Nico Olvia
"Huh?!"
A small whimper escaped her throat.
Nico Olvia almost had a heart attack from the fright!
This is only natural.
She had come here alone, secretly, to look for something, and she was well aware of what she was doing.
However, a strange sound suddenly appeared behind him...
Let's be reasonable.
The fact that she didn't scream on the spot shows that she has a very strong mentality.
Even so, Nico Olvia was terrified.
Regardless of who's behind him, if what happened today gets discovered, the consequences...
Just imagining it sent chills down Nico Olvia's spine, and her voice even began to tremble with fear.
"Who... who are you?!"
No matter how strong she is, no matter how determined she is, in the end, she is still a woman.
"Don't worry, I'm not exactly a good person either... cough, I mean I'm a good person."
Having satisfied her mischievous urges a little, Lin Yan explained with a smile. However, it would have been better if she hadn't spoken, because as soon as she did, Nico Olvia became even more wary.
Let's just think about it.
A pitch-black basement library.
An incredibly mysterious person.
And you still say you're not a good person?
Thinking about things no matter how you look at it, it all seems terrible, right?!
Therefore, Nico Olvia immediately tensed up, took out the small knife she carried with her, and threatened him with a fierce but insincere tone.
"You! Don't come any closer! Or I'll attack!"
"..."
Lin Yan was speechless.
Woman, what are you threatening?
Lin Yan looked at Nico Olvia in front of her with some amusement; to be fair, she was just an ordinary person.
Holding the knife didn't feel threatening at all; on the contrary...
Hmm, it's hard to say.
Perhaps this is what they call temptation?
Fortunately, Lin Yan was a very upright person and didn't think too much about anything strange. Looking at Nico Olvia in front of her, she just smiled helplessly.
"Put it down. Taking things won't do me any good. Besides, you're a scholar, you don't have much combat ability, do you? How about this, let's talk things over?"
"..."
Nico Olvia looked at the person in front of her with some surprise.
How did he know he was a scholar?
And what a coincidence that they appeared here.
Could it be that...
Thinking it over, Nico Olvia gritted her teeth, and then actually put down the knife in her hand. A resolute look suddenly appeared in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yan.
"Give up! I have nothing more to say to you lackeys!"
The woman spoke with great conviction.
She would never betray her companions, no matter what!
Even if I die here!
Nico Olvia was surprised by the speed of the World Government's lackeys; they found her before she could even destroy the evidence. Although her tone was tough, despair was beginning to creep into her heart.
This is only natural.
She was one of their own, and knew her own situation. Faced with the lackeys of the World Government, she had absolutely no ability to resist.
"..."
However, Lin Yan remained speechless.
"So what are you misunderstanding? Didn't we say we should talk things out? At least put aside your hostility, right?"
Lin Yan said with a hint of helplessness.
You know, Lin Yan has always been a very gentlemanly person, so it's a bit hurt that she's being so afraid of a woman right now.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Nico Olvia couldn't help but pause in surprise.
"You're not from the World Government?"
"Ha?"
Lin Yan glanced at the woman in front of her, somewhat speechless.
"If I were a member of the World Government, do you think you'd still be here arguing with me right now?"
"..."
To be honest, that's true.
Nico Olvia was speechless and momentarily stunned, but hearing the man's helpless tone, she relaxed.
As long as they're not from the World Government.
Even so, Nico Olvia remained very vigilant. After all, this guy who suddenly appeared here seemed suspicious no matter how you looked at him, so she certainly couldn't let her guard down completely.
"Then who are you?"
"Just a traveler passing by by chance."
With Nico Olvia giving her a "I don't believe you" look, Lin Yan casually brushed her off before getting straight to the point.
"So, what are you doing here?"
"... Come and get something."
Nico Olvia bit her lip.
To be honest, she really didn't want to answer the question, but the situation was beyond her control. To prevent the suspicious person in front of her from suddenly attacking, Nico Olvia had no choice but to compromise for the time being.
"Get something..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan looked thoughtfully at Olvia in front of her, and as if she had thought of something, she suddenly smiled and snapped her fingers.
"So that's how it is, you came here to steal research data."
"?!"
Nico Olvia was utterly shocked.
It's important to understand that at this point in time, Ohara's research has not yet been made public; everything is being conducted in secret.
Even she only knew about it because she was one of the participants.
How could this man in front of me be possible?!
Instantly, a murderous glint flashed in Nico Olvia's eyes.
Under no circumstances should this news be leaked!
Otherwise, annihilation awaits Ohara!
With that thought in mind, Nico Olvia no longer hesitated. Taking advantage of the man's inattention, she took out a small knife and stabbed him.
Even if it means mutual destruction!
"Hey you... can't you listen to people properly? Well, I guess I can understand, but I'll forgive you this time."
Lin Yan looked at Nico Olvia in front of her with a speechless expression.
What are you doing so slowly?
With Lin Yan's current strength, even if Nico Olvia risked her life, she would pose no threat whatsoever.
With a casual wave of her hand, Nico Olvia's knife vanished instantly, and she was pinned against the wall by Lin Yan.
There is absolutely no threat to them.
After all, she was just an ordinary person.
"..."
Even when facing extremely dangerous situations.
Suddenly being approached by Lin Yan, Nico Olvia couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment and annoyance on her face.
"You scoundrel! You... you let me go!!!"
