"Hey, this is my own," said the Silver-Haired Girl, noticing the frantic expression on her face as she rummaged through the chips and snacks in front of her. Yang Xiaoyou also frowned and added, "I brought those myself."
At first, it was fine; she had eaten all her own stock. But the snacks in front of her were definitely hers.
"If you don't share, I'll report you for bringing a pet on the plane." While whistling and eyeing the stash in front of her, this fellow, completely oblivious to the concept of courtesy, bared her teeth at Yang Xiaoyou.
Glancing down at her chest, Yang Xiaoyou noticed that her pet was hiding well. She couldn't understand how the other girl had figured it out until she spotted a few crumbs of food that she had fed to her pet earlier.
She had to admit, this future business rival of hers had quite an observant eye.
Later, perhaps because there were too many snacks, this unpredictable fellow decided it was too tiring to carry them all and plopped down in the empty seat next to Yang Xiaoyou. Without any hesitation, she tore open a package and started shoving snacks into her mouth.
Seeing this situation unfold, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but feel a bit aggrieved. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have added something special to the food; then all problems could have been easily solved.
"Hey, how did you manage to bring your pet up here? Did they let it slide during inspection? Is it a rodent? A hamster or a gerbil?" Fia asked with an intrigued expression while munching on snacks.
"Keep it down! Didn't I give you some to eat? This fellow is smart; if I let it out beforehand, it'll find a way to sneak over," Yang Xiaoyou made a shushing gesture and explained. Last time they encountered an unexpected situation in Shanghai, her pet had gone hungry for quite a while. This time, she felt guilty and brought it along since it followed her everywhere during summer vacation anyway.
Looking at the slender, fair neck of the girl sitting across from her, Yang Xiaoyou thought that if she didn't care about the consequences, she could eliminate this potential rival right now. Unfortunately, her current identity absolutely forbade such reckless actions.
Thus, she could only engage in casual conversation with the other girl to see if she could figure out more about her personality.
What left Yang Xiaoyou speechless was that throughout their chat, aside from initially discovering that she had brought a pet with her, there was nothing about this girl that resembled the identity she remembered.
Her very nature served as her best disguise; there was no need for any deliberate act. Thinking about this made Yang Xiaoyou feel a mix of envy and resentment.
"Goodbye, thanks for your hospitality, Yang." At Charles de Gaulle International Airport, at the exit gate, watching the silver-haired girl wave goodbye before getting into a black car, Yang Xiaoyou stood still as she watched her leave before resolutely turning in another direction.
After spending some time with this eccentric potential rival, Yang Xiaoyou still hadn't figured out anything useful about her.
Just observing the other party's security measures, it was clear that successfully making a move would be quite difficult. Missing this opportunity made it uncertain whether she would have another chance to learn about the other party's whereabouts.
"Ah, no wonder she's the head of Arms, so cautious about her own safety." Shaking her head in resignation, Yang Xiaoyou turned and walked in another direction.
The transactions in the Free Arms market were far more dangerous than those in legitimate markets. Everything was built on the foundation of substantial profit; once the benefits gained outweighed the reputation and rules, those so-called reputations and regulations would be shattered in an instant.
That Arms Princess relied on so many guards, while Yang Xiaoyou herself was also using her hidden identity to protect herself.
However, at present, the attention she attracted was nowhere near that of the future leader of HLI. Since she took over her father's and brother's work a few years ago, the development momentum of HLI Company had likely caused dissatisfaction and panic among many.
"Well, since I can't resolve this troublesome issue for now, I might as well make use of it." Reflecting on some plans in her mind, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but ponder.
With Firepower attracting attention above her, she could afford to loosen up some of her actions. Ultimately, her expectation still lay with her own Blackwater Security Company. If they couldn't manage to suppress HLI Company in arms trading, they could coexist for the time being.
After all, although HLI didn't have its own production department, it represented several legitimate products from various arms companies. Their formal background was far superior compared to her wild foundation, making it difficult to completely overshadow them.
"I need to create some trouble for her; ideally, I can get her and her competitors stuck in a quagmire where neither has time to deal with me." Looking at the bustling streets of France, Yang Xiaoyou appeared quite intrigued.
In her memory, she had visited the countries of Germany and France countless times as a mercenary but had only been there a few times during summer vacations in reality.
Due to historical factors, both countries had relatively few regular troops. The domestic laws provided clear protection and positioning for mercenaries.
This situation led most free mercenary companies worldwide to establish their headquarters in these two countries. These companies had even become cornerstones of their economies. Consequently, both nations increasingly strengthened their legal protections and inclinations toward hiring mercenaries.
Although France is the homeland of Mercenaries, the streets of Paris are devoid of any tense atmosphere. Couples embrace, elderly people stroll, and a romantic yet leisurely ambiance envelops this international metropolis.
The only hint of danger comes from the occasional sighting of a gun shop, adding a whiff of gunpowder to the city.
Behind these gun shops often lie endorsements from one or several Arms Dealers. The firearms displayed in the Gun Supermarket tend to be pricier, and ammunition is sold in limited quantities, making it quite difficult to take them abroad.
Many times, Mercenary teams on Special Missions need to contact the Free Arms Dealers back home.
Aside from the notable Gun Supermarket, the frequency of luxury goods shops here far exceeds that of an ordinary city.
After taking the subway to the 13th district of Paris, Yang Xiaoyou felt a surge of joy upon seeing many familiar Asian faces around. This area has the largest Chinese population and is the biggest Chinatown, making it the most suitable place for him to find a temporary refuge in his current identity.
"That girl Menglu really is something. We have so many renowned styles in our own school, yet she chooses to learn something else," he mused. Unlike the luxury goods and firearms found elsewhere, Chinatown is predominantly filled with Chinese restaurants and various martial arts schools.
Due to the rich martial culture within the Chinese Empire, Chinese Martial Arts hold a high status globally and are undoubtedly among the most popular fighting techniques.
However, just as Yang Xiaoyou was about to look for a cheaper hotel to drop off his belongings and shed this identity, he spotted two familiar figures that should not be here.
Looks like I have to go into Cousin's dungeon now; I hope I can make it out alive.
