The Great Feline-Blaze

After thinking for a moment, Suika said.

"This is no problem at all. My family has business partners in Shangshu. I'll have them send some over as soon as possible. It won't take much trouble."

Shangshu is not far from Great Yan, but it's not close either.

For ordinary people, getting an authentic hot pot broth from there would be quite a hassle.

But this kind of trouble was not a problem at all for Swire.

To put it simply, "Money really can buy you anything."

As the powerful figures in Lungmen Business, the Swire Family, though having to follow Wei Yenwu's lead, is still considered second only to him.

Anyone else who wants to do business in Lungmen will inevitably have to go through the Swire Family.

Therefore, their partners are located throughout Terra.

As a major city in the Great Yan, Shangshu naturally had contact with Lungmen, the most luxurious facade of the Great Yan.

As the heir Swire to the family fortune, Swire would naturally not refuse to do anything for them; in fact, he would happily agree.

"That's good, let's have hot pot together sometime..."

Suika realized she hadn't had hot pot in a long time, and her mouth started to water.

"Forget it, I wouldn't dare eat at Shangshu's authentic hot pot..."

Upon hearing Suika's words Swire recalled the outcome of a hot pot meal she had once eaten.

My mouth was so hot I could hardly breathe, my stomach was rumbling, and even my butt was burning...

The little tiger shuddered as it recalled the horrific scene.

Seeing Swire's expression as if she viewed hot pot as a major enemy, Suika didn't insist.

After all, spiciness is more of a sensation of pain than a taste.

Moreover, for people who don't eat spicy food, this thing can cause pain from the top of the mouth all the way down to the bottom.

That feeling must be quite unpleasant.

She stopped insisting.

"Shall I go prepare some ingredients?" Hoshiguma asked Suika.

There's no need to be in such a hurry.

For hot pot, the best cuts are from Tumor Beast and Camel Beast.

And the fresher it is, the better it tastes.

"Once the hot pot is ready, it's best to invite that Director Nian over at the appointed time before we go buy it."

Suika stroked her chin and said.

"Okay then..."

The three fell silent, digesting the secrets that Suika had just shared.

"Aren't any of you three going to work today?"

After glancing at her watch, Suika asked.

"Oh no!" Upon hearing Suika's words, Chen and Hoshiguma quickly ran outside.

"Aren't you going?" Suika asked Swire.

"I'm on vacation!" Swire raised an eyebrow smugly.

"Can you do me a favor?" Suika walked towards the door.

"Where are we going? My sports car can't go outside the city." Swire walked alongside Suika.

"Within the city, right here in the city, at Rhodes Island's headquarters, do you know where it is?"

"Of course I know, get in the car!"

The two exchanged a few words and quickly got into Swire's car and disappeared down the road.

A short while later, the sports car stopped in front of the gates of Rhodes Island.

"Would you like to come in and have a look around?" Suika invited.

"Never mind, my identity is a bit sensitive, it's inappropriate for me to come uninvited and place this here, and it might cause misunderstandings."

There's a newly opened shopping street nearby, I'll go check it out.

Swire shook his head.

She's not some clueless young girl.

That lady from Rhodes Island had met Governor Wei before.

Furthermore, I've heard that Lungmen and Rhodes Island have signed a series of cooperation and assistance agreements.

He has too many identities behind him and is being watched by too many people.

At this time, rashly establishing too much contact with Rhodes Island could bring many negative consequences.

"Okay, I'll go in now. See you next time!"

Suika didn't insist. After saying goodbye, she watched Swire leave before heading towards Rhodes Island's headquarters.

As soon as I arrived at the door, it opened automatically, and I saw ACE waving at me from the doorway.

"Thanks, ACE!"

"Don't be so polite, come in and have a seat."

ACE extended her hand to invite Suika into the courtyard.

The accommodations that Lungmen provided for Rhodes Island were quite large; the rooms alone occupied an entire building.

However, considering that Rhodes Island has more than a hundred people this time, dividing the building up only means it won't be crowded.

There is also a very spacious playground in the courtyard.

While not as large as the deck of Rhodes Island, it's about the size of a football field.

At this moment, the sky Lungmen was clear and sunny, a rare treat for a winter day.

So the operators were scattered around the playground in twos and threes, either exercising or strolling around.

Although it was just this small area, everyone looked very relaxed.

They seem quite satisfied with Lungmen's arrangements.

"Your timing for coming today is both convenient and unconventional," ACE said as the two walked along the edge of the playground.

What do you mean?

"Coincidentally, Dr. Kal'tsit is here too. Unfortunately, Amiya, Doctor, Logos, Rosmontis, Nearl, and some operators with milder infection symptoms have gone shopping."

ACE looked into the building not far away.

"Kal'tsit? She's here too!"

"That's right. Before you arrived, there was another woman who claimed to be from the Great Yan Dali Temple Inspectorate."

Ms. Kal'tsit is receiving her.

Suika raised an eyebrow after hearing this.

It seems that Lin Qingyan listened to my advice.

Looking back, it seems that all the officials of the Great Yan were like this. Unless you could gain their approval in some way or be better than them, they always gave people the feeling of being high and mighty.

But it's not so much arrogance as a natural divide between officials and the people.

For example, when I met Wei Yenwu before, even before I agreed to his conditions, I could clearly sense the stark difference in how Lin Qingyan and Liu He looked at me afterward.

But after agreeing to the conditions, he could be considered a reserve official.

To them, they were considered "one of their own," and their gaze softened considerably.

Chapter 425 The Great Feline - Brilliant

If I hadn't agreed at the time, Lin Qingyan probably wouldn't have come here to avoid suspicion.

Suika didn't go in to disturb them, but followed ACE to the edge of the playground and found a bench to sit down.

"Want a bite?" Suika casually pulled out Ibuki Gourd.

ACE glanced in the direction of the building, swallowed hard, and then firmly shook his head.

"Never mind, it's working hours now, I can't drink alcohol."

ACE spoke in a trembling voice and with a sorrowful heart, saying things he himself didn't believe.

"Come on, Kal'tsit is busy receiving talents and doesn't have time to keep an eye on you. Have a sip to perk yourself up. Just a sip of alcohol will make you feel refreshed and alert, which is actually good for your work."

Seeing his coy, girlish demeanor, Suika couldn't help but shove Ibuki Gourd into his arms.

"Ahem, you all saw it, right? It wasn't that I wanted to drink it, it was Suika who insisted I drink it~~~"

As ACE spoke, he opened his mouth wide and began pouring wine from the gourd into his mouth, ignoring the disdainful looks from the other operators.

After taking a satisfying sip, ACE quickly stuffed the gourd back into Suika's arms.

"Look at you, you coward!" Suika kicked him away with disdain, then lay down on the stool, basking in the sun and drinking her wine.

As for ACE, although he was a bit embarrassed when he was kicked away, considering the sip of fine wine he had just drunk, he wiped his mouth and savored the taste before deciding to forgive Suika this time.

Just as Suika was lying on the stool, drifting off to sleep, she heard a commotion coming from the doorway.

Looking up, I saw Amiya and her group walking in from outside, carrying large bags and small packages, their faces beaming with smiles.

Seeing their smiles, Suika a sense of peace in her heart.

Lungmen is indeed a relatively kind region to those Infected.

Given his dual status as a VIP and a partner, he shouldn't face any difficulties here.

If that were to happen, Suika would probably stand on Wei Yenwu's desk with Lao Chen and give him a good laugh.

"Suika!" Amiya exclaimed with delight as she entered the room and saw Suika waving at her from a short distance away.

"Hello, looks like you had a good delivery."

Seeing that even Amiya was carrying quite a few things, Suika greeted her with a smile.

"Yes, Lungmen truly lives up to its reputation as a vital hub connecting the Great Yan with the outside world. There are many things here that we've wanted to buy but could never find."

In addition to these, a batch of equipment was also ordered.

I need to report to Dr. Kal'tsit in a bit, because it will take some time for the equipment to arrive, and Rhodes Island might have to stop nearby for a while."

Amiya handed the items in her hand to the operator next to her, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and said energetically.

Suika's eyes crinkled after hearing this.

"That's good, you can stay here for a few more days."

Lungmen is relatively friendly to those Infected; at least here, you can still go out shopping without worry, right...?

Suika pointed to the Doctor behind Amiya.

Amiya nodded; she had actually been a little worried before leaving home today.

Even though some places have expressed their willingness to accept Infected, the oppression of Infected has not actually decreased as a result.

It's just that the higher-ups need to do dangerous, backbreaking work that ordinary people are unwilling to do, which is why Infected are attracted to it.

But things are different in Lungmen; Infected can only move within designated areas.

However, the controls are not very strict, and the residents here are not particularly resistant to Infected.

That's why they were able to buy so much stuff.

In areas where there is extreme hostility towards Infected, even if Wei Yenwu's people are watching over you, if someone is unwilling to sell, you can't force them to buy or sell, and you can only leave disappointed.

"Ms. Suika!" The Doctor came over while Suika and Amiya were chatting.

"How have you been these past few days? Have you felt any signs of your memory returning?"

Doctor nodded first, then shook his head.

"This place is great. It feels very relaxing, and there are plenty of supplies. Plus, we eat and sleep well every day."
