Su Chen's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.
"From today onwards, I will be your partner and your deputy."
The two equally powerful, equally beautiful, and equally devoted Humagears, whose gazes met precisely in the air for Su Chen alone.
There was none of the probing or curiosity that a human woman might have upon first meeting.
There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation.
Their eyes were calm as a deep pool, but after confirming each other's presence, they nodded slightly in almost simultaneous motion.
A small action can represent absolute agreement and cooperation based on core instructions.
They will become the two sharpest and coldest swords that Su Chen plunges into the dark heart of Fengdu.
The following movements were fluid and graceful.
Su Chen leveraged the network of relationships he had cultivated and firmly controlled in the political arena, particularly with the female politician Yayoi Takashima.
With a grand yet irresistible reason: "To assist the police in effectively responding to the increasingly rampant and sophisticated high-tech crimes and serious incidents related to Gaia memory."
A “friendly” and “necessary” “technical support” was provided to the long-standing and inefficient Fengdu Police Station.
He will be completely transformed into a Humagear, and together with Yua Yaiba, who appears as the "Chief Technical Advisor of Zero One Technology", they will be officially placed into the core system of the Fuuto Police Department with lightning speed.
Furthermore, thanks to the powerful efforts of Representative Takashima and the irresistible "resources" provided behind the scenes by Su Chen.
A brand-new, special department with unprecedentedly high investigative authority and freedom of action was quickly established within the police station.
Its name is "AIMS" (Artificial Intelligence Military Service)!
Artificial intelligence military service forces.
A name that sounds both technologically advanced and imposing.
On the very day that this new department, which caused a stir among the top police officers in Fengdu and sparked much discussion among lower-ranking officers, was officially established.
Su Chen, through the underground information network he controls, which spreads like a spider web across every dark corner of Fengdu.
It issued a clear and domineering ultimatum to the dark side of the city, to all the scum who were addicted to the power of the Gaia Memory.
That was a declaration of war.
"Starting today, Zero One Technology's 'Ames' team will begin an indiscriminate hunt for all illegal users of Gaia Memory."
This message was precisely delivered to the terminals of every gang leader, every underground trader, and every hybrid user through various encrypted channels.
"All Gaia Memories seized during the operation, regardless of their level or ability, will be fully recovered and disposed of by Zero One Technology."
This means that the sources of power they previously obtained through various means, which they relied on for survival or for committing evil, will no longer belong to them.
“Any form of resistance will be considered a direct military provocation against Zero One Technology.”
The consequences of provocation are self-evident.
This goes far beyond the simple scope of "assisting in maintaining public order".
This is a naked, undisguised, unilateral "declaration of war"!
Su Chen is using the most direct and ruthless method to declare to the entire underworld of Fengdu:
From this moment on, all those filthy, corrupt old rules that you have been in are completely null and void.
The new order and new rules will be redefined by me, Su Chen, the controller of Zero One Technology!
The hunting horn, in the sky above Wind City, was officially sounded by him personally, with an unquestionable air.
A storm that will sweep across the entire city has begun.
Su Chen's domineering and provocative "declaration of war" was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a monstrous wave in the underground world of Fengdu.
The one who felt it most strongly was undoubtedly the underground emperor of this city, Sonozaki Ryubei.
When he received the report that drove him almost mad from the "museum's" proud, supposedly all-pervasive intelligence system.
Kujo Aya, the deepest pawn whom he trusted and was most proud of, not only failed her mission completely, but was also transformed into a cold "puppet" who could only obey orders by the opponent using an unknown technology that was almost like sorcery.
What he found even more intolerable was that this "doll" was now being transformed and planted in the police force, becoming Su Chen's most vicious "hunting dog" to hunt down his own Saki Ryubei, and even the entire "museum"!
Even this "terrifying lord," who held sway over Fengdu and had experienced countless bloody battles, was now so enraged that his internal organs were churning, and his knuckles were turning white from the excessive force.
The Persian cat in his arms, which was usually pampered, seemed to sense the terrifying killing intent emanating from its master, which was almost solidified, and let out an uneasy low growl.
A fierce glint flashed in Sonozaki Ryubei's eyes, and she almost snapped its neck on the spot, using this innocent creature as an outlet for her rage.
shame!
This is an unprecedented and utterly humiliating act, tearing off the face of Sonozaki Ryubei and then repeatedly trampling on it with dirty shoes covered in mud!
Su Chen's move went far beyond the scope of a typical "slap in the face".
He was announcing his arrival in a way that was almost artistically cruel, an elegance so profound it sent chills down one's spine.
He disregarded the supreme dignity that Sonozaki Ryubei had built up over decades, trampling it underfoot with ease, crushing it repeatedly like an ant until it was pulverized.
This man named Su Chen not only possesses despair-inducing and unparalleled technological power, but his style of doing things is also ruthless, decisive, unscrupulous, and completely unpredictable.
He intends to fundamentally shake the museum's absolute dominance in Fengdu, a position that has been firmly established for decades!
That night, the atmosphere at the Sonozaki family's main residence was as oppressive as the deathly stillness before a storm, the air so thick it was almost viscous.
At the family meeting, the enraged "Terror Prince" Ryubei Sonozaki, for the first time in front of all his family members, unabashedly revealed his almost out-of-control, beast-like rage.
"Useless! A bunch of hopeless good-for-nothings!"
He roared, veins throbbing on his temples, and slammed the report, which recorded the shame, onto the smooth, mirror-like rosewood table.
The papers scattered and flew everywhere, just like his shattered dignity at this moment.
"A mere nine-striped ribbon! Not only did it fail to uncover even a trace of Su Chen's true nature, but it also turned into a weapon in his hands, turning against us! When has our 'Museum' ever suffered such an immense humiliation!"
His eyes, deep-set yet burning with fury, were sharp as a hawk's, filled with a suffocating, terrifying pressure, as they slowly swept over everyone present.
No one dared to meet his gaze, including his two daughters who were usually of high status; they all lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Su Chen... Zero One Technology..."
He was tasting the bitterest poison, or cursing his mortal enemy, repeatedly chewing on the name that made him restless and unable to eat or sleep.
The intense killing intent in his eyes, almost solidified into a tangible force, caused the temperature in the entire conference room to drop several degrees.
"Conventional methods have become completely ineffective against him."
"A direct assault? That would only make us fly like moths to a flame, paying a heavy price without even managing to harm a hair on his head."
"Sending an undercover agent? Kujo Aya's fate is a bloody lesson. That man seems to possess a pair of demonic eyes that can see through people's hearts. Any disguise is like a clumsy performance in front of him, easily seen through by him. Then, he uses people's own methods against them, turning them into poisonous blades that pierce our own hearts!"
He paced back and forth restlessly on the luxurious carpet, his clenched fists making a cracking sound, like an angry lion cornered by the most cunning hunter, yet unable to find a way out.
He painfully realized that, facing a monster-level opponent like Su Chen, whose strength was unfathomable, whose wisdom was almost monstrous, and whose actions were meticulous, he had to, and could only, resort to unconventional, even ruthless, strategies.
Since we can't destroy it or even budge it from the outside, we can only... let it rot from the inside! Let it collapse on its own!
An incredibly ruthless and risky plan, like a venomous snake, rapidly swirled in his mind and gradually took shape.
He decided that he had to send someone—someone who would absolutely not arouse Su Chen's suspicion, someone who could truly infiltrate his inner circle and gain access to his most core secrets—to infiltrate his side!
In this world, the most effective weapon to numb people's hearts and make them inadvertently let down their guard is always the entanglement of beauty and emotion.
His gaze, like a venomous snake locking onto its prey, slowly, with an unmistakable scrutiny and determination, fell upon his two daughters.
One is the eldest daughter of the proud, aloof, and ruthless "Fang Queen," named Sonozaki Saeko.
The other is Sonozaki Wakana, an idol princess who appears innocent and carefree on the surface but is actually deep and thoughtful, and is deeply loved by the public.
Who is that sharpest, most perfect, poison-laden dagger, capable of silently piercing Su Chen's powerful heart?
Chapter 60: The Sisters' "Conflict," a False Betrayal, and the "Fall" of Fang.
Sonozaki Ryuhei's gloomy face looked particularly ferocious in the dim light.
His bloodshot eyes, like those of a hungry wolf searching for its prey, darted back and forth over his two daughters, his gaze filled with calculation and scrutiny.
The air was thick with a suffocating sense of oppression.
He spoke slowly.
His voice was hoarse from suppressed anger.
Yet it also carried an unquestionable, authoritative air of authority belonging to those in power.
This majesty once made the entire wind tremble.
"At this point, we only have one last option left."
Every word Ryūbei uttered seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a chilling coldness.
He looked at his two beautiful daughters in front of him.
There was not a trace of warmth in his eyes.
It's nothing but blatant exploitation.
“I need one of you to play the role of a ‘defector’.”
The moment that word was uttered, even the air seemed to freeze.
"You need to get close to Su Chen."
"Use your Sonozaki family's identity."
"With your beauty that you are so proud of."
"Use everything you have to gain his trust."
Ryūbei's voice suddenly rose, carrying a hint of madness.
"Ultimately, we found his most fatal weakness from within!"
"Then, utterly destroy him!"
The plan itself was extremely vicious.
He actually wanted to use his own flesh and blood to serve as the sharpest "honey trap" blade to pierce the enemy.
This is practically gambling with the Sonozaki family's last reputation and future.
