There Are Still More Good People Than Bad / A Chance Encounter with the Comedy Duo

However, their activity range was severely restricted.

"That's probably why, with winter just around the corner and the conditions in Ursus becoming even more harsh, Lungmen is organizing supplies to be transported there!"

After recounting what she knew, Amiya then shared her own perspective.

Suika nodded, agreeing with Amiya's opinion, because she had actually spent a winter in Ursus and knew very well how harsh the living conditions were in Ursus during the winter.

Even under normal circumstances, the Reunion Movement faces a very troublesome and difficult situation every year during the winter, let alone when they were chased by the Ursus army for almost a whole year, making it impossible for them to stop production.

"Amiya, Amiya. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that the Reunion Movement was facing such serious difficulties."

Suika said gratefully to Amiya.

"By the way, speaking of this matter Suika, I must apologize to you first..." Amiya suddenly bowed to Suika.

"Um?"

"When the Reunion Movement members returned, because Rhodes Island couldn't participate, I took it upon myself to send twenty Shanghai Dolls, hoping these dolls could help the Reunion Movement..."

Amiya said somewhat shyly.

In order to maintain its neutrality, Rhodes Island was unable to send operators to participate in the battles between the Ursus Military and the Reunion Movement.

Amiya felt that simply letting them go back would be pointless. Just then, she saw the Shanghai Dolls lying to the side, and after discussing it with Kal'tsit, she gave them twenty to take back to Ursus.

Those from the Reunion Movement who came had witnessed the fighting power of these little doll-like creatures, so they all readily accepted them and were taken to Ursus territory.

After hearing Amiya's words, Suika was not angry at all; instead, she smiled happily.

"Amiya, you are such a little angel. You did the right thing. The Shanghai Dolls can only be used as toys and bodyguards for children if they stay on Rhodes Island."

However, on the Ursus battlefield, they can save many Infected who shouldn't have died.

Then Suika asked about the photo album that had been sent to Rhodes Island when she left Siesta. Amiya said that she had received the photo album a long time ago and that it was currently being kept at the school as extracurricular reading material for the children.

Chapter 278 There are still more good people in the world

After finishing their conversation, Suika ended the call.

She sat on the edge of the bed and began to think.

She combined what she knew about Ursus, Amiya, Hoshiguma's words, and the storyline of Terra that she knew to fill in the gaps.

It seems that after I left, the old mudskipper started causing trouble again under the guise of the New Reunion Movement.

Because he did not disclose the relevant information before leaving, Talulah made a misjudgment in her decision.

They only believed that Eno and Sasha were people who had gone astray, and even tried to pull them out of their hatred.

It was too late when they realized it was impossible to change anything.

At this time, the uprising of the New Reunion Movement attracted the attention of the Ursus authorities, who launched a crackdown on the two Infected organizations with the same name in an attempt to eliminate the unstable factors.

Under normal circumstances, with Eno and Sasha's abilities, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to successfully lead those bloodthirsty mobs through the gaps in the encirclement.

Unfortunately, one of them was a slippery old fox, and the other party had very close ties with the military.

It's possible to manipulate both sides into staging a play, with the New Reunion Movement leaving the problematic elements in the ranks to the military, while the main force safely escapes across the battlefield under the tacit understanding between the two sides.

The remaining people were "tools" given to their superiors by the military to report back to their superiors.

Unexpectedly, the military discovered the activities of Talulah's Reunion Movement and pursued them, leading to a conflict.

Old Mudfish was naturally more than happy about this, and naturally did the right thing by guiding the military's goals toward the Reunion Movement.

This is why the Reunion Movement, which should have been hiding in the shadows, was instead relentlessly pursued by the military, while the New Reunion Movement, which launched attacks and riots, escaped unscathed.

Suika wasn't worried about whether Talulah and the others could escape.

With the lucky card in hand, Suika doesn't believe there's any real danger.

However, just as Amiya said at the end, after being chased for a year, coupled with the chaotic environment caused by the New Reunion Movement, Talulah will face a very difficult winter due to their own lack of production capacity and the difficulty in purchasing enough supplies from outside.

In the past, the Reunion Movement would probably have had to fight it all by themselves, but Wei Yenwu and Chen Hui-chieh have definitely been paying attention to the situation in Ursus and would have noticed this.

They certainly wouldn't stand idly by, which is why news broke that Lungmen was secretly preparing supplies to support Talulah.

In fact, what happened was almost exactly as Suika had guessed. The biggest difference was that it was Chen Ding who decided to support Talulah and went to Wei Yenwu to ask for his help.

Wei Yenwu would probably refuse other matters outright, but given that Chen was helping Talulah, even as the Governor of Lungmen, he shouldn't interfere in other countries' internal affairs, as it could easily provoke international conflict.

But he couldn't bring himself to say it. Finally, seeing her husband in such a predicament, Madam Wen Yue stepped forward and made the decision to secretly fund Talulah and the Reunion Movement she belonged to.

This matter was entrusted to Chen.

For Chen, there weren't many helpers she could confidently find, and Hoshiguma was one of them, which is why Hoshiguma learned of this news.

After figuring out the intricacies of the situation, Suika stopped thinking about it and lay down on the bed. She closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

I woke up the next day feeling refreshed once again.

She was naturally worried about Talulah and the Reunion Movement.

However, worrying is useless. Ursus's predicament lies with the young emperor. The only way for the Reunion Movement to survive is for the young emperor to take action and formally compete for power with the old nobles.

This way, the old aristocrats will shift their attention away.

But the current young emperor is quite patient. He is also waiting for the old nobles to make a mistake on their own. Just like the main storyline that Suika knows, the young emperor is like a tiger that is about to pounce. He will not move at all until the old nobles make a mistake.

After the Chernobog incident, he acted decisively, forcing a grand duke and related nobles to commit suicide as an apology.

Then, he dealt a heavy blow to the Third Army, which served as the stronghold of the nobility, thus creating favorable conditions for consolidating his position.

Therefore, given that she has no intention of returning to Ursus to help, any unnecessary worries are just wishful thinking.

She believed that Talulah and the Reunion Movement cadres could handle these troubles, and all she had to do now was go out, exchange some gold coins, and then find time to go to Little Skullshatterer's shop to try some food from Gensokyo.

After she left Elisa's servant came to tell her that Elisa was busy in the morning and hoped that she would not leave early, and wanted to invite her to lunch.

After thinking about it, Suika agreed. Anyway, there was plenty of time, and she wasn't in a hurry to get going.

After stepping outside, she asked a servant where she could buy a batch of gold coins.

"If you need a small quantity of Victoria gold coins, the bank does have some."

However, if you need a lot of pure gold coins, I suggest going to a gold shop. Although the price will be about one-fifth more expensive than gold coins, the gold content will be much higher.

That person also knew that Suika would be leaving Victoria soon, and that Victoria's gold coins might not be recognized if traded in other countries.

But pure gold coins used for "collection" are different.

This item can be exchanged for and sold at 100% gold price.

What's needed for the Suika is pure gold without any other effects.

After inquiring about prices at the gold shop, Suika calculated her options and ultimately bought thirty gold coins and fifty silver coins, which she then put into her backpack.

Just before she was about to leave, the manager who had just processed her business suddenly blocked her way.

"Miss, please don't panic. Given that you made a large purchase at our store, we have a gift for you. Please come with us to the lounge and have a seat for two minutes."

Her voice was loud, as if she was deliberately speaking to someone.

Suika glanced discreetly outside and spotted several suspicious people sitting not far away, whispering and looking in the direction of the jewelry store.

After entering the room, the manager lowered his voice and said

"There are a few thugs among the guys outside. The way they're looking at you is a bit strange. I'm worried that you might be in danger if you go out alone."

If possible, you'd better call some people over..."

Suika initially thought that this manager was in cahoots with the outsiders and was trying to pull a trick to get both money and gold.

But I never expected that she was actually helping me.

"Aren't you in danger doing this? After all, you work here and can't escape..." Suika looked up at the person in front of her and asked.

Chapter 179 An Accidental Encounter with a Comedy Duo

"Me? I'm fine."

My home isn't far away; this is in the city, so they wouldn't dare cause trouble.

But you're trying to leave the city like this, right? That's probably what they're after."

The manager pointed to Suika's clothes; since they were leaving in the afternoon, Suika had chosen a set of outdoor adventure clothing made by Raythean Industries.

These kinds of clothes are generally not worn in the city because they are too bulky and have poor breathability for safety reasons.

People outside noticed her dressed in clothes that suggested she was about to leave the city and bought a large quantity of gold coins at the gold shop, which sparked their interest.

Normally, unless they're desperate, these thugs wouldn't even consider targeting customers of a jewelry store.

But Suika, being young, wealthy, and heading out of the city, had every advantage that resonated with these petty thugs.

You should know that although these gold and silver coins are nothing to Suika, they represent a family's savings for a year and a half to an ordinary person.

Therefore, it's impossible for these petty thugs, who have no other source of income, not to be envious when faced with a large sum of money that's readily available.

"Uh..." Suika said, indicating that she really wasn't trying to set a trap.

But thinking about it, if I were a petty thug, I probably wouldn't be able to resist such temptation either.

Killing them would be a piece of cake for me.

However, Suika keenly noticed the different emotions the manager displayed when he looked at someone outside.

"Okay, I happen to know someone here..." Suika picked up her phone and contacted Elisa's assistant.

After all, Elisa is a principal with a lot of things to do, and sometimes she may not be able to manage everything, so she gave Suika her assistant's phone number.

Her assistants were Peter and Parker, the two unlucky guys who had been kidnapped earlier.

Although they didn't see Suika after waking up, they learned from Elisa that they were able to return safely thanks to Suika's rescue.

Therefore, upon receiving the message, they indicated they would immediately arrange for someone to provide protection.

Less than twenty minutes later, several large trucks drove up, and the conspicuous BS logo on the trucks made Suika speechless.

It's just asking someone to take me to the lunch spot Elisa mentioned at the school, is it really necessary to hire professionals from Blacksteel International?

What's the difference between this and using a basic attack to bait someone into using a big attack, or using a cannon to kill a mosquito?

When the car door opened, Suika exclaimed "Whoa!" because she recognized someone among the people getting out of the car.

The Blacksteel Comedy Troupe's Fat Fox Franka and the Power Bank Liskarm.

She hadn't expected these two to show up here.

Soon after the group outside exchanged a few words, the only two women came in, while the others spread out outside, centered on the road between the vehicles and shops, to carry out defensive work.

Having witnessed all of this, Suika nodded in admiration, remarking that this was indeed a professional security organization with a high level of expertise.

However... I estimate the cost of this trip won't be low.

The manager turned pale when she saw two fully armed men walk into the jewelry store. Luckily, Suika explained that they were there to pick her up; otherwise, she probably would have pressed the alarm.

After Liskarm and Franka walked in, they saw Suika waving at them, so they went over to her.

When I arrived, I was told to come here to pick someone up. Although they didn't give me a photo, they did give me a general idea of what I was like.

A girl between the ages of fourteen and sixteen with a pair of very exaggerated long horns.

The only person in the entire house who met this condition Suika, who was sitting there, so the two of them weren't worried about having picked the wrong person.

"Hello, Ms. Suika, we are senior security specialists from Blacksteel International. My name is Liskarm, and this is my colleague Franka."

We have been assigned to escort you to Dolly's Food Restaurant in the shopping district. Please confirm.

Liskarm walked up to Suika and said with a serious expression.

"I originally just wanted Elisa to bring two people to fill in... This is a bit too much."

I've heard of Blacksteel International. Aren't you guys always handling big orders? Why are you like this now...?

Suika spread her hands, indicating that this was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Ms. Elisa of Swire has entered into a long-term cooperation project with Blacksteel International. Over the next five years, Blacksteel International will assign a security team to participate in the security work for Ms. Elisa and the Swire Family."

To demonstrate Blacksteel International's sincerity, we will be the first group to undertake security work for six months, after which my colleagues will take over."

Liskarm was surprised that Suika knew Blacksteel International.

Keep in mind that they spend most of their time working in Columbia and Bolívar.

This trip to Victoria was also aimed at making a name for myself.

After all, security companies like Blacksteel International take the high-end route. They investigated the Swire Family and confirmed that the family was quite wealthy and well-known in Victoria before taking on this task.
