Crossover: Is this how it's sewn?

Chapter 25, Section 023: Relics of Ancient Civilizations

Isaacs held up his wine glass, sipping imported wine with great pleasure, while Xu Zhenqing and Alicia were nothing more than worthless objects in his eyes.

Many people see the situation as a stalemate, with the Umbrella Corporation's own scandals remaining undisclosed, Isaacs possessing evidence of Umbrella's human experiments, and Xu Zhenqing potentially using government intervention to suppress the unrest.

Isaacs, who was also wary of Xu Zhenqing's willingness to perish together, wouldn't be too violent. He was only thinking about slowly boiling the frog in water, since with the robot around, if he died, Alicia and the others wouldn't survive either.

Even with his access to alien technology, Isaacs couldn't possibly have his power in Umbrella dismantled because of Xu Zhenqing.

Selling the assets would make starting another Umbrella incredibly easy.

While Xu Zhenqing was pacifying the interior, Isaacs was clearly colluding with foreign enemies.

Alicia sobbed softly. Xu Zhenqing, who was processing documents beside her, patted her head, stroked her pretty face, and wiped away her tears with his thumb.

"Don't worry, Alicia, Isaacs will be dead in a month, at most a month."

"Heh, heh, Zhenqing, I believe you."

Upon hearing Xu Zhenqing's promise, Alicia embraced her lover tightly, as if they had become one, and the two stayed close together for a long time.

Feeling that soft touch, Xu Zhenqing placed his hand on Alicia's waist.

Tongues meet, lips part.

Xu Zhenqing is not a proponent of the idea that girls must be over 18, but he, Xu, is not so despicable as to take advantage of a girl who has just lost her father.

……

Carter, who had been waiting for Isaacs to get into trouble, was very disappointed. He wondered if he had misunderstood Xu Zhenqing and that he hadn't done what happened to Nico.

……

When Angers heard about the young man he favored, he made no comment. In his eyes, Nick's death was a coincidence, and even the Little Devil thought so.

……

Blake and Jackie Chan discussed this matter. Jackie Chan believed that Xu Zhenqing and Nick's deaths were unrelated. Blake also investigated and found that there was indeed no direct evidence to prove it.

……

In the great Eastern power across the ocean, Nie Ting took a sip of tea and said to Shi Xuejin, "That young man in America a few days ago seems to be in trouble. Our agents can provide appropriate assistance."

"I don't think so. Your Xinting sword also comes from a relic, but it leans towards mysticism or cultivation civilization, while that robot is different," Shi Xuejin said, holding his teacup and squinting his eyes.

"If he returns to China, a tight net will surely protect him."

Dressed in a black robe, Nie Ting put on the hood of his cloak and stepped out of the house. Outside, the sky was filled with stars.

……

To get rid of Isaacs, we must destroy the methods he is so proud of. Xu Zhenqing has drawn personnel from Asia, people that neither he nor Alicia know, and Isaacs is even less likely to know.

This group, a mix of Asians, Americans, and Europeans, is far removed from the company's core power struggles, making them perfect for stabilizing the situation.

Xu Zhenqing freed up his hands to meet with Isaacs, which undoubtedly left the latter unsure how to react, because in his view, after Marcus's death, Xu Zhenqing should try his best to avoid meeting him to prevent a potential death crisis.

Isaacs and his robot awaited Xu Zhenqing's arrival at the Hive.

Xu Zhenqing's private plane landed, creating a gust of air, and then Xu Zhenqing flew out.

With the robot by his side, Isaacs spoke confidently to Xu Zhenqing in a senior's tone: "I didn't expect you to be so fearless. Being young and impetuous is not a good thing."

"I must heed Senior Isaac's teachings. Getting handsy is indeed gentlemanly," Xu Zhenqing said meaningfully.

Isaacs's cold gaze swept across Xu Zhenqing's face. He paced back and forth for a while, then waved to the robot, signaling to eliminate Xu Zhenqing.

"Strength assessment: Mental Master, Apprentice Level 7."

"Risk level analysis: Intermediate."

After the robot scanned the area, the plane dropped an electromagnetic interference missile, but due to either technical or material limitations, it was largely ineffective, only disrupting the Red Queen's control over that part after Isaacs's reboot.

This was exactly what Xu Zhenqing had expected; ultimately, it all came down to who had the stronger fist.

Xu Zhenqing's specially made throwing knife was aimed at Isaacs. As expected, the robot blocked the attack for Isaacs.

After that, whenever he was at a disadvantage, Xu Zhenqing would use Isaacs as a strategic point to turn the tide.

In open areas, the robot's shortcomings became apparent. It wasn't that it couldn't fly, but that it lost its leverage after taking flight and its flight posture was interfered with by mental energy. Xu Zhenqing was like a nimble swift, dodging the attack of a hawk.

The latest novel is first published here!

This tactic is commonly known as kite flying.

I tried to focus all my mental energy on a throwing knife and stab the robot, but unfortunately, the materials were too different, and the knife broke apart without even leaving a scratch.

Xu Zhenqing abandoned the idea of ​​harming the enemy, and his mental energy surged out like a tide. He changed the combat strategy of mental masters who focused on unifying their mental energy, and chose to divide his mental energy as much as possible, abandoning precise control and adopting a rough and unrestrained approach.

The irregular tidal wave of psychic energy disrupted the robot's flight posture. Often, even the slightest deviation resulted in the robot becoming a mere outline of a human body when it reached Xu Zhenqing.

The battle seemed to have reached a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

But upon closer examination, is Xu Zhenqing's physical strength sufficient compared to a machine that never tires?

No, that's not enough. This is inevitable for low-level carbon-based life forms, and Isaacs thought so too.

However, the reality was quite the opposite. Xu Zhenqing remained calm and composed, while Isaacs was like an ant on a hot pan.

Because Xu Zhenqing is demonstrating that even if I kill you, the robot can't do anything to me. Your death will be in vain. Go find a more powerful robot.

Xu Zhenqing's patience ran out. Fighting the robot was no longer a form of training, so he simply used his telekinesis to grab Isaacs by the neck and coldly asked, "How do you want to die?"

"No, you can't do this. You have family, no, your fiancée. Think of Alicia, think of Alicia. I can give up all my assets to spare my life."

Each time the robot took a step closer, the mental force intensified. Isaacs, still possessing reason, made the robot retreat and knelt on the ground, begging Xu Zhenqing for mercy.

Xu Zhenqing, with Isaacs' help, completed the transfer of control of the Red Queen. Isaacs refused to give up the robot's controller, thinking that this would save his life and exploit Xu Zhenqing's weakness.

What makes the other party think that they can swagger around and act superior just because they have something that isn't invincible?

Seeing Isaacs sign the asset transfer document with a resentful look on his face, Xu Zhenqing slapped him hard. How dare he give him such a hard look? Doesn't he care about his status?

As for threatening him with Umbrella's dirt and other means, Xu Zhenqing was standing right next to him. If he could even open his mouth and utter a single word, he would win.

Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival; arrogance is. The moment Isaacs became arrogant, he was already defeated.
