Crossover: Is this how it's sewn?

Chapter 18, Section 016: Renata Makes Her Move

"Damn Jormungandr, you traitorous dragon! The mighty Dragon King has actually sided with humans!" The little devil suddenly changed his enigmatic demeanor and began to curse angrily.

"Potato Chip Girl, how many times has the boss gotten angry because of Little Dragon Girl?"

"I don't know, but it definitely wasn't just once."

Su Enxi and Jiu Demai locked eyes, their gazes frantically conveying information.

"You're a girl with no connections, no job, and no income. No matter what, the boss is entrusting this task to you."

"Um."

Renata raised her head and stretched out her swan neck, her long, pale gold hair almost pure white, her skin as transparent as snow, her deep and calm eyes looking at Su Enxi, and she nodded without any expression.

"This mission involves an American pharmaceutical company called Umbrella. Their T-series virus can devour the toxins of the Philosopher's Stone, which is very important to the boss."

"The good news is that we have shares in this company, just a small amount, only three per thousand."

"Then why don't you go by yourself?"

After hearing Mai Shude's question, Renata looked at Su Enxi again.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you all looking at me like that? I went to Stark's hearing last time, it was so tiring."

"Besides, that bastard who screwed me over last time is a shareholder of Umbrella. Why would I feel uncomfortable going to him?"

Renata and Mai Shude understood, but Mai Shude still pressed on: "So even your industry's Black Gold Swan has fallen?"

What does it mean to be "soldier defeated and buried in the sand"?

"It's just that my shorting attempt on Stark failed; it didn't affect my ability to make money."

Su Enxi retorted with a flustered question and explanation, stating that her cultivation level was something Xu Zhenqing could never reach in ten thousand years; she was just a novice who could easily defeat a master.

If you can't get something from the stock market, but you get it from outside the stock market, what is that if not a chaotic free-for-all?

Mai Shude quickly went to comfort Su Enxi. Renata watched Su Enxi eat potato chips and probably knew that she had calmed down, so she went to do her mission.

"To be a useful person, always." Renata seemed to be thinking something on the plane.

As night falls, the Umbrella Corporation in Raccoon City is brightly lit, ready to welcome a major client.

That evening, when Renata arrived at Umbrella, she was given a special welcome and toured the underground base in Raccoon City.

Renata looked at Marcus's holographic projection without saying anything.

Marcus specifically arranged a gladiator show between Tyrant and Licker as a staple of the program to demonstrate the company's bioweapons capabilities.

In the dimly lit arena, the lights focused on two figures—one a massive, muscular tyrant, and the other several agile, hairless lickers.

With the sound of a signal flare, the battle began.

The Lickers, relying on their keen hearing, quickly located the tyrant's position.

Their eyes have degenerated, but their hearing is exceptionally acute, capable of detecting the faintest sounds.

The Lickers attacked the tyrant with incredible speed, their long tongues like sharp swords aimed directly at his vitals.

The tyrant displayed its power and resilience, its every step causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Faced with the Licker's attack, the Tyrant retaliated with its thick arms, each punch accompanied by a whooshing sound.

During the battle, the Tyrant displayed its almost indestructible vitality, showing no fear even when scratched by the Licker's claws.

Renata watched the brutal performance quietly, her eyes revealing calmness and analysis.

She spoke to Marcus with a blank expression, as if reading from a prepared script: "These creatures' combat capabilities are indeed impressive, but what I'd like to know is the specific effects of the T-virus enhancement fluid on humans."

Marcus smiled slightly and led Renata away from the arena to a more private observation room.

There, through the one-way glass, they could see a young man undergoing various physical fitness tests.

The man's eyes revealed determination and focus, and his muscles gleamed with a healthy glow under the light.

"This is a clone of our shareholder Xu Zhenqing. He received an injection of T-virus enhancement fluid," Marcus explained. "His physical strength, reaction speed, and self-healing ability have all been significantly improved."

Renata carefully observed the clone Xu Zhenqing's performance, noticing the elegance and power in each of Xu Zhenqing's jumps and sprints.

Renata continued, "Is he capable of performing more complex tasks?"

Marcus nodded and pressed a button.

Then, the Red Queen began to introduce the performance and data of the clone Xu Zhenqing displayed on the screen in the room in various simulated combat environments.

The clones are not only able to withstand physical attacks, but also to quickly analyze tactical situations and formulate effective countermeasures.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the clone in the observation room glanced at the one-way glass.

"Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the clones have never been able to match the brain capacity of the original, and can only be considered defective products. After the original underwent a second round of enhancement, it was able to master the ability of psychic powers. Although the clones also have this ability, it is too insignificant."

The latest novel is first published here!

"If an ordinary person can reach half the level of a clone, that would be considered excellent, but killing a few B-grade hybrids is a piece of cake."

Renata nodded, as if reading from a prepared script with even greater fluency: "Even half of that is astonishing. However, I need to meet that Xu Zhenqing."

A hint of impatience flashed in Marcus's eyes, but he still patiently said, "Of course, beautiful lady."

Guided by Marcus, Renata took a private plane directly to the landing pad of the Marcus family's villa in New York.

Led by a servant, Renata passed through the magnificent hall and arrived at an elegantly decorated study.

Inside the study, Xu Zhenqing, who had just returned from playing a role in the body of the Holy Lord sculpture, sat on a carved wooden chair, holding a document in his hand, his brows furrowed.

Marcus smiled and introduced, "My lord, this is our friend from afar, Renata. She is very interested in our T-virus enhancement fluid."

Xu Zhenqing raised his head, his sharp gaze scrutinizing Renata, and gave a slight nod in welcome. Renata, however, remained expressionless and replied calmly, "Mr. Xu, I've heard you're the creator of the T-virus enhancement fluid. Could you perhaps demonstrate its effects?"

Xu Zhenqing smiled knowingly, put down the documents in his hand, and stood up: "Of course, but I have a condition."

Renata frowned slightly: "What are the conditions?"

Xu Zhenqing walked to the window, drew back the curtains, and pointed to the lawn outside: "Let's go there, let me show you."

The three of them went to the lawn outside the villa. Xu Zhenqing took off his coat and handed it to Marcus, revealing his muscular upper body.

He took a deep breath, his muscles tensed instantly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Just then, Renata suddenly made her move, and an invisible force attacked Xu Zhenqing.

Xu Zhenqing thought to himself, "Is this the Word of Power—Mirror Eye?" He easily dodged Renata's sneak attack.

Type 50: Can control the airflow within the area.

It has less power, but it can precisely control the airflow to guide projectile weapons, though it is less effective than "Wind King's Eye".

Mirror Eye No. 55: Analysis and Copying.

"What do you mean by this?" Xu Zhenqing asked coldly.

Renata remained expressionless: "I just want to confirm whether the T-virus enhancement fluid is really as powerful as the legends say."
