Chapter 90 Raiden Mei Decides to Become a Vengeancer

Familiar ceiling.

Opening her eyes, Mei couldn't help but think as she looked at the cloud-like white sky above her.

Ever since something happened a long time ago, she seems to frequently end up in the hospital for some reason.

But strangely, she could never remember why.

But this time, she remembers it clearly and will never forget it for the rest of her life!

Struggling to sit up in bed, Mei glanced to the side and, sure enough, found her personal belongings in the tray on the bedside table.

Yes, she only had the one cell phone she usually used; the one her father gave her as a last possession had disappeared.

I don't know if it was taken by that white-haired masked man.

Whom did the father want him to turn to for help?

With a thought in mind, Mei skillfully turned on her phone and went to the news page.

[Shocking! ME Company President Raiden Ryoma suspected of economic fraud amounting to 3 billion yen!]

really!

Seeing this unsurprising scene, Mei couldn't stop her tears from falling.

Clearly… her father sacrificed himself to protect her!

But that guy actually dared to tarnish the reputation of a dead man!?

Unforgivable!

She will never forgive that bastard!

Just you wait, Walter!

One day, I, Raiden Mei, will definitely kill you!

Wiping away her tears, she couldn't help but clench her fists, and a purple halo appeared in the girl's eyes.

ga-

The door opened, and a slightly overweight middle-aged man walked in. When he saw the girl waking up, his face immediately lit up with joy: "Miss, you're awake."

The person who came was Takada, a driver who had previously worked for the Raiden family.

Mei glanced at the man and nodded coldly, "Mr. Takada."

"Miss, you... you knew everything?"

Noticing that the girl was holding a phone with a picture of Raiden Ryoma on the screen, Takada instantly understood.

Mei nodded slightly.

"Miss, the boss is definitely not that kind of person. He must have been framed!"

Takada thought the girl was completely disappointed in her father, so he quickly tried to comfort her.

“I know.” Mei nodded. “Mr. Takada, you don’t need to say anything more. I actually know everything.”

"Miss, you must... What? Miss, you believe the boss?"

He was about to say something more, but after hearing Mei's words, Takada was stunned.

He hasn't even listed any evidence yet.

“Mr. Takada, my father has died.”

Looking at the middle-aged man, Mei said expressionlessly.

"What!? The boss..."

His eyes widened instantly, and Takada's expression froze.

He didn't actually know the reason for all of this; he just woke up to see the news and received news that Raiden Mei was injured and hospitalized, so he rushed over to comfort the girl.

He thought that at most, the Thunder Dragon Horse was being framed.

"Yes, he died right in front of me."

With a cold expression, Mei got out of bed, packed her belongings, and walked out of the ward.

She doesn't have time to waste in a place like this.

Seeing Mei's ashen face, Takada panicked: "Miss, wait, you..."

“Mr. Takada!” Mei paused, turned to look at the man, and said, “You are a good person.”

So stop it, this has nothing to do with you.

From this day forward, you are no longer the driver for the Raiden family.

With the assets belonging to Lei Dian Long Ma frozen, the Lei Dian family can no longer afford, nor will they need, a driver.

Moreover, she had to face Walter alone.

Wearing slippers, her footsteps echoed across the gleaming tiled floor of the hospital. The girl's silhouette was lonely yet resolute, like a general about to embark on a battlefield.

Seeing this scene and feeling the immense pressure emanating from the girl, Takada involuntarily stopped.

Just now, that girl, who was always as gentle as a Yamato Nadeshiko, gave him the feeling of a lion whose territory had been invaded.

But... he's the Raiden family's driver!

Suppressing his fear, Takada hurried to catch up.

-------------------------------------

Back home, looking at the huge gap in the living room wall that stretched from the ceiling all the way to the second floor, Mei fell silent.

"The police said that you were attacked by terrorists last night, and they even used high-performance explosives..."

After glancing at the indifferent-looking girl, Takada spoke cautiously.

"Terrorists...explosives?"

Mei gave a cold laugh.

Yes, that is indeed a very reasonable explanation.

Aside from the oddly shaped opening...

After all, who would believe that this gap was just something someone casually slashed with a sword?

This is an era that values science.

"Miss, are you... going to school this afternoon?"

Startled by the girl's smile, Takada broke out in a cold sweat and asked in a low voice.

"School..." Upon hearing this word, Mei paused for a few seconds, then said, "Go."

Where else could she go besides school?

Let's go and see.

She had a premonition that Walter would reappear sooner or later!

Time flew by, and soon it was afternoon.

Mei arrived at Chiba Academy for the first time in Takada's private car. Despite the gossip along the way, she found her seat already surrounded by a group of students.

"Hey! Does the daughter of a con artist still dare to come to school?"

Upon seeing Mei, someone immediately let out a cold laugh.

Mei glanced at the person and recognized him as the one who was always fawning over her, even asking her with a smile yesterday if she could visit ME Company.

Ignoring them, Mei simply pushed her way through the crowd to her seat.

"..."

Looking at the dense doodles on her desktop, Mei couldn't help but fall silent for a few seconds.

Oh well, it's not like it's unusable anyway.

With that thought in mind, Mei put her schoolbag on the table.

Snapped!

A hand immediately reached out and slapped the backpack away.

With his palms on the table, the first person to speak stared directly at Mei, his face full of mockery: "Hey! I'm talking to you! Don't you have ears?!"

Bang!

He punched the girl directly in the face, so hard that several of her teeth flew out, and blood mixed with saliva splattered all over the people around them.

"First, my father is not a fraudster."

Second, my name is Raiden Mei, not Hey.

Third, I have ears, but I'm too lazy to bother with you.

Looking expressionlessly at the fearful crowd around her, Mei first bent down to pick up her schoolbag, dusted it off, and then slowly asked, "Now, do you have any more questions?"

Covering her cheek with one hand, the girl who had been hit stared at Mei in shock, as if she couldn't believe that the other girl actually dared to lay a hand on her: "You...you..."

Mei glanced at her, and the girl immediately shut her mouth.

"Class is about to start, aren't you going home?"

Mei asked coldly, her gaze slowly sweeping across the faces of the group.

Staring at them with such a cold, icy gaze, fear crept onto everyone's faces, and they hurriedly returned to their seats as quickly as possible.

In their minds, Mei had always been a gentle and elegant young lady.

But looking into those purple eyes, which resembled those of a raging lion, they felt as if they could glimpse the underworld within them.

That's... ridiculous.

When you act like a sheep, these people will pounce on you like hyenas and tear every piece of your flesh apart.

When you act like a wolf, these people will become the most docile sheep.

Shaking her head, Mei felt a deep sense of powerlessness and exhaustion.

That Walter was able to kill her father right in front of her, and even manipulate the country's judicial system to smear her already dead father.

But she could only play student games with a bunch of immature kids in a place like this.

It's...so ugly!

His right hand was clenched into a fist, his fingernails digging deep into his flesh, and drops of blood seeped down onto the table, adding a touch of crimson to the already colorful graffiti.

-------------------------------------

"What?! Raiden Ryoma is dead!?"

A woman's shocked shout came through the communication channel.

"Is there anything surprising about that, Lord Cocolia?"

Shihen said calmly, his voice hoarse and low.

Why did you kill him?!

Cocolia's voice was suppressed and filled with anger.

Does this guy even know what Raiden Ryoma's death means?

"He swung his sword at me, so naturally I had to swung my sword at him in return."

Unfortunately, he seemed a bit too weak and couldn't catch it.

Time marks are explained simply.

Cocolia: "..."
