Strong, Yet Excessively Cautious / Jie: Take This Love of Several Decades!
Giving up even the smallest share of benefits would require these insects to hold meetings for ten days to half a month to discuss it.
And when they hear that there is profit to be made, even if it is a tiny profit, they are extremely efficient.
The Siracusa gangs were also in a panic, resorting to desperate measures.
Because domestic Order was crumbling and vendettas were rampant, very few people could die peacefully, and some even defected to the enemy.
For example...
Ingrid, the Vulpisfoglia in the story, is like a nail firmly driven into the center of Siracusa.
This means she currently has no opportunity to travel to the East Country, so based on the current stage of development, her oversized daughter is expected to be born later.
Several years ago, she had already longed to retire from the military and return to her rural hometown.
Resistance.
In the years that Utopia had been based in Siracusa, Ingrid had been thinking about rebelling because the head of the family was utterly inhuman.
Sending her to attack a caravan from Utopia? What's the difference between that and suicide?
I am indeed skilled, but I don't think I can survive against those monstrous warriors.
So in the early years, whenever Ingrid took on a task, she would spend money to buy a lot of utopian goods, then crush them all, take pictures, and hastily hand them in.
But after a while, she couldn't take it anymore; who would be willing to work at their own expense?
So at the very beginning of this year, Ingrid killed the person monitoring him and wrote a pledge of allegiance to the administrators of Utopia.
Then, in the next second, he was honorably hired as a security guard at Utopia.
This move left Madame Sicily completely dumbfounded. Could there really be such a way to whitewash one's image and go public?
Then more assassins started having wicked ideas, but as the saying goes, only the first person to try something new is truly clever, Huang Cao had no sympathy for these assassins.
Ingrid was only made to work for Utopia because of the game, and she wasn't entirely wicked, since Siracusa's environment was supposed to be like that.
However, this doesn't prevent Huang Cao from treating them differently. After all, he also pulled a lot of operators back then, and it's quite interesting to see them again in this world.
In June of this year, a letter of allegiance from a Texas family appeared in the local administrator's mailbox.
The Texas Family was recently wiped out, and Cherlinina Texas, who was almost the sole survivor, came to the Utopia headquarters on her deathbed, offered her allegiance, and accepted direct protection from the staff.
Clearly, due to Master Huang's certain favoritism, she naturally succeeded in obtaining a job.
As everyone knows, where there are gray wolves, there will naturally be white wolves.
After learning that Texas had joined Utopia, Lappland also began to have wicked thoughts.
Besides, she had already contracted Originium Infection at this time. Although her family intended for her to recuperate, how could the crazed woman possibly want to become just a pretty face?
Lappland's father knew what his daughter was thinking, but surprisingly, he let her have her way.
Because if Utopia had actually occupied the entirety of Siracusa, he would not have been able to die peacefully.
If his daughter could truly become part of Utopia, it would be a way to preserve the last vestige of the family bloodline. As for the future, that would be none of his concern.
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence can see the power that Utopia has over Siracusa. If they really wanted to conquer the country, they wouldn't need to play those games with you.
The war that Utopia waged on this land was grand enough and distinctive enough.
Therefore, the entire course of every war is compiled into a book by those with ulterior motives, hoping to find the weaknesses of the country.
Then came a deeper despair, which the intellectuals of Siracusa discovered after witnessing the conquest of Utopia.
The reason Siracusa isn't being annexed today is probably because Utopia wants to find a suitable way to absorb it as quickly as possible, like sucking up noodles.
Or perhaps they're busy with other things and can't be bothered with their own little country.
Madame Sicily did not show any surprise upon learning this conclusion.
After all, small countries don't have many other options, but Siracusa is already deeply entrenched in problems. But should they really give up?
In the evening, Madame Sicily, who had been working overtime and was feeling quite sleepy, returned to her residence.
She stood in front of the mirror, lamenting that she had gotten even more wrinkles.
Before I could even sit down and rest for a while, there was a knock on the door.
Madame Sicily took a deep breath, patted her cheeks, and gracefully opened the door, only to find a very unexpected person there.
The girl in front of me had bloodshot eyes and her hair was a bit unkempt, but she still seemed to be in good spirits.
"Lavinia, what brings you here so late?"
"Your Excellency, Madame Sicily, in the years since I was dismissed, I have thought a lot, and I think I should know how to transform Siracusa from the clutches of Utopia."
Upon hearing this, Madame Sicily immediately became serious and quickly welcomed the girl inside, thoughtfully preparing her a cup of intensely bitter black coffee to refresh her mind.
Madame Sicily: "Tell me, what are your thoughts?"
Lavinia: "It's simple. Join in. Let the pure-hearted young people join, and the rest be pushed into the dustbin of history. That's the only way."
Chapter 637 Clearly Strong, But Overly Cautious
Lavinia's idea was simple: to make a complete cut.
Since Utopia's offensive was unstoppable, Siracusa was completely powerless to resist.
Therefore, it would be better to leverage external forces to forcibly remove the obstacles to Siracusa's development.
During the time Lavinia was dismissed, she also learned a lot about utopian ideas.
Aside from its somewhat domineering style of doing things, this country is basically fine.
Madame Sicily also pursued justice, but the country is currently a product of compromise among various forces, and even she is powerless to change the current situation.
But the biggest variable now is Utopia, a country whose pursuit of justice is extremely domineering.
Because Master Huang knew that it was difficult for people at the bottom to fight for their own interests, he believed that he could take all the responsibility upon himself.
This is certainly good, but it is indeed a bit inhumane. Of course, those who think it's inhumane are the nobles, while the common people at the bottom love this kind of "domineering" love.
"Lady Sicilia, I want to ask, who exactly do you want to protect?"
"I want to protect the people of Siracusa. Although I hate to say it, gangs and assassinations are definitely not the way a country should be."
The Madame Sicily looked utterly dejected. Siracusa should never have existed; it was a region that had separated from Leithanian.
Chaos has always been the dominant theme here, and it hasn't changed since the country's founding.
Lavinia's idea, though naive, is currently the only feasible method.
Utopia doesn't harm good people, but Siracusa is precisely lacking in good people.
Therefore, it would be better to build a new city and preserve the culture and heritage there, at least for the future...
Madame Sicily agreed with Lavinia's suggestion, or rather, she had had this idea before but had never had the opportunity.
"I will try to persuade those families, and at the same time contact Utopia to let them conduct the selection themselves."
This is the safest way. If Madame Sicily and I were to choose for ourselves, we wouldn't be able to take the blame if any problems arose later.
Given the current situation in Siracusa, both felt that Utopia should have already prepared a concrete plan.
They simply didn't see Siracusa as a main course, so they hesitated to take a bite. At this point, those in power needed to be perceptive.
When the host doesn't want to eat the food, as a sign of respect, the food should grow legs and be fed to them on its own, instead of waiting for someone to ask.
The two continued their discussion for a while, writing down all their ideas into a proposal, which Madame Sicily then sent to the Utopia representative in Siracusa.
Friendly reminder: Utopia's current representatives in Siracusa are the Shapeshifter Collective.
Because of Utopia's investment in Kazdel, the Shapeshifter can no longer earn money by fighting ashes.
So she asked Master Huang for a minor official position, a clerical job with virtually no authority. Its only advantage was the ability to provide entertainment, though the salary wasn't high.
Nominally a representative, but in reality, there are many managers; Huang Cao is a little skeptical of this slime's intelligence.
After receiving Madame Sicily's letter, the Shapeshifter glanced at it quickly, tossed it aside, and handed it to the staff member in charge of such matters.
As high-level intelligence agents, the Shapeshifter may not be needed right now, but their combat capabilities are still trustworthy. They can also better monitor the changes in Siracusa and, incidentally, guide public opinion.
Soon, Master Huang, who was far away, received the news and assigned the task of selecting people to the Shapeshifter.
The Shapeshifter took out a phone with a golden leaf logo and said with a smile to Master Huang on the other end of the line, "Master Huang, you really know how to order people around. I haven't even agreed yet."
Huang Cao: "I believe you will agree. After witnessing so many scenes of vendettas in Siracusa, wouldn't it be a nice extra pastime to select a few young people with goodness and kindness in their hearts?"
To be honest, after being severely punished by Utopia, Justice Lavinia did learn to be more flexible.
She must have thought a lot during the time she was dismissed.
"Inform Madame Sicily to appoint Lavinia as the Chief Justice of the new city. I believe she will make the right choice."
After being brutally beaten down by society, the little girl grew into a young woman who, while maintaining her sense of justice, was also courageous enough to make changes.
For most gangsters, this would be a decision that would absolutely result in their execution.
Ursus and Siracusa want to collude? Do you have the right to do so?
Master Huang has far more informants in Ursus than anyone imagines.
After all, the spores in the air are also one of Master Huang's listening eyes. As long as people are still on the earth, the vines spreading from the earth's core are enough to listen to all the information.
I'd like to see which families want to move their assets to Ursus. Do they really think those greedy bears can protect their assets?
Without money, life in Ursus would be a harsh winter.
Siracusa has a fairly pleasant climate; as long as there is food, one can tough out the winter with sheer willpower.
But Ursus is different. Even if you eat your fill every day, frostbite can be fatal without a warm campfire or other source of heat.
This is not something that can be easily overcome.
... one month later.
Holding the hands of his two dragon wives, Huang Cao used the portal constructed by the power of destiny to instantly arrive at the boundary garden of Yan Country.
"Just as I thought."
Upon arriving at the boundary garden, Huang Cao could feel the Seed hanging around its neck radiating intense heat.
It was as if a force was trying to break free and search for something.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be Jie's soul.
But why can't souls speak? Even the Undead Spirit can. Or is the soul some kind of special being?
The Huang Cao didn't want to dwell on the matter too much; it simply used its Power of Abundance to soothe the restless Seed and calm them down.
No rush, let's talk about it after we meet Yi.
Given the gravity of the matter, it's hard to guarantee that there aren't people with ulterior motives plotting in the shadows.
It's better to be safe than sorry. Although Huang Cao was very confident that he was invincible on this planet, what if an enemy came from the sky?
The probability may be small, but it's definitely not zero!
Upon sensing a familiar presence in the garden, Yi instantly teleported to Master Huang's side.
"Please follow me, Sister Shu, Sister Xi, and Master Huang."
Led by Yi, the four of them settled down in an elegant pavilion and briefly analyzed the strange occurrence they had just experienced.
Yi: "Jie's body is right beneath our feet, and there are very powerful Originium Arts protecting her. If we delay, things could change. If all goes well, we'll try to awaken Sister Jie tonight."
Huang Cao opened his mind and carefully searched the entire planet, finding no place he had missed.
So he nodded and agreed with Yi's idea.
Chapter 638 Jie: Accept these decades of love!
Huang Cao said, "I told them this news, and they should arrive in a few minutes."
Yi nodded. "Where are my older brother and the others?"
Huang Cao: "I've already told everyone except your second son. But with so many people leaving at once, some unexpected things are bound to happen, so I only invited a few people who often visit Utopia."
Only a handful of people regularly visit Utopia, and they are all female Sui Beast.
The eldest brother complained to his younger brothers more than once that Master Huang would eventually kidnap all the sisters in their family.
