It took Tessa a long time to find out that her father and Ivan Vanko had returned to the farm without any notice. She was like an angry lioness, scolding Cade on the phone, and could only drive back to Austin to pick him up.
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Tessa stared at her father Cade with a scrutinizing look. She was not a slow-witted woman, but a very sharp mind. Cade had been acting very abnormal recently.
Cade wiped his sweat.
"Forget it. Central City High School will resume classes soon. I won't be able to take care of you then."
Tessa held her forehead and decided not to force Cade to do anything. No matter what method Cade used, the powered exoskeleton was invented in his name after all.
Judging from the fact that Cade answered questions fluently in the studio, he has a very harmonious relationship with the real inventor behind the scenes, and he should not suddenly stand up and make corrections, causing a scandal.
With such a great engineer behind CapitaLand, and the highly skilled Ivan Vanko, she believed that CapitaLand would not come up with anything weird again.
But before going to New York to study, she wanted to go back to the farm first. New York was too far away, and it was still inconvenient to go back and forth even by plane.
The experience of Broly sending her to New York on his somersault cloud had become an unforgettable memory.
The iron sheet stopped in front of the villa's door.
Tessa took out a mirror and adjusted her makeup before touching it up again before getting out of the car.
Pushing the door open, she found a strange woman sitting on a chair, eating from a large bucket of ice cream.
She has short golden hair and delicate features, but there is a kind of aggressiveness between her eyebrows that ordinary women don't have, making her look quite wild.
More importantly, she was wearing clothes from Tessa's wardrobe.
"Who are you? Why are you wearing my clothes?"
Tessa looked alert, shocked and angry!
"So these clothes are yours? You have good taste."
No. 18 said as she scooped another scoop of ice cream. After being locked up in Dr. Gro's laboratory, she hadn't eaten normal food for a long time.
"My name is No. 18."
She was very frugal with her words and concentrated on the ice cream in her arms.
Kakarot poked her head out from upstairs, and when she saw Tessa, she immediately ran downstairs as if she had seen a savior.
"Tessa! This woman ate all my snacks! Broly didn't care! And she even asked me to give in to her!"
She threw herself on Tessa's waist like a cannonball and wiped all her tears and snot on it.
Tessa rubbed Kakarot's hair with a headache.
"Kakarot, where did she come from?"
"Broly brought her back. I don't know where she came from. She's so strange. She doesn't have any energy."
Baya used the air dance technique to float in the air and nodded desperately.
Kakarot was very curious about No. 18. It was the first time she met someone who couldn't sense Chi. Even Broly could sense very weak Chi when he tried his best to hide his Chi. But No. 18 didn't exist at all in the world of Chi sensing.
No. 18 glanced coldly at the two people who were whispering, put the empty ice cream bucket aside, and stretched.
Kakarot quickly pounced and hugged the refrigerator, holding on to the door tightly with her two chubby little hands.
"You are not allowed to eat anymore!"
"childish."
No. 18 said disdainfully:
"Where's Broly?"
Because of Dr. Gro, she almost lost all her memories. The only memories left were the cold laboratory and her brother No. 17 lying on the experimental bed next door.
Because the Eternal Energy Furnace had not yet been installed, her mind had not yet been implanted with combat skills and instructions to hunt down Sun Wukong. Now she only knew Dr. Gero and No. 17.
Broly was the third person she came into contact with besides Dr. Gero and No. 17. Being in a completely unfamiliar environment, she was actually very uneasy in her heart. Only when she was with Broly could she feel a little safe.
Tessa felt very bad, so she took Kakarot off the refrigerator.
"Is she a Saiyan?"
"No, Saiyans all have black hair, and their hairstyle will never change throughout their lives, except when they go bald."
Kakarot breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that No. 18 was not going to touch her small warehouse anymore.
The tension in Tessa's heart relaxed, and Kakarot in her arms suddenly broke free from his embrace excitedly.
"Broly is back! I want to sue him!"
She sensed Broly's aura.
"Number 18, come with me."
Broly felt relieved when he saw that No. 18 was still staying in the living room. If No. 18, who could not be sensed by Qi, ran away, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find him again.
Following behind him was Professor Connors, his face looking very serious.
"Is this the lady?"
Professor Connors looked at No. 18 with pity.
No. 18 was very sensitive to Professor Connors' white coat. She jumped up from her chair and looked at Broly with hostility.
She thought Broly brought the Red Ribbon Army here.
"Calm down, calm down, No. 18, Professor Connors is here to examine you."
Broly said.
No. 18 hesitated for a long time before looking at Professor Connors with suspicion.
"Ma'am, don't be nervous. I won't hurt you." Professor Connors carefully comforted No. 18: "I will find a way to restore your body to normal."
"Can it really return to normal?"
Number 18, who had been expressionless all the time, suddenly became very excited.
"I can only do my best, but I can't make any guarantees."
Professor Connors said.
He did not make empty promises directly. Instead, he made No. 18, who had always been highly vigilant, feel a little trust and chose to follow Professor Connors to the biochemical laboratory built on the farm.
"What happened to No. 18?"
Tessa only realized now that the name No. 18 had a deeper meaning. When she was in the laboratory of the Osborne Group, she also used numbers to number the mice.
"She was taken to a laboratory for human body modification. All her memories were erased. I'm afraid you will have to teach her some common sense in life in the future."
Broly briefly explained the origin of No. 18, but concealed the secret that she came from the Dragon Ball world.
Tessa covered her mouth in shock.
"Broly! Broly! Something bad has happened! Domiciano called and said that Eclipse and his team were attacked. Except for him, everyone else was captured by a group of Wakandans!"
Cade ran over breathlessly, holding up his pants, to warn the police. He had just received a call from Domiciano in the bathroom.
