Chapter 460 Wishing a Successful Cooperation

In the early morning, on the corridor in front of the emergency operating room of the Medical Department of St. Freya Academy, the dazzling white light made people even more drowsy, but when they thought of what was happening in the operating room, the drowsiness gradually dissipated, and every day A person switches back and forth between these two states, feebly wanting to pull his hair to stay awake.

No one made a sound, only the sound of footsteps made by the collision of hard leather soles with the ground circulated on the long corridor, and each footstep was like a heavy classical sound hitting everyone's ears and hearts.

Finally, Kiana, who still couldn't hide her thoughts, was the first to speak and break the silence:

"Oh, auntie, can you stop turning around? Isn't there a seat here..."

"I...I, am I worried?"

"Okay Theresa, you've changed things like this and we're even more anxious."

Ji Zi used a helpless and decadent tone to make up for it accurately.

Theresa sighed softly, and instead of sitting on the empty seat on the bench specially reserved for her by Jizi, she directly leaned her body against the wall of the corridor.

"Principal, you don't have to worry. Didn't Mr. Mikael install a prosthetic leg for me before? It's not a big deal for him to perform the surgery alone, right?"

Looking at Mei's right arm slowly raised, Theresa took a deep breath and did not tell her that the prosthetic leg had been installed by Mikael before she received Mei at St. Freya Academy. However, Mei Yi was in a coma at that time, and she still doesn’t know about it until now.

How could Theresa be completely at ease with Mikael? From the beginning, there was a "Shaniyat" who appeared out of nowhere, and the first encounter with Himeko was also an unusual coincidence. It seemed like it was deliberately arranged. If she could, she really didn't want this dangerous guy who could even talk and laugh with her grandfather to stay in St. Freya, and she didn't want him to perform core stripping surgery on Wendy alone, but she had promised from the beginning not to interfere with St. Freya. Grandpa Otto, who was responsible for the specific affairs of Freya Academy, had already violated the original agreement between their grandfather and grandson twice in a row because of this man.

But of course she couldn't say these words out loud. There were too many speculations in them that were just based on her personal preferences. Not to mention that she also knew her students, including the class monitor Fu Hua who also concealed her identity, and the teacher Ji Zi. They all have a good relationship with him.

"But... this is too messy. After all, you always need an assistant during surgery, right? He... ugh..."

As ridiculous as this complaint is,...

"Wow——"

The door to the operating room suddenly opened. It seemed that the lights in the corridor were much brighter than those in the operating room. Mikael narrowed his eyes uncomfortably.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting. Wendy's surgery has been completed. Well...she can't adapt to her legs now, and she shouldn't be able to stand up immediately. Please take her back to the ward. I need to give that thing to the Bishop. ”

"I understand, you really don't follow the surgical procedures."

Theresa drooped her eyelids and shook her head, her eyes sweeping over the small box that Mikael carried.

Mei and Kiana didn't understand this. Before Mikael finished speaking, they slipped in through the crack in the door. The voices of three girls talking soon sounded in the operating room.

As for Bronya, she naturally stayed in the other ward to take care of Xier.

"After all, this is not a surgery in the strict sense. If the Herrscher's core can be removed by physical means, it will be much easier to fight against the Herrscher. Not to mention that the desire gem exists in Wendy's body in a way that is different from that of ordinary Herrschers. The core is quite complicated, and it is almost dissolved in her entire lower body in a certain way. "

There is indeed no problem with this statement. Theresa knew that he might have used some ability that he did not want to be seen, so she completed this "surgery" alone that had nothing to do with medicine.

"Then, if there's no problem, I'll leave first."

Mikael took off the dispensable mask, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket. He looked past Theresa and towards Himeko, who was sitting on the bench and saw that after everything was over, she was ready to solve her sleeping problem on the spot. Nod in greeting.

Then, before leaving, he asked seemingly casually:

"Where's Fu Hua? Wendy should stay in the academy's combat class for a period of time to observe, right? She, the class president, won't come to see the new classmates?"

"They've been tired all day. As the principal of the school, I asked them all to rest. Why, do you have any opinion?"

"Of course not."

Mikael raised his arms playfully and glanced sideways into the operating room.

"Well, isn't there anyone who hasn't gone to rest?"

Theresa suddenly wanted to kick the man in front of her. It's obviously an ordinary conversation, but why is it so sarcastic?

This guy, doesn’t he want to work under her hands? !

…………

"Yo, here comes the thing."

Mikael walked into Otto's personal office somewhat casually.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, when you came last time, I just wanted to say that although the battleship you are riding on is nearly half smaller than the Hyperion, the interior is really luxurious like a palace. Tsk, the ground is all plated A layer of gold... Well, there is no such thing on the toilet Is it also gold-plated? Oops, I remembered again that your entire ship can’t be called a battleship. After all, it doesn’t even have a naval gun, right? Why don’t you call it a hanging garden? Are there any flowers on your boat?"

Otto did not answer immediately, but crossed his hands to his lips, enjoying Mikael's performance indifferently and quietly.

"Forget it, you guy, you are so interesting in front of others, but you stop pretending when you get here?"

"Just because I'm in front of you, I don't need any disguise."

Otto leaned forward slightly - although humans no longer need to use primitive tools to compete with tigers and leopards for prey on the savannah as they did tens of thousands of years ago, some instincts are engraved in genes, such as Otto's posture , maybe it's just an unconscious action, but it can easily give people a sense of oppression. The reason is also very simple, because this is what most animals will do before hunting.

If you want to sprint, you must step back half a step to accumulate strength. If you want to pounce on the prey, you must lower your upper body. Although they already know each other well, the two men in this room are still doing everything. It's the same thing, but the form of showing it is different.

They all know that although it is not far away, it is indeed not yet the moment when the swords and swords confront each other. It's just that every time they meet, their bodies react instinctively.

After all, Mikael felt that in Otto's eyes, he must be the one he had to kill.

Finally, Mikael put away his joking expression, and Otto also sat up straight, spreading his hands on the table, palms up.

The two faced off in the most direct way for more than ten seconds. Finally, Mikael slowly walked to Otto's desk and put the suitcase on the table.

"What you asked for has been brought."

Pressing the snap button and opening the box, Mikael turned it over and pushed it in front of Otto.

There were green gems lying quietly in the box. It did not make any sound, but the two people present could feel the vibrations coming from the "dead thing", which was similar to a heartbeat.

Otto directly reached out and grasped the Herrscher Core. An ordinary person, even a Valkyrie, would not dare to touch the Herrscher Core so directly, but Otto's soul steel body... it didn't matter.

He put the gem in his palm and rubbed it, and then said casually:

"What a pity. Siren had six gems in her heyday. After removing the core of Herrscher of Reason and Herrscher of Sky, there are still four. Among them, the Conquest Gem has spawned a brand-new Herrscher. The Disease Gem is in Destiny. In my hand, now that the Gem of Desire has returned to its place, the last Gem of Tranquility is missing..."

Otto raised his chin and glanced at Mikael with his peripheral vision.

"I heard that this gem was stolen by Cocolia before... Oops, Bianca fought against Cocolia's troops in South America a few days ago. If I had known, I would have ordered her to try to regain the Silence Stone. Hmm. ... Maybe it’s okay to pick it up on the way back? After all, only when all the gems are complete can Sirin exert her strongest strength... I’m afraid, this gem is no longer in Cocolia’s hands, right?”

Mikael shrugged. He originally didn't want to hand over the Silence Stone, of course that was based on the original plan. Now that the situation has changed, he has to make corresponding adjustments.

"for you."

A blue light flashed past, and in the lightning flash, Otto's left hand clenched his fist in front of his cheek.

"You can choose a gentler approach."

Otto complained, that's all.

He put down his fist, turned the back of his hand downward, and slowly opened his fingers. There was no doubt that the Silence Gem was in his palm.

"Hahahaha! Hahahahaha!"

Otto covered his forehead and laughed. He directly recovered two Herrscher cores in just a few minutes. It was hard to say that he was in a bad mood.

But being in a good mood and getting carried away is just an illusion to make the other person relax. In his heart, there is only one outcome that can be called victory, and every step achieved before that is not worthy of his joy.

As a result, his laughter suddenly stopped when it reached its peak, and was replaced by a deliberately lowered question:

"It seems that your plan has changed?"

It is a very simple reasoning. Although both of them need only the power of space, it is more in line with their demands to let Siren wake up in the most complete form. Under this situation, Mikael hid the Silence Gem himself. Obviously he needed this in his original plan, maybe to make himself a "multi-core" Herrscher like Siren. No, this is not necessarily the case, Austrian From some of the information Tuo has seen, this First Herrscher seems to also have the power of other Herrschers, and it seems to be much more flexible than simply constructing the "Key of God". That might be left to another person, or to something else. In short, he chose to hide the Silence Gem.

Otto himself just mentioned it casually, not expecting that Mikael would hand over the gem so simply.

Apart from the change in the other party's plan, Otto could not think of any other more convincing explanation.

In response, Mikael just sneered twice and said calmly:

"Ah, I just suddenly remembered something. Since Herrschers like Xilin will unconsciously transfer their consciousness to the Herrscher core before death, then... how to ensure that those consciousnesses are only stored in the core of the Herrscher? What about the Herrscher core? You did a little test in Siberia a few years ago? , right. I read the report you gave me. Xilin's consciousness only appeared for a short time that time. It cannot be ruled out that her personality was scattered among the other gems. In order to ensure that she can fully awaken, it is still necessary. You put all the gems into K423’s body, didn’t you?”

Otto shook his head and laughed. He wanted to learn the details of Mikael's new plan. After all, in the past two years, Mikael should have already dug up and guessed his arrangements. He had no idea about Mikael's plan except for a general goal. This was not the situation between partners. But he didn't expect the other party to give him no face at all, which was really annoying.

Okay, since the other party wanted to use such a stupid excuse to get away with it, Otto thought he should take it. It was also a step for everyone to step down together. If they really pushed too hard...

It's not the moment of fighting yet, it's just that the cooperation between the two sides has not yet reached a result, but if they really push too hard, what's wrong with not cooperating? Otto admitted that the reason he wanted to cooperate with the other party was just out of "fear", fear of the other party's unparalleled power, or even just an inadvertent damage to his plan. Then why did Mikael choose to cooperate with him? According to Yulandel's report on the other party's combat power, Otto felt that it must not be for the same reason as himself.

And if cooperation is not out of fear, then it is for profit, or to put it bluntly, in Mikael's eyes, he Otto may not be a collaborator, but a chess piece that can benefit his own plan.

The cooperation between the two parties is not equal. Of course, Otto is not afraid of the other party. He prepared many gifts for one of the murderers who killed Kallen five hundred years ago, but his reason told him that it is better not to go to that step.

Then bow your head for the time being, it's not the first time. In order to give her a second life, he can do anything, even give up his pride again and again and bow to the murderer who killed her. Besides, the other party is not much better.

However, in the mind of a normal person, it would not be considered a bow, right? Otto Apokalis smiled again, laughing at his pride from his blood, reflecting his own outline on the lacquer surface of the table. But as we all know, there are two sources of pride, one is extreme self-confidence, and the other... is extreme inferiority.

"Really? It's you who has considered it so carefully. I almost neglected it. However, if K423 is given so many Herrscher cores at once, her body will not be able to support it for long if she cannot fully control the power of the Herrscher."

Otto wiped away all the emotions that he shouldn't have, and stated in a flat tone.

"Well, yes, but isn't this the result that both of us need?"

The two smiled at each other, and saw the same indifference and coldness in each other's eyes.

Mikael didn't bother to talk too much. He had completed the first step he had agreed with Otto, and even offered an extra gift. He didn't seem to want to entangle anymore, and turned around neatly.

However, before he took a step, he turned half of his face to the side again.

"Ah, by the way, take this opportunity to take K423 directly to the headquarters."

At the moment they looked at each other, the two saw exactly the same thing in each other's eyes again-

Tense, expectant, crazy and determined.

After a while, Otto slowly leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, and looked at his nails casually while asking in a condescending tone:

"Have you thought of a reason?"

"Humph."

Mikael made a faint nasal sound, but did not care about the other party's almost negligible hostility.

"I've thought about it a long time ago. Seele's condition is complicated, and I can't do anything about it. I need to go to the headquarters to find a treatment plan. In addition, the three Valkyries, Kiana Kaslana, Raiden Mei and Bronya Zaychek, performed well in the two collapses in Canghai City and New Zealand. Combined with their past performance, they are specially allowed to become A-level Valkyries. However, according to convention, a promotion ceremony must be held at the headquarters, and the Valkyrie files must be updated. How about this reason? Don't worry, I know K423 well enough. She absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot refuse this reason."

Otto laughed again, but the laughter was a little suppressed and a little low.

After a while, a golden light flashed, and he had two more glasses of wine in his hand.

"Come, celebrate the complete success of the first phase of our cooperation. And wish the same for the second phase of our cooperation."
