Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!

Chapter 22 Emily's Transformation

With Ada's orders given, the United Front base sprang into action.

The agents of the United Front are also very reliable and efficient.

The withdrawal from the outpost and the handling of classified documents were all carried out in an orderly manner.

It must be said that Manchester truly deserves its reputation as a key stronghold of the United Front in the Kingdom of England. They have cultivated deep roots in the Lower City for many years, accumulating a formidable presence with well-developed personnel, resources, and intelligence networks.

This is one of the reasons why Ada so decisively ordered the evacuation.

If so many years of hard work were inexplicably swallowed up by the gates of hell, even for a powerful and influential united front that has spread throughout Europe, it would be like having a vital tentacle severed, resulting in incalculable losses.

They operated this base for a full ten years.

Through ten years of planning, they not only secretly established a research base for the meta-Christian matrix in the upper city, but also recruited many high-ranking municipal officials and impoverished nobles as their secret allies. In the lower city, they wielded absolute power. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the United Front was half the master of Manchester.

Sometimes, the mayor's orders may not be effective in the lower city, but the orders of the United Front can be answered by everyone.

Because they had poured so much effort into this place and treated it as their second home, they absolutely could not stand by and watch it be destroyed by cultists.

The destruction of one's home is something no one can accept.

Hextech, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed. Watching everyone busy at work, he walked straight to the food area, picked up a plate of fried chicken and fries, and began to eat slowly.

He had already thought this through and knew he had to accept the task.

Currently, it seems that completing this task is not that difficult, because the gates of hell have not yet been opened.

At most, some cultists guard the altar, but he was able to leverage the power of the united front.

This battle is going to be fought!

Besides, there's no penalty for failing the mission; at worst, you can just run away if things get bad.

There is still plenty of time.

Grace and Emily, who were standing nearby, had long been attracted by the aroma of the food and began to wolf it down, as if they hadn't had a full meal or tasted such delicious food in a long time.

"This fried chicken is alright, do you two like it that much?" Hex asked casually, biting into a fries.

"It's so delicious!" Grace's mouth was bulging and her cheeks were round, like a greedy little squirrel, her eyes full of satisfaction.

"I haven't eaten anything this delicious in a really, really long time."

"In the downtown area, just being able to fill your stomach is a luxury, let alone eating fried chicken."

"A fried chicken costs three pence," Grace remarked.

"Sister, take your time eating." Emily stopped what she was doing and gently patted Grace's back, comforting her like a sensible older sister.

"Our lives will definitely get better and better in the future."

"We'll never have to go hungry again."

"Can we escape?" Grace stopped what she was doing, a hint of unease flashing in her eyes as she looked at Hex, her gaze filled with anxiety.

"Don't worry." Hex swallowed the fries in his mouth.

"If we cannot stop the gates of hell, the United Front will prioritize sending you out."

He knew in his heart that getting on the united front at this moment might not be a bad thing for the two sisters.

Emily is currently the only second-generation perfect fitter of the Meta-Christ matrix, and she has also awakened a highly practical mind control superpower. She is of vital value to the research of the United Front, and as long as she is still of use, their safety is basically guaranteed.

With Emily's abilities, she could even become a saintess in a cult like the Adventists, let alone in the United Front. If she wanted to, she could certainly secure a high position.

As long as she still acknowledges being his teammate, Hextech will actually take care of the weak.

"Mr. Horus," Grace put down the food in her hand, her eyes filled with worry and unease, and asked cautiously.

"If the Adventists really open the gates of hell, what will happen to the people here?"

"How are things going for everyone in Manchester?"

Looking into Grace's clear yet compassionate eyes, like those of a pitiful little rabbit, Hex leaned closer, his tone calm yet cruel: "Of course, they'll all die."

"Familiar people, strangers."

"Those you hate, those you love..."

"Everyone will die along with this city, leaving no trace."

Grace's face turned deathly pale, and she murmured to herself, "Everyone's going to die?"

"W-Can that stop them?"

"We...we must stop cult members, right?"

Hex looked at her and couldn't help but chuckle: "Miss Grace, you were almost raped and murdered by those three gangsters not long ago, and you still have the mind to care about other people?"

"But many people are innocent." Grace lowered her head, her voice weak but firm.

"They live a hard life, oppressed by gangs in this dirty and dilapidated downtown area."

"Exploited by powerful figures, ignored by priests, struggling to survive."

"It's too cruel to be deprived of even the last right to live."

Hex glanced at her, then at Emily, who seemed obedient but was actually quite cunning, and thought to himself, "It's strange that these two sisters with such contrasting personalities have managed to survive together until now, with one being a saintly older sister as innocent as a white lotus and the other a seemingly weak but actually scheming younger sister."

Emily noticed Hex's malicious gaze and quickly spoke up, trying to reassure her sister, "Sister, don't worry."

"With such a strong united front, there must be a way to stop the cultists."

"Everyone will be alright."

Hex glanced at Emily: "You've accepted the united front?"

"Do you want to join them?"

"Now, we can only rely on the united front, can't we?" Emily said meaningfully.

"We'll decide about the future when it comes."

Oh, so you're planning to play along and then run away later?

Hextech thought so too.

In the original storyline, she was kidnapped by the United Front and used for experiments, which led to her harboring deep resentment towards the United Front.

The crucial point is that her kidnapping led to the tragic death of her sister Grace, leaving her without her only family member and shattering all hope.

After the first chapter, she joined a cult and harbored a deep hatred for the United Front, relentlessly hunting down its members to pay for their crimes. In any case, this little brat interfered several times, causing the main characters a lot of trouble.

But now, her sister Grace has been rescued by Hextech, and Sir Frankenstein, who kidnapped her and experimented on her, has been killed by Hextech.

Right now, she has to rely on the strength of the united front. Her resentment isn't that great, and she hasn't completely turned evil, so she can temporarily endure and cooperate.

"Miss Grace, please rest assured."

Ida's signature, charming, magnetic voice rang out.

"We will do our best to resolve this cult crisis and shut down the gates of hell."

"We will never allow Manchester to become a second Liverpool."

Ada walked slowly to Hex's side, sat down directly next to him, and her scent, like that of black roses, once again lingered around Hex's nose.

Looking at Ada's perfectly smiling expression, Hextech couldn't help but say.

"Miss Ida, you smell so good."

Ada's face stiffened.

Why is it that every time this man says something, it's so strange?
