Blood Feud / Fishing Master

"Lunch." Oute's expression remained unchanged.

Did they just steal my lunch break by working overtime without a word!?

What kind of heartless company is Rhodes Island!?

"Hahaha..." Cautus seemed to be able to read minds. She explained awkwardly, "The operative currently in charge of Stonepile Village... is a little unaccustomed to life on land. Apart from Doc Otter, everyone she feels comfortable following orders to is currently in the vehicle."

Dyster was a little confused: What does it mean to be unaccustomed to life on land?

Although it's the same road, the part closer to the village is often more dilapidated, until one day it's suddenly repaired.

As the vehicle shook more violently, the passengers heard indistinct sounds.

"I will be back!!!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound, a dark shadow on the horizon rapidly grew larger and crashed to the side of the road.

Another heavy whooshing sound rang out as the bounty hunters were sent flying high into the air by a small figure at the edge of their line of sight, wielding a wild sword.

"Get off."

Dyster almost thought she'd misheard, "Um, Sister! Shouldn't we step on the gas or just turn around in this situation!?"

All four car doors were opened at once, and the Rhodes Island group, as if by prior arrangement, left Dyster all alone in the car.

"Hey..." She gritted her teeth and followed cautiously through the door that Oute had intentionally left open.

Only then did Dyster notice that the person carrying the giant sword... was actually a beautiful young girl with a cold expression.

Chapter 299 Blood Revenge

Her long, white hair, reflecting the sunlight, resembled rolling waves, and its astonishing volume was enough to completely cover the greatswordsman's body as it swayed in the wind.

The coldness and aloofness in her eyes were exactly like that of Doctor. Oute.

Several bounty hunters struggled and collapsed in front of her, while many more had already boarded the giant sword flight, shouting, "I will be back!"

A physically imposing and independent aura emanated from the terrifying giant sword behind her.

But the Rhodes Island group pressed forward without fear.

Dyster was a little dumbfounded. She picked up her briefcase and followed Oute.

She tugged at Oute's sleeve. "Hey! That guy looks really fierce! We're all office workers, we can't beat her!"

Amiya gave an awkward smile, "Miss Skadi... she's just not very good at communicating with other people."

Huh!?

"Doc Otter." Skadi took a step forward and closed her eyes.

"Don't move." Oute said solemnly, trying to gather Skadi's disheveled long hair.

Why is this happening?

"We wanted to clean things up, but the bounty hunters arrived."

Dyster nudged Amiya and asked, "What's her relationship with Doctor. Oute?"

Amiya had already opened her mouth to answer her, but Dyster, oblivious to the situation, blurted out, "Father and daughter? They look alike!"

The little rabbit's cheeks puffed up.

Although she is not satisfied with this position, she absolutely does not want it to be taken away by anyone else.

Dyster muttered again, "No, no, no, although Doctor. Oute has a very mature demeanor, making it easy to overlook his age, he shouldn't be that old... Could it be a couple?"

Not only Amiya, but Kal'tsit's face also darkened.

They're not just ungrateful, they're utterly courting death!

Thank goodness, before Dyster would be "held against" by the two future leaders for her ramblings, Oute brought Skadi over.

After traveling for a while, under the silent gaze of the villagers, a mixture of fear and respect, the group silently arrived at their encampment in Lichuan Village.

Oute, Specter, and Skadi's silence was due to their personalities; Dyster vaguely sensed that she had made a mistake, but Amiya and Kal'tsit...

The free clinic consists of several mobile medical units, tents, and sheds, providing affordable medical treatment to the village to the best of its ability.

Inside one of the "base vehicles".

Oute and Dyster sat on one side, while the infected Kuranta opposite them was the reason they had gone to such lengths to reach Lichuan Village.

"Don't worry about those earlier details, Miss Dyster. Those are just tricks by giant corporations trying to acquire land cheaply."

No, no, no, the problem clearly lies in your complicated romantic relationships, isn't it? You're quite adept at using the trick of shifting the focus!

Speaking of which, judging from the way Kal'tsit looked at him... I shouldn't have said "couple" just now...

Dyster subtly discerned half of it.

"And this is..." She decided to get into work mode quickly.

"Victims of Gail Industries," Kuranta stated of himself. "Just remember that!"

Who are the targets of class action lawsuits?

Having such an arrogant employer is the most troublesome thing...

"You know about the new plot in Tsvonnek, right?" Kuranta said. "To speed up construction, Gail Industries recruited a massive number of damned infected!"

He suddenly remembered something. "No, Doctor. Oute, no! I wasn't talking about you! I just..."

Oute said, "This is a normal reaction. But remember: Gail Industries, which intentionally created this situation, is the culprit behind your infection."

"Doctor. Oute, you're right! It's Gail Industries!" Kuranta, encouraged, continued to tell Dyster, "Those bastards! They're producing it themselves, they could easily have bought the protective equipment at cost price by simply transferring it between their own hands! But they deliberately distributed defective products to us!"

Dyster frowned and made a note of it.

"The replaced Originium engines were just left out in the open! As a result, some Originium hadn't fully reacted, and one infected person was killed by one of them that night!"

With such a crude construction method, it was only a matter of time before something went wrong!

A chain reaction?

But...

"That night? What was the exact time?"

Kuranta suddenly froze, muttering to himself, "It's past midnight, is it late at night or early morning?"

Spoken language often contains many rather vague concepts.

Generally speaking, late night refers to after 10 p. m., while after midnight can be called early morning. However, there is also a "midnight" period that falls between midnight and 2 a. m. the next day.

However, one thing is certain:

Illegal overtime work is occurring in the Gail Industries.

Dyster wrote it down.

Did Gail Industries offer any compensation?

Kuranta was furious. "Compensation!? Those damned vampires! They want to sue us instead!"

"Those beasts said it was our fault! They said the main reason was that we placed the burning material nearby!"

"Have you released them yet?"

"... Let them go."

Okay... this might be attacked, but getting the compensation shouldn't be too difficult.

How many people were victimized?

"There are still about thirty alive."

"Family members can also file a lawsuit."

There are probably seventy or eighty households.

This amount is simply not enough to cripple Gail, and it won't even attract much attention!

"Presumably, Gail's previous construction projects also had similar problems?"

"Definitely! These beasts' faces! It's nothing like the first time!"

"Like? Never seen it in person?"

"... No, I've only heard of it."

These giant corporations have done countless bad things, but if you've only heard about them... then the victims have probably already been dealt with! Most of these companies have signed settlements, at most used as a pretext to persuade judges and juries!

Dyster instinctively reached behind her and rubbed her lower back.

Based on the arrogance and stubbornness of the "expert," Danse (Dyster) seems to have the ambition to bring down Gale through legal means.

Oute made a judgment and moved the thread out.

Stonepile Village.

"Welcome to the Kazimierz Rural Dispute Mediation Association. How can I help you?" The bounty hunter propped his feet up on the table, along with his lunch.

I don't know if he thought the frozen Kazimierz dumplings were too unpalatable.

"Oh? That's Tai He, madam. But then again, this happened a few years ago, right? Why are you only bringing it up now... blood for blood?"

"... Yes, indeed. If Gail Industries' attention is diverted, the probability of them recalling their past victims will be greatly reduced."

"... There's nothing to thank me for, madam. To be honest, it's fate that you were able to get through on this call." Toland gave a flippant smile. "After all, we're not some big organization; nobody's always waiting by the phone."

Chapter 300 Fishing Master

How are you feeling?

Oute walked to Nearl's side.

Inside the city, the towering sculpture is nearing completion. Although it is still surrounded by layers of sheet metal on the left and right of the construction site, the artwork still peeks out.

"The Laika War ended before I was born," Nearl replied.
