Rita shook her head with a smile.
"By the way, what is that pyramid-like building over there?"
"...That's our administrative building. The pyramid design is one of our boss's little hobbies."
In truth, although Raven knew Jackal had a strong Egyptian obsession, she still could not understand why, of all things, Jackal had chosen to make their administrative building into a pyramid.
"I see. No wonder I felt that your company's decorations had such an Egyptian style all along the way."
Rita nodded in understanding.
...Amazing. She could actually understand Jackal's taste—Raven sincerely thought to herself.
The next moment, Rita abruptly changed the subject.
"Then let us leave it at that. This inspection is now concluded."
...Concluded?
Shiora froze for a moment. Was it really ending so hastily?
She had apparently never expected Rita to be so "reasonable."
This... counted as successfully concealing the organization's traces, right?
"Now, let us discuss serious business." Rita had no intention of turning around and leaving. Instead, she brought up the words "serious business."
Those words made Raven tense up again.
Serious business? Was she going to drag me to court? Expose World Serpent outright?
It had to be said that, with Kevin failing to escape as expected, Raven had become rather jumpy.
However, as though she had not noticed Shiora's tension, Rita slowly said, "Destiny hopes to receive your company's assistance during this visit to Shenzhou."
"Assistance?"
Hearing that word, Shiora seemed to remember something and let out a breath of relief.
Right. They were here to capture K423, not to cause trouble for us.
"Of course. As long as it is within Shencheng Pharmaceuticals' capabilities, Miss Rita, please feel free to ask."
Shiora only wanted to send Rita away as quickly as possible.
"It is nothing major."
Rita offered a polite remark.
