Little Legion!

Taking out the bank card Swire had given her again, Suika strode inside with an air of nonchalance.

"Miss, what service do you need?" A slender lobby manager approached Suika as she walked in.

Suika took out her bank card and waved it in front of her.

"Give me a quiet room, and arrange for someone to handle some small change for me."

Upon seeing the card in Suika's hand, the lobby manager smiled even more sweetly.

After all, the exclusive VIP cards issued by the Victoria Bank Alliance are not something that ordinary people can possess.

Elisa had previously told Suika that with this card, she could enjoy VIP treatment at any bank in Victoria.

Now it's clear that it was true.

After the lobby manager led Suika to a quiet room, he quickly brought out some beautiful and delicious snacks and drinks.

Just as Suika, a man in his forties walked in carrying a notebook and a card reader.

"Hello, esteemed lady. I am George, a senior business specialist from this bank, here to assist you with your needs."

The man bowed respectfully before Suika before sitting upright opposite Suika.

Suika handed Viscount Scott's bank card and Closure's bank card to the other party.

"First check how much money is in this account, then transfer it all to this card."

The man took the bank card, swiped it on the card reader, and then said...

"There are 150,000 Gold Notes in the card. To transfer funds, please enter your password here..."

"So little?" Suika frowned. 150,000 Gold Notes wasn't a small amount, but for a viscount who owned a mine, it shouldn't be this little.

However, we'll discuss this with Closure later; for now, getting the money out is the most important thing.

But after entering the password, I heard a beeping sound.

"Miss, you entered the wrong password."

The man calmly spoke to Suika.

Suika thought about it and realized she hadn't mistyped, so Viscount Scott must have been lying to her.

Thinking of this, a murderous glint flashed in Suika's eyes.

"Wait me a moment!"

Fortunately, because I was worried about this kind of thing beforehand, I had Scout and the others contact a place outside the city that they could reach.

After Suika called Scout to tell him about it, Scout was silent for two seconds before saying...

Give me some time...

As soon as he finished speaking, a scream like a pig being slaughtered came from the other side.

The voice was so clear that it was almost impossible to hear even through the communicator. Suika raised her eyebrows and glanced at the bank clerk not far away.

The other person was like a robot; even after hearing the voice on the phone, they didn't even frown, but remained sitting there waiting for Suika's instructions.

The screams quickly stopped, and Scout then reported a string of numbers.

This time it wasn't a fake password.

The clerk quickly transferred all the money and then handed the card back to Suika.

"Thank you!" After taking the card back, Suika politely thanked them and opened the door to leave.

When she opened the door, she saw that there were two bank security guards standing at the entrance.

"Wow, you guys have done a great job with security. You even have security guards at the entrance of a private business. That's an interesting idea!"

After letting out a sigh, Suika walked out of the bank.

"Vice President... didn't we just hear an alarm here... what happened?"

After Suika left, an employee who had been watching the area rushed over and spoke to George as he came out of the room.

It turns out that their bank has a special alarm service that provides the cardholder with an alarm password in addition to the bank's PIN.

If the alarm password is entered, the bank will directly seize the cardholder and the bank card.

Suika entered the emergency code the first time, but the security guards who arrived were locked out by George, who refused them access.

"One is an ordinary customer who has only deposited a few hundred thousand Gold Notes, and the other is a customer who holds United Chamber of Commerce VIP card."

You want me to arrest the latter for the sake of the former?

Believe it or not, the person behind her could bankrupt our bank with just a single word!

The vice president was well aware that if this matter were to be exposed, it would damage the reputation of his bank.

But he was certain from that phone call that the original holder of the card was definitely not alive, and the girl with the VIP card probably wouldn't have any further dealings with his bank.

So rather than offending a VIP, it's better to do the job properly and cleanly.

After coming out, Suika contacted Closure to say that everything was settled. Closure told her to meet at the south gate of Londinium the next morning.

Suika breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that there was still one day left, as the dolls left at the hotel had not yet been completely delivered.

But if you only need one day, it won't be a problem.

After learning the amount in his bank account, Scout went to have a good talk with the viscount and learned that he did indeed have more than two million Gold Notes when he came here, but he spent a lot of money to smooth things over and eliminate the impact of the Gaodoting Mine incident, and spent a lot more money to buy his current house and job.

In addition, having been used to extravagance in Gaodoting, he didn't change his ways immediately after arriving in Londinium and spent a lot of money, which is why he only has this little bit left.

After hearing his words, not only Scout, but even Closure couldn't help but kick him.

How long has it been? Less than a month, and this guy has almost spent all that money.

If the two million were distributed among the miners, Gold Notes per person, although not much, would be enough for a family to live frugally for several years.

But now it's shrunk by more than ten times, and this amount of money is less than the compensation the local government has paid for this incident.

You should know that the county magistrate gave each miner's family five thousand Gold Notes as compensation.

For a moment, the group fell silent.

"Sigh, let's go back to Rhodes Island first..."

Finally, Scout sighed and said...

"By the way, shall we walk back tomorrow?" Suika asked.

"No need for that. Raythean Industries sent us a large off-road vehicle, which Rhodes Island ordered from them beforehand. We can take this vehicle back this time," Closure replied without hesitation.

"Is the interior space big enough...?"

Chapter 173 Little Legion!

Of course!

This vehicle was built to carry a small squad.

"Do you think a small vehicle can fit a squad of weapons, equipment, and all that other stuff?"

Closure was very pleased. This off-road vehicle was a new product developed by Raythean Industries, which Rhodes Island was not supposed to have under its conditions.

However, it is unclear what agreement Kal'tsit reached with the other party, but Raythean Industries actually agreed to Rhodes Island's order for five of these large off-road transport vehicles.

The vehicle they brought back this time was the first one delivered by Blacksteel International.

"That's good. I need to take some things back with me... it's quite a lot. Will it cause any problems for you?"

Suika looked at the Shanghai Dolls inside the room who were using the fog she had created to leave Londinium from the sky in batches, and after thinking for a moment, she asked.

"I don't have much. I mainly came to pick up this car. I just bought some small trinkets, since I have to pre-order the bigger things... You have a lot of stuff?"

Closure noticed that Suika was repeatedly checking the size of the vehicle and seemed puzzled as to what she had bought.

"Well, I wouldn't say much..."

Suika touched her nose; thankfully, it hadn't grown longer. It seemed she hadn't lied.

"Then just bring it tomorrow!" Closure said.

The next morning, Suika appeared outside the city bare-handed, Closure watched her for a long time.

There's nothing there!

"Let's drive. It's not here, it's in the woods over here. I've sent the coordinates to Scout." Scout nodded after Suika finished speaking.

"What's going on? Why are you being so secretive?" Closure and Suika got into the car.

Upon entering, one sees Viscount Scott lying to the side, secured with a safety rope, fast asleep.

"We couldn't just let him scream in the car, so we gave him a sedative. I brought four anesthetics in my first-aid kit this time, each one can keep him quiet for about three hours," Closure said, pointing to the first-aid kit not far away.

"He's still causing trouble even after the anesthetic runs out?"

"Physical anesthesia is still anesthesia! Let me tell you, we recently got a new doctor named Gavial, and her methods for physical anesthesia are... wow..."

As she said this, Closure looked up and examined the other person's forehead, seemingly deciding which spot to knock on.

While chatting, the car slowly started and drove over, remembering the coordinates provided by Suika.

Half an hour later, at the edge of a small grove, Closure stared in disbelief at the dolls that were marching out of the woods in perfect unison.

"These little guys can move!"

Closure stared wide-eyed at the Shanghai Dolls with curiosity.

"Of course, these dolls are not simple. Don't be fooled by their cuteness, which is true, but their most important characteristic is that they are completely anthropomorphic—although they cannot speak, they can react to everything you say and have emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness."

Secondly, don't underestimate them; their fighting ability is by no means lacking.

As she spoke, Suika beckoned the dolls to jump onto the car, and they quickly sat there neatly stacked up, just like ordinary dolls.

Are you sure?

Looking at the dolls stacked up like a human pyramid, Closure had some doubts.

Seeing this, Suika beckoned with her finger, and then a Shanghai Dolls jumped to her side.

Then she held up the doll and handed it to Closure.

"Dolls don't feel pain or touch, but they like cleanliness. If you're as dirty as you were on Rhodes Island, the dolls won't want to play with you."

As Suika finished speaking, Closure saw the doll actually blink, then nod, and then raise its hands in front of its chest in an X shape.

"Of course, you're still relatively clean now, so the dolls will be willing to communicate with you." Suika looked at her. Closure had changed into a new outfit today and washed her face, so she looked clean and fresh, and the dolls didn't seem to mind her.

But even setting aside her usual oily appearance when she was on Rhodes Island, these dolls probably wouldn't like her dusty, grimy look from last night.

"Ugh, this is so troublesome!" Closure scratched her head. Having one germaphobic colleague on Rhodes Island was troublesome enough; these little guys were cute, but cleaning herself every day for them...

After thinking about it, I decided against it.

"You brought these back to Rhodes Island intending to hand them over to Rhodes Island?"

"That's right, I see there are quite a few children on Rhodes Island, and little girls would probably like these kinds of dolls."

Moreover, these little ones can help take care of and protect other children when adults are not around.

Suika does indeed have such a plan.

Other things are fine; even if I don't have them, I can carry them with me. But I have too many of these things, and I don't have a four-dimensional pocket or a four-dimensional skirt, so I can only entrust them to someone I can trust.

However, dolls have their limitations. It would look strange for an adult to carry one around, but only children, especially little girls, can carry a doll without anyone noticing.

Coincidentally, there are quite a few children on Rhodes Island.

That's why Suika made this decision.

"Speaking of which, you've always said these dolls are quite powerful. Do they really have combat capabilities?" Scout is different from Closure. Closure lost interest in how these things were made after learning that they weren't machines but products of magic.

But Scout is very concerned about the "fighting power" that Suika mentioned.

"I'll arrange for a few to spar with you tonight when you're resting, then you'll see." Suika chuckled. Don't let the Shanghai Dolls' cute appearance and intelligence fool you; their fighting ability is actually quite formidable.

At least in Terra, even if each of them is alone and doesn't use any skills, they are equivalent to a fully armed veteran with years of combat experience.

Not to mention the individual's Mach 2 charge and the group's sealing ability, similar to a natural barrier.

Seeing Suika's malicious smile, Scout felt a chill run down his spine; after all, people had suffered when Suika had shown that smile before.

However, he was indeed very curious about the fighting capabilities of these puppets.

"These little dolls are for kids to play with, they probably aren't very strong!" he reassured himself.
