Li Sushang: People in This Era Have So Many Tricks!

"Bai... Ge...?"

Thinking it was still a dream, she couldn't help but pinch herself. The sharp pain made her unable to remain calm any longer, and she began to tremble with excitement.

Disillusioned with life, Xin Zhong wrote the epitaph of the vulture's heir.

(Found him! Found him! It's him! It's him! It's definitely him! Bai Ge! You bastard, I finally found you! This time you won't disappear from my side, you irresponsible bastard, you...)

An indescribable emotion welled up inside me.

Crystalline tears welled up in the Raven's eyes.

She could only vaguely make out the boy's figure through the scope, and she quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears that were getting in the way.

(Miss Raven, don't be too greedy. You should get to work. Three zeros, three zeros should satisfy you now, right?)

"Huh? Who the hell do you want me to attack?"

Otto's urging voice came through the communication headset. Raven in dissatisfaction, pulled out the headset, and threw it on the ground.

She then turned her gun around, and the person appearing in the crosshairs of the scope became Otto Apocalypse.

"I finally found this White Dove, and you want me to kill it? Otto, is that right? Go to hell."

Raven pulled the trigger of the Cleansing Thunder of Seven Sins very hard.

Suddenly, a blue-purple lightning bolt shot out.

With a speed that even Herrscher would find difficult to react to, it struck Otto's head directly, who was still urging Raven quickly.

Boom--!

Bai Ge: "???"

Otto: "???"

Looking at the Soul Steel body that started to disintegrate into atoms from the head, Bai Ge was completely dumbfounded. He wondered what kind of operation this was and why he couldn't understand it at all.

Could it be some new Otto- brand conspiracy? But the first step is self-destruction or something, how novel!

"Was that lightning bolt just now the Cleansing Thunder of Seven Sins? Otto, do you really want to say goodbye to me forever? Is today April Fool's Day?"

Bai Ge glanced at her phone calendar with some uncertainty.

Otto couldn't answer his question because, having been blown apart in the head, he was naturally broken down into atoms starting from his brain.

But the gesture of clenching his fists tightly and raising his arms seemed to Bai Ge like a protest and anger.

The instant he realized he had been hit, Otto roared inwardly in anger.

(What the World Serpent?! Refund!!)

However, this roar of the consumer ultimately failed to reach anyone, Otto Apocalypse's Soul Steel Body was reduced to nothing in just a few seconds.

Bai Ge looked bewildered. He cautiously approached and then poked the spot where Might of An-Utu atom had turned into Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment. After hesitating for a few seconds, he Heavenly Fire Unleashed, completely destroying the atom as well.

"Hmm, so what's going on here?"

"Bai Ge--!!"

Just as he was wondering about this.

A familiar voice suddenly called out from afar.

Bai Ge subconsciously looked up and saw an Island Exploding Raven descending from the sky, holding a smoking Cleansing Thunder of Seven Sins in her hand, proving that she was the one who fired the shot.

"Natasha? You, how did you get here?!"

Bai Ge's eyes widened in surprise, but she was still overjoyed and opened her arms to give Raven a big hug.

"Never mind, that's not important. Nata, how have you been lately? Still a mercenary? Still raising money for the villa island? It's so good to see you again. Was it you who fired the shot just now? Thank you! You really helped me out!"

Bai Ge had a lot to say to his close friend and partner whom he hadn't seen for a year.

"Um, I, you... I'm also very happy to see you here, Bai Ge."

The Raven was stunned by this sudden, unexpected embrace; all the harsh words it had previously uttered were now rendered speechless.

Then she casually tossed the Cleansing Thunder of Seven Sins on the ground, and then used her free hands to hug Bai Ge tightly.

Cleansing Thunder of Seven Sins: (Island Exploding Raven, you're trying to rebel! How dare you throw me to the ground! Just wait, next time you go on a mission, I'll turn into a slingshot! You won't be using me for a week!)

Natalie, who hadn't yet realized that she would be fighting with a slingshot for the next week, finally snapped out of her reverie half a minute later, waking up from the warm embrace of the boy in front of her.

Thinking back to this guy in front of me, he realized that he had disappeared without a word for a whole year, making me worry for so long.

She immediately raised her foot and poked Bai Ge's boots with her heel, while simultaneously clenching her small fists and punching him in the chest.

"You bastard, where have you been all year? Do you know how hard I've searched for you! Bai Ge, do you think a hug is enough to make me forgive you? Dream on! Take responsibility for yourself!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take responsibility, I'll take responsibility... wait, what responsibility do I need to take? How do I take responsibility?"

Bai Ge said he was a little confused at the moment.

Ultimately, Raven, your appearance was too sudden.

And you're still talking like that? It's like I'm some kind of scumbag who cheated on you. When did we get together?

"Taking responsibility for what? Nata, you're making it sound like I dumped you."

"!!!"

Raven blushed and gently bit her lip.

She raised her small fists and punched Bai Ge's chest again and again, as if to vent the gloom and worries that had accumulated over the past year.

She also understood her relationship with Bai Ge.

They can basically only be described as mercenary team partners and relatively close friends.

It was she who took it upon herself to project some extra emotions onto Bai Ge, and it was she who proposed signing a lifetime contract.

Natasha's mind drifted back to that phrase—"The White Dove in the church will not kiss the crows."

If Bai Ge is that White Dove...

Then perhaps I am another crow.

She envied the peace and beauty symbolized by the former and longed for this dazzling young man, but the ominous crow could be accompanied by the pure White Dove.

Therefore, she couldn't speak at that moment and could only express her emotions in this way.

"Nata, you..."

"Hmph! Don't talk to me. I'm working solo now. We're no longer partners! I'll find a time to terminate that lifetime contract later. Bai Ge, you'll have to pay the penalty for breach of contract!"

"..."

Bai Ge's gaze caught the glistening tears in the corner of her eyes, though the Raven quickly wiped them away. But thinking of the woman's relentless fists and the words she had spoken, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Bai Ge immediately realized that Raven's feelings for him were perhaps deeper than he had imagined.

Ultimately, the fact that she recognized Bai Ge instantly, without being limited by systemic thinking, already meant that Natasha had an extraordinary fondness for him.

"I'm sorry, Nata, I've kept you waiting."

"... Who's being presumptuous? I wasn't waiting for you."

"However, I don't plan to pay any penalty for breach of contract. I will never give up your lifetime contract."

Bai Ge looked into her eyes and said earnestly.

Raven felt a sudden tightness in his heart.

She immediately lowered her head to avoid looking into Bai Ge's eyes, but still gripped his battle suit tightly with one hand and whispered.

"You must never disappear without telling me anything again, or I will never forgive you."

"I understand. If there's a next time, I'll work for you for free for the rest of my life."

"... Okay, it's a deal!"

Raven paused for a moment, then a slight smile finally appeared on her lips as she pressed her fist against Bai Ge's chest and said.

"If there's a next time, Bai Ge, I'll make you either my personal bartender for life, or my butler for life on my villa island!"

"Hehe, that kind of life doesn't seem so bad."

Bai Ge smiled slightly, recalling the time they had spent together in the past, running around the world doing missions, having a few drinks after last night's mission, and occasionally discussing the issue of adopted children.

He truly enjoyed those days.

Just then, a sound came from the headphones.

"Bai Ge, how are things going on your end?"

"Mei? I've got this sorted out. How about you guys? Are you done fighting with Durandal?"

"... Yes, it's over."

Mei's voice in the headphones suddenly became noticeably deeper.

Bai Ge immediately realized that the girl had probably lost, but that was normal, after all, her opponent was that Golden Valkyrie, Durandal, who had been cheating since she was a child.

"Wait here, I'll be right there."
