"An attack from a Satellite Orbital Cannon..."
"So... is that Himeko's ultimate move?"
Lin Chen had remained a spectator, keeping a close eye on the battle.
He raised an eyebrow, a little surprised by Himeko's methods.
By now, Lin Chen had met quite a few Pathstriders.
But whether it was March 7th, Asta, or Arlan,
they all used the miraculous power of their Paths as their ultimate means of fighting.
Himeko alone was different.
Everything she brought to battle was high-tech.
Granted, Himeko's physical abilities were certainly beyond the reach of ordinary humans.
Still, having taken a different approach,
perhaps Himeko was something of an outlier even among Pathstriders?
Of course, when it came to that mature, red-haired beauty,
these minor details were clearly not what interested Lin Chen most.
During the instant Himeko unleashed her ultimate move,
Lin Chen, watching with an appreciative gaze,
had naturally caught sight of what lay beside that elegant, pure-white dress.
Beside those full, overlapping thighs,
a captivating sight lay beneath that tantalizing strip of exposed skin.
Sheer, translucent white, like a white peach blossom that had yet to bloom.
Before a mirror-bright, floor-to-ceiling window,
drifting strands of rain pattered down.
They made the sky's colors clearer,
and lent the peach blossom an even lovelier, more delicate radiance.
Himeko really is something else.
Looks like I'll have to move a few plans up the schedule...
The corners of his mouth rose into a faintly wicked smile.
Lin Chen's interest in winning Himeko over seemed to have grown a little stronger.
Himeko had taken the initiative to propose working with the Conqueror Legion.
Clearly, she had put the Astral Express's interests first.
Now, Lin Chen had not only agreed to all her requests for cooperation,
but had also asked the Astral Express for nothing tangible
