Asura in Arknights

Elena, standing to the side, stared in disbelief at the incredibly fast adoption process, which took less than ten minutes to complete all the formalities.
"Isn't this Elena? What are you doing here?"
At this moment, Li Ang finally noticed Elena running up from behind and casually asked her a question.
"Oh, right! I'm here to get Dr. Kal'tsit's stamp."
Elena was so engrossed in watching the show from the sidelines that she almost forgot why she had come here.
"Stamping? Dr. Kal'tsit should be stamping right now, you should go quickly."
Elena glanced at the girl named Rosemary, who was indeed a very cute child, and then her gaze lingered on Li Ang's face for a moment.
She felt that Li Ang looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. However, Elena quickly stopped her pointless guessing and turned to run into Kal'tsit's office.
Elena shouted loudly,
"Dr. Kal'tsit! Help! I've accidentally lost my medical report, please stamp it again!"
-------------------------------------
Chapter Four
Elena burst into Kal'tsit's office, making a ruckus.
At this moment, Kal'tsit was signing her name on several documents and taking out the official seal of Rhodes Island.
Hearing Elena's shout, Kal'tsit sighed helplessly and said,
"...Give it to me."
"Thank you for your help, Dr. Kal'tsit."
Elena smiled sheepishly and quickly placed her medical records on Kal'tsit's desk.
After glancing at the record and confirming that there were no problems, Kal'tsit stamped it with the official seal.
"Perfect timing, could you take this document with you as well?"
As Kal'tsit spoke, she handed the medical records, along with the document she had just written, to Elena.
"No problem, just leave it to me!"
Elena saluted and answered confidently.
She's right outside the office, just a few steps away. How could she possibly lose the documents?
As she left the office, Elena couldn't resist her curiosity and secretly peeked at the document Kal'tsit had asked her to deliver.
The document itself was just a very ordinary custody transfer agreement, nothing special. What really caught Elena's attention were the names signed at the end of the agreement.
Kal'tsit.
Lyon S. Kennedy, and Adele N. Kennedy.
Upon seeing these two names, Elena understood the relationship between the two.
"Wow... they're actually a couple..." Elena muttered softly.
Lyon... The clue to this name was quite obvious, but because Elena had only been in the Great Knight Territory for a little over half a month, she had no idea what the name actually meant.
After satisfying her curiosity, Elena ran out with the two documents.
In the corridor, the young couple remained where they were, whispering something to the little girl with film.
"Sir Knight, this is a document that Dr. Kal'tsit asked me to give you."
Elena ran up to Li Ang, picked out her medical records from the documents in her hands, and handed the rest to Li Ang.
Thanks.
As Li Ang flipped through the custody agreement, he casually asked, "Elena, you seem quite excited?"
"Of course."
Elena wasn't just excited, she was extremely excited.
Upon hearing Li Ang's question, Elena immediately began to chatter on and on, "The Grand Knight Territory is not bad, but I still prefer Columbia. The environment here... is a bit too noisy."
As a researcher who habitually reverses day and night, the environment of the Great Knight Territory was too noisy for Elena. Even though Rhodes Island was attached to the edge of the Great Knight Territory, she couldn't sleep well even when she tried to catch up on sleep during the day.
After all this arguing, Elena is starting to have a nervous breakdown.
Fortunately, these torturous days are almost over. How could Elena not be excited at the thought of finally returning to familiar Colombia?
"You're right."
After listening to Elena's complaints, Li Ang nodded in deep agreement.
Fortunately, his soul was strong and he didn't need much rest. In addition, the area of the Light Manor was large enough, so Li Ang did not have the same problem for the time being.
However, he could understand Elena's complaints.
"But...it's very quiet in the city at night, and isn't nighttime the normal time to rest?"
Hearing their conversation, Adele couldn't help but speak up, saying that what they were talking about was a problem that would never occur in a normal routine.
Upon hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh, "You wouldn't understand. There are many things that you can only do when it's quiet at night and you're inspired. Doing them during the day will actually reduce your efficiency."
“That’s right, that’s right. There’s absolutely no motivation to sit down during the day.” Elena nodded in agreement.
"Is that so? I don't quite understand..."
Seeing how certain the two of them were, Adele seemed somewhat persuaded.
"Oh right, I don't think I've had a chance to introduce you yet. My real name is Li Ang, this is my wife Adele, and this is... you should have heard her just now, she's our newly adopted child, you can just call her Rosemary."
On the custody transfer agreement, Li Ang saw Rosemary's real name: Narcissa.
However, it's best not to use Rosemary's real name to upset her until her condition stabilizes.
"Hello, Madam, I am Elena Ubica."
Perhaps it was the first time Adele had been called "Madam" by someone else, and she seemed a little uncomfortable, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks. "Um... hello, I've heard Leon talk about you before."
"Hello, Rosemary Sister."
After exchanging pleasantries with Adele, Elena looked at the quiet rosemary standing to the side.
She bent down, gave a friendly smile, and extended her hand to Rosemary.
Elena harbored no ill will, and thus did not provoke Rosemary's brothers.
Rosemary hesitated for a moment, then timidly reached out and gently shook hands with Elena before running behind Li Ang to hide.
Seeing how shy Rosemary was, Elena had no choice but to stand up regretfully, suppressing her desire to pinch her cheek.
"By the way, where's your sister?"
"Ah... I forgot..."
Upon hearing Li Ang mention her sister, Elena's excitement instantly cooled, replaced by a look of utter dismay. "Oh no, my sister is still in the dorm helping me pack. I accidentally lost my medical records, which is why I came to Dr. Kal'tsit to get replacements... She must be furious right now."
"Then why don't you hurry back?" Li Ang looked at Elena with some curiosity, wondering what she was still hesitating about.
"No... If I go straight back, my sister will definitely scold me."
Elena shook her head frantically, trying to figure out how to break the current deadlock.
Her gaze lingered on Li Ang and his group, and a brilliant idea popped into her head.
“Sir Knight, why don’t you come with me? That way we won’t have to meet at the rendezvous point anymore; we can go directly to the merchant guild.”
Surely Xingji wouldn't criticize her harshly in front of her savior, especially since there was a child present.
Moreover, this does save a lot of time, and their subsequent actions won't be so rushed.
"Alright."
Li Ang didn't have any special requests, and after thinking about it, he agreed to Elena's suggestion.
"Then I'll lead the way."
Hearing this, Elena finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dr. Kal'tsit arranged for my sister and me to share a room, it's over there."
Led by Elena, the group arrived at Rhodes Island's staff dormitory area.
Upon entering this floor, they were at a great distance when they saw Xingji standing guard at the door of a room, arms crossed.
Xingji's expression looked somewhat gloomy, and there were two tall suitcases piled up at his feet.
Seeing that her sister seemed a little angry, Elena subconsciously shrank back, but she quickly realized that she was not fighting alone now, so she mustered her courage again and walked quickly toward where Xingji was.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Xingji turned around and was somewhat surprised to see the large group of people surrounding Elena.
Before Xingji could even open her mouth, Elena spoke first, "Sister! I'm sorry I was a little late. I just happened to run into Mr. Knight and the others at Dr. Kal'tsit's place, so I brought them over."
"knight......"
Xingji murmured softly, and when she saw Li Ang's face, Li Ang could clearly see her pupils shrink slightly.
Unlike Elena, who had only been there for half a month, Xingji had been living in the Great Knight Territory for more than half a year and was quite familiar with some of the well-known figures there.
Clearly, after this brief encounter, Xingji had already recognized Li Ang's identity.
Xingji's expression didn't change much. She said softly, "It's okay, I've already packed your luggage. We can leave now."
Having overcome this difficulty, Elena breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, she did not realize that the reason why Xingji did not take her problem seriously was not because there were outsiders present, but because Li Ang's identity was beyond Xingji's expectations.
“Starry Sky... Miss Astesia, this should be our first meeting.”
Under Xingji's slightly wary gaze, Li Ang stepped forward and stood in front of her, extending his right hand. "I think you should have already recognized who I am."
Upon hearing this, Xingji simply nodded slightly, without taking the hand that Li Ang had extended.
"Of course... Hurricane Knight, the current chairman of Pol Pharmaceuticals, I think there are very few people in the entire Great Knight Territory who don't know you."
He silently complained to himself that his silly sister hadn't recognized him, and then said rather cautiously, "Chairman Kennedy, although I'm very grateful that you saved us before, I still want to ask, what exactly happened back then?"
Xingji had to be cautious.
The fact that a temporary Rhodes Island operator saved them is completely different from the fact that the chairman of a large corporation disguised himself as a Rhodes Island operator to save them. In addition, the other party happens to be the chairman of Paul Pharmaceuticals. A whole bunch of conspiracy theories immediately popped into Xingji's head.
While Xingji was making verbal probes, Elena stood there dumbfounded, not connecting the identities Xingji had mentioned earlier with the Li Ang in front of her.
She was about to say something when Xingji glared at her, and she obediently stood aside as a spectator.
"You mean that... well, it's not that I can't tell you."
After a moment of contemplation, Li Ang told the two of them part of the truth: "You should also know about the riot at Plot Zero last month. Simply put, someone didn't want to see Plot Zero develop, and someone was eyeing the company's secrets. Rhine Life just happened to jump out at this time, so I suspected that all of this was related to Rhine Life."
It is true that it is related to Rhine Labs, but Rhine Labs also played the role of a victim.
“I have a cooperative relationship with Rhodes Island, so after discussing it with Dr. Kal'tsit, I was asked to disguise myself and infiltrate the team to monitor your actions. As for why I was asked to do it personally... it’s because this matter is very important, and I don’t trust anyone else to take charge of it.”
As he spoke, Li Ang shrugged. "The explosion that followed was purely accidental. I never expected there to be anything so dangerous there."
Aside from the fact that Li Ang's initial goal was to get close to the two sisters, everything else was as he said. As for the messy things involved, Li Ang didn't mention them much.
"Ah...no wonder you always talk to Dr. Warfarin alone, and I can't hear anything."
Elena suddenly realized, recalling this easily overlooked detail: they had been secretly exchanging clues.
Elena didn't have any particular thoughts about being monitored. The other party had already explained it quite clearly. They approached her during that sensitive period and asked for important experimental data, which was indeed highly suspicious.
Anyway, they were eventually rescued, weren't they?
"So that's how it is..."
Xingji breathed a slight sigh of relief, then shook hands with Li Ang. "Sorry, I was a little too sensitive."
"Understandable."
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, the atmosphere between the two sides returned to normal.
Afterwards, Li Ang also introduced Adele and Rosemary to Xingji.
Compared to her lively younger sister, Xingji is much more mature and composed, and she has also earned Rosemary's trust.
With Li Ang helping to keep her brothers from getting too excited, Rosemary looked much more energetic.
Xingji had already helped Elena pack her luggage, and they didn't need to prepare anything else. After discussing it with Li Ang, they headed directly to the port on the other side of the Great Knight Territory to meet the caravan that the Ubika sisters had arranged to meet.
Li Ang immediately called the company driver, who took them to the port. At the same time, Li Ang handed the driver the paper custody transfer agreement and asked him to give it to Dessie in the legal department.
Similarly, the driver also helped bring Rosemary's expedited Kasimir household registration, plugging the last loophole in Rosemary's identity.
On the way to the port, Xingji suddenly asked,
