Chapter 73: I, Little Pardo, Am Definitely Not a Moray Eel!
"So that's how it is, the Interastral Peace Corporation that gallops across the starry seas... I think I understand now. I'll find a way to handle this matter. Go tell Bronya to just focus on doing her own job properly."
Almost within less than ten minutes, Seele, who was then the personal bodyguard of the 'Supreme Guardian', relayed the information to Kevin without missing a single detail. After all, in this situation, Bronya herself, under scrutiny from all sides, couldn't possibly break away.
Worried about Bronya's safety, Seele only said a few words after explaining the situation before running off. She had been secretly lurking near Bronya recently, claiming it was to prevent her from making any decisions detrimental to the Underworld.
Of course, everyone knows the real situation... Because of this, Seele had even forgotten to come to Kevin's place for training these past few days, perfectly embodying the image of someone who values romance over friendship—once she got a wife, she forgot her master.
However, Kevin never expected that in just a few days, he would already be noticed by such a colossal entity in the universe. Kevin had no doubt about the capabilities of such a super corporation that managed to expand its business across countless planets. After all, without that kind of skill, others might not be willing to engage in fair trade with you.
But this was fine too. Precisely because the 'Corporation' was so vast that Kevin couldn't even imagine its scale, he didn't need to worry about a group famous for trade across the universe suddenly resorting to underhanded tactics.
Moreover, if he didn't use such an organization as a stepping stone... how else could he chase the Astral Express and find that Elysia? That girl even left him a letter, expressing quite a bit of pride in her own spontaneous, wanderlust-driven journey.
Although he originally planned to travel among the stars and needed to obtain some kind of legal identity anyway, this feeling of being forced into it wasn't exactly pleasant.
That troublesome Elysia... Since she dared to run off like that, she'd better not be caught too easily.
But before that, he still needed to take the initiative to see for himself what this so-called Interastral Peace Corporation was really like...
———— ————
"You know, Can, this mission is related to our chance for promotion and a raise. So we absolutely must succeed and cannot fail... Are you even listening to me?"
On the other side, after returning to the accommodation prepared for her by Bronya, that 'Corporation' special envoy spoke very seriously in hushed tones to the cat basking in the sun by the window. But judging by its plump, motionless body and slightly squinted eyes, it didn't seem very interested in paying attention to her.
This guy might look useless, but its true identity was a multi-functional AI robot cat she had spent almost all her savings to buy from a second-hand market! Cooking, laundry, finding people or things, eating, sleeping, connecting to the internet to watch shows...
Alright, gotta admit this robot cat really isn't that impressive. She didn't know why she suddenly couldn't walk away when she saw its image back then, and even felt the name 'Can' sounded very familiar.
But thinking about it now... whose robot cat specifically includes a function to digest food? Who would buy a robotic pet designed like that?!
Fortunately, that unscrupulous scientist still had a tiny bit of conscience. At least one thing he didn't lie about: Can really does have the ability to perform targeted searches for specific things within the entire planet's range.
Otherwise, with just her own abilities, how could she have climbed to such a high position?
"Can, I'm serious this time. As long as we can get promoted to P40 level, we'll be able to buy corporate bonds and become respectable figures... If you can find that person related to 'The Preservation', I'll buy you your favorite canned cat food when we get back. How about that?"
Even if her abilities aren't that outstanding yet, she's not stupid at all to have climbed to this position. Judging by that 'Supreme Guardian's' expression, she might not necessarily tell them the real information... This chance for promotion and a raise must be firmly grasped by herself!
Can is great in every way, except for one minor flaw—it often doesn't listen very well to her, its owner.
"Meow~~~"
Fortunately, tempted by delicious food, Can finally began to move its plump body. Under her hopeful gaze, it slowly crawled over to the computer and gently pressed its tail against it.
Beep—
After a soft connection sound, a clear image appeared before her—a tall, handsome man with white hair, standing calmly in the snowy wilderness.
"Hmm... He looks like a pretty upright person. Just don't know if we can successfully recruit him?"
"Still, I hope he doesn't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit." The 'Corporation' special envoy snorted coldly and said: "Otherwise, I, Pardofelis, didn't grow up eating only vegetables!"
Click—!
Right at the moment her words fell, the image on the screen suddenly switched to another scene—a monster several times larger than the entire Belobog stood towering in the sky, blotting out the sun! Yet in the next moment, it was utterly obliterated by a heavenly fire descending from the sky, as if even the sky itself was split in two.
No matter how amazing a robot cat is, it certainly wouldn't have time-traveling capabilities. Presumably, some machinery in Belobog at that time happened to record this scene, which Can then retrieved now.
Gulp—
The sound of swallowing saliva was clearly audible in the empty room.
"Ca... Can... You're not trying to tell me that world-shattering attack was launched by that guy from earlier, are you?"
"Meow~"
Although cats can't talk, the meaning it wanted to convey was crystal clear.
"But... but this is too exaggerated! Even an Emanator-level big shot would be about this powerful!"
Of course she had never seen a truly Emanator-level figure take action. Such big shots are top-tier existences even within the 'Corporation', completely beyond the reach of a small employee like her.
But as far as she knew... a planet-destroying battleship's main cannon has about that much firepower! This isn't an attack a human can unleash! What a joke!
Considering his actual strength and what she just said earlier... it really was a bit presumptuous of her, huh?
The 'Corporation' is powerful, but the 'Corporation' isn't owned by her family! She's just a small employee!
Knock knock knock—!
Just as she was racking her brain thinking about how to speak to this big shot without being disrespectful later, a series of knocks suddenly came from the door, startling her so much she almost tripped and fell flat on level ground.
"Wh... who is it?"
A guilty conscience fears even ghosts knocking at the door, even though she hasn't had time to implement her plans yet.
But as she tiptoed to the door and looked through the peephole, she saw that familiar white-haired figure outside.
"？？？？！！!"
Wh... what?! How?!
She... she just watched one video of him! How did he suddenly show up at her door? She once heard that some powerful beings reach a level where others merely thinking their names can be sensed... Could this be it?!
I'm done for I'm done for I'm done for... She really doesn't want to die yet!
Apologize! Must apologize! Must apologize with utmost sincerity!!!
