"What's going on!"
Sun Jie heard something was wrong outside and quickly switched to the cameras on the outer ring of the Himalayas.
He then saw a spacecraft carrier, several kilometers long like a sword, rigidly plunging into the metal shell of the Himalayas; the shields of the Himalayas could no longer hold!
The situation was extremely critical! If it continued like this, they were really going to die!
Sun Jie turned his head and stared intently at the cyber succubus in front of him. According to the expression on #43, the only breakthrough lay in Hopelily, who he wasn't sure was dead or alive!
"Hey! Do you want to go back to your stupid husband!" Sun Jie grabbed Hopelily and shouted at her.
"Um!" Hopelily, tearful, quickly nodded.
"Good! I'll take you to her!" Sun Jie grabbed her and flew outside. "Tapai! Prepare the Hover Shuttle!"
Soon, the extremely fast Hover Shuttle carried Sun Jie and Hopelily from inside the Himalayas into a fiercely intense battlefield. After dodging a swarm of nanoworms with rapid flight, they arrived in front of the vast expanse of spacecraft carriers.
Sun Jie knew that #43 was on one of them, but it was very difficult to quickly identify which one under these circumstances.
After much thought, Sun Jie had no choice but to use a desperate measure.
Sun Jie activated the holographic projection mode of the Hover Shuttle, projecting his and Hopelily's images into mid-air. "Hey! #43! Look who this is!!"
Saying this, he wrapped his arms around Hopelily and pretended to kiss her on the mouth.
"My God!" Old Six's face of despair almost pressed against the glass, staring dumbfounded at the scene.
In the midst of the fierce battlefield, this sudden spectacle was incredibly striking, especially since one of them was his lover.
"Sun Jie!" Hearing #43's infuriated roar, Sun Jie immediately understood that he had finally caught the other's attention.
Sun Jie, facing the myriad combat units, thought fast and shouted loud through the Hover Shuttle's microphone, "I absolutely assure you, she is real! If you don't believe it, I can send her over to you right now! Without any conditions!"
After hearing this, the intense battlefield eventually came to a halt again, with everyone watching Sun Jie as he carried Hopelily out of the Hover Shuttle.
"She's fake! Kill Sun Jie immediately!" & Seeing this scene, infuriated, activated the nanoneurotoxin inside #43's body.
Feeling the pain in his body increasing, but as Hopelily came closer, #43's expression grew very complex, "I... I just want to verify one more time. I just want to confirm one more time! I can kill him after I confirm!"
& wanted to say more, but #43 directly blocked them. Although this might infuriate his own BOSS, in his heart, Hopelily was more important than anything, and he couldn't let go of even a sliver of possibility.
The door of a spacecraft carrier slowly opened, a tractor beam shot down from the ship, pulling Sun Jie and Hopelily, gradually drawing them in.
"Confirmed, #43 is on that spacecraft carrier, let's kill him!" But Tapai's plan was vetoed by Sun Jie, "It's useless."
Under the guidance of the traction beams, Sun Jack and Hopelily arrived at the empty landing pad. As soon as they touched down, several laser beams instantly pierced through Sun Jack's arm, vaporizing the hand that was holding Hopelily.
The transparent isolation glass descended from above, immediately separating the two.
At that moment, Number 43 could hardly wait any longer and deactivated the dynamic thermoptic camouflage armor as he rushed towards Hopelily.
When the two embraced tightly, feeling each other's lips touching their ears and the slender metal devil's tail coiling around their fingers, tears instantly welled up in Number 43's eyes. This was Hopelily; only she would know the significance of such small details!
"Number 43, I missed you so much, I really missed you! What in the world happened! What happened?" Listening to Hopelily's words beside him, even though his body hurt more and more, he felt it was all worth it.
"Number 43! I did what I promised! I brought her to you! We have no grudges anymore! It was all a misunderstanding from the start!" Sun Jack shouted through the glass.
Number 43 let go of Hopelily, a complex expression on his face as he looked through the glass at Sun Jack. "Thank you, but it's too late now, there's no chance left."
Sun Jack clenched his fist, forcefully smashing the glass, seizing this rare opportunity, and quickly said, "No!! There is still a chance! We've resolved our conflict!"
"You know the company's style of conducting business—once I'm dead, you're worthless too. Taking your wife to FFP will end badly for you!"
"You're from Metropolis too! You know what my reputation as Borrow King is like! I absolutely keep my word!"
"Since we have no grievances now! You can take your wife and join me—"
"Enough!" Number 43 roared, pulling Hopelily behind him, glaring fiercely at Sun Jack.
"You're not wrong, but there's no chance now, it's too late, far too late!" Number 43 lowered his head. "But it's really too late…"
Hearing this, Sun Jack's heart sank. "Is this guy so stubborn?"
Just when he thought his persuasion had failed, he saw the glass wall before him slowly rise. Number 43's index finger morphed rapidly, revealing metallic equipment beneath, which he pressed gently against Hopelily's body.
The next second, Hopelily, shaking her head as if to say something, suddenly went limp and collapsed into his arms.
Number 43, holding the unconscious Hopelily, handed her over to Sun Jack with a complex expression.
"You're right, I can't let Hopelily be touched by FFP. That company is too terrifying. She's better off with me, or else she'll be doomed. I can become a dog for FFP, but I absolutely cannot let her become the company's bitch!"
"Then you mean..." Sun Jack looked at the succubus in his arms, not understanding for a moment.
"In order to confront you, I researched many things about you. The more I learned, the more I thought you were an idiot, but I'd prefer to hand Hopelily over to an idiot like you rather than to FFP."
"She can go with you, but... I can't, it's too late for me now, I can't turn back."
Number 43 gazed lovingly at Hopelily's beautiful face. "To love someone doesn't mean possessing them; as long as I can ensure her safe survival, I'm willing to sacrifice everything, including my life!"
Having said this, he stared arrogantly at Sun Jack. "See! This is love! Can you do that! I can be a legend of Metropolis too! I'm not any worse than you!"
"Sun Jack! Such invaluable experiences aren't something a big shot who only cares about major affairs would understand!!"
