Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

“Yes, it was me. I’ve found the culprit who attacked you,” Isaac said.

"really?"

"Of course, the person is right next to me now."

"Can you bring her to the Holy Residence?" the Holy Emperor asked.

"Sure, I also have something to tell you."

After saying that, Isaac hung up the phone.

In the lab, Sumire Muroto maintained a smile, while Tina's face was filled with fear.

Isaac looked at Tina and said, "Then it's settled, come with me to the Holy Residence in a little while."

"……it is good."

She knew she had no right to resist, so she could only obediently nod.

After that, whether they live or die is entirely up to fate.

"Are you sure? The consequences for an Initiator who makes a mistake and gets taken away are terrible; there's basically no chance of survival," Sumire Muroto said from the side.

"I have a way of dealing with this."

Isaac then took Tina out of the laboratory.

An hour later, the two arrived at the Holy House.

When they entered the Holy House this time, the guards outside didn't even check their identities and let the two of them in directly.

The Holy Emperor sat in his seat, glanced at Isaac, and then turned his gaze to Tina.

"This is the sniper you were talking about?"

"Yes."

What's her name?

“Tina, Tina Sprantt,” Isaac said.

The Holy Emperor nodded and typed something on the computer on the table.

"With my authority, I checked the name Tina Sprantt with the International Initiator Oversight Agency. She is ranked ninety-eighth, is an Initiator of the Owl Factor, and is also one of the enhanced soldiers known as 'NEXT'."

"It's her."

The Holy Emperor rubbed his temples and asked, "Does seeing the gentleman there mean this matter is now over?"

"Not yet. According to what this kid's superiors told him, your itinerary was leaked by them."

Then, Isaac named several names.

Isaac didn't reveal the mastermind's name, Qi Wuzongxuan, because Rand's testimony couldn't be considered evidence, and he could guess the Holy Emperor's actions even without evidence.

Upon hearing these names, the Holy Emperor wore an expression of disbelief.

“They… have been serving our lineage since I was a child.”

"That's a real shame. After being loyal for over a decade, you turned against me in a heartbeat because of your 'Gastrea New Method'."

Isaac's words made the Holy Emperor's face grow even uglier.

Even though she was determined to overcome any difficulties to push through the bill, what happened along the way was quite disheartening for her.

"Those are your own business; we won't discuss them here."

Isaac said, patting Tina's head, "I came here to ask you about how to deal with this brat."

The Holy Emperor looked up at Isaac and asked, "Mr. Satomi, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Me? I didn't."

After gazing at Tina for a moment, the Holy Emperor continued, "Then I have a proposal, and I wonder if Mr. Satomi would accept it."

"You said."

"As a dangerous individual ranked among the top 100 in the IP rankings, she should have been directly punished. However, I think that if Mr. Satomi, ranked 15th in the IP rankings, were to supervise her, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"...Are you asking me to raise this brat?"

Isaac glanced at Tina, and Tina looked back at Isaac.

She was overjoyed to hear the Emperor's decision. From the beginning, she felt that the person in front of her was like family, and it would be wonderful if they could live together.

Faced with Tina's intense gaze, Isaac turned to look at the Holy Emperor.

"That's roughly the idea," the Holy Emperor said.

After hearing the Holy Emperor's reply, Isaac smiled slightly:

"Oh, so when do you plan to pay back my 10 billion US dollars?"

The Emperor suddenly looked embarrassed: "Why bring up money at this time?"

"I'm about to raise another child, shouldn't you pay me back for the formula money first?"

"Don't use such strange metaphors!" the Holy Emperor said helplessly. "It will be paid off within this month."

"Alright then, this should be the last meeting between you and Qi Wuzongxuan every day, right?" Isaac said, leading Tina out. "Remember to settle the commission fee then."

Isaac is gone, but the Holy Emperor remains here.

Her face looked pale and was filled with sadness.

She is now considering whether she should be ruthless in dealing with the traitors within the Holy House.

----------

“Mr. Rentaro…” Tina tugged at Isaac’s sleeve after leaving the house.

"What?"

"You have to take responsibility for me."

"Huh?." Isaac looked at Tina. "What responsibility am I supposed to take?"

"I can't go back now, I'm homeless, so Mr. Rentaro has to take responsibility for me~"

“What’s it to me? As my enemy, I’ve already been kind enough by not leaving you lying in the lab,” Isaac said. “I haven’t agreed to adopt you yet; you’ll have to make some sacrifices.”

"Give me a break..." Tina thought for a moment, then suddenly blushed and looked at Isaac, "Um... could you wait until I'm a little older?"

Her mind is now filled with R18 images.

"Huh? You think you can skip work just because you're young?" Isaac had no idea what Tina was thinking.

Just then, Tendo Kisara walked over from a distance.

“Then how about I hire her?” Kisaragi laughed.

"Hmm? Boss, you're here?"

"I heard that Satomi caught the culprit who attacked the Holy Emperor, so I came to see." Kisara squatted down and looked at Tina in front of him with a smile. "Your name is Tina, right? How about becoming an employee of Tendo Civil Security Company?"

Tina didn't know who the girl in front of her was at first, but since Isaac called her "boss," she guessed that she must be Isaac's boss.

To be able to hire someone as powerful as Mr. Rentaro, one must be incredibly strong.

Isaac looked at Mugen and said, "Is the boss alright? He used to be our enemy."

"What does it matter? They don't care," Kisara said with a smile.

She simply felt sorry for the child, and since he was capable, she hired him on a whim.

Anyway, the company isn't short of money right now.

However, Isaac thought that Tendo Kisara's performance was not simple.

'Mafia boss Al Capone hired an assassin who once tried to kill him, and now the boss doesn't care about Tina's identity at all—what a magnanimous attitude.'

“Since the boss has said so, then we’re all family from now on,” Isaac said with a smile.

"Family?"

Tina asked Isaac, "Mr. Rentaro, may I call you brother?"

"No, you are a company employee now, so I am your boss."

Chapter 271: Isaac's Amazing Teaching Material

As expected, the meeting between the Holy Emperor and Qi Wuzong Xuan made no substantial progress.

In summary:

The Holy Emperor reiterated that peace is an integral part of national stability, stated that he would steadfastly uphold this principle in the future, and declared that Qi Wuzong Xuan was an idiot.

Qi Wuzongxuan highly praised the contributions made by the Holy Emperor to Japanese society, expressed his hope that the two regions could increase cooperation in various aspects, and said that the Holy Emperor was an idiot.

The meeting proceeded in a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere.

Isaac watched the two of them from the sidelines, wondering if this was the typical tone of politicians during meetings.

It turns out there's a reason why I'm not good at politics.

After the meeting, both sides looked rather grim. Qi Wuzongxuan left with the words, "I hope you won't regret this," and then departed with his men.

After Qi Wuzong Xuan left, the Holy Emperor let out a long sigh and collapsed onto the sofa.

"Your Majesty, my mission should be considered complete today, right?"

"Yes, it's over." The Holy Emperor smiled. "Thank you for your protection these past few days, Mr. Satomi. I will transfer the commission fee to the company's account within three business days."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Wait, Mr. Satomi."

The Holy Emperor called out to Isaac.

"Ok?"

"Um..." The Holy Emperor seemed a little hesitant at this moment, "Can I continue to entrust you with my work in the future?"

"Pay back the money first, ask our boss about the rest."

"it is good……"

After Isaac left, the Holy Emperor showed a worried expression.
