It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 677 [095] Whitehall

In the central tower, on the 6th floor which is not open to the public, Dr. Chen was standing in the white corridor waiting to be summoned.

The acid rain and snowstorm outside were just like yesterday, and although the bright sky protected the inner city from the heavy snow, the tower was warm as spring.

But Dr. Chen still couldn't stop his body from trembling.

A moment later, he was led into the main hall, where he was greeted by a dazzling expanse of pure white.

The glass curtain walls and metal structures in the distance almost melted into the boundless white light.

Even with his glasses obscuring his vision, Dr. Chen still squinted.

A figure even more dazzling than light walked towards Dr. Chen. His crisp white suit was whiter and brighter than Dr. Chen's technologically advanced white coat.

"Dr. Chen, you watched helplessly as Sartre, a level 50 warrior, was killed while you only sought to save yourself. Do you understand what kind of punishment you will receive?"

The speaker's face was not clearly visible. He walked to Dr. Chen's side, his voice low yet thunderous, exploding in Dr. Chen's mind.

Amidst the spatial fluctuations, it seemed as if unseen angel wings were cutting through Dr. Chen's skin.

This is the great being who created the City of Ringstone, one of the members of the Council of Six.

“Lord Remiel,” Doctor Chen began to explain, “Mr. Satter was killed by the comical Ibash and Qin Jiandan, the young master of the Night Dragon Society. At the time, I was indeed too late and lacked the ability to provide any assistance.”

"Furthermore... for a high-ranking official like Mr. Sartre to leave the Central Tower without authorization and go to the Han family's laboratory is itself..."

"Are you saying that Sartre violated company rules and deserves to die?"

Remiel's lips seemed to be slightly upturned, but this smile chilled Dr. Chen more than acid rain and snowstorms.

"Don't forget, although Sartre was incompetent, he was the son of Gabriel and Raphael!"

Dr. Chen lowered his head further.

The 100-level officials—only six company executives (members of parliament)—are all codenamed "angels."

They are: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Sariel, and Remiel.

Michael held the highest position, while the others were slightly inferior, but they still possessed power and might that were unimaginable to outsiders.

The appearances of the "angels" are difficult to discern, and it is rumored that they are hermaphroditic, which is why it is not surprising that Gabriel and Raphael had children.

Although Dr. Chen suspected that Sartre was merely a degraded genetic clone, he dared not point it out.

In this eerie, vast space, even consciousness is swallowed up by endless white light.

"Remiel... Lord Remiel, Qin Jiandan has refused the company's bribery. The Han family, represented by the police chief, has turned against the Night Dragon Society, revoked Qin Jiandan's A-level resident status, and put a 10 billion bounty on his head—bounty hunters are frequently coming to assassinate Qin Jiandan. The company can wait and see, or at least use this to wear him down."

"As for the original clown Ibash... he uses his warp abilities to move erratically, making him difficult to locate. However, he has established a cooperative relationship with Qin Jiandan through Han Tiancheng. While the company is eliminating the Night Dragon Society and Qin Jiandan, it should be able to eliminate Ibash as well, avenging Mr. Sator..."

Remiel's smile seemed to deepen. Or rather, the humanoid lightning bolt exploded even more violently.

"Alright. Shall I invite Gabriel and Raphael over so you can repeat those words to them again?"

Sweat trickled into Dr. Chen's collar from the folds of his rather plump neck.

"I will urge Ding Julou and others, who have a grudge against Qin Jiandan, to launch a more intense attack on the Night Dragon Society, lure Ibash out, and then avenge Mr. Sartre!"

Dr. Chen gave a firm guarantee and hurriedly added to it.

"This will reduce internal losses within the company and, incidentally, strike at the pro-Night Dragon faction within the three major families! I will do everything in my power to make this happen and give Gabriel and Lord Raphael an explanation!"

Through Dr. Chen's intensely reflective glasses, Remier looked at the unique pupils belonging to the medical clone.

“Alright, I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself. However, if there’s no improvement after four Sabbaths, you’ll be held accountable by Gabriel and Raphael. They’re not as merciful as I am.”

Feeling like he had just escaped a disaster, Dr. Chen slightly raised his eyes.

"In order to achieve my goal, could I activate the mole that the company has planted in the Night Dragon Society?"

Suddenly, a strong wind arose! Dr. Chen felt invisible wings sweep across his face.

In an instant, several wounds appeared on his face, his glasses shattered and scattered everywhere, the cuts as smooth as a mirror.

Dr. Chen swayed, gritted his teeth, and covered his face, which was spurting blood, with one hand.

Having already answered with his actions, Remiel mercifully offered further explanation.

"We went to great lengths to plant a mole next to Qin Jiandan, and now is not the crucial time to activate him. Step aside; the Council of Six is ​​focused on Project 'The Gate.' If you can retaliate against Ibash and Qin Jiandan, temporarily quelling Gabriel and Raphael's anger, it will benefit the entire company."

Dr. Chen doesn't remember how he walked out of the lobby. He used the high-tech wristband on his right hand to treat the wounds on his face with irradiation.

After prolonged exposure to glare, the eyes gradually regained normal vision.

Beyond the glass curtain wall, the sky was gloomy, and the blizzard containing acidic substances was isolated and reflected by the central tower's "Bright Sky Canopy," relentlessly falling onto the outer city land outside the isolation wall.

"Hmm... It was Ibash who directly killed Sat. Instead of targeting Qin Jiandan, who is invulnerable to blades and bullets and has regeneration abilities, we should try to lure Ibash out alone. But Ibash is a tough nut to crack."

Dr. Chen shrugged, muttering to himself. "This is a real hot potato. They're forcing me to produce results within a month... I guess I'll have to go and pressure the Chief of Police and Ding Julou to get the Han and Ding families to share the burden."

A sinister smile reappeared on his face, still wet with blood.

※※※

The headquarters of the Night Dragon Society, including the medical clinic and tea room.

The heat pipe air conditioner roared as it struggled against the blizzard outside.

The little mole girl, Digger, was repeatedly tossed into the air by her new father, Tiger, only to be caught steadily each time.

"Dad, it's so tall! I'm a little scared!"

The sunglasses embedded in his face hid his fearful eyes. The little burrower with two mole-like front paws was good at digging holes and was not afraid of the dark, but he was not used to this "tossing high" game from his father.

Whenever Hu Chi tossed her near the ceiling, her limbs would writhe violently, desperately trying to touch the ground. She begged her father for mercy, but Hu Chi, who had no experience in raising children, misunderstood it as her whining.

However, her father would stop from time to time to hug her and kiss her cheek. Although the stubble was a bit prickly, it also represented his strong and protective presence.

Miyamoto Katsu sat in another corner of the tea room, diagonally opposite the Tiger Father and Daughter.

Her purpose in coming here was to sample the high-grade tea that Dr. Li used to serve his guests.

Even though she wasn't as knowledgeable as Kazama, since Kazama said this batch of tea was good, she had to come and take advantage of it.

Xia, sipping her scalding hot tea, finally offered her opinion on Hu Chi's "tossing high" game.

"Captain Tiger, your daughter seems to be afraid of heights. If this continues, I think she's going to cry."

Xia is a notorious idiot, so Hu Chi habitually dismissed Xia's statement.

"How could that be? I didn't throw it high at all. I've seen other fathers and daughters play like that all the time."

As Hu Chi spoke, he hugged Juejuezi tightly and kissed him hard on the lips.

"You like playing like this with Daddy, don't you, Digger?"

Before the mole loli could answer, Qin Jiandan and Linlin walked in, their feet covered in a light layer of snow.

The indoor temperature quickly melted the light snow. Linlin proudly presented a pair of mechanical gloves that had been hidden behind her back.

"Look, Digger! This is an upgraded mining glove that your aunt modified for you. Not only is it more powerful, but it also has the function of a subspace alarm bracelet!"

Tiger Fool placed the digger upright on the ground, and the digger thanked him profusely as she tried on the gloves. She was dizzy from being tossed around by her father. She finally managed to catch her breath for a moment.

Linlin explained in detail how to use the reinforced mining gloves to Juejuezi. Qin Jiandan, having witnessed Huchi catching Juejuezi, couldn't help but offer some advice.

"Senior brother, when you're playing with your daughter, remember to take it easy. I don't think Juejuezi really likes high-flying acrobatics."

Tiger was stunned; the many scars on his face seemed to come alive.

"Huh? But Digzi didn't say she didn't like it!"

Unable to discern the quality of the tea, Xia finally put down her teacup and jumped up from her chair.

"Young Master! I already reminded Hu Chi, but he just wouldn't listen! Even if he's your senior brother, shouldn't he at least show some respect to your future wife?"

The "young master's wife" mentioned by the red-haired female ninja was, of course, referring to herself.

After Linlin finished introducing the gloves, she noticed the unease in the mole girl's expression. She crouched down and placed her hands on the mole girl's shoulders.

"Little one, did Daddy bully you? If you've been wronged, you must tell Auntie, and Auntie will stand up for you!"

Tiger immediately surrendered, saying, "Linlin, don't scare me. If you say anything bad about me to Master, I'll be in big trouble!"

Qin Jiandan took a step closer and said to Hu Chi, "Ding Jingshuang made a special call, wanting to discuss a cooperation on the saturated crystal mine with the Night Dragon Society. She designated you as the contact person. When you contact her, remember to do something to secure more benefits for the Night Dragon Society."

Tiger Fool told Digger to wait there, and then reluctantly walked out of the teahouse.

Seeing the blank look on Juejuezi's face as he stared towards the door, Xia teased, "That's a call from your new mom. Your dad doesn't want you anymore now that he has a new mom!"

Qin Jiandan flicked Xia's forehead with a flick. Xia dramatically fell backward and slumped into a chair, looking as if she had been shot and killed, her drooping red ponytail suggesting massive head bleeding.

"Young Master really has no sense of humor... Telling a child that his or her parents don't want him is a traditional skill used by people all over the world! I'm here to enjoy the tea but I can't taste it, so can't I even make a joke about a child?"

Qin Jiandan frowned slightly.

"You came here to taste the tea? Due to climate change, the tea harvest at the Eco Tower Vertical Farm was poor, and the tea that was barely delivered to Dr. Li was of inferior quality. Why would you specifically come to taste inferior tea?"

Xia suddenly realized what was happening and smashed her teacup.

"Damn it! Kazama is a liar after all!"

"Ouch! My foot is burning!!"
