Chapter 1603: In Russia with her
A few hours after Haru destroyed the headquarters of the White Knight Order in Vladivostok, Vasilisa had received a report, and she knew that he had come. Still, she didn"t care at all, sitting on her throne, swirling the wine on her gla.s.s until the aroma was perfectly shown before she sipped it slowly. Whether her subordinates or headquarters in Vladivostok were destroyed and killed, she also didn"t care. She had many people, and she had full control over this country, so even if she lost Vladivostok, it was nothing for her.
Vasilisa"s subordinates and bodyguards only stood there and didn"t say anything. Even though they knew that the headquarters of the White Knight Order in Vladivostok was destroyed, they didn"t show much change in their expressions.
After Vasilisa sipped her wine, she asked, "How are the casualties?" She was wondering how many people that she had lost in Vladivostok.
"It"s none, Empress."
Vasilisa"s subordinates reported respectfully.
"Oh?" Vasilisa was surprised and asked, "No one is dead?" She was stunned since she thought that when Haru came, he would kill many Saviors, but it seemed that this boy was too naive.
In truth, Vasilisa hadn"t seen Haru"s face, and besides Andou and Edward, the rest members of the Six Heads hadn"t seen him at all. With Haru"s ability, it was also impossible to get his information.
It was also what made Vasilisa feel a bit wary since when she met him for the first time, his ability was related to the soul. The soul was one of the most complex abilities unless she could destroy him in one attack, then it would be difficult for her to stop him, especially when he could enter anyone"s body. She looked at her people, and her eyes turned sharp, wondering whether she was here already.
When Vasilisa"s eyes turned sharp, everyone felt that they were in the tundra of Siberia, and they didn"t dare to meet her eyes, showing the terror of the Thunder Empress.
Vasilisa looked at everyone before shaking her head lightly since if Haru were here, he would already attack her, but it seemed that he wasn"t here.
Unlike in the original story where Vasilisa looked down on the original MC, in this story, she didn"t look down on Haru since she knew very well that this guy was very strong. Still, more than that, she was quite wary of his ability since it was very tricky. One thing that she didn"t want to happen is that he might be able to possess her body. If that happened, then she would lose all of her Empire after all. Still, she felt that it shouldn"t be possible since, if possible, he should already do it, which was why, but it didn"t erase her wariness, especially when she recalled Condrat"s hideous smile.
"Where"s that boy now?"
"According to our people, he should move to Khabarovsk, and his intention might also be to destroy the headquarters in that city," one of the subordinates reported.
"Hmm..." Vasilisa thought for a while and asked, "How did Bernard and his people lose?" She needed to know whether Haru had other abilities other than soul possession and redirecting ability.
"According to Bernard"s people, they felt that their souls were hit by an impact or something before all of them pa.s.sed out in an instant."
"Then?"
"Bernard didn"t pa.s.s out immediately when Kasugano Haruka used his ability, and unlike everyone who is unscathed, his chin is broken, and it should be because of Kasugano Haruka," one of her subordinates, whose name was Darko, reported respectfully. Still, then, there was a trace of hesitation on his face.
"But, Empress..."
"What"s wrong? Tell me, as long as you have his information, tell me anything about him," Vasilisa said, but when the only girl among her subordinates heard her words, she was wondering why it felt like Vasilisa was in love with this boy?
"Well... it might not be related to Kasugano Haruka, but a meteoroid has destroyed the headquarters at Vladivostokoid," Darko said.
"Meteoroid?"
Vasilisa raised her eyebrow, but then she thought of something and remembered one girl that had an ability of gravity.
"Katya, if I"m not wrong, one of your friends has the ability to gravity, right? So is it possible for her to pull down a meteoroid from s.p.a.ce?" Vasilisa asked.
Katya Eschkevna Honda is one of the Russian Saviors and Vasilisa Yuryevna Mostovaya"s closest subordinates and leaders.
However, Katya was startled when she heard Vasilisa had mentioned her name. She then quickly responded respectfully, "Yes." But then, she felt that she kept being stared at by Vasilisa, which made her nervous until she remembered that she hadn"t answered all of Vasilisa"s answers.
"No, it is impossible for my friend to pull down a meteoroid."
"I see..."
Vasilisa sipped her wine again, and she should think of him to have an ability related to gravity, but it was more powerful than one of her subordinates.
"What shall we do now, Empress?" Darko asked.
"We don"t need to do anything," Vasilisa said.
"What?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Instead, the people here should... say, reinforce the defenses around Krasnoyarsk," Vasilisa said.
"...You"re going to abandon everything in east Siberia?"
"Even if I order them to close in on Kasugano right now, they won"t make it."
"I see. That"s brilliant, Thunder Empress! An astute decision!"
Vasilisa"s subordinates quickly praised her, Vasilisa only showed a light smile, but she wondered why there was a restless feeling in her heart at this moment.
"I don"t care who, but I hope someone will at least take one of his arms with them," Vasilisa said and started to laugh.
Everyone then started to laugh together, then praising Vasilisa, only Katya seemed to be very worried at this moment. Still, everyone ignored her since all of their attention was on their empress, Vasilisa.
Inside the train, Haru looked at Angela, who was already in her tank top and panties, covering her lower half with a blanket.
"You sure want to sleep with me?" Haru asked.
"Why not? Or do you have trouble sleeping without your favorite pillow? Shall I hold you, then?" Angela tried to tease Haru, but...
"Is that alright? In truth, I can"t sleep without hugging someone."
Haru then took off his shirt and pants, which caused Angela to be dumbfounded. She opened her eyes wide when she saw his body and then a huge bulge on his pants.
"Then I shall accept your offer."
Haru moved toward Angela and hugged her waist, ready to sleep together, but he was pushed away.
"You perverted, brat! Let go of me!"
"Eh? But isn"t it you who gave me an offer to hug you?"
"I wasn"t serious, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!! If you try to do something, then I will report what you have done to your girlfriend!!"
"I was also joking, Angela. You"re too serious," Haru said with a sigh, showing disappointment.
"...."
Angela kept staring at Haru and clearly didn"t believe Haru"s words. She might only remember, but this guy had a lot of girlfriends if she wasn"t wrong.
Haru turned off the light and was about to go to sleep, but...
"Say Kasugano."
"Call me, Haru, Angela."
"Then Haru, can I ask you a question?" Angela asked.
"What"s wrong?"
"Have you... Have you done that kind of thing with your girlfriend?" Angela asked with a blush.
"That kind of thing? What do you mean, Angela? I don"t understand," Haru said with a confused expression.
"...."
It might be Angela"s imagination, but she felt that this guy was teasing her. She gritted her teeth, and showed a fl.u.s.tered expression, then said, "I mean..."
"I mean?"
"s.e.x! Have you done that kind of thing with your girlfriend?" Angela asked with a blush on her face.
"Have you done that kind of thing with Edward, Angela?" Haru asked.
When Haru asked this question, Angela suddenly got depressed. Then, she let out a long sigh and said, "Edward-sama is not interested in me... he kept ignoring my advance."
"I see..."
Haru nodded and said, "Let"s sleep first. After that, we should wake up early."
Angela nodded and was about to close her eyes, but then she realized that this b.a.s.t.a.r.d hadn"t answered her question. She was about to call him, but she saw him sleeping so soundly.
"..."
"This guy..."
Angela wondered whether this guy was pretending to sleep, but she thought that he might be tired after fighting a lot of people, so she didn"t say anything and slept. However, she had to admit that when he slept, he was adorable for some reason.
