I am a hero of the former civilization.

Ryan frowned. Just then, the ringtone interrupted his appreciation of the art. How annoying! He took it out again to take a look.

Mebius?

Ryan quickly looked around to make sure the woman wasn't hiding anywhere before answering the call.

"looking for me?"

"I can't call you unless there's something wrong. By the way, when are you coming back?" Möbius put his legs on the table, his long, slender fingers caressing the delicate stockings.

"You don't miss me, do you?"

"Heh, you toad's up to no good again, aren't you? Kevin's data is interesting, and the results for the Divine Key are coming soon. You're wasting your time in Britain; you'd be better off coming back to work." Möbius smirked, then, realizing he might have said something inappropriate, added:

"Of course, whether you come back or not is your choice. I don't mean to urge you, but you'd better think it over carefully."

Ryan had no time to consider whether Möbius was being stubborn or not, and asked somewhat strangely, "Why are you suddenly concerned about me today?"

"Who cares about you? It's just that some fat woman posted something on her WeChat Moments, dressed up in a flamboyant way, and her location was set to Britain, so they wondered if it had anything to do with you," Möbius asked coldly, his tone very unpleasant.

That Alicia, really is something...

Ryan looked up. No wonder he hadn't come over for several minutes. Alicia was hugging Sakura's neck, their chests pressed together and their faces close together, taking a selfie.

He hesitated for a moment before telling the truth: "There's an Eden concert today, and Alicia invited me and Sakura to go with her."

thump.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, the coffee cup just fell on the floor." Möbius glanced at the broken cup, intending to be sarcastic, but his resentment prevented him from speaking.

Ryan hadn't lied, which relieved her, but for some reason, this honesty only made her angrier.

"Hehehe, you seem to be having a good time in Britain, with two women swarming around you. Are you planning to take advantage of this and win over Alicia?"

"You're crazy. I was just bored in the hospital. Ellie invited me, so I came. If you were in Britain, I would have invited you to come too."

"Really?" Mebius sat up straight immediately, his previously gloomy face showing a hint of surprise.

"Fake. You've never been interested in entertainment or art, so I'm not going to bother with your enthusiasm." Ryan sneered, and seeing that there was no response from the other end, he said, "I'll hang up if there's nothing else. I should head to the venue."

beep.

The phone went dead. Mebius paused for a moment, then put down his phone in frustration and hugged his legs.

"Who said I'm not interested...?"

She glanced at the side with some resentment. Klein was smirking. Noticing her gaze, he immediately sat up straight and began typing on the keyboard with a blank expression.

"Klein, do you still have any medication for treating mental disorders?"

"Yes, it's in your left drawer."

Mebius took out a medicine bottle, popped two pills into his mouth, and put on his high heels: "I'll leave the video conference to you, Mebius. I'm going to the lounge to appreciate some art. Don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary."

She walked straight away, and when Klein turned around, he only saw the automatic door closing, and he could only let his raised hand fall limply.

Doctor, the stuff on your computer isn't art...

At the same time, Ryan put his phone back in his pocket, somewhat puzzled by Mebius's silence.

This woman is really stubborn, but I can't let my guard down. If I'm even a little gentle, she'll take advantage of me.

Coming to his senses, Ryan instinctively leaned back because Alicia's face suddenly loomed close to his, almost hitting his nose.

She leaned forward, hands behind her back, and smiled charmingly: "Let me guess, is it a call from Möbius?"

"It was you who was behind this all along!"

Alicia pulled out her phone and waved it: "No, can't I post something happy on my Moments? Do you want me to block Mebius? She's so pitiful."

Ryan had excellent eyesight and immediately saw the messages above. There were messages from Mei, Kevin, and Hua. Last time in Hawaii, Alicia added everyone's WeChat.

Most of the comments were full of praise, and of course, Mei urged her to go back quickly.

"Alright, alright, you'll always find a reason. Don't post random things later." What could Ryan say? He saw Alicia giggle and spin around in place.

Her skirt fluttered like butterfly wings, revealing her smooth back, which was so perfect that it seemed a shame she didn't get cupping therapy.

"Does it look good?"

"Ahem, your fashion sense is good, but it's too flashy." To prevent Alicia from being too arrogant, Ryan had to add a flaw.

“Beautiful things should be shown to everyone, come and look at Sakura.” She said, pulling Sakura over again, as if showing off a beloved toy. “What do you think? Isn’t Sakura beautiful too?”

Sakura wasn't Hua, so she wasn't coy, but her expression was somewhat troubled.

"Did she force you?"

"No, it's just that I'm not used to it." The girl tugged at her skirt and whispered, "It feels chilly, making it inconvenient to move around, and Ellie won't let me bring a knife."

That's a really practical reason.

Ryan was both amused and exasperated, thinking to himself that all beautiful girls have absolute territory, like how he had killed two Herrschers, but neither of them, who were wearing dresses, had their private parts exposed.

Oops, maybe she was exposed, but the fight was too intense for me to notice?

Ryan fell into deep thought, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He smiled and said, "It suits you very well, Sakura. Relax, it's just a concert, it won't..."

Before he could finish speaking, a small hand covered his mouth, and Ryan felt his nostrils filled with a delicate fragrance.

"Don't make promises you can't keep! Saying things like that never means anything good. I've been looking forward to this for so long, there absolutely can't be any accidents!" Alicia emphasized seriously, and only let go when she saw the man nod repeatedly.

Ryan, panting heavily with his hands on his knees, glanced at Sakura, who had a surprised expression: "See? This is what it's like to be relaxed."

It was somewhat like trying to save face, but Ying knew that this man would never be ambushed by Alicia under normal circumstances, so he would instinctively hurt her.

"Could this be a good thing?"

"At least it's not a bad thing. Do you think there's any danger? Who's going to jump out and assassinate us?" Ryan spread his hands. The three strongest monsters of the Fire Moth are here. Who would dare to jump out and seek death?

Sakura thought for a moment, then completely relaxed her muscles and grasped Ryan's outstretched hand. Alicia shouted "cunning!" and grasped Ryan's other hand.

And so, with the two stunningly beautiful girls sandwiching him in the middle, the resentment and hostility of the surrounding men completely erupted.

"Let's go in."

Ryan thought to himself that the two people had misunderstood the meaning of his shrug, but he did not let go. He simply smiled reservedly and walked towards the venue under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Misunderstandings or resentment, I, Ryan—

They are qualified.

Chapter 152 This Eden Has Something...

Regardless of his purpose, Ryan held Sakura and Alicia's hands with nothing but composure and confidence.

He was not an arrogant transmigrator who became some kind of savior through the system. He had been here for more than 20 years and was not much different from the natives. After leaving Qianyu Academy, the path he took was impeccable.

He killed Herrschers, fought against Honkai, and directly saved tens of millions of lives. Aside from his achievements, he genuinely cared for Alicia and the others, fulfilling his duties as a friend and respecting their dignity.

Strength, achievements, respect—why should he care about other people's opinions?

"You seem rather dignified. Are you that happy?" Alicia sensed something was off. Ryan wasn't being coy or having any ulterior motives; his face was full of a sense of accomplishment, leaving Alicia completely puzzled.

If she could, she would also like to see Ryan's shy expression, but his appearance as he went on stage to accept the award was quite amusing.

"Of course I'm happy. You can't just shake anyone's hand. It just means that you have to do some things quietly to earn the right to do them." Ryan said with a faint smile. He never had any intention of deliberately getting close to you or trying to win you over.

Thinking this way shows a lack of respect for the cruel apocalypse and treats heroes like Alicia as mere playthings.

"I don't understand, but what you think is different from what I'm thinking."

"Perhaps. It just means that even fantasizing needs to be supported by real strength. At least you have to be on the same path." Ryan shrugged. The saying goes, "Beauty is paired with hero." Before fantasizing about beauties, you should first figure out how to become a hero.

More and more people were on the road, and even the traffic began to get congested, filling the roads to capacity. Under the watchful eyes of the three, they walked to the venue, which was the largest football stadium in Britain, capable of holding 80,000 people.

The once-hot league had long been suspended, so it was chosen as the venue. Huge posters were hung on the oval-shaped outer wall, and several large screens were broadcasting live inside the stadium, allowing people who did not buy tickets to watch the live broadcast.

"It's so lively." Sakura looked around and saw nothing but heads.

There aren't even any scalpers here. It seems everyone cherishes the opportunity. In this chaotic world, who knows if there will ever be another chance to hear Miss Eden sing?

Some people, shirtless, would say things like they wanted to marry Miss Eden and die together, and then they would be arrested by the police very quickly, acting like fanatical believers.

"She's quite popular, don't rush to explain, I've done my homework." Ryan covered Alicia's mouth, having already looked up information last night.

Eden has risen to the level of an artist, belonging to the top tier of this world, and his style is suitable for all ages and tastes, transcending the ranks of celebrities and becoming almost a star.

If it hadn't been for the Honkai, she would have been a significant figure in human civilization.

"It seems the encyclopedia wasn't exaggerating; the popularity is indeed exaggerated. No wonder they dared to refuse several invitations from Moth Chaser."

“Eden is very talented and also very rich. He donated five billion euros to raise food for refugees,” Alicia said excitedly, as if she were preaching.

"How much did you say?" Ryan was also somewhat surprised. Sure enough, Eden's wealth was not just for show. "Then Mebius should like her very much, and so should Velvi."

"Everyone loves Eden. Come on, let's go this way."

The tickets allocated to Moth Chaser were VIP seats, which naturally had a private passage. The three of them arrived at the other side of the stadium, where there were far fewer people, and most of them were well-dressed.

While getting his ticket checked, Ryan looked around and actually spotted someone he knew.

"Captain Heinrich, you've come too?"

He saw Captain Raven, whom he had met once before; the latter was wearing a crisp military uniform and holding the hand of an old lady.

"Dr. Ryan, do I not look like it?" The stern old man gave a nod, then casually glanced at Sakura and Alicia, revealing a smile that any man would understand.

“You’re not the type to be a rigid soldier.” Ryan didn’t bother to hide it; the old man’s unsmiling demeanor made him seem nothing like someone who was there to attend a concert.

“Soldiers are human too. Even powerful warriors like you came. Because as long as you’re human, you can’t possibly hate Miss Eden.” The old man stroked his beard and said smugly, “That idiot son almost fought with me for my vote, but I still won.”

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you tell such an embarrassing story to others?" The old lady tapped his chest, and Heinrich immediately chuckled and led his wife inside.

Ryan also gave a good-natured smile; in such a critical moment, it wouldn't be so bad if some farces happened occasionally.

"Let's go in too."

"Doesn't that make you even more excited?"

"That's true to some extent, and I'm also very accomplished in music."

"Hmph, starting to brag again?"

The three entered the passage. Alicia naturally chattered away, explaining things, while Sakura became nervous because of the countless eyes staring at her ears, until Ryan's hand clenched slightly.
