I Choose To Take Out

Li Yu's words stunned Mei. Her father had really been greedy? Shocking! Could it be that her father was having an affair?

Thinking of this, Mei suddenly became uneasy. Could she possibly have some half-siblings? At this moment, Mei asked excitedly, "What did he do with the money? Did he raise ghosts outside?"

What can a single man do with so much money? What else can he do besides keeping women on the side? Mei was furious at this thought; she truly never imagined her father was that kind of person.

At this moment, Mei felt completely at peace. Suddenly, she didn't want to know what he was doing anymore. Let him do whatever he wants; the best thing would be for him to be locked up for life!!

Li Yu looked at Mei speechlessly. People can really laugh when they're speechless. He asked, somewhat amused and exasperated, "Do you girls have such wild imaginations? This is the first thing you thought of?"

Hearing this, Mei froze, looking at Li Yu with some uncertainty, and said, "Is it not what I thought?"

She spoke with some trepidation, her heart pounding with anxiety. If it wasn't what she thought, then what was the truth?

"Your father embezzled money, and it all went to you, you silly girl!" Li Yu was genuinely amused. If the Raiden Ryoma knew what his daughter was thinking, it would probably cry.

Although Raiden Ryoma did embezzle, all the money was used for investment, and the investor was none other than Raiden Mei. The money was poured into research and development to deal with Mei's potential rampage.

As Li Yu slowly explained, Mei finally understood. She had misunderstood her father; his embezzlement was actually for her sake?

Thinking of this, Mei felt uneasy again. She looked at Li Yu nervously and asked, "Is Father alright?"

As Mei gradually calmed down, she began to worry about Raiden Ryoma's safety again. Since Raiden Ryoma hadn't given her any younger siblings or a stepmother, he was still a good father.

As a dutiful daughter, she naturally prioritized her father's safety. At the same time, she was also somewhat nervous, wondering what the final outcome would be for her father's actions.

"It's alright, he was just framed by his political rival. He didn't squander the money he embezzled. Although he had selfish motives, the technology he developed is Anti-Entropy, so it's not a big problem!" Li Yu explained calmly.

Upon hearing this, Mei was completely relieved. As long as her father was alright, that was all that mattered. After so many days, she had finally heard some good news.

In fact, Li Yu had something else he didn't tell Mei: the leader of Anti-Entropy is one of our people, so how could your father be in trouble?

"Thank you for letting me know. Is there anything I can do to help you next?" Mei looked at Li Yu and the others after learning all this.

Li Yu came to see her specifically, surely it wasn't just to tell her these things? She knew perfectly well there must be another reason.

"That's right, we did come to see you this time because we have something to discuss. Besides you, Miss Kiana is here too. After all, you two are the main characters who could set this city on fire at any moment!" Li Yu's words immediately silenced Mei.

This isn't exactly a good reputation; the protagonists who could detonate the entire city at any moment? That's truly terrifying. In other words, they are essentially a ticking time bomb right now.

A ticking time bomb that could obliterate the entire city at any moment—the thought filled Mei with bitterness. She truly hadn't imagined things would turn out this way.

The way her classmates bullied her, their aim being to drive her to utter despair and awaken her as a Herrscher, is utterly despicable.

Who is the mastermind behind this? How could someone be so ruthless? Doesn't she know there are many other people in this city?

If the substance inside her were to explode, I doubt many people in the entire city would survive.

The thought that her actions might lead to the deaths of everyone in the city made Mei tremble uncontrollably.

If these people hadn't appeared, the script might have actually unfolded as Li Yu predicted, with her ultimately falling into despair and awakening her powers.

Li Yu had just explained to her what was inside her body. Thinking about this, Raiden Mei felt a chill run down her spine; she almost became an executioner.

Fortunately, these people appeared; fortunately, they explained things to her; fortunately, the expected outcome did not occur.

Seeing Mei's reaction, Syr felt sorry for her. It was so hard for her to be treated like this.

Just as Syr was thinking this, the door on the roof was violently pushed open. Everyone who heard the noise turned to look, and when Syr saw who it was, her eyes lit up with joy.

"Bronya, my sister!" Syr ran over immediately. The person she was waiting for had finally arrived, and it really was Bronya!!

Bronya looked at the girl in front of her with some disbelief and said, "Syr? Is it really you?"

Even after seeing it with her own eyes, Bronya could hardly believe it. Syr was really standing in front of her; she had really returned.

Syr hugged Bronya tightly. Upon smelling that familiar scent, Bronya finally believed that the Syr in front of her was the Syr she had been longing for day and night.

There's no mistaking this scent; it's something only Syr would have. She's all too familiar with it. As for how familiar she is, don't worry about that; she simply can't forget this scent no matter what.

"Great, Syr, you're finally back!!" Bronya hugged Syr tightly, both sisters embracing each other with great excitement.

After turning her gaze away from Syr, Mei said to Li Yu, "Let's continue our previous topic. Did you come to me wanting to remove that thing from my body?"

That thing was a time bomb inside her, and when Li Yu came to take it away, she didn't feel much.

Rather, she was more than happy to do so, because only in this way could she resolve the crisis. She didn't want the entire city to fall into crisis because of her.

Even if she doesn't take it out, it doesn't matter if Li Yu wants to imprison her, since she has no other choice. Only in this way can the safety of those around her be ensured!

Li Yu shook his head, looked at Mei, and continued, "The gem has already become one with you, and you are already in a semi-awakened state. Taking it away would be tantamount to taking your life!"

However, Mei's awakening was interrupted because of Jhana; otherwise, with sufficient Honkai energy, she would have awakened long ago.

It's impossible to remove it. If it were possible, Mei wouldn't have implanted a bomb in her heart in the game; she would have simply removed it. Because it's fused together, it's impossible to remove.

If that gem is taken away, then Mei's life will end here; of course, this only applies to the people of this world.

If Li Yu wanted to retrieve it, it would only be a matter of a thought. The Herrscher is a valuable item, and Li Yu naturally didn't want to waste it.

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Mei was stunned. Had they already become one? Had they become completely bound together?

Thinking of this, Mei fell silent, and Li Yu also stopped talking, instead quietly watching Syr and Bronya embracing each other.

"If you take it, I'll die, right? Then take it. As long as you can get my father out safely, what's inside me is yours!" She wouldn't mind giving up her life.

Rather than living in constant fear that her city might be blown up one day, it would be better to sacrifice myself, remove the substance from her body, and completely eliminate this hidden danger!

"That won't do! How can we just take the life of a beautiful young girl like that?" March 7th, who had been silent all along, couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly spoke up to dissuade the other party from their idea.

She actually has a good impression of this girl who looks very similar to Huang Quan, and if possible, of course she'd save her, right?

"I didn't say I wanted to take it, and she didn't even give me a chance to finish my sentence. I didn't even get a chance to continue!" Looking at the somewhat agitated March 7th, Li Yu couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, March 7th beamed with joy and exclaimed, "As expected of Li Yu! I knew you had a plan. Tell me already, stop teasing me!"

Mei looked at Li Yu expectantly. If he could solve this, that would be wonderful. She wondered if Li Yu had any ideas.

"It's simple, just master it, right? To put it bluntly, it's just a kind of power, and because of someone, you can now master these powers." Li Yu stated his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Mei's eyes lit up. If she could gain a special ability without dying, wouldn't that be a win no matter how you looked at it?

"What should I do?" Mei looked at Li Yu nervously. Although she knew the method, she had no idea how to do it. She had to rely on Li Yu to do it.

"Don't panic, I'll teach you later. Besides you, that white-fuzzy little thing from earlier also needs to come along. That's why I asked you two to come!" Li Yu looked at Mei with a smile.

He has made his decision: Three Founding Families will bring all the Herrscher from the three founding families back with him. Once they complete their awakening and ascension, they will all be formidable fighters, especially Kiana. After she fully masters the Honkai energy of this world, her combat power will definitely be at the Emanator level.

Their strength is undeniable. Li Yu's world is in dire need of manpower, so how could they possibly let go of such top-tier combat power?

Are we really going to let her continue protecting Earth on the moon like in the original storyline? There's no need for that. This world isn't that precious; taking her away is the best way to maximize profits!

Mei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Li Yu's words, but she quickly realized what he meant and asked in disbelief, "Could it be that Kiana is also Herrscher?"
