Tavern
The tavern was not crowded, yet the atmosphere was unusually lively. The topic of conversation revolved around the victory in Tomorrow's Battle. People were puzzled by the sudden drop in the ferocity of the Mimic Monster, which had been so fierce just the night before. It was said that during the Beach Battle, the Defense Alliance Forces suffered heavy casualties. However, a strange scene unfolded in the subsequent battles; those once ferocious Mimic Monsters suddenly seemed to lose their targets, becoming powerless and disorganized. They were met with a counterattack from the Human Warriors, ultimately leading to their complete annihilation, leaving them in a pitiful state.
A sudden honking of a car horn broke through the chatter outside the tavern, followed by the arrival of a middle-aged woman who stepped out of the vehicle. Despite her careful grooming, her face bore a hint of fatigue. She exuded sharp confidence, her eyes glimmering with a calculating light, revealing a depth of ambition that had long been nurtured.
As she entered the tavern, her casual demeanor swept across the room. Her gaze briefly landed on a figure sitting calmly in the corner, causing her to shift slightly. In her eyes was a mix of determination and indifference, as if she awaited some outcome.
Upon stepping into the tavern, all discussions came to an abrupt halt. In this otherwise ordinary establishment, the unexpected entrance of such a striking and uniquely poised mature woman was indeed a first.
All eyes turned toward her as she made her way to a quiet corner where Xiao Qiang sat, trying to enjoy a moment of peace away from the noise. This simple desire for tranquility was now disrupted by the sudden appearance of the Strange Woman.
Without any pleasantries, she took a seat directly across from him.
Her face was one that had been refined yet could not hide the traces of time; it revealed an air of weariness. Upon seeing Xiao Qiang, her tired expression brightened momentarily, softening into an unexpected warmth filled with unspoken anticipation and joy.
"I finally found you."
"Who are you?"
"Bell."
"I don't know you."
" Shigu's wife."
"Still don't recognize you."
“Shigu I am b. You all go to the dbl6 experimental base. Mr. and I do not approve of this. It is Professor R who stubbornly insists on sending you.”
“It’s you,” Xiao Qiang desperately searched his mind for the memories that still lingered. The memories related to the military camp and Tomorrow's Battle had been erased, but some fragmented memories unrelated to war remained in his mind. He recalled the first time he left school, being dispatched to the dbl6 experimental base.
Mr. C only learned about it from Matt. They were not capable of knowing his background.
“Is there something you need from me?”
“My husband wants to see you.”
“He wants to meet me just to see me?”
“Yes.”
“Then Ms. Bell came specifically to pick me up?”
“Yes.”
Xiao Qiang pondered for a moment before suddenly looking up and asking, “Can you tell me what this is about?”
“It’s a secret. I’ll tell you on the plane.”
“Are Matt and Professor R going?”
Ms. Bell gazed sincerely at Xiao Qiang and said, “It’s useless for them to go.”
"Alright."
Xiao Qiang received a new mission but did not get a clear departure date. The only item he carried was a guitar case, nothing else. This time machine was limited to confidential personnel and was an international secret. No one outside knew the secret purpose of the Time Machine Box, including Matt and Professor R, as well as the mysterious Ms. Bell before him.
The aircraft was a supersonic micro helicopter. Onboard, Ms. Bell smiled and said, "I didn't expect JD Warrior to be interested in music."
Her words clearly indicated that she was unaware of the box's remarkable use. Since she didn't know, she was an outsider. When formally accepted into the International Talent Agency's programming code, Xiao Qiang had sworn an oath to keep all dispatched missions and secrets confidential; otherwise, there would be no place for him to rest in death.
"Yes," Xiao Qiang nodded, still pondering the earlier topic. "You mentioned wanting to tell me on the plane why you sought me out."
"Yes, you are one of the JD members crafted by my father-in-law, possessing special abilities and an ageless gene synthesis serum. This is our Shame Clan's Pride. My father-in-law, who is now advanced in age and on the brink of death, wishes to see the last member he personally created. So I received orders to find you without delay."
"I see. What illness does your father-in-law have?"
"A harmful bacterium is slowly consuming his body cells," Bell sighed heavily, her expression grave. "I hope you can bring him some comfort so that he can depart this world with peace."
What is this about? Upon meeting me, Xiao Qiang thought to himself. That mysterious Big Shot usually only contacts Professor R directly; why did they specifically seek me out this time?
He felt that their intentions were not as simple as just wanting to meet him; there must be something more behind it. The aircraft quickly reached its destination and descended in front of a large gray-white building.
In front of the gray-white building stood armed bodyguards and guards patrolling 24/7. It seemed that this was indeed the residence of a Big Shot.
Ms. Bell exited the helicopter and led Xiao Qiang straight through the front door. With her guiding them, no guards questioned them about anything. Inside, the decor was a blend of modern and classical minimalist styles, elegant and refined. The courtyard featured flowers and trees with a faint fragrance wafting through the air, along with an oval-shaped rockery fountain fish pond.
Ms. Bell called over a nanny to take Xiao Qiang for a bath.
What’s this? It’s just meeting an old man on his deathbed; why all this fuss? Xiao Qiang followed the nanny with suspicion but kept his thoughts to himself.
Since entering this grand yet oddly atmospheric building, every nerve in Xiao Qiang's body was on high alert. The box never left his side; even when entering the bathroom, he held it tightly in his hands.
The nanny was overly attentive and quite outrageous; she even took the initiative to help Xiao Qiang undress and personally bathe him...
Xiao Qiang couldn't take it anymore.
The Nanny knelt down, her delicate face showing a hint of helplessness and sorrow.
Xiao Qiang noticed something different in her expression. "You are Rus National," he said, stepping back as she nodded sadly. "What are you doing here?"
"Sir, the whole family is..."
Xiao Qiang, who was always in a hurry, quickly put on the clothes he had almost taken off and waved his hand. "Get out."
As he watched the humble Nanny bow and exit, he spat in frustration, tightening his belt. Damn it, I almost exposed myself in front of those lowly people.
