Chapter 379: Chapter 379

An Yan’s gaze remained calm as she spoke to her,

"Cousin, you have lost face for our Great R Nation in Country Z. Your drugs have been exposed to the public eye, and now the Royal Family is under tremendous pressure, dealing with the public resentment on your behalf!"

"Yet instead of reflecting behind closed doors, you have come to the research institute so ostentatiously. In your eyes, what is the Royal Family? A tool for cleaning up your mess?"

Matsumoto Mina narrowed her eyes,

"You keep mentioning the Royal Family, but what does the Royal Family have to do with you? Don’t forget, you are nothing but Prince Rensong’s illegitimate daughter! You have no inheritance rights, nor have you ever received a penny of child support from the Royal Family! So what are you getting so worked up about?"

An Yan remained impassive,

"Perhaps it’s the awakening in my blood! The honor of the Royal Family needs to be upheld by each of its members. Though I am not one, my blood does not allow me to be indifferent to your actions!"

"You think that bringing up the Royal Family will scare me?"

"You may not be afraid, but as long as I am here, you won’t succeed! Please, Miss Matsumoto Mina, go back and reflect on yourself!"

As An Yan finished speaking, Ono Yosuke immediately ran out from the crowd and stood in front of Matsumoto Mina.

"Miss Meina, please!"

Matsumoto Mina kicked Ono Yosuke away and reached out to grab An Yan, but instead of catching her, she grabbed the Little Squirrel charm hanging on An Yan’s bag.

An Yan was stunned on the spot.

The Little Squirrel was also stunned.

Fearing that Little Squirrel wouldn’t be able to resist flipping out, An Yan was genuinely panicked. Not only did her complexion change, but her voice also revealed extreme tension,

"Matsumoto Mina, give me back my charm!"

Matsumoto Mina, who initially didn’t care about the charm, suddenly felt exhilarated when she saw Saori so agitated.

"I won’t give it to you!"

The Little Squirrel, stiff as a board, didn’t dare move an inch in Matsumoto Mina’s hand.

Although it didn’t dare to move its body, its mind was active. It suddenly realized that this was an excellent opportunity to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, Little Squirrel gave An Yan a signal with its eyes.

But An Yan seemed not to notice and instead waved Wen Ya over,

"Retrieve my belonging, and I’ll pay you three times your salary."

Wen Ya immediately adopted an authentic karate stance.

Matsumoto Mina’s bodyguard didn’t hesitate to meet the challenge head-on.

Both sides fought back and forth.

Meanwhile, Matsumoto Mina triumphantly waved the Little Squirrel in her hand and got into her car.

An Yan ran around the fighting crowd to catch up.

Only when Matsumoto Mina saw her getting close to her car did she say to the driver,

Seeing Matsumoto Saori’s frustration at not being able to reach the car, Matsumoto Mina finally burst into joy.

With a blissful grin, she raised the charm in her hand and tapped the nose of the Little Squirrel curled up in her hand,

"You’ll be my first war trophy!"

With Matsumoto Mina gone, it was time for the ship to set sail.

An Yan, looking dejected, signaled Wen Ya to stop.

The employees were abuzz with conversation.

They all sympathized with Miss Saori.

Although they didn’t know what was said, everyone saw Miss Meina taking Miss Saori’s charm.

An hour later, a knock came at An Yan’s office door. It opened, and Ono Yosuke entered, holding a large bag.

"Miss Saori, this is for you!"

Ono Yosuke placed a white plush teddy bear charm on the table,

"Miss Meina always means what she says; you are the first to ever stand up to her."

An Yan remained silent, her gaze fixed on the documents in front of her.

Ono Yosuke hesitated for a moment and then said in a suppressed voice,

"Miss Saori, I’m willing to help you! I’ll do anything."

An Yan lifted her eyelids and then shook her head,

"Forget it. You’re just a minor security guard, and you’ve been implicated by me and remembered by Meina. No matter what, I’ll protect you. Don’t worry!"

After speaking, she lowered her head and started looking at the files again.

"I am a security guard, but my brother is Ono Eishi, who once was Miss Meina’s assistant."

An Yan finally showed some interest,

"I know my brother might not be able to return. I also know that my abilities aren’t enough to avenge him. Even if I risked my life, I’m afraid I couldn’t do it."

"I’m not afraid of dying; I’m just afraid that Matsumoto Meina won’t die!"

Ono Eishi placed the bag he had been holding on An Yan’s desk,

"These are some secret files about Matsumoto Meina that my brother left at my place. I hope they can be of help to you, Miss Saori."

He pushed the files towards An Yan,

"Miss Saori, I really can be your knife! Trust me!!"

An Yan quickly skimmed through the files and then looked up, saying,

"I want to know if Matsumoto Meina has any other residences besides the existing ones we can find?"

Ono Yosuke pondered for a while and said,

"I don’t know yet, but there should be clues at my brother’s place. I’ll go look for them tonight."

Matsumoto Meina returned to one of her publicly known residences.

As soon as she returned, her team members came over,

"Miss Meina, what should we do next?"

"We must quickly develop a result that can astonish everyone; otherwise, we won’t be able to shift the public’s sentiment."

"Miss Meina, we have to find a way to get back to the research institute!"

Matsumoto Meina sneered, "Do you think we have to be at the research institute to come up with results?"

"From now on, keep your mouths shut tight! We’ll do it right here! When the new results are out, I want those people to kneel before me and beg me!"

After saying that, Matsumoto Meina returned to her office.

She had her own people on the island; did Matsumoto Saori think that by forbidding her access, she would be helpless? Naive!

Matsumoto Meina called her confidant, Kirihara Jiro,

"Get everything in Warehouse Zero shipped to me!!"

Warehouse Zero was filled with all sorts of rare materials! It was Matsumoto Meina’s own private warehouse, known only to her and the two brothers of the Kirihara Family. Back when she set it up, it was to guard against the day when the Matsumoto Family might cast her aside. Unexpectedly, the Matsumoto Family had not cast her aside, but she had been forced by Matsumoto Saori to use the contents of the warehouse ahead of time.

After arranging things, Matsumoto Meina got in her car and left.

To create a better drug, she needed Li Tianyao’s blood, and she was the only one who could obtain it!

Seeing her car come out, Luolie quickly had his driver start the car, trailing far behind Matsumoto Meina’s car once again.

Similarly, when passing a corner, in the blink of an eye, Matsumoto Meina’s car vanished without a trace.

Luolie and his men searched the area in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, the Little Squirrel hanging on Matsumoto Meina’s bag sensed a terrifyingly powerful force at that instant. The force came from a talisman Matsumoto Meina had ignited.

The sudden fear made Little Squirrel’s fur stand on end uncontrollably.

Luckily, at that moment, Matsumoto Meina was only focused on her satisfaction of having shaken off her tail again and didn’t notice it.

The car drove towards the bustling city center.

Little Squirrel behaved like an ordinary charm, not daring to move in the slightest. Newest update provıded by novel⟡fire.net
