"So we're just going to stand here like idiots?" Suika was speechless.

"How about we find a place to stay in a nearby village?" Lin Yuhsia suggested.

After all, there are quite a few small villages around Lungmen.

These villages are located near the Lungmen shipping route, which not only relieves the pressure on Lungmen city, but also serves as meeting places and factory locations for many transactions that are inconvenient to conduct in the city.

"Are you sure you want to run into the village at this time?"

Suika pointed to the time. It was 2:30 in the morning. At this hour, not only people but even livestock would be asleep. Especially going to the village, even if it was nearby, would take about half an hour. So why did those two foolishly come to the foot of Lungmen?

"We can't just stand here and wait like idiots..."

Lin Yuhsia said that she knows people in most of the businesses in the surrounding villages, so it shouldn't be a problem to make do for one night.

"Tsk, I don't believe you didn't have a special way to get in... Never mind, are you afraid of heights?"

Suika pouted.

As the second-generation Rat King and someone Wei Yenwu was grooming, Suika simply didn't believe she couldn't get in.

But since others don't use it, she can't force them.

However, since the main entrance was blocked, she could still think of other methods.

"... What do you want to do?" Lin Yuhsia had a bad feeling.

She did have a way to bring people into the city at night, but she deliberately didn't say so in order to test Suika and see if she had anything she wasn't revealing.

But when Suika asked that question, her instincts told her something was wrong.

Before she could react, she saw Suika snap her fingers.

The next second, the entire car "whooshed" into the air.

She was completely stunned. How did the car fly up like that?

Motorcycles have this function?

What exactly happened?

Just as she was filled with questions, the three-wheeled vehicle had already leaped over the city wall of Lungmen in a beautiful arc, flying in to the astonishment of the guards on the wall.

With a jolt, the three-wheeled vehicle landed smoothly inside Lungmen City.

Lin Yuhsia was completely numb at this moment. She said that even though she was very knowledgeable, she had never heard of such a way of entering the city.

When the car fell, she didn't even realize she needed to use Originium Arts to reduce the impact of the fall.

The Suika were used for pick-up and drop-off, and when they were outside, the Little Suika were used to toss the car in.

After entering the city, Little Suika caught the falling vehicle.

Otherwise, while that incident might not have resulted in a fatal accident, the car would certainly have been destroyed.

"Is this also one of your Originium Arts?"

Lin Yuhsia stared wide-eyed at Suika, even though Terra's Originium Arts were never limited to a single type.

But at least there is some connection.

But if you count all the spells Suika used today, from creating fog to superhuman strength, you can't see any connection between them at all.

"When you're out and about, you always need to know a few tricks up your sleeve. Otherwise, if you encounter something like what just happened, it would be really embarrassing if you were helpless."

Suika said, "Since you want me to show off my skills, I won't hold back. But I won't admit to any mistakes I might make."

Just then, a squad of city defense soldiers nervously surrounded them.

Although Lungmen is not a military fortress, its city walls are quite high.

Aside from helicopters, they had never imagined that anyone could fly in from above the city walls.

Fortunately, Lin Yuhsia was quite famous in Lungmen, and some people in the city's defense forces recognized her.

So after the two were asked to get out of the car, they didn't end up being imprisoned as Suika had hoped, but were instead taken to an office.

Lin Yuhsia sprawled out on the sofa in the office.

He hadn't even realized it yet, but now, all she wanted to do was beat up her past self from half an hour ago.

I just regret it, I regret it so much.

Had she known that Suika's method of entering the city would be so unreasonable, she would never have chosen to test her.

This test did reveal the truth, but it also led to his own demise.

Without even thinking, she knew this matter would definitely be brought before Wei Yenwu and her own father.

The crucial point is that someone just called out his name.

I imagine that soon the news of me riding my flying motorcycle into the city will spread to every corner of Lungmen.

She is now contemplating whether to leave her hometown and start over, or to eliminate all those who know the truth.

"Don't panic, panicking won't help. We completed the mission so perfectly, Wei Yenwu wouldn't just abandon us after we've served our purpose!"

Suika's words did not bring Lin Yuhsia any comfort; instead, they made her feel even more melancholy.

Chapter 388 The Tiger of Lungmen

A moment later, the office door opened.

Upon seeing the person walk in, both Suika and Lin Yuhsia showed expressions of surprise.

"What's wrong?

Do you really want Governor Wei to come and pick you up?

However, making such a big fuss isn't like you..."

The person who came in smiled at Lin Yuhsia after seeing the two of them.

"No, I've considered Wei Yenwu, Madam Wen Yue, the Rat King, or Old Chen come to pick us up..."

But how could it be you, Beatrix?

Suika approached the tiger cub and curiously examined it.

Swire reached out and gently flicked Suika's forehead, then looked at Lin Yuhsia.

After her initial surprise, Lin Yuhsia finally understood the reason.

If I am the successor to the position of Rat King, then it seems that I am the successor to the position of Chairman of the Lungmen Commercial Union.

Looking at it this way, it's not surprising that Wei Yenwu would arrange for her to come.

After all, just like the older generation, the younger generation will inevitably need to interact. If they can't spark any chemistry, the person above will probably cut their losses and choose to replace them sooner rather than later.

"You should be secretly happy. Luckily, I happened to be resting nearby today, and it's only a ten-minute walk from here."

Normally, I wouldn't get back until daytime.

After all, lack of sleep is a woman's greatest enemy.

After Swire finished speaking, he walked towards the door.

Are you planning to sleep here?

Upon hearing her words, the two quickly stood up.

Although this isn't the Guard Department, who would want to spend the night in a place like this?

After all, both of them were the type of people who clashed with the police.

As she stepped out the door, Swire yawned.

"Although I don't know how the two of you got together, and even managed to make such a fuss that Governor Wei personally called me to come pick you up."

However, next time, if you want to cause trouble, do it during the day. It's very difficult to find someone to pull strings at night.

"Didn't Governor Wei send you? What kind of relationship do you have?" Suika looked at Swire with a look that said, "You're just kidding me again."

"The governor only sent me to bail you out, he didn't give any explanation to this side..."

At this Swire glanced at Suika and Lin Yuhsia.

"You guys didn't go off to do anything bad, did you?"

Suika waved her hand.

"How could that be? Look at me, I'm just an innocent and cute Oni, I would never do anything naughty!" Suika said in a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent.

Swire her a suspicious look, then glanced at the cold-faced little mouse girl standing not far away with her hands in her pockets.

"I think I guessed right."

"Now that we're back in Lungmen, let's disperse. I'll report today's events to Governor Wei." After saying this, Lin Yuhsia walked into the darkness.

After confirming that she had left, Swire looked at Suika with a serious expression.

"How did you meet her?"

"What's wrong?"

"Stay away from her, that girl is no good." Swire looked in the direction Lin Yuhsia had left, where the endless darkness seemed to swallow everyone who went in.

"You know I was attacked in the slums before, we can't just sit here and suffer this injustice."

So I wanted to cause trouble for those people.

Fortunately, Governor Wei discovered that these guys had connections with people outside the city, so he asked her to contact me and we went outside the city to deal with those people.

In return, Governor Wei will help me deal with the participants in the city.

See if I'm a really good person.

If it weren't for Lungmen, I would have personally gone into the city and caused a huge scene, killing those guys who wanted to attack me.

After Suika finished speaking Swire widened.

"You haven't made a big fuss yet."

Do you know how many people the Guard Department arrested today?

From the bottom-level thugs to the top...

The Guard Department's prisons are unusually full.

When Swire spoke, he remembered that some of the people arrested seemed to be from his own clan.

At the time, she was puzzled because although her family members were a few idiots, they wouldn't do anything to support a riot.

Looking back now, I think it probably has something to do with me.

After all, those few idiots were ambitious but incompetent. Knowing that Suika had a good relationship with them and had even helped them gain the loyalty of the branch family in Victoria, it was inevitable that they would become unbalanced. So, it wouldn't be surprising if they did something like this if someone egged them on.

Suika had just returned when the other party's actions were quite elaborate, seemingly preparing to eliminate her before she could establish a Suika foothold.

However, it seems that in the end, the person behind the scenes lost more than they gained.

Not only did Suika unharmed, but her own hidden agents in Lungmen were also completely eradicated.

As far as she knew, Wei Yenwu had pulled out no fewer than a hundred spies from various places in a single day.

I wonder how furious the person behind this will be when they find out.

"Let's go, stay at my villa for the night, I'll take you back tomorrow."

Swire reached out and ruffled Suika's hair, then walked over to the car not far away and patted the vehicle.

"Okay!"

Suika's eyes lit up when she saw the cool convertible.

While convertibles can be quite imaginative, that's only true for mortals.

With my head, even an AWM shot would probably only leave a white mark.

"Wow, this car is so cool, and the seats are so soft!"

After climbing into the car, Suika couldn't help but grope around inside the leather interior.

Upon hearing Suika's praise, Swire raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, this car didn't come cheap for me."

Unfortunately, this thing can't venture deep into the wilderness; it can only roam around the city and its vicinity.
