A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 349: Chapter 273: Invitation_1

“So, that guy mentioned needing you and then left?”

Chris was staring at Rebecca and Sherry, the latter nodded.

“Yes, he said he was here to protect us, and then he left.”

“Alright…This organization remains as mysterious as ever.”

Chris shook his head. Since the Tribunal assassinated the senator several years ago and even made the entire Trichain Pharmaceuticals explode on the spot, the government had been trying to track down this mysterious organization, but there wasn’t the slightest clue. Whether it was that man, or his stated organization, there was never a shred of a clue as if none of these had ever appeared in this world.

And now, it has appeared once again.

“But no matter what, we managed to protect our database.”

Reflecting on what had happened, Rebecca was also quite frightened. Afterwards, they found a USB drive loaded with data on the leather-clad woman. It was obvious that she launched the attack here to acquire Rebecca’s research data on the virus. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai killed that woman which prevented the data from being leaked. Although they didn’t know who wanted these data, at least for now, they didn’t succeed.

No, maybe… Chris knew who was behind it all.

“Glenn Arias.”

Chris took out his phone, revealing a picture of a grey-haired man, who on first glance, seemed to be elegant and refined.

“He is an arms dealer. Now he’s taken over the remnants of Umbrella and Trichain company and is reselling these viruses. I think maybe because your vaccine is too advanced, it attracted this guy’s attention. The woman who died at the scene was one of his underlings.”

Thinking of this, Chris couldn’t help but recall the operation not long ago. He’d dispatched an undercover agent who had lost contact. By the time Chris and his team arrived, they found that the agents had all turned into zombies and the whole place had been booby-trapped. At that time, Chris narrowly escaped being killed by that man. Fortunately, rescue arrived in time.

Back then, accompanying this man, there was a woman in a leather jacket and a burly, grotesquely proportioned man. Although the woman’s head had been blown apart by Duanmu Huai, from Rebecca and Sherry’s description, it was clear that she was the leather-clad woman who accompanied Alex.

So, Chris had no objections to Duanmu Huai. On the contrary, he was grateful to the man – at least he had helped him avenge.

“But…Why would this Alex do such a thing?”

Sherry looked at the picture and raised her own question.

“He is an arms dealer. Because of this, he had people looking out for him. On his wedding day, the enemies sent drones to attack the wedding scene. His wife and family were killed in the attack, and only he barely managed to escape…Maybe it was this that led him to choose this way to retaliate against the world.”

“…How pitiful…”

Upon hearing this, Sherry couldn’t help but sigh. However, just at that moment, the sound of Duanmu Huai came from behind her.

“Pitiful my ass.”

With this phrase, Duanmu Huai strode out of the shadows and sat down on the bed nearby, snorting coldly.

“An arms dealer, a merchant of death, an instigator of conflict. He brought this upon himself. He thinks he is wronged? These people have supplied weapons and incited wars, thousands have died under their arms. Now he cannot bear a few of his relatives dying? Who should those who died from the weapons he sold seek justice from?”

“How are you here?!”

Seeing Duanmu Huai appear, everyone was startled, but Duanmu Huai shrugged.

“I’ve been following you all along, didn’t you notice?”

“I…I truly didn’t…”

Looking at Duanmu Huai’s tall figure in astonishment, Sherry, Rebecca, and Chris were all dumbstruck, lost for words – such an obvious person following them and they didn’t notice?

“Uh…Could it be because I’ve been working so long lately, my eyesight has deteriorated…”

Sherry stretched out her hand and rubbed her glasses, while Rebecca and Chris were at a loss for words. Soon, Chris came back to his senses and coughed.

“So, you’re the Judge from the Tribunal?”

“That’s right.”

“You needed Rebecca and Sherry for something?”

“It’s a very important matter, so I hope you can resolve the current trouble as soon as possible. After all, we’re also pressed for time.”

“Uncle Tall, what do you want us to do?”

Listening to Duanmu Huai’s words, Sherry curiously asked. Duanmu Huai glanced at her and quickly provided an answer.

“It’s simple, continue to do as you’re doing – prevent another biochemical disaster. I’ll tell you more about the situation when we get there. So I hope you can take care of the trouble as soon as possible and follow me to the Tribunal.”

“This…”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Sherry and Rebecca exchanged a glance, while Chris frowned.

“No, I can’t allow it. The situation around the Tribunal isn’t clear. If you wish to cooperate, it can be done through official channels…”
