The group came to the resting room, and the head guard left after saying a few words. Only Han Xiao and a few others stayed in the room.
"The mission is done. Next, it's time to deal with her."
Han Xiao threw Sylvia on the chair and looked at the unconscious girl with a thoughtful expression.
"I let Sylvia know about her father's deeds. Based on her experience in the previous life, she should change … but I can't say for sure. First, Sylvia only learned the truth after many years of fighting. At that age, she was more mature and adaptable. Now, she's still a child, so she might still hate me or run away temporarily. Second, Langley died long ago in the previous life, but he's still alive now. I can't say for sure how it will affect her, but there's a high chance that it will be beneficial."
After thinking about it, Han Xiao decided to wait and see Sylvia's reaction before making a decision.
From his perspective, keeping Sylvia would naturally create more value. There was no way he would let go of a resource that had been delivered to his door. He even thought about looking through the employment resume again to see if there were any more opportunities like this waiting for the opportunity to come.
Han Xiao was about to reach out and slap Sylvia awake when he suddenly remembered that Pork Bun was beside him, so he didn't do it. He took two steps back and turned to Aroshia. "Wake her up."
Aroshia walked forward and slapped Sylvia's face. Sylvia slowly woke up.
"Ugh … my face is so numb."
Sylvia opened her eyes and felt that her face was numb and painful.
She looked around blankly and saw Han Xiao. She was about to be angry, but she suddenly remembered what happened before she fainted. Her anger disappeared, and her mood sank. She lowered her head and looked at her feet with a dejected expression.
She thought that her father was very noble, but the truth was that Langley was a traitor and a separatist. Even without Black Star, her father would have been defeated by the other mercenaries sooner or later. On the contrary, because Han Xiao held back, her father survived. Her hostility toward Han Xiao naturally disappeared.
If the target of her vengeance was a traitor, even if it was her own father, Sylvia would feel that what she had done was wrong. Langley had only himself to blame for his fate, and there was no justice that could be sought for him.
The Radiance of her father in her heart collapsed. Sylvia's feelings toward Langley became complicated and conflicted. She believed that her father's love for her was real, but what he did was beyond what she could accept. Her father had been lying to her all this time, so of course, it was impossible for her not to blame him.
As for whether or not Han Xiao had forced her father to say that, this doubt disappeared in a flash because Han Xiao had done it too obviously and confidently. She knew that it was impossible after thinking about it. She was just a little girl who had failed to assassinate him. Why would the leader of a famous mercenary group go through so much trouble to fool her? Han Xiao had captured Langley personally. If it was not because he knew her father's true background, why would he suddenly bring her here to interrogate her father personally? Furthermore, her father had told her in great detail. The crimes of treason, espionage, eavesdropping, and leading a separatist group were all true.
Perhaps when she was investigating in the past, she still had hope that those suspicious points were all framed on her father. However, the instigator had personally told her everything, shattering all of her fantasies.
Sylvia looked at Han Xiao with a complicated expression. Although this mercenary group leader had been scaring her along the way, his actions were truly helping her. After her father was captured, she had experienced the fickleness of human nature. This kindness from a stranger caught her off guard and made her feel very guilty.
When the anger that burned her reason subsided, she said this sentence from the bottom of her heart and with sincerity.
"Thank you. You're a good person … Also, I'm very sorry. I'm really sorry …"
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Yo, it seems like the soul modification project was quite successful. As expected, whoever started the trouble had to untie it.
"Our leader is known as Master Han. What do you think?" Pork Bun put his hands on his hips and laughed.
Han Xiao pretended not to hear and sized up Sylvia at this moment.
This girl was no longer irritable. She looked quiet and delicate. After being captured for many days, she looked a little dusty, but the dust on her face could not hide the beauty of her facial features. As a popular character in the manga world in his previous life, he could see that Sylvia was a beauty in the making.
"I don't care about other things first. Tell me, which organization helped you track my whereabouts?" Han Xiao asked in a deep voice.
Sylvia did not hide anything and told him everything.
"It's an organization that sells information called 'Mittal'. I took out a portion of my savings and asked them to keep an eye on your whereabouts to buy this information. The disguise ability user I hired was a freelance assassin. He and I worked together to formulate the assassination plan. The poison gas and venom were all his things, but he was already killed by you …"
Sylvia paused and suddenly realized that Han Xiao had killed another person but kept her alive.
Was it because he knew her?
At this point, she finally asked the question that had always been in her mind. "How do you know me? Did my father tell you about me? "
"It's just a coincidence."
Han Xiao brushed her off and thought about the intelligence organization called Mittal.
Intelligence organizations were generally neutral. If their customers requested information about certain people or organizations that they could not afford to offend, they would refuse to sell it. Not provoking people who were too powerful was an unwritten rule of the intelligence organizations.
In the eyes of the intelligence organizations, Han Xiao was obviously not qualified. He was also a popular character. This way, he could indirectly increase the popularity of his faction by the players and increase the 'popularity' of his faction through various methods.
However, after she joined his faction, the galactic pirate career that the players loved to talk about would not appear again. After all, she had a foundation. After some training, she would definitely be as interesting as in his previous life …
As for the possibility of nurturing a tiger, it was not that Han Technician was arrogant. Even the players' growth rate could not compare to his. If he did not even have this much confidence, why would he still be in the universe? He might as well go back to the Blue Star and raise pigs.
