a subsidiary of Queen Holy Kaisa on Earth?

Damn it, we've kicked a hornet's nest! Ada's in danger!

Kevin stood up abruptly, but seeing Cocolia's slight cold smile, he couldn't help but speak to cover it up.

"I need to use the restroom..."

Cocolia downed the remaining half-bottle of vodka in one gulp, a faint blush rising to her cheeks. The woman casually picked up a towel and turned around indifferently.

"I didn't see anything, and I don't know anything, it was thirty minutes..."

"I'll need to use some of your time later, I need to take a shower..."

At this moment, Kevin, who had slipped into the bathroom to escape using Phase Shift, froze, mechanically turned to look at the empty wine bottle on the table, and his lips twitched slightly.

Tea or coffee? But you're drinking alcohol, so you must know I don't drink...

It seems I've finally fallen for her. What else can I do? I guess I'll just have to accept my fate.

Kevin took a deep breath, glanced one last time at the alluring figure in the bathroom, and then disappeared into the top floor of the Angel Fund building.

ps: Thank you to the reader @DUxiaoshu for the reward of 400 happy coins.

Chapter 674, Section 706: Lightning War God Yan

Meanwhile, at the Angel Fund Building.

Ada, who had secretly left, quietly made her way to the top floor. Using an electromagnetic pulse gun and a decoder, she infiltrated the room and, after searching for a while and comparing it with the top floor plan, quickly found the space hidden behind the bookshelves.

The reason it went so smoothly was that after being a backup dancer, Ada accepted an invitation from the Female President of Angel Fund. Thanks to her excellent social skills, the two drank and chatted there, and the more they talked, the more they hit it off.

When the Female President learned that Ada was a fashion and architectural designer, she proudly showed her the layout of her room and even provided her with floor plans for reference. Little did she know that this was like inviting a wolf into the house.

Right now, the Female President is busy overseeing the donation, and she can't leave for at least 30 minutes. The female agent, with her excellent insight, has basically figured out the situation in the room.

She vaguely remembered that when the Female President looked at this bookshelf, she would often compare it with the murals on the dome, which depicted a religious story of the archangel Michael, wielding Flame Greatsword, fighting a dragon.

"And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels went to fight..."

"Revelation... Chapter 12... Section 9..."
