"Ugh, who is that? So shameless!" Liu Lianyue, who had been chatting casually with Fia, couldn't help but blush slightly and stammer in complaint as she caught sight of Charming Shadow and Yang Xiaoyou whispering intimately to each other.
To her, the sight of Charming Shadow, dressed so coolly and clinging so closely to Yang Xiaoyou, was indeed quite a visual shock. Even in the Activity Room, not even the Demoness would behave so provocatively!
With such a flirtatious demeanor, she looked just like one of those seductive fox spirits, a Bad Woman, who would dare to toy with students.
"Hehe, she's actually the Foodie's bodyguard," Fia said, noticing Liu Lianyue's envious expression and breaking into a sly smile.
Liu Lianyue felt her face heat up as she replied, "He's a member of my club! As the president, it's my duty to help him avoid being deceived by Bad Women in society."
"Well, it's really tough. Boys at his age are usually at their most impulsive. Helping him is quite challenging. But if you're willing to go as far as that bodyguard sister, there might still be a chance to save him," Fia said seriously, though a glint of mischief sparkled in her eyes.
Liu Lianyue fell into deep thought after hearing this, considering its feasibility. However, she soon realized she had been played and shot an annoyed glare at the grinning Fia.
No matter whether it was the initial request for help or the changes that occurred along the way, even now when the other party had lost their strongest protector, they still held all the initiative. This made her feel both frustrated and somewhat envious of the other woman; they were of similar ages after all.
Her own skills paled in comparison.
Thinking back on how Liang Wuxuan had always kept her under pressure and recalling the brutal defeat she had suffered at the hands of Bear Suit Girl, Liu Lianyue couldn't help but feel a bit resentful.
However, this resentment soon transformed into motivation. Since they were both girls of similar ages and the other could achieve so much, it was clear that gender was not a limiting factor for success! There was still plenty of room for her to improve! She needed to work twice as hard!
"Useless! A bunch of useless fools! Three masters have failed to complete their mission and left us in such a passive position—damn it!" In a luxurious office sat a middle-aged man with an aristocratic air about him. His current expression of rage completely shattered his composed image.
The ordinary citizens outside would never imagine that this philanthropist and Congressman, who always wore a cheerful smile in public, could display such an outburst.
Seated firmly in the third highest position within the Tongtang Party Headquarters, he ranked even higher than the deceased Ou Qizheng. In fact, compared to Second's ranking, he wielded even greater power and resources at his disposal! Most proposals were entrusted entirely to him for handling.
Zhong Cheng, who had recently transitioned from business to politics and was facing a bright future, found himself engulfed in a lingering gloom after receiving several pieces of news.
He had placed too much faith in that young man. What was supposed to be a rare opportunity to surprise the other side with the Blood Robe Squad's first mission had instead turned into an embarrassing setback for him, as the opponent had cleverly turned the tables. Not only did the mission fail, but neither side gained any advantage.
Now was not the time to confront them openly. If they descended into internal strife, it would likely embolden the ruling party and several opposition factions to take advantage of the chaos.
Once the next election was successfully navigated, there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with those unruly and undisciplined fools.
“Mr. Zhong, what you need to consider now is how to handle the aftermath; complaining won't solve anything.” Just as Zhong Cheng smashed a teacup in frustration, a cold voice emerged from within the office. In a corner stood an inconspicuous man wearing a mask.
“Hmph! It's easier said than done. Those incompetent fools are your people. I really don't understand why Boss trusts fellows like you.” Although Zhong Cheng's words dripped with sarcasm, he seemed somewhat wary of the figure in black.
This man was a trusted confidant sent by the internal faction, and he had brought along a highly capable team. It had to be acknowledged that although the mission had failed, this team he had personally witnessed possessed formidable combat strength, which was desperately needed at headquarters.
Especially since that mysterious and massive organization had recently slowed its pace due to changes in business dealings in the Middle East, limiting external support. The loyalty-guaranteed combat team personally provided by the Party Leader was even more valuable under these circumstances.
“Misjudging the opponent's strength was indeed my mistake. If you want me to make amends now, I can do that; I’ll go myself if necessary.” The masked figure spoke in a chilling tone, seemingly unfazed by Zhong Cheng's attitude, standing there like a cold statue.
His words were flat, yet beneath that calmness lay an oppressive fear! Three strong individuals at Momentum Level had failed to accomplish what he claimed he could handle alone with apparent ease!
“Knowingly asking, no actions should be taken for now; let me resolve this issue first.” Acknowledging his responsibility allowed Zhong Cheng to back down gracefully; securing this promise was enough for him. He believed that after this incident, his previously ineffective command over him would improve.
The immediate priority was to defuse the situation caused by their blunder.
Undoubtedly, following this unexpected incident, the activities of Yang Xiaoyou and their travel group were forced to come to an abrupt halt.
The Travel Agency not only refunded the entire amount but also provided each person with a compensation for their distress. After all, this somewhat upscale Travel Agency valued its reputation highly. Even though the incident they encountered was an unforeseen disaster, they still did their best to ensure the remaining travelers were satisfied.
After receiving this additional compensation, everyone except the director and the relatives of the deceased, including Yang Xiaoyou, accepted this resolution.
Liu Lianyue had originally planned to find Yang Xiaoyou and discuss where to go next, but this was not the right time. Regardless, the personnel she brought along had suffered significant casualties. Given her sense of responsibility, she knew she had to handle the aftermath for those brothers during this period.
Once the police lifted their restrictions on everyone, after a moment of silence, she finally uttered a farewell and hurriedly left with her team.
However, a new trouble soon followed.
"We're allies, you know! Your boss will definitely agree. I have a great relationship with him!" Fia exclaimed, standing in front of Yang Xiaoyou like an angry lion, growling and fidgeting.
Just when the Revenant was about to abandon their assassination plans, they encountered such a problem in the Chinese Empire, leaving Fia feeling a headache and speechless.
Moreover, Weimar's fate was still uncertain; it was impossible to follow that group of Radicals due to safety concerns. Their relationship with her was already quite delicate.
In that case, it would be better to seek out her nominal 'allies.' Fia had a strong impression of the core members' capabilities within Hive Security.
Not to mention that Charming Shadow who protected that Foodie; she had interacted with him more than once and was well aware of his formidable abilities.
Additionally, if some personnel from Hive Security Company's Asian office were dispatched, then safety would be fundamentally assured.
Only by ensuring her own safety could she spare energy to search for Weimar. Fia believed that since she hadn't seen Weimar's body, he must have survived.
"Our boss will agree," Yang Xiaoyou said with a bemused expression as he watched Fia's antics. He couldn't help but wonder why he himself didn't know how good his relationship with this princess really was.
However, whether as a partner of Hive Security Company, due to the relationship with Both Sides' parents, or simply because of the good reputation of Hive Security Company's security services, Yang Xiaoyou found it difficult to leave her alone when she was not by her side in Weimar.
But if she brought her along, it was clear that troublesome matters would become quite a headache for herself, and there was also the possibility that her keen insight might discover something.
For herself, it would be relatively easier to identify issues at Dream Butterfly.
"Well, I'll take her with me first, and after finding Revy for Duh, I can leave her with them," Heart flashed briefly before Yang Xiaoyou made her decision.
Since Duh insisted that Revy was still in the city, it wouldn't be wise to search elsewhere right now. With the help of local forces and Revy's looks being an advantage, as long as she was still in the downtown area, there was a good chance they could find her.
The only concern was that the other party might have locked her away in some basement without giving her a chance to show herself. If that were the case, it would be quite helpless.
For now, Duh needed to recover from his injuries, and then they could send Eighth Master to look for her. During the waiting period for news, Fia could temporarily be entrusted to Charming Shadow for safety.
Arms Dealer was indeed a profession that easily attracted hatred. Even though the Revenant's orders had not all been withdrawn yet, new troubles arose here, making Yang Xiaoyou grateful that she had never revealed her identity.
Otherwise, with all the chaos going on, even if she were fine herself, she would still be driven crazy. Life would become even more miserable.
