Dignity

My injuries haven't healed yet, Kal'tsit gave me a long leave. I also heard about what happened here, and I rushed over because I was worried about the outcast.

"You only found out about your relationship with her from some refugees after you got here."

Huang recounted her experience of coming to Little Hill County.

Fortunately, Suika and Outcast are both highly recognizable by their appearance, and they participated a lot in the rescue, so many people had seen them, which allowed Huang to know the direction they had evacuated.

However, since she learned from Suika that Outcast and the Rhodes Island squad had successfully evacuated, she saw no need to chase after them.

Suddenly losing her goal, she didn't know where to go next.

"How about this, come with me to Siesta. Doctor and Amiya brought a lot of people there to have fun, let's go and join the fun!"

After Suika finished speaking, a glint flashed in Huang's eyes, and he jumped three feet high.

"Great idea, Siesta, I've been wanting to go for ages."

Sunshine, beaches, music, and wine... I'm totally having a blast!

After reaching an agreement, on the way to Siesta, Suika finally had a companion to talk to and drink with.

The two did not enter the town of Little Hill County. By then, the fighting in the town had ended. After losing command and heavy firepower, Victoria's garrison was no match for Deep Pool and withdrew from Little Hill County in disarray.

By this time, the city had become part of Deep Pool's territory.

Knowing that Suika had a previous conflict with the other party, the two of them naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to go into the city.

As the two circled around Little Hill County from the outside, Suika sensed being watched from inside the city. She looked up and saw a pair of long horns that looked exactly like Reed, which made Suika guess the identity of the person.

Eblana, the leader of the Deep Pool.

She was indeed in the city.

"What are you looking at?" Huang's voice came from the side.

Suika shook her head

"Let's go, this guy is hard to describe!"

Eblana reappeared at the window after she left, her face grim.

Just one glance was enough to make her feel as if she were being locked onto by a monstrous beast, which is why she chose to retreat in utter humiliation.

She looked in the direction where Suika had left and thought to herself that next time, she would never back down.

"Chief!" Harmonie, the Green Kitty, knocked on the door and walked in, looking at Eblana with a respectful expression.

Is there anything you need?

Eblana said

"In addition to the previous work, I want you to investigate that pharmaceutical company called Rhodes Island."

Green Kitty nodded. "Yes, Chief, I will arrange for someone to do it."

After the other person left, Eblana looked in the direction where Suika had gone.

"And who exactly are you?"

Meanwhile, Suika and Kira had a very pleasant journey.

Huang herself was a heavy drinker, and if her injuries hadn't been incomplete, she would have loved to get completely drunk.

During their break, the two sat around the fire, drinking cups of wine and recounting various interesting stories they had encountered while traveling.

As the Twin Moons reached their zenith overhead, Huang fell into a contented sleep.

Suika looks towards Shanghai

"I'll leave the night watch to you."

Shanghai nodded, then flew away with a look of disdain, expressing her dissatisfaction that Suika and Huang smelled too strongly of alcohol.

Suika chuckled and said, "Too bad you can't drink, so you wouldn't know. This is a really good thing."

After saying that, he leaned against Huang, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, after waking up, the two continued their journey. In the afternoon, just after crossing a mountain, they saw the Victoria army, fully armed and on high alert, not far away.

Just as Huang was pondering how to get through the army, Suika casually pulled her to the front of the defensive line.

"That's too dangerous, maybe we should take a detour..." Huang shuddered as he looked at the stares coming from all around him.

She considered herself quite daring, but even that wouldn't warrant a direct confrontation with Victoria's army by herself and her two companions.

"Marlon, it's me!" Just then, Suika waved to the army formation, and a gap appeared in the tight line of defense.

"Ah..." Huang was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that Suika would know someone in the Victoria military, and it seemed that she held a rather high position.

After entering the army formation, Suika and Huang were brought to Marlon's side.

"Phew, Ms. Suika, you're finally out... I was so worried about you, I hadn't heard from you for so long."

Upon seeing Suika, Marlon appeared relaxed.

"I've always been very lucky." Responding to Marlon's friendly attitude, Suika naturally returned the favor.

"Ahem, Marlon, I must remind you, these two are from Little Hill County, and they don't appear to have any injuries. I suspect..."

Just then, a flippant male voice suddenly came from the side.

"Doubt my ass!" Suika could even see who it was, Marlon's words were enough to make everyone feel what it meant to "speak one's mind directly and frankly."

Chapter 579 Dignity

The officer was taken aback by Marlon's blatant disrespect, and his face flushed red.

The people around were also watching with expressions of anticipation, as if they were watching a good show.

Marlon walked up to the other person with a gloomy face and grabbed him by the collar.

"Let me tell you, Miss Suika is a friend of the head of the family, the most honored guest of our Swire Clan, and a respectable Catastrophe Messenger. Any further disrespect towards her is an insult to the Swire Clan. According to the Noble Law, I have the right to challenge you to a duel."

After saying that, he glanced disdainfully at the man whose face had turned pale upon hearing his words, then released his grip and walked back to Suika.

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Suika, you must have found this amusing."

Suika smiled.

"It's alright. We came from Little Hill County, and this person doesn't know us. It's normal for him to raise some objections."

"How much do you know about the situation in Little Hill County? I just got back from there and learned quite a bit of inside information, which might be useful to you."

Marlon's eyes lit up when he heard what Suika said.

"This is not the place to talk. Please come with me."

After the group entered a large tent not far away, Marlon looked at the officers around him before speaking.

"We did receive news that things were unstable in Little Hill County. Yesterday, some refugees came from there saying that the Tara people there had rebelled... My scouts haven't received any more information yet."

Suika nodded

"Hmm, this matter is a bit complicated. Are all the people here trustworthy?" Suika glanced around.

"Because the rebellion originated from the Tara people, the Tara generals in the army have been temporarily detained, and these are soldiers from other places," Marlon replied.

Suika rubbed her temples.

"Please don't get excited after I finish speaking..."

Then Suika recounted her experiences in Little Hill County, omitting her experiences on Rhodes Island.

After hearing what Suika said, the officers in the tent all looked on incredulously.

"You mean the garrison in Little Hill County opened fire on the city, forcing the Tara people inside to side with the rebels?"

That's the case as far as I know.

At the time, the rebels and the city's residents were mixed together, and perhaps the garrison leader felt that he couldn't tell them apart, so he simply didn't bother to separate them.

After all, since the rebels and residents were mixed together, he probably thought there were quite a few people in the city who had sided with the rebels.

However, the garrison did not expect that the rebel army was not weak. As a result, their attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and they were not only driven out of Little Hill County, but also caused the residents of the city to completely side with the rebels.

My friend and I hid in the city for several days before finally finding a chance to sneak out.

After Suika finished speaking, Huang glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Although it sounds absurd, those in the room who knew Hamilton's character understood that he was actually capable of doing it.

That guy was an absolute racist who always thought the Tara people were an evil and ignorant race, and people who couldn't be trusted.

That's why he became the leader of the garrison in Little Hill County.

Because those in power wanted to use him to suppress the Tara people and prevent them from rising to power.

"Can we leave now?" Suika pointed outside.

"Of course!" Before Marlon could finish speaking, he saw an officer blocking the doorway.

Suika pouted when she saw this.

"Don't block us. When we came out, we heard that a large number of refugees had already gone to Connor County across the river. I guess the news has spread by now."

Blocking us is completely useless.

Besides, do you think the Tara people of Little Hill County won't make this public? This is a rare opportunity."

Putting herself in their shoes, Suika could understand these officers quite well. Those who were kept here by Marlon were basically his confidants, while the officer from just now didn't even come in.

In this situation, they preferred to ignore Marlon's words and stop the two of them, their meaning was clear.

As soldiers of Victoria, they did not want this scandal within Victoria to be exposed, as it concerned Victoria's dignity.

However, Suika felt that since she had already done it, she might as well try to make amends rather than bury her head in the sand.

And let alone the refugees on the other side, even the people in Deep Pool will try their best to spread this news.

After all, in order to seize the rights of Victoria, in addition to proving their own legitimacy, suppressing other competitors is also a necessary step.

Upon hearing Suika's words, the expressions of the people inside the room became even more unpleasant, but the two blocking the door silently moved away.

"I believe you are all soldiers who are proud of Victoria, so I have already been disappointed once in Little Hill County and do not wish to see it a second time."

After saying that, he and Huang walked out together.

Once outside, Huang patted his chest.

"Whoa, that scared me to death! I thought a fight was going to break out!"

Suika gave her a disdainful look. She had clearly felt that Huang showed no fear whatsoever, but rather seemed eager to try. If she hadn't stopped her, Huang might have actually dared to make a move.

Before the two had even left the military camp, Marlon approached from behind.

"Miss Suika, please wait a moment."

"Is there anything else?" Suika, somewhat puzzled.

Marlon waved, and an SUV pulled up in front of them.

"Miss Suika is going to Siesta, right? From what I understand, the music festival has already started. If you two walk there, the festival will probably be over by now."

"This SUV is on loan to you personally. Once you arrive in Siesta, just let your family there know, and they'll bring it back for me."

Upon hearing Marlon's words, Suika slapped her forehead; she had indeed overlooked this matter.

Even though Huang's physique is among the best in Terra, it's impossible for him to run all the way to Siesta in a short time to catch the music festival.

So the car that Marlon lent them was a huge help.

"Can you drive? If not..."

"I can!" Huang's eyes lit up as he looked at the SUV in front of him.

Suika rubbed her kidneys

Are you sure you will?

"Of course, I studied with ACE," Huang said with certainty.

Seeing her so confident, Marlon told the driver to get out.

Huang sat down in the driver's seat with a happy expression, and swayed his body with great pride.

"I'll ask you one more time, are you sure you can drive?"

Suika always felt that Huang seemed to have a problem, mainly because her behavior didn't seem like that of an experienced driver.
