Knight, start the ultimate battle, copy the stone tablet

"Boom!!!"

Amidst the explosions, the huge building of the research institute collapsed.

The smoke and dust flew all over the sky, and the raging flames were still burning.

The interior of the institute was exposed, and the flames burning inside burned more vigorously under the breeze.

Many people who had not escaped were completely left here.

Seeing this, Lu Li couldn't help but think of the words that Zuo Xiangtaro often said.

Okay, let's count your sins!

But what about him?

Unknowingly, he also made a huge mistake, but he probably didn't realize it.

Not realizing it doesn't mean he didn't do it.

...

In a blink of an eye, a few hours passed, and the sky was already dawning.

The raging fire in the institute on the island was finally extinguished at this time.

What was left was just a ruin.

Sonosaki Saeko immediately sent people from the museum to rescue the information and data inside the institute.

Without the test subject, it would be much more difficult to get these data and information back.

Rescue these data and information as much as possible, and save as much as possible.

Looking at the ruins in front of her, Sonosaki Saeko's face turned ashen.

Her two jade hands clenched into fists and clenched tightly. Thinking of the black and white guy, she felt angry.

But she couldn't find the guy's figure, and didn't know where he ran to.

Lu Li stayed with her, quietly looking at the ruins in front of her.

Unexpectedly, this place was still destroyed.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The phone rang suddenly, and Sonosaki Saeko took out her phone and saw the caller ID, and her face changed immediately.

Without looking, Lu Li had already guessed who the caller was.

"...Yes, father, I know."

Sonosaki Saeko responded palely and hung up the phone.

Seeing Sonosaki Saeko's pale face, Lu Li couldn't help asking.

"Did he say anything?"

After coming back to her senses, a trace of fear flashed across Sonosaki Saeko's eyes. She clutched the phone in her hand and whispered.

"Father...he...he said he would be there soon."

So that's how it was. No wonder Sonosaki Saeko was frightened and pale.

The research institute was destroyed, a lot of information and data were lost, and the most important test subjects were also taken away.

Sonosaki Ryubei, who had been the controller behind the scenes, could no longer do anything.

He had to go to the scene immediately to see what the situation was and how much information and data were left.

Noticing that Sonosaki Saeko seemed to be trembling slightly with fear, Lu Li stepped forward and gently hugged her shoulders.

"Let him come, there's nothing to be afraid of. I'm still here. He won't do anything to you."

Lu Li's voice was full of calmness.

It was because of this calmness that the fear in Sonosaki Saeko's heart was reduced a lot.

At this time, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have someone she could rely on.

...

An hour later, a larger speedboat came at a rapid speed.

When the speedboat arrived at the shore, the spirited Sonosaki Ryubei jumped off the speedboat.

When he saw the bombed research institute, his eyes under the amber glasses were cold.

He hadn't been angry for a long time.

The research institute is a vital place for the museum. It is mainly used for the research of Gaia memory.

It is not easy to rebuild a research institute after it was destroyed.

Even if a lot of money is spent, it will take a certain amount of time.

Thinking of this, Sonosaki Ryubei clenched his fist unconsciously.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, he put his hands behind his back and strode forward.

It was completely unlike the mental appearance of a gray-haired old man.

After seeing Sonosaki Ryubei, everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to look him in the face.

Arriving not far from the ruins of the research institute, Sonosaki Ryubei finally saw Lu Li and Sonosaki Saeko.

He walked over with a livid face.

Now he just wanted to know the extent of the loss and how much information and data were missing.

Where was the test subject? Could it be taken back?

These were the only things he cared about, and he didn't care about anything else.

Chapter 45 Family Affairs, Terror!

Sonosaki Saeko raised her head slightly as if she felt a sense of oppression.

As a result, she saw Sonosaki Ryubei with a livid face coming over.

Sonosaki Saeko, who was terrified in her heart, stood up immediately and shouted respectfully.

"Father!"

There was a faint tremor in his voice.

The mental impact that Sonosaki Ryubei had on Sonosaki Saeko could not be eliminated in a short time.

She felt as if a mountain was pressing on her at this moment, as if it could crush her at any time.

And Lu Li's face did not change.

It was as if the person in front of him was not the underground emperor of Fuuto, but just an ordinary old man.

With a gloomy face, Sonosaki Ryubei stared coldly at his eldest daughter.

He was obviously very dissatisfied with her.

"Saeko, where are the test subjects? How much data and information have been lost? How many have been rescued?"

The words were full of chill, and Sonosaki Saeko felt as if she was going to be frozen.

The oppressive Sonosaki Ryubei made Sonosaki Saeko's heart beat faster.

"Gurgle~! Father, the test subject... the test subject escaped, and as for the data and information, only... only about half of them were rescued."

Such an answer made Sonosaki Ryubei obviously very dissatisfied, and the air around him seemed to condense under the powerful momentum.

"Shua!!"

A slap was swung out quickly, and the target was exactly Sonosaki Saeko's smooth face.

Sonosaki Saeko, who had long expected this situation, closed her eyes in fear and waited quietly for the slap to come.

She was ready to bear her father's anger.

But after a few seconds, there was still no pain.

Sonosaki Saeko opened her eyes in fear, but found a hand blocking her in front of her.

Who else could it be but Lu Li?

He... really confronted his father for himself? !

Sonozaki Saeko never thought that Lu Li would stand against her for her and her father.

At this moment, the distance between Lu Li and Sonozaki Ryubei was only one meter.

Lu Li's left hand tightly grasped Sonozaki Ryubei's right hand, which was about to slap her, and his face was calm.

He was about to punish his daughter, but he didn't expect to be stopped by this kid.

Sonozaki Ryubei's eyes twitched, and he was very unhappy.

"Lu Li, what do you mean?"

His voice was cold, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Lu Li's behavior at the moment.

Hearing this, Lu Li looked at Sonozaki Ryubei very calmly.

"Uncle, Saeko is not to blame for what happened today. I was also at the scene and knew everything that happened at the scene.

Saeko has tried her best, but she still failed to save the institute, let alone keep the test subject. This is not her fault."

One wants to fight and the other wants to save. The two are now tit-for-tat, full of momentum.

Looking at the tall figure standing in front of her, Sonosaki Saeko felt her heart beat for the first time.

Before, she just wanted to rely on Lu Li's powerful strength and use him to deal with her father.

But now, she has a different idea in her heart.

Lu Li... maybe he is someone she can rely on.

"Don't blame her?"

With a sneer, Sonosaki Ryubei's cold eyes collided with Lu Li's.

Sonosaki Saeko, who opened her eyes slightly, seemed to be able to feel the sparks of the two people's eyes intertwined and collided.

Receiving that her hand was still tightly held by Lu Li, Sonosaki Ryubei frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Lu Li, you are a guest of my family, but... this is our family's family affairs. Without becoming a member of the family, do you want to interfere in our family affairs?"

What he said was not wrong. This is indeed an internal matter of the Sonosaki family. Logically speaking, Lu Li is not qualified to manage it.

But whether he is qualified or not, this question should depend on what Lu Li himself thinks.

If he wants to manage, there is nothing he can't manage.

"That's not the case. Although the relationship between Saeko and I has not progressed to the final step, I believe that Saeko is willing to be with me. What do you think... Saeko?"

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Li turned his head to look at Sonozaki Saeko, who was still nervous behind him.

At this time, Sonozaki Saeko seemed to have regarded Lu Li as her last straw.

Nodding vigorously, Sonozaki Saeko immediately replied.

"Yes! I am willing to marry Lu Li!"

When he heard the word "marriage", Lu Li was slightly surprised and his eyes widened a little.

He had just said that he was just together, but he didn't expect that Sonozaki Saeko would directly talk about marriage.

Although the effect is the same.

"Now? Uncle, there should be no problem, right?"

Before, Sonozaki Ryubei was very supportive of Lu Li and Sonozaki Saeko being able to get together.

But for some reason, he now had an idea of ​​opposition in his heart.

Although this idea was not strong, it made him slightly disgusted with Lu Li.

He wanted to teach his daughter a lesson, but she stopped him. After Lu Li married his daughter, he might have no way to control her.
