Chapter 415: Chapter 410: That Damn Accident! Chapter 415: Chapter 410: That Damn Accident! Y National.

Roma City.

On the highlands bordering the northwest corner with Y National, lies the supreme kingdom of faith, translated in Latin as the Land of the Prophet!

Qi Si sat in a coffee shop in the center of the faith square, a very quiet place frequented only by himself and members of the Pacino Family.

They had long since taken position here, awaiting Qi Si’s arrival.

“It has a great charm, even you, Mr. Qi, a man without faith, were attracted to it!” Horiv arrived, pushed the door open, and happened to see Qi Si’s gaze, unable to resist a jest.

However, Qi Si responded with a dismissive glance, “I won’t deny the influence of Catholicism, but I have my own faith in my heart, the faith of the East in the god within.”

Failing to comprehend the Eastern faith, Horiv promptly dropped the fruitless conversation.

“Mr. Qi, it’s time we talked.”

Horiv’s face lost its easiness as he sat down across from him, and the atmosphere turned oppressive.

Both men were of a very detached nature, so sitting together inevitably resulted in an even chillier congealment.

The sole reason for their meeting here was because of a woman named Shen Yan!

After discussing the main issue, they both couldn’t wait to leave.

Neither wanted to be alone together.

Such a clash of titans could never have a moment of peace.

But for Shen Yan, they both endured.

The business of the Pacino family was repulsive to Qi Si; Horiv greatly despised the hypocrisy of Qi Si himself.

Yes.

In Horiv’s eyes, Qi Si was the typical hypocrite, outwardly proper yet critical of the business they were undertaking in the Pacino family.

Both had that mutual loathing, which they masked well without revealing much.

*

Despite not wanting to continue talking to Horiv, thinking of Shen Yan made Qi Si stay seated.

“She suffered a lot in the base… how much do you know…”

Horiv, about to stand up after discussing their main issue, sat back down upon hearing this question, looking at Qi Si with a very cold gaze, even one that suggested suspicion.

“Even if she’s left, I don’t want to reopen her wounds. I’ve said enough last time.”

“I’m just curious,” Qi Si showed no particular emotions, “after all, she shares the same name and surname as my wife, my curiosity about her is not unfounded. Moreover, I’m now in partnership with you.”

The latter part of his statement weighed heavily on Horiv.

Because, strictly speaking, it was Horiv who had invited Qi Si to join.

At this juncture, Horiv could only bow his head.

He felt extremely displeased with the situation, Horiv’s expression soured as he spoke reluctantly, “All I know is they were using her body for research, the kind of inhumane research that Mr. Qi should be somewhat familiar with.” Here, Horiv let out a scornful laugh, “Tragically, the researchers on her were her own biological parents. Her genes have some peculiar function, capable of enabling the base to create a more formidable fighting force… As I understand it from my Pacino family contacts, the base had already achieved some reinforcement results before her.”

At this point, Horiv paused, his complexion turning extraordinarily gruesome.

Because he could imagine the pain that Shen Yan must have endured inside the base.

Especially at the beginning, when Shen Yan was just an ordinary girl!

She might have had some rebellious strength, but faced with the team enhanced by the base, she could only be suppressed time and time again.

The pain from which she could not escape was something only she knew too well.

Qi Si tugged at his collar, briefly closed his eyes, with turmoil roiling in their depths.

He could even imagine it, but hearing these things from someone else still caused his heart to ache fiercely, and his breathing became oppressed.

“Ever since she was sent to the base, the research there has skyrocketed. You’ve probably seen what those people are capable of, which is the result of her genetics being replicated and enhanced. Human potential is limited, but the base utilizes this special gene to push human potential to its utmost limit, even crossing that line…”

“We were just one step away, just one more step, and she would have been free, that damned accident…” Horiv’s eyes were bloodshot, filled with furious veins.

He had thought he could propose to her on the day she regained her freedom, inviting her to be the matriarch of the Pacino Family.

But everything was buried in that cursed accident.

At that moment, Qi Si surprisingly found himself thinking that if Shen Yan had succeeded, there wouldn’t have been a now…

“That movie script isn’t bad, but it still falls short of your last work,” Liu Su said directly to Shen Yan after making inquiries, “and the role of the second female lead isn’t really suitable for you either.”

Somewhat malicious—such an unappealing role of the second female lead was needless to take on.

That woman with the surname Zhao actually said the role was suitable for Yanyan, must be blind.

“Mm, then I won’t take it. I only look at scripts to choose projects, no need to court trouble for myself.” Shen Yan didn’t need that role anyway.

“Yanyan, why do I feel like Actress Zhao had some deliberate intention behind this?” Xiao Zhao hesitantly said.

Shen Yan laughed, “You noticed.”

“Ah? Why would she do that? Yanyan hasn’t done her any harm or injustice.”

“There are only so many resources in the entertainment industry. Who knows when you’ll become someone’s rival? You may not think so, but others might.”

“That’s true,” Xiao Zhao thought about it carefully and felt it made sense.

Liu Su was displeased.

Was that woman with the surname Zhao implying that his Yanyan resembled the second female lead in the drama?

“Right, Director Jiang’s ‘Extreme Speed’ reality show has entered its second season, the fourth episode. He found the third episode, which you didn’t join, somewhat dull and specifically called several times to ask about your thoughts. I’ve declined for you.” Liu Su found the reality show to be getting more and more dangerous, especially the two episodes that Yanyan had participated in, which were played to extremes.

Liu Su was terrified just thinking about it, and also very angry.

Director Jiang did it on purpose, didn’t he?

“Director Jiang didn’t call me,” Shen Yan laughed, “Uncle Liu is my agent. If he declined, he must have had his reasons.”

“It’s good that you don’t blame me,” Liu Su simply wanted to let Shen Yan know about it, “We’ll put everything else aside for now. The company has already started preparing a fan meeting for you.”

They had made a promise to the fans at the airport; they couldn’t not hold it.

Elsewhere.

Zhaoqing finished the second schedule of the day, grabbed a bottle of water from her assistant, and asked while drinking, “Any movement from Shen Yan’s side?”

The assistant nodded, “She declined.”

“Oh?” Zhaoqing smiled, “Just as expected.”

The assistant hesitated for a moment, then said, “Aren’t you being a bit too deliberate?”

“Am I?” Zhaoqing’s smile was somewhat cold, “She needs to pay the price for those who have died.”

The assistant parted her lips but ultimately said nothing.

“Isn’t she arranging some sort of fan meeting? Let’s have our people get ready.”

“Zhaoqing…” The assistant couldn’t help but call out.

Zhaoqing clenched the bottle in her hand, her voice steeped with icy water, “I would stake my future to ruin her!”
