Chapter 25 Velys Love – Laylah Doubts…
Hikaru nodded at that, he felt that Velys' analysis was extremely accurate.
"However…" Suddenly Velys rubbed her chin and said, "The problem we have is that it is very difficult to buy weapons in a city like this, and we need a place to store food safely."
"Besides, we need a generator or something like that to store food for a long time."
"Each type of food has a different way of storing it, but what they all have in common is that they require mechanical intervention and also electricity to operate."
"That's why I came to you. Velys… can I trust you?"
Hikaru looked straight into Velys' eyes, his gaze seemingly seeing through her.
Velys didn't think much of it, she immediately replied: "Of course."
Hikaru smiled at that, took out a bank card and a set of keys, and gave them to Velys.
"Here's my bank card, there's 300 million dollars inside, use it however you feel is right."
"This is the key to Noack's mansion, I have hired someone to clean it, can you help me with the rest?"
Velys suddenly laughed, and a very bright smile appeared on her face. Her smile and blonde hair made her look like a sunflower full of life.
"Thank you, Hikaru. Thank you for trusting me. I certainly won't let you down."
Velys held the bank card and the key to the Noack mansion tightly in her hands as if she were afraid that they would run away.
Hikaru nodded and patted Velys' shoulder: "Don't try too hard. You should just do the best you can. As for how to move food during the apocalypse, I will take care of that."
Velys nodded, she trusted him completely.
"Hikaru, can I move to Noack Mansion to live with you?"
Hikaru frowned and asked, "Are you sure? If you move there, you will live with me. You should remember that in the apocalypse, the law will be broken."
"At that time, if I play tricks on you, no one will save you."
When Velys heard that, her face was red, her breathing slightly increased, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
"Really?"
"Heh?!"
"Are you going to do that to me?"

Hikaru: "..."
Hikaru saw her expression, and he felt a headache. It seemed that what he was threatening her with only made her more excited.
"Okay, you can move there. But you must…"
Before Hikaru could finish his sentence, Velys happily nodded: "Um! I will work extremely hard and be completely loyal to you."
Velys held out her pinky finger and said, "let's cross our fingers and make a promise."
Hikaru sighed, "Are you a child?"
However, Velys' hopeful gaze defeated him. So Hikaru could only shake hands with her.
"Um! I will never betray you or leave you. Even if I die, I will die in your arms."
Hikaru: "..."
Is this a marriage vow? Are you crazy? No matter how much you love me, there's no need to swear like this.
Hikaru, of course, knew that even if he said this, it wouldn't change Velys' mind. On the contrary, this situation was also good. So he could let Velys take charge of Noack.
What about him?
Of course, he had more work to do.
"Okay, wait for me for a moment, I'll pack my suitcase and then go with you."
Hikaru frowned and asked, "You don't have to be in such a hurry, tomorrow..."
"No, tonight I will be staying at the Noack mansion. Don't worry, even though I'm a girl, I don't have as many tools as the others."
Velys laughed, then immediately got up to leave.
Hikaru sighed, however, he also stood up: "It's getting dark, let me escort you."
Velys smiled silently after hearing that. She nodded, and her face flushed with joy.
…
At the city hospital.
Right now, in the intensive care unit, Akiko is interrogating the other two thugs.
Behind her, Laylah and Tadashi just sat nearby and watched.
"What was the cause of your injuries?" Akiko frowned and asked.
At this time, the thug, who was shot in the stomach and in the leg, pretended to be asleep.
As for the thug who was shot only in the leg, he only sighed and said, "We had an accident, nobody shot us."
"You liar!" Akiko angrily shouted: "You were shot by Hikaru, right? Does he have a gun?"
The thug just remained silent, anyway, Bevi had ordered him not to speak. Otherwise, tomorrow they would find his body lying in the sewer.
At this moment, Laylah sighed and said, "Akiko, you are gathering information, not investigating crimes. Besides… we can't draw conclusions if Hikaru used a gun or not."
"Your questions are all concluding that Hikaru is a criminal. Akiko, I know you hate Hikaru, but that's why you're making such a subjective decision."
Hearing that, Akiko frowned and gritted her teeth: "But… the person sitting in this place is clearly injured."
Laylah shook his head and sighed, "That doesn't prove that the wound was caused by Hikaru. Even if that wound was caused by Hikaru, it is unlikely that he used a gun to cause such an injury."
"Akiko, we're gathering information, not interrogating criminals."
Tadashi, who was standing nearby, also frowned at Laylah, however, his gaze was filled with lust.
I didn't think that there was still such a sexy rose on the 7th police team.
Laylah… you will be mine, he thought.
Tadashi laughed and said, "Laylah… is that right. You may not know it, but I know very well what kind of person Hikaru is…"
Before Tadashi finished speaking, Laylah interrupted, "Tadashi, you don't have to teach the police how to do their work."
"No matter what kind of person Hikaru is, I still need clear evidence and witnesses to draw conclusions."
"Please do not interfere with our information gathering and investigation."
Tadashi didn't get angry when he heard that, he just gave a warm and gentle smile typical of male leads and said, "No, of course I didn't mean it."
"I am just an enthusiastic citizen who wants to help you catch criminals as quickly and easily as possible."
Akiko smiled and said, "Thank you, Tadashi."
"Hahahaha…" Tadashi replied with a smile, "No need to thank me. This is what we need to do. Every citizen has a responsibility to uphold the peace in their society, right?"
Akiko nodded with a smile, she felt that Tadashi was radiating an aura of righteousness.
Laylah didn't say anything, she just glanced at Akiko and Tadashi, then shook her head and sighed.
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and a muscular man who was nearly 190cm tall entered. He wore a pair of jeans and a tight-fitting T-shirt, showing the muscles behind the shirt.
That's right, it was Brevil, no, to be more precise, people only knew him as Bevi.
Behind him were 5 other men with extremely cold faces, like notorious criminals.
The thug saw Bevi coming and shivered, Cold sweat started pouring out of him.
"Looks like I came at the wrong time." Bevi spoke, his voice extremely cold.
He glanced at Akiko, Laylah, then back at Tadashi.
Bevi waved his hand, and the five men standing behind him immediately put the thug in a wheelchair and then pushed him out.
Akiko saw this and immediately shouted: "Wait! I'm taking his testimony, what do you want to do?"
Bevi immediately stood in front of Akiko, his large build making her a little scared and causing her to step back.
"Sorry, doesn't this female police officer know that we have the right to remain silent?" Bevi said, his gaze was so cold that Akiko shivered a little with fear.
After all, Akiko was just an ordinary policeman, and Bevi had killed many people on the battlefield.
In comparison, Bevi was like an aggressive wolf, and Akiko was like a husky that had been cared for since childhood.
"That's right." At this moment, Laylah stood in front of Akiko as if protecting her. Laylah crossed her arms over her chest and said: "Every citizen has the right to remain silent until there is evidence to accuse."
"Sorry, Akiko was just gathering information, but she seemed a bit agitated."
"Is that so..." He gazed at Laylah and Akiko like a wolf looking at its prey, then he turned his head to Tadashi and said, "Tadashi, if you continue to cause trouble, I will make things public. Do you understand."
"What do you mean?" Tadashi was startled. He glanced at Akiko and Laylah because he was afraid they would hear things he didn't want Bevi to say.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"Huh! It's up to you… but you should remember, there are limits to my patience."
"Bevi… are you protecting Hikaru?"
When Bevi heard that, he smiled and said: "I don't understand what you are saying."
He repeated what Tadashi said earlier. Tadashi was so angry that his face turned red.
"Ah! Are you angry? Don't be angry, or your mask will be burned by your anger." Bevi said in a very disdainful voice, then turned to leave.
Tadashi was furious, his fists were clenched so tightly that they turned white. Of course, his actions could not escape Laylah's gaze.
After Bevi took the thug away, Akiko snapped out of her daze. She angrily yelled, "Damn it! Who is that bastard? How dare he threaten the police?"
Laylah shook his head and said, "Akiko, he didn't say anything threatening to you."
"But…" Akiko wanted to explain, but she realised that she didn't know what to say because Laylah was right.
