"I'm dying."

"Huh?"

"It's Down syndrome."

"Early? Medium term? ”

"Late. I didn't want to die like that, so I came to the competition and used my gun to prove myself, to prove that I was in this world, to prove that I lived...... Prove that I've been strong. ”

"Of course, you will be the woman who stands at the pinnacle of this mecha, and you will make everyone remember you!"

"I lied to you, just make up a story and you will believe it?"

“……”

"Hey, hey, don't do that, it's just a joke. You don't need any extra reason to participate in the Mech Tournament, it's enough to like the feeling of fighting, right? ”

The scenes that had happened appeared in front of him, and what appeared in Renault's eyes was what the mecha girl had said to him.

In fact, very early on, Renaud suspected that Antonia's words were not lying, but looking at her relaxed attitude, he really couldn't find a reason for the other party's death, so he could only bury his doubts in his heart.

It wasn't until he saw Antonia again in Tianhe IV that Renault deepened his suspicions again by watching her use that superhuman ability.

But he never imagined that this disease would be artificially inflicted.

He watched in amazement as Antonia, who was far away and Nava was moving further away from Renault.

Antonia didn't care: "The Santiago family has the best genetic research institute in the universe, which is the seed they planted to eliminate genetic harm, but as a result, a towering tree has developed. The exploitation of Down syndrome is one of the fruits of this big tree, they have long mastered the treatment of this disease, but they have never made it public, only making the incurable medicine, so that they can keep selling drugs and make huge profits. ”

"Why don't you resist?" Claire asked.

"As I said, they can cure it." Antonia replied: "They threaten me in this way, hoping that I will bow my head under the virus. Of course, in order to keep it as secret as possible, they kept me as isolated as possible. ”

It dawned on Renault: "The six years you disappeared......"

"I'm not missing." "I've always been at the academy, but I've been severely restricted from contact with others and no media coverage is allowed," Antonia said. ”

"But you're in the mecha competition."

"It's not Condon's, and even if it does, it doesn't get reported. No one knows who I am, and no one can get it to the media. ”

"Why didn't you say that at that time?" Claire asked.

"Trust me, it won't work. The Storm Group is an ant in the eyes of the Santiago family, and they will never dare to provoke Santiago. If I say something I shouldn't say in a contest, all messages will be blocked in the next second. No one will know, and even if they do, they dare not say it. Even I myself will be labeled as the heir to the Santiago family, and a new Antonia will appear in the Santiago family. Trust me, they can do it, and they will...... Family above all else, that's the Santiago motto. ”

Renault and Claire gasped.

They looked at each other, and after all, it was Renault who asked, "Let me guess what happened next." Shortly after that, you somehow got a holy artifact. You used the energy of the relics on yourself, which was honestly a very risky decision, but you did it anyway. ”

Claire Interface: "And you succeeded, with a five percent success rate, you broke through." So instead of dying under Down syndrome, you gain superpowers, a kind of ...... A superpower that can track bullets. ”

"Dynamic visual capture and high-frequency motion in short ranges." Antonia replied: "Simply put, the eyes are able to see the trajectory of an object moving at high speed and react quickly in a relatively short distance. ”

That's why Antonia was able to shoot bullets. To be honest, it's not a very strong ability, it's too restrictive, but as long as she has a gun in her hand, Antonia can become extremely terrifying.

"Sure enough." Claire muttered.

"But the relics were not obtained by me through any special means, but by the Santiago family." Antonia added.

"Why would they want to give you this?" Renault asked.

"Two years ago, an old man of the Santiago family was about to die, and the family members obtained a holy relic of exhausted energy through the research institute of Tianhe IV, but before the relic arrived, the old man died. At that time, I proposed that if I survived, they would no longer force me to marry within my family, but the family agreed to it, but asked me not to marry outsiders, and at the same time I had to do things for the family. It's a deal, and it's a big deal for the family, whether it's a win or a failure. ”

As Antonia narrates, Renault and Claire get to know each other.

After the relic, Antonia successfully survived the risk of death, not only relieved of Down syndrome, but also gave herself superpowers. From then on, Antonia followed her agreement with her family and began to fight for the Santiago family, killing those who threatened the family.

In just two years, she became the most powerful killer in the family, and the former Antonia disappeared and was replaced by the famous "Red Witch" of the San Diego family.

At one point, Antonia thought she was free.

But that all changed after one thing.

"What's the matter?" Renault asked.

"Adam." Antonia replied.

"Adam? The kid? Claire exclaimed.

On the contrary, Renault's heart trembled: "They want your blood again?" ”

Antonia nodded.

Adam's presence made the San Diego family aware of the possibility of superpower inheritance.

The Santiago family, which had been bent on purifying their blood, began to covet Antonia's bloodline again.

Although the Santiago family hindered Adam's research, they were forced to decide to hand it over to the Tianhe Fourth Research Institute, on the one hand, in exchange for holy relics, and on the other hand, they also had the intention of using the power of the research institute to break through the research. However, their thoughts on Antonia have not weakened because of this, and some people believe that no matter whether there is a breakthrough in research or not, as a descendant of the divine bloodline, and having obtained superpowers, Antonia is obliged to contribute her own bloodline.

The strongest supporter of these is McHarbi.

He hoped that Antonia would have a child with Benjamin, and perhaps work miracles - sometimes we can not know the reason for its existence, as long as we can get the result, this is what McHarbi said. He stubbornly believed in the meaning of the bloodline inheritance, believing that it could break through everything.

Antonia was keenly aware of this, so she took the opportunity to leave Condon.

"The Servant is not in the agreed deal between San Diego and the New Federation, but we all know that the Servant is truly valuable, and owning it is equivalent to owning countless holy relics." Antonia said.

"So you want to trade your complete freedom for a servant?" Renault asked.

Antonia nodded, "Yes." I knew they wouldn't allow me to do that, so I made some arrangements. ”

"Ann Kailong?"

Antonia shrugged: "He's a nice guy, I met him after the tournament and like you, we became good friends. Later I hired him, in my private name and money...... Nobody knows. ”

Claire also understood: "He is your hole card, and it is impossible for you to hide any transfer of your power from Santiago, so you can only cultivate some people secretly." ”

"It's a pity that I still couldn't stop it, but thanks to your ......"

"Good thing ......," Claire smiled at Antonia.

"Yes." Antonia replied in the affirmative, "It's better for you to win than for them to win." I knew I couldn't beat them, I knew it from the beginning. ”

"Then why did you come back?"

"I just don't want to give up trying, just like you." Antonia replied, "My strength is still too weak. You know, Renault, there was a time when I was desperately looking for you, but I couldn't find you. You disappeared, as if the world had evaporated, until Tianhe IV, you suddenly appeared, but you stood on the opposite side of me......"

"I'm sorry." Renault replied wryly.

"You don't need to apologize to me for anything." Antonia said, "Now that you know what happened to me in the past years, now, out of fairness, shouldn't you also tell me about you after the tournament?" ”
