I am a hero of the former civilization.

Ryan's lips twitched slightly, but he swallowed his analysis, even though speaking it aloud would completely shatter this 'quick-drying cement'.

But how to put it, Ryan respected Mebius's pride, and he liked that pride, because no matter how this woman changed, she could never become a submissive woman. If he pushed her too hard, he wouldn't be able to control her, and who knows what she might do.

Besides, this is also beneficial to my balance plan. I just told Vilvi yesterday that I want it all, so I can't go back on my word today. If I really force Mebius to have no choice but to cling to me tightly, I won't have any energy left. My bones will be completely drained.

Ryan felt that reason and desire were locked in a fierce battle when he heard a sharp growl in his ear.

"Hey, did you understand?!"

Mebius, panting heavily, turned his head away, as if he had realized that Ryan had seen through him, and was somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Uh, I understand."

"I don't have anything to say."

"Yes, no, there isn't any." Ryan nodded at first, then quickly shook his head.

"You're smart enough." Mebius bit her lip and snapped again, "If you understand, come over and look at the data. I've been preparing to perform surgery on you for a while now."

She turned her head decisively, the sound of her high heels ringing out, this time with extra force. Her panicked heartbeat gradually calmed down, though she would never admit it, but this was for the best.

I've expressed my feelings, so I have no regrets. I haven't directly hurt those idiots either, so in fact, I've already won.

Judging from his appearance just now, just as Himiko said, hehehe, Ryan's first and second time were both with me, Mebius!

That smug look crept onto his face again, and his grin became somewhat arrogant. As for what those idiots thought, what did it have to do with me? I had already gone easy on them to save face for everyone, okay?

Well, hurry up and thank Dr. Möbius!

Just then, she felt a hand brush past her thigh, moving upwards from behind her knee. She shuddered and jumped several meters away.

"W-what are you doing?"

"I was doing an experiment, uh, a nerve reflex experiment. It looks like a success." Ryan spread his hands, looking innocent, but he was secretly overjoyed.

Smug, huh? Stubborn, huh? You've won too much, haven't you? Get this straight, I won too. Anyone can do an experiment.

Seeing the grim expression on Möbius's face, the anger finally burst forth. He had been led by the nose for a while and had been holding back for some time, especially that "so sensitive, you're so cute" expression.

Your A-ranking move doesn't mean I've lost. Even if you leave no way out, we still have to keep you firmly under pressure.

Damn it, what a scoundrel with no manners!

Mebius gritted his teeth, suddenly realizing he had been too simplistic in his thinking. He had ignored all factors, and the final outcome would still be decided by the two of them. On the contrary, he felt somewhat timid by going up against A, and his excuses about experiments were useless.

In a battle between geniuses, whoever confesses loses. Did what I just did count as a confession? Now, any excuses I use seem too weak and ineffective. He's really hard to deal with. I used experiments to leave myself an escape route, and he used experiments to press me step by step.

There's no solution, what should we do?

Seeing Ryan's gentlemanly smile and the way he was gently rubbing his fingers, Möbius panicked. He reviewed the whole process and realized he had been a bit confused.

Not stubborn enough, nor direct enough, he was stuck in the middle like a half-baked person, completely seen through by this man.

Jingle Bell--

Just then, the bell rang, startling both of them.

"Who made the call?"

“Your wooden junior sister, huh, she has telepathy, huh?” Mebius waved his phone, immediately startling Ryan.

That bastard dared to...

He was too late; Mebius had already pressed the call button and could hear Hua's voice.

"Dr. Möbius, is my senior brother with you? He disappeared after we came out of the shower."

It's not just me; I just did *that* to him, and he didn't refuse. You should thank me for being so magnanimous.

Mebius forcibly suppressed her desire to show off, and then, with a sudden glint in her eye, she saw an opportunity to turn the tables. Of course, this time she was much more cautious.

I never beat him, humph, but—

"I have already defeated you!"

She hung up immediately after speaking, not giving the other party a chance to ask questions, while Ryan pounced on her, glaring at her through gritted teeth.

"You're starting a war!"

"War? Heh, I don't understand. Anyway, let's see if you dare to experiment on me again." Mebius continued to play with his hair, venting his anger and feeling much more relaxed. His snake eyes gradually narrowed.

"Ryan, who do you think would win between me and them, and between the two of us, who can dominate whom?"

.......

"Mebius, why has she suddenly gone mad?"

In the Golden Courtyard, Hua, who was in the living room, put down his phone, which made Ying, who was playing Ludo with her younger sister, turn her head.

"Didn't you ask Ryan if he went to her place?"

"Yeah, but she's acting so strangely, really. I don't know what she did to offend Möbius again." Hua sullenly punched the pillow twice, then hugged his knees.

"So what did she say?"

"She just said she beat us, it's so inexplicable. Sister Ying, are you alright?"

Hua was sulking, but when he saw Ying's pupils shrink slightly, as if something terrible had happened, he waved his hand in front of her eyes.

“I’m fine, but Ryan is definitely in trouble.”

"What? I'll go provide support right away, quickly sound the alarm." Hua immediately stood up, but then her hand was grabbed, and she saw Ying's somewhat helpless expression.

“I wasn’t talking about combat. Mebius is unlikely to be a threat to Ryan. Come closer, ring, don’t eavesdrop.”

The meticulous assassin began to analyze the situation, which initially puzzled the girl, then shocked her, and finally caused her clenched fist to tremble slightly.

"She...she...she actually dared to run away?!"

"It's just a possibility. Besides, if Dr. Möbius hadn't been so stubborn, he would have succeeded already. Maybe someone persuaded him." Sakura looked over and deftly extricated herself from the situation. "By the way, if that's really the case, what are you going to do?"

"Of course it's fighting! Get my senior brother back!" Hua didn't hesitate for a moment. She was a warrior, a martial artist. Was she going to run back to her room and cry?

But when he said this, he didn't notice the slight twitching in Sakura's eyes.

Hmm hmm hmm hmm?

Alicia walked by happily carrying a fruit basket, her nose twitching slightly as she looked towards the living room.

Why do I smell the scent of war?

Chapter 328 I'm a Model Worker!

Damn it, is this Mebius from the Kongtong Sect? If you can't beat me, you start by using the Seven Injury Fist to hurt yourself?

Ryan wandered aimlessly around the headquarters, going down to the ground floor and then taking the elevator back up, repeating this cycle until his head started to throb.

Mebius's sudden move to attack was completely unexpected, and her subsequent self-inflicted trouble was even more incomprehensible. It can only be said that she is indeed as dedicated as she is, with an extraordinary obsession with winning and losing.

I was going to let it go, but oh well, you're really going to settle things with me, aren't you? One day I'll settle the score with interest.

Ryan also held a grudge, but after thinking it over, he understood and appreciated Möbius.

Idiot, you're so stubborn, do you really think I'm scared?

And with you around, I'll be more compliant, and I'll feel less guilty if I want to take advantage of you in the future—no, I mean, less guilty about experiments.

Although it's a bit of a headache right now, it's essentially a assist because Ryan knows the heroes in the Golden Courtyard all too well.

Apart from Gretchen and Padfophis, they are all battle-hardened warriors, ruthless people who can smash a building with a single punch. How could they cry helplessly and sigh like a wronged woman?

But then again, I think I might be in some danger.

Ryan glanced at the rapidly changing numbers on the elevator screen and decisively decided not to go back to sleep tonight. Precisely because he was a warrior, he was not easily fooled. As a rational person, he absolutely could not walk into a trap now.

So he wandered around and finally reached the medical area. The door to the innermost intensive care unit slowly opened, and there he saw Kevin lying on the bed with tubes inserted all over his body, and sitting next to him was indeed Mei.

"Why are you here?" Mei asked, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Kevin while flipping through documents.

With the lingering aroma of coffee in his mouth, Ryan didn't feel like he was being fed dog food; instead, he was a little envious. But upon further reflection, he realized that his personality wasn't as submissive as Kevin's.

"I just suddenly remembered Kevin. He's a good friend of mine." Ryan chuckled dryly and went to the window. The white-haired youth was wearing an oxygen mask, just like Sleeping Beauty.

He was in much greater danger than Ryan this time; he was practically clinging to life and only survived until Mebius arrived thanks to Vinal's emergency treatment.

Hmm, could it be that Möbius was provoked by Kevin? After all, he was really snatched back from the jaws of death, so he probably saw Möbius's vulnerable side.

It's just that she didn't share such a happy thing with me; it's clear she's still afraid of Mei deep down.

"You didn't get into trouble with Mebius, did you?"

Just then, Mei suddenly said something that made Ryan turn around in shock.

"how do you know?"

“Klein just came to deliver the biological agents. I noticed her strange expression and forced her to reveal the information.” May propped her head up with her hand, her expression somewhat pleased. “Is this a bit difficult? As a friend, I can offer you some advice.”

Her expression clearly indicated that she knew something but deliberately kept quiet, all to help Mebius repay the favor of saving Kevin's life.

Ryan was incredibly clever and immediately understood what he meant. He muttered, "When did you become so gossipy? It's okay, I can handle this. I've seen it all."

"Can it really be solved?"

"To put it bluntly, it's just a side effect of fighting the Honkai. As long as I don't die, it will naturally be resolved."

"Alright, then I'll wait and see what happens." Mei didn't press the matter further and continued to look through the documents.

What do you mean by "watching a good show"? You guys are definitely fanning the flames.

Ryan didn't reply. Listening to the beeping of the monitor and looking at the sleeping Kevin, he gradually understood Möbius's feelings.

Kevin, despite having the protagonist's halo and being second only to himself in strength, was still crushed by the Seventh Herrscher, almost causing the Golden Garden to lose a resident.

Staying in the hospital room, the cruelty of war instantly overshadowed the comfort of daily life. A new chapter had begun. Based on the characteristics of Honkai, the descending Herrschers might not be very strong, but they would definitely become increasingly difficult to deal with.

The future remains uncertain, and Ryan is equally uncertain whether the Golden Courtyard will have fewer people and a few rooms available.

His heart raced, and he suddenly realized that helping Alicia achieve her dream wasn't necessarily a good thing. The deeper the bond between them, the more painful the parting would be.

In this world, parting is too easy; you might get a knife in your eye just by going out for a walk.

"Getting too close brings pain, but keeping your distance leaves regrets. The truth of the world is entanglement and pain."

"What did you say?" Ryan stiffly raised his head, looking at May who was still sitting elegantly.

"It's nothing, I'm just studying." The girl closed the book as if she knew nothing, her eyes shining brightly behind her glasses. "I don't know about the future, but at least the present is pleasant."
