Chapter 200: Coming Back

"Do we need to go to Long City?" Lai Su fidgeted as he looked at Lyca. He had been so stressed out when he discovered Lyca was planning to go to Long City and present her new bullet— the one that had been stronger and more efficient than the previous one. When Lyca didn't answer him, Lai Su decided to shut up and turned his head the other way. They were currently in a car with Lyca dressed as a man, her hair was short and black and well… even her mannerisms were different.

According to her, she is now using her real identity, Tang Xi. Someone from the Tang Family and they are going to show up in the yearly investor's convention where they will present the bullet and gain millions if not billions of money from investors. She specifically mentioned how they are only a start-up company and that this should gather a lot of attention.

"What if the Long Family will want to buy our input?" the cover story is quite simple, Lai Su would say he made the bullet from his research but he is working for Tang Xi. "You know… that would make me the target right? You are using me as bait right? Miss Xi… we haven't talked about this."

"I want them to come to me," Lyca uttered. "Using your name as a famous researcher is better than using my name. An unknown man. Don't worry about it… the Tang Family will support me." Tang Xi was a part of the Tang Family before she left Long City.

Her background had been cleared as well as Lai Su's. "You— " Lai Su gulped. "Please don't tell me that— " he lowered his head, his hand balled into fists. If one would think about it carefully, the timing of his resignation seemed too coincidental. People would now think he resigned because he finally succeeded in making the bullet. He then sold it to Tang Xi. 

He couldn't help but wonder if she planned this ahead of time. "Please don't tell me that you are planning to have me killed."

"No." Lyca needed this man's skills and title. After all, he was once a famous researcher who had been thrown away after he perfected his research. Isn't it more logical for an old man like him who is obsessed with experiments to try and make a comeback? "Your name will once again make the research community shock. Isn't that what you wanted?"

"But I didn't make this? Miss Xi… as much as I want to be recognized, I can't just reap the benefits of something I didn't do." This was his pride as a researcher, as a human who loves to know more about the world. "Why not just put your name to— "

"Too lazy." Imagine being asked by other researchers and scientists about chemicals and other processes. Just the thought of it is already making her tired. Plus, Lyca had an extreme allergy to socializing. She wouldn't be able to stand and act cordially with everyone. 

"…"

"Don't worry. Just play your role, and everything will be good." Lyca assured him before she handed him a USB. "That will be the price for helping me. It's unfinished research about uranium and plutonium. I didn't finish it because I got bored." When she came into this world, Lyca was itching to understand all the aspects of earth and find ways to come back to her previous world.

She had studied everything from the animals to the rocks and gasses. Of course, she once looked into metals and atoms. She had stumbled into the two as she thought it would become the key in creating a big explosion that would open up a huge portal to the other world.

Of course, Lyca had to give up on the idea when she realized it sounded too dangerous and would probably kill a lot of humans. Suddenly, Shen Qui's face flashed in her mind. She lifted an eyebrow before she looked at Lai Su. "I don't need it anymore."

She no longer had the thought of going back in that world. And she was certain the idea would never cross her mind again.

"Really?" As expected, the man beamed and hugged the flash drive, as if it was a prized possession. It was as if he had forgotten the dangers that came along with becoming the creator of this bullet. Without even waiting for her to nod her head, Lai Su was already on his laptop. He checked the contents of the flash drive and laughed out loud. A reaction Lyca had already expected. The experiment she did was pretty harmful to the human body, and she was certain the only reason she survived was because of her internal energy. It could dispel the radiation just liked it dispelled the drugs Long Yi gave her on that night that he wanted to r*pe her.

"Alright… since Miss Xi is sincere. Then I will agree to become the creator of whatever it is that you make. For now." He said. "This will not continue forever."

"Really?" She gave a sly smile. "Even if… I have more research like that?"

"Alright. Forget I said that." He waved his hand before he started reading the research results, his smile was so big, Lyca feared he won't be able to close his mouth because of a muscle problem from smiling to much.

After seeing this, Lyca turned her head outside of the car. They just entered Long City, and in a few hours, she will soon see the people who betrayed the Huang Family.

But first, she is planning to send them another present.

Lyca started beaming as she dialed Yi'an's number. "Hey... I am already in Long City. Please send it to Huang Ying's office and another one to the Zhang Family's house."

"You sure about this?" she heard the hesitation in Yi'an's voice. "I mean... wouldn't that mean they will start thinking you are coming back?"

"Sister Yi'an. I am coming back, and yes, I want them to know that." Wouldn't it be fun to terrorize them first before she showed herself?

Happy 200 chapters!
