Chapter 96: Chapter 95: Who is the Real Boss?
"This is the Soulium you wanted. It may not look like much, but it's almost all that can be allocated at the moment. Mr. Otto paid a hefty price for this, so you better be grateful to me!"
Hera waved her hand, and eight heavy-duty trucks quickly transformed, their compartments shrinking to reveal rows of black metal boxes in front of Sigurd.
Oh, and from one of the compartments that fell, there was also a motionless man in a black robe and mask.
Hera approached him, lifted her skirt, and lightly tapped her white high heels on him.
Seeing no response, she nodded satisfactorily and said to Sigurd:
"This is a gift. Aren't you touched?"
Sigurd slowly took steps, head hanging low, swaying like a zombie, and reached the seemingly unconscious Gray Serpent.
Bang!
He kicked him with a force strong enough to shatter metal, yet Gray Serpent remained motionless.
Kiana quietly took a small step back, swallowed her saliva, and tried to lower her presence as much as possible.
Others in the orphanage did the same, clearing a spacious area for Sigurd, Hera, and Rita.
"Dead?"
Sigurd, with his head down and swaying, twisted his neck slowly, looking at Hera with an unusually dark expression and tone.
Hera couldn't help but take a step back.
Honestly, this version of Sigurd was not only novel and interesting but also frightening.
There was a dangerous aura surrounding him, as if he could summon a swarm of bees to explode with just a word.
Hera wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, trying to maintain a dignified smile, and said:
"Well, no, it's just that I used the Phoenix Down to deceive his consciousness. Right now, all his shared consciousnesses should think that this clone is successfully infiltrating and searching."
"How long can you deceive them?"
"Three to five days. If it's longer, even if the illusion is flawless, they will sense that something is wrong."
"Enough. Cocolia, suppress him, cut off his connection."
Sigurd glanced at Cocolia, causing the large golden-haired fox to shiver all over. She hurriedly responded with a pleasing smile:
"Yes!"
Cocolia dragged Gray Serpent's body down.
Her hurried footsteps were not to execute the order but to escape from Sigurd's aura.
Meanwhile, Sigurd moved his eyeballs, maintaining the creepy twisted neck posture, and looked at the maid Raven, who was stiffening on the edge.
Click! Click!
Raven who felt the dangerous aura around him also trembled in fear.
Hera, with a smile on her face, leaned her body down and said: "Sigurd, you only have one life, and I really don't recommend taking risks."
"Move aside."
Sigurd said indifferently, holding a piece of Soulium, completely ignoring Hera's advice.
Hera squinted her eyes.
Since it's back to business, her mindset naturally returned to normal.
She ignored Sigurd's gloomy aura and spoke gently and elegantly:
"In fact, I can clone several replicas for you. For safety, we can conduct experiments with the clones first. No need to be in such a hurry, right?"
"This experiment is prepared for myself. Cloning experiments have no reference value. My body and various states have been adjusted to the most suitable positions. There's no time to waste; once it's gone, it won't come back."
Sigurd said with a faint smile, showing no intention of yielding.
Suddenly, a group of drones appeared in the air.
They were smaller than the ones from the previous visit to the headquarters but exuded a more sci-fi texture.
Hera stepped aside.
Not out of fear; this body was specialized for combat, and a small number of drones posed no threat to her.
However, Sigurd's will was obviously firm, and he was about to lose patience.
Hera didn't want to conflict with him and understood that she couldn't force Sigurd.
At least, with her by his side, it might be a bit safer.
Sigurd stepped into the experiment chamber, holding the Soulium.
Hera watched quietly, taking a deep breath.
Neither of them mentioned the danger of Hera being in the headquarters and the potential risk of Sigurd losing his reaction ability.
Hera wouldn't act recklessly as long as she still wanted Sigurd's theories. It was an unspoken understanding between them.
