Chapter 403: The Angel Organization
Looking at the overbearing Wang Liu Mei, Tolle could only helplessly lie with a straight face. "Liu Mei, it's not that I didn't want to see you. I had an order with the [Human Reform League] before.
Because of the confidentiality agreement, I had no choice. You see, I haven't even gone traveling lately. I've been busy working the whole time."
"A man's mouth is a liar's ghost. As if I'd believe you," Wang Liu Mei said with a disdainful curl of her lips. Then she continued angrily, "Don't think I don't know—you're just like your father. How did I end up stuck with a fiancé like you?"
Tolle looked at Wang Liu Mei, her cute twin buns hairstyle, dressed in a red cheongsam, puffing her cheeks in an adorably indignant way. He couldn't resist stepping forward and pinching her cheek.
"What are you doing?!" Startled like a frightened bird, Wang Liu Mei quickly stepped back, baring her teeth at Tolle like a little cat.
"Sorry, sorry." Tolle immediately let go, scratching the back of his head awkwardly. "Liu Mei, you looked so cute just now. I couldn't help myself."
"At least you know better." Hearing his praise, Wang Liu Mei crossed her arms and muttered softly, then turned her head away with an arrogant expression. "As punishment for not contacting your fiancée for so long, you're spending the whole day with me today. No objections, right?"
Tolle felt that this little fox wouldn't come for no reason—she was probably setting him up on purpose. But since that was the case, he wouldn't hold back either.
He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Wang Liu Mei's waist, catching her completely off guard.
"Ah!" Startled, she struggled desperately to break free from his embrace, but no matter what she did, she couldn't escape.
"Liu Mei, you're so good to me." Tolle seized the opportunity to lift her firmly, leaving her no chance to run, and spun her around in a full 360-degree circle.
"Put me down! Stop! You're going to make me dizzy!"
"Sorry, Liu Mei. I got too excited just now." Tolle gently set her down, putting on a deeply apologetic expression.
Hong Long, standing to the side, twitched slightly at the sight. But since Tolle and Wang Liu Mei were engaged, he had no grounds to intervene.
Having had enough, Wang Liu Mei stopped pretending and said directly, "Alright. I'm taking you somewhere. There are some things I need to discuss with you."
Tolle guessed it was most likely related to Celestial Being, but he still couldn't resist teasing her. "Can't you just say it here? Why do we have to go out?"
Looking at Tolle playing dumb, Wang Liu Mei replied proudly, "Come or don't. Up to you."
With that, she turned and walked away. Hong Long nodded at Tolle and silently followed behind her.
Tolle couldn't help but complain inwardly—why was she so quick to retreat whenever things didn't go her way?
He quickly followed, slipping his arm through Wang Liu Mei's and saying, "If my dear wife has spoken, of course I'll go."
Wang Liu Mei shook her arm several times, but she had no way to deal with Tolle's shameless persistence and eventually had no choice but to let him cling to her.
Tolle looked at her smugly and thought to himself: Trying to outplay me? You're still too green. Let's see how I don't completely handle this little fox.
When they reached the car at the entrance, Tolle immediately let go of Wang Liu Mei and opened the rear door for her. "After you, my dear."
He gently guided her into the inner seat, then quickly sat down beside her, firmly holding her left hand.
Unable to break free, Wang Liu Mei said irritably, "Hong Long, drive. To the place we reserved."
"Yes, Miss." Hong Long helplessly watched his younger sister being taken advantage of, but he couldn't step in to stop it. He silently took the driver's seat and drove them to their prearranged destination.
Tolle, meanwhile, discreetly attached neo DG Cells to both of them, just in case.
After all, Wang Liu Mei looked quite beautiful now. But in the second season, she seemed to age poorly, just like Saji. If necessary, he might as well intervene in her physical development.
Upon arriving at the presidential suite of the hotel, Tolle saw a mature silver-haired woman wearing glasses already seated inside. Although the hair on the left side covered half her face, a faint scar could still be seen.
Tolle immediately recognized her as the head of the Angel Organization, Sherilyn Akesdika.
He was momentarily stunned. Wasn't VEDA supposed to recommend him to Celestial Being? Why had he been recommended instead to Angel, Celestial Being's reserve support organization?
Before the surprised Tolle could react, Sherilyn stepped forward first. After sizing him up, she said warmly, "Long time no see, Dax. I didn't expect you to have grown so much."
Being called "little brother" again—this must be another mess left by his future self. Tolle could only respond cautiously, "Sister Sherilyn, it's been a long time."
He squeezed out a few tears and stepped forward to hug her gently, taking the opportunity to feel her generous embrace.
Sherilyn, unreserved, lightly patted his back. "Dax, you've grown up now. You're a real man. You can't cry like you did when you were little."
Not knowing how to respond, Tolle changed the subject. "That's only because I missed you so much, Sister Sherilyn."
He wiped away the few tears and gently touched the scar on her face, probing carefully. "Sister Sherilyn, how have you been lately? Does it still hurt?"
Sherilyn held his hand, closed her eyes, and looked as if she were enjoying the moment. "It's much better now. It doesn't hurt constantly like before."
Tolle couldn't help wondering if she had a bit of a brother complex—why was she closing her eyes like she was savoring it?
He knew that the scar and her silver hair were the result of an accident involving the second-generation unit Gundam Astraea, when its solar furnace went out of control and she was exposed to a massive amount of red GN particles.
Gundam pilots of the same era, Ruido Resonance and Marene Vlady—Feldt Grace's parents—had exposed themselves to the same red GN particles in order to rescue Sherilyn, who was trapped inside Gundam Astraea when the core fighter failed to separate properly.
As a result, all their cellular tissue necrosed, and they died.
Her body had also suffered irreversible damage. Her brown hair had completely turned silver. Not only did she bear scars on her face, but her entire body developed cellular regeneration disorders.
To survive, she had no choice but to implant nanomachines into her body to suppress the condition. Even so, she lived in constant pain.
She was truly someone to be pitied.
