"You escaped, right? I'm sorry, I can't help you. I'm the leader of Hafk Babel now, and there are many things I can't do just because I want to. But you were indeed my proudest creation before, though of course not anymore."
Hide beside the nameless man, Audrey really wanted to fly over and pry open Rometheus's skull to see what was inside. Were these two stinky men so engrossed in their conversation that they were completely ignoring her?
"Sigh, considering my past relationship with your father, I'll tell you this: go find a woman who's been working with me on brain-computer interfaces. I can't say who she is, but you'll definitely find her. She can help you. Also, she has a bad temper..."
After Rometheus finished speaking, he realized that the call seemed to have come from Audrey.
“I’ve told you what you want. Let her go. Otherwise, even if you dismantle it, it won’t make a difference. Hafk will eventually find you and eliminate you, just like your father did.”
Wuming silently wrote down what Rometheus said, then hung up the phone and tossed it to Audrey, who was trembling beside him.
Where is your armory?
Wuming coldly stared at the seemingly harmless woman. How could he not know her true colors? But now was not the time to completely break ties with Hafk. He had to wait until he defused the Relink brain-computer interface, this time bomb.
"In... in that small room on the first floor."
After looking at it, Wuming glanced at Audrey and then turned and left.
"I fired a large dose of anesthetic. If you don't want so many people to die, call for help quickly."
Audrey was stunned for two seconds upon hearing this, and then she hurriedly began to call for help.
After taking a few pieces of equipment from the armory, Nameless turned and left this place of trouble.
Chapter 147 The Nameless Man's Background
"Oh dear, what a mess! I'm torn between them, they're both my flesh and blood!"
Inside Rometheus's office in the Tower of Babel.
Ella looked speechlessly at Rometheus, who was starting to "go crazy" again. She used to think he was a calm, witty, and handsome "old man," but now he seemed to be nothing more than a large-scale "problem child."
"Teacher, who is this person named Wuming?"
Ella was also curious about this ruthless person who could directly attack Audrey's hometown, especially since this person seemed to have a connection with her teacher.
"Is it called Nameless now? Oh well, whatever."
Rometheus suddenly let out a helpless sigh, which only made Ella more curious.
“I know his father, who is a wealthy man who invests in Hafk and is also a womanizer.”
Rometheus winked at Ella as he spoke, seemingly seeking praise.
Ella: What's this loser/simp doing here?
"Yes, yes, teacher, you're not a womanizer, it's just that the senior students don't like you."
Rometheus's face stiffened, then he continued, seemingly changing the subject:
"Ahem, continue. Wuming's real name is Elie de Mombell. He was born by accident when his womanizing father met his mother while traveling somewhere. Speaking of which, his father was quite good. He was very optimistic about my experiments and gave me a lot of resources, more than Robert and Audrey, those two poor bastards, combined!"
As Rometheus spoke, he gestured to Ella, and it was easy to tell from his tone that he and the nameless man's father had a pretty good relationship.
"Sigh! But later his father offended someone he shouldn't have, you should know that. Then his property had to be inherited by an heir, right? The ridiculous thing is that this womanizer only had one son, Wuming. At that time, Wuming was by his father's side, and the father and son had a pretty good relationship."
As Rometheus spoke, his tone gradually became lower and more subdued.
"But how old was Wuming back then? He was only in his early twenties. You must have heard what those bastards at the top of Hafk were like. They made a demand of Wuming at that time, asking him to undergo human modification experiments by the Hafk Group so that he could inherit all of his father's assets."
Ella then interrupted the dejected Rometheus, voicing her doubts:
"But teacher, you said before that you had a good relationship with Wuming's father, right? Why didn't you step in to protect him back then?"
Rometheus stared at Ella in shock, then pointed to himself:
"Huh? What did you say? You mean you let someone who was just a chief experimental officer interfere in the affairs of the Hafk Group's top management? You know, the main investor in the Tower of Babel was also the nameless old man!"
Ella was completely dumbfounded. What?! Such a huge Tower of Babel, with so many valuable instruments inside...? Her teacher is that valuable?
"Ahem, don't look at me like that. I wasn't even qualified to attend this meeting back then, but I was the one who conducted the nameless human experiments. After his father passed away, even though I wasn't familiar with him, I still had to take care of him, right?"
"Wait, wait, wait, then why is he now resorting to such extreme measures, demanding that you remove his brain-computer interface?"
Rometheus sighed helplessly:
"It's also my fault for being incompetent back then. When the higher-ups were leaving, I was going to install the Relink brain-computer interface on him, making him look like Demulan. Don't look at it, don't tell Demulan's secretary. Demulan is very smart, she probably noticed it too. But Wuming, think about it, he's just a hot-blooded young man in his early twenties, he usually doesn't consider the consequences of his actions."
"The brain-computer interfaces of Demulan and the nameless one have both been tampered with?!"
Ella questioned Rometheus before her:
"You told me back then that you and Senior Zoya didn't create the brain-computer interface to aid and abet evil, but what you're doing now..."
Seeing Ella before him, who vaguely resembled Zoya, Rometheus explained helplessly:
"Don't get excited. I told you not to get too close to Zoya before, you've been assimilated by her."
Rometheus pointed to the stool next to Ella, gesturing for her to sit down.
"Humph!"
Hearing Rometheus say this, she pouted and sat down, unconvinced. She needed a reasonable explanation.
"Sigh, you've been by my side for so long, Ella, do you really think someone as straightforward as Zoya can succeed?"
When Rometheus spoke to Zoya in this way, Ella was about to retort, but Rometheus stopped her.
“Many times, we don’t have a choice. We’re just puppets, puppets of the higher-ups, Jacob’s money-making puppets. Ella, I don’t expect you to understand me, but I still want to tell you that time will tell.”
"Alright, I've digressed. I guess Nameless has already managed to escape Hafk's sight, but to completely break free from his control, this brain-computer interface must be removed, after all, it's a ticking time bomb!"
"Then why didn't you just have him come here to help him demolish it?"
Rometheus took a sip of coffee and pointed to the soldiers stationed outside.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that I manage this Tower of Babel. The soldiers inside are the eyes and ears of the Hafk Group. Even my Black Hawk Squad isn't entirely under my control."
Rometheus sighed helplessly:
"Ella, you can't be like your senior Zoya. This place isn't just about ability; emotional intelligence is also very important, you know?"
Ella initially seemed to have learned something, but when Rometheus mentioned emotional intelligence, she froze, rolling her eyes at him.
"Teacher, stop bragging. What kind of emotional intelligence do you have? You've offended all the higher-ups. If you weren't valuable enough, you would have been fired long ago."
Rometheus never expected that his student, who had been with him for so many years, would betray him. His heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp dagger.
"Waaaaah, Ella, how could you say that to me? I'm leaving!"
Ella watched as Rometheus ran back to continue his experiment, sobbing, and shook her head helplessly. "Oh well," she thought, "he's still my teacher, no matter how much he dislikes me."
Meanwhile, after returning to a secluded house, Nameless took out his computer and began searching for the information that Rometheus had told him earlier.
. . . . . . . . . .
"Zoya? In...GTI?"
Anonymous said, "Wouldn't going there just cost me my life?"
Chapter 148 Mai Xiaowen/Luna's Defeat Today
Meanwhile, Wuming, who was pondering how to contact Zoya, was holding a dazed-looking Xiaohao in his arms with a triumphant air, watching the two of them collapse helplessly to the ground, and said disdainfully:
"That's it? I thought you two were being so serious because you had some secret weapon, but it's just this? Tsk tsk tsk, come on Xiao Hao, give your sister a kiss, *kiss*!"
Mai Xiaowen/Luna: Damn it, she's supposed to be a doctor, how come her close-combat skills are so strong! ___*(  ̄皿 ̄)/#____
Mai Xiaowen turned her head and looked at Luna with dissatisfaction, then asked in a low voice:
"Damn, is your plan even going to work? You're talking about close-quarters combat? The two of us together got taken down. What were you thinking?"
Turning around, he saw his precious little Hao Hao enduring the "torture" of the old woman Zoya with a "painful" expression.
Luna could only scratch her head awkwardly. She knew that Zoya's close combat skills were better than hers, which was why she brought Mai Xiaowen along to try it out. But who could have known that both of them would be defeated by Zoya, and in front of Xiao Hao no less, making her lose face completely.
Luna: I'm feeling really bad, but I don't know how to say it. ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3
"Hmph, trying to team up against me? Sigh, you're still too naive. Xiao Hao, did you see that? Don't play with these two anymore. They're too weak. Even the two of them combined can't give me any fun!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the two defeated dogs on the ground, and arrogantly said, towering above them:
"Go train for a few more years. You're still too green to compete with me. Xiao Hao is mine now, understand?"
So the two losers could only watch helplessly as their precious Xiao Hao was taken away by the Great Demon King Zoya, while Roy, who had been watching the drama unfold, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Mai Xiaowen/Luna: Stare~~~~
Roy quickly covered his mouth, but unfortunately, the two men, who were in a fit of anger, stared at him with their red-glowing eyes.
"Dragon, save me..."
Roy turned his head to ask Wei Long, who was eating melons with him, for help, but when he turned around, Wei Long was nowhere to be seen. After looking around, he found that the kid had already hidden on the second floor and was observing the situation here.
“Wei Long, you........”
But before he could even begin criticizing Wei Long for betraying his teammates, Mai Xiaowen and Luna had already arrived in front of him.
"Roy, you seemed to be having a lot of fun watching that just now, didn't you?"
Roy: (::>_<::)
"Haha, no, that one... Well... Wei Long watched it too! Look, he's still upstairs watching it now!"
Roy gritted his teeth. Since he was going to die anyway, he had to drag someone down with him. He pointed directly to the second floor where Wei Long had been.
But Roy was dumbfounded. Huh? Where was that dragon that was just there?! Where did such a big dragon go?
"Oh? The struggle before death? If you like to see that, we'll let you experience it for yourself!"
Before Roy could react, Mai Xiaowen and Luna's fists were already flying towards his big face.
"Ah!!! Don't hit my face, don't hit my face! Oh my god, you're all my grandmas, okay? Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"
But Wei Long miraculously reappeared in the same spot, and even called Red Wolf Uluru and the others over to watch together.
"Ah, that feels good. It really needs Roy's screams to be satisfying!"
Wei Long looked down at Roy, who was wailing in pain, with a grin.
"Indeed, I don't know why, but seeing him like this makes me feel much better."
Uluru nodded in agreement.
