"Brozkarst, huh...?"
Kal'tsit looked at Frostnova.
As the last pure-blood Wendigo of the Sarkaz Court, and a powerful War God in the hearts of the Ursus people, she knew him well.
Ever since she learned of Reunion Movement's actions in Chernobog, she had sent people to investigate Reunion Movement's high-level intelligence and knew that "Patriot" was among them, but she hadn't expected this young girl named Frostnova to be his adopted daughter.
"You know Old Fogey?" Frostnova asked in surprise upon hearing Kal'tsit utter 'Patriot's' real name.
Kal'tsit nodded.
"I once stayed in Ursus for a while and had the fortune to meet 'Patriot' himself.
However, I remember him as someone who never goes back on a decision once made.
Are you sure you can persuade him to abandon Reunion Movement and cooperate with Rhodes Island?"
After hearing Kal'tsit's words, Frostnova was also certain that Kal'tsit had indeed met Patriot, otherwise, it would be difficult to describe Patriot's character so clearly.
"If it can be confirmed that Talulah's goal is to drag Reunion Movement into the abyss, then I will personally go and persuade Old Fogey.
Although he doesn't like changing decisions, if it's wrong, I believe he won't stubbornly stick to a path that leads nowhere."
Frostnova shook her head, then jumped onto Doctor's shoulder, facing Kal'tsit directly as she continued.
"Thud!" Just as the group was planning Rhodes Island's future actions, a sound suddenly came.
They turned to see Misha kneeling on the ground.
"Please, save my brother... Please..."
Hearing her words, everyone looked inside, only to see Skullshatterer still confined in the straitjacket, struggling on the bed.
"Even if we could save him, this guy is completely obsessed with seeking revenge on Rhodes Island.
Even if Rhodes Island is an organization that helps the Infected, no one would want to save a rabid wolf that could bite back at any moment, right?"
Kanna shrugged, looking at Skullshatterer inside, then said to Kal'tsit.
"Is this the captured Reunion Movement cadre 'Skullshatterer' you mentioned?" Kal'tsit knew about Skullshatterer through communications, but she wasn't clear who the girl in front of her was or why she called Skullshatterer her brother.
"This is Misha, whom Lungmen asked us to find in the slums.
After she was handed over to Lungmen's Lungmen Guard Department / Guard Department, Frostnova intercepted her halfway, but we found her again and took her back.
And the one inside, named Skullshatterer, whose real name is Alex, is Misha's brother.
However, after they were separated, one entered Lungmen while the other joined Reunion Movement..." Amiya quietly explained the situation to Kal'tsit.
Kal'tsit frowned slightly upon hearing this, as the names of the siblings sounded somewhat familiar to her.
"I previously spoke with Misha, and Reunion Movement wanted to capture her because of her father. Her father's name is Sergei, and he was a staff member in Chernobog's core control room..."
The Doctor beside Amiya continued.
Upon hearing Sergei's name, Kal'tsit's pupils constricted. She hadn't expected this person in front of her to also be a descendant of an old friend.
"How is Alex's condition inside?" Knowing his identity, Kal'tsit's demeanor softened considerably. She turned and asked a medical Operator nearby.
The medical Operator immediately took out Alex's medical report and handed it over.
"Given current medical conditions, it's essentially incurable. This child internally triggered arts to transform himself into a living Originium bomb. Although the process was interrupted midway, the transformation is irreversible. In three days at most, he will completely become a terrifying humanoid bomb."
Kal'tsit took the report, reviewed it, and then closed her eyes, while Misha, not far away, continuously kowtowed, her forehead already swollen.
"I just heard that you saved Frostnova. If you can save such a critically Infected person like Frostnova, you must have a way to save my brother. Please, I've just been reunited with my brother, and I really don't want to lose him again..."
Misha said, her voice choked with sobs, as she continued to kowtow.
However, Kanna felt no sympathy, as in her eyes, Skullshatterer was like a treacherous wolf, impossible to tame and always ready to bite back. Such a person simply didn't deserve to be saved.
After a long hesitation, Kal'tsit finally spoke, "Rhodes Island has a way to save him, but from now until his death, he must remain confined and controlled. Furthermore, if he is ever found to harm anyone at Rhodes Island, I will personally deal with him. If you agree, then I'll give you a chance..."
"No way, old woman. You're saving even this? Rhodes Island doesn't have many of these left..." Hearing Kal'tsit's words, Kanna became agitated, speaking to Kal'tsit without much politeness.
After all, from Skullshatterer's eyes, it was clear that he would never join Rhodes Island. If he lived and then escaped, exposing Rhodes Island's affairs, then Rhodes Island would truly become an enemy of the world.
Kal'tsit took out a Poké Ball and threw it to Misha. "Alex is still conscious right now, so he won't willingly go in. Wait until he faints again, then put him in and give the ball to me."
Kanna recognized the ball, remembering it as one of several Kal'tsit had personally crafted with pure originium, under the guise of research. She had thought these Poké Balls would be properly used by Kal'tsit on Operators who risked their lives for Rhodes Island, so she hadn't hesitated at the time. But she hadn't expected Kal'tsit to use it here.
She pointed a trembling finger at Kal'tsit, saying, "An old woman is not to be consulted..." With that, Kanna turned and walked out the door.
Seeing Kanna leave, Amiya bowed to Kal'tsit and then rushed after her. Only the Doctor remained, because Frostnova was also curious about how the Doctor had used a ball to save her when she was severely injured and unconscious. She wasn't familiar with Kal'tsit, so she needed the Doctor to act as a go-between.
"Kanna!?" Amiya, who had chased her out, found that Kanna's face showed no anger. Although still somewhat helpless, she wasn't as furious as she had been inside.
"Are you wondering why it's different from inside?" Kanna walked into a room nearby, chugged a bottle of drink, and then asked Amiya, who looked puzzled and unsure how to speak.
Amiya's eyes widened, and she nodded. She was indeed surprised by the stark difference in Kanna's reaction simply from stepping outside.
"Although I don't particularly like that guy Skullshatterer, I won't stop Kal'tsit from saving him. As for being angry, I am a bit, but not that intensely..."
Kanna took another bottle of vegetable juice from the room and tossed it to Amiya, then pointed inside and spoke.
