foreigner's journey

Chapter 360 Rufus Shinra

In the cool night breeze, there were only two people standing on the huge top platform.

Heather stood at the top of the stairs, narrowing her eyes slightly to look at the person standing in the center of the platform.

It was a well-proportioned young man.He is about 23 to 24 years old, wearing a double-breasted white coat, with blond hair combed sideways, handsome and calm.

Seeing Heather stepping onto the top platform, he smiled slightly: "I knew those special forces couldn't stop you, Heather."

"It's an honor for the vice president of Tangtang Shinra to know my name."

Heather put her hands in her pockets, her tone mocking.

The young man's smile remained unchanged: "[The Monster of Qifan Street], [Underground Emperor], [Heather of the Broken Bone], there have been many legends about you in Midgar these years. I thought I would waste time doing it. This self-introduction seems unnecessary now. Sure enough, you have your own information channel."

Heather interrupted him impatiently: "Forget about flattering each other, Rufas Shinra. You just appeared in front of me so grandly, aren't you afraid that I will kill you directly?"

The person in front of him is the illegitimate son of the president of Shinra Corporation, Rufas Shinra.With his superb means, he continued to climb up and squeezed out his two nominal older brothers, Lazard and Ivan, and became the vice president of Shinra Corporation.This person is born with great ambitions, and he wants to overthrow his father to become the new president of Shinra Company, and secretly wins over a large group of loyal subordinates within the company.

President Shinra naturally also knows the danger of this son. Out of scruples about Rufas, President Shinra has sent Rufas out to deal with the affairs of Shinra's branch all the year round, constantly downplaying Rufas' influence within the company. As a result, in recent years, few people who are not high-level Shinra people know the name of Rufas.

Heather has played games, so she naturally knows how proud and ambitious Rufas is. What is he doing on the top floor of the Iron Pillar at this time?
"No, no, you won't kill me."

Rufas snapped his fingers with a smile on his face, and the screen behind the platform suddenly lit up, and a man with long black hair and a mole between his eyebrows appeared on it, who was Tax's supervisor [Zeng].

"Zeng, did you find it?" Rufas asked without looking back.

【Takes has found the trace of Alice. Unfortunately, she has been captured by the science department first. ] On the screen, Zeng Weiwei bowed his body and replied respectfully.

Rufas looked at Heather with the same smile on his face: "Didn't you notice that your precious apprentice is missing? What an irresponsible master."

Alice?Heather took the risk of being hit by the planet's will to deploy [Circle] and [Information Color] with all her strength, but she didn't find any trace of Alice.

"Blonde, like nonsense, you are very similar to some annoying guy I met before. I guess you don't want to know his final outcome." Heather narrowed her eyes, and her hands naturally fell to her side.

Rufas was not frightened by Heather's turbulent murderous intent. He said in an extremely sincere tone with his face unchanged: "I am not here to be your enemy, Heather. On the contrary, I want to come here with absolute sincerity. Cooperate with you."

"Arrested my apprentice, and then talked about sincerity with me? I think it seems more sincere to go to Mr. President with your head in your head."

Heather showed her white teeth slightly, and her hands were already pinching the glasses on the bridge of her nose.

Rufas spread his hands to indicate that he has no weapons and hostility at all: "I didn't bring any subordinates, guards, or any weapons, just to have a good talk with you face to face, why can't you give me a minute to explain?" What? If you’re not satisfied by then, it’s not too late to kill me.”

As soon as the words fell, Rufas found that Heather's figure disappeared in the distance.Immediately afterwards, there was severe pain in the joints of his limbs and a series of dense dull sounds, and his joints were all disassembled.

Heather wearing glasses appeared behind Rufas, looked at Rufas who fell heavily on the ground, and said in a serious tone: "Interesting, then I'll give you a minute. But I don't like your superior attitude, I'd better lie down Talk to me on the ground."

【Lord Rufas!Heather, you...] Zeng on the screen was furious.

"It's okay, as long as you are willing to talk, it's a good start." Rufas was so painful that his forehead was sweating slightly, but he stopped Zeng in a calm tone, and then he barely raised his head to look at Heather:

"We are not the ones who want to capture Alice. In fact, all the members of the Turks are secretly loyal to me. I ordered them not to capture Alice after the start of the [Seventh Pillar Collapse Project]. Instead, I sent Renault and Lu De went to protect her, but was misunderstood by Alice and her bodyguards."

"……continue."

"The order to capture Alice was issued by my father himself. Most of the reason for this is that Hojo from the science department was behind my father's back. They wanted to use Alice to find the legendary [Promised Land] , that is the land of infinite happiness known only to the awakened ancient species."

Rufas took a hard breath and continued:

"The demons near Midgar have been overextracted, and this land is on the verge of death. My father wants to build a brand new Midgar in the [Promised Land] with endless energy, so he will not hesitate. Approve the collapse of the Seventh Pillar, because the city and civilians here are completely 'useless' that can be discarded in his view."

"To the point, what's going on with Alice?" Heather was a little impatient.

"Hojo doesn't trust Turks. Ordinary special forces and soldiers are no match for you and that bodyguard, so he used a secret unit code-named [Abyss]. I don't know much about this unit, only that they It's the trump card in Baojo's hand. Turks can't resist the Shinra company on the open face, so I sent Turks to follow the Abyss army all the way and try to find Alice in advance to protect her. But unfortunately, the other party has taken advantage of you The perfect opportunity to catch Alice first without the bodyguards around."

The Abyss Troop... This is the villain force that appeared in another FF7 derivative game "Cerberus' Elegy". It is the secret combat force of Shinra Corporation.If Alice was really taken away by them, it would be difficult for him to find their traces in a short time.Moreover, during the entire No. [-] pillar blasting operation, there was indeed no figure of Tux, which did not match the situation in the game at all.

Thinking of this, Heather stretched out her foot and kicked Rufas a few times.With a few bone cracking sounds, Rufas felt that he could move again.

"...so, what can you do for me?"

Heather looked at Rufas who got up gracefully, and asked indifferently.

Rufas took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from the pain on his forehead, and the smile on his face remained undiminished: "Even if you were you, it is impossible to break into Shinra Company and rescue Alice alone. The internal structure of Shinra Company is intricate and everywhere. They are organs and alarms. Once you trigger them, you will be greeted by the elite troops of Shinra. Especially in the depths of the science department, where Baojo has turned it into a terrifying monster lair. Let’s cooperate, Heather, I can help you. you."

"Like?"

"I can help you and your companions sneak into the Shinra company, and send professionals to secretly assist you until you rescue Alice."

"Sounds good, so... what reward do you want?" Heather looked at Rufas playfully.

"In exchange, I hope you can let my father step down from the position of president of Shinra Corporation."

Rufas smiled very reservedly:
"...in a more respectable way."
