Chapter 32

Shen He looked at Shiki lying on the bed. He really couldn't keep lazing around like before.

Shen He still didn't know what kind of relationship there should be between a Master and a Servant, but he knew clearly that he had a responsibility to protect the people he had summoned into this world.

"...So you're going to take a girl who could suddenly go on a killing spree at any moment, along with an unconscious patient, and head outside?" Tony spread his hands helplessly. "Fine, fine. You're lucky you ran into me. I'll find some excellent doctors and nurses for your friend, but on one condition: keep your people under control. If she makes any more aggressive moves, I'll really throw all of you out. Understand?"

He and Shen He had only known each other for a little over ten days, but they actually got along quite well.

Shen He seemed to understand him very well and knew many things about him, so Tony felt like he didn't need to hide his feelings in front of Shen He.

"Of course. Violet is actually very well-behaved." Shen He smiled and patted the girl's head. "If you hadn't suddenly come over and pushed me just now, none of this would have happened. By the way, what did you say you found? The new element your father left for you?"

"You really did know." Tony's eyes widened. "You knew and still didn't tell me, making me watch six whole days of recordings by myself!"

"Haha, wasn't that so you'd understand your father's love for you more deeply?" Shen He laughed twice.

"You always have an excuse. Come help me. I need to build a particle collider to create the new element."

Over the past six days, Tony truly felt that the feelings weighing on his heart had finally been released. He felt much lighter, as though he had been reborn.

"Have Saiki help you. I need to give Violet a bath." Shen He waved his hand.

Although Tony had agreed to let them keep staying here, what had just happened reminded Shen He of something.

As he summoned more and more Servants in the future, he had to have a base of his own, perhaps even his own force. No matter how nice this place was, it still belonged to someone else. But how should he go about it? What plotlines could he make use of?

As Shen He pondered this question, he suddenly felt something tugging at his sleeve.

Violet was still looking at him expressionlessly in his arms, as though she were observing his every move with those large sapphire-blue eyes.

Forget it. Bath first.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Reward

Shen He didn't know much about Violet.

After all, the original anime's main story took place after Violet had grown up, when she possessed breathtaking beauty and pure yet deeply moving emotions.

As for Violet's childhood, everything Shen He knew had come from Baidu Baike.

Apparently, because of her extraordinary combat ability and her machine-like precision in carrying out orders, she had always been used as a weapon. But...

"Even if she's a weapon, didn't those people know to take proper care of her?" Shen He's voice carried barely restrained fury.

After removing that layer of rags that could not be called clothing at all, what he saw was a body covered in wounds.

Knife wounds, bruises, even bullet holes—nearly every injury looked like it had been sustained in battle. The wounds were covered in filthy dust and mud, and many were still seeping blood. If not for the girl's formidable physique, a bacterial infection alone could have easily killed her.

No... those people wanted her to die on the battlefield.

They wanted to use her for killing, yet feared her slaughter.

"Can you talk?"

As Shen He carefully cleaned her wounds with comfortably warm water and a soft towel, he tried to make conversation.

But there was no response. Violet merely gazed at him with her large blue eyes.

"All right, Violet... that's your name, a very beautiful name. One day, you'll grow into a girl as beautiful as your name... Do you know what it means to have a name? It means you're no longer a weapon, no longer a tool... What am I even saying?"
