The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World
Chapter 398 What is conscience?
Before the car stopped, Mei opened the car door and jumped out. Kiana quickly wanted to chase her, but the car door quickly closed and locked.
"you……"
Mikael did not turn his head. He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. After about ten seconds, he spoke:
"Kiana-san, today...in the classroom...thank you for taking action."
His words were intermittent, as if every word had been carefully considered, but Kiana felt that the words were pieced together from fragmented words, which showed that the speaker's own mind was not peaceful.
"Uh... um... what should I call you? Brother, or uncle?"
Judging from the appearance alone, the eldest brother looks a bit old, but in terms of status, the other party is now Mei Yi's adoptive father, and judging from the time when the contract was signed, his actual age is far less young than he looks.
"Just call me Mikael."
"Ah, ah..."
Kiana originally thought that she was fearless, and that was indeed the case, but once it was time to communicate with Mikael, she would always feel inexplicably nervous, so her voice became softer and gentler, and she became more well-behaved. many.
However, it is not insurmountable.
Kiana took two deep breaths to calm the throbbing in her heart, and her voice quickly returned to its usual bounce:
"Hmph! It doesn't matter. Even if Mei's father really made a mistake... I mean, even if Mr. Raiden Ryoma really made a mistake, it's his business. What does it have to do with Mei? Why should she come? Should you bear this mistake? Besides, those people are not victims, they just want to bully Mei Yi!"
"Ta, ta, ta..."
Mikael was still tapping the steering wheel rhythmically. Kiana's words made him silent for a moment, but he quickly shook his head and said:
"Everyone understands the truth, but people often fail to act according to the truth they understand. So, Kiana, thank you."
"Eh?"
"The thank you just now was for Mei Yi, and the thank you now is from my own perspective."
Mikael finally turned his head and showed a meaningful smile.
Only he himself knows that there is not much about Mei Yi in this sentence of "Thank you", but it contains too much personal feelings.
Kiana was stunned. Although she couldn't figure out what Mikael was thinking, she instinctively sensed that something was wrong. However, she couldn't tell what was wrong, and this unusual thought was quickly thrown away. The back of my head.
But when she thought of Mei Yi, she explained a little coquettishly:
"Actually, it was Mei Yi who helped me first..."
She briefly recounted yesterday's sprained ankle, "This is the first time since my father left that someone cared about me so much. Meiyi not only helped me take care of my ankle injury, but also gave me a lunch. I accidentally The bento was all finished and there was nothing left for her, and she wasn't angry. Someone said bad things about me this morning, but she was the one who solved it... She didn't know me before, but she helped me so many times, so I didn't help her either. Do you need a reason?”
The girl's narration skills are not very good, she is just a simple description and retelling, with some childish grammar. Of course, Mikael would not tell her. In fact, he knew everything that happened between her and Mei Yi yesterday. This was nothing new to him, but the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.
But he quickly shook his head, and with this movement, the back seat door also opened.
He actually still had something to say, but Kiana had already jumped out of the car first.
"This child..."
Mikael didn't stop her either. He knew that Kiana would definitely come back.
Sure enough, she only took two or three steps, then turned around and looked around, her eyes gradually becoming blank, and finally she could only walk back.
"Hey! Mikael! Is this... Mea Yi's house?"
"Um."
"Um...can you do me a favor and send me...send me home? Hehehe..."
Mikael covered his forehead and could only say that it was indeed Kiana. Only now did he realize...
"Kiana, this is exactly what I want to ask you."
"Huh? What?"
"Mei's condition is not good. I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I can't be with her for the time being. So, Miss Kiana, can I ask you to stay with her for an afternoon and don't let her do stupid things?"
"Ah? Okay!"
After all, everyone has been brought here, and there seems to be no other choice. Kiana is not familiar with the streets of Changkong City. If Mikael doesn't send her back to the rental house next to the school, and she has no money, she still It's a bit troublesome. But she wasn't annoyed, and was even a little happy. After all, this way, she could stay by Mei Yi's side again.
Mikael chuckled lightly. It was not difficult to guess what the girl was thinking. He suddenly called out again:
"Hey, in this case, I don't know if I can make time to take you back tonight. How about you stay with Meiyi tonight?"
"L-live together?"
Kiana suddenly stuttered, and Mikael smiled silently and asked:
"Well - do you have any concerns? There is nothing else here. Toiletries are prepared. If you want to change clothes, you can also use Meiyi's first."
"Use, use, use Meiyi..."
Seeing Kiana's face getting redder and redder, Mikael finally stopped joking. He got out of the car, his attitude suddenly became a little cold, and walked straight into the villa regardless of whether Kiana agreed or not.
Kiana quickly followed, and they walked into the living room together, only to see two men sitting on the sofa in the living room. In the kitchen on the other side, a round head poked his head out when he heard the movement, and quickly shrank back. go back.
The two men on the sofa were no strangers to Mikael. One was Komatsu, whom he had just met in the morning, and the other was Gregory, the director of the "security department" next to Raiden Ryoma.
The person in the kitchen was naturally the chef hired by Raiden Ryoma. Something happened to Raiden Ryoma now, and he probably wouldn't be able to get his salary, so he packed his luggage and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by two other people, and he couldn't figure it out. In this situation, I can only hide in the kitchen and wait.
"Where's Mei?"
There was nothing unusual about Mikael's face, but the title said everything.
Gregory and Xiaosong narrowed their eyes at the same time, and finally Xiaosong said:
"The eldest lady has gone back to her room."
"oh."
Mikael responded and patted Kiana on the shoulder.
"You go up and accompany Meiyi first."
Kiana also felt the solemn atmosphere in the living room. She knew that this was what Mikael wanted to deal with, but she still smiled first. If Mikael hadn't patted her on the shoulder twice, she would have still I'd like to introduce myself.
There is no way, children of this age are like this, children of this age should be like this, no matter how complicated their childhood experiences are, they still maintain an almost childish kindness.
But she had just taken a step forward when Gregory asked with a straight face:
"who is she?"
"She" instead of "you". Obviously this sentence was not about Kiana. The latter glared at him with some annoyance, but his eyes went directly past the naive girl and fell on Mikael. .
"Kiana, Mei's classmate, when I arrived at school, Mei was being bullied, and she was the only one who helped Mei."
Mikael shrugged and emphasized the word "only", but the two men didn't seem to notice this at all, especially Komatsu. He stood up with a roar and shouted loudly. road:
"What? The eldest lady was bullied in school? Who did it? I..."
"Ahem!"
Gregory cleared his throat and shouted: "You shouted so loudly, do you want the eldest lady to hear you?"
Mikael shook his head and then explained:
"It's all been solved. The people who took action each lost an arm. The leader will probably be in bed for the rest of his life."
Kiana trembled all over and looked at Mikael in shock.
"I... was just joking. You go up and accompany Mei Yi first. Go quickly!"
After confirming that the girl was "safe", Gregory and Xiaosong did not stop her. In fact, these two guys were sincerely happy that the eldest lady could make a true friend.
The reason is also very simple. The so-called "security department" is not a staff of ME Company, but simply serves Raiden Ryoma personally.
In fact, this security department has always been in a very embarrassing position in terms of its function - Raiden Ryoma himself has the true inheritance of Beichen Ittoryu, coupled with the technology and ruthless blessings that Anti-Entropy has always been proud of, he will be able to defeat any enemy he encounters. He can solve it, but he can't solve the situation that requires support. This security department is not as helpful as the tactical mecha.
But it still has the meaning of existence. On the one hand, it is to ensure the safety of Miss Raiden Mei, and on the other hand, it is to have something in his hand that he can use when the interests of Raiden Ryoma conflict with the interests of ME Society and Anti-Entropy. the power of.
In Gregory's eyes, this was undoubtedly the second situation. Although Raiden Ryoma himself did not issue any orders, the entire security department still acted together, but in this way the eldest lady's side was ignored. Now It didn't lead to a big disaster, and he was secretly relieved.
"This... is so serious... will I get into trouble?"
The sudden interruption of the fourth voice startled everyone. It turned out to be the chef hired by Raiden Ryoma. He probably knew that he would not be able to leave before the three men finished talking, so he simply accepted the reality and gave it to him. The three men in the living room each brought a glass of juice.
"Well, it's possible. Do we need to deal with it?"
Gregory almost narrowed his eyes. Mikael understood what he meant, but he shook his head decisively:
"No need, I can handle it without causing any loss of life. What trouble can those guys cause?"
As soon as the words came out, Mikael himself was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became darker.
I have to admit that when he dealt with that matter at noon today, his method was a bit excessive. Of course, these are not the most important. The most important thing is... There was a time when he could even use the power of consciousness to read the thoughts of his comrades without having to apologize repeatedly in his heart. Even five hundred years ago, he ran into Ellie's memory. After crying in front of me, I finally made up my mind to "move forward no matter what", but now I can easily turn a girl who is not innocent, but not guilty enough, into a vegetative state without any remorse in my heart.
His right hand clenched and then slowly loosened.
"Forget it, let her stay in the hospital for a week first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
However, there was one thing he told half a lie - Thousand Feathers Academy is a famous academy in Changkong City and even the entire Far East. Even Thunder and Lightning Ryoma wanted to give Thousand Feathers Academy some face. Mikael made a move in a place like this. There is indeed some trouble.
With his power, it is not impossible to settle this matter, but he is unwilling to do so, which means that he has to use his power to influence too many people. If there is no other way, he is willing to give it a try, but in fact This matter didn't require him to take action.
After all, this matter involves the future Second Herrscher and Third Herrscher. The secrets of these two children are indeed not known to most people, but they cannot be hidden from the top management of the three major organizations: Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and Taixu. The small Qianyu Academy is full of spies from the three major organizations. In order to ensure that these two children can grow up according to "their" planned trajectory, the three major organizations will not let this matter spread.
Oh, no, there should be a fourth one. After all, I saw the gray snake today...
Thinking of this, Mikael got a headache again.
But these are all problems later. He still needs to solve the immediate matter first. He does not believe that Gregory and Xiaosong are here just to drink a glass of juice. He knows what these people are going to do. Of course, if he is asked to give a comment If it were, it would just be those three words - playing house.
He slowly sat down opposite Gregory and took a sip of the juice.
"Well, the juice is good, but remember to get two cups for Mei and Kiana."
The chef hurried back to the kitchen and sent two more glasses of juice upstairs. During the whole process, the three men in the living room just sipped the juice, and no one wanted to be the first to speak.
This may be a bit inaccurate. Mikael has no need to speak, and he doesn't want to speak. Xiaosong is not qualified to speak. Only Grigory probably doesn't want Mei to hear the next words, even half a word. So he would rather waste some time and wait until the cook retreated to the kitchen, then he finished the juice in one gulp and gently put it on the coffee table.
"Mikael, the last time we met was eight years ago."
"Um."
Mikael responded calmly. When a person like him, whose number could not be found in the global household registration system, wanted to get in touch with Thunder and Lightning Ryoma, he naturally needed some special means, including but not limited to the use of violence. Otherwise, How to prove your identity to him and make a deal with him?
"I was also present at the original transaction. According to the agreement, Mikael, you are now the guardian of the eldest lady, right?"
"Um."
With the same nonchalant answer, Mikael turned the glass in his hand silently, watching intently as the slightly viscous juice slowly dropped down on the wall of the cup, as if this was more attractive than Gregory.
Gregory didn't care. Since he watched the transaction eight years ago as a witness, he should know that Mikael's willingness to sit here now is the greatest respect for him.
Therefore, he didn't sell out anymore.
"Mr. Ryoma was framed by Cocolia. We must make her pay the price and rescue Mr. Ryoma. Mikael, you are the current guardian of the eldest lady and Mr. Ryoma's friend. I hope you can do your part. "
He didn't know how to ask for help, and his tone was extremely stiff, even with a hint of condescending command.
But Mikael didn't care and just shook his head slowly and firmly.
Xiaosong was about to stand up immediately, but Gregory held him back.
"Mikael, can you tell me why?"
Mikael raised his eyes and glanced at him. He didn't want to explain more, but he didn't want to make things too troublesome either.
"It's very simple. This part was not included in the original transaction."
"Then we can make a new deal..."
Mikael waved his hand and interrupted him directly:
"I'm sorry, I got everything I wanted eight years ago."
"Yeah……"
Gregory clenched his fists. He knew that Mikael's mind had been made up and could not be shaken, so he was ready to get up and leave.
But Xiaosong, who didn't understand what was going on, couldn't stand it anymore. He jumped up, rushed to Mikael, and held his shoulders.
"Mikael! Everyone knows that Mr. Ryoma was framed, and you have also been favored by Mr. Ryoma. When something happens to Mr. Ryoma, are you not willing to give even a little help? Do you still have a conscience!"
Mikael remained silent, and Xiaosong thought that his words had awakened Mikael, but who knew that he was just taking a breather.
"First of all, Mr. Ryoma and I are neither friends, nor have we received favors from him. Our relationship is limited to Party A and Party B. Secondly..."
Mikael let go of his right hand and smiled contemptuously:
"What is a conscience? I don't have one."
"you……"
"Okay! Xiaosong, let's go."
Gregory was not surprised by this ending. He picked up the reluctant Xiaosong and was about to leave, but Mikael spoke again the moment they pushed open the door of the villa:
"Just a word of advice, don't provoke Cocolia."
