I am the former civilized hero.

"Hmph, that guy must be short of Honkai energy. This information can definitely be sold for a good price. Then, I can add the money in the little notebook together and make him pay off his debts in his lifetime."

This took her a while, but she had found the reason:

The stronger you become, the more I gain.

Mebius stretched and suddenly saw Klein's stiff expression, so he glanced over casually.

It was an entertainment page, something Mebius had always despised, but in order to monitor Ryan, no, to let Klein have a break from work, he let her read the relevant news, of course only about Eden's concert.

Humph, that woman’s concert. I wonder if Ryan’s live footage was captured. He must be surrounded by the pink fat woman and the fox.

"How's it going, Klein? Any results?"

Her stockings kicked up on the ground, and she slid over in the chair. It was too late for Klein to close the webpage.

"Doctor, this is..."

Just as he was about to explain, Klein discovered that Mebius had been sitting in a daze on the chair, expressionless, with his mouth slightly open, like a weathered sculpture.

There is a photo in the center of the webpage. The picture is beautiful. A black-haired man is holding the hand of a beautiful girl. The producer is also considerate enough to add a diamond ring to Ryan's hand. The equally beautiful Eden is standing between the two of them, smiling elegantly, witnessing their happiness.

"Ah, he, what's going on?"

After a full ten seconds, Mebius finally responded, pointing at the photo with a trembling hand.

An instinct came over her, and she recalled that she was mentally unstable after the last operation and had made a fool of herself in front of the pink-haired fox. She felt that being too direct would be harmful.

If I fail, I can only kill him, but I can't beat him, so I just stare at the photo.

That invincible brain was overloaded by the huge amount of information, and at that moment, it completely lost the ability to think.

Chapter 157 Look at my tricks!

Yawn——

Ryan suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose and looked confused.

Did the river wind blow so hard that I caught a cold? Impossible. How powerful a wind would it take to make a person like me who holds two kinds of authority catch a cold?

He looked around. This restaurant had a nice environment and few people. It faced the river and he could see the high-rise buildings on the opposite bank.

A beautiful girl was singing Eden's song on the stage. It was the new song she had released during the day. It has now become popular all over the world and has been imitated by countless people.

For example, this girl should be a music major and has good singing skills, but she lacks something and cannot arouse soul resonance like Eden.

"It sounds so nice. I feel like it makes everyone quiet down." Alicia sat opposite, propping up her head. Her face was flushed from drinking beer.

"It's much worse than Eden, but it's still a credit." Ryan handed the waiter a fifty-euro tip, who immediately handed it to the counter. The beautifully dressed girl winked and asked the waiter to bring an address.

Ryan just smiled. He didn't have time to develop relationships beyond friendship. He was used to seeing people like Alicia and had no interest in ordinary people, but he didn't despise such behavior.

As a scientist, Ryan thought deeply and knew the reason why the Fire Moths tried their best to maintain world order. Girls like this could only survive under the protection of order. If the earth really became a national chicken-eating competition.

The best outcome for her is to sacrifice her body in exchange for survival, but that is too cruel. It would be better for her to pick up rich men in the bar.

As for how long it can last, it all depends on God's will. Anyway, those abandoned areas have become this kind of disordered world.

"This is also the reason why I tolerate the Fire Council. For these things, force alone can't accomplish anything. It's easy to destroy order, but it's hard to establish it." Ryan couldn't help but talk to himself.

"What are you talking about, Ryan?" Alicia was eating pizza and sipping cocktails happily.

"Something about sociology, Ellie. You seem to be quite happy with your life now?"

"I'm satisfied. If seeing light is not enough, there was a lot of darkness before the collapse. But I can see light and love. There are only two of us left in the world, and I'm very happy." The girl shook her head gently, enjoying life.

Ryan was stunned, then nodded seriously, indicating that he had learned something new.

Yes, it is really relaxing to be with Alicia. Although she has many strange ideas, she radiates warmth like the sun and dispels darkness.

Just like now, he didn't think about anything, nor did he talk about any plans. He just enjoyed the moment.

With her around, it's hard to go crazy. It feels like the Battle of Britain never happened. No wonder he and Eden get along so well.

Ryan was thinking when he heard the phone ringing. He saw Alicia pick it up and was stunned for a moment, her expression full of confusion.

"Eden?"

"No, it's Mebius. She sent a nonsensical text message." Alicia turned the phone over and the content was very short.

Thief.

There was only one word, and Ryan was confused. Just as he was wondering why Mebius was overworked and going crazy, his cell phone rang.

His heart tightened, and when he saw that the contact was Klein, he instinctively pressed the call button.

"Dr. Ryan, this is bad. Something's wrong with the doctor."

"What's the problem? Is it the super-mutant factor mutation, or is it some drug that is causing trouble again?" Ryan's muscles tensed and his eyes sharpened.

"Neither, she, she just saw a photo, and then..."

"K-le-in!"

Ryan suddenly heard Mebius' voice, then the phone was hung up and a busy tone sounded.

He and Alicia looked at each other, seeing each other's confusion and their completely nonsensical words.

"What happened to Mebius?"

"I don't know. Although she is always sarcastic, Klein doesn't talk nonsense."

Ryan lowered his head and thought for a while, connecting all the things together. His pupils suddenly contracted and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

Photo, that photo!

That's not right. Mebius couldn't have seen it. She has always looked down on entertainment. Could it be that the website I gave her for finding pirated movies has advertisements?

The probability is extremely low, but not impossible.

"What bad luck! Mebius saw the pictures we took."

Alicia was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what was happening. A strange smile appeared on her face and she slapped her forehead.

"Oh, I got into trouble. I'm sure Mebius is upset."

As long as you have the ability, it's good.

Ryan rolled his eyes at her, lowered his head and began to think of a solution, but as he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.

Mebius and I are partners, but it makes me feel like I was caught cheating and am busy explaining myself.

No, intellectually speaking, Mebius's value is extremely high and she cannot be messed with.Yes, everything is for the sake of human justice, far more than my personal honor and disgrace.

Alicia's eyes became a little strange. She was watching the show, wondering whether she should come forward to explain and not let her dear Mebius be sad. As a result, the man in front of her suddenly exuded a sacred aura.

"Ryan, do you want me to come out and explain? Although I like you very much, our relationship cannot affect Mebius. I am still waiting to see your sweet love drama."

It sounds so weird, like some harem permission thing.

Ryan couldn't keep up with the pace, so he stood up and supported the table: "I'm going to go out and call her, don't follow me!"

"Oh." Alicia, who had just stood up, pouted and sat back down. Then she saw Ryan walk out a few steps and come back quickly.

Snapped.

He put his hands on the table, his face surprisingly serious: "Also, there is no romance drama. The reason why I comforted her is based on the attitude of responsibility to all mankind. Personal honor and disgrace are not worth mentioning. I have lost this face."

After saying this, Ryan left quickly, and Alyssia finally knew where the sacred aura just now came from.

She pursed her lips, took a sip of beer comfortably, and squinted her eyes comfortably.

"Huh? You two are both stubborn."

Ryan didn't bother to care what she was thinking. He walked out of the restaurant quickly. The river breeze calmed him down a little. In just a few moments, he had come up with a solution.

There is no need to explain. Mebius is not a fool. He will definitely check the source of the information. He also knows that with Alicia's personality, she would never take it seriously.

She is not a stupid woman, nor would she deliberately lower her intelligence to stage any melodramatic scenes.

So what needs to be explained is not the photo, but to comfort Mebius's pride, without embarrassing himself, and to pave the way for the next step of revenge.

"It's so difficult, so why should I compete with her in wits and intelligence? We are on the same level, so it's hard to tell who will win, but this damn victory must be decided."

Ryan gritted his teeth and thought that he was going to bleed this time. Didn't Mobius care about him and Alicia having fun outside and leaving her in the laboratory? Look, I'll trick you back!

The man stood straight, exuding a warrior-like aura, and quickly took out his cell phone to dial a number.

After a brief busy tone, he heard a cold voice.

"I'm very busy, don't call me if you don't have anything else."

"I heard from Klein that you have some problems. Is it a sequelae of the fusion surgery?"

There was silence on the phone for a moment, and then a cold voice came.

"Yes, Shesha made me mentally unstable and I would lose my cool occasionally, but I am fine now and it has nothing to do with you."

The mouth is tough, but the body is honest enough to take the step and talk.

Ryan stroked the railing, as if he was controlling someone, and maintained a cold voice: "Do you want to know why I went to see Eden?"

“I don’t want to…” Mebius glanced at Klein, who was buried in the documents, and suddenly changed his tone: “Tell me what you want to say. If it has nothing to do with me, then it’s a waste of time. I’m not interested in listening to your nonsense.”

"Of course it has something to do with you. You know that Eden donated 200 billion euros to the Fire Moth. I specifically approached her and thought that she should also make a special donation to the Fifth Institute. After all, your research is of great significance and funding has always been lacking. She is of great value to you."

what?

Mebius' expressionless face suddenly looked better. She felt very comfortable with the flattery and couldn't help but hold the phone tightly.

"Hmph, keep talking."

"But Eden is a very smart person. She wouldn't donate for nothing, so I changed my approach and made a deal with her as an artist." Ryan paused for a moment, clenched his teeth, and tried to keep his voice steady.

"You? Artist?" Mebius raised his eyebrows, and that sarcastic voice returned.

"I know more than you think. For someone like Eden, besides being an artist, could he also be interested in scientific research or killing people?"

"Well, that makes sense, but what does it have to do with me?"

"I said I would get funding for you, how come it doesn't matter anymore!" Ryan's voice suddenly increased, not only occupying the momentum, but also hiding the unstable voice:

"The first deal was to take promotional photos for her. You know Alysia's personality. I didn't need to trick her at all. She took the bait on her own. Eden was very satisfied with the photo and paid her enough."

remuneration!

Mebius held his breath, completely forgetting the unhappiness just now, holding the phone and asked, "How much?"
