Raiden Mei

"The Wagyu breeding base cooperating with Schicksal has run into a minor problem recently. They hope we can send someone over to inspect it."

"A breeding base?"

Zhao Bai asked curiously, "Schicksal has business partners that aren't arms dealers?"

"It's a breeding base with an arms manufacturing background."

Chapter 22: Raiden Mei

Theresa said smugly, "A cattle ranch with an arms manufacturing background. Its vast grasslands are natural missile testing grounds."

"Do cows that worry about getting blown up every day really taste better?"

Zhao Bai mused. No wonder the cafeteria's cooking was so bad, yet its beef bowls were indistinguishable from his own. So they were buying cattle raised in missile testing fields.

This was a rare breed.

The cows were constantly worried about being bombed, keeping their muscles tense at all times. Over time, every muscle received a thorough workout.

Fed exclusively on grain, their sliced meat was marbled with overflowing snow-white fat amid vivid red, firm muscle fibers, like stars scattered across the night sky. The meat was firm, while the white fat made it rich and juicy, setting every taste bud dancing.

So that was how it was...

Zhao Bai asked again, "What happened in Australia?"

"Bushfires have been breaking out frequently. Australia also cut firefighting funding for pensions and laid off large numbers of firefighters, leaving them severely understaffed. The fires are about to reach our testing fields, and we urgently need them put out."

Zhao Bai thought it over and asked strangely, "That doesn't sound like much fun. Shouldn't they normally hire a private firefighting team?"

Theresa answered smugly, "This time, the person who wants to carry out the mission with you is Raiden Mei."

"Raiden Mei?"

Wasn't it perfectly normal for the Herrscher of Food to learn how to cook?

What was so strange about that?

Zhao Bai looked at Theresa curiously. She was lowering her head and covering her mouth as she giggled. For a nun, she was truly not dignified enough.

This was a very obvious misunderstanding.

What Mei wanted to learn was not cooking, but swordsmanship.

When Kiana returned from her last mission, she accidentally revealed some details, telling Mei that Zhao Bai possessed peerless swordsmanship and could unleash three thousand slashes with a single breath.

Born into a family of swordsmen, Mei immediately developed an intense interest in Zhao Bai and could not help wanting to seek his guidance.

In short, her hands were itching.

What happened afterward gave Mei a certain mistaken perception of her own position. When she looked at Bronya, she felt the faintest illusion of watching her daughter get married. When she looked at Zhao Bai again, her gaze involuntarily carried a hint of scrutiny.

Seeking guidance and learning were the most reasonable excuses possible.

Theresa said, "This mission is very suitable for you, and it's a commercial assignment. It pays."

"Sounds great."

Zhao Bai readily agreed, entered the food storage room, and took Ice Lotus Sky down from where it hung from the ceiling.
