Chapter 82: Master is My Everything

In the end, Li Yexing's little curiosity was not satisfied. Not only that, but he also seemed to have 'unintentionally improved' Leon's favorability towards him.

Leon looked at Li Yexing's strange expression and deliberately kept his distance, and if it weren't for waiting for breakfast tomorrow, Li Yexing guessed that this guy would have run away a long time ago.

Feeling a bit helpless, Li Yexing sat on the side, smoking and looking at the sky, feeling frustrated that his curiosity had not been satisfied. Just then, Lilith sat next to him, looking unhappy.

Stroking Lilith's small head, Li Yexing whispered, "What's wrong? You look like you've been wronged?"

"Lilith saved Yexing's life today..." Lilith muttered softly, sitting next to him.

"That's right. I have to say that you and Rita came just in time. If it had been any later, I and that guy would have been in trouble. Lilith, you're great." Rubbing Lilith's silver hair at random, Li Yexing pointed at Leon and laughed.

"But... when Yexing came back, he didn't praise Lilith, but instead chased after Mr. Leon to ask about other women's things..." Lilith complained softly, her face pouting like a bun. "Lilith is very unhappy, very wronged..."

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I was wrong..." Li Yexing gently picked up the girl sitting next to him and put her on his lap, rubbing her pouting face. "Don't be angry, don't be angry~ I'm just a little curious. I don't mean anything else..."

"Compensation..." Lilith turned her head and muttered in a small voice, so Li Yexing kissed her without hesitation.

Leon sat on the side, watching Li Yexing and Lilith openly show affection, feeling bored. He was about to contact Hunnigan to report on the recent situation when he suddenly heard a sweet and dignified voice.

"Mr. Leon, please have some tea."

Turning his head, he saw the maid who had changed her clothes and washed herself standing elegantly next to him. She bowed slightly and held a cup of red tea in her hand.

"Thank you."

Leon also did not hesitate and took the tea.

"I didn't expect to receive such treatment, especially in this place where even the gods don't want to look twice."

"My Master really likes you..." Rita whispered softly. "As a perfect maid, I have a responsibility to make my Master's esteemed guest feel at home."

"It's really strict and full of dangers here, so we can't be careless like this; this is Malvia, not Edonia..." Leon whispered.

"No, you're mistaken, Mr. Leon..." Rita smiled and shook her head, opening her cold grey eyes and saying, "Where we are isn't important. Wherever Master is, that's Master's territory."

Leon felt a tingling sensation on his scalp for no apparent reason.

"Master is a very good person, and he will give unlimited tolerance and understanding to the people he likes..." The elegant black silk maid whispered, "But I am not. I am both Master's servant and his weapon. Master is my everything, so when I feel that Master's safety is threatened, I have a responsibility to eliminate any unstable factors, that's why..."

With a smile devoid of warmth, Rita slightly bowed to Leon and said, "That's why, Mr. Leon, Rita hopes that you will be careful with your words and actions."

After speaking, the maid in black walked away from Leon with graceful steps, stood behind Li Yexing, and maintained a subtle distance from him.

This distance was probably just close enough to hear his speech. Leon furrowed his brows, opened the communication with Hunnigan, and soon the other side answered.

"Leon, how's the situation on your end?" Hunnigan asked on the screen.

"The situation is still okay. I have received the help of a European mercenary in the area, so I am temporarily safe."

"And, regarding the appearance of B.O.W. on the battlefield in Malvia, I haven't been able to find any decisive evidence that would allow external military forces to intervene..." Leon seemed hesitant, then whispered, "I believe that the Biohazard Outbreak in Malvia is likely related to Tricell Pharmaceutical."

After speaking, Leon looked cautiously at Rita, who was not far away. Rita standing beside Li Yexing immediately smiled back at Leon. It seemed that he hadn't stepped on a mine, and it appeared that she was not from Tricell.

With this in mind, Leon became a bit bolder and said to Hunnigan, "All of this is too coincidental when you think about it. The time when the conflict in the Malvia region escalated and when Tricell Pharmaceutical launched humanitarian medical aid to the area almost completely coincides. I don't think this is a coincidence. No one knows whose hands the Dominant Las Plagas' samples lost in Spain have fallen into. I think we have reason to suspect that Tricell Pharmaceutical played some repugnant role in this crisis."

"Leon, do you know what you're saying?" Hunnigan frowned slightly and said, "Tricell is an international pharmaceutical company that has been actively cooperating with governments around the world to combat bioterrorism. At the same time, they are also the largest financial supporter of the BSAA. Now, you're telling me that you suspect Tricell is the cause of Biohazard in Africa? That's unreasonable."

"There's nothing unreasonable about it..." Leon said, "Dealing with B.O.W. is a highly profitable business. Who can be sure that those big capitalists won't be tempted by this dirty money?"

"But how do you explain the fact that both the Government Forces and the Rebel Forces in Malvia were infected with the parasite at the same time?" Hunnigan asked in confusion.

"To collect experimental data," Leon explained, "They provide B.O.W. to both sides, allowing them to fight each other and then obtain their combat data, just like in Raccoon City years ago."

Leon's words reminded Hunnigan of the confidential file on Umbrella.

When the Raccoon City incident completely got out of control, Umbrella branches from all over the world threw their own proud products into Raccoon City in order to obtain first-hand B.O.W. combat data. If Leon's judgment is correct, the current Malvia civil war is actually a repeat of the Raccoon City incident.

"Leon, listen..." Hunnigan paused and said, "Even if your judgment is correct, we cannot directly investigate Tricell. The humanitarian aid provided by Tricell for the Malvia turmoil is allowed by the United Nations, and we must be cautious in dealing with the problem of Tricell."

"Don't worry, I'll handle it," Leon said.

After closing the communication, Leon felt a little heavy-hearted. Although the current situation was still good, his mission had already hit a bottleneck. Leon hoped to open a gap in Tricell Pharmaceutical but was unable to investigate them. The scenes that just happened in the small town flashed back in his mind, and he couldn't sit idly by the tragedy around him but was powerless to help.

Just when Leon was feeling frustrated, Li Yexing quietly sneaked up on him from behind, with a mysterious expression on his face, and said, "You... want to investigate Tricell Pharmaceutical?"

Leon looked at Li Yexing, frowned, and said, "This is my business, you don't have to worry about it."

"Oh, really? What a pity..." Li Yexing turned around and said in a strange tone, "Tricell Pharmaceutical just contacted me. I'm going to meet them with the local medical aid personnel tomorrow. It's a shame I can't help you."

Leon stood up suddenly, grabbed Li Yexing's hand, and turned his head. Leon had a pleasing smile on his face and said, "Come on, brother. I think we can talk about this."
