The Evil Scientist is Too Competent

Chapter 96

While the Evilusroid and the Dragon Bone Soldier were competing to build their reputation in City W, Regalia was having an unofficial meeting with the president of the Dragon Company.

Even in a war zone where soldiers were shedding blood, the rulers exchanged smiles and pleasantries. When Regalia received a proposal from Hisberk for a meeting, she gladly accepted it.

At that moment, she felt confident that Hisberk wouldn’t attack or suppress her since they were part of the established powers—a code among the elite. Breaking it would invite scorn from all cities.

“Welcome, President Regalia.”

“Thank you for the invitation, President Hisberk.”

Under the Dragon Sky, the two met in the skyscraper of the Dragon Company, with smiles plastered all over their faces. However, their words and hidden emotions were anything but light.

“Recently, you’ve been making some interesting things.”

“Our re

I silently reached into my pocket. A stiff, square, toy-sized robot came out.

“Falcon, I need your help.”

[You called, Master?]

Emerging from my grasp, Falcon quickly regained its original size. Climbing into a cockpit large enough to hold all five of us, I ordered Falcon.

“Fly, Falcon. Faster than anyone.”

[Yes, sir.]

“Our destination is City D.”

To the dragon’s lair coiled inside the city.

The falcon of lizard hunting quickly took to the skies.

In Regalia’s solitary confinement.

Regalia, along with Vira and Kitty, fidgeted with her wristwatch, her movements akin to a child unable to suppress anxiety.

“……Just hold on a little longer, miss.”

“Hmm-? What do you mean, hold on?”

“Aren’t you worried whether your well-being is in danger?”

Regalia looked at Kitty, her expression showing disbelief at Kitty’s words.

“Why would I be worried about that? I’ll be safe and free soon.”

“What do you mean…?”

“I just contacted some of the executives. They’ll notice if something’s wrong with me and come to rescue me.”

Hearing Regalia’s words, Kitty furrowed her brow in confusion. This was a secret detention center of the Dragon Company, entirely cut off from external contact. They were so confident that they hadn’t confiscated anything from the two guards.

Indeed, after trying to contact her smartphone for some time, Kitty found that she could not communicate with the outside world. How could calling in the executives even be possible?

“Could it be…?”

“Right. It’s a device made by scientist.”

“……That shouldn’t be possible— I’m sorry. That was a slip of the tongue, Miss.”

Hearing Regalia’s words, Kitty sighed. Ever since she picked up that damned vagrant on the street, everything seemed to have gone wrong. She felt like that man was the root of all their troubles.

But it was also a fact that the scientific genius was favored by the lady, so Kitty swallowed the words that were trying to escape her.

“Well, he did seem to have some skills even if he was a weird guy…”

It was indeed malicious that such excellent skills were of no help to the boss, only tormenting her.

While Kitty inwardly cursed that scientist, a loud thud echoed from somewhere. It was impossible to gauge how huge the noise was given how soundproofed the place was.

After a few resounding bangs, Vira instinctively hugged Regalia and Kitty.

“Miss-!”

A moment later, as Vira’s barrier enveloped the two─ the upper part of the building they were trapped in suddenly whipped away. Something colossal had ripped off the upper structure.

Above the empty ceiling, the cloudy sky became visible. Strange, trail-like clouds spread across the sky.

“Are you alright, Miss?”

“……I’m fine, but what’s that—.”

“How did this happen…?”

As Vira and Kitty surveyed the surroundings after rescuing the boss, they were momentarily speechless at the sight before them. It was a scene straight out of a children’s animation that the boss loved to watch.

That is, a massive robot and an even bigger dinosaur brawling.

[─Boss!? Are you alright!?]

Just then, a voice with a hint of the scientist’s tone echoed from the robot’s mouth, making the boss chuckle bitterly while simultaneously looking at Kitty.

With a look that seemed to ask, didn’t I say this would happen?
