Lungmen's About to Blow!

Although the Hunter put it subtly, what she really wanted to express was that the Doll was something irreplaceable in her heart.

Upon learning this, the Doll felt that its life had been fulfilled.

Of course... since the Hunter said that, she couldn't just die like that; she still had to do something.

So...

The Doll squinted, silently sensing the gradually receding Yeti Squad.

The last gaze settled on the Big White Rabbit that had licked the Hunter's blood.

FrostNova...

"Yo~ We meet again."

Inside the Lungmen Guard Department, a girl in fiery red burst into Chen and Hoshiguma's office, who were preparing for the event, with the blonde woman still closely following her.

Upon seeing Hoshiguma, her eyes revealed a clear hostility.

She remembered that it was Hoshiguma who brought the alcohol, and that's how she got herself drunk with it.

Although no major mistakes occurred in the end, it certainly gave her a big fright.

Therefore, seeing Hoshiguma again now naturally makes me extremely wary.

Hoshiguma simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

She simply turned her head and looked curiously at Nian, who was looking around. She found it rather strange.

"Is there something you need?"

"Hmm... well, it's not really a big deal."

Nian shook his head and crossed his arms.

"Remember what I said before? To forge a suitable weapon for Maria?"

"So... it's finished now?" Hoshiguma raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of curiosity.

But Nian simply shook his head.

"It's not entirely accurate to say it's finished; I just came up with a rough draft and then ran out of ideas. So I wanted to ask her what her requirements were for her weapon."

"But I can't find where she lives, so I had to ask you to see if you know."

"I see." Hoshiguma expressed her understanding, but she also felt somewhat helpless.

"I could have just made a phone call and told you this; there was no need for you to come all the way here."

"I hit him." Nian was somewhat helpless upon hearing Hoshiguma's words.

"But we've called almost a dozen times, and you haven't answered a single one..."

"Huh?"

Hearing Nian say this, Hoshiguma was also stunned for a moment, but after a while, she picked up her phone and confirmed that Nian's words were not false.

There was indeed a lot of information on it... but she had just been dealing with Misha's matter, so she hadn't had time to look at it.

"Excuse me."

Hoshiguma scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment on his face, but Nian waved his hand with a grin.

"It's nothing serious... By the way, do you know where Maria is?"

"Maria... she should still be at my house, right?"

Hoshiguma pondered, but after a moment, she felt something was amiss.

Speaking of which, after bringing back the Crownslayer and Alex from Maria last night, she's been acting a bit strange...

She made another phone call, asking a female colleague who lived nearby to check on her home. Upon learning that Maria hadn't returned, her expression changed slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Nian stood to the side, somewhat curious.

But Hoshiguma waved her hand and shook her head.

"No... she's not at my house. She should be at Penguin Logistics. You can go check there."

"Is that so?"

Although he still didn't get a definite answer, Nian didn't mind. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Hoshiguma, he turned and left.

The blonde girl following behind glanced warily at Hoshiguma a few times before continuing to follow.

Hoshiguma's expression also showed some helplessness.

What frustrated her even more was that when she turned around, Old Chen, who was standing behind her, also looked suspicious.

"Hoshiguma..."

"Are you... hiding something from them?"

Chen and Hoshiguma have been friends for many years, so naturally they would notice the other's emotional changes.

Just now, Hoshiguma clearly realized something, but she didn't explain it to the other party.

This puzzled Old Chen.

Hoshiguma, however, could only manage a wry smile.

"It's just my imagination..."

"Have a bee in one's bonnet?"

"... Um."

Chapter 175 The Lungmen is about to explode!

"Ms. Maria?"

Inside Penguin Logistics, Texas and Lappland were playing a silent game when they heard the news that Ms. Maria had disappeared. Her usually indifferent face began to crack.

She immediately stood up, her brows furrowed, and subconsciously glanced at Lappland beside her.

It was definitely Lappland who did it!

Lappland, however, seemed somewhat innocent in this regard.

"Don't assume I'm the source of all bad things. I don't only do bad things."

With a slight shrug, Lappland retorted to Texas, then said nothing more.

Instead of worrying about Maria's safety, she looked curiously at Nian beside her.

After looking her up and down a few times, she stood up like a petty thug and came to Nian's side.

"Moreover... is there something you need from Ms. Maria?"

"It's nothing major, just asking her if she likes having some patterns engraved on her weapons."

Year had no objection to Lappland's nonchalant attitude; on the contrary, he curiously observed the place that was supposedly Maria's workplace.

Although Maria didn't express anything, Nian still had a lot of faith in her sisters' abilities.

No matter how withdrawn or homebound Xi is, she's still a genuinely beautiful girl... As long as Maria isn't extremely opposed to this, Nian believes that with the help of her older sisters and brothers, winning over Maria won't be a problem for Xi.

Then we'll all be one family.

Since they are future family, she naturally needs to take them seriously.

Overall, Penguin Logistics is quite professional... After all, it's a company that has managed to establish itself in a place like Longmen where Lungmen is incredibly valuable, so its basic strength must be considerable.

Even a simple staff dormitory is arranged in a very orderly manner.

Croissant is out shopping, Exusiai is busy making her own apple pie, and Lappland and Texas are sitting quietly facing each other.

Perhaps because Nian herself was an unconventional person, she found these girls to be quite proper.

The only problem... is there something wrong with the proportions here?

Why are they all beautiful girls?

Could it be... that Maria stays here to work because there's a harem here?

After thinking for a moment, Nian realized that there was no point in speculating, so he simply looked at Texas and asked her directly.

What is your relationship with Maria?

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Texas tensed her tail slightly, and Lappland looked at her with a teasing expression. Even Texas, Exusiai was in the kitchen, curiously peeked out.

Of course, the halo surrounding her revealed her true position.

"I... I..."

Under everyone's gaze, Texas, who had initially thought the problem was no big deal, suddenly became conflicted.

After stammering for a while, she finally pursed her lips.

"I have great respect for Ms. Maria..."

"Respect?"

"Um."

Seeing Nian's strange expression, Texas quickly coughed and then looked at Lappland beside her.

Let's put aside my own affairs with Ms. Maria for now.

Do you know where Lady Maria went?

"I'm not a stalker. Ms. Maria is free; she has her own life."

Lappland put her hands behind her head and pouted slightly.

Why the rush? With Ms. Maria's skills... what danger could she possibly encounter?

More than that, she was curious about what Texas had wanted to say but hadn't.

What exactly is your relationship with Maria?

You tell me~

Texas gritted her teeth, and her foot, hidden under the table, couldn't help but kick at the chair Lappland was leaning back in.

A momentary loss of balance nearly caused Lappland to fall.

But she drew her weapon even faster, planted it in the ground, and used it to prop herself up.

But after all this commotion, Lappland was no longer satisfied.

She pursed her lips, turned around, and kicked Texas as well.

But Texas nimbly dodged.

Slender legs encased in black stockings began to intertwine with another pair of bare feet under the table.

"... So, she's not here either?"

When Nian saw the two arguing, he didn't think much of it.

I just remarked how nice girls are, and then I felt a little lost.

If she's not at Hoshiguma's house, and she's not with Penguin Logistics... then where could Maria be?

"Hmm... if you're looking for Lady Maria, she might not be in Lungmen."

"Not in Lungmen?"

When everyone heard Exusiai speak, they all turned to look.

There's some uncertainty Exusiai as well.

"I saw Ms. Maria while I was shopping yesterday... She left Lungmen alone with another group of people late at night, oh, and she was holding a woman in her arms at the time..."

"Woman?!"

Upon hearing this, Lappland and Texas, who were still locked in combat, both frowned.
