A foreigner's journey

The surrounding lights all dimmed at some point, deliberately creating a dark area.

The helicopter, whose entire fuselage was painted matte black, landed on the huge platform on the roof of the building, which was originally a super-large apron for parking helicopters. Heather and others stood in the center of the apron, watching the helicopter land steadily.

The cabin opened, and Rufus Shinra, who was wearing a white coat, walked out first, followed closely by two female Tuckers agents wearing Tuckers suits. Without exception, the three of them did not carry any firearms. Obviously, It's to show your attitude.

Heather had already put on a coat and was standing in the middle of the tarmac with her arms folded, looking impatient: "You are really cautious... did you deliberately leave the Shinra headquarters building before to avoid suspicion?"

"Although I will be the first heir after my father's death, now is a critical moment and I must avoid some rumors after all."

When Rufus Shinra arrived, he already knew everything that happened in the Shinra headquarters building. It can only be said that he was very lucky that he had chosen the right partner. He snapped his fingers behind him, and a female Tuckers agent with short blond shoulder-length hair picked up a beautiful black leather suitcase, stepped forward and handed it to Heather.

"What, your own life money?" Heather did not accept it, but asked jokingly.

Rufus smiled: "Please don't say such terrible things casually. This is my unilateral thank you."

Barrett received Heather's signal and stepped forward to take the box. As soon as he opened it, he found that the box was shining with all kinds of lights. There were all kinds of magic crystals neatly stacked inside, including rare varieties such as purple attribute stones and red summoning stones. . There is also a small book specially placed in the box, which lists the names and effects of the magic crystal in detail according to the number.

"Most of them are natural varieties, not cheap artificial ones." Jesse was very knowledgeable in this area, and he immediately saw that the quality of these magic crystals was astonishingly good.

"Unfortunately, the only Bahamut summoning stone in Shinra Company has disappeared along with Sephiroth."

Rufus really wanted to collect some good things for Heather, so naturally he should try his best to win over such a high-quality and powerful ally. However, Bahamut summoning stones are too rare. With the development of wars and times, they are constantly lost in every corner of the world or are directly annihilated and returned to the flow of life.

Heather did not accept this trick: "You are indeed very courageous. You actually dare to appear in front of me like this. If I kill you, Shinra Company will fall apart immediately, right?"

Rufus is the most suitable successor to Shinra Corporation. If he also dies here, this super kingdom that dominates the world will immediately fall apart and form a new era of divided powers.

"It's just because I'm sure you don't want to kill me that I'm here."

The smile on Rufus's face did not diminish: "Once Shinra Corporation collapses, the residents of the slums will be the first to suffer. Then the whole world will immediately break out into war due to lack of resources and the loss of suppressors. Only if I live and inherit the position of president can I Maintain the current situation as much as possible and let Shinra Corporation change the direction of progress according to my will."

"The way forward?" Barrett asked doubtfully.

"My father wanted to use money and force to control the entire world. On the surface, it did work. People believed that Shinra would save them. If you work for Shinra, you will get paid. If you are attacked by terrorists, Shinra troops will come. Save them. Human life is inseparable from Mako, and the Shinra Corporation that dominates Mako is the god of mankind. But my father and I have completely different ideas."

Rufus spread his hands and talked:

"I will lead Shinra Company to change its strategic direction and take the lead in abandoning the use of Mako energy. I have been to various parts of the world over the years and witnessed countless desolation of the land and human tragedies caused by excessive extraction of Mako. Mako is not necessary. I will prove this to the world. Of course, it is definitely not realistic to completely abandon Mako all at once. This process needs to be planned slowly, but Shinra Corporation will develop more suitable energy sources during this period and become a leader in the energy industry again. .When the time comes, Shinra will once again become the hero of all mankind under my leadership."

"Wow... I've seen President Shinra's speech on TV. This young master is as arrogant as his father. He is worthy of being a father and son." Jesse whispered in Tifa's ear, teasing Detifa covered her mouth in joy.

"I'm not interested in knowing your ambitions." Heather impatiently interrupted Rufus' passionate inaugural speech: "If you want to survive, you have to show your unique value."

In the original work, Rufus was not a good guy. Although he finally changed his ways, he still caused many obstacles for the protagonist and his party in the main plot. If the other party's answer doesn't satisfy Heather, then Heather will really kill him here. Anyway, the deal has been completed, so it doesn't count as Heather breaking the agreement.

Rufus raised his hand to stop the restlessness of the two female Tuckers agents, and the smile on his face was as perfect as when he first met Heather:

"The Shinra Company is the most powerful in the world in terms of money and intelligence capabilities. Although I don't know why Sephiroth clashed with you and even almost demolished half of the Shinra headquarters building, I think the relationship between you and Sephiroth The battle has not yet been completed, right? I can fully mobilize the resources of the Shinra Company to help you search for traces of Sephiroth around the world. It is difficult for you to travel around the world to find someone who is deliberately hiding, especially if the other party is still The former world's strongest warrior who is very good at hiding his identity."

As he spoke, the female Tuckers agent behind him brought over another box, which contained an exquisite flip phone: "This is a PHS portable mobile phone, the latest mobile phone developed by Shinra Company. We will use this phone to Keep in touch with you, and I will inform you of any news about Sephiroth in a timely manner."

Heather raised her eyebrows. It was not a smartphone. It seemed to be different from the FF7 reset version.

Seeing that Heather did not refuse, Rufus felt reassured, looked at the others with a smile, and bowed slightly: "Everyone, although the Shinra Company under my father's rule has had various unpleasantnesses with you, But I guarantee that the new Shinra Company will not let you down."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. In addition, as the leader of the team, Heather did not say anything to refute, so everyone calmed down. Even Barrett, who had always hated Shinra, said no more.

"President..." The female agent stepped forward and signaled Rufus to pay attention to the time.

Rufus smiled slightly and looked at Heather: "We don't have much time. Various executives within the Shinra Company will definitely come to investigate my father's situation. By then, I will focus on suppressing them and taking charge of the power. When that happens, Sometimes I might feel a little wronged to you."

"You mean...?" Claude frowned.

"I will order the dispatch of the Shinra army to pursue Sephiroth and you. Of course, those who pursue Sephiroth are the real main force. The number of Shinra troops responsible for chasing you will not be large, and most of them have low combat power and low-end weapons. Low-level soldiers. As you know, new officers have to put on a show when they take office. After all, you are also the murderers who killed the president and destroyed the Shinra headquarters building."

Heather said sarcastically: "I'm afraid that many diehards who are foolishly loyal to your father will be included in the troops chasing us, right? You are really good at calling people when you use us to eradicate dissidents, young master."

"It's just allies helping each other. It's not difficult for you, right?"

Rufus smiled sincerely:

"In about 30 minutes, the pursuit force will surround the Shinra headquarters building. In the meantime, you can stop for a moment when passing through the exhibition hall on the first floor. I have prepared a small gift for you. I believe you will like it."
