Meanwhile, in the underground research laboratory beneath Raccoon City, Dr. William Birkin was busy with his research. None other than the development of the G-virus — a virus he believed had far greater potential than the T-virus. "Do you know the reason Spencer sent another assistant to help me?" he asked while staring at Albert Wesker, who had just approached. "Rumor has it that the newcomer is a genius in the field of technology and even already has his own company. Does he think I'm stupid? It seems Spencer deliberately used that kid to distract me, making me focus more on him, while my other assistant secretly steals my serum data. Hahaha…" William laughed in a mocking tone. He didn't care at all about that assistant.
In his mind, there was no one more genius than himself. Even Alex Wesker — who was currently his rival — had been transferred to another branch.
William was sure the T-Phobos project, or whatever it was called, had totally failed.
"I don't think so," Wesker replied, shaking his head. "It seems Alex is quite close to that man, and might be using him to steal your research data." Wesker knew that his sister was indeed troublesome. If Alex got too involved, his plan to fake his own death and quietly leave Umbrella would become even harder to execute. Wesker also knew that his sister was sick, and it seemed Alex was looking for every possible way to cure her illness. Spencer was aware of this, so he didn't feel suspicious toward Alex. However, it seemed no one knew the truth — that Alex had already fully recovered from her illness and now only wanted to help Allen infiltrate and have fun.
"I think we can use this person well," said Albert while standing, looking at tubes of medicine while wearing sunglasses in the dark room. Somehow he could still see clearly in a room like this, thought William, who always found his friend's manner strange.
"Use this person well? I don't know what you mean, but I agree. My wife also seems very displeased when I told her to focus on the antivirus project for the G-Virus. I suspect she's also working with Spencer to secretly steal my research." Maybe he was also looking for a way to get rid of his wife.
"And you'd better find a way to get out of Umbrella soon. Umbrella has become increasingly unsafe lately — there have even been several virus leaks in the Arklay Mountains," Albert said while cleaning his sunglasses and then putting them back on.
"Even without you telling me, I already have my own plan to get out of here. I've contacted the military," William said while focusing on virus data on his computer.
"Why should I hand over my research results to an old man who's about to die? He wants the results of my personal research? Huh… dream on! Step over my corpse first!" he said while slamming the keyboard until it broke.
"It seems the virus leak that occurred in the Arklay Mountains was his own conspiracy," he said angrily. He knew Spencer actually didn't care whether his company was destroyed or not. His relationship with Spencer had now become very bad.
"I also plan to leave Umbrella soon and find another company," Albert said. He too no longer trusted Spencer, especially after the recent incident in the Arklay Mountains, which seemed deliberately left unresolved. He wanted to kill Spencer with his own hands, but he wasn't strong enough yet — especially with Sergei constantly watching him. It was very troublesome; the man was like a thorn constantly blocking his way.
....
Back to Allen.
At the moment, Rebecca and Allen were walking, observing a small lake not far from the villa's backyard, while Karena continued following them from a distance.
"This is such a beautiful and peaceful place."
"And far from the crowds too," Allen replied.
"Yeah, this place is quite secluded," Rebecca agreed.
However, not long after they strolled around and enjoyed their time, a foul stench seemed to be getting closer.
"Allen, do you smell that too?"
Allen nodded and turned toward the source of the smell. That's when they spotted a stray dog charging toward Rebecca.
"Rebecca, watch out!" Allen shouted as the dog ran full speed and tried to pounce on her.
He quickly grabbed Rebecca's hand, pulling her closer to him, and activated his Nanotec bracelet, which instantly transformed into a Light Saber. In one swift motion, he sliced off the dog's head mid-leap.
From a distance, Karena—who had been ready to pull the trigger of her pistol if anything went wrong—saw they were safe, immediately holstered her weapon, and began scanning the area to secure the surroundings.
"What is that… what kind of creature is it?" Rebecca asked, staring at the dog's head, which was still twitching as if it wasn't dead yet, even though its body was limp.
"Please, be careful and don't touch it," Allen warned before stabbing its brain, ensuring the creature was truly dead.
"It seems that damaging its brain completely kills it."
Allen deliberately shared this information so that Rebecca could handle a similar situation in the future—also to avoid her becoming suspicious about how he knew.
"Rebecca, why aren't you wearing your bracelet?" Allen asked in a serious tone.
"Ah… about that, I left it on my apartment table because I was afraid of damaging it, so I rarely bring it with me," she admitted, feeling a bit regretful for not wearing it earlier.
"Next time, I want you to bring it with you. I want you to always be safe, understand?"
Rebecca nodded, clearly amazed by the technology in his hand.
"Hey, Allen… what's the name of that weapon? It looks so advanced."
Allen gave a confident smile and activated the weapon again for a second. A beam of energy extended with a sharp hum.
"I call it the light saber. Pretty fitting, right? You can even customize the color." He deactivated it smoothly. "The only downside is the battery. It can't last more than two minutes—it drains way too much power."
He stood there casually, holding the hilt at his side, looking almost like a certain future Sith Lord before his dramatic fall.
"Yeah, that's actually a really fitting name," Rebecca said with a small smile.
Then she returned to her earlier concern.
"By the way… what kind of creature was that? I've never seen anything like it before. Do you know something about it, Allen?"
Allen's expression became more serious.
"I don't know what kind of animal this is either. It looks like a dog, but it has a foul stench, and look—its body seems like it's already rotting, as if it's been dead for a long time. Some of its internal organs also seem to be missing," Allen lied, of course, about not knowing what it was.
'Zombie dogs are already showing up… that probably means there are already a few human zombies too, especially around the mining site and the old abandoned hospital nearby.'
"This place doesn't seem safe anymore. Let's get out of here," Allen said, guiding Rebecca away from the area.
As they started walking, he casually placed his hand around her slim waist again, using the situation as a natural excuse to keep her close.
At first, Rebecca didn't notice.
She nodded and stayed close to him while they moved through the dim path back toward the villa.
But after a short while, she became aware of it—
Allen's hand was still resting on her hip.
She should've stepped away.
She should've said something.
And yet… she didn't.
For some reason, she felt safe like this. Protected.
So she quietly allowed him to keep his arm around her waist.
I'm sorry, Jill… Rebecca whispered in her heart.
With a slightly embarrassed tone, she said, "By the way… thank you for earlier. If it weren't for you, I would've definitely been in danger."
Allen gave her a calm smile. "Of course. It's no problem. Naturally, I have to protect my date, don't I?"
"A-Ahh… yeah… you're right," Rebecca replied softly.
Without realizing it, her feelings for him were slowly beginning to grow.
"Alright," Allen continued. "Once we get back to the villa, I'll take you to your apartment. And remember—keep that bracelet on at all times."
"Yeah… I will," she said quietly.
It was becoming clear that this mission was far more dangerous than she had expected.
And deep down, Rebecca was starting to suspect that the missing people cases…
Might be connected to creatures like that dog.
...
After that, Allen, Rebecca, and Karena escorted Rebecca back to her apartment.
Once that was done, Allen stopped by a well-known café in the city to have some coffee and booked a VIP room so he could have a private conversation with Karena.
"I think we need to talk seriously. This is about the dog you saw with your own eyes near the villa. You must have found it strange, and yes… that dog was the result of a biological accident currently being worked on by Umbrella."
Allen looked straight into her eyes.
"And I'm certain that soon, there's going to be chaos in this city. Like it or not, you'll be facing creatures like that more often. I know this because I received information from Alex Wesker—several elite soldiers are already dealing with similar cases, trying to clean up the mess those monsters have caused."
Karena nodded, fully understanding the seriousness of the problem that was about to unfold. She had also read several documents containing rather absurd data from Stuart before she even signed on as Allen's personal bodyguard.
"I don't have a problem with it. As long as you pay me, I'll keep protecting you," she said calmly, carrying the composure of a mature woman.
Allen couldn't take his eyes off her MILF-like figure.
'Damn, why is my throat suddenly dry? Focus… focus on the topic,' he thought, though it seemed his mind was leaning more toward the idea of sleeping with his bodyguard than dealing with zombies.
"Well, as long as you stay loyal to me, I'll treat you well," he added, his words carrying a slightly ambiguous tone to divert attention. "When it comes to money, you can trust me—I never run out of it. And even if I did, I could just sell some of my research results to the military. Let's just say they're loyal customers of mine. Also, I'll give you a few… benefits you definitely won't refuse."
What Allen meant was his super soldier serum, though of course, he wasn't about to tell Karena that just yet.
Karena listened, slightly intrigued about what kind of benefits he was referring to. It seemed they naturally got along well… and seeing Allen's young, handsome face sparked something in her—perhaps interest. She might have even slightly misunderstood his words.
"So, what's your plan?" Karena's expression turned a little more serious now.
"I want you to lead the Black Rose team. Consider it your personal unit. And you need to be careful with that Russian guy, Bodrovski—he's probably a spy sent by Spancer to monitor my movements. You know I'm going to be working as a temporary assistant in one of their research projects."
"My reason is simple—I'm not good at managing that kind of thing, and I don't want to trouble Athena, even though she's quite experienced in the military." The real reason, of course, was that Allen wanted more time with his women rather than having them deal with unnecessary matters.
Then Allen added, "And also… don't even think about betraying me."
"I don't like traitors either," Karena replied seriously—ready to kill anyone who betrayed her. And of course she won't betray Allen either.
Seeing Karena's serious expression, Allen felt that this MILF was making him want to tease her.
"Hey… Karena, do you have any plans to get married again? I mean, you know you still look beautiful, don't you ever feel lonely?" he said, winking at her.
Of course, Karena understood what Allen meant and just laughed at him.
"Hahaha, kid, you'd better take care of your kidneys. You already have so many wives—do you think you can handle me?"
"Don't underestimate me. We can try it right now if you don't believe me."
"Ohhh… are you challenging me?" Karena said with an intrigued tone. Honestly, she had already forgotten the last time she did something like that.
"That depends. I'm not going to force you, but if you're interested, come with me."
After that, Allen walked out toward his car, and not long after, Karen came out and got in. Allen glanced at her and simply smiled before stepping on the gas and heading toward a hotel.
Once there, Allen walked up to the receptionist and booked a VIP room.
"Your room is on the 15th floor, number 11."
"Okay… thank you," Allen replied.
He then took Karen's hand and led her to the elevator to head upstairs.
"Enjoy your night," the receptionist said politely with a bow.
…....
Inside the hotel room, Karena was currently in the bathroom, saying she wanted to freshen up first. A moment later, she came out wearing only a towel, her wet hair hanging loose over her shoulders.
Allen then stood up and walked over to her,
"You know, you look beautiful and I feel like your ex-husband is an idiot".
Allen then took off his clothes and got naked in front of Karen "are you sure you don't want to back out now".
Karena who was looking at Allen's body that was like a male god with muscles like Captain America. She gulped when she saw her boss' crotch.
"That's really big." She was surprised at the size of the penis, her face looked flushed and began to feel her pussy—a little wet underneath.
During her time in the military she really—rarely thought about sex, let alone actively releasing her sexual needs.
Coupled with the death of her ex-husband, she had not had sex for several years.
And to vent her sexual frustration, she would most likely use sex toys like dildos or simply rely on her hands and even that was very rare. It seemed like she had been holding back those desires for too long, focusing only on her job as a mercenary.
Now seeing Allen naked in front of her made her heart beat faster, and she began to lust, as if all her dark desires were triggering and she began to— fantasize about what they would do next.
"Yours is even bigger than my ex-husband's" Karena whispered softly as her hand touched the penis.
"Ohhh... are you now starting to compare me to your ex-husband. How naughty..."
"Well... even though you have a very big cock, can you guarantee that you can make me satisfied, you know I am a very strong woman". Now her desire was burning her, but she could still hold it back even though her cheeks were slightly flushed and drunk from smelling her boss' body odor.
"Don't blame me woman, if later you won't be able to live without my dick and don't think this will end up as a one night stand".
"You're really sure with your words, as if— you've just won my heart. You better not prove it with just words." Although Allen's words made her heart a little stirred up, but she could still control herself. Well she was quite curious if Allen would keep his word, after all she was practically not a young woman and she also had a daughter, was Allen really serious with his words.
