Chapters 457, 830, and 831: Envy of someone is impossible to hide.
"you know me?"
Sheva Allom exchanged a surprised glance with Lyon, both seeing astonishment in each other's eyes.
Gilles Valentian seemed to have guessed what the two were thinking, and nodded slightly, saying, "Although I couldn't control my body and mind before, I did retain a trace of self-awareness, so... I hope you can forgive my previous actions."
"It's okay, after all, it wasn't your fault...you were a victim too."
Although this was not Sheva Allom's true thought, what could she say when she was about to die?
Moreover, the other party was indeed under the control of the enemy and had no choice in the matter.
"Headquarters? This is Lyon..."
While the two were talking, Leon had already contacted headquarters using the communicator and proactively reported:
"Sheva and I have successfully rescued Jill. She is alive, but she is seriously injured and urgently needs medical assistance. Please send rescue personnel here immediately."
"What? She...she's actually still alive?"
The person in charge at headquarters was clearly caught off guard, but immediately asked urgently, "Where's Kado Irwin? Have you caught him?"
"He was kidnapped by a mysterious man dressed entirely in black combat gear, and Jill was also injured by this mysterious man's accomplices..."
A hint of disgust flashed across Leon's face, but he patiently answered the other person's question, then couldn't help but urge them on:
"Forget about Ricardo Erwin, saving Jill is the top priority right now, so send medical personnel over quickly!"
However, after hearing the news that Ricardo Irwin had been kidnapped, there was a long silence on the other end of the communicator before a somewhat ruthless reply came through.
"I'm sorry, Lyon, headquarters is currently unable to send medical aid personnel to that area..."
"We have just received news that the government forces outside the [Kizuzuz Autonomous Region] have now entered a state of high martial law and have strictly prohibited any forces or outsiders from entering that area, including the [BSAA]."
"Moreover, during this mission, the West Africa Division lost several elite special operations teams, suffering heavy casualties, but Ricardo Irwin still managed to escape in the end."
"Therefore, at a time like this, the higher-ups would absolutely not agree to let more people risk their lives for the safety of one or two people..."
There's something the higher-ups didn't say: especially about the 'initial eleven' like Lyon!!
After hearing the other party's cold and insensitive reply, Leon became completely enraged and roared into the communicator:
"What do you mean? Just because the mission to capture Ricardo Irwin failed, are you just going to watch Jill die here?"
"Don't forget, without her dedication, the BSAA organization wouldn't have reached where it is today. Aren't you afraid of alienating others by doing this?"
Silence fell again on the other end of the communicator, and after a moment another loud voice, slightly cold, rang out.
“Leon, although we sympathize with your and Jill’s current situation and understand your feelings, but... headquarters had already issued a retreat order to the West Africa branch. It was your disobedience and stubborn pursuit that led to this situation.”
"The only solution right now is for you to find a medical facility nearby. Once the government forces outside the [Kizuzuz Autonomous Region] lift martial law, we will immediately dispatch a search and rescue team to your location. Okay, that's all!!"
Unload the mill and kill the donkey!
Without giving Lyon any chance to argue, headquarters decisively cut off the call.
After the General Assembly officially took over the BSAA, in order to prevent the 'Initial Eleven', who had extremely high prestige and popularity in the BSAA, from interfering too much in the organization's decision-making and management, the high-ranking officials who were parachuted in often assigned the most difficult, tiring, and dangerous tasks to Leon and others, in addition to the daily suppression and targeting. Their true intentions were already self-evident.
"Cough cough cough, Leon, thank you, but don't waste your energy..."
At that moment, Gilles Valentian shakily raised her arm, stopping Leon from calling for medical support from headquarters again, and said weakly:
"Cough cough, I... in my current condition, even being in the hospital wouldn't help..."
"Besides, you have more important things to do right now..."
"Wesker wants to release the Ouroboros virus in Africa to test its true effectiveness. You absolutely must stop him, otherwise, hundreds of millions of innocent people will die!!"
“Jill, stop talking. Don’t worry, I will stop Wesker, but you… damn it, ever since headquarters was taken over by the UN, the new leadership has become increasingly heartless. They even…”
Lyon's eyes reddened slightly, whether from sadness over his old friend's fate or anger at the cold-heartedness of the higher-ups, but before he could say anything more, Gilles Valentian interrupted him with a smile.
"I'm fine, it's not the fault of the higher-ups... Besides, I've been too tired these past two years, it's time for me to take a good rest."
"I'm entrusting the rescue of Chris and the stopping of Wesker to you. Only you... can stop Wesker, while... while there's still time..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gilles Valentian closed her eyes. Blood was still flowing from the wound in her lower abdomen, but the flow had slowed considerably, as if all the blood in her upper body was about to drain away.
Upon seeing this, Leon was filled with grief and indignation. The mysterious warrior who kidnapped Ricardo Irwin and seriously injured Gilles Valentian was certainly hateful, but the cold-blooded, ruthless, and profit-driven high-ranking members of the BSAA made Leon feel even more chilled and angry.
The current BSAA organization has long since deviated from the warm 'big family' it was when it was first founded, where all members were united, caring for and helping each other, all striving to achieve the shared ideals they envisioned.
Lyon felt a burning anger rising within him, yet he had no way to release it.
"Leon..."
At this moment, Sheva Arom, pointing weakly to the stern of the boat, which was already mostly submerged in water, offered a gentle reminder:
"This yacht is going to sink soon, we need to find a lifeboat and get out of here immediately."
Leon nodded dejectedly. Today, he not only witnessed his old friend, with whom he had fought side by side for many years, die in front of him, but also experienced the betrayal of the high-ranking officials of the BSAA whom he once trusted the most.
Even though Lyon is usually as hard-hearted as iron, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow at this moment.
Sheva Allom glanced at the man lost in grief, said nothing, and went to the side of the yacht to look for a lifeboat, shooting and killing several infected people who ran out of the cabin along the way.
"Leon, it's time to go..."
After lowering the lifeboat into the water, Sheva Allom called out to Leon, who was staring blankly at the corpse on the deck not far away, seemingly lost in thought. Then she jumped in first, controlling the small boat to prevent it from being carried away by the current.
A few minutes later, Leon finally appeared before her, but to Sheva Arom's bewilderment, he was carrying Gilles Valentian's body. "Leon, are you looking for a place to properly bury Gilles?"
Sheva Allom asked, somewhat puzzled, as she steered the lifeboat away from the sinking yacht.
"No, I want to try one last time to see if I can save Jill!" Leon said with a complicated expression.
"Huh?"
Sheva Allom seemed not to understand what the other person was saying. She looked at the lifeless corpse of Gilles Valentian with a puzzled expression, then at the thoughtful Leon, and asked somewhat uncertainly:
"You just said you wanted to revive Senior Jill? But... but the problem is she's already dead!!"
“Leon, the dead cannot be brought back to life. I know you two were very close, and you are very sad, but…”
However, before she could finish speaking, Leon shook his head and interrupted her, "Sheva, I think I told you before that I have a friend who works at [Subspace Group]?"
Faced with such a sudden turn of events, the bewildered Sheva Arom could only nod subconsciously.
Lyon thought for a moment, then said truthfully, "I remember my friend once casually mentioned to me that the [Subspace Corporation] seems to possess a miraculous drug that can bring the dead back to life. If... if the [Subspace Corporation] is willing to lend a hand, perhaps Jill can still be saved!!"
"what?"
Now it was Sheva Allom's turn to be completely dumbfounded. Her eyes widened in astonishment as she murmured the words Leon had just said.
"A drug that can bring the dead back to life... This... How is this possible? How could such a drug exist in this world?"
"If it really existed, it would probably have won the Nobel Prize long ago and become the greatest invention of the 21st century, right?"
Lyon stared at Gilles Valentian's corpse, gave a wry smile, and said uncertainly:
"Sheva, to be honest, I didn't believe there was such a miraculous drug in the world before, but... for Jill and Chris, I'm willing to try it. What if it really works?"
boom--! ! !
Just then, the yacht behind them exploded before it sank completely, creating a huge circular wave that swept out in all directions.
"Hold on tight, Lyon..."
Sheva Allom cried out in alarm and quickly steered the lifeboat forward. Once they had successfully escaped to a safe area, she turned to Leon and asked:
"Then what do we do next?"
Lyon first took out his phone and found Rebecca's number, but he didn't dial it immediately. Instead, he looked up at the increasingly clear island in the distance, which was the very location of the 'answer' Ricardo Irwin had mentioned. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Let's go there first. Maybe we can find something that can persuade the [Subspace Group] or give us leverage to make a deal!"
……
【Subspace Group】.
Outside the chairman's office, Rebecca, who had been waiting in the corridor for more than fifty minutes, had anxiety and unease written all over her youthful face, which was full of collagen. Her bright eyes kept glancing at the office door guarded by two [First Generation Thunder Warriors].
The blonde secretary standing beside her glanced at her watch and offered a resentful consolation:
“Dr. Rebecca, please be patient. Judging from the time, the routine meeting between Boss and Miss Selena is almost over. Please wait for just five more minutes…”
"Oh."
Rebecca nodded obediently, completely unaware that the "routine meeting" the secretary mentioned was actually a form of communication that knew both the depth and the length of the conversation.
5 minute later.
The office door slowly opened from the inside, and a slender figure stepped out.
Selena's stunningly fair face was flushed with a beautiful blush, like the afterglow of a sunset. She gently shook her wet hair, raised her hand to wipe away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead from the intense exercise, nodded slightly to Rebecca who was waiting at the door, and then the proud vampire queen regained her usual aloofness, striding away with her long legs, looking utterly satisfied.
I'm full, really full. This will last me at least a week... no, five days, five days at most!
Having never experienced anything like this before, Rebecca watched the vampire queen's beautiful figure disappear into the distance, her nose unconsciously catching the lingering scent of hormones in the air, her mind filled with questions.
"No, Miss Selena, was the meeting really that intense?"
Rebecca whispered to her blonde secretary standing beside her, "Why do I feel like we've just finished a tough battle?"
Innocent!
The blonde secretary rolled her eyes, making no attempt to hide her envy; after all, it's impossible to conceal envy...
"Dr. Rebecca, you need to understand one thing."
The blonde secretary lowered her voice and said, "Not every woman is as lucky as Miss Selena to have the opportunity to have a meeting like this with the Boss..."
Selena, Selena, every time you come back you squeeze the Boss for an hour, leaving no chance for anyone else!
What you're doing is simply...so selfish.
The Boss belongs to everyone!!
You eat meat every day, at least let your younger sister have some soup too!
But seriously, when will this kind of good thing happen to me?!
╥﹏╥.
Boss, please! I've already prepared everything, and I want to be your personal cream puff too!
Please fill the jar!
However, as Karl's secretary, she knew what should and shouldn't be said, so naturally she wouldn't reveal her thoughts to Rebecca.
Just then, Carl's magnetic voice came from inside the office, "Let Dr. Rebecca in."
