Chapter 76: Gu Family
[Oh my! Real-life young master syndrome! I wonder if when this guy loses, he’ll summon his ancestors for you to beat up too? Atherna commented excitedly.
{Ugh... just go back to your anime-watching spree, please. Thinking about that actually happening is enough to give me an aneurysm.} Maximilian let out an internal sigh at Atherna’s antics.
[Don’t mind if I do. (≧▽≦)]
{Wait... does this mean you have some kind of entertainment room with internet access inside my head!? And it’s somehow connected to our old world’s internet!? I’m so jealous!}
[He heeee (´～｀)] Atherna hummed smugly.
While Maximilian was mentally chatting with Atherna, the situation outside took a turn for the worse. The gate blocking the corridor opened again, revealing a group of corporate soldiers with rifles raised and aimed at them.
Switch was caught off guard. Her expression hardened as she narrowed her eyes at the approaching soldiers.
All of them wore sleek combat armor, some even in heavy gear, all standard-issue by the UEC, though marked with the corporate logo.
"Capture these two. They are intruders!" the man named Tian barked, pointing directly at Maximilian and Switch.
The soldiers advanced quickly, weapons trained on them. To their shock, Maximilian made no move to resist. He stood still, entirely calm.
This sent a chill through both Switch and Gu Yichen. Was he really going to let himself be captured? Wasn’t he going to fight back? Was that earlier display of strength just a one-time thing?
