The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 228 Exchange
In the interweaving of unwillingness and pain, Tōsaka Tokiomi eventually lost his life.

His eyes were still wide open, expressing his anger and confusion.

[It was too short.] This thought flashed through Kotomine Kirei's mind.

He slowly felt the feeling brought about by Tōsaka Tokiomi's hatred just now. It was a complex and indescribable emotion.

"Ha~ha~" Gilgamesh laughed at this scene, "You are indeed much more interesting than Tōsaka Tokiomi."

There was a hint of admiration in Jinshanshan's words. He looked at Kotomine Kirei as if he saw a new plaything.

Kotomine Kirei stood there quietly, his face expressionless.

All he had in his heart was the happiness and satisfaction he had just felt. As for the rest, he didn't care.

When Wes arrived at the scene, the place where the fierce battle had taken place was now silent, as if the noise and turmoil had never happened.

There was only a piece of paper lying alone at the scene, trembling slightly in the breeze.

Weiss approached with steady steps, bent slightly, and picked up the note with his slender fingers.

When you unfold it, you can see only an address and time written on it, with no other unnecessary information.

"Matou Kariya failed." Weiss whispered to himself.

However, there was no trace of worry on his face.

And there is Plan B. Everything is still under his control. No matter how the situation changes, he has a plan to deal with it.

Back in the laboratory, dim lights shone in every corner, and Alice was still lying naked on the laboratory table.

Her fair skin emitted a strange glow under the dim light, as if it were a piece of exquisite work of art.

"You're lucky. Emiya Kiritsugu has kidnapped Matou Kariya and wants me to use you in exchange."

When Alice heard this, she didn't want to pay attention to him. She just lay there quietly, her eyes empty and indifferent, like a bottomless pool, without a ripple.

However, Wes didn't feel embarrassed about this, as he was already used to Alice's reactions.

He touched Alice lightly with his scepter, his movements gentle.

In an instant, a blue light flashed in Alice's eyes. The light was mysterious and deep, as if it came from the depths of the endless universe and contained an elusive power.

Alice gently rolled down from the laboratory table, her movements smooth and graceful.

After she landed, she knelt on her knees without hesitation, leaned forward slightly, and said to Weiss with a respectful look: "Master."

Weiss looked at Alice kneeling in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

Slowly walking out of the laboratory with Alice, they met Sakura Matou at the door.

The small figure of Sakura Matou stood there quietly, and it seemed that she had been waiting here for a long time.

She lowered her head, her long purple hair cascading down on either side of her face, obscuring her expression.

She was silent, like a quiet statue.

Perhaps because she was afraid of Weiss, or perhaps because she had not yet recovered from the psychological trauma, she did not dare to raise her head or make a sound.

Weiss looked at the timid little girl in front of him.

He reached out and gently touched Matou Sakura's little head: "I will bring Kariya back."

Weiss's voice was low and firm.

"Thank you." Sakura Matou's voice was very soft, like the buzzing of a mosquito or fly.

If Weiss's body hadn't been strengthened, he wouldn't have been able to hear what she was saying.

This was the first time Sakura Matou communicated with Weiss, and there was a hint of nervousness and shyness in her voice.

Weiss stopped and looked back at Matou Sakura.

"Don't worry." He said again.

Upon hearing this, Matou Sakura raised her head slightly and smiled faintly. That smile was like a flower in spring, shy yet full of life.

"Very cute, smile more in the future." After leaving these words, Wes turned around and left with Alice.

Following the address on the note, Weiss came to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.

There was silence around the factory, with no one in sight.

The barren land is overgrown with weeds, and the dilapidated factory buildings creak in the wind, telling the story of their former glory and present desolation.

Emiya Kiritsugu must have set a trap in advance by choosing this place.

Weiss knew this, of course, but he wasn't worried.

When he walked into the factory, two sniper rifles were already aimed at him.

The black muzzle of the gun was like the eyes of the god of death, emitting cold murderous intent.

Both sniper rifles were loaded with magic bullets from Kiritsugu's ribs, the origin of "severance" and "combination."

These magic bullets were made by removing the first and second ribs from Kiritsugu's flanks, grinding them into powder, and then condensing them through spiritual engineering. This was then used as the core material and sealed into 66 bullets.

They were specially prepared for the Holy Grail War and are extremely powerful.

I have used up 8 of them when fighting Assassin, and now I have 58 left.

"Master, do you want to shoot?" Hisau Maiya asked through the intercom.

Hisau Maiya and Emiya Kiritsugu occupied the two commanding heights of the factory, keeping their sights fixed on Weiss.

Hisau Maiya's voice was calm and steady, without a trace of panic.

Maiya was an orphan picked up by Emiya Kiritsugu on the battlefield when he was young. Since then, Maiya has been with Kiritsugu, learning the art of fighting.

While studying, she helped Kiritsugu and became his most capable assistant.

In addition to being Kiritsugu Emiya's assistant and apprentice, she is also his lover.

"Wait a minute, I'm not sure if the person coming is the real one." Emiya Kiritsugu's voice came from the intercom, his tone full of caution.

After two battles, Weiss leaked a lot of information.

They knew that Weiss could use the magic of clones, so they didn't dare to shoot easily.

Wes didn't panic at all when facing the sniper rifle aimed at him.

He was as leisurely as if he were taking an after-dinner stroll.

He closed his eyes slightly and used his heart to sense the fluctuations of magic power around him.

Soon, he sensed the magic power that Altria was deliberately emitting.

He immediately understood that it was Altria who was leading the way for him.

He walked with steady steps, turning left and right in the abandoned factory.

The surrounding environment was dark and damp, and the dilapidated machines and piles of debris exuded a smell of decay.

Finally, inside a factory, he saw Saber who had been waiting for a long time.

Saber stood tall and straight, like a beautiful statue.

"Long time no see." Weiss greeted her like an old acquaintance with a faint smile on his face.

However, Saber did not have a good face towards him.

Her eyes were filled with anger and disgust. She pointed her sword at him and shouted, "Despicable man."

Full of condemnation of Wes.
