Foreigner's Journey

###Chapter 72 Death of President Shinra###

Although he is at the apex of power in the entire world, he can decide the life and death of countless people with a single thought.But at this moment, President Shinra only felt endless fear and trembling.

The person in front of him is a monster that cannot be bound by money, power, or beauty!

Was it his plan to destroy the Seventh Pillar that angered him?But haven't those stinky gutter rats in the lower realms been silently used to struggling between mud and humbleness?Why, it's obviously just a group of ants, why do you have a heart of resistance against Shinra! ?

Just as Heather was about to swing the mace to get rid of President Shinra, she suddenly grinned, turned around and swung the iron stick heavily towards the side platform!

The violent shock wave brought by the mace was cut off neatly, and Sephiroth's lone figure stood between the glass shards on the platform, his long silver hair fluttering in the night wind.

"Sure enough, your target is also this old guy."

Heather picked up the mace 'Narakugawa', and her thoughts continued to rise: "Sephiroth, the battle just started, don't try to escape!"

Sephiroth!President Shinra was shocked, is what Palmer said true?Sephiroth really returned from hell, if that's the case... the seriousness of the situation is far beyond what he expected.

Sephiroth looked at Heather no longer with contempt, but was extremely serious, and his deep and magnetic voice sounded: "...name?"

"Heather." Heather is ready to fight. Sephiroth is the strongest opponent he has ever met in various worlds, and he deserves 120 points of concentration.

"Heh... Heather? I remember your name."

Sephiroth showed a cold smile: "Let's save the duel between you and me for later, first of all..."

The three-meter-long authentic knife in his hand suddenly flashed a gloomy light, and President Shinra, who was not far away from him, swayed, split into two directly from the middle, and fell to the ground with two thuds.

So fast... Heather frowned, the sword was faster than when she was fighting with herself just now, did she hold back her hand before?

The sound of footsteps in the distance gradually approached, and then the door of the president's office was slammed open. Claude rushed in first with a destruction sword in his hand, and the rest followed closely. Through the door, he could see a huge wolf shadow approaching in the distance. It is entrenched in the central hall of the top floor building.

As soon as Claude came in, he saw Sephiroth. Without saying a word, he ran a few steps faster and jumped forward, holding the handle of the destruction sword tightly with both hands, and slashed at Sephiroth!

It's just that this extremely ferocious move is full of loopholes in Sephiroth's view. He lightly turned the blade from bottom to top and slashed at the jumping Claude with a sharp angle.If it hits, Claude will follow in the footsteps of President Shinra.

Clang!

The authentic knife was firmly supported by a huge black mace, and the fierce flames that exploded between the weapons even illuminated the dark and empty office.

When Sephiroth missed a hit, he immediately jumped back, and then lightly landed on the top of the high steel pillar outside the platform, looking down at Heather and Claude: "The next time we meet, it will be the choice of this star." The moment of the planet's future."

Heather sneered: "Next time? Do you think you can escape from here?"

Others also surrounded him, faintly blocking Sephiroth's way out.Unless the opponent jumps directly from the high steel column for a cordless bungee jump, what awaits him will be a violent attack like a rainstorm.

"A pointless provocation is a sign of incompetence, Heather."

Sephiroth just let out a sneer, the tall and handsome figure gradually changed, and finally turned into a haggard man wearing a tattered cloak, no matter the shape or face of Sephiroth, he could vaguely see the number tattooed on his neck [ twenty three】.

"What!" Claude rushed forward a few steps to catch the man in the cloak, but the man lay back and fell towards the bottom of the building. The tattered cloak gradually disappeared in the howling wind.

Heather frowned. Is it Sephiroth's [Thinking Body], a remote projection realized with the help of Jenova's cells?The main body should not be far away... huh?

Suddenly, he looked up to the sky.Under the bright and clear full moon, Sephiroth was holding the headless Jenova mother body and floating in the sky, with a wing covered with black feathers growing out of his right shoulder.

So, after getting the Xenovia mother body, the Xenovia cells in his body are greatly enhanced, so can he use the long-distance projection and flight ability of the mind body?

It was impossible to catch him at this distance, and he had no ability to fly without using Lanlong Saber.Heather lowered the mace in her hand, and suddenly laughed when she looked at Sephiroth, and slowly cut her neck across with her thumb - the next time we meet again, it will kill you!

Sephiroth didn't think it was disobedient at all, instead, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, then he turned around and hugged the mother body of Xenovia, flapped his wings, and flew towards the higher and farther night sky at high speed.

Seeing that Sephiroth had left, Jesse and Barrett breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them were mortals in the true sense, and it was really hard for a god like Heather and Sephiroth to fight.

"Brother...is that you?" Tifa walked over and asked hesitantly as she looked at the huge dragon man.

Compared with the well-proportioned posture of the original senior brother wearing glasses, the oppressive feeling of the four-meter-tall dragon man covered in dragon scales is too strong.Even though the senses brought by the mind cannot be faked, Tifa still hesitated.

"Oh sorry, forgot to change back to the original form."

The mace in Heather's hand turned into thoughts and dissipated, and her figure quickly changed back to a 1.8-meter-three human body.Then, a dead silence greeted him.

Both Tifa and Alice's eyes were rounded, and the latter put his hands on his blushing pretty face and let out an intoxicated sigh.

Jesse opened his mouth like a screaming chicken pinched by the neck but couldn't make a sound, just patted his boyfriend Claude on the shoulder indiscriminately.Claude's reaction was not much better, rubbing his eyes seemed to feel that he was hallucinating.

Heather's glasses were already in his trouser pocket. At this moment, his slightly curly black hair was pulled back casually, his bare upper body was full of strong muscles with clear lines, and his handsome face directly shocked everyone present. , The whole person exudes a wild and wild breath, which is quite different from usual.

"...It turns out that glasses have such a great effect on hiding your appearance?" Barrett nodded with a sudden realization.

Alice jumped in front of Heather in twos and twos, her beautiful big eyes were shining brightly: "Teacher! Is this your real face? I knew it, the teacher is the most handsome!"

Tifa came back to her senses all of a sudden, and quickly ran over in front of Heather and began to fumble for his trouser pocket: "Quick, put the glasses back on quickly."

After taking out the glasses from his pocket and putting them on for Heather, Heather returned to her usual unremarkable and plain style.Only then did Tifa heave a sigh of relief, the real face of the senior brother just now scared her a little bit, but she still prefers the original appearance of the senior brother.

It doesn't matter to Heather, it doesn't matter if he wears glasses now, because there is no danger of his 'humanity' being eroded by the will of the planet.

The pressure that had been everywhere all this time suddenly disappeared, and Heather just felt extremely relaxed at this moment.

Is this what Buster said about being "gently accepted by the will of the world"?

While everyone was discussing what to do next on the platform, the whistling sound of helicopter propellers suddenly came from the distant night sky.

President Shinra is dead, Rufas Shinra finally waited for the best opportunity.

###Chapter 73 Rufas' Ambition###

, the journey of a foreigner

The surrounding lights all dimmed at some point, deliberately creating a dark area.

The helicopter with the entire fuselage painted in matte pure black landed on the huge platform on the roof, which was originally a super-large apron for parking the helicopter.Heather and the others stood in the center of the apron, watching the helicopter land steadily.

The cabin opened, and Rufas Shinra, who was wearing a white coat, walked down first, followed by two female Tux agents in Tux suits and uniforms. All three of them, without exception, carried any firearms. Obviously It's to show your attitude.

Heather had already put on a coat, and was standing in the middle of the tarmac with her arms folded, showing impatience: "You are really careful... Did you deliberately leave the Shinra headquarters building before to avoid suspicion?"

"Although I will be the number one heir after my father's death, but now is a critical moment, after all, we must avoid some gossip."

Rufas Shinra already knew everything that happened in the Shinra headquarters building when he came, and he can only say that he is very glad that he chose the right partner.He snapped his fingers behind him, and a female Tax agent with blond shoulder-length short hair picked up a beautiful black leather suitcase, stepped forward and handed it to Heather.

"What, your own life money?" Heather didn't answer, but asked jokingly.

Rufas smiled: "Please don't say such terrible things casually, this is my unilateral thank you."

Barrett got a hint from Heather, stepped forward to take the box, and as soon as he opened it, he found that the box was shining with all kinds of lights, and there were all kinds of magic crystals neatly stacked inside, including rare varieties such as purple attribute stones and red summoning stones .There is also a small book specially placed in the box, which lists the names and effects of the magic spar in detail according to the number.

"Most of them are natural varieties, not man-made cheap ones." Jesse has done a lot of research on this aspect, and he immediately saw that the quality of these magic crystals is surprisingly good.

"Unfortunately, Shinra Company's only Bahamut Summoning Stone has disappeared along with Sephiroth."

Rufas really wanted to find some good things for Heather, so he should try his best to win over such a high-quality and powerful ally.However, the Bahamut Summoning Stones are too rare. With the war and the development of the times, they are lost in every corner of the world or directly annihilated and returned to the stream of life.

Heather didn't like this: "You are indeed very courageous, and you dare to appear in front of me like this. If you kill you, Shinra Company will immediately fall apart, right?"

Rufas is the most suitable successor of the Shinra Corporation. If he dies here, the super kingdom that dominates the world will immediately fall apart, forming a new era of separatist rule.

"It is because I am sure that you don't want to kill me that I appear here."

The smile on Rufas’s face remained undiminished: “Once the Shinra Corporation collapses, the residents of the slums will be the first to suffer. Then the whole world will immediately break out of war due to lack of resources and the loss of suppressors. Only if I live and inherit the position of president can I Maintain the current situation as much as possible, and let Shinra change the direction of progress with my will."

"The way forward?" Barrett asked suspiciously.

"Father wants to use money and force to control the whole world. On the surface, it does work. The people believe that Shinra will save them. If you work for Shinra, you will get paid. If you are attacked by terrorists, Shinra troops will come. Save them. Human life is inseparable from Mako, and the Shinra Corporation that dominates Mako is the god of mankind. But my father and I have completely different ideas."

Rufas spread his hands and talked eloquently:

"I will lead Shinra Company to change its strategy of action and take the lead in abandoning the use of Mako energy. I have been to various parts of the world over the years and have witnessed countless barren lands and human tragedies caused by excessive extraction of Mako. Mako is not necessary, I will prove this to the world. Of course, it is definitely unrealistic to completely abandon Mako all at once. This process needs to be done gradually, but Shinra will develop a more suitable energy source during this period and become a leader in the energy industry again. At that time, under my leadership, Shinra will once again become the hero of all mankind."

"Wow... I've seen President Shinra's speech on TV. This young master is just as talkative as his father. He really deserves to be a father and son." Jesse whispered into Tifa's ear, teasing Tifa covered her mouth and laughed happily.

"I'm not interested in knowing your ambitions." Heather interrupted Rufas' passionate inauguration speech impatiently: "If you want to survive, then you have to show your unique value."

In the original work, Rufas was not a good bird. Although he finally corrected the evil and returned to the good, but in the main story, there was no lack of obstacles for the protagonist and his party.If the other party's answer does not satisfy Heather, then Heather will really kill here.Anyway, the deal has already been completed, so it doesn't count that Heather broke the agreement.

Rufas raised his hand to stop the restlessness of the two female Turks agents, and the smile on his face was as perfect as when he first met Heather:

"Shinra Corporation is the most powerful in the world in terms of money and intelligence capabilities. Although I don't know why Sephiroth clashed with you and even almost demolished half of the Shinra headquarters building, I think the relationship between you and Sephiroth The battle is not over yet, right? I can fully mobilize the resources of Shinra Corporation to help you search for Sephiroth around the world. It is difficult for you to go all over the world to find someone who deliberately hides, especially if the other party is The former strongest fighter in the world who is very good at concealing his identity."

As he said that, the female Tax agent behind him brought another box, which contained a beautifully styled flip phone: "This is a PHS portable mobile phone, the latest mobile phone developed by Shinra. We will pass this phone Keep in touch with you, once there is news about Sephiroth, I will inform you in time."

Heather raised her eyebrows. It's not a smart phone. It seems to be different from the reset version of FF7.

Seeing that Heather didn't refuse, Rufas was determined, looked at the others with a smile on his face, and bowed slightly: "Everyone, although the Shinra Company under my father's rule has had all kinds of unhappiness with you, But I guarantee that the new Shinra Company will not let you down."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling face, and Heather, the leader of the team, didn't say anything to refute, so everyone slowed down.Even Barrett, who always hated Shinra, didn't say anything more.

"President..." The female agent stepped forward to signal Rufas to pay attention to the time.

Rufas smiled slightly, and looked at Heather: "We are running out of time, and the various executives in Shinra will definitely come to investigate father's situation. At that time, I will concentrate on suppressing them and controlling the power. I might offend you a little bit.”

"You mean...?" Claude frowned.

"I will order to send the Shinra army to pursue Sephiroth and everyone. Of course, the real main force is to pursue Sephiroth, and the number of Shinra troops responsible for chasing you will not be many, and most of them are low-power and low-end weapons. Low-ranking soldiers. As you know, new officials have to put on a show when they take office, after all, you are also the murderers who killed the president and destroyed the Shinra headquarters building."

Heather said sarcastically: "I'm afraid that many diehards loyal to your father will be stuffed into the troops chasing us? You are really good at using us to eradicate dissidents, young master."

"It's nothing more than mutual help between allies, isn't it difficult for you?"

Rufas smiled sincerely:

"In about 30 minutes, the chasing forces will surround the Shinra headquarters building. During this period, you can stop for a while when you pass the exhibition hall on the first floor. I have prepared a small gift for you. I believe you will like it."

###Chapter 74 Nibelheim Incident###

, the journey of a foreigner

The elevator was going down. Compared with the arrogance when going upstairs, Heather and others were obviously much more low-key when they went downstairs.

After all, not everyone likes to climb upstairs with bare hands from the outside and then jump directly. Since there is a more convenient option like an elevator, it will naturally be listed as the first choice.

Looking at the constantly jumping floor numbers, Barrett, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Heather, I still don't believe Rufas Shinra. I don't believe a single word of his bold words!"

Heather glanced at him: "Did I say I believed it?"

"Huh? Then you still..." Barrett scratched the back of his head, not understanding why Heather would accept Rufas' alliance.

"Young Master is right about one thing, we are not enough to find Sephiroth."

Heather put her hands in her pockets and spoke casually:

"This world is so vast, only Shinra, which has bases all over the world, has enough ability to find Sephiroth. There is free labor to help find people, why not use it?"
