Chapter 138
--Who in their right mind would stick their foot out over a pile of corpses? That's not flirting, that's insane.
Lemuen reached out and poked Han Fei's chest, a playful glint in her eyes. "So, my boss, are you happy now?"
"That's Kazdel's Demon Lord, and now he's your employee."
"I am somewhat happy."
Han Fei said calmly, "I'm just an ordinary person, after all. It's inevitable that I'll have a little bit of pride."
"But."
He leaned down and whispered in my ear, "The happiest moment was when you and Texas agreed to be with me."
Volume 1: Chapter 172 A Mysterious Relationship
Actually, this feeling isn't unfamiliar to most people.
Simply put, this is the first time a six-star operator has been released!
Texas, in a sense, was Han Fei's first six-star operator, and also his very first operator.
As for Lemuen, although she wasn't the first six-star...
But her feet are so soft and smooth!
Who could forget that?!
In contrast, Theresa was somewhat more businesslike.
"You're so good at making me happy."
Lemuen's eyes crinkled with delight, and she chuckled, "You're so good with words, I'm almost thinking of giving you a reward."
"There's a reward segment too?"
Han Fei looked at Lemuen with great interest. "What kind of reward? Can I look forward to it?"
Lemuen was pleased with his reaction, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. She poked his chest and said, "You can certainly look forward to it, but not now."
I understand what you mean.
Han Fei nodded knowingly.
The corpses scattered on the ground would be enough to scare anyone to death; there wasn't a shred of atmosphere to speak of.
Not to mention, it smells particularly bad.
No atmosphere matters; just the smell is enough to distract you from all other thoughts.
In this environment, which girl could casually have a heart-to-heart talk?
Thinking about this, Han Fei suddenly realized—what are we still doing here?
The Doctor and the little rabbit had already been moved away, and there was nothing left to search in this place.
Even if we have to wait for Texas and the others to come back, we can wait outside.
So Han Fei said, "Once they're awake, let's go out too. This place smells awful. Let's wait for them to come back in the corridor."
"Just realized that?"
Lemuen chuckled, "Actually, I've been wanting to say this all along: why are we staying here?"
"Mine, I forgot."
Han Fei led Lemuen out directly.
As Han Fei stepped out of the room, he glanced around casually and bumped into Lemuen, who was lurking in a corner not far away, her peeking and craning her neck, her face practically screaming "I'm eavesdropping."
Their eyes met in mid-air, and Lemuen froze.
Immediately, Lemuen scratched her head somewhat awkwardly and said, "Ah, boss, you guys are out."
"Xiao Le."
Lemuen looked at her sister with a hint of reproach, but she wasn't really angry.
At this distance, Lemuen clearly didn't hear anything. If she could really eavesdrop, she wouldn't have missed the two of them coming out.
Lemuen knew her sister all too well, and seeing her like this, she knew she wasn't angry. So she grinned and leaned closer, saying, "I was just curious."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard rhythmic footsteps approaching from not far away. Han Fei glanced to the side and saw that it wasn't Texas or Theresa, but Kal'tsit.
Kal'tsit's arrival immediately silenced Lemuen, her bright eyes fixed on Kal'tsit in preparation for any unforeseen circumstances.
But Kal'tsit didn't even glance at Lemuen, and went straight to Han Fei, saying, "The test results are in."
"You didn't lie."
"There's no way to lie about something like this."
Han Fei calmly met Kal'tsit's gaze and chuckled, "I think the Terra probably don't even know what a human is, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lemuen nodded subconsciously.
If she hadn't come here, she would never have known that there was such a race as humans.
Races like the Sankta and Sarkaz were the races she remembered.
"You have a point."
Kal'tsit nodded, acknowledging this statement. Then, she looked Han Fei up and down and said seriously, "In that case, I invite you to Babel."
"The Babel needs someone like you."
Upon hearing this, Lemuen instinctively looked at Han Fei, while Lemuen instinctively wanted to tell Han Fei to refuse, and at the same time, her gaze towards Kal'tsit became more unfriendly.
What kind of person is this? Who poachs from their own boss?!
She forgot that Han Fei had just poached the leader of the Babel.
Han Fei naturally refused, shaking his head and politely declining, "Thank you for your appreciation, but I cannot Babel. I have my own partners and career here."
Kal'tsit showed no surprise at Han Fei's reaction. Her eyes and expression remained unchanged as she calmly said, "You don't need to rush to reject me."
Han Fei raised an eyebrow and gave Kal'tsit a look that said, "Go on."
Kal'tsit calmly replied, "I know you have your own team and your own career. You don't need to give them up, and I don't need you to give them up either."
"You and your team do not need to Babel stationed at Babel permanently. I will contact you when needed, and in return, you will have access to Babel's medical resources."
At this point, she looked intently at Han Fei and said, "Do you need me to give you time to think about it?"
Han Fei was quite familiar with this method of operation.
In the Rhodes Island era, many operators took on multiple roles.
For example, several people at Penguin Logistics are like that.
Even Lemuen, who later came to the island, did not resign from her job in Laterano.
"Unnecessary."
Han Fei waved his hand and said directly, "I can agree to these conditions."
Seeing Han Fei agree, Kal'tsit, though outwardly calm, inwardly breathed a sigh of relief and extended her hand, saying:
"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
Although Kal'tsit had no idea where Han Fei, this human, came from.
But no matter what, his value will not be low.
Putting aside other things, human blood is currently the key to manufacturing Oripathy inhibitors. The inhibitor for rabbits was originally made from the Doctor's blood.
At this moment, the Doctor was completely dizzy, Kal'tsit planned to send him to Ursus.
Naturally, there was no way to find further material from the Doctor.
Han Fei is clearly a very good choice.
Moreover, he and his team are quite formidable fighters.
Although Kal'tsit didn't witness their battle with the Shroud Reapers, the sight of the corpses scattered around them, while they appeared completely unharmed, was enough to speak volumes.
Certain field tasks can also be assigned to them.
All of this suggests that recruiting this team is definitely not a bad investment.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you."
Han Fei shook hands with Kal'tsit briefly, thinking to himself, "What kind of nonsense is this? They poached the leader of the Babel and are now planning to abduct their logistics engineer."
As a result, he suddenly found himself a Rhodes Island operator.
Good grief, we've come full circle.
"Okay, then I'll contact you if needed."
As she spoke, Kal'tsit handed Han Fei a cell phone, saying, "This is a communicator. You can use it to contact me. I have something to do, so I can't keep you company any longer..."
At this point, she suddenly paused and asked, "Where is Princess Theresa now?"
Han Fei took the phone and saw it was from Xiao Jin. Without hesitation, he accepted it and said:
"His Highness should be in the medical area."
"She shouldn't be running around now."
Kal'tsit frowned, then said, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now."
"It's alright, take care," Han Fei said.
"Um."
Kal'tsit nodded slightly.
She didn't leave under any pretext; she was genuinely busy. At that time, the Babel was, to put it bluntly, a complete mess.
The elite troops were still fiercely attacking Kazdel when their base was raided.
In this situation, with the Chief Commander Doctor. unconscious and Theresa nowhere to be found, she, as one of the actual administrators of the Babel, bore an immense burden.
"Phew, they're finally gone."
After Kal'tsit disappeared, Lemuen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "She seemed so strict; she's completely different from that prince."
"Um."
Lemuen responded with a nod, echoing her sister's sentiments, then looked at Han Fei and asked with concern, "Are we Babel already? Isn't that a bit hasty?"
"Hmm, joining now makes you a veteran, but after a while, you won't be considered a veteran anymore." Han Fei chuckled.
Seeing Han Fei's expression, Lemuen it somewhat amusing, like looking at a mischievous younger brother, and couldn't help but shake her head, saying, "You know that's not what I'm asking."
I understand what you mean.
Han Fei nodded; he certainly knew exactly what Lemuen was asking.
So this time, he put away his joking expression and said seriously, "We are not tied to the Babel. We are still focused on our own mission, while with the Babel, we are more like an outsourced contractor."
Lemuen nodded knowingly. "You mean mercenaries?"
"I guess so," Han Fei said.
Similar relationships are quite common on Rhodes Island; he still remembers that the Penguin Logistics staff basically had this kind of employer-employee relationship.
"Understood."
Lemuen then understood.
"Peace of mind."
Han Fei reached out and patted the two sisters on the shoulder, chuckling, "I didn't kidnap you from Laterano so you'd work for other people."
Lemuen couldn't help but roll her eyes at Han Fei, her expression somewhat knowing—"You know that too?"
Lemuen even more blunt, saying, "I almost thought I was going to change bosses! I don't want to work for strangers."
"I wouldn't do that."
Han Fei said softly, "Our Xiao Le's adventure isn't over yet, how could we let you work for someone else?"
At this moment, Texas and Theresa, who had gone to the Medical Conference Room to register, returned.
The two men were puzzled by Han Fei's words.
Theresa asked, "What happened?"
