After the Mansion Incident, the Umbrella executives held a meeting. During the discussion, they all agreed that the T-Virus outbreak could no longer be contained. It seemed they were already preparing countermeasures in case the virus spread reached the city.
However, they decided to try several options first ā such as detonating a number of facilities in the Arklay Mountains and forcibly shutting down certain projects to buy themselves more time.
Meanwhile, Spencer's whereabouts remained unknown, and he chose to stay silent. To him, none of this really mattered ā whether Umbrella collapsed or not. He had already calculated everything; if Umbrella were to fall, he would simply create a new company. For someone like him, with vast wealth and unlimited resources, such a task was trivial.
Meanwhile, Sergei was in the process of relocating one of Umbrella's key projects ā TALOS. As long as that project remained under Umbrella's control, even the U.S. government wouldn't dare to openly oppose them.
Back in Raccoon City, however, the news regarding S.T.A.R.S. was far from favorable. The city officials and police reported that their expedition had failed, with many of the tactical rescue members injured ā and even Captain Albert Wesker listed among the casualties.
This sparked intense curiosity among the media, who wanted to uncover what had really happened during the operation. But Chief Brian decided to shut everything down. He officially disbanded S.T.A.R.S. and reassigned its members as regular police officers, effectively burying the truth along with the incident.
Meanwhile, access to the Arklay Mountains was now under strict lockdown by the R.P.D., completely sealed off so that no one was allowed to enter the area. This was done under direct orders from Chief Brian, who was following instructions from Umbrella.
As for Allenāwho was still peacefully asleep beside his girlsāhe didn't seem to care much about any of that.
...
Meanwhile, in the underground laboratory, William was walking toward his lab when his assistant approached him.
"Dr. William, my condolences⦠I heard the news about your wife and daughter," said Daniel.
William simply nodded, as if it didn't matter. Daniel, seeing his reaction, could only shake his head.
"Does this man really not care about his family? Then again⦠they never seemed that close. He's always buried in his research," he thought silently.
After a brief pause, Daniel walked away to continue his other tasks.
William, on the other hand, pulled out his phoneāhe was planning to contact the military to arrange when they could extract him.
....
In the morning, Allen was already awake as usual. There, he saw Svetlana cooking for him.
"Well, this is new. Are you the one cooking now?" said Allen as he walked toward Svetlana.
"What, do you think I can't cook? You'd better not get too closeābe a good boy and wait over there," said Svetlana, telling Allen to sit at the dining table.
"Tsk, fine," said Allen, giving up his intention to tease Svetlana.
Seeing Allen's behavior, Svetlana almost laughed. Honestly, she didn't really mind if Allen decided to "eat" her instead, but at least for their first night, she wanted it to happen somewhere special And not in the kitchen, of course.
In the afternoon, Allen, Alyssa, Athena, Rebecca, Jill, Karena, and Svetlana went to a barāit seemed Enrico wanted to hold a farewell gathering since S.T.A.R.S. had officially been disbanded. They were seated in a private room on the second floor, and the place was fairly quiet.
"I still can't believe that bastard Brian really disbanded our team, and he even forced us to take a vacation, saying the S.T.A.R.S. members are suffering from trauma and hallucinations," said Enrico, already drunk.
"Hahaha, come on, Captain. At least we still get paid well while we're on vacation," said Joseph, clearly enjoying the idea of some time off.
"I told you before, it's pointless reporting anything to that man," said Allen, taking a sip of his beer.
At that moment, Barry arrived with his wife and two daughters. He looked a bit on edge, still traumatized and afraid that his family might be kidnapped againāso now, wherever they went, he kept a close watch on them.
"Hey, did you guys wait long?" asked Barry.
"No, come on, join us. Sit and have a drink," said Allen, moving aside to make room for him. Meanwhile, Barry's wife, Kathy, and their two little girls, Moira and Polly, joined the other women at a separate table.
"Pretty rare to see you bring your wife here," said Allen.
"Yeah, well, can't be helped. I still get nightmares lately⦠I even keep my gun by the bed, though my wife's been complaining about it," Barry said with a sigh.
"It's okay, man. They're safe now," said Chris, understanding Barry's situation well.
"Alright, since everyone's here, I want to give you all something as a farewell gift for our team," said Allen as he pulled a suitcase onto the table. When he opened it, inside were several bracelets identical to the one he wore.
"What's this, a bracelet?" asked Joseph, touching one before putting it on. But suddenly, the bracelet activatedāand Joseph's clothes instantly transformed into a tight combat suit that covered his entire body.
"Ahhh⦠WTF!" yelled Joseph in shock.
"Hahahahaha!" Allen burst out laughing at his reaction.
"Allen, what is this thing?" asked Enrico curiously, ignoring Joseph, who was still flailing around while everyone else laughed at him. No matter how hard he tried to pull it off, the suit wouldn't budgeāit was incredibly strong.
"Well, this is a combat suit I've been developing. You remember the last mission, right? The girls and I were wearing the same kind of suit. It can withstand blunt force, explosions, even high-caliber gunfire," Allen explained.
Joseph finally stopped struggling and stood up. "Hey, Allen! Why are you only giving us cool stuff like this now?" he said, half-joking, half-serious.
"Come on, Joseph. At least we made it out alive last time," said Edward, still grateful to be aliveāand that Allen had managed to save his arm.
"Ah, sorry about that," Allen said with a small smile. "This was just a side project of mine, so I didn't mass-produce it." He then went on to explain the suit's functions and capabilities in detail.
"Take one eachāand if you have family or someone you care about, take an extra for them," Allen added, glancing toward Barry.
"Thank you, Allen," said Barry sincerely. With this, he felt he could finally protect his family better, easing a bit of his paranoia.
Meanwhile, Chris looked down at the bracelet in his hand, thinking he might take twoāone for himself, and one for his sister, Claire.
All the S.T.A.R.S. members thanked Allen for the gifts he had given them.
"Thank you, Allen. We owe you a lot. If you ever get into trouble or need anything, don't hesitate to call us," said Enrico.
"Yeah, same hereādon't forget to call me too," Barry added, and the others echoed the same sentiment.
"Alright, alright⦠Oh, by the way, what are your plans from here on out?" Allen asked with a smile.
"We're planning to reach out to the main S.T.A.R.S. branch in New York for help with this case," Enrico replied.
"Yeah, we're hoping that way the whole thing can finally be exposed," Chris added.
Allen then looked at the others.
"As for me, I think I'll leave this city and start a new life and career somewhere else," said Edward, apologizing as he still seemed somewhat traumatized by the Mansion Incidentāespecially after everything that happened to him.
"You should take my advice and get out of this city as soon as possible. Barry, you should also take your family and leave while you can," Enrico said firmly.
"Oh, if any of you are looking for a new job, I can offer positions at my new offices in New York and L.A. Don't worryāthe pay's really good," Allen said casually.
"Well, my wife's always wanted to live there anyway, so I guess I'll take you up on that," Barry said, clearly interested in Allen's offer.
"Of course. Just contact me once you arriveāI'll give you the office address then," Allen replied.
"What kind of office are you planning to build there, anyway?" Chris asked curiously.
"I'm planning to open a food supply warehouse. Well, later on, I might also develop new business ideasālike online shops and such," Allen said, remembering his past life working as an online delivery courier.
"So, Allen, what about you? What are your plans from here on outāare you leaving the city too?" Chris asked.
"For now, no. I still need to investigate a few things here," Allen replied while glancing toward Jill, Athena, and Rebecca, who were playfully spending time with Moira and Polly. The sight made him smile.
"Well, it looks like for now, I'll focus on getting them out of the city first. I don't want them anywhere near danger," Allen said.
Chris followed Allen's gaze and just smiled, shaking his head. He couldn't help but think how different Allen's love life was compared to his own.
"Well, I really admire you, Allen," said Joseph, giving him a thumbs-up.
Enrico, hearing Allen's words, suddenly got an idea to divide the tasks.
"In that case, how about we split up our duties? It'll be difficult for us to sneak around and investigate Umbrella since we're probably being watched right now. I have a plan to investigate one of Umbrella's other branches," said Enrico.
"In that case, I'll try to look into one of Umbrella's branches in Europe," said Chris while glancing at Joseph.
"Hey, don't worry, I'm not leaving my partner behind ā I'm going with Chris," said Joseph.
"Yeah, let's use our so-called 'vacation' as a cover to investigate Umbrella. That way, they won't get suspicious," added Kenneth.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Enrico decided to stay in the city for a while to wait for a response from headquarters, while the others planned to go to Europe. The remaining members, those who were still injured or had families, decided to leave the city to find a safer place for their loved ones.
.....
After leaving the bar, Allen escorted Athena and Jill to the helicopter pad, accompanied by Alyssa, Rebecca and Svetlana. Lupo was already there waiting for them.
"Be careful on your trip," said Allen, kissing Athena, Lupo, and Jill before they boarded.
Not long after, the helicopter took off, leaving the city behind.
As for Rebecca, she still refused to leave. She wanted to stay by Allen's side, no matter what. Even though Allen tried to persuade her to go, it seemed her decision was final ā and there was nothing Allen could do about it.
And as for Alyssa, she said she was still busy here and felt safer staying by Allen's side ā so Allen had no choice but to give up on that as well.
.....
Meanwhile, in L.A., Excella had just arrived and was now driving a luxury car toward a mansion gate by the seaside ā the place where Raviel and the other girls lived. After her identity was verified, the mansion gates opened, and she was allowed to enter by Bertha, who was currently on guard duty.
"You can wait here," said Bertha, motioning for her to sit in the living room. She didn't seem too fond of the girl, finding her rather arrogant. Bertha then went inside to inform Raviel about Excella's arrival.
"Thank you, Michaela," said Raviel as she stood up. "Hey, Aphrodite, Hera ā want to come along?"
"Of course," they both replied in unison. After that, they walked together toward the living room to meet the guest.
Excella, who was sitting comfortably on the sofa, couldn't help but be amazed when she saw the three stunningly beautiful women approach her. They took seats on the sofa across from her, and Excella quickly stood up to introduce herself.
"So, what's your purpose in coming here, Excella?" asked Raviel, her voice graceful and melodic.
"I want to discuss a business plan with Allen, so I'd like to meet him in private," said Excella, trying to leave a good impression on the women ā after all, she knew they were Allen's wives.
"So you're planning to go to Raccoon City? Are you sure? You know things there are a bit chaotic right now," said Raviel.
"Yes, I don't mind. As long as I can continue my business with him, I'll do whatever it takes," said Excella. In truth, she had been under pressure from the Travis family lately.
"Whatever it takes?" Aphrodite asked, clearly intrigued by her response.
Excella nodded. "Yes, whatever it takes."
"Good. In that case, why don't you come with me?" said Aphrodite with a mischievous smile ā clearly planning something.
Thirty minutes later, Excella was starting to regret that decision. She was now serving as a masseuse for the women, kneading Aphrodite's back while wondering how she ended up like this. But she had no choice ā if she wanted to meet Allen, she had to accept whatever tasks his wives gave her first.
"Ahhh, yes⦠right there. Your hands feel really good," sighed Aphrodite, clearly enjoying herself as Excella massaged her back.
