Ryan was choked. Mobius was sharp-tongued and he really couldn't win the argument with her. As a reasonable person, he would not act unreasonably.
"You just want more funding. I'll give you a tip. Mei will be in charge of this from now on. Build a good relationship with her first."
"Hmph, that little girl climbed over my head. Well, I admit that she has some capabilities." Mebius was not jealous. She had read the internal information and knew that the First Institute had made another breakthrough discovery under Mebius' leadership, but her eyes rolled.
"Why should I have a good relationship with her? I have you here."
Okay, you want to squeeze even this, right?
Ryan felt more and more that Mebius should be put to death as he actually wanted to use me as a connection.
"You haven't clarified the previous matter yet, why should I help you?"
"You're talking about that..." Mebius played with his long hair beside his ear and showed a weird smile: "I didn't lie, why should I clarify? I have your genes in my body now. From a genetic point of view, we are now like father and daughter."
It sounds even weirder, but it seems to make sense.
Ryan knew that the special factor was extracted from his own blood, fused with the Honkai Beast gene, and then injected into Mebius' body to change her cells and genes.
Genetically speaking, Mebius already had a fragment of his genes.
No, it's getting weirder and weirder. If I keep thinking about it, will I hear the call of my blood?
"You have no shame, but I still want it, so stop talking nonsense."
"Who is talking nonsense? This is the purest biology. Your thinking is too low. I have been thinking about a topic recently. If you and I really give birth to a child, will the original gene fragments be purified?"
Ryan's eyes twitched wildly, and he lowered his voice: "Are you serious?"
"Really? I've already prepared the test tube." Mebius came over and rubbed his hands like a fly. "It all depends on whether you can make a small contribution to science."
Ryan took a deep breath, looked at Mebius's fair profile and the dangling golden earrings, and raised his middle finger decisively.
......
The plane landed at the New York Air Force Base. A fleet of black luxury cars was waiting beside the runway. A girl with long blue-gray hair stood beside the cars, as straight as a pine tree.
Hua had his hands behind his back, his fingertips trembling uneasily. He didn't even pay attention to the elegant man's conversation next to him, and only responded with an occasional "hmm", even though that was his senior's eldest brother.
"They are here." Wayne held his hat with his hand, a smile on his face, "Hua, you are lucky, otherwise you wouldn't be able to go to the Fifth Institute."
"Well, thank you for your care." The girl still had a stern face, and her green eyes followed the taxiing plane, even though she knew that the person next to her was an important figure.
The look in her eyes was strange, the surface was full of fatigue and pain, but deep in her eyes there was burning hope, as if it was a moving torch, attracting the attention of moths.
The silver-white plane finally stopped and the cabin door opened. Hua couldn't wait to greet it, and then stopped after taking a few steps.
Ryan was the first to come out, looking very impatient. There was a woman with long green hair lying on him. Hua also recognized this person.
Dr. Mebius, director of the Fifth Institute and the rumored girlfriend of my senior.
Hua had always scoffed at these rumors. She knew Ryan was very smart, but he was focused on saving the world and it was impossible for him to have a girlfriend. But now she saw that when his pupils contracted, his brain crashed due to overload.
"Go away quickly. I don't want to be laughed at by the people of Fire Moth." Ryan was impatiently pulling Mebius off. This woman kept pestering him to sacrifice herself for science.
What a joke, you haven't even sacrificed yourself, and you want me to come? No, why should I be your guinea pig?
Of course Ryan would not agree. He was the only one who could use others as guinea pigs, not himself. He thought to himself that Mebius was going too far recently, and he must find a chance to teach him a lesson.
Just as he pulled the snake away, he felt a familiar gaze again. He looked over subconsciously and the corner of his mouth twitched on the spot.
Hua? Why did she come to York?
In an instant, several thoughts flashed through his mind. When he saw Wayne in the distance, his brows furrowed and he quickly walked down the gangway.
"How did you come?"
"I'm here as a representative of the new recruits to attend the medal ceremony, and I happened to come to the airport to greet you." Hua stood straight, and his face looked very serious even without trying hard.
Subordinate?
Ryan was stunned, he was not stupid, of course he could hear the anger in Hua Zang. The child was not good at talking, and he looked like this every time he was angry. He was used to it.
So his clever brain started working rapidly again and he turned his head to look behind him.
Well, it's you again, Mebius.
Ryan was very upset. This Mebius must have a grudge against him, right? It was so easy to get into trouble.
But he didn't explain. Firstly, with so many people watching, it was not a good time to speak. Secondly, he knew Hua too well. This girl was very stubborn and could not be fooled by just a few words.
"I'll tell you later." Ryan patted Hua's shoulder gently, removed the leaves from her hair, and walked towards the convoy.
The girl's stern face softened instantly, and she subconsciously raised her head slightly to look at Mobius on the gangway.
The two actually met when Ryan was seriously injured and unconscious, but when they met again now, their eyes on each other were a little different.
Mebius narrowed his eyes, with a forced smile and a scrutinizing look in his eyes, repeating Ryan's actions over and over again.
Very gentle and natural.
She wasn't jealous at all, but she felt a little unhappy instinctively.
Hua Ze had a blank expression on his face, but with stubbornness in his eyes, and was also examining the other person.
No one spoke, but the early autumn air became chilly, and Klein, who was carrying the large and small boxes, shrank back.
Humph.
I don't know how long it was before they both turned their heads away at the same time.
Ryan actually felt that the atmosphere behind him was not right, but he did not look back. He just walked to the front of the convoy and looked at Wayne who was smiling ambiguously.
"why are you laughing?"
"No, I just feel that you have changed over the years. With your former indifference, you shouldn't have gotten into this kind of trouble." The man took off his hat elegantly, hiding the surprise and joy in his eyes.
This joy was certainly not directed towards Ryan's feelings, because cold-hearted people were the hardest to control, and the family had worried a lot about him over the years.
From a lady from a wealthy family to a daughter of an aristocrat, if Ryan was hungry, he would have enough maids to change one every day, and never the same one twice.
Ryan also knew these things. How should I put it? Just like the superheroes in those movies, if they can't deal with you, they can deal with the people around them. Human emotions are the biggest weakness.
But he did not regret it. Ryan wanted to be a human being, not an emotionless ghost.
"So you brought Hua here specially?"
"This has nothing to do with me. The medal ceremony was proposed by the Operations Department, and your junior sister has performed very well in the past two months. She and Kevin are both representatives. You know that propaganda is also very important."
I know it's not that simple, but I just can't find any fault with it. I can only say that those who can become members of parliament are not stupid.
Ryan waved his hand to let the bodyguards leave, opened the car door himself, sat in the back seat, and looked up at his brother.
"Then let's hurry up and settle the task."
Chapter 94: A dull wooden stake!
The turmoil in Mu Continent originated from a hint, also at the airport. A quick meeting determined the fate of several Fire-Chasing Senators and several multinational companies.
Ryan fulfilled the hint perfectly and didn't care about the shit in the parliament, he just wanted to get the 'reward'.
The stretched sedan is luxurious, with soundproof glass separating the cab from the back seat which is equivalent to a small living room.
The leather seats are soft, with family patterns painted on the backs. Cigars and fine wine are placed on the small coffee table. The LCD screen plays soothing music. The shock absorption effect is also excellent, and you can hardly feel the bumps of the car.
It was much more comfortable than that broken pickup truck, but Ryan was in a bad mood. If he had to choose, he would rather squeeze in the pickup truck with Mebius.
"Top-quality Hawala cigars, thirty-year-old whiskey, take your pick." Wayne pointed at the coffee table, and seeing Ryan's expressionless face, he laughed at himself, "I forgot that you don't smoke or drink. You obviously have that kind of power, but you live like an ascetic."
"I'm just not interested in enjoyment. It's not as noble as you think." Ryan shook his head slightly. To put it bluntly, the pressure of collapse left him no time to corrupt.
He preferred to listen to the sound of spatulas in his rental house in Hua, or eat junk food in the snack street that the big shots didn't even bother to look at.
"So I'm confused. Your background and behavior are totally inconsistent. What is the purpose of life?"
"Incomprehensible?"
"No, just a little curious."
Ryan smiled disdainfully and said calmly, "If a person born in the slums suddenly sat in this car and listened to you asking about the meaning of life, do you think he would become the carrier of the Herrscher?"
These words were so hurtful that the man's elegant smile froze and he put down his cigar awkwardly.
He had no way of answering this. Even the Fire Moth's psychological warfare department had given a pessimistic answer. Humanity would never lack contradictions and darkness, which were the breeding grounds for the Herrschers.
No matter noble or humble, rich or poor, healthy or sick, just like those sects, they regard the Herrscher as apostles sent by God and hope that they can cleanse the world.
People are born unfairly, but they are equal in death.
"I didn't expect you to say such things. It's really inconsistent with your background."
"Maybe I have seen too much, Wayne. Lower your head, and you will see many things that are hard to understand." Ryan smiled faintly, and didn't say much, just the desert town he saw this time.
Life is hell. If there is a Herrscher who wipes them out instantly, perhaps they will only receive thanks for being freed.
"I wanted to persuade you, but you lectured me instead." Wayne finally lit up the cigar. Amid the lingering white smoke, his eyes were sharp. "Your idea is really dangerous."
Are you afraid that I will become a Herrscher and kill you?
"You're overthinking it. I've long passed the second year of middle school and know that the world is not black and white. Of course, I can't be as optimistic as Alicia, but I am also a member of the human race, and this premise has never changed." Ryan answered seriously. He had to say this sooner or later, and it would probably appear on the general manager's desk in two hours.
"Ryan, you have always been a wise man, so I believe you." The man put out his cigar worth hundreds of euros and sat up straight. "Then let's talk business. The parliament has been reshuffled, and the six vacant seats are being discussed."
"Well, this is a hot commodity, enough to gain more power for the Fire Moth." Ryan nodded. This was also the reason why he helped, so that the Fire Moth could get more of the cake.
Even though Firemoth sucks, there is nothing else in the world that can replace it because the rest of the organizations suck even more.
"This is something the General Manager is concerned about. We will definitely have more money, supplies, and troops. We will have more and more cards to deal with Honkai." Wayne paused and said, "The proposal of the research committee has also been approved. The five research institutes of the Fire Moth will conduct research under the coordination of Dr. Mei. To be honest, many people are not convinced. It is a big challenge for her."
"Don't worry, she can handle it." Ryan was full of confidence. May's methods had been verified in the original history.
Alicia is the spiritual leader, and the final leader of mankind is Mei.
Wayne glanced at the other person, not knowing where her confidence came from. The girl was only in her early twenties, but she was the director of five research institutes, coordinating and planning hundreds of billions of funds. Even he found it a bit magical.
But the collapse is terrible, and now is not the time to look at qualifications. Let her do it first, and if it doesn't work out, replace her with someone else.
As for the research committee, it has no real power and is not important.
"Finally, according to your request, Velvet and Forget-Me-Not have joined the Fire Moth. To be honest, they are both talented people."
“The person I recommend can’t be wrong.”
"I hope I'm wrong." Wayne leaned forward and said word by word, "It seems like you are really trying to save the world."
