Shencheng Pharmaceuticals Has Turned Into a Complete Mess

Cocolia put herself in this situation and realized that it was something that could actually be accomplished with a bit of reluctance.

That's the downside of not being related by blood...

And to be honest, this might be considered filial piety... after all, she's a well-known older single woman.

No, if things really develop like this, it will be too chaotic.

Just thinking about that scenario gives Cocolia a headache.

If Lady Nancy finds out about this, I'll definitely be shot eight times in the back and commit suicide!

While Cocolia was panicking, Ragna was also panicking.

She's even more numb than Cocolia.

Although she wasn't marrying off her daughter, but...

Hmm... there's no way to explain the Alliance Leader's support group situation.

That's an entire Valkyrie squad!

Ragna, who was pretending to be a cafeteria worker, was already thinking of finding a block of tofu to commit suicide.

Although it's still a form of idol worship, these people would never mind their idols engaging in fan-related activities.

Hmm... a group of single women in their thirties who can't find men, that's all there is to it.

If Ragna hadn't stopped her recently, Himeko would have been beaten to a pulp by her seniors long ago—So what if she's a junior? So what if she's recovering from injuries? Jealousy is driving me crazy, take my iron fist!

Her own bunch of bastard teammates really dare to take advantage of any opportunity... Well, she has no right to criticize others.

She's in her early thirties...

So Himeko is able to lie in bed and slack off for a paycheck, all thanks to her captain's outstanding sense of morality...

(But then again, it seems like I do have a chance...)

Ragna seemed lost in thought.

Compared to Himeko, who is now "abandoned by everyone" in the assault team, she is still the reliable captain, okay?

Support is still overwhelming.

(But I'd probably get killed by Lady Nancy if I did that—even though I'm under Lady Reanna's command.)

But Cocolia is also under Reanna's command...

Once the Alliance Leader is involved in the Anti-Entropy, everything really goes into chaos...

Ragna sighed, then inexplicably thought of Rita and Bianka, those two little... no, I shouldn't call them little girls now.

She's already an outstanding lady, and she has a very good relationship with the Alliance Leader of the alliance.

... Suddenly, I felt a sense of crisis.

These past few days, Ragna has been having recurring dreams of Rita and Bianka, both dressed in wedding gowns, vying to invite her to be their bridesmaid...

Yeah, the anxiety of being a "leftover woman".

"Oh, and while you're at it, bring Mei back too. Stop digging potatoes, hurry back and give that brat Mei a hard time."

Edison didn't notice the two people pretending to be invisible next to him, and after thinking for a moment, he added.

It's time to let those youngsters see the wisdom of their predecessors.

"Dr. Einstein thought this was simply the wisdom of a jealous woman."

"The short, blue-haired, chicken-headed guy is not allowed to speak."

Einstein shrugged.

She wasn't particularly attached to anything; she was mostly just looking forward to it.

Hmm... just like Liu Bai's assessment of her. "A good woman in a slightly strange sense."

Schicksal, 10:00 AM.

"... There really are quite a few things piling up."

Otto stretched.

"However, isn't the defense of Schicksal a bit weak right now? Although there are other squads of the Unfading Blade, they are completely useless against strong enemies."

"I think so too. Although, according to normal thinking, a freak like Miss Hua who can single-handedly overcome Schicksal is a once-in-a-century phenomenon, in this era, two or three of them might emerge every year."

Kallen stretched, her beautiful, voluptuous curves instantly ruining Otto's good mood for the day.

"Since you think so too..."

Otto glanced at the report that Rita had recently sent back.

"Speaking of which, it seems we don't need to continue the pursuit in Sky Dome City. As for the K423 matter... well, let's find some time to sort it out."

"His mother hasn't woken up yet."

Kallen rolled her eyes.

Although she saved Cecilia, Cecilia's injuries healed, but she remained unconscious, essentially a vegetable.

"So what if someone is in a vegetative state? We can talk as long as they're not dead."

Otto couldn't help but facepalm when he thought of this.

"Hurry up and throw those soul steel bodies into the furnace; they're a headache to look at."

This mess... Otto is too tired to even complain.

However, to be so obsessive that he makes enemies of the whole world... well, Otto can only say that he is truly himself.

"Amber."

"Yes." The masked girl gave a slight bow.

"Send a message to Rita and Durandal, instructing them to abandon the mission and return to Schicksal Headquarters immediately."

"Yes."

"..."

Rita and Shiora looked at each other in silence as they received the new order from Schicksal.

"... Has your bishop lost his mind?"

Shiora spoke without hesitation.

"Your act wasn't convincing enough, and you've aroused suspicion. Didn't you say these past few days that you were about to catch them?"

"The reports I sent to His Excellency the Bishop were all compiled based on your World Serpent's reports. Unless you try to profit from both sides, the Bishop will never discover the problem."

"You must believe in the loyalty of all members of the World Serpent to Lord Liu Bai."

"Hehe."

Rita gave a polite yet sarcastic smile.

"However, I still trust Mr. Gray Serpent's reputation."

After all, it was because of Liu Bai that the Gray Serpent directly invited her to become the World Serpent Lord...

Moreover, Rita has to admit that although World Serpent's style has gone a bit off these past few days, its purity can still be guaranteed.

Both Shiora and Clio can be considered die-hard fans, not to mention Gray Serpent.

I haven't met the others, so I won't comment on them.

"Sigh... this order came from..."

Rita facepalmed.

"Should we go back and assassinate the bishop?"

"Do I need to remind you how many spare bodies your bishop has?" Shiora sneered.

Assassination? You really have a wild idea.

Hmm... wait a minute...

Shiora's eyes suddenly turned strange.

To be honest, if the Purging Thunder used special bullets, Otto would really die if he was slow to react.

She had done this before; if Otto hadn't reacted quickly and uploaded her consciousness, she would have really died.

"Just kidding."

Rita gave a polite smile.

"Well, let's just pretend we didn't see it. Let's delay it as long as we can."

"What if we can't delay any longer?"

"Laugh"

"What are you laughing at, you big dummy!"

Chapter 284 The Chaotic State of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals

"Your bishop is really unlucky to have a subordinate like you."

"Is this what they mean by a conflict of interest?"

Rita smiled politely.

"We were forced into this situation."

"Then your so-called helplessness is really cheap..."

"I can't help but complain," Shiora couldn't help but say.

Just to avoid being transferred back, you "reluctantly" want to kill your own boss? Are you crazy?!

"Because the existence of the bishop is like a thorn in my side, it's always better to strike first."

"... Say what you want."

"Hmm... By the way, does your World Serpent still need a Lord?" Rita suddenly asked again.

"...?" Shiora looked Rita up and down. "I don't need it, get lost."

"Miss Shiora, your attitude is really terrible," Rita sighed.

"If Dr. Mei hadn't appeared, you might have been able to become a doctor, but now that she's here, you'd better give up."

Hearing this, Rita showed no disappointment.

Shiora was too lazy to argue with Rita about these things, and glanced at the clock. "By the way, aren't the people from Anti-Entropy arriving today? Aren't you going to pick them up, Miss Rita?"

"Picking them up at the airport... I don't know anyone at Anti-Entropy, so I'd just be a background figure if I went. It's better to leave the seats for them."

Rita thought for a moment and realized that she only knew two people on Anti-Entropy.

One was Schrödinger, the first mate of the Caledonia, which was part of the World Bubble back then, and the other should be Himeko.

However, she wasn't very close to the former, and as for Himeko... although they were close, their relationship had been more like a distant, platonic one since Ragna's death.

However, if she hadn't lost her memory after coming out of the World Bubble, she would most likely have been able to get in touch with Schrödinger, since Gnius was entrusted to her for safekeeping.

But there's no point in saying all this now; if we're not familiar with each other, we're not familiar with each other.

"Didn't you not go either?"

"I just hate crowds... To be honest, I do have the idea of currying favor with powerful people."

"Whose are you hugging?" Rita asked with slight curiosity.

"That Princess Nancy."

Shiora sighed. This guy was practically a "little golden man," okay? Even a tiny bit of his wealth, peeking out from under his fingernails, would be enough for her and her adopted children to live on for two lifetimes.

"I really hope you figure out where your current treatment comes from." Rita rolled her eyes at Shiora.

"I know, my current treatment is all thanks to Lord Liu Bai —that's why I didn't go looking for trouble."
