Ark Simulator, Don't I Have No Physical Body? Chapter 193

Without knocking, she rushed out the window and into the room. Vulpisfoglia made almost no sound, so she saw that Lupo, unaware of Vulpisfoglia arrival, had his eyes closed and looked as if he were praying.

Are you praying for your own death? What are you waiting for?

Su Rui didn't understand why Vulpisfoglia was waiting, and Vulpisfoglia didn't explain either. She simply placed the blade against the man's neck, causing him to tremble instinctively and turn his head shakily to look at her.

"Ms. Vulpisfoglia, I..."

"Nothing to say?"

"No, it's just a matter of getting paid to do a job."

In other words, just as I said, he's just an ordinary person; I've investigated that.

'Hmm... I understand.'

Vulpisfoglia nodded, and after resolving all her current objectives, she left the Venice Family mansion with ease, guided by Su Rui.

Then she saw Lappland waiting there. She hadn't seen Vulpisfoglia come out yet. When she came to the car, Vulpisfoglia gently knocked on Lappland's car. Lappland, who was leaning against the car waiting for her, then turned her head and smiled.

"Something really important seems to have happened just now, don't you think?"

"You knew it from the beginning, didn't you?"

"I investigated the Venice Family's intelligence." Lappland didn't shy away from this matter; on the contrary, she was quite frank about it.

"Isn't it natural for a family to have two people vying for the position of heir?"

"I never intended to choose this position in the first place."

Vulpisfoglia frowned, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat. "Drive."

"Okay, where to? To the hotel. Su Rui is waiting for us there, and you can discuss your plans with him there."

"Oh, actually, there's no need. Su Rui and I can communicate via phone, can't we?" Lappland got into the driver's seat, Vulpisfoglia, raised an eyebrow.

"You know, it's like before, having Su Rui contact me directly via my phone."

"No, you must communicate only if I see you."

Vulpisfoglia was uncompromising. She felt that if Su Rui and Lappland spoke alone, Lappland might take the opportunity to do something, Vulpisfoglia wouldn't allow that to happen.

Lappland shrugged indifferently. "Fine, in that case, I'll go with you."

'Speaking of which, even if we were to communicate electronically, I could involve you.'

'Direct communication is more convenient, and with me here, Lappland wouldn't dare do anything.'

'I think Lappland's personality means that whether you're there or not, it doesn't prevent her from saying things that are unexpected.'

Vulpisfoglia shook her head: 'If someone threatens you with a sword, things will be different.'

As Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia continued their conversation, Lappland drove all the way to the hotel where Su Rui and Suzuran were resting.

'The room is on the top floor, and the view is great, so I chose this location.'

Vulpisfoglia nodded and led Lappland to the top floor, which was an entire suite that required authentication to enter.

However, Su Rui directly operated the equipment and brought Vulpisfoglia and Lappland up.

Volume 7, Chapter 423: I am not for sale.

"Welcome! What would you like to drink? We have black tea if you'd like, red wine and beer if you'd like, but we don't have water if you'd like."

Su Rui leaned back on the living room sofa, playing a game, and greeted Vulpisfoglia and Lappland, who had taken the elevator to the top floor.

"Has he always been like this?" Lappland looked at Vulpisfoglia beside her, feeling somewhat puzzled by Su Rui's rather strange way of greeting her.

"Su Rui only does this occasionally." Vulpisfoglia didn't look at Lappland, but walked past her and sat down next to Su Rui, indicating that Lappland could sit opposite her.

"Yes, I make mistakes occasionally, often occasionally."

Su Rui shrugged and pushed a can of black tea in front of Lappland:

"We only have black tea. If you want something else, you can get it yourself."

Vulpisfoglia glanced around but didn't see Suzuran: 'Where's Suzuran?'

"Don't worry, I won't let her get away." Su Rui said, opening the Scanning Vision again. "Suzuran is reading in her bedroom. She's such a good daughter, so sensible and not causing any trouble..."

"What's wrong?" Vulpisfoglia asked, puzzled by Su Rui's pause, wondering what he was thinking about.

I was probably quite sensible when I was a child.

'Yes, you're great, as expected of Su Rui.'

Vulpisfoglia smiled somewhat helplessly. "Should I say, as expected of you? Even at a time like this, you're thinking about being praised?"

However, this time Su Rui wasn't thinking about praise or anything like that: 'You misunderstood. What I meant was that my obedience when I was little was just forbearance. Now that I'm older, I don't need to listen to some of my family's unreasonable demands.'

'So that's what you're worried about. We wouldn't make any unreasonable or coercive demands on Leader Liu over the past six years.'

Vulpisfoglia smiled and gently nudged Su Rui with her shoulder, "Alright, what do you want to say to Lappland? Hurry up and say it."

Su Rui placed her phone on the table and gently pushed it in front of Lappland, Lappland picked it up.

On Lappland's phone and in Vulpisfoglia's field of vision, the scan of Wolseini, which Su Rui had shown, appeared:

"You all know that New Wolseini is about to be completed, so the families will definitely want to celebrate like this, and then figure out a way to extend their influence into the new city."

As Su Rui spoke, she marked the location of the banquet. "So they planned this banquet, actually to conduct some exchanges of benefits during the banquet. But none of that matters anymore, because there will be a planned explosion that will put the family that seems to have the most advantage in trouble. One of their ministers will be killed in the explosion, and the rest will be decided by force."

As Su Rui spoke, he revealed the plan, though of course, this was not his own plan.

"So what are your plans?" Lappland looked at Su Rui with a half-smile.

"I have no ideas, no plans, and you haven't revealed your purpose yet."

Su Rui shrugged. If it were an ordinary person facing Lappland's expression, they would probably be nervous and want to run away. But now it was Su Rui sitting in front of Lappland, and if they really fought, Lappland would definitely be the one who died.

"Me? Of course I hope the Saluzzo Family becomes stronger so they can take over the new Mobile City."

Lappland gave a standard fake smile, and Su Rui mercilessly exposed her intentions:

"Come on, you never really intended to do anything for the Saluzzo Family, right? If you did, you wouldn't have called me here."

"Then tell me, what should I do?"

"Feeling lost, aren't you?" Su Rui winked at Lappland, who was giving her a forced smile.

"After all, you don't like your family, but you don't really want to destroy them outright, right? Then let the situation become chaotic, see them in a mess, and find something to amuse yourself."

As Su Rui spoke, she marked several figures in Lappland's field of vision:

"Each family has its own power base, and if these people die, their struggle for interests will definitely be affected... But what if all the families had their gloves removed?"

"They'll then break off all pretense and fight for it in a more direct way."

Lappland nodded. "At least it's an interesting idea, I'll give it a try. Also, thanks for the information."

As she spoke, Lappland got up and walked outside, but as she approached the single target, she suddenly heard a gunshot.

An Originium-Etched Bullets flew past her and embedded itself in the wallpaper-covered wall.

"This is the result of our duel; I won."

Su Rui glanced at Lappland, who was staring at her expressionlessly, and gave her a provocative smile:

"So, do you want to fight me again? You were already dead!"

"We'll wait and see. I think there's even bigger chaos in the part of the information you didn't tell me, right?"

Lappland didn't immediately intend to attack Su Rui. Instead, she let out a strange laugh, got into the elevator, turned to look at Su Rui, and mouthed to him:

I'll come back to see you later.

"Goodbye." Su Rui didn't care about Lappland's threat. She couldn't escape Su Rui's Scanning Vision at all. Every move she made was under Su Rui's surveillance. This threat was less of a threat and more like a kitten bristling.

Vulpisfoglia reached out and pinched Su Rui's cheek with a hint of helplessness. "I know you came because of her provocation, but using a gun to directly threaten her life is no joke."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that." Su Rui shrugged. "You know I'm not a fighter. Even with my Scanning Vision, I can't guarantee I won't get hurt at all, so it's better to use my Rapid-Fire Gun."

As Su Rui spoke, she put away the Rapid-Fire Gun she was carrying and walked towards Suzuran's room:

"Speaking of which, you must be tired after dealing with so many people at your mansion in Venice. Would you like something to eat? I can make you something, or would you prefer something simple like a hot pizza?"

"Give me a serving of Su Rui to try."

"I am not food, and this shop will not sell people as ingredients."

Su Rui glanced at Vulpisfoglia, then gently knocked on Lily of the Suzuran's door:

"Little Suzuran, what would you like to eat for lunch?"

"Is it time to make lunch? I'll help."

Suzuran opened the door, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Su Rui: "I like to eat whatever Daddy makes."

It seems that Suzuran prefers to participate in the process rather than choosing the food.

Su Rui reached out and ruffled Suzuran's hair. "Okay, let's do it together then."

Volume 7, Chapter 424: The Bloodstained Banquet

With nothing much to do in the afternoon, after lunch, Suzuran Vulpisfoglia read together. After all, Syracuse was more chaotic than usual and not suitable for going out to play.

Moreover, Vulpisfoglia believed that Syracuse actually had nothing to offer besides its scenery.

The family banquet was scheduled for the afternoon. Suzuran was told by Vulpisfoglia to go read and rest, while she took Su Rui back to the bedroom. On the soft bed, she held the handsome Nine-Tailed Fox boy Su Rui in her arms, with a phone and red wine beside her, watching the scene that Su Rui presented in her vision.

However, Vulpisfoglia chose soft pastries, while Su Rui chose crispy potato chips and cola.

So, while Vulpisfoglia swirled her wine glass, waiting for the chaos she had long anticipated to unfold outside the Banquet Hall in the scene, in this quiet atmosphere, Su Rui was crunching on potato chips and gulping down her cola in her arms.

Vulpisfoglia sighed helplessly, put her arm around Su Rui's shoulder, and felt Su Rui's fluffy tail twitching from time to time, rubbing against her chin, and the soft, big tail she was holding in her arms.

What else could she do? Since Su Rui liked it, she had no objection. It was just eating some of Su Rui's favorite snacks; it wasn't a serious problem.

Putting these unnecessary thoughts aside, Ren Dong began to observe the situation around the banquet hall. Su Rui marked the "big shot" who was being targeted and also told Ren Dong in advance that someone would try to kill him by means of an explosion.

However, Su Rui concealed a lot of information, including the specific execution and the personnel selected.

These are probably meant to help Vulpisfoglia distract herself when she feels bored.

However, since Su Rui had already dragged Vulpisfoglia to watch, it naturally meant that the performance was about to begin.

"Watch out, the explosion is coming soon! With the explosion... huh?"

Just as Su Rui was about to tell Vulpisfoglia what was about to happen, Vulpisfoglia pinched her mouth shut.

'You know that pinching your mouth won't stop me from speaking in your head, right?'

'Of course, there's no need to say it aloud; let's just watch things happen on their own.'

That's what Vulpisfoglia said, and Su Rui nodded indifferently: 'Okay.'

Soon, flames erupted from a car parked at the main entrance of the Banquet Hall. Accompanied by a tremendous roar, the passengers inside were killed instantly by the explosion before they could even scream.

Watching the explosion, Su Rui pondered, "Should I edit this video and show it to Suzuran as a safety education for her?"

"No need, you've already taught her before, there's no need to have Suzuran watch it again."

Vulpisfoglia ruffled Su Rui's big tail and buried her face in Su Rui, but even so, she couldn't stop Vulpisfoglia from seeing the scenes Su Rui displayed in her field of vision.

As the explosion occurred, Su Rui showed the chaotic scene caused by the blast before shifting the perspective to reveal Lappland in view.

With the information provided by Su Rui, Lappland had already infiltrated the Banquet Hall. Or rather, her identity qualified her to enter the Banquet Hall. Once inside, Lappland only needed to disguise herself slightly to make sure no one would mistake her for the killer in the upcoming murder.

Vulpisfoglia watched as Lappland, carrying her twin swords, seemed somewhat unfamiliar with checking each doorplate in the Banquet Hall, and felt a little puzzled.

'I remember, didn't you provide intelligence to Lappland?'

'Of course I provided her with intelligence—I told her everything: what kind of attire each target would wear, when they would appear, and where they would be.'

Su Rui gave Vulpisfoglia a light elbow nudge, somewhat annoyed. "I just didn't give her goggles or headphones; I was planning to let her handle it herself, especially since she provoked me before."

'It's not just these reasons, is it? I think, given your personality, you wouldn't do this unless there were more reasons. Su Rui, you really enjoy the feeling of [driving], don't you? Especially seeing others obey your commands so readily.'

"... You're right, but Lappland's goals are very ambitious. If she can't solve the current problems independently, then I seriously doubt whether she can cooperate with me to achieve our next objectives."

Su Rui paused, carefully observing Vulpisfoglia's reaction, and before she could speak, she suddenly interrupted Vulpisfoglia's spellcasting by continuing to speak:

'Don't worry, Lappland is fully capable of handling these problems. Even if something unexpected happens, she can resolve it with her abilities.'

Vulpisfoglia nodded, not dwelling on the matter with Su Rui any longer, and continued watching Lappland's actions in the video.
