Chapter 118:
"This condition... Eddie, I still have to think about it." Yoko Suzuki lowered her head.
"The project's development took a long time; it took many years. I don't want my members disturbed by emotional problems!" Eddie is trying to convince.
"And I'll tell you a secret."
Yoko Suzuki tilted her head; she asked curiously, "What secret?"
"If you *cough* agree to it. When the fifteen-year requirement passes, you don't want to get married. I'll pay for your future life and take responsibility, so there's no need to worry." Eddie whispered 'secret' in Suzuki's ear softly.
Svetlana could hear the man's whisper, but she remained silent while smiling. She knows Eddie's true intentions.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I hate you!" Yoko Suzuki lowered her head shyly, but she didn't resist.
"Suzuki, I'm serious."
"Okay, I promise I'll join your team. I hope you won't try to betray me the way Umbrella did."
"No problem, I'll keep my promise," Eddie replied seriously.
"Hmm, I believe you, you bad guy." Yoko Suzuki smiled.
"If you're free, you can go to my apartment or look for me." Eddie threw a key at Suzuki.
"All right, be careful on the road, Eddie-Kun!" Suzuki smiled sweetly.

Alyssa is a freelance journalist who's still active in Raccoon City. She knew something had gone wrong since she sent the paper to the media; the article she had written had been cut and edited in various places!
She secretly tried to investigate evidence of the criminality that Umbrella had committed, but she couldn't get into the basement and the Umbrella Center in person.
The public image of the Umbrella is very upright in this city; at least more than fifty thousand people are working under Umbrella. The research she's doing has reached a stalemate.
As a last resort, Alyssa could only hire a skilled computer hacker to investigate the Umbrella deeper.
The direction she gave was none other than to find evidence of cooperation between the top management of Raccoon City and Umbrella. She wants to reveal this dirty deal to the public!
Even though it's past the agreed day count, there's still no word from the hacker she hired. This made Alyssa feel a little anxious.
In despair, Alyssa could only summon the only person she trusted. The man who was going to help her was none other than Eddie! The hero that took her on a mission to explore the Arklay forest hospital!
"Alyssa, what's wrong?" Eddie came straight to Alyssa's apartment.
"I commissioned a hacker to investigate evidence of bribes and transactions between Brian, Michael, and Umbrella. And now, the hacker is gone!" Alyssa said with a scowl.
