foreigner's journey

Chapter 414 Evil Hero
The sky city Midgar, the top floor of the Shinra headquarters building, the president's office.

The spacious president's office has been completely renovated, and all the furniture and decorations have been completely replaced according to the personal aesthetic taste of the new president, Rufas.The afterglow of the setting sun spills into the office through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, reflecting a different kind of beauty.

In the office, Tax's supervisor [Zeng] was wearing a black suit and was reporting information to Rufas while standing at a gorgeous desk.

Rufas was sitting on the large and comfortable leather swivel chair, resting his chin on one hand, lost in thought.

"...Kingdee Amusement Park was destroyed at least 1/3 of the venue, and the number of casualties is more than 3000, and this does not include the tens of thousands of missing people."

He once reported in detail the consulting information he collected from various sources:

"According to the descriptions of the survivors, they saw a silver-haired man with wings fighting fiercely with a huge dragon man in the air, followed by several legendary summoned beasts, including the mysterious giant thunder wolf. There is no doubt , a fierce battle broke out between Heather and his party and Sephiroth at the Kingdie Playground, and the thing they are fighting for should be the treasure held by the city lord Dio."

"...City Lord Dio is sure he is dead?"

Rufas looked up at Zeng, who bowed respectfully:
"Multiple evidences show that the city lord Dio died under the sword of Sephiroth, and the half-burned corpse excavated from the ruins of the city lord's fortress three days ago also confirms this."

Rufas leaned back on the sofa chair, tapped his index finger rhythmically on the desk, and said after a long time: "No matter what that treasure is, it must have fallen into the hands of Heather or Sephiroth." hand, there is no point in going further... what will happen to them afterwards?"

"Sephiroth's whereabouts are still unknown. Heather and his party said that the ferry went to the Wutai area."

"Wutai...I've already found out, the forbidden novel series "Evil Hero" that has been popular underground in Wutai these years is his work!"

Rufas slammed his fist on the table resentfully: "Father, it's okay, he actually vilified Shinra in the book into an evil company that only knows how to use 'erasure' to curb all opposition, and he also wrote me as A fool who wants to go his own way and likes to be flattered by his subordinates... bastard!"

In recent days, when Rufas traced Heather's past, he accidentally discovered that Heather was actually a best-selling novelist, which also explained why the other party had continuous sources of funds.Looking further down, Rufas' nose was almost twisted. It turned out that Heather's work was actually the "Evil Heroes" series of novels that Shinra has repeatedly banned over the years.

This series of novels follows a lone anti-heroic wandering warrior in a fantasy world ruled by the evil corporation 'Garemar'.Due to the fact that the descriptions of the Garlean Company are too similar to those of the Shinra Company, the novel was completely banned by Midgar soon after it was published.

But not long after, the "Evil Heroes" series of novels began to circulate in the Wutai underground market far away in the far west, and the novels became more expensive.There will never be a shortage of people who hate Shinra in the world, so this series of novels are selling very well. The Shinra Company, which just ended the war and accepted the surrender of Wutai, did not dare to force too much on Wutai in the Far West, so Wutai became a hotbed for the spread of the "Evil Heroes" series of novels to the world.

In the novel, the Garlean Company is basically a copy of the real Shinra Company. The president of Garlean, Gaius, is an ambitious man who likes to stand on the elevator and talk loudly. His son Zenos has the same personality as his father and loves to listen to His subordinates boast about him, and those he likes will call him a 'best friend'. Like Rufas, he is also a handsome man with blond hair.

The protagonist in the book calls himself the "Soldier of Darkness", and is known for his ruthless methods. He never shows mercy to the enemy, but occasionally shows a little kindness when facing the oppressed and weak people. Flying the flag against Garlean Corporation is quite cool.At present, the novel series has released the seventh "Evil Hero 7: The Revival of the Armored Dragon Army", and the people at the bottom of the world are knocking on the bowl and waiting for the update.

Although the novel is just a retelling of what Shinra has done, it is an unbearable insult to Shinra, especially Rufas, who regards himself as a hero who saves the world, how can he bear it?
Son of a bitch!If I knew it earlier, I would have installed remote-controlled explosives on that motorcycle!

Hammering the table and almost becoming a master of desktop cleaning, Rufas finally calmed down a little and straightened his messy blond hair: "Intensify surveillance, especially on Heather's side, don't let go of any clues..."

Drop drop-

At this time, Zeng's cell phone rang suddenly, and he apologized after getting Rufas's permission, and then connected the phone:
"Hey, it's me... um... I know where it is, what's wrong? Um... um? Send the photo right away!"

He hung up the phone and looked at Rufas: "The ancient temple located in the dense forest at the southernmost tip of the Eastern Continent has disappeared!"

"Disappeared?" Rufas frowned: "Is it the literal 'disappeared'?"

"According to eyewitness reports, the entire thing disappeared... Ah, wait a minute, the photos have been sent, please take a look."

Zeng handed the mobile phone to Rufas with both hands, and the latter took the mobile phone and looked at it, frowning even deeper.

In the photo on the mobile phone, there is an endless dense jungle. The camera shoots from the top down. There is an extremely huge deep pit in the middle of the dense forest. The edge of the pit is neat and smooth, as if cut by a mysterious force.

Immediately afterwards, another photo came, showing the original appearance of this place. The huge pyramid-shaped temple full of history is located in the middle of the dense forest, and its shape and size corresponded to the pothole in the previous photo.

"Moving the entire temple away... Heather doesn't have time to do this kind of thing, it must be Sephiroth's work."

Rufas' brain is running fast:

"The ancient temple...Kingdie...Sephiroth...Jenovia...the temple must be hiding some secret, the secret is so important that Heather and Sephiroth will try their best to snatch it at all costs. I guess that will be enough Could something that changed the destiny of the world be the cause of the destruction of the ancient species 2000 years ago? Zeng, what do you think?"

"Heather and Sephiroth are both the most outstanding and powerful people in the world, and their vision is unmatched by others. What they are fighting for must be very important, and it is closely related to the fate of the planet. Now think about it, Heather is close to Ellie Si's thoughts may not be so simple."

"You mean... he also saw the importance of the descendants of Alice's ancient species? They are fighting for the Promised Land? Um...very likely."

Rufas pondered for a while, and issued an order:

"Send Scarlett an order from the president to prepare her No. [-] cannon and No. [-] cannon, and keep them ready to fire at any time."

"Understood. President, you want to..."

"I will intervene in the battlefield when the battle between Heather and Sephiroth is at its height, and then they will understand why Shinra can rule the world!"

Rufas stood up, looked at the sunset outside the window with his hands behind his back, and murmured:

"I am the hero who saves the world!"
