Saria: How Do I Save My Best Friend from Playing with Fire?

Therefore, the only person these officials could rely on was the highest-ranking leader in name, namely the Empress.

Now I am fully capable of handling things independently, and I will not need any external assistance for a short period of time.

Fortunately, the Empress did well, and thus received the reward they desired most.

Although Huang Cao didn't want to be seen as a reward, she was happy as long as they were happy.

"From today onwards, there's no need to call me master anymore. Just call me Ah Cao or Huang Cao."

The two sheep shook their heads, and as if on cue, spoke in unison:

"A master is a master, and we are willing to be your sheep servants for life."

Huang Cao didn't pay any attention to those words.

Because Kal'tsit used to say the same thing, this cat has now changed its address from "master" to "Master Huang" or "Grass".

Once they've fully integrated into the family, their way of addressing them will probably change.

After all, women would definitely have reservations at first, fearing that their way of addressing someone would upset someone in the family.

But Huang Cao's wives are all very understanding, so it won't be long before the two sheep truly integrate into the group.

"Master, actually, the two of us are still..." Herimath said shyly, her mature voice containing an irresistible allure.

Last night's battle was indeed exhilarating, but there are so many things to do when you're with your sweetheart, and besides, there are still so many CGs to unlock.

So... today should be a day of indulgence!

As Huang Cao felt the Caprini girl wriggling in his arms, he thought that today, and even tomorrow, would be a wonderful day he would never forget.

After all, this can be considered a family tradition.

Whenever a new person joins, there is often a day or two to be alone with.

During this time, they can freely express themselves without being disturbed by anyone.

This was true for Lamian, Theresia and Kal'tsit, as well as for Shu and Xi.

Therefore, faced with the two sheep's requests, Huang Cao naturally had no reason to refuse.

At this moment, Kazimierz.

Lan had just gotten up in the morning and arrived at the competition venue when she suddenly felt a heaviness in her head.

At the same time, I felt very unhappy, as if someone had cheated on me.

That shouldn't be the case. That guy already has a wife; even if he were to be cheated on, it wouldn't happen to him.

It's like something has taken over my niche, and I feel really annoyed.

Even when filling out the form to participate in the Kazimierz Knight Championship, he unconsciously put in a bit more effort.

I'm very angry, but I just don't know why I'm angry.

"Madam, are you alright?"

The tournament staff looked at the table, which had been cracked by the weight of the hands, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Where did this ruthless woman come from?

Aren't the people of Leithanian supposed to be bad at using force? How come the other person is so strong?

"Sorry, I accidentally thought of something unpleasant. This is my form."

After filling out the form, Lan quickly received her competition badge under the guidance of the staff.

Sitting in the waiting hall, Ms. Lan, who had not yet become Black Knight, touched her pocket.

Very good, there are only a few gold coins left.

Training in martial arts is very expensive; you have to make sure you get proper nutrition every day, otherwise it's basically a waste of time.

Forcing yourself to train when you're not getting enough to eat is just mortgaging your future potential.

So it was you all along.

Lan took out a photo from the inside pocket of her clothes; it was a group photo of Master Huang and them.

Shortly after leaving Leithanian, Lan, who was struggling to survive in the wilderness, saw news about the person she had been longing for in some place.

The supreme ruler of Utopia, a despairing chasm of status.

But that doesn't mean we have to admit defeat!

Since leaving that man, Lan vowed to live as a legend of the nation and make him aware of her existence through force.

Putting aside whether I love him or not, I just need to be a light so that he notices me.

Besides, Ines is also working hard in Columbia, and I can't let her outdo me.

Soon, as the sounds of martial arts matches rose and fell on the arena, Lan's name quickly appeared on the preliminary selection screen hanging in the center of the wall.

"It's time to go on stage."

Lan silently began a countdown in her mind, and when the time was almost up, she stepped onto the competition field with firm steps.

Then, with a single strike, he defeated a knight equipped with various high-tech gadgets.

At the same time, she was announcing the official start of her conquest of the country.

Cheers erupted from the stadium.

Because such a violent display method was unprecedented, it had no entertainment value whatsoever, and it was just a single moment.

Driven by Utopia's deliberate efforts, the capitalization of the Kazimierz Tournament has become far more extensive than in the original storyline.

These viewers were already tired of flashy and bizarre battles, so this novel fighting style was truly refreshing for many.

Soon after, Lan secured her first victory and countless subsequent wins, and her name began to appear on the screen in Kazimierz.

The Leithanian who cannot use magic—what an amazing phrase.

Lan's childhood was so tragic because she was abandoned by her parents and discriminated against by those around her because she didn't know magic.

Now she no longer needs magic.

The battle continues, an endless battle, until that man hears his name again.

Chapter 511: Saria: How to save your best friend from playing with fire?

Meanwhile, in faraway Columbia.

An investment promotion conference is in full swing, Ines, dressed in security uniform, is protecting the safety of the venue like a guardian.

The high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen around her all looked at her with reassurance.

"Shadow Sentinel Security Company, committed to absolute safety, safeguards your life."

Shadow Sentinel Security Company is a security company that Ines founded in Columbia on her own after leaving Master Huang, while also working part-time as a headhunter.

Today, it is one of the best security companies in Columbia, and its strength is in no way inferior to Black Steel International.

However, due to limited manpower, Ines only accepts large orders.

Basically, it's a case of not making a sale for three years, but then making enough to live off for three years.

Why do Columbia capitalists trust Shadow Sentinels so much? Because of their absolute professionalism and the company's extremely tough operating style.

Unlike other security companies that prioritize the employer's wishes and can't be stopped when the employer makes a fuss, Ines's Shadow Sentinels are capable of actually attacking their employers.

When signing the security contract, Ines's company would clearly state:

During the security period, everything must be done according to the instructions of the staff, and only the living and those who are nearly intact are guaranteed.

This means that if the employer tries to deviate from the plan, Shadow Sentinel personnel will knock the employer unconscious.

Absolutely safe, and I won't listen to any of the employer's nonsense.

Logically speaking, such a business philosophy should not be accepted by the free-spirited Columbia.

However, in this region, the commercial dominance and competition among various capitalist aristocrats never ceased, and assassinations were commonplace, especially since the second generation were generally clueless.

This has led some older members of capitalist families to be very uneasy about their descendants.

Black Steel International, however, often prioritizes the actual experience of its employers, and therefore strives to meet the needs of its protected personnel as much as possible.

Because the second generation are the ones who will take over the family business in the future, if they are offended, their own companies will not fare well in the future.

When there are too many unforeseen events, the mission is prone to unexpected problems, making mission failure inevitable.

Because people are still people, not perfectly precise machines, a moment of carelessness can easily lead to mission failure.

Ines' security company filled a gap in this field.

After all, she was only trying to make a quick buck and didn't think about the future at all. Anyway, Columbia would be replaced by Utopia sooner or later, and she was doing this to gather intelligence for that person.

Like Lan, who is still fighting in Kazimierz, Ines also quickly learned the identity of the person she cared about after leaving Master Huang and arriving in Columbia.

And they immediately decided to do something to contribute to some of the cause of utopia.

As a serious security guard, Ines learned about many dark aspects of Columbia politics and business.

In contrast, the utopian-controlled areas in the south seemed like a beacon of light for the country.

So let's destroy it as soon as possible, end it sooner, and be free sooner.

However, before that, it's best to do your job well and spare some people's lives for now; it's not too late to kill them later.

Because of Ines's highly advanced security technology, unexpected incidents are extremely rare.

Therefore, since its inception, Shadow Sentinel's mission success rate has been 100%.

Despite its generally poor reputation in the industry, this does not prevent some established capitalists from choosing Shadow Sentinel Security Company.

For these old guys, life is more precious than freedom.

"Ms. Ines, may I ask you something?"

Just as Ines was intently watching everything that was happening on the field, a woman named Wyvern, dressed in a neutral-colored dress, walked over and handed her her business card.

"Rhine Lab, Head of Defense Department, Saria... May I ask what brings you here?"

Saria and Kristen also emerged from the economic downturn of the Great Depression, albeit with some setbacks, but fortunately they possessed enough wisdom.

And among countless paths, they chose to cooperate with Utopia.

The effects of the Great Depression continue, and this area now forms the border between North and South Columbia.

Utopia's territory is in southern Columbia, where it has now fully recovered from the Great Depression. Northern Columbia is still in the process of recovery, but it has also largely recovered.

However, on the surface, the legitimate government of this country still belongs to Columbia in the north, although the current president has lost control over the south.

It is precisely for this reason that Mobile City can still move between the north and south, but basically no one dares to do so.

Because of its proximity to heaven, this Mobile City, situated at the border between the two sides, naturally became an important channel for economic exchange.

Ines's company is located in the north, since the area managed by Utopia isn't as dangerous, and the economy in the north is doing well.

It is well known that capitalists only unite in rare ways when faced with danger.

If we go back a century from the Terra Calendar, Utopia could still be a possibility, but now it's practically obsolete.

I'm going to hang all of you vampires from the streetlights, and besides, do you think you can beat me?

Therefore, the Columbia president has completed the first step in unifying power.

If it weren't for Master Huang's high moral standards and unwillingness to let many innocent people be ensnared by these vampires, this land would probably have been unified long ago.

What Huang Cao is currently doing can be summarized simply as: rescuing hostages who have been taken hostage.

"As you just learned about my identity, Rhine Lab is just a small company in the south. But accidents always happen during experiments, and the Defense Section exists precisely to make these accidents controllable."

"Therefore, as the head of Rhine Lab's Head of Defense Department, I would like to ask you, my senior, for advice on how to effectively manage the company's security."

Saria asked very politely, though to outsiders she still appeared cold and aloof.

Ines didn't say anything, but simply asked the woman to wait there.

She returned to Saria's side only after she had finished inspecting the venue.

"This is what I'm going to teach you: everything must proceed according to plan, and any factor that deviates from the plan must be eliminated. Even when I'm chatting with you, I must first complete my own plan, otherwise, no one knows when an accident might happen."

Does everything have to be done according to the rules?
