After listening, Amiya stared at the screen in deep thought, but soon her ears perked up.

"Those three children! The fighting was so intense not far away, yet they not only didn't run away, they weren't even affected... This doesn't make sense!"

outcast nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right. Logos and that lady deliberately avoided that direction when they fought. And you can see that Logos didn't use any lethal spells the whole time. He just kept controlling and compressing the opponent's space to move."

As for that child, I could sense a powerful force within her that wasn't being released. So, although it looked intense, for these two, it was just a friendly greeting between good friends.

On the battlefield, countless Little Suika, like little bees, filled the sky, searching everywhere, determined to catch the bastard who had launched the sneak attack.

Suika sensed something was wrong the instant the two sides clashed.

After all, this place is too close to Rhodes Island. Even if other forces wanted to ambush them, they shouldn't have chosen this place, a place where Rhodes Island could provide support at any time.

Therefore, the person who arrives must be from Rhodes Island.

Within Rhodes Island, there is only one person with whom he has a grudge, and whose magical skills are among the best— Li Gousheng, the next ruler of the Banshee Court.

After realizing this, Suika was no longer in a hurry.

She could guess why he would cause her trouble, and witnessing the skills of Rhodes Island's magic masters would also help her understand her own magical abilities. So she fought him with great interest.

But after a brief exchange, Logos disappeared, and the clone searched for a long time but still couldn't find its location.

At any other time and place, she might have assumed the other party had already evacuated, but this was outside Rhodes Island; where could he possibly have gone?

Therefore, Suika was certain that the guy was still nearby.

She wasn't worried about where the other party was; she had her own methods and confidence. She could force Li Gousheng out with just a little trickery.

A photo appeared in Little Suika's hand, and then she shouted...

"Li Gousheng, you dare to ambush me? Come out here if you dare!"

Don't hide around silently, I know you're here!

If you continue to hide, I guarantee a copy of this photo will appear on every corner of Rhodes Island.

After seeing the contents of the photo clearly, Logos's face turned ashen.

I can't believe this guy is so unethical. Not only did he scribble all over his face, but he also took pictures of it...

If this gets out, ACE and the others will probably laugh themselves to death.

This incident may become a stain on his reputation and a source of ridicule for the rest of his life.

He absolutely would not allow that!

"The photo is flying over!" Logos reached out, but Little Suika held on tightly. Although his magic had been enhanced through Words of Power, it was still no match for the opponent's monstrous strength.

His actions also revealed his location.

The three of Leite looked behind them in surprise. A man of such beauty that even Whitemane was ashamed of himself was standing behind them. Incantations appeared around him, making him look sacred and beautiful.

"Hahaha, Gousheng, you've finally shown up! Take this punch from Lao Cui!"

As Logos appeared behind the three little ones, a Little Suika over and pounced on Logos' head like Facehugger.

logos reached out and grabbed her

"Give me back the photos, and swear you won't spread them, then we'll call it even!"

"Oh, so you wanted the photos. You should have told me sooner! How would I have known if you hadn't told me? And how would I have returned the photos if I hadn't known..."

The Little Suika gathered around Logos, chattering amongst themselves.

"Let Suika herself speak..." Logos felt a headache coming on from the chattering around him.

"I am Suika."

"I am also Suika."

"Yes, yes, we are all Suika... Watermelon, Watermelon, Suika, Suika..." As they spoke, the Little Suika started dancing around Logos again.

Chapter 143 Gousheng, Go Sit in the Kid's Seat

The vein on the logos' forehead twitched slightly.

Even though he had experienced all sorts of dangers and hardships, this was the first time he had encountered such a pure "mental attack" from Suika.

"If you don't come out, I'm taking these three little ones away!"

Hearing his words, the Little Suika weren't angry at all; instead, they burst into laughter.

"Li Gousheng, you big idiot!"

The three of them were already going to Rhodes Island, what good will it do to threaten me with this...?

"Then I'm leaving..."

The logos pretended to leave, and only then did the Little Suika stop their commotion.

"You rascal, you can't take a joke! Hmph, didn't you want to see the real thing? Just you wait!"

After he finished speaking, the Little Suika ran to the back of him and began to form a human pyramid, chanting as they went.

"I'll form the head."

"Hey, this spot is mine, don't try to take it!"

"First come, first served! I've got my spot at Oppai!"

"What will I do after you all take all the spots... Never mind, is anyone going to team up with me? Let's form a group!"

Amidst the commotion, the Little Suika quickly formed a ten-meter-tall human figure with its hands raised. Then, with a "PONG," all the Little Suika disappeared, leaving only a ten-meter-tall giant Suika behind.

"Hiss~" Then, accompanied by a hissing sound, the large Suika began to shrink rapidly, eventually returning to its original size.

"Gousheng, how was my move!" After transforming back, Suika raised an eyebrow triumphantly at Logos.

Although he didn't know what "Gousheng" meant, Logos, who was skilled in language magic, instinctively felt that it was definitely not a good word.

"Logos, please call me by my full name."

Therefore, Logos promptly reminded Suika.

Seeing Logos's high-class demeanor and handsome appearance, the three boys who were initially wary of his appearance were almost becoming his fans. Suika said, "I've managed to get three fans over all these years, and you're already trying to fool them away with just one appearance. This is intolerable!"

But since the fight is already over, how can we let Logos' image be damaged?

Suika's eyes darted around; the solution lay within herself.

Seeing Suika grin at him, Logos felt a chill run down his spine; his sixth sense told him to leave immediately.

But before he could make a move, he saw Suika take the Ibuki Gourd from her waist...

Amiya paused for a moment as she watched the two people sitting on the floor, toasting each other with two glasses, on the surveillance footage.

What is that?

"I don't know, but judging from their actions, I think it's a bar..." Outcast rubbed her temples. She hadn't expected that such a reliable operator as Logos would be drinking with someone in public.

This kind of behavior, which sets a bad example, will probably require him to undergo some training on the bridge.

"Gulp..." A sound of swallowing came from the side. Outcast glanced over and saw that it was ACE. He was staring intently at the two people on the monitor who were drinking one glass after another, with a glistening liquid dripping from the corner of their mouths.

She sighed and turned her gaze back to Amiya.

"Amiya, after watching what happened between the two just now, what are your thoughts on the woman who was leading the fight?"

"Very strong... This is the first time I've seen someone fight Logos so evenly..." Amiya said seriously.

Although Logos is young, in terms of magical talent, they are arguably among the strongest in Rhodes Island.

Currently, there are very few operators on Rhodes Island who can confidently say they can defeat Logos.

He thus became the benchmark for evaluating combat skills within Rhodes Island.

There are no weaklings who can compete with Logos and hold their own.

"Is he strong? What do you think, Ace?" Outcast patted Ace on the shoulder, bringing him back to his senses.

ACE said, "Outcast, you've misjudged her. This girl's abilities are beyond your imagination... I think Logos is probably caught off guard now."

"Hmm..." Outcast paused for a moment after hearing ACE's words, then looked at the monitor. The two people inside were still drinking from the gourd, one glass after another.

She then realized that what seemed like an ordinary scene was actually the biggest anomaly.

They all knew Logos's personality; he rarely drank, let alone indulged in such heavy drinking.

The two of them were drinking and chatting away, looking quite carefree and unrestrained, but this was definitely not the style of Logos.

Just as Amiya was wondering why ACE said Logos had been infected, she saw Logos drink another glass of wine and then collapse to the ground, causing everyone in the Control Room who had been observing the situation to gasp in surprise.

Just as Amiya was anxiously preparing to send someone over Suika in the scene moved...

After Logos, in a daze, collapsed to the ground, Suika jumped up and then made a disdainful gesture towards Logos, who was lying on the ground vomiting alcohol.

"As expected, she's still a little chubby. She couldn't even handle a few cups. If you can't drink anymore, remember to go to the kids' table next time you're at a banquet, haha..."

After saying this, under the watchful eyes of the three little ones and Rhodes Island, she pulled out a watercolor pen from her backpack amidst everyone's utter shock.

ACE in the Control Room couldn't help but burst out laughing.

To be honest, he was a little nervous and worried when Logos collapsed, but the other party's behavior...

He said this incident could be used to ridicule Logos for at least a year.

Thinking of this, he happily picked up his personal terminal, pointed the camera at the screen, and prepared to record the scene.

After ACE broke the ice, the others also smiled in unison.

After all, this was the first time they had ever seen Logos in such a sorry state.

After doing all this, Suika looked at the three little ones beside her who were completely dumbfounded.

"What are you standing there for? Pack your things! Your stomach's empty from all this drinking. Let's try to get to Rhodes Island for lunch!"

As she spoke, she patted her belly, slung her bag over her shoulder, shook her head at Logos who was still drunk beside her, then swelled up to two meters tall, scooped up Logos and hoisted him onto her shoulder, and continued toward Rhodes Island with the three little ones.

They received an incredibly warm welcome when they arrived at the boarding gate on Rhodes Island.

After hearing that Logos had been force-fed alcohol and passed out in front of everyone Elite Operator on the ship were all curious and came downstairs to see the drunk Logos and the brave man who did such a thing.

Chapter 144 Calling for the Boy to Go Out and Exchange for Fine Wine

Wow, so many people!

Seeing the Elite Operator standing on both sides of the road, curiously looking this way, Leite and his two companions hid behind Suika.

This brought a knowing smile to everyone's faces.

This action shows the trust the three children have in Suika, and also indirectly proves that Suika is not a bad person at heart.

Looking at the operators lining both sides of the road, Suika sighed, noting that several of them had died in the Battle of Chernobog.

Some died on other battlefields.

Although Rhodes Island later recruited many new members, and these new members were quite strong, those who died could never be brought back to life.

ACE stood at the front, reached out and took the logos, then placed them on a chair that had been prepared to the side. Suika also deflated and returned to her original form.

Amiya came out from behind after the two finished their conversation.

"You four are the Ibuki Suika squad from Karaton, right? I'm Amiya, it's nice to meet you."

Suika looked at the still somewhat immature little donkey in front of her, who was still learning how to become a qualified leader and guide, and nodded with a smile.

"It's nice to meet you, Amiya ... These three are little guys that Operators Kugen and Xia Li entrusted me to bring to Rhodes Island for treatment."

These are Leite, Mograine, and Whitemane.

Suika pointed to the three of them and spoke in turn.

"Thank you again, Ms. Ibuki Suika. Operator Xia Li has already contacted the ship and informed us of your situation. Afterwards, Medical Department personnel will take you for physical examinations and preliminary diagnoses."

I hope everyone has a great time on Rhodes Island in the days to come...

Amiya's earnest and formal diplomatic manner was both amusing and endearing, and Suika couldn't resist pinching her cheek amidst everyone's surprised gazes.

"Sorry, Amiya is just too cute... I couldn't resist."

Looking at Amiya, whose face was slightly flushed, Suika scratched her head and said without the slightest embarrassment.

The operators all nodded in agreement. Although the other party's actions were quite unreasonable and offensive, she was right; serious Amiya was indeed very cute.
