"Do you live here? No way, that's perfect! Help me figure out where this is. The divisions in your Chinese Empire are so different from ours," Fia said, turning the address over and over in her hands, a hint of frustration evident on her face. She was surprised to find that Yang Xiaoyou happened to live here.
Without thinking much, she shoved the note into Yang Xiaoyou's hands and leaned in, her delicate fingers pointing at the address on the paper.
Seeing the familiar address that had become almost numb to her, and hearing the beeping sound from her phone, Yang Xiaoyou suddenly felt overwhelmed.
"Uh, let me take a look. Hmm, this place... I know it. It seems like the homeowner is never home, so you probably don’t need to look for them anymore," Yang Xiaoyou said casually after pretending to examine the note.
"I can't shake the feeling that something's off with you. Are you hiding something? Do you know this fellow?" Fia asked, her tone inquisitive. Undoubtedly, this princess was a bit mischievous at times, but her abilities were unquestionable. Among the women Yang Xiaoyou knew, only the Demoness could rival her.
Although Yang Xiaoyou was trying to act natural, Fia still sensed something amiss.
As Fia scrutinized her with a suspicious look, Yang Xiaoyou noticed Weimar nearby, sharpening her nails with a dagger and wearing a threatening expression. All Yang Xiaoyou could do was force a smile.
"Oh right, my father's friend’s real name should also be Yang according to your Chinese Empire's surnames. Mr. Xiao You Yang, could it be that you're the one related to my person?" Fia's reaction speed and insight were undoubtedly top-notch; after just a brief pause from Yang Xiaoyou's awkward laughter, she went straight for the core of the matter.
"You seemed so natural at first, but suddenly there was a change as if you received a call—was it your parents or my father who notified you? Heh heh, looks like they caught you off guard," Fia said with a playful glint in her eye as she unraveled the situation step by step.
"Haha, you're really clever. That's exactly it; I don't even know what happened. I was caught off guard—yeah, caught off guard," Yang Xiaoyou replied awkwardly after realizing she couldn't dodge the topic any longer. She scratched her head with a stiff expression and followed along with Fia's line of questioning.
"Right! Because you were caught off guard, you just happened to be on the same flight in Dubai and then coincidentally arrived at the gate at the same time. Do you believe that?" Fia continued with a bright smile.
"I believe," Yang Xiaoyou said as she slowly began to back away, feeling increasingly awkward.
"Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. You're my father's friend's son and an outstanding talent; I wouldn't do anything too excessive—just a little bit will do. I promise it won't hurt much," Fia said as she opened her eyes wide, her demeanor shifting dramatically as if she were a queen in control of everything.
Behind her, Weimar was sharpening her nails with a dagger, her eyes blazing with fury. At that moment, she stepped forward, deftly twirling the dagger in her hand, producing a sharp whistling sound in the air.
"Is it going to hurt much?" Yang Xiaoyou asked nervously, swallowing hard as she watched the spinning dagger.
"Of course, it's that thing down there," Weimar replied. "Don't worry. Even if you can't be a wife to Boss, you can still be a sister. Right now, you don't have a gun in your hand, so if you don't resist, you might suffer less." Weimar spoke with confidence, then licked the blade of her dagger, a glint of excitement flashing in her remaining eye as she charged forward with a gust of wind.
She had a vivid impression of this young man who had pressured her back in Tokyo Metro. However, she also had full confidence in her own breakthroughs. After all, he was unarmed now.
Even if he had a weapon, at this distance, by the time he drew it, her attack would have already reached its target.
Just as Yang Xiaoyou was preparing to adapt to the changes in her body with some resignation, she suddenly felt a shift in the atmosphere; her arms, which had been hanging naturally at her sides, relaxed.
As the sharp dagger sliced through the air with a piercing sound and was about to reach Yang Xiaoyou, another dagger came from behind her to meet it.
'Clang!'
A shower of sparks erupted from the collision in mid-air, and soon both daggers were locked in a stalemate before Yang Xiaoyou.
"Ah, isn't this Arms girl? Nice to see you again," said Charming Shadow, dressed casually and gripping her dagger tightly to block the attack. A playful smile curved her alluring red lips.
However, her main focus remained on the formidable One-Eyed Woman in front of them. They had crossed paths several times during assassination missions; previously they were evenly matched. But now that One-Eyed Woman had made significant progress, the pressure on Charming Shadow increased dramatically.
Although she hadn't neglected her training and her master occasionally provided guidance, the shift in focus at work had widened the gap between them.
They were currently locked in a tense standoff, each holding back, but if they truly let loose, Charming Shadow had no confidence in the outcome. However, she was well aware of her master's terrifying power and felt no real concern; at that moment, her words carried no weight.
"Oh, I almost forgot. You two have left Revenant to join Hive Security Company. Hey, you must still be dealing with your old master's wrath, right? Is it really okay to be running around like this?" Charming Shadow showed no signs of pressure, and naturally, Weimar felt none either; she was completely confident in her ability to suppress the other.
However, they were in the Chinese Empire, right at the district entrance, so they couldn't afford to let their guard down. Even their brief exchange had drawn curious onlookers.
Of course, although both held daggers in their hands, the crowd didn’t think much of it beyond entertainment or some new form of play. Some even looked around for cameras, while a few girls nearby were captivated by Charming Shadow's stunning figure and Fia's vibrant personality.
Seeing the situation around them, Weimar realized that since a decisive strike was not possible, it wasn't a good opportunity to continue. She promptly withdrew.
Having achieved a breakthrough in her realm, she felt in control of the rhythm of the encounter; thus, retreating posed no pressure for her.
On the other side, Charming Shadow also had no intention of making things difficult for herself by launching an attack. She sheathed her weapon that had been protecting Yang Xiaoyou and turned to pick up two shopping bags filled with groceries from the ground.
It seemed she had just returned from grocery shopping and was caught off guard by the sudden commotion.
As she noticed a few strands of hair sliced away by the fierce wind from the blades, Yang Xiaoyou displayed a deadpan expression. What kind of trouble had she stumbled into?
Everything was ruined... Tonight she was supposed to treat her future colleagues to dinner, but what happened to her already thin wallet?
