Chapter 725: Caught Off Guard

"Hmm, a synchronization rate of 120%?"

A middle-aged man wearing glasses, his face slightly stern and somber, sat with his hands crossed over a desk, looking at the message he had just received with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Yet his normally steady nature restrained him from showing much of any other expressions.

He was indeed the highest authority at NERV, Gendo Ikari.

"Tao Yu is Airi Suzuki's cousin, coming from that village. Airi Suzuki herself might not have pure motives toward us."

Beside him, Kozo Fuyutsuki, meticulous and with greying hair, also noticed a point specially flagged in the message.

Fuyutsuki was the teacher to Shinji Ikari's mother, Yui Ikari, and his feelings toward Yui might have transcended the usual teacher-student relationship. He was also privy to the final complementation plan and currently served as Gendo Ikari's right-hand man.
