She raised her arm with a decisive and swift motion.
That forbidden memory, coveted by countless ambitious individuals, capable of unleashing bloodshed in the underworld and containing immense power sufficient to destroy a city.
She tossed it at Su Chen as lightly as if it were a piece of real, disgusting garbage.
Its preciousness, compared to her current disdain, seems so absurd.
"This thing has no value to me anymore."
Her voice was icy, carrying a resolute determination to sever all ties with the past, leaving no room for compromise.
"Perhaps it can also provide a little bit of help for your research."
The tone made it seem as if this masterpiece of Gaia Memory, one of the symbols of power in Fengdu, was truly just an insignificant experimental subject, humble to the point of being insignificant.
He stretched out his hand.
The forbidden memory, which traced a dark purple arc in the air, landed steadily in his palm with a fateful trajectory.
It feels slightly cool to the touch, yet you can clearly feel the vast and powerful "Earth's memory" energy hidden within, seemingly from the ancient and primordial world of Earth. It is completely different from its own technological power, yet they can complement each other.
It was a pure, powerful source of energy, strong enough to distort reality.
Su Chen gently stroked the outer shell of the memory chip with his fingertips, feeling its unique texture.
"A good sample."
He spoke, his tone still calm and even, as if what he held in his hand was not a forbidden power that could make the entire wind tremble, but merely an ordinary, even somewhat common, experimental material, just like Saeko's assessment earlier.
That composure itself is an invisible pressure, a confidence that transcends all power.
After offering up this heavy "past," Saeko Sonozaki seemed to become much purer, as if she had shed an invisible shackle.
She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly.
Then, they made an even more shocking and thorough move.
She took a step back and straightened her impeccably tailored clothes, as if performing a sacred ritual.
Then, without hesitation, he knelt down on one knee in front of Su Chen.
This kneeling was completely different from any previous one; it was a qualitative leap.
Gone are the previous probing and reservations, gone are the remaining pride and calculations.
Her knees slammed heavily against the cold ground, producing a soft but firm thud that echoed in the silence.
Her head drooped low, then slowly rose again, her gaze unwavering.
Those beautiful eyes, once filled with coldness and calculation, sharp as a knife, now held only pure adoration and an unreserved, fanatical fervor, like the most devout believer gazing upon a single deity.
She looked up at the man before her, the one who gave her new meaning, who helped her break free from the mire of the past, and who gave her new life and purpose.
Her voice, trembling slightly from extreme excitement, was incredibly clear and resolute. Every word seemed to have been tempered by the soul, carrying an undeniable weight as it echoed in the silent research institute, like the most sacred oath.
"My body."
"My power."
"My life."
"From this moment on..."
"They will all be completely and utterly."
"It belongs to you alone."
"My master."
Every word is a vow, one that will never be forgotten.
Every word is imprinted with her unwavering determination.
When the last word falls.
The air seemed to freeze, and time stood still for her at that moment.
From this moment on, the "Fanged Queen of the Sonozaki Family," who was once feared by both the underworld and the legitimate world of Fuuto and was known for her beauty and ruthlessness, has completely vanished and ceased to exist.
Her pride, her ambition, her past, all were buried in the dust of history along with that forbidden memory that was discarded like trash.
Instead.
It is a completely new existence, a weapon created for him.
A sharp blade that exists solely for Su Chen, a blood-drinking fang.
From that moment on, the complex individual represented by the name Sonozaki Saeko ceased to exist in the world.
Only those who serve under that unfathomable man, who reigns supreme at the pinnacle of technology like a demon king.
The most loyal, the sharpest, and the most deadly shadow.
Kamen Rider is destroyed.
Her new life came because of him.
Her vow was made for him.
late at night.
The top-floor office of Zero One Technology was completely silent at this moment.
Only the neon lights of the city outside the window silently outline the contours of this city that never sleeps.
A rare visitor broke this unique tranquility.
The most dazzling idol princess in Fuuto, Sonozaki Wakana, has now shed all the brilliance and pretense from the stage.
Alone, filled with undisguised unease and timidity, she secretly visited the legendary pinnacle of Fengdu Technology.
She was wearing an ordinary dress and had very light makeup on.
At this moment, she looked like a girl next door who had suffered a great injustice and had nowhere to turn for help.
Compared to her radiant appearance under the spotlight, she was practically a different person.
"Mr. Su Chen..."
Her voice was very soft, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, yet it sounded exceptionally clear in the empty office.
"Sorry to bother you so late."
Su Chen turned around in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
The city skyline unfolded behind him outside the window, like a silent backdrop to his immense power.
He poured her a steaming cup of black tea, his movements unhurried and relaxed.
The aroma of tea instantly filled the air, carrying a comforting warmth.
"It's alright, Princess Wakana."
He gestured for her to sit down on the sofa that looked extremely comfortable.
"For you to come in person so late at night, you must have encountered some considerable trouble."
His tone was calm, yet it seemed as if he already knew everything.
Sonozaki Wakana held the warm cup of tea in both hands, and the slight chill on her fingertips seemed to be dispelled.
Her emotions seemed to have calmed down a bit because of the cup of tea and the man's composure.
She bit her lower lip tightly, her pearly teeth sinking deep into her teeth.
Finally, as if she had made a huge decision, she raised her head and looked directly into Su Chen's deep eyes.
She spoke out about the deep-seated troubles she had been carrying.
"I...I've recently been targeted by a perverted fan."
When this matter was mentioned, her eyes instantly revealed an overwhelming sense of deep fear and intense disgust.
The fear was real, almost overflowing from her beautiful eyes.
“At first, he just sent some very strange gifts to my office.”
"Later, things got worse and worse, and he started stalking me and taking pictures of me without my consent."
Her voice began to tremble uncontrollably.
"He even... he even used the Gaia Memory to attack my bodyguards and work team more than once..."
"Those poor people were simply no match for the power of that monster."
“I asked my father for help.”
At this point, her voice was filled with disappointment and helplessness.
"But he just thought I was making a fuss and didn't believe the seriousness of the matter at all."
"The so-called guards he sent were completely unable to deal with the monstrous power that defied common sense... They even trembled in fear in front of the monster."
“Mr. Su Chen, I know this request is very presumptuous, and even somewhat presumptuous.”
Her voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were filled with helpless pleading, as if she had grasped at the last straw.
"However, in the entire city of Fengdu, the only person I can think of who has the ability and the potential to solve this problem is you."
"I have heard about the strength of Zero One Technology."
Looking at the rare sight of Princess Fengdu's fragility, her beautiful eyes, which once shone with confidence in front of countless cameras, were now filled with helpless tears and desperate pleas.
Su Chen listened calmly to her entire account, his gaze remaining completely unwavering.
He already knew the answer in his heart.
This is indeed a golden opportunity, a perfect chance to further dismantle the seemingly unbreakable rule of the Sonozaki family and infiltrate its ranks.
He needed this opportunity.
"Of course I can help."
Su Chen nodded slightly, agreeing readily and without any hesitation.
It was as if he had been waiting for this request all along.
Wakana's previously gloomy face immediately lit up with an expression of unbelievable surprise because of these words.
