Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

He didn't know how much time had passed when Kisara woke him up.

"Satomi, wake up."

"Ok?"

Isaac opened his eyes and saw that most of the people around him had already left.

"It's over?"

"It's been over for a while now," Kisara said helplessly.

“Okay.” Isaac stood up from his seat. “Let’s go back to the company.”

"Ah."

-

In an office of the Tiantong Civil Security Company, only Isaac and Kisara remained.

“Boss, I said I’d give you a gift yesterday.” Isaac said, taking a small box out of his pocket and placing it in front of Mugen.

"Huh?"

Mugen also remembered that Isaac had indeed told her yesterday that he would give her a gift.

Looking at the box, she suddenly drifted into a daydream.

"Judging by the size of this box, could it be a ring? Is Satomi planning to propose to me?!"

Thinking of this, Kisara covered his flushed face and shouted, "No, Satomi! It's too early for us!"

"Huh?" Isaac had no idea what Mugen was talking about.

"Although I'm very happy and willing to accept it, but..." Kisara stammered, "...you're not of legal age yet."

"The legal age?" Isaac was a little confused.

Are there age restrictions for giving gifts now?

“Well, if Satomi insists on giving it to me, then of course I’ll accept it.” Kisara said, immediately snatching the box from Isaac’s hand.

What if he regrets it and gives it to someone else? It's better to keep it for myself first.

Kisara opened the small box with a look of anticipation on her face.

Then I noticed a small screen and a red button inside.

"Huh?" Kisara stared in disbelief at the contents of the box.

Where's the ring you were promised?

"So, boss? Do you like the gift?" Isaac asked with a smile.

"This is?"

"Here's the thing, a few days ago I ordered three Tomahawk cruise missiles from Sima Heavy Industry, and they've already been placed in the launch silos I arranged beforehand. This is the launch button, boss."

"..."

Kisara was momentarily unsure what expression to make.

"And the target can be adjusted using this small screen inside the box. There's no need to worry about the security system; this thing directly logs in with the boss's fingerprint..."

"Wait, why are you giving me this?" Kisara asked, puzzled.

Aside from her remaining few enemies, there was no one else she needed to attack. And those people didn't seem to need such a weapon.

“That’s right, I was worried that after I left, the company would be targeted by other forces, so I left a safeguard,” Isaac explained. “After all, the company has already grown to this point.”

Tendo Civilian Police Company developed very rapidly, growing from an unknown small company into the largest police company in Tokyo in just a few months.

The rapid development has naturally attracted some forces that are unwilling to let the company continue to grow.

They dare not move now that Isaac is here, but who knows what they might do once he returns to Amestris.

"leave?"

Mogen was stunned after hearing Isaac's explanation. He grabbed Isaac and asked urgently:

"Satomi! You're leaving? Where are you going?"

"I……"

"You know I can't leave you!" Kisara hugged Isaac tightly. "I will never allow you to leave! You're not allowed to go anywhere!"

She was afraid that this person would disappear before her eyes, so she held Isaac tighter and tighter.

Isaac looked at Mugen with some helplessness. To be honest, he wouldn't have chosen this time to go back if he wasn't worried about Amestoris's situation.

There are so many technologies in this world worth learning. If he had more time, he could copy all the technologies in the world and go back to the past.

But he had to go back.

"Boss, I have to go."

"What is it that you have to leave? You can stay, and we can face it together!" Kisara said, her voice trembling with tears.

"I……"

This is a difficult thing to explain. Isaac couldn't possibly tell her about Amestoris; it's enough for two people to know about things there.

He was worried that if the people of this world knew that there was another world besides the one they originally came from, and that it was a world with a much lower level of technology than this era, would they try to find it and launch military operations?

Although current observations suggest this world lacks the technology for interdimensional travel, caution is always advised. If they were to discover Amestris one day, given this world's military technology, Amestris would be at a significant disadvantage in a war, even with alchemists on their side.

Although Isaac believed he could handle fighting the country, it meant that civilians could potentially be injured in the battle.

The people of Amestoris are someone Isaac has always cared about, and he will not allow them to face even the slightest possibility of danger.

Looking at the tear-streaked girl in front of him, Isaac decided to tell a lie first.

"Well, I'm planning to go to mainland China for further studies."

"Go to China? What do you want to study, Satomi?" Kisara asked, puzzled.

"Hmm... cooking skills."

"what?"

“I’m very interested in cooking, so I plan to leave for a few months to go there and learn from a master,” Isaac began to ramble.

"I see. Satomi, really, don't scare me like that." Kisara wiped away the tears still on her face and smiled again.

She thought the person in front of her was going to leave forever. Whether it was fleeing or changing jobs to another company, it was not something she wanted to see.

“Yes, that’s it.” Isaac breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mu Geng believed his lies.

He doesn't have a habit of lying.

However, if we can successfully return this time, it's not impossible, based on the principle, to return to this world again.

"By the way, Satomi, is your missile very powerful?" Kisara asked, holding the box in his hand.

She had heard rumors about Tomahawk missiles before, which could accurately strike targets from extremely long distances and were said to be quite destructive.

For a moment, she felt as if she were holding something incredible in her hand.

“Oh, it’s like this. The only missiles we can buy from Sima Heavy Industries are the BGM-109C conventional land-to-ground missiles. I personally think that’s not what we need, so I secretly made some minor modifications to it,” Isaac said.

"A minor modification?"

"Yes, I removed the single high-explosive warhead it carried..."

"I see."

Kisara breathed a sigh of relief. After the missile's warhead was removed, its power was greatly reduced, and its attack power was basically limited.

Looking at the small box in his hand, Kisara felt an urge to locate it in the homes of a few of the Tendo family's enemies and press the button.

However, Isaac continued at this point:

"I removed the original warhead and replaced it with a nuclear warhead with a yield of 100 kilotons."

"..."

"This renovation took me a lot of effort."

"Um..." Kisara looked at Isaac stiffly, "Could you say it again?"

"I replaced the high-explosive warhead with a nuclear warhead, with a yield of 100 kilotons."

"This……"

Kisara stared in horror at the small box in her hand. She felt the once light object suddenly become extremely heavy, and her hand began to tremble violently.

According to Isaac, what she's holding in her hand right now is...

The button to launch a nuclear missile!

Chapter 331: On the Eve of Departure

"I think that no force in the Tokyo area should dare to mess with the boss right now."

"I don't think anyone in all of Japan would be this reckless..."

Kisara looked at the small box in his hand with shame.

She is now the only person in all of Japan who possesses a nuclear weapon.

When will Satomi leave?

"Tomorrow."

"You'll come back, won't you..."

“Of course,” Isaac said earnestly.

Kisara finally smiled.

"Is anyone going with you? Like Enju or someone else..."

“Yes, I plan to bring Senju Natsume along,” Isaac said.

“Xia Shi…this child is so smart, he can definitely be of help to you,” Kisara said with a smile. “But before that, you’ll need to explain things to Enju.”

"What's there to explain? It's just a long trip. I believe she'll agree."
