Bai Hao continued to ask,
"Does Shiho know about the organization's [Pharmaceutical Department] located in London?"
Shiho Miyano recalled what she had secretly investigated and began to speculate about what Bai Hao had said.
"I did some research beforehand."
“Our parents used to live in London, where they worked for the organization in the Department of Pharmacy.”
Both sisters had some recollection of this place, making it easier for Bai Hao to explain.
“Marie Akai is also in the [Pharmaceutical Department] in London.”
"She recently defected from the organization and reported it to them."
"!"
The two sisters' eyes widened instantly.
Akemi Miyano quickly pressed for an answer.
Where is Aunt Mary?
"Is Auntie alright?!"
“Mari Akai has gone missing, and the Alliance and the organization are looking for her.”
Shiho Miyano frowned slightly, her gaze towards Bai Hao carrying a hint of suspicion.
How did you find out about this?
"So, you did all of this?"
"Have you been causing trouble in London these past few days?"
Mingmei also realized what was happening, her expression somewhat flustered, her hands frantically groping Bai Hao's body.
"Haojun, are you alright?!"
Bai Hao grabbed Mingmei's smooth little hand and explained.
"I already said, she escaped on her own."
"It has nothing to do with me."
"I only know a few high-ranking members of the organization, and I got the information from them."
"and……"
Bai Hao stared into Mingmei's eyes, a hint of mockery in his gaze.
"Has Akemi forgotten?"
"I've been in the [Dragon Cliff Secret Realm] these past few days."
"Eh?!"
Akemi Miyano then realized what a stupid thing she had just done.
Her fair face flushed red with embarrassment.
Bai Hao released his grip on her soft hand and praised Akai Mary,
“Mari Akai is very good at being patient.”
"She may have been preparing to defect since after your mother died."
"Then he kept it hidden for more than a decade until he was 100% sure before he took action."
"Moreover, she was smart enough not to choose to accept the Alliance's protection."
"Once she disappears, the alliance and the organization will be unable to find her."
Bai Hao glanced at Shiho Miyano.
He's a smart person too; there are no idiots in scientific research.
Bai Hao then looked at Miyano Akemi.
This... doesn't seem to have inherited the high intelligence gene from the family.
Akemi Miyano is kind-hearted, sweet-looking, and somewhat naive.
She doesn't seem like a member of this family.
Miyano Akemi did not notice the strange look in Bai Hao's eyes.
Recalling their earlier encounter, she still felt a little shy.
The situation had been roughly explained, and Bai Hao asked the two of them for their thoughts.
What are your thoughts on this "auntie"?
"Do you want to go find her?"
Akemi suddenly came to her senses.
I'm feeling conflicted.
Bai Hao rescued her and her sister, and also wiped out all the organizations in Chiba City.
These favors were too great, and she felt too embarrassed to ask for anything more.
Shiho Miyano rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, then shook her head in refusal.
"It's too much trouble to reach out to her."
"I have a feeling she'll come looking for me."
"In recent days, the news of Chiba City cracking down on the 'Radiant Freemasons' has been making headlines."
"The organization has not dared to extend its reach in any further recently."
"Chiba is now arguably the safest place in the world."
"If I were her, Chiba would be my first choice of city."
"We can just wait for her here."
Shiho Miyano also wanted to meet this aunt who worked with her mother.
She was eager to learn something about her mother from the other person.
Bai Hao nodded without saying anything more.
Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump is indeed a good idea.
Akemi Miyano understood what her sister meant, and her anxiety eased slightly.
Bai Hao changed the subject,
What's the deal with Shiho's superpowers?
In the past, Bai Hao might have thought that her superpowers were innate.
But after what happened to Xia He and Vermouth, Bai Hao is now having some doubts.
Could this be caused by taking medication?
Shiho Miyano explained,
"My superpowers are innate, but they awakened a little late."
"After awakening, I was worried about being discovered by the organization, so I secretly developed drugs to suppress the fluctuations of superpowers in my body."
"The pill I took the day you came to save me was to suppress the fluctuations of my superpowers and assist in developing them."
Bai Hao nodded, then, remembering the organization's hidden contingency plan, pressed for more information.
"Has the organization planted a superpower bomb in your mind?"
Shiho Miyano shook her head.
"do not know."
"I have no related memories, and I don't sense anything unusual."
Bai Hao waved to her.
"Come sit here, let me take a look at you."
Shiho Miyano hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the older sister to Bai Hao's left.
He walked around the coffee table and sat down on the other side of Bai Hao.
Bai Hao stared directly into the girl's lake-blue eyes, his mental energy probing into her sea of consciousness.
"Ok?"
Bai Hao let out a soft sigh and took out the [Superpower Bomb] from her sea of consciousness.
Unlike Vermouth and others, Shiho Miyano's bomb is only at the Uranus level.
Bai Hao felt something was strange and remembered the aura of superpower.
"Something strange."
"Your strength is only at the Heavenly King level; it wasn't set up by the organization's higher-ups."
