Chapter 557: Chapter 557 Beautiful Women (14)_1 Chapter 557: Chapter 557 Beautiful Women (14)_1 When Kagetsu Kana left, her elderly father’s eyes were noticeably complex, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Unfortunately, the person in question was quite resolute, showing no interest in communicating.
“Aren’t you curious about what happened?”
However, after the two of them got into the car, and Kagetsu Kana, who had been waiting in vain for a question, finally couldn’t help but speak first.
“Not curious.”
Fu Qian didn’t even turn his head.
…
“Actually, there’s nothing much. My father knew I came back to stay at my sister’s place, so he specifically came to find me.”
After a brief silence, Kana continued in a tone of casual conversation, as if it was nothing significant.
“Is that so? But he didn’t seem very happy.”
Was it an uncontrollable desire to brag after all?
Though he responded casually, Fu Qian privately assessed the situation.
The posture he had just now was intentional. It proved that Kana had quite poor self-control in certain aspects, taking great pleasure in demonstrating her influence over others.
And from the information he had seen before, this didn’t seem to be a side effect of the Miracle Elixir, but rather her style all along.
“That’s because there are reasons…”
Seeing that Fu Qian still seemed somewhat disinterested, Kagetsu Kana was clearly not satisfied.
“Because when he came in, my sister was embracing me.”
“Hmm? But isn’t it normal for sisters to embrace each other?”
Fu Qian frowned slightly, his interest seeming to pick up a bit.
“Naked.”
Kagetsu Kana said with a smile, adding a bit more detail.
Finally, she piqued Fu Qian’s interest, which evidently made her quite proud, and her mood noticeably improved.
Was it that kind of scenario? Then it was somewhat understandable why the old father would pull out a knife.
The question was, how did he know in advance what he might see, to the extent that he even brought a knife?
The truth was probably not so simple.
Although he believed Kana was not lying, being an expert in this area, Fu Qian was all too familiar with how to mislead with the truth.
“Don’t be sad, the elderly always have a harder time accepting these things,” Fu Qian said, returning to a neutral tone.
…
Kagetsu Kana frowned at Fu Qian, quite dissatisfied with his reaction.
“Actually, I don’t really know what’s going on. My sister has always been cold to me since we were young.”
“Only in recent years has she suddenly become much closer to me.”
Despite her discontent, Kagetsu Kana knew well that she was dealing with a dangerous individual, a Human-Demon who preyed on his own kind, so she dared not show negative emotions.
And lacking influence over such a character deeply unsettled her, prompting her to bite her lip and speak of the past.
“To be honest, it troubles me. Do you know why?”
“Why?”
“Because, actually, I don’t like being held by someone of the same sex in bed.”
“No wonder, I also don’t like having someone of the same sex as dinner,” Fu Qian replied with a reassuring yet eerie choice of words.
This was indeed the truth; the victims of Darcy from the information he had before were mainly young females, and most of them were conservative in behavior.
In this respect, seeking out Kagetsu Kana was also an unusual situation for him.
…
This conversation clearly did not achieve the effect Kana desired.
Unfortunately, she did not have much more time to make an effort because they had already reached their destination.
And as one of the only two remaining opportunities, even if the hope was slim, Kana still valued it highly, her attention immediately diverted.
Entering Yasui Tower, she took a deep breath, trying to adjust her state to the best condition, perhaps to spark a sort of mini-cosmos.
However, when she noticed Zetian proactively coming forward to greet her, she felt both surprised and flattered, and involuntarily glanced at Fu Qian.
After all, these two had just had an unpleasant quarrel yesterday.
“Miss Kisaragi is here, so please come with me.”
By the time day had turned into evening, Zetian had already readjusted his attitude, regaining his usual elitist demeanor.
After greeting Kagetsu Kana, he even nobly nodded to Fu Qian in recognition.
“Of course!”
Zetian’s posture allowed Kagetsu Kana’s suspended heart to relax, her smile becoming even more alluring and radiant.
“May I come in too?”
Just as she was about to move, Fu Qian suddenly spoke up from the side.
…
Kagetsu Kana’s smile instantly stiffened, looking at Fu Qian in disbelief.
However, before she could say anything, Zetian had already frowned and spoke up.
“What does Mr. Darcy mean? The accompanying personnel definitely cannot enter.”
“What if I were to accept your suggestion from yesterday?”
“…Really?”
Zetian’s acting was still passable, with his eyes lighting up quite naturally.
“I must say, I’m glad you’ve changed your mind, but Mr. Darcy’s attitude has changed so drastically from yesterday to now. May I know the reason?”
“Simple, after going back I thought it over carefully, and I deeply feel the world is increasingly chaotic, a mere death mark can no longer give me enough sense of security.”
Fu Qian explained with a smile.
“Especially Miss Kisaragi’s enthusiasm, which has also affected me.”
“It’s truly great that Mr. Darcy has come to realize this.”
After listening intently, Zetian stared at Fu Qian for a few seconds before nodding.
“Then please come with me.”
…
When Kagetsu Kana was led away by the summoned staff, she was clearly in a state of confusion.
She presumably couldn’t imagine how she had ‘infected’ Fu Qian.
Meanwhile, Fu Qian continued along the way with Zetian.
After meandering around, he took Fu Qian into a room.
“You’ll need to wait a little while. After the test data comes out, I need to report your situation separately first. Approval is required before the elixir can be distributed, but don’t worry, the chances are high.”
“Okay.”
Fu Qian, who hadn’t undergone any testing, nodded and gestured for Zetian to proceed as he wished.
At this moment, Zetian’s expression looked somewhat serious.
But this wasn’t out of place, because all along the way, everyone had the same expression, as if they were all involved in a great endeavor.
As anticipated, Yasui Corp operated like a ceaselessly running machine, with countless materials entering like an assembly line for this kind of testing and combination, then filtering out the plans.
To the materials, this game of combinations represented an enviable step up, a symbol of hope.
Fu Qian thought of the Ring Islands for a moment; relatively speaking, that was certainly more direct and effective, it’s just that the side effect of lowering social acceptance was too conspicuous.
…
Zetian’s communication process clearly went very smoothly.
In less than half an hour, the door was opened again, and Zetian, now looking even more serious, walked in with another staff member.
In the hands of this staff member was a tray holding a transparent tall glass.
The liquid in the glass looked at first glance like a rose sparkling wine, but with a closer look, one could see that it was actually very viscous.
Although the surface shimmered with waves, there was a distinct grainy sensation, as if numerous pomegranate seeds were constantly merging and then tearing apart, while also emitting a faint fishy smell.
Without a doubt, this was the Miracle Elixir, its visual effect indeed magical.
While Fu Qian was commenting internally, Zetian had already gestured for the glass to be placed before him.
“Regulate your breathing and drink it within ten seconds.”
