Chapter 217: Rapid Transmission Training, Part 3
Seeing Tolle spacing out, Erica lightly poked his cheek with her finger and said, "What's wrong? Did I scare you? The Sahaku family isn't easy to deal with, you know. If Mina really has her eyes on you, there's no escaping her.
But don't worry. You should already know what kind of person she is. Mina's someone who puts her career first. For the sake of the Sahaku family, she'd never marry a man without background or influence.
At most, she'll secretly play with you for a while, then toss you aside. You don't need to worry about what'll happen to you or your little girlfriend."
(▼皿▼#) Tolle grumbled inwardly, If she knew what I was really capable of, she'd never let me go. Someone that obsessed with power and ambition could never resist my overwhelming charm.
Still, that foolish little brother of hers, Gina, isn't dead yet, is he? That means she shouldn't be too ruthless for now. If that's the case, there might still be room to maneuver.
But as for that idiot brother—forget him. Hopefully, his arrogance keeps him from coming for the rapid transmission training. The sooner he dies, the sooner he's freed.
Even if he does get stronger, he'll just die when he duels Luo anyway.
Well, we'll just have to see how fate plays out.
That night, after Tolle's energy had recovered, another female officer came for the rapid transmission of power.
This one, though, was completely unfamiliar—someone he'd never seen before. In the end, the procedure took place in the rest area.
When it was over, she helped Tolle lie down on the bed beside her to rest. And, of course, they ended up doing everything that shouldn't be done.
Only after their rest did they start talking.
It turned out she was Mina's trusted adjutant, named Julia Lida. Like Mina, she was also a first-generation Coordinator.
What Tolle hadn't expected was that she was a married woman—a widow, in fact. Her husband had died serving the nation not long after their marriage.
She had no children either, as it was difficult for Coordinators to conceive. Still, she didn't want to have a child with someone weaker than her.
So… everyone can guess what happened next. In the end, Tolle was the one who benefited.
From that day on, as long as Tolle remained at the Orb Dawn Society factory, Julia stayed by his side—accompanying and protecting him.
If he went out, she couldn't guard him openly, so she'd protect him from the shadows instead. After all, secrecy was crucial; they couldn't make things too obvious.
Still, Tolle couldn't help but suspect—was she really protecting him, or keeping him under surveillance?
Apparently, Julia had always been quite capable in combat. She'd served as Mina's adjutant and bodyguard, and now, after Tolle's "enhancement," she was even stronger.
Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to get up so soon.
Tolle sighed to himself—wasn't this like a princess's maid sent ahead as a tester? Maybe Mina wanted her to see if he was "functional" or had any hidden defects.
Well, that wasn't his problem. Tolle wrapped his arm around Julia and slept soundly until morning.
The next day, Tolle was woken up by Erica, who greeted him with a fragrant kiss as she entered the room. "Tolle, wake up. It's time to start work."
Half-asleep, Tolle mumbled, "Erica… just one more minute. Let me sleep one more minute."
Erica sighed helplessly and went to pull open the curtains.
The sudden flood of sunlight made Tolle turn over lazily. When his hand brushed against the woman lying next to him, he froze—he'd completely forgotten Julia was still there.
Worse yet, Erica had just walked in!
Julia woke up soon after and, without a hint of embarrassment, sat up and greeted Erica cheerfully, "Oh, Erica, you're here too."
Erica rubbed her forehead and sighed, "I seriously don't know what I was thinking yesterday, introducing you to Tolle. Look at this mess now. Where's your usual composure? Thrown it all away?"
"Erica-chan, don't be mad. I didn't expect things to move this fast either. Maybe it's just fate."
"Ugh, still… don't you think this happened a little too fast?"
Julia laughed heartily. "Hahaha, too late now!"
Erica shook her head, exasperated. "Honestly, I don't know what to do with you." Then she turned and glared sharply at Tolle. "You got that out of your system last night, right?
Today, Asagi, Juri, and Mayura will each undergo rapid transmission training. Don't you dare have any funny ideas about them.
And from now on, treat Julia well. Even if you get married someday, don't forget her. Understand?"
Tolle had just nodded when Julia leaned in and gave him a kiss.
Erica, looking slightly jealous, snapped, "Alright, enough! Let's get ready and start with Asagi first."
Julia helped Tolle get dressed, and after the three of them had breakfast, they headed back to the training room.
Waiting there were Asagi and Mina.
When Asagi saw Tolle enter, she immediately undressed, shyly covering her delicate chest with her hands. "Tolle, I'm ready. Please… be gentle. It's my first time."
Tolle's mouth twitched. So they think this is some kind of indecent dual cultivation? This is a proper Eastern Undefeated martial art technique!
And not that gender-confusing Sunflower Manual from Blackwood Cliff, either.
"It's fine, Asagi. Don't be nervous. Relax. There won't be any… overly intimate contact."
Asagi whispered, "Oh…"
Why did that sound like disappointment to him? Did she actually want something to happen?
Watching Asagi's awkward, stiff movements, Tolle followed the usual procedure and completed the rapid transmission process.
Meanwhile, Mina and Julia carefully observed Tolle's every move, trying to learn how to transmit power themselves.
But it was futile—this wasn't something one could simply copy. It was all thanks to the neo DG Cells.
During the breaks, he taught them how to cultivate properly and even gave personal guidance.
Everyone but Tolle was completely naked, making the whole scene a test of his willpower.
During the rest period, Tolle stuffed himself with large portions of meat—fish and steak—to replenish his energy faster.
Next was Mayura. Having heard the full details from Asagi, she moved much more smoothly, cooperating with Tolle skillfully to complete the process.
Then came Juri, who was still rather shy. She nervously undressed, her face flushed bright red, lowering her head and standing frozen like a wooden statue—unable to even look at Tolle.
