Chapter 390 Playing House

"Um?"

Hearing the roar of the engine outside the window, Raiden Ryoma put down the newspaper in his hand, picked up the tea cup beside him and took a sip of coffee, then stood up and suddenly opened the curtains of the study.

Although his movements and reactions were quite fast, he only saw the black car parked downstairs. The back seat of the car was open and empty.

He hurriedly rushed out of the study, and as expected, Mikael held Mei Yi across his arms and had just walked through the hall of the villa, slowing down and going up the stairs gently.

"Mr. Mikael..."

As soon as Raiden Ryoma spoke, Mikael shook his head and turned his head downward. Raiden Ryoma followed and saw that Mei was already asleep.

"I'm afraid she was a little too stimulated today. Although it's still a little early, I let her go to bed first."

"Ah...ah..."

Thunder Ryoma was speechless and could only pretend to be calm as he watched Mikael and Mei in his arms pass him by.

He sighed, took two steps forward, and stood in front of the railing on the second floor of the villa. He gently put his hands on the railing and slowly stroked the texture of the mahogany without saying a word.

After a while, Mikael settled Mei down and walked out of the latter's bedroom. He stood behind Thunder Ryoma and cleared his throat. The latter raised his head slightly, turned around and squeezed out a smile:

"Thanks, come with me."

The two men walked slowly to the study. Raiden Ryoma didn't say anything, so Mikael locked the study door tightly. It was obviously not the first time they had a secret conversation. Ryoma himself also walked to the window of the study and closed the curtains again. He pulled it tight and pressed the button on the wall:

"drop--"

Emerald green lights lit up, and a layer of armor plates made of special alloy fell on the two windows and door openings of the study. In fact, not to mention the study room, the walls, roofs, and ceilings of the entire villa are covered with armor plates made of the same formula as the Fire Chaser base. Now they are just covering the gaps such as window openings and door openings.

Of course, there are more changes in the entire villa and estate. Countless protective equipment hidden in the darkness have been activated. There are more than 20 automatic machine guns hidden in the lush shrubs of the garden. There are almost no blind spots for shooting. There are also eight rocket launchers. Weapons and two miniature anti-aircraft missiles. If someone is not smart and wants to cause trouble, I am afraid they will turn into ashes before he does it.

In just two or three seconds, this exquisite large villa in the Yamate District was transformed into a military fortress that could not be destroyed even by an intercontinental missile.

It is true that as the president of ME Club, Raiden Ryoma must pay attention to the safety of himself and his daughter, but from the perspective of ordinary people, such protection is obviously a bit excessive.

No, it's not a bit excessive, it's just too exaggerated. In addition to everything mentioned above, there is an air-raid shelter below the main building of the villa specifically designed to deal with fission and radiation weapons. In addition to the most basic survival supplies, countless tactical mechas are also stored in the cave -

There are a total of twenty-seven MR-01 (Titan) mechas, eight MR-03 (Royal Thunder) mechas, thirteen MR-011 (Gaia) heavy-armored mechas, and the enhanced MR-01C ( Qingtian) and MR-011C (Panshi) mechas, two each.

As for other small mechas, there are countless others, including the car that Mikael drove today. It is also equipped with a relatively low-level AI intelligent module. When necessary, it can transform like the Autobots in the movie. This is what Mikael has previously said. The reason why it can be manipulated with Corrosion Power.

In short, even Mikael was a little shocked when he first learned about this weapon reserve. Although these things in his hands were nothing more than rubbish that could not be sustained by a snap of his fingers, in the current Changkong City, it is difficult not to doubt Raiden. Is Ryoma planning to rebel...

Of course, it is completely understandable to be shocked and understandable. After all, Raiden Ryoma’s identity as the president and the entire ME club are just a cover. His real identity is the executive officer of the Far East branch of Anti-Entropy. ME Club does have its own business, but its essence is the branch of Anti-Entropy in the Far East. department.

Even the little girl Mei Yi can clearly see the current situation in Jidong. Both Destiny and Anti-Entropy want to get their hands on the Far East, while China has no interest in the Far East, but they don't want the Far East to be monopolized by either of the former two. Therefore, compared to the fanfare in other areas, the actions of Destiny and Anti-Entropy in the Far East are relatively cautious and obscure.

The branch of Counter-Entropy is disguised as the ME Club, while the Far East branch of Destiny has settled in the Far East under the guise of "cultivating Valkyries", in the form of St. Freya Academy.

Although thanks to the joint efforts of Thunderbolt Ryoma and a certain dwarf, the destiny and anti-entropy forces in the Far East have been in an incredible state of peace for the past ten years, we must be on guard against others. St. Freya's students can Providing the combat power of three to four B-class Valkyrie squads, plus the A-class Valkyrie Himeko, the former S-class Valkyrie Theresa, and the large aerial battleship Hyperion, this lineup is comparable to what is hidden in this villa. The mecha is much more luxurious.

But, in the final analysis, this is just preparation for the "worst possibility". After so many years, Thunder and Lightning Ryoma may not know Otto, but he knows enough about Theresa. Of course, conflicts exist, but if it turns into a war... ...But don’t forget that there are still three ancestors sitting in China across the sea.

Not to mention, Theresa shouldn't be able to do such dirty tricks as she did today.

"Pah——"

"Hiss-hoo-"

Raiden Ryoma sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette. As the smoke drifted away, his frown gradually opened.

"Huh? Do you want one?"

Out of courtesy, he handed a cigarette to Mikael, and Mikael, who was sitting on the other side of the coffee table, took it without hesitation.

He held the cigarette between his fingers and did not move for a long time.

After a while, a small flame appeared between the index fingers of his left hand, and he used the fire to light the cigarette. However, he did not put the cigarette holder into his mouth, but stood it upright on the coffee table. The boundary between the ashes and the new moved down bit by bit. The smoke gathered into a wisp and emerged from this boundary, and then divided into countless wisps and dispersed in the air. At first glance, it seemed that what was standing on the coffee table in front of Mikael was not a cigarette. , but a slowly burning incense stick.

Thunderbolt Ryoma shook his head. He was not used to the other party's strange behavior, at least he was used to it. No matter what this man did, he would not be surprised. That was probably the case.

He took a long puff of cigarette, exhaled it for a long time, and then stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray without caring that it was still burning.

"My little girl was taken care of today."

He was polite at first.

Mikael shook his head:

"Yu Gong, we have signed a contract. From today on, I am responsible for Mei Yi's safety, and you have paid the price. Yu Si, I also have a reason to let her live."

Raiden Ryoma drank half a cup of coffee in one gulp and regained his energy a little. He was not surprised by Mikael's attitude, but Mikael's words at this time were full of doubts, just like the man himself who suddenly appeared in front of him many years ago.

Maybe he should ask questions in time, but after thinking for a while, Raiden Ryoma decided to consider the immediate matter first:

"Mr. Mikael, who do you think organized this kidnapping?"

After the Thunderbolt Ryoma finished speaking, he raised his neck and drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp. But he was not satisfied yet, so he ran to the cabinet in the study and opened a bottle of whiskey.

Mikael was not in a hurry to speak, but waited for the Thunder Ryoma to sit back down with two crystal scent glasses and a bottle of whiskey. Ryoma first poured a third of the glass, pushed it to Mikael, and then gave it to Mikael. Pour yourself a third of a cup.

"It's a pity. Although it's winter, according to the Scottish custom, it should be warmed and drunk, but I still want some ice cubes."

"That's not okay."

Mikael picked up the tulip-shaped crystal cup and shook it gently. The light amber wine surged, as if there was a touch of golden light contained in the cup.

"Such a good wine is wasted by adding ice. Mixing it with some slightly cold water is the best choice."

Mikael flexed his fingers. There was a little more liquid in their glasses and the color became lighter.

"bite--"

The two were silent, except for the sound of the wine glasses clinking together for a long time.

"good."

Thunder Ryoma took a sip, while Mikael drank it all.

"This is the first time I know you know how to drink. I always thought you didn't drink."

"Just because you don't drink doesn't mean you don't know how to drink. As for knowing how to drink...it's just that two old friends like this thing."

Thunder Ryoma changed into a more comfortable position, half lying on the sofa, and said:

"Okay, let's get back to the serious topic. Who do you think is responsible for the kidnapping this time? Is there any evidence at the scene to identify the other party?"

Mikael shook his head cleanly, but Raiden Ryoma didn't know which point he wanted to deny.

"Mr. Raiden Ryoma, do you think there is a second option to the question of who is the person hired by the kidnapper?"

"Who knows?"

The thunder and lightning dragon horse spread his hands:

"Kidnapping my daughter is nothing more than an attempt to impose conditions on me. There are many people who would do this. Destiny may do this, and China may do this..."

"Thunder Ryoma, there's no need to test me like this, you know that's not what I'm talking about."

Thunder Ryoma's words were interrupted, but he was not angry. He held the whiskey under his lips and took a sip from time to time, but his eyes narrowed smaller and smaller.

"The person who wants to harm Mei Yi this time should be the same person, or the same group of people, as the initiator of the previous undercurrents in ME Club and the assassination of Ryoma yourself yesterday."

"Any clues?"

"The ones who assassinated you yesterday are the same mercenaries who tried to kidnap Mei Yi today. This is for sure."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Those two are top-ranked mercenaries in the world, Raven and Ural Silver Wolf, the legendary deadly combination in Siberia."

"It's actually the two of them! I heard that they disappeared for two years, and I thought they had washed their hands...and, are they so young? Although I didn't see their faces, in terms of body shape, they are similar to Mei Yi At this age, they are still children..."

"Are you surprised? Siberia is the resting place of the Destiny and China. To put it nicely, it means joint management, and to put it worst, it means that it doesn't care. It has a sparse population and extreme poverty due to climate reasons. The second collapse fourteen years ago was even more... To add insult to injury, the whole country is broken. I believe the kids there learned to use guns before they could even walk."

Thunderbolt Ryoma shook his head in disbelief, feeling a little sad.

"Well! Be happy. This at least proves that you didn't create another enemy out of thin air. Isn't this a great thing? Come on, let's drink to such a good thing!"

Mikael poured himself half a glass of wine while talking to himself.

"..."

Although he was no stranger to Mikael changing his tone of voice from time to time, Raiden Ryoma still felt that it felt unreal.

But it didn't matter, he just sipped the whiskey quietly and waited for Mikael to continue.

"As for who this enemy is..."

Mikael sneered twice and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Longma, you should understand that ME Club is the carrier of the Far East Branch of Counter-Entropy, and you are the driver of this carrier. Even if Tianming and Shenzhou want to target Counter-Entropy, their goal should be to wipe out ME Club in one fell swoop and kill it directly. . And the assassination against you and the kidnapping against Mei Yi are not It can bring about this effect. Although the binding force of the Anti-Entropy Headquarters on each executive is very low, if something happens to you, ME Club will not turn to Tianming and Shenzhou because of this, but will wait for the new ones selected by Anti-Entropy. Executive. So, after you, who is the winner?"

"well……"

The thunder and lightning dragon horse raised his head and sighed, and uttered one word:

"Reverse entropy."

"Look, you know it very well, don't you?"

But the thunder and lightning dragon horse shook his head:

"No, the alliance leader, Ai Yin and Tesla are not such people. Although they have deceived everyone on the issue of 'Walter', I still don't think they will make the decision to fight against each other."

"Oh? Regarding this, I don't have much meaning. But, when did I say it was the Anti-Entropy Headquarters?"

"Huh? What do you mean..."

A bright light flashed in Thunder Ryoma's narrowed eyes.

"Where do ravens and silver wolves come from?"

Mikael suddenly interjected something seemingly irrelevant.

But for Raiden Ryoma, it only took him less than a second to understand Mikael's subtext.

"Siberia."

he replied feebly.

Mikael didn't say anything, he just poured another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

That's right, only that woman could use such an all-out method.

"From today on, you stay at home and I will protect Meiyi's safety outside. However, I don't think the situation is that bad."

"What's the meaning?"

"Maybe she doesn't want to kill her."

Mikael rubbed his chin and slowly explained:

"Not to mention Mei, her significance as a hostage is greater. But when you were assassinated yesterday... To be honest, based on my understanding of Raven and Silver Wolf, they are both excellent killers. For excellent killers, It is said that exposing yourself to the target is never the best way if the mastermind behind the scenes is ordinary. People, they might have to be careful about the impact and have to use less noticeable and more dangerous methods of assassination, which makes sense, but for that crazy woman in Cocolia, she can use a bomb in front of the court. If I want to blow you up, I will never choke you with a fishing line. This is obviously unreasonable."

Listening to Mikael's words, he touched his neck with lingering fear, where there was still a thin trace of blood.

He was not a fool, so he continued his analysis following Mikael's words:

"So, the so-called assassinations and kidnappings are all fake. Or, in other words, these are just a warning, warning me that if I understand, I will quickly voluntarily quit ME Club. Otherwise, don't blame her for being rude?"

"Probably so."

"Ha! Okay, then I want to see what she can do to me?"

The clay figurine is still angry, not to mention that the thunder and lightning dragon and horse are provoked again and again?

Moreover, it is true that ME Company has truly grown because of reverse entropy, but ME Company was also pulled up from a small company by his hard work, and it is not something that can be picked by anyone who wants to pick peaches!

He wanted to see how the madman from Cocolia left Siberia, which he was familiar with, and came to the completely unfamiliar Far East. How would he fight against himself, who had been operating in Far East for ten years?

Besides...

The Thunderbolt Ryoma glanced at Mikael and suddenly requested:

"Mr. Mikael, can you just send Cocolia..."

"I refuse. Our agreement does not include helping you deal with the enemy."

"All right……"

"Now, if there's nothing else, I'll go to bed."

Mikael stood up and seemed to be in a hurry to leave, while Thunder Ryoma took another sip of whiskey and finally drank the first glass cleanly.

When Mikael walked to the door of the study, the special alloy armor plate slowly rose, but it still took a while.

Taking advantage of this moment, Thunder and Lightning Ryoma suddenly spoke again:

"Mikael, you promised to protect Mei."

"Well, no matter what you do, no matter when and where, I will protect her. If I want to say why, I also said before that I have a reason to let her live. But on other issues, with all due respect , I have no intention of playing house with my children.”
