Chapter 541: The Death of An Rand

"Tina, do you want to come with me to pick someone up?" Lingyun said to Tina beside him with a smile.

"Pick someone up?" Tina tilted her head and asked in a soft, slightly dazed voice.

"Pick someone up? Could it be that Sister Ye Xi and Sister Saeko are coming back?" Xiaona asked curiously from the side. "They said they were going to carry out the mission you gave them, Brother. Now that the mission is complete, are they finally coming back?"

"Sister Ye Xi? Sister Saeko?" Tina repeated.

"That's right, they said they should be back at the town by noon today," Lingyun said.

"Then it's about time, let's hurry over!" Xiaona said with an excited look on her face.

A helicopter circled above Lingyun Town, then slowly landed on a temporarily cleared helipad.

"Master, I'm back!" As soon as the cabin door opened, Luo Yexi jumped down from the helicopter and landed in front of Lingyun.

"Ling-kun, I'm back!" Saeko also walked down from the helicopter.

"Welcome back," Lingyun said to the two of them with a smile.

"Sister Ye Xi, Sister Saeko, welcome back," Xiaona and Senju Kayo, who were on the side, also said happily.

"Sister, where is the gift you mentioned?" Xiaona asked while hugging Luo Yexi's thigh.

"A gift?" Luo Yexi chuckled, then said toward the inside of the helicopter, "You few, aren't you going to come out and meet your future companions?"

As soon as Luo Yexi finished speaking, five little lolis jumped out from the helicopter and landed beside her.

"It, it's you?" Looking at these five small figures, Tina's voice trembled slightly.

"Big Sister Tina?" The five little lolis exclaimed in astonishment when they saw Tina standing beside Lingyun.

These five people, just like Tina, were products of An Rand's mechanized soldier surgery and could be considered Tina's younger sisters.

Asari Springsteen, nicknamed Giant Dragonfly, IP ranking 100.

Erin Spencer, nicknamed Meteor Fall, IP ranking 95.

Fay Krumile, nicknamed Black Viper, IP ranking 88.

Louise Selazny, nicknamed Devil King, IP ranking 70.

Rita Salisbury, nicknamed Underworld King, IP ranking 21, is the strongest leader among the five sisters.

In this world, Initiators and Promoters within the top 100 IP rankings are given nicknames that symbolize fear and respect. As for Tina herself, she is a powerhouse with an IP ranking of 98, nicknamed Black Wind.

"You, how are you all here?" Tina asked with a look of surprise.

"We, we..." Rita, who was in the lead, muttered, not knowing how to answer.

"They are, you could say, my spoils of war!" Luo Yexi said from the side.

"Spoils, spoils of war?" Tina said with a look of surprise.

"That's right, the two of us actually finished off the master you spoke of!" Luo Yexi squatted down and said to Tina.

"The master, he's dead?" Tina's expression changed drastically, her face full of complex emotions.

Regarding the death of An Rand, Tina's emotions were very complex. For the person who pushed her onto the operating table to be used as a lab rat for wanton modification, and then treated her as a tool for slaughter and a tool for making money after the modification, Tina naturally could not have any good feelings toward him. Just as she had told Lingyun before, ever since her parents passed away, her life had been nothing but pain.

But to say that Tina hated An Rand, that wasn't actually true; Tina herself was not a person who liked to harbor hatred toward others. It was just that upon hearing that An Rand had died, she suddenly felt a sense of relief in her heart.

"But Rita, what's the situation with the 'spoils of war' you mentioned?" Tina asked with some confusion.

"She is very powerful; the five of us combined are no match for her!" Rita said to Tina.

"Who is the 'she' you are talking about?" Tina asked.

"It's Sister Ye Xi!" Erin suddenly reached out and hugged Luo Yexi. "Even Rita didn't last a single move in front of Sister!"

"Rita didn't last a single move in front of Sister Ye Xi?" Tina couldn't help but be shocked.

One must know that Rita's ranking is 21, and this ranking was achieved by her alone. After all, An Rand was just a scientist with no strength to truss a chicken, only able to devise strategies from afar, while the actual fighting could only be completed by Rita alone. Under these circumstances, for Rita to be able to raise her ranking to 21 was enough to prove her strength. But for Rita to not even last a single move in front of Ye Xi, this was truly too exaggerated.

"Sister Ye Xi, is she that powerful?" Tina asked with her mouth wide open.

"That's right, that's right, Sister Ye Xi and Sister Saeko are both very powerful!" Erin, who was on the side, nodded vigorously.

At that time, Busujima Saeko had used a single blade to rip off the entire cover of An Rand's underground bunker, a scene that was deeply etched in her memory.

"An Rand is already dead, and they have also lost their IP rankings. If there are no accidents, they will be reclaimed by the International Initiator Supervising Organization. We didn't want them to go to that place, so we simply brought them back. This is the gift I mentioned, do you like it, Master?" Luo Yexi said to Lingyun with a smile.

"As for this, do you want to join Lingyun Town?" Lingyun leaned down and asked the group.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Louise said, jumping up and down.

Rita also nodded; the two powerful existences of Luo Yexi and Busujima Saeko also made her yearn for them.

In the hearts of these Cursed Children, Lingyun Town was the holy land in their minds, and being able to join this place was naturally the thing that made them the happiest.

"In this way, you can be considered to have completely cast off the past and be completely free!" Lingyun said to Tina beside him. "From now on, you six sisters will live well in Lingyun Town, and leave other matters to us to solve!"

As a mechanized soldier created by An Rand, Tina was a test subject meticulously modified by what could be called the strongest brain in this world. To a country, she was the highest crystallization of technology.

For Tina herself to betray An Rand and join Lingyun Town was absolutely unforgivable to him. Under these circumstances, even if An Rand turned the entire Tokyo upside down, he would definitely spare no cost to kill Tina.

Now that An Rand was dead, and even the five remaining mechanized soldiers of An Rand had been brought back by Luo Yexi and Busujima Saeko, Tina had naturally escaped the fate of being hunted down.

"Mm!" Tina grabbed Lingyun's hand tightly and nodded vigorously, a moving smile appearing on her face.
