We Make the Plans, but Heaven Decides the Outcome

I can't stand watching this at all...

The girl turned to look at her savior, only to see her making faces at the burly men chasing her.

"Thank you..." Just then, someone else caught up with them. The girl didn't dare linger and thanked them before disappearing into a nearby alley.

After skillfully navigating several streets, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief upon entering the slums.

It's hard to say what will happen outside, but the slum is my home, and no one can catch up with me here.

Moreover, in order to shake off those few people, she deliberately took a long detour. If she hadn't almost been tricked, she would have come back long ago.

"You live around here, right?"

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice appeared in my ear.

But instead of making her happy, this caused her to break out in a cold sweat in the freezing cold.

Looking up in the direction of the sound, he saw the person who had just saved his life squatting on the roof of a small house, holding a gourd of wine and looking at him with great satisfaction.

"I've already thanked you..."

After saying that, the girl disappeared back into the slums, vanishing into the chaotic passageways.

"Sigh, this guy is too wary. I'm your savior, and I'm not bad-looking either. I wouldn't say I'm repaying your kindness with my body, but I should at least say that I have no way to repay your great kindness. Don't you agree, Little Rope?"

Seeing the other person slip away, Suika decided against chasing after them, even though she could have.

After all, this is their first meeting, and being too enthusiastic might scare the other person away.

She never expected that her casual stroll would lead her to encounter Rope.

But thinking about it, it's quite normal, since the section of road I was walking on was right at the border between slums and working-class neighborhoods.

However, she didn't expect that Rope would go out to "work" so early in the morning.

She had assumed that someone like him would choose to make his move in a crowded night market after dinner.

Later, when I talked to Rope this, he said that the night market did seem like a good place to strike, but in reality, there were a lot of cops there.

There were also quite a few plainclothes officers.

The chances of getting caught are higher if you go to a night market.

Moreover, it was winter, and it was so cold at night that many people preferred to stay at home rather than go out, resulting in the night market having virtually no good targets.

Those who deliberately flaunt their wealth are basically bait used by the Guard Department to lure people in.

Therefore, the morning market is actually the best opportunity to take action.

There are more people at this time than at the night market, and many people will be showing their wallets while eating breakfast, which gives her more options.

After watching Rope leave, Suika left the slums to continue her stroll.

"Hey Amiya and Rosmontis, you two are out playing again!"

Upon arriving at a shopping mall, they saw the Rhodes Island group walking towards them.

"Suika..."

I didn't expect to see you here. Are you here to buy something too?

Amiya asked in surprise.

"No, no, I just came out for a stroll. Looks like you've had a good haul. Need me to lend a hand?"

Looking at the shopping bags they were carrying, Suika asked with a smile.

Seeing Suika's outstretched hand, Rosmontis tilted her head and then looked at Amiya.

"Wouldn't it be bad to take up your time?"

Amiya was a little embarrassed.

"Since we're just killing time anyway, let's go!"

Suika took the shopping bag from Rosmontis, then pinched the other's soft, bouncy cheek with her free hand before walking contentedly to Huang's side.

"You seem to be eating well lately; you've got a little belly!"

Suika poked the other person's lower abdomen.

"What!" Huang exclaimed in surprise, then looked down at his eight-pack abs in disbelief.

"Suika is lying to you. With Huang's high level of exercise every day, how could you possibly gain weight?"

Amiya, seeing that Huang looked like the sky was falling, quickly tried to comfort her.

"No, I've been a bit lazy these past few days. I'll double my exercise routine when I get home today."

As a girl, especially one who loves wearing sexy clothes and even in winter wears crop tops, Huang absolutely cannot accept anyone saying she's fat.

Seeing Huang channeling his youthful energy and boundless enthusiasm, Suika smiled and raised an eyebrow at the helpless Amiya.

As the group walked along the road, laughing and joking, they were suddenly blocked by dozens of people.

"That's her!"

Just as Huang and his party were looking at the other party with wary expressions, the leader pointed at Suika and said angrily.

Suika raised an eyebrow

Yo~~

Isn't this that old schemer who ambushed Rope before?

I never expected him to have brought a group of people to wait for me here.

"Do you need any help?"

Even though the other party wasn't targeting her, Amiya still stood next to Suika and asked softly.

"No need, these few people are just enough for me to stretch my muscles."

Suika walked over with an unfriendly smile.

A minute later, the other person was lying in various positions on different parts of the street.

If you didn't witness it with your own eyes, you would think that someone was putting on performance art in the street again.

The leader Suika, simply stuffed it into the trash can.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

The fight attracted a crowd of Lungmen residents, who quickly surrounded the area, naturally drawing the attention of the Guard Department.

A passage was cleared through the crowd, and several members of the Guard Department walked in from outside.

Seeing the people lying haphazardly on the ground, and then seeing Suika and the Rhodes Island group not far away, the leader of the group wore a helpless expression.

Chapter 431 Man proposes, God disposes

Suika winked at the person who came, then pointed to the Rhodes Island group behind her.

Before she could even speak, she saw the leader squeeze out of the garbage heap and then fall to the ground in front of the newcomer.

"Sir, you must stand up for me!"

This guy colluded with thieves to steal my money and injure my men. After I discovered it, he openly used violence in public...

He tried to approach, but the Guard Department who came over was clearly disgusted by the smell of garbage on him. As he got closer, the Guard Department officers behind him immediately stepped forward and pinned the man to the ground.

"Sir, you're mistaken."

It was that guy, not me...

After realizing he had been pinned down, the man tried to point at Suika to warn her, but the next second he saw the officer he thought was protecting him approach him and start chatting with him in a familiar manner.

Only then did he realize that he had hit a brick wall.

"What's going on?"

Swire walked over to Suika and pointed to the person who was being held down on the ground.

"I don't know."

I took my friends from Rhodes Island shopping.

Then they shouted about friendship, and their passion surged.

As you know, I've always been timid. When I encounter enemies, to avoid getting hurt, I have to neutralize them all first.

See for yourself, I've already stopped.

When Suika saw that the person who came was Swire, she remained very calm.

Just kidding, the referees are all my people, and everyone saw in full view of them that the other side started it. How could they possibly win?

Sure enough, Swire ignored what the other person said and went straight to her.

Although her speech was incoherent, as long as she understood that the person following behind her was from Rhodes Island, then no matter how much the other party argued, they would not be able to gain any advantage over Swire.

Swire looked at Amiya

"You must be Miss Amiya, right? I've heard Chen mention you before."

"Hello, I'm Amiya, nice to meet you!" Amiya handed the things in her hand to the operator next to her before standing in front of Swire with great politeness.

"Just as Old Chen said, how did someone as polite as you become friends with Suika...?"

"Hey, hey, I'm a good person, why can't I be friends with Amiya?" Suika asked, jumping in when she saw Swire openly criticizing her.

"Oh right, you're a good person... good people don't fight in public."

Swire pointed to the people being arrested by the Guard Department agents not far away.

"You call it a brawl when a dozen or so big men like Great Yan Guan fight me alone?"

"Your understanding of the Great Yan Law is not very good."

Suika rolled her eyes at Swire.

"Otherwise what?" Swire wasn't angry; instead, she looked at her with a smile.

Suika with hands on hips

"I am an international friend. These guys attacked an international friend in public. If word gets out, it will not be good for Lungmen's reputation."

"Or, how about we sentence them to the crime of 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble'?"

Swire looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Wait, didn't you already get your Lungmen ID card a long time ago?"

"There's no rule saying that ID cards can't be used flexibly."

Besides, the Great Yan doesn't prohibit dual citizenship. I'm a foreign guest now, so do you think there's a problem?

Although Suika did not have any identity documents from the Eastern Country, Elisa helped her obtain a Victoria identity card when she joined the Catastrophe Messenger in Victoria for convenience.

At this point, she pulled out her ID card and insisted that she was from Victoria, and Swire couldn't do anything about it.

"You bastard, I'm going to tell Hoshiguma when we get back." Swire walked angrily to the person still pinned to the ground, giving him a disgusted look at his filthy clothes.

"Attacked a foreign friend, and one that Lungmen just announced as a partner, you've got some nerve... Come with me to the Guard Department for a good chat!"

After saying that, he ordered his men to take the man to a police car that was not far away.

"Will they be alright?" Amiya asked with some concern as she watched the police car leave.

After all, Rhodes Island is an outsider, and she didn't want to offend the locals so soon after establishing relations with Lungmen, as this would lower Rhodes Island's reputation locally and be detrimental to cooperation.

"It's not a big deal. If they're unlucky, they'll probably be released after a day or two. If they're lucky, they might even be able to go home for dinner."

Although Suika had just shouted fiercely, she knew that there was no sharp conflict or contradiction between them.

After the Guard Department investigates the situation, they will at most give them a reprimand and education.

At most, they'll be detained for a day or two for disturbing public order.

As for the accusation of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble," he's just making things up; he probably won't take it seriously.

"That's good!" Amiya breathed a sigh of relief.

After the farce ended, the group continued shopping, Suika looked at Amiya, her resolve growing stronger.

Like Talulah, Amiya was extremely naive before experiencing any major setbacks (Alina's death and the Battle of Chernobog).
