Eden's Gems / That Woman Clearly Doesn't Look Like a Good Person!

"Liu Bai hasn't returned yet?"

"Ms. Eden? The BOSS is still dealing with the Herrscher of Corruption. Is there something you need?"

Natasha, who was cleaning the room, glanced at Eden had just entered with some surprise.

"If you need anything, I can help you contact Dr. Danzhu and the others... ah."

As Natasha turned around, a hanging ornament on her clothes knocked over a stack of documents.

"Just popped in to take a look." Eden shook his head as he bent down to help Natasha tidy up the documents on the floor. "By the way, did everyone else go?"

"Dr. Danzhu and Dr. Cangxuan have gone. As for Ms. Xiao Yun and the others, they will go home after they finish their work."

Natasha always felt a strange sense of guilt when facing Eden.

"I see." Eden nodded thoughtfully. "By the way, Natasha, did you sleep with Liu Bai?"

"..." Natasha froze for a moment, then forced a smile. "What are you talking about?"

"Is it a woman's intuition?" Eden smiled calmly. "I don't know why, but I just have this feeling—don't worry, I'm not catching someone cheating, so there's no need for me to feel guilty."

"Yes, there's no need for that." Natasha forced a smile.

Eden smiled as he continued organizing the documents, observing Natasha's flustered state.

She had no problem with Natasha; she was a virtuous wife. And judging from her current reaction, she didn't seem competitive. Although she had guessed correctly, she guessed that Natasha had only half-heartedly agreed at the time.

No, or perhaps it's a case of being in a privileged position?

Natasha is one of the people who can most legitimately approach Liu Bai.

However, at that time, it was either Rita or Clio who made her half-heartedly agree.

"... Hmm? The inauguration ceremony of the saintess of Aponia."

While organizing the files, Eden suddenly noticed a very interesting document.

"Miss Natasha, may I take a look at this document?"

"Um... okay." Natasha glanced at it, then, seeing it was just a piece of paper, didn't pay much attention.

This kind of paper is most likely an application form or transfer form. These kinds of documents are basically signed today and will be issued and implemented tomorrow.

Okay, forget about application forms and transfer forms. Even if it were truly confidential documents, Eden would be entitled to see them—of course, she wouldn't have the right to ask for permission to see confidential documents.

Then...

Natasha's mind went blank for a moment, and then she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Wait, didn't Miss Eden just mention something about a saint's inauguration ceremony?

Isn't that the "dating application form" that Otto submitted?

"Wait, Ms. Eden, um..."

"Um, what's that?" Eden casually placed the file on the table and looked at Natasha with a smile.

"Um... it's nothing—is it okay if I put it this way?"

Natasha's expression was strange.

"I'd like to ask, Ms. Eden, what are you planning to do?"

"I think... I haven't decided yet." Eden seemed to have remembered something interesting, and seemed to be smiling quite happily.

Concert?

Otto, how could you even think of that!

If music were truly useful, would I still be the way I am now?

Liu Bai is a musical idiot who can't distinguish anything except whether something sounds good or bad!

Eden blushed slightly at the thought.

Who would have thought that the most brilliant idol of this Previous Era was actually most skilled at music—the sounds of courtship...

However, this kind of date is surprisingly girlish.

"Natasha, can I ask you for a favor... a personal matter? The kind that won't be told to Liu Bai."

"This..." Natasha hesitated. "Why don't you tell me what it is first? I'll decide after I hear it."

"I'm not asking you to do anything bad—help me find out the performance schedule for Vienna's largest concert hall this weekend."

"No problem," Natasha agreed immediately.

This is not a difficult thing at all. Although it might put Otto in a bad position, Eden is not the only one who can ask her for help.

Even if Eden were willing to take action, he could go down there himself and figure things out in a few hours.

Out of consideration for her "mercy in sparing her life," Natasha had absolutely no reason to refuse such a trivial matter.

"Schicksal Otto, who else in Schicksal is very familiar with Vienna?"

"Knows Vienna very well...?" Natasha thought for a moment. "There are quite a few people like that, such as Rita, Reanna, Himeko, Ragna, Lady Cecilia... Basically, people born into Schicksal should know Vienna quite well—wait a minute, you're not trying to cause trouble, are you?"

"I haven't decided whether to go or not," Eden replied with a smile.

To be honest, Eden wasn't really interested in beating up Otto. After all, Otto was a complete psychopath, and beating him wouldn't have made a difference. She was actually more interested in seeing how Otto would react after discovering that Liu Bai was a musical idiot.

Speaking of beatings, Eden is much more interested in Mei than Otto. Mei is just like Mobius, incompetent and prone to causing trouble. It didn't matter before because there was no sense of urgency, but now it's time to settle things and make Mei understand the difference between king and queen.

As for Mobius... well, let's just say she's a close friend and let her have some fun.

However, Otto's actions served as a wake-up call for her, reminding her that times had changed.

Back then, I was an intermittent teenage girl with romantic fantasies, and I played that kind of music to satisfy my teenage fantasies. I really didn't expect Liu Bai to respond.

But now, is it difficult for me to play the piano and then express my love?

If you, Liu Bai, don't know what to do after this background music ends, don't worry, I know. I'll teach you step by step!

"... Uh, okay, it's none of my business anyway."

Natasha felt a little uncomfortable looking at Eden's smiling face.

"So, you didn't come here just to ask the boss out, did you?"

Natasha wouldn't believe anything like "just happened to come and take a look".

Eden isn't some street urchin; what are they doing here during work hours?

"It's nothing serious. Blanca said she found two boxes of gems in the warehouse and asked if I wanted them back." Eden said nonchalantly, "I wouldn't need them anyway, so I just came to ask what Liu Bai thought... But speaking of which, when did I lose two boxes of gems... I don't even remember it."

As he spoke, Eden himself became puzzled.

However, in Moth Chasers to Fire, aside from Eden, no one's gems are counted by the chest...

Natasha: "..."

"I had Liu Bai cash out most of the gems before the Golden Courtyard was built. Then we moved... well, I didn't really care about the move. Someone must have just thrown the stuff into the underground warehouse when they were helping me move."

Eden thought about it for a moment and realized that he had probably forgotten to put the boxes away when he was selling them, and then he didn't remember them after moving. When someone came over with two boxes and asked him where to put them, he didn't realize what was going on and just had them thrown into the warehouse...

"I don't think this will be of much use to the boss." Natasha really wanted to say, "Don't give me that..."

"How could there not be?" Eden smiled and looked Natasha up and down. "It can be a gift for you. Although I don't remember what kind of gems were in the box, since I lost them, they must all be rare and precious. They don't need any processing; they can be directly set into jewelry and used as tokens of love."

Although everyone wants to take a beating from Eden now, that doesn't stop her from considering Liu Bai. She won't make the same mistake twice.

"But there shouldn't be any more heirloom gems... Although I don't keep track of how many gems I have, I still remember the ones that are valuable." Eden rested his chin on his hand and began to recall. "Speaking of which, Pardo and Aili should still have some of the heirloom gems I gave away..."

"Stop... don't continue this conversation with a poor wretch like me."

"Talking about money all the time is so boring." Eden found Natasha's personality quite interesting. "By the way, I heard Liu Bai and I talk about how you're quite knowledgeable about wine tasting and stuff? You even owned a tavern?"

"I wouldn't dare say I'm an expert, I can only say I have some experience," Natasha replied. "As for the tavern... it's really hard to call it a success..."

"May I come to your room for a drink sometime next time?"

"Um... Welcome, Ms. Eden. Of course you're welcome to come."

Even disregarding Eden's act of giving her jewels after drinking, Natasha would welcome anyone willing to drink with her.

After all, drinking alone is no fun, and Liu Bai doesn't drink alcohol.

As for the others... Natasha felt that she could only invite Clio and Rita.

They're all bad friends.

"Your Excellency, this is the list of newly selected Valkyrie from various regions."

"...Huh?" Otto was stunned for a moment before he realized what Amber was talking about, "The Valkyrie Selection?"

"Yes, every year, Schicksal selects suitable Valkyrie candidates from orphanages or other places, and then trains them to become prospective Valkyrie."

Amber had never expected her church to react this way.

"And then... this one is from this year."

"I do know about this," Otto muttered as she took the document. She hadn't forgotten such an important matter as maintaining the number of Valkyrie. "I thought this matter had been terminated by now, and shouldn't this document be submitted to the Lord God for approval?"

"... Because the others submitted their documents directly here. By the way, we haven't officially issued any documents or notices regarding the organization merger yet."

Amber maintained a completely blank expression.

"And there was no order to say that the selection process was terminated..."

"It seems that it really is..." Otto was speechless. "But whatever, let's just hand it over. Anyway, the Lord God can't have too many guards."

"Hmm... the quality this year is really just so-so."

Otto watched and made comments.

"They're all reserves, not even a B-rank. Is it that the trainees are bad or the instructors are bad? If all else fails, just bring in the teams outside. Come to think of it, Matilra and Sophia from the Phosphophyllite Squad should be promoted. The captain of the Snow Lotus Squad has even been transferred here. Oh, right, didn't Valkyrie from the Phosphophyllite Squad transfer here a few years ago and not return her?"

"They've already been included in the Unfading Blade," Amber sighed. Otto clearly knew all this; he had obviously reviewed the case files from over the years. "And to directly fill in something like this..."

"I know it will reduce the defense capabilities of various places, but that Valkyrie is only B-rank? It feels a bit strange." Otto glanced at Amber. "Just kidding... Hmm, wait, there's a newcomer who's been rated as having the potential to become S-Rank Valkyrie?"

Otto's eyes lit up.

"Your name is... Vita?"

Chapter 573 This woman is obviously not a good person!

"No... wait a minute."

Otto looked at the photo in the file, his eyes lit up, and he immediately noticed the problem. He turned the file over and handed it to Amber.

"Hey Amber, Vita ...doesn't she look a little familiar?"

"Familiar?" Amber paused for a moment, then examined the person in the photo more closely. "Hmm, this..."

Amber stared blankly at it for a while.

"... Mr. Su?"

Aside from their height, weight, and angular features, these two really look alike!

"Perhaps he is Mr. Su's alternate form in the present civilization?"

Amber hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"...God knows." Otto rolled his eyes. "Find Sue and have him come and take a look in person."

"Yes."

Amber quickly dialed Sue's number, and after explaining the situation, Sue and Kevin appeared in the office shortly afterward.

"Excuse me, Bishop Otto."

"... Why did this person follow us?" Otto pointed expressionlessly at Kevin, who stood nonchalantly behind Sue.

"Just ignore those who're just here for the fun." Su said calmly. It would be strange if this guy didn't get involved in this kind of commotion. "Excuse me, Bishop, where is the girl you mentioned who is suspected to be my alternate body?"

"Look this way."

Otto unfolded the screen and projected Vita's image onto it.
