Honkai: Strijder

Chapter 13

After confirming that the father and daughter had no suspicious motives, enlisting Robbins as a pawn became Sigurd's next step. For this, he needed to help Robbins seek revenge.

How to help him get revenge?

It's actually quite simple.

In front of Sigurd, who had gained control over the network, anyone around Robbins' enemies who had a few devices connected to the internet, Sigurd could retrieve and analyze their data, exposing all their information from that day.

And in the 21st century, can any big shot figure avoid using the internet?

Therefore, Sigurd easily found a wealth of incriminating information.

Afterward, Sigurd didn't even need to think about how to use this data. He only needed to hand it over to Robbins, who was already overflowing with hatred. With his means and resources, he would spare no effort in devising his own way to deal with his enemies.

Then, Sigurd led his team into the city and captured several panicked figures who were already at their wits' end, presenting them to Robbins on the same day. Everything would come to an end.

Sigurd didn't ask Robbins how he would deal with his enemies because it wasn't important at all.

What mattered was that after eliminating the problematic individuals, Robbins, who still had his connections, quickly regained control of the company and even climbed higher using the legacy left by his enemies.@@@@

And for Sigurd, this was a mutually beneficial outcome.

He moved into a spacious and luxurious mansion, constantly receiving the knowledge, materials, and equipment he desired.

Within less than two months of his arrival in this new world, Sigurd achieved financial freedom that very few people in the world have.

...

"So, boss, what do you mean by wanting to enter the political arena?"

"Exactly what it sounds like."

On a beautiful day with a clear sky and melting snow, Robbins sat nervously on the living room sofa. In front of him, a mechanical arm extended from the floor and brought him a cup of coffee.

Robbins looked at his mysterious and seemingly omnipotent boss, feeling perplexed.

Sigurd was sipping his Longjing tea, the faint tea aroma lingering on his face, making him appear like an ordinary and elegant young man.

But Robbins knew how terrifying his boss truly was.

During his journey to regain power, he inevitably encountered various obstacles from powerful figures, but those troubles that gave him a severe headache were swiftly eliminated by his boss, who blocked their path to wealth.

Robbins had witnessed firsthand that no electronic device could escape his boss's intrusion. Everything—people's thoughts, secrets, strategies—was transparent before him. He had also witnessed his boss effortlessly create a self-propelled firepower robot using a pile of metal, wiping out a criminal organization's base without breaking a sweat. He had even seen his boss single-handedly enter a heavily guarded underworld boss's stronghold, decapitate him, and calmly walk out without alerting anyone.

In short, this guy was an all-powerful deity.

Robbins both revered and felt fortunate to have been recognized by his boss. As long as he demonstrated his value, he believed that Vira would be able to grow up safely, happily, and peacefully.

"Ahahaha! Sister Kiana , stop tickling me, it's so itchy!"

"Hehe! Who made little Vira so cute!"

Robbins glanced at Kiana, who was playing around with his daughter, Kiana's expression relaxed.

"I hope she can stay in your estate. It's the safest place."

"Well, that's not a problem. Is that a condition?"

"You're joking. It's for Vira's safety. I don't have any ulterior motives, and I wouldn't do that to Vira."

"What about her schooling?"

"I've hired a professional education team for remote learning. Also, if time allows, I'd appreciate your help in overseeing it. When it comes to knowledge, I think you're the most suitable."

Robbins raised an eyebrow.

Sigurd put down his teacup and didn't respond to Robbins. Instead, he beckoned to Vira.

"Vira, come here. I want to discuss something with you."

Vira, who had been observing Kiana, heard Sigurd's call and immediately jumped off the couch. Her little red shoes made a clattering sound as she hurriedly walked over to Sigurd.

"Sigurd big brother, papa, what's the matter? Do you need something from Vira?"

"Your father has important things to do and will be busy. He wants you to stay here for a while. What do you think?"

Vira looked toward Robbins.

In the expectant gaze of Robbins, she slowly nodded.

"I understand. But Papa has to agree to a few conditions."

"Oh, is little Vira asking for a gift?"

"No! Vira wants Papa to smoke less, drink less alcohol, never stay up late, and also come to visit Vira regularly, at least once a week!"

"Vira..."

Robbins looked at Vira, who was counting the conditions on her small fingers, and then hugged her.

"My little Vira, don't worry, Daddy will take good care of himself and will come to see you often. Daddy loves you."

"Vira loves Papa too! So Papa has to keep the promise, okay?"

Robbins smiled wryly and patted his head.

"Yeah, I'll keep my promise."

"Papa, Vira will miss you."

"Daddy will miss Vira too. Come, give Daddy a kiss."

"Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!"

Watching from the side, Sigurd, while getting goosebumps from the sweetness overload, couldn't help but glance at the tuna hanging from the ceiling with an expression of immense disdain plastered on his.

He takes a look at someone else's daughter. And then look at his (Not) own.

Tch, the difference is too big
