Miss Ada is an exceptionally skilled agent, and her intelligence network is unimaginable. Even Javier, who possesses the power of foresight, couldn't investigate some details as clearly as Miss Ada. Therefore, Javier wanted to hire Miss Ada, this female agent. After all, talented individuals are always rare and must be secured quickly.
Moreover, Javier knew that after this mission, Miss Ada would part ways with Wesker. Even without Javier's instigation, Miss Ada would still sever her cooperative relationship with Wesker, because at that time, Wesker had fallen into obsession and madness, and all his actions began to focus on destroying the world.
Miss Ada, however, only wanted to make money and had no desire to help Wesker destroy the world. After all, what kind of joke was that? If the world were destroyed, how could she spend her tens of millions of dollars in savings? If there was no place to spend money, then this world would be too boring.
Therefore, the two parted ways. In the subsequent Biohazard 5, Wesker was terminated and died, and Miss Ada was not seen, which essentially confirms that the two had no real relationship.
However, Miss Ada's personality is like Natasha, the Black Widow in Marvel; she is pragmatic and generally favors whichever man benefits her, even subtly flirting with them.
The only difference, though, is that Natasha finds it difficult to maintain her composure and easily develops feelings for many men. After all, she flirts with superheroes, premium human males, so it's normal for her to lose control.
But Miss Ada is the opposite.
Miss Ada has her own unique concept of love. As a woman, her emotional and idealistic values are extremely high, but a huge contradiction has also arisen.
That is, while Miss Ada rejects men's advances, she also deeply desires a sincere love. However, because she clearly knows the fragility of love, Miss Ada herself prioritizes money and interests, trying to arm herself in this way.
Over time, Miss Ada's own thoughts become very contradictory, hesitating between emotion and absolute rationality. Therefore, winning over this woman is a very difficult task.
"…"
"That depends on your chips. I've said it countless times: what moves me is never so-called sentiment, but the price."
In her leisure, Miss Ada listened to Javier repeatedly wanting to keep her, and she couldn't help but frown slightly. She was truly starting to suspect that Javier had an interest in her, so she replied with a colder tone.
Miss Ada's contradictions are very complex.
Although she likes money, she absolutely does not allow others to openly keep her. She prefers an exchange of equal value; others provide remuneration, and she provides corresponding intelligence.
It seems a bit like wanting to be a harlot and still erect a memorial arch, but in reality, Miss Ada only wants her own dignity, the dignity of a woman.
"Price?"
"But conversely, sentiment also seems to be a kind of price. Don't worry, though, the remuneration I offer is quite substantial. After this mission, I need you to conduct counter-reconnaissance for me and investigate Wesker's every move. I know he's plotting something big."
"So I need your help, Miss Ada, because you really don't want the world to be destroyed, do you? That would be too boring. A diverse and rich world is more interesting. The three, six, and nine social classes are also natural laws. If it's just chaotic doomsday or a utopian world where everyone is equal, it would be too dull…"
Hearing Miss Ada's indifferent words, Javier raised an eyebrow and replied. From her tone, Miss Ada seemed angry, but women are… always complex. Javier didn't dwell on this, instead, he told Miss Ada his mission requirements.
Javier wanted to hire Miss Ada to help him investigate Wesker. Although Javier knew Wesker was researching the Progenitor Virus in Africa and attempting to create a new Uroboros virus, he unfortunately didn't know the exact location.
Despite knowing, Javier was unaware of the specific location, which is why he needed Miss Ada's intelligence gathering abilities. Furthermore, counter-investigating one's superior's secrets is a very challenging task!
And sure enough, after hearing Javier's words, Miss Ada's expression softened slightly.
As long as Javier didn't so blatantly try to keep her, employment was Miss Ada's preferred type of relationship, because that way she didn't have to be responsible.
Additionally, the task of investigating her superior's secrets was indeed very interesting and challenging. Of course… most importantly, Javier's recent words about values greatly satisfied Miss Ada.
As expected, Miss Ada knew that Javier and she were very compatible, the same kind of people. They wouldn't spout grand theories or act like hot-headed fools trying to help everyone in the world, becoming thorough superheroes.
At least Miss Ada had no such thoughts. She was a selfish person, and such noble ideals were far removed from her. Furthermore, she found so-called inequality to be very reasonable; it was a natural law.
If one doesn't become stronger, they can't blame others. The world is beautiful precisely because it is not a utopia where everyone is equal. The three, six, and nine social classes, and enslaving others to serve oneself, are also ways to enjoy a beautiful world.
Therefore, Javier's recent theory made Miss Ada feel very comfortable and satisfied, somewhat like finding a kindred spirit where high mountains meet flowing water, finally having someone she could truly talk to.
Conversely, Leon on the other side made Miss Ada feel a slight incongruity. Undoubtedly… Leon's ambitions were grand and aspiring. He hoped that Bio-weapons worldwide would be eliminated, reducing the possibility of people being harmed by Bio-weapons.
This ideal was undoubtedly grand and difficult to achieve, and Miss Ada initially thought it was a joke. However, Leon continued to work tirelessly towards it.
This gradually made Miss Ada abandon the idea of mockery. A person who strives to achieve their ideals should not be mocked; the process of their persistence is inherently precious.
At the same time, Miss Ada was gradually attracted by Leon's valuable and pure quality, which was different from that of others. After all, not everyone is as persistently dedicated to something as Leon, even if that thing can never be accomplished, his spirit is very appealing.
But unfortunately, attraction is attraction, Miss Ada knew clearly that she would never become a person like Leon, because she couldn't convince herself to act foolishly and do something that could never be accomplished.
So… this so-called attraction turned into admiration. Miss Ada could admire Leon's valuable qualities, but she couldn't be drawn into becoming like him.
This might be the contradictory reason why Miss Ada and Leon in the original work could never achieve a positive outcome; both clearly desired each other, but understood that they could never become like the other, and thus they mutually gave up.
And now, Miss Ada saw a new option emerge: a guy whose views and ideology aligned perfectly with hers, whose personality and interests were also very good, and whose rare conversational chemistry meant no aversion. Most importantly, this guy's existence felt very real, not distant at all, almost within reach.
Therefore, "Although your recent words carry a high risk of setting a flag…"
"But if that's the case, then I'll give you one last chance, Javier Boss. This is the last black gold rose business card. Don't lose it or sell it again, or you'll truly have no more chances. Remember to call me after the mission."
With a slight curl of her lips, Miss Ada elegantly took out a gilded black business card from between her breasts and handed it to Javier, casually making a phone gesture.
Engraved on it were golden rose blossoms, as well as Miss Ada's detailed contact information, including her email, phone number, and address. These were all real details, not fake, and not a false number used for missions.
This not only secured a cooperation opportunity but also conveyed another message from Miss Ada: that she was allowing him to pursue her.
Chapter 83: Underground Bug Nest
Facing the hint, Javier smiled slightly and deftly took the black gold rose business card Miss Ada handed him.
The first time they met, Javier had suspected it was a business card Miss Ada gave him to prank him, as Miss Ada didn't have a good impression of Javier back then.
And now, Javier could be confident in the authenticity of this business card; it should be 100% real contact information, giving him the feeling of a male fan receiving a female celebrity's private WeChat, feeling overwhelmed with flattery.
After all, to avoid being harassed by sycophants, Miss Ada rarely publicly shared her private contact information, similar to previous figures like John, the director of the protection company, Simmons, the senior security consultant for the United States, and her current superior, Wesker.
Even her own name, Miss Ada had always disguised. To truly get to know the real identity of this mysterious woman was a very difficult task, but fortunately, Javier still touched that layer of reality.
"…"
"Your body scent is still very charming, Miss Ada. I am very honored to accept this business card. I hope we can become even better partners."
A faint fragrance wafted to his nostrils.
Javier deftly tucked the business card into his chest pocket, serving as a makeshift good luck charm, while still teasingly praising the body scent on the black gold business card to Miss Ada.
Although the words were very flirty, sometimes women like this kind of attention.
The key here depends on the other person's perception.
If the other person is interested in you, then any compliment, whether flirty or subtle, will be accepted; it's just that the degree of reaction will differ.
But if the other person is not interested in you, then you need to be careful; this is indeed a very damaging way to compliment, and the other person will think you are being a pervert.
"Body scent?"
"That's just sweat, though."
Hearing Javier's words, Miss Ada frowned slightly and said very displeased, immediately turning her face away, not intending to continue to pay attention to Javier, and putting her gaze on the scenery around the mine tunnel.
Is she angry?
Actually, no. After all, women are complex creatures. You might think she's angry, and she might be, or she might not be. It's very Schrödinger. At least from Javier's experience, Miss Ada wasn't angry, just a bit tsundere.
"No…"
"The scent of sweat secreted by the human body is indeed body scent; it just depends on whether the person sniffing it likes it or not."
Shaking his head, Javier spoke calmly, seemingly wanting to press the issue, but unfortunately, at this moment, someone was no longer willing to continue ignoring them, because openly flirting was a very annoying thing!
"Crackle…!!!"
"He's there (Ahí está)!"
"I'm going to kill you (Te voy a matar)!"
Just then, another strange noise suddenly came from within the mine tunnel. A new mining cart suddenly sped forward.
It was accompanied by familiar Spanish trilled sounds, hoarse and muffled. Turning his head, Javier immediately spotted the mining infected people driving their carts one after another from behind.
With their underdeveloped cerebellums, they were actually able to drive mining carts to chase them.
They were still in pairs: the front was a miner holding a crossbow, and the back was a burly man holding a bloody chainsaw high, constantly shouting incomprehensible Spanish words, attempting to approach Javier and the others to attack.
"…"
"Damn it, they're catching up! Look behind!"
At this moment, Luis, who was in the middle, also noticed the mining infected people who were suddenly trying to get closer and quickly warned everyone.
The three mining carts were relentlessly tailing them, and seeing the roaring chainsaw and sharp crossbow arrows getting closer and closer, Javier quickly reached out and pressed Miss Ada's head down, telling her to duck.
The next second, "Boom…"
"Whoosh——!!!"
A sound of something cutting through the air rang out.
A flaming arrow quickly shot out, directly hitting the mining cart where Javier and Miss Ada were.
But because Javier had Miss Ada duck in time, they luckily escaped. When the arrow hit the mining cart, it sparked and bounced off, missing Miss Ada's back by just a tiny bit.
"Buzz buzz buzz—!!!"
However, because Javier and Miss Ada temporarily ducked for cover, the relentlessly pursuing mining cart got closer and closer. The burly man holding the chainsaw had already accelerated, and the ear-piercing roar sounded.
With intense killing intent in his eyes, he continuously muttered curses. The chainsaw, having claimed countless lives, was about to fall, savagely slashing and sawing the mining cart where Javier and Miss Ada were.
But no sooner said than done, Javier looked up, seeing the chainsaw killer already in front of him.
As their mining carts collided and the sharp chainsaw was about to descend, he suddenly stood up, gripped both sides of the mining cart, and suddenly raised his legs, powerfully kicking the chainsaw killer in the chest!
