Chapter 190: The Avenger (1)
"[I have not forgotten.]"
"What? What do you mean by that...?"
"This concludes the press conference."
The desperate pleas of journalists calling after Regalia echoed even through the TV speakers. Yet Regalia, known as the "Iron-Blooded Businesswoman," paid them no heed as she left the press room without a second glance.
As the news ended, I couldn’t help but let out a wry chuckle while watching from the lab. When had she started preparing all of this?
"Probably from the very beginning."
Mr. Clear—the assassin who killed the boss. Once she had uncovered his identity, the boss had managed to learn an astonishing amount about him. From the fact that he had existed since before humanity’s dawn, to the revelation that he had been created by someone for a specific purpose.
She had also discovered that he had been acting under the influence of numerous corporate leaders.
At the time, I had found her unusually calm upon realizing this. But it wasn’t that she had forgotten or decided to let it go. She had simply been lying in wait for the perfect moment to unleash everything at once.
"So even her order for me to prepare for battle... was part of her method to handle me?"
For Evilus Corporation to go up alone against 25 cities was a monumental undertaking. A war. The kind of conflict where no one could predict the winner and where both sides would suffer irreparable damage, even if victorious.
There was no way I would have allowed that to happen. If the boss had commanded me to prepare for war, I would have done so with ruthless efficiency, wiping out the other cities without hesitation.
