Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#727 - Clear goals

Hearing another person's voice beside her, Betty shuddered instinctively.

She carefully turned her head and saw a refined and elegant woman.

Although this was her first official meeting with Elizabeth, Betty had secretly investigated her information before.

She was no stranger to this woman who had already moved into Liang Yue's manor ahead of her and publicly claimed to be his girlfriend.

As a result, Betty, who was already feeling chaotic and panicked, felt even worse.

However, under the control of this inexplicable mood, she suddenly forgot the terror of being kidnapped that had been lingering in her mind.

After pursing her lips, she quickly struggled to stand up from Liang Yue's arms, subconsciously touched the tears on her face, smoothed her hair, and then lowered her head and wanted to leave.

"I'll go first."

However, before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by Elizabeth.

"You are Betty, right? What's wrong?"

Looking at the woman in front of her who seemed much older than herself but was weak in character, a playful smile appeared on Elizabeth's delicate face.

Betty didn't answer when she heard this, but turned her head and looked at Liang Yue with tears in her eyes.

Her expression was pleading and aggrieved.

Seeing this, Liang Yue glared at Elizabeth unhappily, reached out and pulled Betty back into his arms.

"She was just kidnapped by a mutant named Purple Man. I've also found out who's behind him. It's those drug dealers. I'm going to have some fun with them."

"So~ you haven't told her about your situation yet?"

Hearing this, Elizabeth's attention was no longer on his words.

She subconsciously reached out and smoothed Betty's hair, looking at the woman in front of her who looked almost exactly like Alwyn, but had a completely different personality.

For a moment, she felt strange.

"Every time I'm about to share my secrets with Betty, she always says she's not ready yet~"

As he spoke, Liang Yue hugged her again and sat back on the sofa behind him, gently patted her back, and then looked at her eyes seriously and continued.

"However, I think now is a good opportunity."

"What?"

Betty was obviously still not used to her current posture, especially in front of a certain man's girlfriend, still relying on the other party's arms.

So, after quickly adjusting herself, she struggled again to stand up.

Unfortunately, her strength was nothing in front of Liang Yue.

"Listen, Betty~ I'm going to send you an invitation now, pay attention to receiving it."

Looking at the woman's slightly lost and stubborn face, Liang Yue said gently.

"What invitation?"

As soon as Betty's words fell, before she could react, a strange invitation appeared in her mind.

The invitation was very short, asking her if she was willing to become a villager of Liang Yue.

This method immediately made the woman a little overwhelmed, because this was something she had never encountered before.

Looking at Betty's somewhat confused eyes at this time, Liang Yue continued to encourage her from the side.

"Accept it~"

"… … Is this the secret you mentioned before?"

"Yes."

"She, Elizabeth, accepted it too, right?"

As she spoke, Betty looked back at Elizabeth, who was also looking at herself with some expectation.

The latter nodded and smiled.

"Yes~"

"Why, don't you mind?"

"You'll know why after you agree."

After listening to Elizabeth's words, Betty was silent for a while, raised her eyes and looked at Liang Yue, who was close at hand.

After thinking it over, she finally agreed.

In fact, Betty had nothing to hesitate about.

As of now, in the eyes of outsiders, she has long been regarded as someone who has a close relationship with Liang Yue, and it is very unusual~

This is the process that must be experienced when receiving the identity of a villager.

Fortunately, the duration is not long.

Because in addition to a language proficiency skill and the basic abilities of an MC villager, other additional content has been temporarily shielded by Liang Yue.

As an ordinary person, Betty was obviously not ready to receive that power.

Fortunately, they do not lack time, and when they arrive at the base world, and even the public world, she will have the time to improve her strength.

"Xiao Wu, let go and block the stock prices of those pharmaceutical companies, we are ready to go to war."

About half an hour later, Liang Yue took Betty, who had returned to normal, and Elizabeth to the base world. Before leaving, he did not forget to deploy his next move in advance.

His general plan for the next step is like this, divided into two steps in total.

First, let the intelligent brain Xiao Wu be responsible for blocking those pharmaceutical merchants who secretly attacked him and planned this kidnapping incident on the surface, and reduce their reliance on wrongdoing.

Second, Liang Yue will personally take action to carry out humanitarian destruction on those who attacked him… …

The goal is clear, the rhythm is simple~

If necessary, any means can be used.

Anyway, this time the bottom line was not broken by him first.

Unfortunately, the facts proved that the bottom line of those people was probably a little lower than Liang Yue expected.

Secretly, kidnapping and manipulation methods were used, but this did not prevent them from continuing to release their influence on the surface.

Through some means that are conspicuous and attract attention in the eyes of the public, such as media, public lawsuits, congressional transmissions, etc., to cause him trouble~

Isn't this~ the third day after he rescued Betty.

When Liang Yue entrusted Betty to Alwyn, Elizabeth, and others to help her adapt to the environment and initially upgrade and fight monsters, and he returned to reality, he had just shown his face.

He received Stark's message and multiple phone records.

… …

"Beep~"

"Hey~ buddy, you finally showed up?"

"Hmm, Betty was kidnapped by a bunch of scumbags before, and after rescuing her, I took her out to relax."

"Huh? Something like that happened?"

"The one who did it was a super villain named Purple Man. He is a mutant himself and can secrete a chemical hormone from his body that can exert an effect similar to hypnotism. Ordinary people will be controlled by him if they are not careful."

"… … Is Betty okay now?"

"Of course, I have already cured her. In fact, that kind of hormone is nothing to me."

"What about that Purple Man?"

"I burned him to death on the spot."

"Okay, anyway, he's a bad guy~"

"I have also found out the people who instructed him behind the scenes, and I am preparing to retaliate."

"Uh… … Let me guess, wouldn't it be those pharmaceutical companies who did it behind the scenes?"

"It's easy to guess~ Isn't it? When Old Ross came over before, he actually reminded me that those people would take some action against me, such as attacks in public opinion or something.

At that time, I thought that at most I would be chased by the media for a while, but I didn't expect that they would directly reach out to Betty, who is Old Ross's daughter.

Until now, she has been serving as the director of the military gene sanatorium. Hehehe~ I think those people probably didn't take me seriously. If I don't respond this time.

Those people who have a relationship with me will probably become their targets."
