"I told you I was fine. See? Once I showed a little of my strength, they immediately brought me out!"
Inside a moving car, Ashe, sitting in the back, leaned her head against Qilin's shoulder.
She boasted smugly to Qilin beside her.
"Yes, yes, you're the strongest!"
Listening to Ashe's boasting, Qilin, whose shoulder Ashe was leaning on.
Her face flushed with shyness, her eyes filled with helplessness, she lightly placed her hand on Ashe's arm, applying a little force, wanting Ashe to sit up straight. Yet, in her heart, she felt she might as well let Ashe lean on her like this.
She presented a demeanor of wanting to refuse yet welcoming, wanting to be stern yet doting.
While glancing at Rose and Ajie sitting in front, she nodded and praised them.
Ultimately, Qilin gave up on having Ashe sit up. After all, she had been accustomed to Ashe's behavior since childhood.
Meanwhile, Ajie, sitting in the front, seemed not to hear Ashe's boasting.
He just drove quietly, preparing to take them to a casual place suitable for discussion.
Only Rose, after hearing Ashe's boasting, watched Ashe leaning on Qilin's shoulder through the rearview mirror.
Then, regardless of whether Ashe saw it or not, she glared at her for a long time, and her butt shifted unnaturally, as if it still hurt a little.
As for why this happened.
It was because after Ashe displayed a part of her abilities.
Ajie, after some thought, immediately called his superior.
General Dukao, and reported Ashe's situation.
And it happened that during this time, Ashe watched Rose, who was looking down at her from upstairs.
Rose seemed indifferent to Ashe's "display."
Ashe immediately suspected in her heart, No, I'm this strong now?
You, Rose, still think of me as simple-minded, strong in body but weak in brain, all brute force and no brains, a "rotten melon and cracked date (brainless brute)"?
After all, in the original work, the proud Rose viewed others in Xiong Bing Lian this way in the early stages.
Therefore, Ashe immediately decided to help Ge Xiaolun test how high her goddess's martial strength really was, by… ahem… testing her goddess's physical prowess.
After a series of fluid movements, hooking her arm, smiling, and tilting her head.
Rose, provoked by Ashe, after Ashe uttered two simple words, "Let's spar."
Already having a bit of a temper, she immediately climbed out the window and went downstairs.
And had a fistfight spar with Ashe, with no weapons and no rules.
When Ajie finished his call and reacted.
He saw a blushing Rose, covering her butt, glaring fiercely at Ashe.
She looked like she wanted to kill Ashe but couldn't beat her.
Ajie, being perceptive, didn't say much.
He unhesitatingly let the two women come up and get Ashe out of the police station, and brought Qilin into the car at Ashe's request.
Thus, everyone ended up in the current scene.
As for why Ajie didn't speak?
Heh, if he spoke now, didn't he see that Rose was full of anger with nowhere to release it?
Ajie didn't want to have a fistfight spar with Rose too.
His old bones were just waiting to retire and live out his days.
He wasn't young anymore, he couldn't fight.
Finally, after a rather awkward atmosphere.
Ajie found a suitable cafe for the group.
He beckoned them to get out of the car and go inside.
Looking at the cafe in front of her, which was no different from her memory.
If she hadn't been sure she was in Tianhe City.
Ashe would have really suspected that in just over ten minutes, Ajie had brought her back from Tianhe City to Ju Xia City.
And the seating arrangement, looking at Ajie and Rose opposite her.
Then glancing at Qilin, who had proactively moved to a distant seat to avoid suspicion.
Ashe truly felt like she was recreating the opening anime scene of Xiong Bing Lian in reality.
The only difference was that in the anime, Ge Xiaolun was constantly staring lecherously at Rose.
But now, because of the recent "spar."
It was Rose who was constantly glaring fiercely at Ashe.
Ashe couldn't help but sigh, As expected, only the tough guys get more attention from beautiful women.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time with pleasantries."
"I've already reported your situation to my superiors."
"Regarding your joining us, we hope you'll join us completely."
"And we will provide you with the most generous benefits and treatment."
"As for the focus you mentioned, we can give you some priority in terms of treatment and resources."
"However, complete priority is not possible, as we have our own plans."
"Therefore, you can make some other requests."
"As long as they are relatively reasonable and do not violate the law, we can satisfy them for you."
He stated his conditions with utmost seriousness. Unlike Ajie in the anime who tricked Ge Xiaolun, Ajie was very serious in front of Ashe, giving off a very reliable impression.
If she hadn't known his true nature, Ashe might have actually been fooled into joining.
"Actually, I don't have many demands regarding resource prioritization, and the same goes for treatment."
"My main condition for joining is about the authorization."
"I'm a rather free-spirited and undisciplined person. You should have learned this from your investigation into my background."
"So, I can accept your courses and training plans, but I will choose to participate at my discretion."
"During my free time, I will arrange it myself. Of course, I will report my itinerary to you so you know what I'm doing."
"You can also choose to send people to track me, but I believe trust is necessary. Especially in our current situation."
"Don't you agree? As for other requests, what I want is also very simple."
"First, after I return with you, you will definitely conduct corresponding examinations on me. I hope you will bring her along during the examinations."
"Her?"
Following the direction Ashe pointed, Ajie saw Qilin sitting in the distance.
"That's right. We've grown up together since we were kids. Although I can't be completely sure, her senses, like sight and hearing, are clearly beyond ordinary."
"Therefore, I believe she might also be what you call a Super Soldier."
"Can do." Ajie agreed to Ashe's request without hesitation. It wouldn't take much effort to examine one more person.
Moreover, if they discovered another Super Soldier, it would be a gain for them.
After all, they were indeed lacking in combat power right now.
"Second, I want to live with her."
"That's also fine." Ajie nodded even faster, feeling like Ashe's request was as good as not making one.
It was normal for people in a strange environment to want to stay with someone they knew.
Especially since they had grown up together, it was even more...
Wait, who was she referring to?
Realizing that Ashe's finger had changed direction, Ajie followed her gaze and saw Rose standing beside her.
After confirming he wasn't mistaken, Ajie's expression changed in that instant!
