Really?" Baliya looked at her best friend, her face full of disbelief.
"Really!!" Hani also chimed in. In fact, she just didn't want her friend to misunderstand that she was trying to steal her boyfriend. Weren't there enough best friends who had fallen out over such things?
"Then who lost...?" Baliya asked curiously.
"Before you arrived, it was a tie..." Hani said.
"Alright, let's not play such a boring little game... What do you want to eat tonight, Baliya?" Zhou Ye decisively cut off the topic. If he didn't, all sorts of crazy topics might arise...
"Something light would be good tonight..." Baliya thought for a moment and said. At this point, she had completely let go of her inhibitions in front of Zhou Ye. At noon, she would have been too embarrassed and let Zhou Ye choose himself, but now she was starting to pick her favorite flavors.
For Zhou Ye, this was a good change. "Then let's have porridge..."
"Hey, hey, is my opinion being ignored?" Hani said unhappily.
"Okay, what do you want to eat tonight?" Zhou Ye asked indifferently.
"No sincerity at all..." Hani couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhou Ye. Although she was used to being treated differently when she was with her best friend, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Originally, she wanted to make things difficult for Zhou Ye and order some expensive and greasy dishes, but after thinking about it for a long time, she decided not to go against her own stomach. After all, what she considered expensive dishes might just be side dishes in Zhou Ye's eyes. "Let's have porridge anyway."
"See... what's the difference between asking you and not asking?" Zhou Ye spread his hands...
"Asking is called respect, not asking is called male chauvinism," Hani said unhappily.
"Hahaha... Seeing you guys getting along so well, I'm relieved." Watching her best friend bickering with her boyfriend, Baliya didn't feel jealous at all...
"As if I get along well with him..." Hani couldn't help but mutter. But perhaps it was because of her best friend's personality that she always wanted to protect her from harm...
Dinner was served quickly, just four appetizers plus a bowl of fish porridge for each person. Although the ingredients were relatively simple, the taste was not simple at all... Baliya and Hani exclaimed that it was wonderful.
After dinner, the three of them played motion-sensing games in the game room on the yacht for a while—and then it was time to go to bed.
Originally, according to Zhou Ye's intention, he would have arranged for the two of them to have a guest room each, but at Hani's strong request, he had to change it to the two of them sharing a large guest room.
Chapter 617
"Ye, good night..." Baliya stood by her bedroom door, saying good night to Zhou Ye outside the door.
"Good night... Baliya." Although Zhou Ye said good night, he didn't move his feet.
"Good night..." Baliya was also a little reluctant, but after she said good night, she found that her soon-to-be boyfriend still didn't seem to want to leave, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Ye strangely.
"..." Zhou Ye silently pointed to his lips.
Baliya's face flushed red instantly. She immediately understood what her boyfriend meant. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't bear to. She couldn't help but secretly glanced at her best friend in the room behind her. It seemed that she was rummaging for something and didn't notice her intentions at all. She quickly tiptoed and kissed him... A fleeting touch like a dragonfly skimming the water, and then with a bang, she closed Zhou Ye out of the door.
Zhou Ye smiled and shook his head. Pure girls are the best... Although he had long forgotten the feeling of purity, it didn't stop him from being happy when he saw a pure girl...
Strolling along the corridor in the cabin accommodation area, Zhou Ye casually took out a pair of non-prescription glasses from his pocket and put them on his nose. "- Diji, let me see what the two little cuties are doing now?"
"As you wish, Master." As Diji's voice fell, the scene in Baliya's room was instantly projected onto Zhou Ye's non-prescription glasses, with a 360-degree view... Along with the picture, the sound inside also rang directly in Zhou Ye's ears.
For Zhou Ye, who had absolute authority over the Hand of the Emperor, nothing on this yacht could be hidden from Zhou Ye. Checking Baliya's room was not because Zhou Ye wanted to peek at anything... It was just that he was very curious, how would Hani, who seemed to be full of hostility towards him, break him and Baliya up?
Let us temporarily turn the camera to the two women's room — — — — — —
"Hani... what are you looking for?" Baliya looked at her best friend who was constantly rummaging through the closet and under the window, and asked curiously, "Did you lose something?"
"It's not that I lost something, but that you're about to lose yourself," Hani rolled her eyes at her best friend unhappily.
"What nonsense are you talking about..." Baliya was like a little girl whose thoughts had been exposed, and her whole person was cute.
"What nonsense am I talking about?" Hani was speechless. Her best friend was in a state no different from a girl in love. Is it okay to have money? Okay, she admitted, it was indeed very okay... Is it okay to be handsome? Uh—okay, she had to admit, it was still very okay...
Hani was fair, if Zhou Ye's initial target was her, she was afraid that she would be the same as Baliya at this time... But fortunately, Zhou Ye's target was not her from the beginning, otherwise, I am afraid that no one would expose Zhou Ye's true colors. Expecting her silly, sweet best friend to expose Zhou Ye? Then I am afraid that she would have become an abandoned resentful woman...
"Look... look, what do you look like now..." Hani said,
She grabbed Baliya and pulled her in front of the dressing mirror, pointing at her best friend's lovesick appearance in the mirror and questioning, "You look like you're in love... If I hadn't insisted on staying in the same room with you tonight, I'm afraid you'd wake up tomorrow morning to find one person turned into two in your room..."
"It's not as exaggerated as you say..." Baliya said, but she knew she really couldn't refuse any of Zhou Ye's requests... Especially after they had just met at noon, she was almost taken advantage of by that bad guy. Forget it, I can't talk about this anymore, or Baliya feels like her face is going to burn up. "What were you looking for just now?"
"Looking for evidence of that guy hiding beauties in a golden house..." Hani said without reservation, "You wouldn't naively think that such a rich and handsome man, like a prince, was born just for you, and will only have you as his only woman in his life, right?"
"...I..." Although Hani's words felt a bit harsh, Baliya had to admit that she was also very curious about how many women her soon-to-be boyfriend had been with. "I'll help you look together..."
"That's the attitude to have..." Hani gave a thumbs up, "You go under the window and see if there are any women's underwear or anything left behind... I'll look in the closet."
"Why is my task so much harder than yours?" Baliya said dissatisfiedly, looking at the gap under the window, which was only the size of a palm.
"Because he's your boyfriend, not my boyfriend..." Hani said matter-of-factly.
"Okay..." Hani's words immediately hit Baliya's weak spot. Helplessly, she could only try to lie on the ground and look under the window... But the burden on her chest completely hindered her movement, and she couldn't see the bottom of the window no matter what. "I... I can't do it..."
"Pfft—hahahahaha..." Zhou Ye, who had already returned to his bedroom, almost burst out laughing when he saw this scene. Baliya was too cute...
As for them wanting to find traces left by women? Zhou Ye said that was completely impossible... Although there were more than forty rooms on the ship, under normal circumstances, Nissa and the seven girls would only live in his room. The other rooms had either been turned into cloakrooms or small warehouses for their bags and luxury goods...
As for where the seven girls were now?
Zhou Ye said that this time was right during Paris Fashion Week in autumn and winter, and the seven girls had gone to Paris for a shopping spree as a group... Of course, Zhou Ye would definitely not be at ease if only the seven of them went alone, so he also sent six biochemical maids to them, who could also act as bag carriers and reduce the burden on the seven girls...
The room Zhou Ye arranged for the two girls was a room that had never been lived in before. Not to mention women's personal clothing, they couldn't even find a single strand of hair...
Zhou Ye put on his projection glasses after washing up and went straight to his comfortable big window... He had completely regarded the two girls' actions as a sitcom...
He leaned comfortably against the window sill, watching the two girls rummaging through the room, searching for non-existent traces of women... Not to mention, both of them were quite well-endowed, and basically couldn't lie down under the window...
In the end, Hani came up with a bad idea, and the two of them worked together to try to lift the window to take a look... This almost made Zhou Ye laugh so hard that he lost his breath...
Zhou Ye wouldn't remind them that this was on a yacht, and all the furniture was fixed to the deck... Otherwise, wouldn't things be flying everywhere in a storm?
The two girls, exhausted, finally realized that they were no match for that window... Helplessly, they gave up the stupid act of lifting the window... But, apart from under the window, the two girls searched everywhere else, and Hani didn't find any traces of women...
This made Baliya overjoyed... It seemed that her soon-to-be boyfriend was still a good man who cherished himself.
Uh—this misunderstanding was a bit big.
However, would Hani admit her defeat? Obviously, she was not someone who gave up easily... She had already prepared a second plan, which would definitely expose Zhou Ye's true nature, she was so confident.
Chapter 618
"My Ye, is indeed a good man..." Although Baliya was covered in sweat from exhaustion, her heart was full of sweet feelings... In her opinion, not finding evidence meant that Zhou Ye was indeed not a casual man...
"Wake up..." Hani said, panting, "Not finding evidence only means he's hiding it deep enough, but it doesn't mean he's a good man."
"Hani, why do you have to target Ye..." Baliya was a little dissatisfied, "Although Ye will argue with you, he hasn't offended you..."
"..." Faced with Baliya's question, Hani was a little speechless. Did she want to say it was so that she wouldn't be easily deceived, played with, and then discarded like worn-out shoes? Forget it, Baliya would never believe these words...
Or rather, should she tell Baliya that she had judged her boyfriend to be a playboy who trifled with women based on trivial matters? Then she would definitely be asking for a beating... Maybe, if she said these words, they wouldn't even be friends anymore. In the face of love, women would all become fools...
Balia… trust me, Zhou Ye is definitely an expert…"
"Give me a reason."
"Based on the fact that he would rather let you stay overnight on the yacht than drive you home…" Hani finally found a trace of weakness in Zhou Ye, but, in fact, this weakness didn't mean anything to Balia…
"…I…" Balia had actually figured it out on the way to make the phone call, but she still obediently called her mother and applied for the right to stay out overnight, even using Hani as a cover… To say she didn't know what would happen at night would be underestimating her IQ…
"Give me one last chance… I will prove to you that he is a playboy…" Hani looked at Balia with a serious expression, wanting to make one last desperate gamble…
Balia looked at her best friend. In fact, the two had spent a considerable amount of time together. Although they weren't blood sisters, their relationship definitely far exceeded that of blood sisters… She knew that Hani would never harm her, but on the other hand, there was her soon-to-be boyfriend, and she was a little hesitant…
"One last time… If I lose again this time, then I will apologize to Zhou Ye…" Hani was also going all out.
"Okay…" Balia hesitated for a long time and finally agreed. "How do you want me to cooperate with you?"
"Just come and save me later…"
"Save you?" Balia was a little confused… But soon, she understood what Hani meant…
She saw Hani first wash up and then put on light makeup in front of the mirror… Then, she took off her clothes and changed into a bikini… In fact, this bikini was bought when the two went shopping together, but when Hani went into the water today, she felt it was too revealing, so she didn't wear it and instead wore an ordinary one-piece swimsuit.
"You… you are going to…" Balia was completely stunned… Was Hani going to seduce her soon-to-be boyfriend?
"That's right, I'm going to test him…" Hani said, not waiting for Balia to reply, and pushed open the door and walked out… "If I don't come out after five minutes… then you knock on the door and rescue me…"
"Uh—I… Oh!" Balia's heart was extremely complicated. She didn't know what to say anymore. Emotionally, she felt she should stop Hani… But rationally, she knew that this was the only way…
But the two of them forgot one thing… This was on Zhou Ye's yacht. Even if Hani really threw a meat bun at a dog and never came back, Balia rushing in would only add another bun for Zhou Ye… It would be completely useless.
But Hani, with her blood rushing to her head, had forgotten this, and Balia, with her heart full of complexity, didn't have the time to think about it at all.
On the other side, Zhou Ye, as the object being tested, was already stunned by the two's actions…
Damn it… What's the situation? There's even such an operation? How confident are these two silly women… to ignore where they are? If it were in a public place like a hotel, this kind of strategy could be used without any consequences… After all, there are police uncles around.
But this is on my own yacht. There's no signal on the phone… There's sea all around… How can they use this kind of method to test me in a place where they can't even run away? Do they think I'm really a herbivore?
Just then, his door was knocked on…
Knock, knock, knock—
"Hehe… Interesting, you like jumping into my mouth one by one, I can't always play the good guy, right…" Zhou Ye had already made a decision in his heart, these two girls must be taught a good lesson… Otherwise, their IQ is really worrying.
He jumped down from the window and opened the door. As expected, the one knocking on the door was Hani in a bikini… And in the distance, in the room, Balia was hiding behind the door, looking this way through the slightly opened door seam.
Zhou Ye understood all of this. He smiled and said, "Is there anything I can help you with? Miss Hani, are you missing something? I'll have a maid prepare it for you right away…"
Hani raised her leg high, her jade foot directly against the door, her eyes filled with charm, and said in a somewhat lazy voice, "Won't you invite me in for a sit?"
"…" I give you nine points for this split, not a perfect score because I'm afraid you'll be arrogant… Zhou Ye, who had already planned, smiled slightly, opened the door, and let Hani in.
In fact, Hani's tricks were all learned from TV dramas. When she actually entered Zhou Ye's room, she didn't know what to say… "That… today's dinner was good, huh…"
"…" Zhou Ye was speechless. He originally thought she was a tomboy, but he found out she was still a pure tomboy… Forget it, the game has gone far enough, it's time to reel in the net. "You've been looking for clues about the women around me, haven't you?"
"You… how do you know?" Hani was stunned when she heard Zhou Ye's words. But in the blink of an eye, she reacted. "You have cameras installed in our room?"
"Cough cough… In fact, anything that happens on this yacht, no matter where it is, can't escape my eyes," Zhou Ye said with a smile.
"You actually installed so many cameras…" Hani covered her chest with both hands, looking like she was guarding against fire, theft, and Zhou Ye. "What a pervert…"
"…" Zhou Ye was speechless. This girl's thought process was truly unique. Did he have to explain to her what artificial intelligence was, and then explain what miniature surveillance was? Forget it… "Instead of worrying about those problems, you might as well worry about your own safety…"
"What are you going to do to me? I'm telling you, Singapore's laws are very strict. No matter what your nationality is, committing a crime in Singapore will be severely punished…" Although Honey said it righteously, in fact, her steps were slightly moving towards the door…
Zhou Ye didn't care. The door looked easy to open, but that was because he had the authority. Without him opening it, the door couldn't be opened even with heavy weapons. You have to know, those Umbrella designers designed this yacht according to the standards of a star warship.
"I'm warning you, don't mess around…" Honey secretly rejoiced that Zhou Ye, this big bad guy, didn't notice her escape plan. It wasn't until her hand touched the doorknob that her heart finally settled down. "I will definitely expose your true colors in front of Baliya… Just you wait."
"As you wish…" Zhou Ye smiled and stretched out a hand, making a gesture of invitation.
"Your plan has failed…" Honey said, while turning the doorknob… Uh—awkward—after turning it once, Honey realized that she couldn't turn it at all…
"You're finished, don't even think about toying with Baliya's feelings…" Honey said threateningly, and once again tried to turn the doorknob with force… An even more embarrassing thing happened… Still couldn't turn it… Honey was about to cry, what was going on?
"So, how are you going to expose my true colors when you can't even get out of this room?" Zhou Ye smiled and walked up to Honey, looking at her with interest.
Chapter 619
"Actually, I was just kidding with you…" Honey was about to cry. Wouldn't this be considered her delivering herself to his door?
"Yeah, I believe you…" Zhou Ye nodded solemnly.
"It's great that you can believe me." Honey thought Zhou Ye's IQ was offline, which was great…
"So, what I'm going to do next is also a joke with you, I hope you don't mind." Zhou Ye's words stunned Honey, but she didn't have time to react… because she had already been silenced by Zhou Ye, that's right, it was Zhou Ye's most skilled Zhou-style silencing method.
"Mmm… mmm…" Honey lamented her first kiss while desperately pounding on Zhou Ye's chest, but obviously, her small arms and legs could only be considered a massage for Zhou Ye, and the strength was a bit too light.
Gradually… Honey realized that she was completely unable to control her body. The evidence was—her arms had wrapped around Zhou Ye's neck at some point… If Zhou Ye hadn't let her go, she probably would have already…
Of course, there was a reason why Zhou Ye let her go, because someone was knocking on the door again.
"Honey… Honey, are you in there?" Baliya ran to knock on Zhou Ye's door without even waiting five minutes. No matter what, seeing her best friend dressed so seductively enter her soon-to-be boyfriend's room, she inexplicably felt like she was growing grass on her head.
"Honey… open the door quickly, Ye, I know you're in there, I'm really going to be angry if you don't open the door… I'm really going to be angry, even if you coax me, I won't forgive you…" The more Baliya knocked on the door, the more anxious she became…
Just as she was about to knock on the door again, Zhou Ye's door opened… However, before she could react, an arm stretched out and pulled her into a familiar embrace…
"Ye… Mmm… mmm…" Baliya's words were interrupted by the familiar Zhou-style silencing method…
At first, she Encouragement struggled a bit, but soon, she sadly realized that her struggle was completely useless… In the end, she had to hold Zhou Ye's neck with both hands in order to maintain her balance…
"Baliya… run…" A weak voice finally pulled Baliya, who was about to fall, back.
"Honey… what's wrong with you?" Baliya struggled to break free from Zhou Ye's embrace and turned to look. It was her best friend, but at this moment she looked exhausted, leaning against the carpet on the wall.
"Zhou Ye… is a bad person… run, Baliya…" Honey still felt weak all over… What just happened to her was a bit too… cough cough.
"Ye, is this true? Is what Honey said true?" Baliya, upon hearing her best friend's words, didn't turn around and run, but turned to question her soon-to-be boyfriend…
"That depends on which angle you look at me from…" Zhou Ye smiled slightly. If he hadn't let go just now, Baliya would have been exhausted and unable to break free from his embrace.
"Don't listen to his sophistry… run, Baliya…" Honey was still urging her best friend, but obviously, Baliya would never give up until she got an answer from Zhou Ye.
"For example?" Baliya stared intently at Zhou Ye's eyes, seemingly wanting to see something from them… But in fact, she couldn't see anything, she just felt like she was increasingly wanting to sink into those eyes.
My enemies call me an executioner… a killing monster… a tyrant… the Prince of the Night…" Zhou Ye said leisurely, "But my women like to call me, dear, husband, Ye Lang… my man…"
"Your women?" Bariya didn't care at all about the previous titles. The only word she cared about was [My women].
"That's right, my women…" Zhou Ye admitted without hesitation. He felt there was nothing to hide, anyway, Bariya would find out sooner or later…
"…Okay…" Bariya felt a little difficulty breathing… "Can, can you tell me… how many women do you have?"
"…" Zhou Ye was silent.
This made Bariya couldn't help but rekindle a glimmer of hope again. "Could it be that you are also embarrassed? Come on, tell me, how many women are there? I can handle it…"
"Uh—actually…" Zhou Ye said embarrassedly, "There are a few too many, I'm still counting…"
Bariya was almost amused by anger… "Then you still come to provoke me… you still kiss me… you liar…"
In this situation, what should I do? Uh—Zhou Ye doesn't know about others, anyway, he has always used Zhou's silencing method…
Bariya, whose mouth was blocked, went from struggling hard to struggling slightly, from struggling slightly to unconsciously hugging Zhou Ye again… Finally, Bariya completely calmed down…
"Actually, I also have my difficulties…" Zhou Ye whispered in Bariya's ear.
"What difficulties do you have, you liar…" Although Bariya said it decisively, her attitude couldn't help but soften. In fact, she also wanted to find a reason to forgive Zhou Ye…
"Soon, you will know…" Zhou Ye said and once again used his Zhou's silencing method, but this time he wouldn't stop midway… As Zhou's silencing method was used… the gap between the two became smaller and smaller. Finally, with a cry of pain, the two reached the realm of you in me and me in you.
Honey was completely stunned… Have these two forgotten that she is still here? They actually just…
However, two hours later, something even more devastating happened to her… Her best friend actually betrayed her. "Honey… I really can't anymore, I understand your difficulties… Go find Honey… spare me…"
However, this bastard Zhou Ye actually listened so obediently and ran to find herself… Honey really had a feeling of wanting to curse.
But soon, she understood her best friend's difficulties… This… this guy is not human.
A night without words — — — — — —
The next day, Zhou Ye really fulfilled his promise, accompanying the two women to watch the sunrise… Uh, although it was on the bed, it was still considered watching the sunrise, wasn't it?
The two women nestled obediently in Zhou Ye's arms, one on the left and one on the right, watching the sunrise slowly climb out of the sea, feeling refreshed… As for Zhou Ye, he was already tired of watching the sunrise at sea, he was looking at the two proudly blooming red plums on the bed…
"I'm so stupid… Why did I come up with this idea?" Honey rested her head on Zhou Ye's arm, looking regretful.
"Don't say it…" Bariya persuaded, "You were even more crazy than me later…"
"Pa—!" Zhou Ye slapped Honey unceremoniously on the thickest part of her flesh. "Regret it?"
"Regret… I regret not rushing up sooner…" Honey said, arching her little head into Zhou Ye's arms, "I should have been the first one…"
"Honey… No wonder you wanted to do this, so you had such a plan…" Bariya certainly knew that her best friend was joking. She also pounced on her, and the two of them made a mess.
Chapter 620
Marvel World—Hydra's Arctic Secret Base.
"Darling… No…" Just as Ophelia knelt weakly on the ground, looking blankly at the place where her man had just disappeared, she was about to collapse…
At this moment, a familiar golden circular portal slowly opened with a spin…
"Darling??" Ophelia's spirit was shaken, and she was instantly rejuvenated as if she had been given a shot of stimulant, and the sadness on her face was swept away… The other women behind her, including Xiao Li and Zhao Hailun, also widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the portal that was slowly opening.
The opening of the portal was actually very fast, but in the eyes of the women, time seemed to be infinitely stretched, and they always felt that the portal was opening so slowly… so slowly that they couldn't wait to rush over and tear the portal open with their own hands… Fortunately, they still had reason, knowing that they couldn't tear that thing open.
When the portal was fully opened, the women couldn't help but hold their breath, staring fixedly at the exit of the portal, each silently chanting a name in their hearts. "Ye… It must be Ye… Ye must be safe and sound."
However, to their disappointment, the first person to walk out of the portal was not the figure of the person they knew and loved deeply, but a beautiful girl with dimples…
After the girl walked out of the portal, she was also a little confused. After all, this kind of scene change was still a bit unaccustomed to her. After shaking her head, she noticed the women in front of her, some standing and some sitting, "Hello everyone… I'm Nissa…"
"Stop talking nonsense…" Ophelia jumped up and rushed to her at a speed that Nissa couldn't imagine, grabbing her shoulders tightly. If it were usual, Ophelia would never do it
To make such a rude move, after all, she was Zhou Ye's proudest daughter with perfect ladylike demeanor, but now? With Zhou Ye's life or death unknown, she had long abandoned that ladylike demeanor to the back of her mind, she is now only concerned with one thing. "Where is Ye?"
"Ah--!" Niesha was just an ordinary daughter after all, when had she ever seen such a thing, in her eyes, this beautiful blonde woman appeared in front of her in an instant, and the two hands grabbing her shoulders were like iron tongs. Niesha was already frightened by Ophelia... …
Fortunately, at this moment, Ying Yi walked over and gently patted Niesha's hand, signaling her to relax. "Don't be like this, Ophelia... …Since she came out of the dear portal, then she is definitely also our sister... …Still has the energy to pick up girls, which means that bad guy is fine... …"
"I... …" Ophelia knew that Xiao Ying was right... …Moreover, she was indeed a little too excited... …But, without seeing Zhou Ye, even if she knew that with his ability, absolutely few people could hurt him, she still felt a little worried... … "Niesha, right? Sorry, I was a little too excited just now... …"
"N-nothing... …" Niesha was really frightened, but seeing Ophelia apologize to her, she still responded: "I can understand your feelings... …If I leave that bad guy for too long, I will miss him so much that I can't stand it... …But don't worry, he is at the very back, saying that he will come back after all the sisters have passed through."
"All the sisters? ?" After Ophelia and Ying Yi, Zhao Hailun, Xiaoli and the other women looked at each other, they exchanged a message.
[We are worried to death here, this bastard is actually fooling around outside, we must teach him a good lesson.]
[How to teach him a lesson? Can you beat him?]
[Prick him dry... …]
[Stop joking... …I'm afraid the person who surrenders first will be you.]
… … … … … …
… … … … … … … … … …
Just as the women were exchanging glances, several more girls walked out one after another... …Ophelia took a look, well, it seems that her man is ensuring his hunting range, there are loli and mature women... …Roughly counting, there are as many as nine... …And at first glance, they are all girls with Indian descent.
Then, Jinny, Jiagu, Mrs. Mehera, Piya, Sima, Ratika, Balia and Hani, who came out of the teleportation gate later, naturally gathered around Niesha, who was the first to come out, after all, relatively speaking, they were more familiar with Niesha.
On the other side, in the team led by Ophelia and supported by Ying Yi, there were the Xiaoli four-person combination and Zhao Hailun and other women... …Although there were fewer people, Ophelia's aura was not ordinary at all... …After all, commanding Hydra for so long, that superior's temperament cannot be faked, it is full of pressure... ….
Just when the atmosphere between the two sides was very awkward... …Suddenly, a voice that both sides were very familiar with came over. "Are you lining up to welcome me back?"
"Dear... …" xn
Hearing this voice, the women on both sides couldn't help but their eyes lit up... …A feeling that their backer had arrived filled their hearts, some of them shouted dear, some shouted Ye, and looked in the direction of the voice.
The person who was smiling and standing there, who else could it be but Zhou Ye?
Ophelia rushed over with lightning speed, jumped into Zhou Ye's arms, without any words, just holding her man's cheeks with both hands, looking intently... …After confirming that Zhou Ye had no scars on his body, she hugged Zhou Ye's neck tightly. "Daddy... …I miss you so much... …You scared me to death... …I thought I was going to lose you... …Daddy, welcome home."
"Daddy... …?" Niesha and the other women had a feeling of incomprehension, in their opinion, Ophelia should be their man's woman, but why would she call him... …this title? Obviously, how could Zhou Ye expose his shortcomings and tell them his dark history?
"Ugh ugh... …" Ophelia turned all her worries into a kiss, blocking Zhou Ye's mouth tightly.
But soon, she was no longer satisfied with just kissing... …She tore at Zhou Ye's clothes like crazy... …Soon, an R-rated scene was staged in front of the women... …
Ying Yi did not stop Ophelia, she knew how Ophelia felt when she saw her man disappear in front of her eyes with the space gem, because she felt the same way... …In fact, she only did one thing... …Let her subordinate Shadow Guard troops block the entire underground test site... …
Then she walked over leisurely... …Well, she is consciously queuing... …Zhao Hailun and the other women also walked over obediently, those who have not experienced that kind of scene will not know that kind of despair, they urgently need their man to gallop wantonly on their bodies to prove their sense of existence.
On the other side, the Indian team that had just arrived was completely dumbfounded... …What is the situation? However, soon, they were dragged into this hysterical activity... …This can be regarded as a different kind of welcome party, right... …
Chapter 621
Switzerland — Bern.
Maya Hansen is a computer expert, but after an accidental incident, she began to abandon her major in university and instead specialized in biology, wanting to integrate the two... which is the so-called biological gene coding.
She wanted to invent a biological gene that would allow people to regenerate limbs like a gecko. When she announced this idea to the public, she didn't receive praise, but a chorus of doubts...
In fact, no one was optimistic about her project, whether it was her former friends or the bigwigs who occupied a place in the biological academic circle. The only comment they gave Maya was: "Daydreaming."
But none of this shook Maya Hansen's determination. She plunged into the ocean of biology, like a crazy sponge, absorbing all kinds of biological knowledge.
When she had no money, she used her previous expertise on the Internet to earn some living expenses...
However, obviously, her efforts were a drop in the bucket compared to the funding required for academic research... Not to mention, just the initial establishment of a small biological laboratory was enough to drain all her savings and leave her in debt...
But it was also good that she gained more than just ridicule and doubt. Occasionally, some like-minded people would contact her through the email address she left on the biology forum and have some academic exchanges with her, which made her feel that although the road ahead was bumpy, she was not alone... Among her like-minded friends, the one she valued most was a genius from the Great Han Ming Kingdom she met on a biology forum, Zhao Hailun.
When Maya Hansen learned that Zhao Hailun wanted to achieve something in biology, she recommended Umbrella to Zhao Hailun and told her that getting good grades in the Umbrella High School Alliance assessment would allow her to be admitted without examination... Of course, admission without examination was only one thing. Maya Hansen pointed out to Zhao Hailun that the organization that truly led global technology in the world now was not the mysterious African country of Wakanda, nor the Inhuman country of Attilan, but the Umbrella Corporation, which was inconspicuous but lurking around the world like a prehistoric giant crocodile.
Today is the seventh day of Umbrella's assessment at Seoul University... It's almost time to announce the list of selected candidates, Maya Hansen thought, while pushing her shopping cart through the supermarket shelves for a routine shopping trip.
What about scientists? Although scientists often forget to eat and sleep in their research, it doesn't mean they don't need to eat...
"Hmm—green beans, these can be added." Maya said, while throwing a bag of vacuum-packed American green beans into her shopping cart, which was already piled up like a small mountain.
Looking at her shopping cart, which seemed to be protesting with creaks and groans because it was overwhelmed, Maya could only give up the idea of continuing to buy. Although she couldn't wait to buy a year's worth of food in one go, so that she would never have to go out again and could conduct her research at home, it was obviously impossible. Not to mention whether she had so much money, just her small refrigerator wouldn't allow it... This is really a sad story.
"Miss Hansen, you're buying so much again..." The cashier at the supermarket shook her head when she saw the thin Maya Hansen struggling to push her shopping cart, which was piled up like a small mountain, and ran over to help her push the cart to the checkout counter.
"It's rare to come out once, so..." Maya Hansen smiled a little embarrassedly, because she often shopped in this supermarket. Although she always came about once a month, she always bought so many things each time, and every cashier in the supermarket had already recognized her. After all, it took a long time just to calculate the bill for a cart of things...
"A dozen disposable underwear... a large bottle of salad..." The cashier shook her head helplessly and began to count the goods on Maya Hansen's cart. In her mind, Maya Hansen had probably been labeled as a weirdo.
Looking at the cashier's strange eyes and the disapproving attitude, how could Maya Hansen not know what she was thinking? ... But, it doesn't matter, she's already used to such things anyway.
And at this moment—in Maya Hansen's apartment...
An uninvited guest...
"I really can't tell this is a girl's room..." Zhou Ye frowned as he looked at the 50-square-meter one-bedroom apartment in front of him...
This is a very classic one-bedroom apartment. The sofa in the living room is full of clothes that are indistinguishable as to whether they are clean or not. Next to the sofa are a few ornamental plants... Next to the living room is a computer, the power of the computer is still on, the door of the inner bedroom is open, and the quilt on the tatami is messily thrown on top, basically it can be said to be a mess.
"Master, please wait a moment, this place will be cleaned up in a moment." A figure wearing a black and white maid outfit appeared directly behind Zhou Ye... It was Zhou Ye's personal little maid, Qiu.
"Qiu... Didn't I ask you and Zi to wait downstairs?" Zhou Ye said helplessly.
"That won't do, Master. Given that you have often made us worry recently, the head maid has raised your security level to the highest level..." As the voice fell, a maid with purple hair appeared next to Qiu. It was Zi, who Zhou Ye had left downstairs.
"Am I not okay?" Zhou Ye was speechless. If something happened to him, what could they do by his side?
"Could it be that Master... you have the heart to let us be scolded by the head maid?" Qiu said, her big beautiful eyes filled with tears, with the posture of crying for you if she disagreed... They
They knew their master Zhou Ye too well. If you reasoned with him, he would play rogue with you. If you played rogue with him, he would be even more rogue... Only tears were the only way to subdue him.
"Okay, okay, do as you please..." Zhou Ye sat on the computer chair speechlessly.
This was also something that couldn't be helped. Since he returned, Ophelia directly reported the matter of him almost being stranded in another world to their sister alliance, which was like stirring up a hornet's nest...
Whether it was the Medusa sisters or the Carter nieces, whether it was the Ancient One or the Nova Supreme mother and daughter... They all agreed that the security forces around their own men must be strengthened. Ying Yi alone was not enough, and even the most obedient Pandora did not stand on the same front with him this time.
And Hela, who was pregnant, even used the excuse of [I don't want my daughter to have no father] to force Zhou Ye to accept the protection measures arranged by the six head maids...
Zhou Ye could only obediently listen. Zhou Ye could fool one woman with rogue behavior... When all the women were united, Zhou Ye had to... There was no way, besides, this was also for his women's good...
Don't be fooled by the fact that Zhou Ye only has two maids by his side now. This is already after Zhou Ye used all sorts of rogue tactics to reduce the number... …
According to the arrangement of the six head maids, he would have no less than a combat team of battle maids by his side at all times. How many people are in a combat team? Uh, only a hundred people... This is just the close-quarters formation. The surrounding Shadow Guard force has more than a thousand people. Of course, although the personal maid team has now become a personal maid group, the surrounding Shadow Guard force has not been reduced at all, but has actually increased quite a bit.
Even so, he is already very satisfied. Otherwise, just imagining the feeling of being watched by a hundred maids no matter what he does makes him feel a little shudder. Just as Zhou Ye was sitting in his computer chair contemplating life, Qiu and Zi had already cleaned the entire room spotlessly... …
"Amazing..." Zhou Ye couldn't help but admire his two personal little maids who were bursting with feminine power. This cleaning speed is unmatched.
"Then you didn't even want to bring us along at first..." Qiu said with a aggrieved look.
"That's right, Master, it's so good for you to bring us along. We can cook, clean, and even..." As Zi spoke, the feminine charm in her eyes was about to drown Zhou Ye completely... The slightly sheepish voice almost made Zhou Ye... "Even if you want to do something bad, we'll help you hold down her hands and feet."
Pfft—Only my own maids could say such shameless words. But there's no way around it. Starting with the six head maids, my maid team has already been led astray... Zhou Ye sighed helplessly, but such maids... are really good.
"Come—" Zhou Ye said, patting his lap. Qiu and Zi exchanged glances, their faces showing joy. They happily pounced over and sat obediently on either side, giving him kisses... …
There must be punishment for wrongdoing, and rewards for merit... Zhou Ye put his arms around the two girls and kissed them each. Qiu and Zi's eyebrows were almost turning into a line with happiness. For them, being able to strive for the task of staying by their master's side was simply too good... …
Chapter 622
Maya Hansen used all her strength to move all the items on the shopping cart into the trunk of her car. After casually closing the trunk, she pushed the now-empty shopping cart to the corner of the parking lot specifically for placing empty shopping carts, and returned to her car again.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Maya Hansen casually took off her heavy down jacket and threw it onto the passenger seat next to her. Although the outside temperature had already reached below zero, thanks to the fact that she had already started the car and turned on the heating system when she was moving the items on the shopping cart, the temperature inside the car was still very high.
Rubbing her small hands, which were a little red from the cold, and feeling that her small hands had regained some warmth, Maya skillfully put the car in gear, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards her apartment... …
Although there were a lot of daily necessities to move at once, she was already used to it as she lived alone. The thing that was giving her the biggest headache now was her biological laboratory... …
Her small biological laboratory definitely couldn't be built in her apartment, so she rented a small farm on the outskirts of Bern. In fact, the farm was only less than ten acres in size, but its rent was very cheap, which was the most important thing for Maya, who had been a little short on cash recently.
Her small biological laboratory was built in the warehouse of that small farm. At present, it has already taken shape, but... in the end, it's still money. Without money, as long as it involves experimental equipment, it involves high-precision machines, and these things are precisely the most expensive... Maya Hansen was already considering whether she should temporarily stop her research and take on a few small programming jobs online to earn some money... …
Time slipped away minute by minute in Maya Hansen's entanglement. Although it's easy to have traffic accidents while driving and thinking, fortunately, there weren't many people driving on the streets on this not-so-good weather day, so Maya was able to get home safely.
The supermarket was not far from Maya's apartment, only two blocks away. Maya's car quickly drove into the parking lot downstairs of her apartment building.
Getting out of the car, Maya opened the trunk... After sorting it out for a long time, Maya embarrassedly discovered that she couldn't carry all of her spoils back at once... …
"It seems I can only come down twice more..." Maya, whose hands were already full of plastic bags, helplessly closed the trunk and walked into the elevator of her apartment building... …
Ding—The elevator stopped on the tenth floor.
Maya resignedly picked up the shopping bags in the elevator and walked out of the elevator, walking unsteadily to the door of her apartment. Maya took out her key and opened the door to the room... …
"Sorry... I went to the wrong place..." After Maya pushed open the door, the first thing she saw was a handsome blond young man hugging two beautiful girls in maid outfits in the clean and tidy small living room... She habitually apologized and then backed out... She also closed the room door behind her.
"Wait..." Just as Maya was about to pick up the shopping bags on the ground, she suddenly realized something, that was, her room, although it looked so clean and tidy that she almost couldn't recognize it, but... that familiar layout was definitely her room.
"Who are you?" Maya pushed the door open unceremoniously. She couldn't care about her handbags anymore. Even her own lair had been invaded, so how could she care about those material possessions?
"..." Zhou Ye looked amusedly at this silly girl who walked into his house, apologized to him, the invader, with a dazed look, and then walked out of his house. He was about to die of laughter... …
To be honest, in a sense, Zhou Ye didn't hate this silly girl. She was just a scientific researcher who wholeheartedly explored the unknown, it was just that her research was being used by others... The original intention of creating the Extremis virus was just to allow those disabled people to live a normal life through regeneration, just like normal people.
Just like the scientists who invented rockets initially only wanted to explore the mysteries of the universe, she was also just a pure biological explorer.
"Let's get acquainted... My name is Zhou Ye." Zhou Ye smiled, let go of his two personal maids, stood up, walked to Maya, and extended his right hand.
I don't care who you are, I just want to know why you illegally broke into my apartment," Maya said, tilting her head up, furious.
In fact, Maya Hansen, who was a little over 1.7 meters tall, looked quite amusing as she bared her fangs and brandished her claws in front of Zhou Ye, who was a full 1.9 meters tall.
"Actually…" Zhou Ye hadn't finished speaking when Maya Hansen rushed over, trying to push Zhou Ye, who was blocking her path, away… But after several attempts, she sadly realized that she was wasting her energy… She couldn't even make Zhou Ye budge an inch.
Helpless, Maya Hansen could only go around Zhou Ye and rush to her computer, directly searching to see if the important documents she had recorded had been tampered with. This was the most important thing to her.
After reviewing the records on her computer, Maya Hansen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, what she was worried about hadn't happened… Only then did she feel like sitting down, turning to face Zhou Ye and saying, "You can talk now… I'll give you one minute to convince me, otherwise you can wait for the police to invite you for coffee…"
"Interesting." Zhou Ye smiled. He hadn't seen such an aggressive little girl in a long time… "Actually, originally, it was just to invite you to join my company…"
"Your company? Which company are you from…" Maya Hansen had long had the idea of absorbing external funding. After all, it was a bit too difficult for her to build a qualified biological laboratory on her own. She was just a biologist who had switched careers halfway, not a rich second generation…
"Those aren't important anymore…" Zhou Ye smiled slightly, "Because I've changed my mind now…"
"Are you playing with me?" Maya was very happy when she heard that a major investor wanted to invest in her project, but Zhou Ye's change of heart made her depressed…
"No need." Zhou Ye said, walking step by step towards Maya… His height gave Maya a great sense of oppression. "Because I think it's too unsafe to sign you into my company… Women are too emotional, who knows when you'll suddenly go back on your word, which will cause me huge losses…"
"In that case, please leave…" Maya felt like she was being played like a fool, saying he wanted to invite her one moment and then going back on his word the next… This guy was like a child.
Chapter 623
The two maids stood behind their master, watching Zhou Ye tease the little girl… It had to be said, it was quite interesting.
"Why?" Zhou Ye spread his hands, making an innocent look, in fact, he was just being cheeky.
"Since you've already changed your mind, then what are you still doing here? Are you going to romance me?" Maya said sarcastically. She was too lazy to pursue Zhou Ye's illegal intrusion into her residence.
First, Zhou Ye didn't look like a thief. Have you ever seen a thief who helps the owner clean the room?
Second, she was already angered by Zhou Ye. What do you mean women are too emotional? What do you mean go back on your word? Was he belittling women? What do you mean it will cause him huge losses… He underestimated her too much.
"Oh? How did you know?" Zhou Ye looked surprised, almost making Maya laugh out of anger.
"First, I'm not as pretty as the two little girls behind you, so don't say such deceptive things…" Maya stood up and pointed her finger at Zhou Ye's chest without any politeness, "Second, even if I overestimate myself and think I'm as beautiful as a fairy, I don't think I'll attract the interest of a playboy… Moreover, what I hate the most is a playboy like you…"
"Oh? What kind of type do you like?" Zhou Ye smiled, smiling dangerously.
"I like someone who can have a common language with me… For example, someone who also likes biology, or a genius who has his own unique insights in a certain research… In short, not a useless playboy like you who has nothing but good looks…" Maya became more and more excited, and her whole body was almost pressed against Zhou Ye's chest…
"Woman, you're a bit too arrogant…" Zhou Ye smiled even more dangerously. "Didn't your mother tell you?"
"What?" Maya asked, tilting her head, her face cold.
"Don't get too close to a dangerous man." Zhou Ye said, lowering his head and blocking Maya's mouth.
"Mmm… … …" Maya was in a daze, what was going on? This guy actually… … … However, she didn't have time to think anymore, because Zhou Ye had already pried open her teeth…
"Bastard… How can you… Hey, there are still people here, aren't you going to pay attention to the feelings of the two girls behind you?"
"It's okay, don't mind us, we are the master's shadows… Please ignore us."
"Qiu, Zi, come help me hold this little girl down… I'm afraid I'll hurt her."
"Hey… Hey… You're not really going to help this guy, are you… Don't take it off… If I said something wrong just now, I apologize… Don't do this… You're committing a crime…"
"There's no way, we can't disobey the master's orders, otherwise we'll be severely punished when we go back…"
"This is rape… You're still young, don't do this… Hey…"
"It's okay, I don't mind you calling the police after it's over… Really."
"Ah—, bastard—"
"Sorry, sorry… I didn't expect you to still be… I'll be gentler…"
"Bastard… …
Wuwu… …"
In the room, Maya's weeping gradually subsided… …replaced by waves of fantasy-inducing sounds.
Two hours later — — — — — —
"Bastard, couldn't you be a little gentler?" Maya nestled in Zhou Ye's arms, resentfully wanting to leave her tooth marks on Zhou Ye, but in reality, this was an extremely difficult task… …After many attempts, she had to give up on this unrealistic idea.
As for suing Zhou Ye? Don't be silly… …Was Zhou Ye's Spring Breeze Rain Transformation Technique practiced in vain?
Zhou Ye came here really with the idea of taking Maya down… …It can be said that Maya can also be considered a very talented scientist. Now Zhou Ye already has Zhao Hailun and Nina by his side… …How could he possibly let Maya go? Although her looks are only above average, but… …her intelligence is a big plus.
"Have you never had a boyfriend before?" Zhou Ye really didn't expect Maya to be… …ahem, this is really a surprise.
"Have a boyfriend? My time for research and study is already running out… …Where would I have time to have a boyfriend… …" Maya rested her head on Zhou Ye's arm, curling up her whole body in Zhou Ye's arms, and murmured, "But now I find that having a boyfriend seems to be a good choice, the negative emotions accumulated recently due to unsuccessful research have disappeared… …"
"Alright, I'll set up a biological laboratory headed by you later… …No need to rush with the research." Zhou Ye comforted her.
"Wait, you haven't told me which company you're from yet… …" Maya only remembered when she heard Zhou Ye say this that this guy's original pretense was to invite her to join the company.
"Umbrella… …" Zhou Ye smiled and uttered the name of a conglomerate, instantly stunning Maya.
She originally thought that her man was just a rich second-generation heir of a medium-sized biotechnology company, but… …it turned out to be Umbrella, this giant crocodile hidden in the world's pond… …
"Are you really from the Umbrella Corporation? Will I really have my own research team and biological laboratory?" Maya was so excited that she almost lost herself… …
"That's right… …" Zhou Ye smiled, the founder of the Extremis virus was worth his effort.
"Oh my god… …I'm so happy… …No… …I'm already… …Oh my god… …" Maya was already incoherently happy. In her opinion, Zhou Ye's decision was more touching than any sweet words… …She turned over and mounted him, this place should have the Valkyrie's Ride BGM.
But the reality was… …Maya Hansen, it was her first time, and she only managed to complete the battle against the Great Demon King with the help of Zhou Ye's two maids, and this time, her reinforcements had fallen asleep… …No one could help her… …So, she paid a heavy price for her actions.
These days, Zhou Ye accompanied Maya Hansen to play in Switzerland for a few days, and the laboratory promised to Maya Hansen had already started operating. After all, there were too many biological laboratories under Umbrella. It was an extremely difficult task for Maya Hansen, but for Zhou Ye, it was just a matter of casually finding a laboratory that was not very important and changing the research project… …The venue, equipment, and personnel were all ready-made.
Finally, on the seventh day, the unbearable Maya Hansen drove Zhou Ye away… …Who told this guy to be too animalistic? Even with the help of two maids, Maya still felt powerless.
Of course, when Zhou Ye left, he also left Maya with the standard equipment that every woman of his must have, a space bracelet, a watch-style personal terminal… …plus an Umbrella unlimited black card.
For Maya, although the space bracelet surprised her, what she was most interested in was indeed the personal terminal, not because of the high-endness of the personal terminal, but because of the things on the sisters' forum in the Umbrella internal network linked by the terminal, especially some academic papers by Nina Stark… …
This made her feel like she had found a confidante, and she began to contact Nina. Nina's genius plus her creativity, uh, of course, plus Zhao Hailun… …These three high-IQ girls have formed a small discussion group, reporting their research progress to each other… …
This was of course also something that Zhou Ye was happy to see.
Chapter 624
Since Zhou Ye settled the creator of the Extremis virus, Maya, he returned to the world of the dead again, quietly waiting for the birth of his daughter… …Accompanying his child's mother, Hela, every day, walking around and looking around… …
"Darling, it's really too good to have met you… …" Hela leaned in her man's arms, looking at the giant castle rising from the ground in front of her, her beautiful big eyes full of happiness.
"I should thank that teleportation accident for bringing me here… …" Zhou Ye smiled and put his arm around Hela, who was already heavily pregnant. This was already the eighth year of his daughter's pregnancy, and Hela's belly had already risen. Although her movements were a bit inconvenient, Hela didn't care at all, and her whole face was filled with maternal radiance.
And the castle that Zhou Ye prepared for his daughter is also nearing completion. Originally, according to Umbrella Corporation's construction schedule, it should have been finished long ago, but you can't stop Zhou Ye's women from nitpicking... One moment they'd say the fountain here should be bigger, the next they'd say a garden should be added... The entire castle was almost unrecognizable because of them.
However, generally speaking, the main structure was preserved, and the modifications were only small changes.
Even so, the chief engineer in charge of the entire project was tormented to the point of having a full head of white hair. If Zhou Ye hadn't finally stepped in and said that no more modifications were allowed, who knows what other trouble those girls would have caused.
"Angelina, baby, the gift your daddy prepared for you is almost finished..." Zhou Ye carefully squatted down in front of Hela and pressed his head against Hela's big belly, chatting happily with his unborn daughter. "Come out quickly. When the time comes, Daddy will take you to see the most beautiful scenery and eat the most delicious food... Daddy will take you to see the most magnificent nebulae in the universe... Take you shopping at the most prosperous commercial stars..."
"Daughter kicked me..." Hela hugged Zhou Ye's head and said with a smile, "If you keep tempting our daughter, maybe our baby will really be born early. If she's premature..."
Hela's words startled Zhou Ye. He didn't want his precious daughter to be born prematurely, as that would be bad for the fetus's development. "Really?"
"Haha... Honey, you get scared too..." It was rare for Hela to see her man with such an expression. It was too much fun... Or rather, Zhou Ye had always been calm and composed in front of them, as if nothing in the world could stump him. When had she ever seen him so nervous?
"You dare to scare me? It seems you've forgotten the Zhou family's rules, Hela..." Zhou Ye understood that he was being played by his child's mother when he saw Hela's smiling face.
"Come on, who's afraid of who? Anyway, the one who's going to suffer in the end definitely isn't me..." Hela glanced at her man with seductive eyes. In fact, although not as frequently as before, she had been intimate with Zhou Ye quite a bit recently, but Zhou Ye had to be gentle because he was concerned about his unborn little princess... As a result, Hela was satisfied, but Zhou Ye himself was feeling frustrated.
"Wait until our Angelina is born... Hmph, hmph, hmph..." Zhou Ye threatened unwillingly, but right now, he really couldn't do anything to his child's mother...
"Waiting for you!" Hela wasn't worried at all... Anyway, there were still two years left.
This really made Zhou Ye feel depressed... He made up his mind that once his daughter was born... he would definitely educate this Hela who was using their daughter to order him around.
"Master, Miss Betty has asked you to return to her place..."
Just as Zhou Ye and Hela were playfully bickering, a maid walked up to Zhou Ye and said in a low voice.
"Hmm? Did she say what it was about?" Zhou Ye asked curiously.
"No, but... she's urging you urgently," the maid replied respectfully.
"Go ahead, darling... After all, I've monopolized you for so long..." Hela was very open-minded. After all, she had used the little baby in her belly to keep her man in the world of death for several years, and none of the other sisters had said anything. They even changed the location of their weekly gatherings to this world. Of course, Hela had to return the favor. Besides, she also knew that being overly spoiled and arrogant would cause a backlash from the other women. No matter how confident she was, she didn't feel that she could win against the combined forces of all her sisters.
"Okay, I'm going. Be careful and don't get tired..." Zhou Ye nodded, directly opened a portal, and walked out.
California - Berkeley.
Berkeley is a city in the hills on the east shore of San Francisco Bay in California, belonging to Alameda County, and is home to the world-renowned University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley).
At this moment, in Berkeley, in the living room of a two-story villa, Betty Ross was chatting with her best friend and close comrade-in-arms, Susan, with a look of frustration.
"What should I do, Susan... Dad insists that I join his research institute..."
"Why?" Susan wasn't worried at all. Anyway, she had already notified her man. This was his problem to worry about.
"He said I don't have a boyfriend at my age..." Betty looked helpless. She had graduated from school three or four years ago, but instead of joining her father, General Ross's, research institute as in the original story, she directly entered a physics research institute under the Umbrella Corporation with her best friend Susan... After all, it was her own family's research institute.
"So... he's forcing you to get married? Or rather, he wants to introduce you to the young talents in his research institute?" Susan almost couldn't stand up straight from laughing... Fortunately, her parents had met Zhou Ye and knew about their relationship... so no one was forcing her to get married.
"You're still laughing?" Betty felt like she was about to die of anxiety. This unscrupulous best friend was gloating. "I'm not going to his research institute..."
"Who wants to go to which research institute?" A familiar voice came.
"Darling!!!" The two women instantly had smiles on their faces. They quickly jumped up and pounced on the figure who had just walked out of the portal... It was Zhou Ye who had just arrived.
Zhou Ye put his arms around the two women, kissed each of them, and then directly carried them to the sofa and sat down. "What happened? You called me over so urgently, Betty."
"It's still my dad..." Betty
looked frustrated and told him about her father forcing her to work in his research institute...
"Interesting..." Zhou Ye stroked his chin. He had already intercepted Betty halfway, but Betty's father was still forcing her to go to the research institute. Could this be the legendary inertia of the plot?
"Okay, Betty, honey, don't worry... I'll have a good talk with your father, General Ross..." Zhou Ye said, gently patting Betty's back to soothe her emotions.
"Mmm..." Betty happily nodded her little head.
But then, she looked at her man with some worry, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Betty, honey?" Zhou Ye asked strangely.
"Could you not use those extreme measures, darling...?" Betty hadn't spent these years at Umbrella for nothing. She knew more or less how this terrifying behemoth under her man's command operated. It was true that those who obeyed would prosper, and those who resisted would perish.
What kidnapping and assassination? That was too childish; they stopped using it long ago... They only used one method to deal with those who disobeyed them, which was [Recycling], which was re-creation... Erasing the traces of that person's existence in every sense, and replacing them with a clone...
This kind of hidden method couldn't be investigated. Who could know if this was a natural person or a clone? No one knew except Umbrella...
"Don't worry... Betty, honey, I'll reason with him properly..." Zhou Ye naturally knew what Betty was worried about. Obviously, it was unnecessary. He didn't need to fall out with General Ross...
"Okay, thank you, darling..." Betty naturally believed her man's words. He always did what he said, at least when it came to his own woman...
"Then let's do it tonight. I'll go with you to visit General Ross tonight," Zhou Ye said with a smile.
"Okay, darling..." Betty jumped up happily to call her father. Although the relationship between the father and daughter was strained, Betty ultimately didn't want her man to have any conflicts with her father.
Chapter 625
"Uncle Ross, am I being disrespectful wearing this...?" A blond man in a blue Air Force dress uniform sat uneasily at the dining table, asking General Ross, who was sitting next to him.
"Don't worry, you're a good young man, I know that, and I believe Betty will make a wise choice," General Ross said with a smile, patting him on the shoulder...
Glenn Talbot was the son of General Ross's friend, an active-duty soldier in the US military, and currently the Security Director of the Gamma Base under General Ross's responsibility. In Ross's view, the son of this well-known old friend was definitely tens of thousands of times better than his daughter's boyfriend, whom she had known since college.
That's right, General Ross brought Glenn along this time with the intention of making his daughter abandon her current boyfriend. In his opinion, Glenn was both handsome and talented. Most commendable was that he was already a Colonel Security Director of the base at just over thirty years old, which could be described as young and promising.
And his daughter Betty's boyfriend, whom he had never met? General Ross didn't think the other party would be more outstanding than Glenn, especially since Glenn's father also had a friendship with him, and the two families could be described as having a long-standing relationship...
In his opinion, his daughter was definitely deceived by the other party's sweet words, but now, he wanted to give his daughter Betty what he considered to be a perfect ending...
While his daughter hadn't arrived yet, General Ross began to chat with Glenn about interesting things in the Gamma Base. After all, they were both in the same base, although with different positions, but with Glenn deliberately trying to please him, the atmosphere was quite good. This further strengthened General Ross's determination to persuade his daughter to leave her current boyfriend.
"Dad..." A crisp female voice interrupted General Ross and Colonel Glenn's conversation.
General Ross looked up and saw a blond young man in a black suit, walking towards them with his daughter in his arms... It was Zhou Ye and Betty...
"Hello, General Ross," Zhou Ye came to General Ross's front and extended his hand with a smile... "My name is Zhou Ye, and I'm Betty's boyfriend..."
"Sit down." General Ross didn't give Zhou Ye a good look at all, and didn't even reach out to shake Zhou Ye's hand. Although after seeing Zhou Ye, even he, who was biased, had to admit that Zhou Ye was indeed an incomparably handsome man, this only strengthened his idea of breaking up his daughter and Zhou Ye. In his mind, pretty boys were never good things and definitely relied on cheating women out of their money to make a living.
"Cough cough..." Zhou Ye awkwardly retracted his hand. He had almost forgotten how long ago it was since someone had given him such a bad look...
"Dad..." Betty glared at her father in dissatisfaction, and said to her man with guilt: "I'm sorry, darling... my dad he..."
She didn't know how to excuse her father. She knew that if General Ross wasn't her father, or if she wasn't Zhou Ye's woman, those lunatics at the Umbrella Corporation would definitely tear her father to pieces because of her father's attitude.
"It's okay, if it were me, I would be like this too. After all, I tricked his sweet little padded jacket away..." Zhou Ye looked at Betty's uneasy expression and said in her ear with a smile. After all, this was his woman's father, and he wouldn't be angry with others because of a small matter.
"Thank you, darling..." Betty happily tiptoed and kissed him directly... This was both to thank her man for his tolerance and to express her attitude to her father that she would never change her mind.
This dog food they sprinkled made Glenn, who was sitting next to General Ross, almost turn red with envy... He knew what General Ross had called him here for. He had already regarded Betty as a woman destined to become his wife... In this situation, he had a feeling that his head was green.
But he was still smiling, as if he really was just a passerby. Although under the table, the veins on his fist were bulging high, he was still endure, it wasn't time yet, just wait... wait until after the wedding...
Originally, Zhou Ye was just taking a small taste, but now he had discovered something fun... so, he deliberately held onto Betty and didn't let go, intentionally deepening the kiss.
"Humph—pay attention to the impact, you are already adults." General Ross finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Sorry... we were a little carried away." Zhou Ye smiled and put his arm around Betty, sitting directly across from the two of them. And Betty leaned against Zhou Ye's arms with a flushed face... Her father's attitude just now made her very unhappy. He came up and gave her man a bad look. The relationship between the two father and daughter was not good, and now it has dropped to freezing point. She no longer cares about her father's attitude at all.
"Boy, I hate you very much..." General Ross stared at Zhou Ye's smiling face, and said unceremoniously: "Someone like you only has one name in our army, and that is little princess..."
"..." Zhou Ye really wanted to say, there are many people who hate me, who do you think you are? But he still didn't say it... Give his woman some face, there's no need to make things so stiff... But this doesn't mean that Zhou Ye will honestly listen to the ridicule without fighting back.
"My feelings for you are exactly the opposite of your feelings for me, General Ross, I like you very much..." Zhou Ye said with a slight smile.
"Boy, even if you flatter me, it's useless, I will never marry my daughter to you." General Ross said unceremoniously.
"No, no, I don't mean to flatter you at all." Zhou Ye smiled and said: "A person like you with firm thoughts (Curing head), firm character (Stick to the old ways), and insistence on your own opinions (Old stubborn) is simply the best candidate for the security officer in our consortium."
Security officer? To put it bluntly, it is a security guard... watching the gate... Zhou Ye was satirizing that General Ross could only be a gatekeeper security guard in his consortium...
"Puchi—!" Betty almost laughed when she heard her man's sarcastic words. Since Betty heard it, how could General Ross not hear the meaning in Zhou Ye's words? Then he would have wasted so long in the army.
"Excuse me... can I order?" A waiter stood aside, trying to hold back his laughter. In fact, when Zhou Ye brought Betty to General Ross, he had already taken the menu and walked over, but so many things happened in the middle that he didn't have a chance to speak... But now, he insisted on interjecting, feeling like he was helping Zhou Ye out of the siege...
"Okay..." General Ross suppressed his anger and casually flipped through the menu brought by the waiter... Then he ordered a few dishes. After all, he didn't want to make a fuss in front of outsiders.
Betty helped her man order food with herself. She had long known her man's preferences. This was the time to show affection... She would never let go of this opportunity.
After the waiter finished recording the menus ordered by the four people, he confirmed it again, then turned and left. Before leaving, he gave Zhou Ye an obscure gesture of encouragement... In his opinion, this was completely a scene of a prospective son-in-law meeting a difficult father-in-law. He felt the same way... His relationship ended without a hitch because of the obstruction from his girlfriend's family, so he would help Zhou Ye intentionally or unintentionally.
"There are still many good people in the world..." Zhou Ye smiled and joked in Betty's ear: "See, your dad has aroused public anger..."
Chapter 626
The first round of the confrontation between General Ross and Zhou Ye temporarily came to an end. Obviously, General Ross felt that he had suffered a loss... Taking advantage of the gap in ordering food, General Ross slightly sorted out his mistakes, and then decided to change his approach. He wanted to attack in a roundabout way.
Directly attacking now will only make his daughter feel disgusted, and make the two of them hug each other even tighter. Under pressure, the two will only become more affectionate, so let go of the pressure and chip away from the side...
"Forget it, my daughter is grown up, I can't control her anymore..." General Ross sighed and said: "This time I just want to introduce you to a friend, Glenn..."
"Hello Betty, my name is Glenn Talbot, and I am the security director of the Gamma base in charge of General Ross." Glenn had been waiting for General Ross to call him. As soon as General Ross called, he immediately stood up and stretched out his hand to Betty in a gentlemanly manner.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Ye, and I work for the Umbrella Corporation." Zhou Ye smiled and stood up to shake Glenn's hand... He didn't want his woman's hand to be held by someone else.
"Hello..." Betty just nodded indifferently. She didn't have the slightest intention of reaching out. Although this guy in military uniform looked good, her heart had already been filled by Zhou Ye. How could she have any interest?
"Umbrella Corporation, that's a big company... I wonder what position Mr. Zhou holds in it?" Glenn smiled while secretly exerting force in his hand... In his opinion, Zhou Ye was just a gigolo, how could he be the opponent of his military elite.
However, what he didn't expect was... As soon as his hand exerted force, he was met with Zhou Ye's relentless counterattack. His entire hand was like being clamped by a pair of iron pliers... The piercing pain made him scream instantly.
"Ah—! Let go, I told you to let go..." Glenn's face was distorted in pain, and he screamed like a sissy...
"You know what? I hate you very much, especially your smirk..." Zhou Ye said with a mocking smile: "I have always had a good temper, but... when I get angry, you better run as far as you can."
"Bastard, I told you to let go..." Glenn had already heard the cracking of his hand bones. Just when he couldn't help but want to draw his gun, Zhou Ye finally let go of his hand...
"Look, I'm such a gentleman, I don't even fight back when people scold me..." Zhou Ye smiled and spread his hands, looking innocent. "But... I have to say, Mr. Talbot, your upbringing is a little lacking..."
"Pfft..." Betty almost laughed. She saw how her man had just dealt with this guy. After messing with him, he said he had no upbringing... I have to say, recently her man has been getting further and further down the road of being a sadist.
"Heh… heh heh…" Guren's lungs were about to explode with anger at Zhou Ye's accusation, but in order to leave a good impression in front of Betty, he had to pretend to be nonchalant, trying to force a smile, but the piercing pain in his palm made his smile look fake no matter how you looked at it.
"Guren is already a Colonel, and it's not impossible for him to be promoted to Major General in the future." General Ross began to promote the young talent he favored, believing that there was no harm without comparison.
Although Zhou Ye said he was from the Umbrella Corporation, the Umbrella Corporation was so big, who knew what position he held within it? Pointing out Guren's military rank to crush Zhou Ye in terms of career had become a choice for General Ross. "Zhou Ye, what position do you hold in the Umbrella Corporation?"
"Uh—I'm in…" Zhou Ye's words were interrupted by a phone ringing. After saying sorry, General Ross took out his phone. "This is Ross, what? … Really? … Okay, I understand, I'll go back now… No, contact the nearby military base directly and send a helicopter to pick me up… I'm currently on Berkeley Bay Avenue, 106, Meli Restaurant, yes… now, immediately, right away…"
After hanging up the phone, General Ross stood up and said to his daughter Betty with a slightly apologetic expression: "There have been some emergencies at the base, I have to rush back to deal with them, it seems this time…"
"Go back then…" Betty said indifferently. The purpose of this dinner was to introduce her man, Zhou Ye, to her father. Now that they had met, it didn't matter whether they ate or not. Besides, she deeply resented General Ross's idea of trying to set her up, feeling that her father was just messing around.
"Boy, I won't just agree to give you my daughter…" Ross threatened Zhou Ye before leaving. After he left the table with his security chief and headed towards the roof, Zhou Ye smiled.
"What's wrong? Honey…" Betty looked at Zhou Ye, who was smiling mysteriously, with some confusion.
"It's nothing…" Since there were no outsiders around, Zhou Ye didn't mind being clearer. "Do you remember what Nina darling has been complaining about recently?"
The Nina that Zhou Ye was talking about was naturally Nina Stark, she, Betty, and Susan were a trio of best friends. The three of them often chatted through Umbrella's internal network. Although Nina stayed in the laboratory and didn't come out often, the friendship between the three sisters hadn't faded at all. After all, there was still the monthly reunion…
"Isn't Nina always complaining that her Iron Baby has no place to use it?" Betty certainly knew what Nina had been complaining about recently. "She said that fighting with you is just being bullied by you… bullied to the point where she's almost lost her confidence, so recently she's been considering finding a new target to test just how strong her Iron Man armor really is…"
"Now, the target she wants… has appeared." Zhou Ye smiled and took out a personal terminal in the form of a mobile phone and dialed Nina's contact number. After all, in public, the personal terminal on the wrist was a bit too conspicuous.
On a cliff by the sea in Malibu, California, a villa full of technology stood there, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding desolate scenery…
In fact, Zhou Ye had built this place according to the Iron Man's mansion in the movie. Originally, he wanted to use it for himself, but… he didn't expect Nina to fall in love with it at first sight, and stubbornly pestered Zhou Ye to give it to her. However, she didn't give it up without paying a price. That price was heavy… uh, I can't say the details, I can only say that she was almost played to death by Zhou Ye, and Nina's All-Knowledge Unlocked achievement was achieved.
In this villa named the City of Freedom by Zhou Ye, Nina was sleeping on the sofa in the underground laboratory. As a tech-savvy woman, she had already turned day and night upside down…
"Miss, Mr.'s communication…" Anna's voice rang out, completely waking up Nina, who was about to wake up.
"What time is it?" Nina yawned, sat up, and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"Miss, it's already 8:27 in the evening…" Anna replied meticulously.
"Oh, it's been so long?" Nina stood up, took the toothbrush with toothpaste already squeezed on it from the mechanical arm, and casually picked up a bottle of mouthwash and walked to the washroom next to the laboratory, saying: "Connect it…"
A projection device hung down directly in front of Nina, and soon, Zhou Ye's face appeared in front of her. "Hi, Nina darling."
"Hi, dear." Nina said vaguely while brushing her teeth: "What's the matter?"
…Zhou Ye spent a lot of effort to figure out what Nina was saying, "I've found a good target for you to test your Iron Man armor, would you like to try it?"
Chapter Six Hundred and Twenty-Seven
"What? Really?" Nina exclaimed loudly, forgetting that her mouth was full of toothpaste.
But soon, she realized that she couldn't even understand herself when she said that, so she quickly rinsed the toothpaste foam in her mouth with mouthwash, and asked again: "Is it true? Honey? Where is it?"
"In a military base in New Mexico." Zhou Ye said with a smile.
"Send me over… honey." Nina directly acted coquettishly. It was more than a thousand kilometers from her to New Mexico, she didn't want to miss… this opportunity. Since it was a target found for her by her dear, it was definitely enough to test all the weapon systems of her existing Mark armor models.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll go find you after dinner, and take you there by the way." Zhou Ye then asked: "Do you need me to bring you something to eat?"
"Pizza, I want pizza. Hurry up, honey." Nina couldn't wait anymore.
"I know, I know… at least wait until I've eaten before I can go…" Zhou Ye said helplessly. Of course, he could understand his goddaughter's anxious mood. After all, strictly speaking, this could be considered her first battle… she would definitely be impatient.
"Okay, I'll wait for you, dear…" Nina said, winking at Zhou Ye, she was so happy that she couldn't care about anything else.
