Lisa still heard the content of their conversation, and what she cared about most, without a doubt, was Javier's intention to go to South America, because without any hesitation, Lisa directly and frankly asked, especially regarding Javier's attempt to hide things from her.
"You already know?"
"Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that a few old friends of mine need my help, and it's not dangerous. I'm just helping to provide transportation and pick them up from South America."
Seeing that Lisa had already overheard his conversation with Sherry, Javier seemed a bit awkward. This girl was actually not easy to deal with. Although Lisa usually appeared well-behaved, she had actually been secretly controlling everything, which made her seem so well-behaved.
After all, with her abnormal five senses and perceptive ability, Lisa knew exactly what Javier was secretly doing in the villa. She even knew how many times the ball splashed into the sink when he was taking a dump in the bathroom. So, it would be strange if Lisa wasn't well-behaved. She had full map vision.
Therefore, facing Lisa, who already knew everything, Javier could only continue to lie stubbornly.
"Are you sure it's not dangerous...?"
However, Lisa did not react as intensely as expected. Instead, she slowly put down the reagent bottle in her hand and slowly raised her head. Her dark red, shining eyes, like an abyss, calmly stared at Javier, and she asked, word by word, in a faint voice.
Having been together for nearly four years, Lisa already understood what role she should play. Therefore, she would not overly pester Javier, but would appropriately allow him a certain degree of freedom. This was the demeanor of a dignified lady, without jealousy or envy. Hmm... Aunt Lisa was becoming more and more skilled at controlling this role.
"..."
"Mm!"
And Javier, looking at such a sensible Lisa, couldn't help but feel shocked. How much palace intrigue had this aunt secretly learned to be able to maintain such composure? One who didn't know would think she had already become a main wife! However, Javier had a persistent demand for the South America instance, so he still nodded his head stubbornly and said, "Mm."
"..."
"If it's not dangerous, then it's fine. I trust you."
And seeing that Javier continued to be stubborn, Lisa didn't get angry. Instead, she still calmly replied and tacitly approved Javier's idea of going to South America. This was the magnanimity of the main wife; one must be willing to let go to gain. Without a doubt... Lisa's scheming had reached great mastery.
"Ah—?"
"Really... are you sure?"
Seeing this, Javier showed a puzzled expression and tried to ask Lisa in disbelief.
However... after Lisa finished speaking, she did not continue to pay attention to Javier. She continued to work on her experiment with the reagent bottle. Currently, she was helping Javier with the G Virus experiment, testing the G Virus on animals and observing its reactions in the human body, to minimize the side effects of the G Virus on humans.
After all, she didn't want Javier to turn into a monster like William. She didn't like such a partner, and not everyone was as lucky as her to be able to integrate the G-Virus into their body and have such high adaptability to other viruses.
Therefore, experiments were needed to ensure safety.
However, the only regrettable thing was that the experimental subjects were all animals. Without human experiments, it was difficult to obtain accurate data, so Lisa's experimental progress was currently stagnant. Sometimes she really wished she could just shove Plaga parasite tentacles into Javier's mouth for experiments, but unfortunately, Javier did not accept such violent methods.
Meanwhile, Javier stayed in the Laboratory, looking at Lisa, who had not responded for a long time. Javier knew that this girl was trying hard to suppress her anger from erupting.
If he didn't leave now, it would really be too late. Thinking of this, Javier decisively ran away and immediately left the underground Laboratory. He happily started calling Catherine, the rich woman, to help prepare the plane and equipment.
Speaking of Catherine, this rich woman had also been doing very well in the past four years. Although her father, Mike Warren, died and her identity as the Raccoon City mayor's daughter was gone, her father Mike's strict teachings usually had not been in vain.
In addition, she studied finance and management, and she managed her father's industry in an orderly manner, quickly settling everything.
During this period, Umbrella Corporation had tried to assassinate Catherine and annex her industries several times, but unfortunately, Javier thwarted them.
Later, due to the escalation of the Raccoon City incident, Umbrella Corporation was in a hurry and could not spare any hands to assassinate Catherine, so the matter was left unresolved. Without potential threats, Catherine's company grew larger and larger.
She has now become one of the youngest female billionaires in New York.
After all, she was not the kind of female billionaire who relied on her dead husband's inheritance, but one who built her way up step by step with her dead father's inheritance, so she was more famous in New York.
When Catherine learned that Javier was secretly researching biochemical viruses, her business acumen overcame her previous psychological fear, and she fully supported Javier's research.
If Javier could research some kind of virus serum, it would not only save the people of the world but also allow her company to make a huge leap forward, even entering the top 100 in the world.
Therefore, the two are currently in a cooperative relationship—
And for Javier to help prepare a plane, it was just a phone call away. After all, with such strong logistical support, Javier was also fortunate for his choice back then.
Originally, the evil Javier had intended to use Catherine as a puppet and annex her property, but when Javier realized that he was not cut out for business, he decisively abandoned this idea, because in that case... he would probably go bankrupt even faster. It was more cost-effective to leave it in Catherine's hands, as she was a hen that laid golden eggs. Very valuable!
...
Meanwhile,
After Javier left the Laboratory, Lisa, who had been busy with her experiments, finally stopped her work. She took off her gloves and glasses and sighed deeply at the empty Laboratory. Being the main wife was not easy; just the loneliness was unbearable for a human.
"..."
"He was obviously lying to you, and you were foolish enough to believe him. My goodness... how did I lose to such a stupid woman like you?"
"A man should be held firmly in your hand. If you indulge that scoundrel Javier like this, he will only ignore you more and more. Who knows... South America might just be a cover-up. He might be going on a secret date with an old flame or something. After all, South America is a great honeymoon destination."
At this moment, a very off-key, mocking female voice suddenly sounded in the Laboratory. Lisa looked up and saw that it was Alexia, who was confined in a bulletproof glass tank, speaking.
Four years later, Alexia had completely recovered from her previous large moth form to her human form. At this moment, she was wearing a purple dress, sitting with her legs crossed like a queen, eloquently commenting on Lisa's recent behavior.
With Alexia's current power, destroying the glass tank in front of her would undoubtedly be a very simple matter.
But the reason she didn't do so was mainly because of the G Virus parasite in her body. Over four years, the G Virus parasite had perfectly integrated into Alexia's body, as if her lifeblood was controlled. Alexia could resist anyone, except for Lisa in front of her.
Because as long as Lisa wanted to, the G Virus parasite in her body could expand and evolve at any time, consuming her as nutrients, just like how the G3 Fallen Angel devoured William's consciousness. The most hateful thing was that Alexia couldn't resist at all.
Because she couldn't find the location of the G Virus parasite at all; it had completely assimilated into a part of her own flesh.
Unless Alexia was desperate enough to give her body a comminuted self-explosion, perhaps she could get rid of this troublesome G Virus parasite. Of course, the premise was that she could also withstand the power of a comminuted self-explosion, but the T-Veronica Virus did not have the tenacious vitality of the G Virus, so this was another unsolvable problem.
Because it was unsolvable, Alexia chose to give up, which was why she was bored enough to talk about Lisa's private affairs at this time. It was even more regrettable that Alexia was already in her thirties or forties, yet she had never been in any romantic relationship. Therefore, when it came to love, she was almost completely clueless.
Therefore, when dealing with such a boring topic, she still used her most familiar Queen mode—!
Chapter Six: Days in the Biochemical Laboratory—
Listening to Alexia's eloquent speech and her disdainful queenly face, Lisa remained silent for a long time. She stared at Alexia with eyes like an abyss for a while, and finally sighed deeply, revealing a pitiful expression as she said faintly:
"You are truly pitiful..."
Although Alexia was indeed a genius girl... no, a genius aunt, and even a polymath aunt, in reality, she didn't have much exposure to things outside of virus research.
Besides her brother, Alfred, she didn't have anyone to confide in. Of course, as a genius, she didn't need these things.
It's just that Lisa believed that Alexia's never having experienced love was also a form of pity.
After all, no matter how humans evolve, they are social animals. The DNA in their bodies cannot tolerate loneliness and solitude. No... it should be said that no high-intelligence creature in the world can tolerate loneliness and solitude; they all want someone to confide in.
At only ten years old, Alexia graduated from a prestigious university and passed various so-called advanced academic certifications. At sixteen, she began serving as a senior researcher at Umbrella Corporation, one of the top ten companies in the world, rising rapidly and living a life that ordinary people dreamed of.
Even later, she spent fourteen years in a cryogenic chamber to fuse with the T-Veronica Virus, and in the blink of an eye, she was already around thirty years old. Her life seemed brilliant, rich, and colorful, but in reality, it was incredibly short, like a dragonfly that only lives for 8 months, dying immediately after mating and reproducing.
That's why Lisa lamented Alexia's pitifulness.
She had never experienced what kinship, friendship, or even love was. She consistently used her superior-person theory, enslaving others as servants in the attitude of a queen. Although this way of survival was not inherently wrong, it did not prevent Lisa from feeling pity for Alexia—
"..."
"What do you mean by that?"
Faced with Lisa's sudden sarcasm and the look of pity on her face that she utterly detested, Alexia suddenly felt disgusted. She immediately stood up from her throne and questioned Lisa.
Bickering... was one of the few remaining pleasures between the two.
After all, as infected individuals, in a sense, Alexia and Lisa both had feelings of mutual recognition for each other, much like a phoenix in a chicken coop. Although they were at odds with each other, they both knew their differences and could feel that hidden, inexplicable sense of loneliness.
It was also because of this that, during her research, Aunt Alexia, the genius, would give Lisa many suggestions, which allowed Lisa to progress so quickly. In just four years, she transformed from a clueless girl who knew nothing about biology into a qualified female researcher. Alexia's contribution to this rapid progress was undeniable.
"Nothing..."
"I'm just lamenting that someone who is already around thirty years old, according to the normal human lifespan, has already entered middle age at this moment. And soon, menstruation will cease and reproductive ability will disappear. And such a person, who has never experienced family affection, friendship, or even love, don't you think it's very pathetic?"
"Of course, don't misunderstand, I'm not beating around the bush about you. After all, you have the T-Veronica Virus, and your lifespan is very long. According to the normal vitality of viruses, you haven't even reached adulthood yet."
"However, what's even more ridiculous is that perhaps because they haven't reached adulthood, someone's way of acting is as childish as a child, just like playing house when they were little, playing a princess with a snotty nose, pointing a finger at an adult's nostril and saying, 'I'm a little princess, you all have to listen to me!'"
"How about it, isn't this joke very funny? Of course, I'm really not being sarcastic about you, after all, who would give birth to a child? Right!"
Raising her head, Lisa looked at Alexia in the glass tank and retorted with her unique, sarcastic words. Without a doubt, in terms of sharp-tongued ability, Alexia was weaker than Lisa. After all, as a rich young lady, Alexia's cursing vocabulary was limited to a few phrases.
"..."
Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, Lisa saw Alexia grinding her teeth in the glass tank. The recent verbal attack had caused great damage to Alexia's self-esteem. She would absolutely not tolerate anyone daring to trample on her proud, superior-person queenly way of life!
"What about you?"
"If I'm an aunt in my thirties, then aren't you an old woman in your forties? So, Aunt Lisa, tell me, what can you do? At the age of a forty-something aunt, you still crave love, and with a man more than ten years younger than you. What... are you that desperate?"
"Didn't you say that women in their forties should be menopausal? Why aren't you? You're still so desperate to 'eat tender grass' (have a younger lover). How shameless! Just thinking about your behavior makes me feel embarrassed. And you mock me as a child, what are you? An old hag?"
Alexia's counterattack was very sharp. Since she wanted to start a war about age, Alexia was not to be outdone and began a furious verbal assault on Lisa. For a moment, Lisa's forehead bulged with veins, but she quickly suppressed them. It seemed... in terms of self-control, Lisa had the upper hand!
At the same time, facing such a sharp counterattack, Lisa also responded with a kind and amiable smile:
"Yes, you're right, I'm an aunt."
"However, if we classify by the vitality of the G Virus, I am only just an adult at this moment. Since I am just an adult, is there anything wrong with me pursuing love? I will use a very mature and normal method to pursue a partner, so what's wrong with that?"
