I am the former civilized hero.

Chapter 197 Is This Enough?

It’s so comfortable. I must experience taking a bath when I come to Neon.

Ryan curled up comfortably in the bathtub. The cold weather made the bath even more enjoyable. The fatigue accumulated over more than ten hours was rapidly diminishing. He couldn't help but raise his head and yawned at the foggy bathroom.

It was really nice to rest during this period. My daily routine at the Fire Moth headquarters was very regular, even better than when I was in the academy.

At that time, he went to school during the day and occasionally had to go out to carry out missions or deal with Honkai. This time, he had not taken any action for more than a month and had not even participated in a mock battle.

The fighting skills have long been engraved in his bones. Ryan is not worried that he will lose his skills. He thinks it is a good thing for the Herrscher to be a little more cautious.

If they don't jump out, I won't have to hunt them all over the world.

Leaning his head against the wall, most of his brain cells were consumed by research during this period, and he would only occasionally think about the Fire Moth.

'The electromagnetic signature has tripled since I entered this apartment, someone should be getting nervous.'

Of course, even Hua wouldn't believe the excuse of vacation, let alone those agents. But it's also difficult to monitor me. The person in charge here is probably cursing.

Ryan grinned. He didn't mind causing some trouble in Tokyo. He was free anyway and it might be good to practice.

If I stay for another two days, someone will probably come to see me.

He stood up, the water droplets slowly rolled down, and after drying them, he put on a newly bought shirt and spread out his hands. The water droplets on his hair peeled off by themselves, making his hair drier than with a hair dryer.

"Who said that authority can only be used for fighting?"

As a master of time management, Ryan integrated the practice into his life and gradually made it an instinct.

"Hua, is the meal ready?"

He stuck his head out, but saw that Hua was not cooking at all, but was standing with Carol, and no one knew what he was doing.

"What are you two doing?"

"No, Carol said she had eaten and wanted to go home." Hua said as he pushed her out to the entrance.

Carol resisted and whispered in her ear: "Remember courage, courage, childhood sweethearts can't lose, you don't want to be treated as a sister for the rest of your life."

boom--

The door was closed, finally locking the annoying guy out. She turned her back to the door and saw Ryan walking out of the room carrying a bag.

Courage, how can I have the courage in front of him? My senior brother didn’t think about it that way. In a sense, I am not even as good as Mobius.

Although the doctor was tough in words, he was very quick in action. The so-called childhood sweethearts, because they were too familiar with each other, lacked surprise, which was a big taboo.

Hua also secretly read those magazines, even more carefully than Carol, and the more he read, the more he felt something was wrong.

"What are you mumbling about? Aren't you going to eat?" Ryan noticed that her expression was a little strange. He had just confirmed that there was no alcohol in the room, otherwise this wooden stake would be a headache.

"Oh yes, please take a seat."

The two returned to the living room, and Hua brought the dishes and rice to the table. Her cooking skills were average, and she could only cook some home-cooked dishes.

Dumpling soup, black fungus and pork slices, stir-fried bottle gourd, except that the pork slices were too salty, the other dishes were pretty good.

Ryan took a bite of rice and shook his head. “I haven’t had home-cooked food for a long time. Those idiots are so picky and tortured me in various ways.”

Hua lowered his head and ate his meal, and asked in a sullen voice: "It seems that you are very happy staying in the headquarters?"

Ryan was about to nod when he suddenly smelled something sour, so he changed his tone and said, "It's better than sleeping outside in the open, and I can also get familiar with cooking. Let me cook tomorrow night."

"Well, I haven't tasted my senior brother's cooking for a long time." Hua's expression finally improved a little, and he picked up a large piece of meat for Ryan.

Still a child after all.

Ryan laughed secretly in his heart. In a few days, Hua would be almost eighteen years old. Now he would be just an underage kid.

"By the way, you don't plan to be transferred to the headquarters? The situation in Neon is pretty bad, right?"

"It's really bad, so I can't leave. You taught me that a warrior can't retreat." Hua held his face and was slightly lost in thought. "I have learned a lot in this year. I have experienced failure and regret. I have made friends one by one, and watched them pass away in front of my eyes."

I also taught you what it means to be a wise man who knows the current affairs.

Ryan glanced at her and found that Hua had matured a lot not only in her appearance but also mentally.

"You don't sound sad?"

"It's no use being sad. As long as I'm still alive, I'll have to keep fighting. But don't worry, I won't waver."

The girl had a faint smile on her face. To be honest, her resume was very ordinary among the heroes. She didn't have many outstanding achievements and her strength was average, as if she represented the vast majority of ordinary people in this world.

"But this stubbornness is your greatest advantage. The world is changing too fast, and fewer and fewer people can maintain their own identity." Ryan encouraged her as usual and pointed to the photo on the dining table:

"For example, Himiko, she should know who the Fourth Herrscher is. Has anything changed?"

This made Hua feel embarrassed. She was dull to begin with, so how could she observe micro-expressions? So she tilted her head and thought for a long time.

"I sometimes get dazed, but most of the time I'm pretty normal. Oh, I drink more than before, but I did remember one thing."

"what's up?"

"The captain seems to be investigating something related to Lieutenant Rose. I don't know the details."

Lieutenant Rose?

Ryan thought of this old acquaintance again. Starting from her, many things changed. Then the other party died in his hands, and the power was still warm.

"That's a woeful story, what's her problem?"

"I heard that Lieutenant Rose was supposed to receive psychological treatment, but was sent to that fleet and became an executioner." Hua answered as calmly as possible and sighed:

"The lieutenant's incident had a great impact on the captain. Lieutenant Rose was her adjutant and good friend. After this incident, the captain was criticized a lot."

This includes you, after all, you all have a good relationship.

Ryan added silently in his heart that there was nothing that could be done about it. The Herrscher of the Wind had nearly 10 million lives at his disposal, so someone had to take the blame. It was already remarkable that Himiko could escape from the endless investigation.

Is there something wrong with the lieutenant? It should be similar to the third Herrscher in nature.

"I'll keep an eye on this. I'll go visit Himiko in person in a couple of days. Maybe I can find out more about the Honkai invasion."

Why is it related?

Hua didn't quite understand, but he firmly believed in Ryan's intelligence. He quickly finished the meal on the table and stood up to clear the plates, but was stopped by Ryan again.

"The brass knuckles I gave you last time have probably been broken."

"Well, yes. After becoming a fusion warrior, ordinary metals can't withstand the Houkai energy." Hua answered honestly. She was heartbroken for a long time when the brass knuckles were dissolved, and she specially put the wreckage into a box for safekeeping.

"I knew it. Sorry, the gift is a little late." Ryan opened the bag, revealing a pair of silver-gray gloves. "I asked Wei Wei to make this for me. The main material is soul steel, with some fluid metal added. Please stand a little further away."

Hua took a few steps back and saw Ryan put on boxing gloves and threw them casually.

woo-

The air exploded and a flash of silver light passed by, like the flash of a sword.

"It has a certain ability to transform, and it will be very effective at critical moments. Give it a name."

Hua took it in his hand, and stroked the metal surface with shining eyes. After a long while, he replied: "That sound just now, why not call it 'Tiger Roar'?"

"Domineering, it doesn't sound like a weapon for girls, but I'm glad you like it." Ryan didn't hesitate and took the plate from her decisively, "Since you cooked the meal, I'll wash the dishes."

"Don't you hate washing dishes?"

"It has to be fair. I hate bullying honest people. You are just too honest sometimes." Ryan tapped her on the head and went to the kitchen with the plate. On the way, he remembered something.

Mobius, you are so useless that you were defeated by such an honest Hua.

Hua held the tea in his hand and curled up on the sofa, staring at Ryan's back as he washed the dishes.

Carol was wrong. I was not retreating, nor was I lacking courage, because I didn't want much.

Brother, you can keep me in your heart, and still think of me even though we are thousands of miles apart, then——

Is that enough...?

Chapter 198 You're going too far!

The night passed uneventfully. After Ryan washed the dishes, he sat side by side with Hua to watch TV. While watching a variety show that was not funny at all, they chatted about recent events.

It doesn't require much thought, and there's nothing to keep.

Ryan briefly talked about the Pseudo-Hermenisters, asking her to be more careful with the Fire Moths in the future, and then talked about some breakthroughs in research, omitting the process and only talking about the results.

"The Key of God is actually made. I thought Weili was joking." Hua held the tea and widened her eyes slightly. This kind of thing was too profound for her, an excellent high school student.

"She looks unreliable, but she is actually very important. It's worth the effort I put into getting her into the Fire Moth."

"But you just said that the Fire Moth is unreliable."

"However, there is no other platform that can replace it. Just like Edwin from the Far East branch has a good relationship with me, but he may not stand on my side." Ryan spread out his hands and gently clenched them into fists.

“Strength and power are sometimes similar, but they are by no means the same. The latter is much more complicated.”

Hua still didn't quite understand. He only knew that Ryan didn't have such a big appetite to eat the entire Fire Moth, and the world could not be saved by just a few supermen, so he nodded hesitantly.

"Dr. May probably doesn't agree with acting hastily. I guess she would rather separate enemies, friends, and neutrals."

"Almost. Mei has made preparations, but the world does not change according to my will. It would be best if I could take over smoothly, but I can't stand those people constantly holding me back." Ryan replied in a deep voice, and suddenly clapped his hands lightly, "Okay, you don't have to think too much about this kind of thing. Just be careful. At least the Far East Branch and the Southern Shenzhou Branch are friends."

He suddenly didn't want to talk about these brain-worrying things, so he changed the subject:

"By the way, are you still playing that Ark of Doom?"

"Well, I play when I'm on break." Hua Xing took out his phone and said proudly, "I drew two six-star characters, both of which are my favorite characters."

"How many draws in total?"

"About a hundred and fifty. As long as it's not crooked, I'm satisfied."

Isn’t that a big guarantee? When you see Kevin’s golden fleet, you’ll probably be shocked.

Ryan suppressed his laughter and pointed at the screen: "There is still one more ten-shot combo, do you want my help?"

"Uh, that's not necessary." Hua still remembered the shock of the double yellow, but seeing Ryan's regretful expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let me see how lucky I am."

She still couldn't believe that the gap between the unlucky people and the European emperors could be so huge, then she saw Ryan took the phone and pressed it lightly.

Colorful light appeared, illuminating Hua's dull face. In the golden light rising into the sky -

Why is it double yellow again!!
