Chapter 494: Research (1/2)
After filling their stomachs, all three of them returned to a mansion an hour from the restaurant. It was a villa the size of a mega-mansion facing the sea.
Because of Kai's character he had shown since the beginning, Marsha didn't say anything to him this whole time and waited until they returned to the mansion to grab her information.
Marsha invited him to her study, where the middle-aged man grabbed the documents.
”Let's talk about the scandals. I have mentioned three of them to you, right?” She smiled and opened her device, showing him a few proofs.
He could see three images from the screen. The left picture appeared to be a laboratory with human skins hanging on the wall as if they were pieces of meat.
The middle picture seemed to be in the same building and showed him three humans with animal hands. And last but not least, the right one was a picture of tubes filled with red liquid.
”These three are the proofs that can be used to strike him. The middle one is Magical Beast Blood Research, like yourself…” Marsha abruptly paused after this, looking at Kai's reaction.
Kai remained calm and nodded, knowing that his fate might be like this had he failed the transformation. He thought for a moment and asked, ”How many people have become like this?”
”Nothing goes like your teacher's research, so I assume he has already made a few hundred people like this. They will feel vengeful if you're aiming at them as they will soon become an army that will destroy the base.”
”I can see that, albeit I don't think I'm capable of saving them.” Kai let out a long sigh. He remembered the previous incident where he killed a failed Zodiac due to Ria's request. He didn't think about it easily and simply fulfilled her request.
After a long while, he realized that such a thing wasn't right. His master should have the ability to help them even if it took a few years.
Kai closed his eyes and asked himself, 'I wonder if Teacher actually uses that chance to… Wait, did she want their lives to…'
Kai suddenly came to a realization of his teacher but had no way to confirm it. It would be wrong to call her right now, so he wanted to call her after this meeting. There might be a way to save those people.
”I can do something about them.”
”Hoh?!” Marsha squinted her eyes and said, ”Since you can deal with them, I can cover this incident afterward. Though, I am sure it's better for me to get something from this research, right?”
”All you will get from me is my fist. I don't know if you dare to take it.” Kai's killing intent leaked from his eyes before he retracted it again. ”If you think you can get something from something that I fix, then don't think about it. It's impossible.”
Marsha didn't have a change of expression as if she had expected this kind of response. She just wanted to test Kai to see whether he was able to solve this issue or not.
Since the latter had given her some assurance, she then negotiated the deal. ”How about this… I will be the one sending them to the US Government as a way to search for a cure. We will see whether they still want to return here or not after they're cured.”
”That way, you have the possibility of getting benefit while making a good image of yourself, eh?” Kai saw through her with a nod. ”Fine. The US Base will also get the research data about this, especially my Teacher, so I don't think it's a bad deal. And we won't be giving you anything.”
