Sorry, you scumbag woman, you can do whatever you want.

You can't exactly tell your sister that you were sexually harassed by your beautiful boss, or... well, you could interpret it as being kept as a sugar daddy.

After all, Mebius paid her a lot of money and treated her as well as he could.

In any case, ordinary cadres certainly wouldn't receive this kind of treatment.

"Doctor, we almost got exposed." Sakura put her phone on the bedside table and looked at Mebius, who was sitting on a duck-like seat, casually fixing his hair, as if the prank just now wasn't her doing.

“No, it hasn’t been exposed yet.” Möbius tilted his head, pointing his index finger at his red lips. “Besides, Sakura’s body is also very honest; she feels comfortable, doesn’t she?”

“Doctor!” Sakura’s voice rose slightly, while Mebius sighed helplessly and continued to tidy his disheveled hair.

"Okay, I won't do anything to you when you're on the phone next time." She drew out her voice as if she was dissatisfied, then shifted her body away from Sakura and handed her a comb. "Sakura, help me fix my hair."

Without refusing, Sakura obediently took the comb and helped Mebius comb his hair, while asking the question that had been bothering her for a while.

"Doctor, why are you... interested in me? I'm just an assassin with countless lives on my hands."

She sees herself as an assassin, someone with a lot of lives on her hands, a very dangerous existence. Anyone who knows her even slightly should stay far away from her, but Mebius is very interested in her.

From a normal person's perspective, compared to a dangerous and deadly female assassin like her, finding a safer and more beautiful female celebrity would be a much safer choice.

At least, given Mebius's power, he could choose any kind of female star he wanted and whatever style of beauty he desired.

They can all be found easily.

“Sakura, your physique is lacking.” Mebius listed Sakura’s advantages: “An exotic female assassin who has mastered unparalleled swordsmanship. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also ruthless to outsiders and gentle and virtuous to her family. She is attractive from head to toe.”

"...Is that so?" Sakura began to waver. She didn't quite understand why, in her dangerous place, she was seen as charming by Möbius. Being a foreigner represented a lack of understanding, possessing superb swordsmanship represented danger, and being cold and ruthless towards outsiders represented unapproachability.

As for her appearance, it often attracts people who don't know her.

“If you don’t believe me, go ask someone else,” Möbius chuckled. “They’ll tell you the answer.”

“I understand.” Sakura nodded slightly and continued to comb Mebius’s hair, starting to think about who would be the most appropriate person to ask.

Then, her sister Rin appeared in her mind.

……

……

after a while.

In the staff lounge area.

"A cold and beautiful foreign assassin, seemingly cold on the outside but warm on the inside." A pink-haired girl sat on a bench in the aisle, her slender hand gently supporting her chin. "That's certainly a very attractive setting."

"Is that so?" Sakura nodded slightly and asked her younger sister, "Rin, do you think anyone would fall in love with someone like that?"

“It’s not a question of whether or not they can do it; there’s no such person in reality.” Ling rolled her eyes lightly and said somewhat irritably, “Sister, you don’t think there are any stunningly beautiful women in reality who could make a living off their looks but choose to become assassins, do you?”

cherry:"……"

What a coincidence! There really is such a person, and right now sitting next to you is your sister herself.

“If there really were people like that, the kind you only see in comics and movies,” Rin thought for a moment, “then probably… I wouldn’t dare to get close to them, unless they’re fearless and have your weaknesses covered.”

"..." Sakura fell silent again, meeting her sister's innocent and lively eyes, and slowly asked, "What if the other party is really not afraid of death and has also mastered the female assassin's weakness?"

“If that’s the case,” Ling thought seriously for a moment and analyzed it for her sister very carefully, “If there were such people in reality, very few people would be able to resist doing strange things.”

"What's wrong?" Sakura asked instinctively, but saw Rin turn her head away, her cute little face slightly flushed.

"I don't really understand those things either, sister, so please don't ask me. If you really want to know... just look it up online."

"Okay, I'll take Rin... to explore the World Serpent." Sakura nodded slightly, stood up, and led the way, showing her younger sister around the interior of the World Serpent.

It must be said that the World Snake Building is very large and is the most iconic building in the city. It has many zones, which are enough to meet people's needs for social interaction, living, working, medical care and so on.

In theory, it doesn't matter if they never leave each other for life.

Therefore, it takes quite a while to browse around.

"Sister, have you fallen in love lately?" Rin looked up at her sister beside her, her gaze then falling on the katana at her sister's waist. She felt that her sister's question just now was... her sister and her lover playing some kind of elaborate role-playing game.

For example, coercing a cold and beautiful female assassin, coercing a beautiful foreign girl assassin, coercing a ruthless female assassin, etc.

"No, Rin... don't ask anymore." Sakura raised her hand and tapped her sister's head. "Right now, I'm focused on work."

"Oh." Ling scratched her head, obediently not pressing for more information, planning to try again later.

It was that guy who slept with her sister.

……

at the same time.

In the Lord's office.

"Doctor, how is the progress of your Honkai Energy Adaptor?" May asked Mebius in a calm voice. "The public's demand for the Honkai Energy Adaptor is growing louder. We need to inform people of the progress to quell the panic in society."

“…” Mebius did not answer immediately. Her voluptuous body leaned back in the chair, and she turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.

Outside the World Serpent, many people held banners and signs urging the World Serpent... no, it was her, to produce her research results as soon as possible.

Previously, people did not have a clear understanding of Honkai energy, nor did they clearly define what Honkai disease was. However, since her speech to the world and the release of information about Honkai, things have changed.

People have already become aware of the existence of Honkai disease, and the calls for treatment for Honkai disease have naturally grown louder.

This has led to an increasing expectation that she will produce research results.

“May, go find Klein.” She whispered to May beside her, “She will bring out a newly developed drug to treat Honkai disease. Although it cannot cure the disease, it can delay the time of death.”

“Doctor, there’s one more thing.” Mei nodded slightly and brought up the next topic, “There are currently rumors circulating about you in parts of Earth. People believe that you… are the one who orchestrated the Honkai crisis.”

"Do you think I can do it?" Mebius asked in return, but Mebius shook his head.

"The Honkai should not have been caused by you, Doctor, but some people suspect that you used the Honkai to achieve your own selfish desires."

"Does this group include you?" Mebius asked with a light laugh, and Mebius did not deny it.

"Yes, I also suspect that you use the Honkai to achieve your own selfish desires, such as building spaceships to allow the high-ranking officials to collectively escape from Earth, destroying the trust of the lower-ranking people in the higher-ranking officials, and then appearing as a savior to save all the crises and gain people's worship and trust."

"Hmm, a very conspiracy theory-like speculation." Möbius chuckled, not panicked, but rather happy.

Choosing Mei to help her was definitely the right thing to do.

“In fact, you did take advantage of people’s trust and adoration to become the chairperson of the Moth of Flames.” May’s voice was calm. “Given the distrust of the ‘higher-ups’ and the crisis of collapse, the scope of your power has expanded to an unreasonable degree.”

“Mei, you are indeed very clever.” Möbius readily admitted, “That’s right, although it was somewhat different from my initial plan, that’s exactly what I did in the end.”

"Has the crisis of collapse reached this point?" Mei pondered, her brows furrowed. She felt no anger toward Möbius, nor did she intend to expose Möbius's conspiracy or reveal the so-called truth to the world.

On the contrary, her first reaction was that the danger revealed by the collapse made Mebius willing to spend so much effort to seize power that could influence the whole world.

Otherwise, given Möbius's proud personality, he would be too lazy to engage in political struggles as long as it didn't affect his research.

Unless it reaches a point where intervention is absolutely necessary.

“Mei, I need your help.” Mebius nodded, stood up, and went to the window. “To unite the will of all humanity and defeat the Honkai.”

“I’m just an ordinary researcher.” Mei sighed. Since joining the Firemoth, she has spent more time dealing with complex and tedious political struggles than conducting research.

Despite adapting quickly, he rapidly transformed into a politician capable of winning people's hearts and minds and managing those driven by impulse.

However, he has little interest in politics.

“Then let’s consider that a little bit.” Möbius turned around and came to Mei. “In this world, there are many people I can trust, but only you have the ability to help me completely unify the will of humanity.”

It's no exaggeration to say that while she has many trustworthy people under her command, none of them are capable of facing global political struggles, let alone coordinating global resources. Only "Mei" has that ability.

Even Klein couldn't do that; managing the World Serpent was already pretty much the limit.

That's why she needed Mei's help.

"I regret accepting your invitation," May sighed, but still accepted Möbius's request.

The world needs a bridge. People need to understand Möbius's ideas, and Möbius also needs to understand people. A bridge needs to be built between them to reduce unnecessary misunderstandings and friction.

As one of the few who understood Möbius, she had to step forward, at least she was able to study Möbius's complex creations.

Explain it to people in a way that is easy to understand.

Moreover, Mebius needed enough time to conduct research and didn't have much time to engage in politics, so he could only find a trustworthy and capable person to help him.

She thought and thought... and it seemed to be herself.

"Mei, it's just a tough time for a while." Mebius reached out and patted Mei's shoulder, skillfully making a promise. "Once we defeat the Honkai, I will fully support you so you can research whatever you want to research."

“I’ve learned something recently,” Mei said irritably. “That is, to make empty promises to people so that they are more enthusiastic about doing things.”

Mebius: "..."

It must be said that May has an innate political acumen; she can immediately detect any unintentional promises she makes.

Despite having only been using it for a short time, it is already extremely proficient.

He is worthy of being the one she chose.
