Chapter 162

At this moment, the old men all lowered their heads, and the old patriarch Cavendish was trembling with fear.

The consequences of dismantling the black market were too severe, almost bankrupting the elder family, which led them to set their sights on Shencheng Medicine.

The Schicksal is currently depleting the medical technology of Shencheng Medicine.

And medical technology is definitely the most profitable technology in the world.

Greed is not a sin, but the consequence of greed is the smile Freya gave them at that moment.

"Don't be nervous. As long as you take your outstretched hands back, I won't hold it against you."

"Yes, Your Acting Grand Bishop, we would never dare to overstep our bounds..."

To save his granddaughter's life, the old patriarch of Cavendish immediately lowered his head.

Unlike other patriarchs, his offspring were relatively young, but Otto immediately killed his son and daughter-in-law after his granddaughter was born.

Now he is the only son left in his family.

"Not at all, you all did a great job. Well, the day before yesterday, the researchers from Anti-Entropy and I test-drove a super quantum computer. Well, you probably wouldn't understand if I told you all this, but simply put, it can break into the databases of any country in the world and steal intelligence. Even the security systems of Swiss banks couldn't stop this super quantum computer from intruding—"

The elderly people present didn't quite understand the topic Freya suddenly brought up, but they still chose to keep their heads down.

At this point, being honest or playing the victim will save your life.

The elderly people didn't really care about their grandchildren's lives, but they wanted to live a little longer and didn't want to be killed by the young dragon for offending it.

"Sigh, it's really hard to explain this to a bunch of old people who don't understand computers. Simply put, this computer can hack into all electronic devices through the network cable and can also remotely control all information and intelligence. Well, the point I want to make is... the multiple transactions you've made with an organization Human Alliance."

In a flash.

Several elderly people slid off the chairs.

When they watched Freya recount the story with a beaming smile, her smile widening, the elders felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Of course, I deliberately let that super quantum computer investigate your dirty secrets."

"Acting Grand Bishop, is there something you need us to do?"

Old Master Cavendish, true to his reputation as the most cunning of the old men, bowed his head and spoke with utmost sincerity.

"Well, I've spent all my allowance this month on this super quantum computer, but I also want to buy land in the Far East to build a house. The old patriarch of the Cavendish family should have many connections, right? Remember to find a cheap but high-quality builder..."

"Yes... yes, I have, we have many, channels, absolutely good... good quality and low price."

As soon as Freya finished speaking, the old patriarch Cavendish stammered in reply.

The old patriarch Cavendish now understood completely.

The other party has recently been focusing on training and scientific research, and even shooting music videos, giving them the impression that she is too busy to pay attention to Shencheng Medicine. This is a blatant hint that they should reach out and help.

The other party is betting on their greed, betting that they will take risks because their black market operations have been shut down.

The other party wants to use their connections, but won't ask them for them directly. Instead, they'll put a noose around their heads and then make them hand it over willingly.

If they refuse, remove the stools from their feet.

This young dragon was incredibly greedy, even more ruthless Otto.

They needed to leverage the Senate's connections and political maneuvering, while also putting a new collar on their heads.

The old patriarch Cavendish was certain that the super quantum computer was not something they had discovered just the day before Human Alliance; they had probably discovered it long ago, but only brought it up as a threat when they reached out to Shencheng Medicine.

Of course, the old patriarch Cavendish was half right.

Freya had indeed investigated the Senate's alliance with the Human Alliance, a Schicksal human organization, two months ago. Moreover, it wasn't using any super quantum computer; she was almost out of money to build one.

The database of Schicksal contained some descriptions of the Human Alliance. Freya simply sent the intelligence unit to investigate, and the results were gratifying.

The organization's philosophy is very interesting: it fights for humanity.

They believed that the Grand Bishop of the Schicksal was anti-human and completely disregarded the life and death of mankind, so they wanted to eliminate Schicksal and seize Schicksal technology for the sake of human survival.

As for how to fight the Honkai after destroying Schicksal...

It's quite simple. The Human Alliance plans to capture the Valkyrie and send them to fight against the Honkai, and also kidnap the Grand Bishop's granddaughter, Theresa, to train more Valkyrie to fight for humanity.

Freya burst out laughing when she read the intelligence report given to her by the intelligence unit.

They laughed so hard they fell to the ground, and Rita gave her a strange look for a long time.

However, despite the ideals, Human Alliance is on the verge of bankruptcy and dissolution.

Yes, the black market that Freya sent Laguna to investigate and then had Anti-Entropy destroy was the main source of income for the Human Alliance.

In fact, this organization is even more ridiculous than the World Serpent. The World Serpent's Gray Serpent is quite troublesome, and Freya has killed countless clones of it.

Tsk—

The thought of the Gray Serpent made Freya feel rather unhappy.

This thing is incredibly sneaky, and it has a lot of clones. Every time you encounter one, thirty clones will appear.

If it weren't for the fact that Gray Serpent was one of the highest-ranking officials of the World Serpent, Freya would have wanted to kill him long ago. In the end, she just beat every Gray Serpent she encountered to death, and she destroyed countless of his clones.

The plan to surround but not kill went smoothly, but the Gray Serpent ran faster than a rabbit when it saw her, which made her lose interest in continuing the charade.

Anyway, driving away the World Serpent and building momentum for the Gray Serpent is also a way of paving the way for his sister.

Incidentally, the Jackal, who was released by her sister, is now staying obediently in the room where she was previously imprisoned, and Freya has indeed replaced the security door of the bank vault with one for her.

This Egyptian woman, one of the World Serpent officials and known for her alluring figure, has recently gained weight around her waist because she's become a shut-in.

Freya is almost considering getting her a treadmill.

I was passing by a bank vault door earlier, wondering why the room had a door like that, when I saw her lying naked on her side on the sofa, watching TV, eating potato chips, drinking cola, and scratching her butt. In short, she was living a completely decadent life.

Those who don't know her would never imagine that someone like her could be a senior scientific researcher.

Of course, Freya spared World Serpent because of Kiana, but she was unlikely to let the elders of the Senate off easily.

"Then, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes, yes, Your Acting Grand Bishop, but... about the funds..."

"I'm leaving it to you. Remember to help me pay for it first."

As she spoke, Freya pulled at the dark red quilt she was wearing—no, I mean cloak—and left right in front of the group of old people.

Schicksal has its own construction team, so what they need to build houses on is building materials. But judging from the other party's attitude, the old patriarch of the Cavendish family knows that the money... can only be paid by them, which can be considered as losing money to avoid disaster.

"... That little evil dragon!!"

Why did I have to be so greedy and jump into the trap of Shencheng Medicine?!

180. Her brain is more valuable than her body.

After Freya left, the elders were either clutching their chests or their stomachs.

The problems that have erupted since the dismantling of the black market have caused many of the already elderly veterans to suffer from common ailments of the elderly, such as stress-induced gastric perforation and chronic gastritis.

And now they have a heart attack.

The young dragon, who was entrenched in the cave and possessed countless gold and silver treasures, was not satisfied and set its greedy gaze on the group of old landlords.

"That damn Kiana!!"

"Cavendish, how could you agree to that?!"

"Then it's your turn? Do you think she'll kill you first? Or your grandson?"

The old patriarch Cavendish didn't hold back in rebuking the old man who dared to criticize him.

The Human Alliance, supported behind the scenes by the Senate, is not an upright organization, even though it appears to be dedicated to protecting humanity, fighting for humanity, and advocating human supremacy.

But that organization was only formed by these capitalists and numerous national capitalists for their own benefit.

Simply put, countries covet both the technology of Schicksal and the technology of Anti-Entropy.

Therefore, they found a nicer way to smear him.

For example, they smear Schicksal by saying that Valkyrie, Honkai Beast, and Deadman are the same kind of monsters. They also claim that Schicksal's Grand Bishop Otto doesn't want to save everyone, and that the 'Noah's Ark' he created has only prepared tickets for a portion of capitalists, intending to abandon 99% of humanity.

To smear Anti-Entropy, they claim that its Alliance Leader is Herrscher, apostle of Honkai Anti-Entropy, and that many members who joined Anti-Entropy were killed by this Herrscher. They also claim that the previous nuclear reactor malfunctions were due to Anti-Entropy deliberately providing incorrect blueprints.

In short, there are countless rumors circulating privately that smear Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.

However, Schicksal and Anti-Entropy have accumulated considerable influence over time, and both organizations are keen on philanthropy. Not everyone believes in the claims of the Human Alliance, but under the operation of capitalists behind the scenes, they have still managed to stir up quite a bit of controversy.

They wanted to seize the technology of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy, and they also wanted the Valkyrie to protect them more diligently.

At least, they felt that the Valkyrie was being treated too well.

Valkyrie are promoted to Rank A can have a certain political status, and the officer titles used by Schicksal are also recognized to a certain extent by various countries.

These elders never expected that before the Human Alliance could gain momentum and before the public opinion secretly spread by the capitalists could take hold, Freya had already cut off their funding.

Freya not only set her sights on the elderly members of the Senate who provided the funds, but also on several major capitalist conglomerates that are associated with the Human Alliance.

This is the real reason why Freya used the Type-B Stigmata to summon back the Valkyrie and used the limited production to retain Valkyrie.

As for the production of Type-B Stigmata, it's not one per week, but more than ten per day.

Freya deliberately controlled the production of Type-B Stigmata to control the number of Valkyrie remaining in various countries.

After all, some of the Valkyrie are either children of nobles or high-ranking officials, and have a strong political background.

In fact, the Schicksal still provides Valkyrie slots to several countries with which it has close cooperation, so a small portion of the Valkyrie also represent countries.

Freya withdrew the Valkyrie and also sent a warning to the capitalist conglomerate that Human Alliance several sponsors.

Of course, the other party completely ignored Freya's warning.

Ultimately, Freya's deterrent power was still too weak, but she didn't care about that, since the Valkyrie were almost all withdrawn anyway.

Once the Schicksal Special Zone is built in the Far East, there will be no more Valkyrie in the world except for the Far East.

She had no interest in playing any scheming games with the cunning old tycoons.

Anyway, since you old fogies want to cause trouble behind the scenes, then just wait for her to retaliate. Once she develops new Stigmata that far surpasses the Type-B Stigmata and equips all the Valkyrie with it, she will immediately launch her revenge.

The Type-B Stigmata was researched by Freya on her own. Although it is essentially Honkai Energy Crystal with a special structure, it requires Freya to enhance her Honkai Energy manipulation by dozens of times in order to create such a crystal.

Only Freya, Honkai Energy has a terrifying affinity for Honkai energy, could create it.

The Type-B Stigmata was ultimately just a prototype, a substitute to fill the gaps in the Stigmata gene fragments. Even if the Type-B Stigmata could be used to stimulate power, it only reached the so-called S-rank.

If only 40% of the Type-B Stigmata is activated, it means that the Valkyrie using the Type-B Stigmata has a 60% Stigmata completeness.

Freya refers to Valkyrie with 40% activation of the Type-B Stigmata as having an Awakening Level of 60%.

Currently, the highest awakening level of the Type-B Stigmata in Valkyrie is 78%, which means that only 22% of the Type-B Stigmata has actually been activated.

The owner of the highest-value Type-B Stigmata is none other than Himeko, whom Freya greatly admires.

It was only because the artificial Stigmata conflicted with her already high level of Stigmata gene fragments, coupled with her advanced age when she underwent the surgery, and a minor accident that occurred during the surgery, that her lifespan was reduced by more than that of a normal Valkyrie.

After Freya recalled Himeko, she definitely didn't intend for her to continue participating in battles, and instead had her rest and recuperate every day.

After equipping the Type-B Stigmata -Type-B Stigmata, the circuit formed by its special structure allows the Honkai Energy within the body to circulate in a healthy manner, preventing excessive erosion of the body.

In fact, Valkyrie are a very tragic existence.

Although they gained Honkai Energy resistance through artificial Stigmata, they would still be eroded by Honkai in battles against Honkai, and the Honkai Energy within their bodies would also erode their flesh.

As the degree of corruption increases, the Valkyrie eventually either become Deadman or die on the spot.

Cocolia accepted World Serpent's offer of help because she noticed this: although the children she adopted were survivors of the Second Eruption War, possessing high Honkai Energy resistance and extremely high Honkai Energy control, their Honkai Energy would still become active and begin to erode their bodies in places with high Honkai Energy. Their antibodies did not mean they were completely immune.

That's why she wanted to create an immune system that could adapt to any amount of Honkai Energy.

Although the plan is still in the theoretical stage, Freya does have the idea of supporting Cocolia.

Because Valkyrie are such pitiful beings, Freya wanted to treat Valkyrie with more favor; she didn't care about the special backgrounds of some Valkyrie.

The moment they become Valkyrie, whether it's for revenge or to seek status, they ultimately stand on the front line against the fight against Honkai.

Freya naturally respected these warriors who stood on the front lines to protect humanity.

So when she learned of the Human Alliance's idea, she laughed so hard she fell to the ground. At the same time, she decided to teach the Senate and certain capitalists who were manipulating the Human Alliance a lesson.

We can't let them die too easily; there are some things we can't do, and even more so, we can't think about.

"Jackal, you today... tsk."

Freya left the conference room and took a detour to find the imprisoned Jackal.
