News of Reunion

"OK."

"It's... it's settled then!"

The girl nodded quickly, afraid that the other person would change their mind.

The man, however, continued talking indifferently.

"What's the big deal... Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've seen Shava. I remember we used to get along really well. I'll invite Shava along too, and Qiu Shuang and the others..."

After thinking for a while, the man suddenly became excited again, muttering several obviously feminine names as he did so.

After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we do miss each other a bit.

But the girl beside her gradually went from excited to indifferent.

While the man was indulging in the joyful anticipation of reuniting with his friends, the woman simply left the room with a cold face and without uttering a word.

In the corridor, she squatted helplessly against the wall.

"Ugh... really."

She knew, of course, that the other person wasn't thinking too much about it; they were just happy that old friends could get together again.

But the problem is... what she wants isn't a reunion with old friends, but something else—a step forward that transcends the boundaries of their relationship!

Why can't that guy understand?!

The girl was somewhat indignant.

At that moment, a tall, slender figure in black slowly walked up to her side.

You look... a little unhappy?

"I'm just angry with myself."

The girl didn't turn around, but kept her head down, lost in thought.

Although she knew it was all due to the other party's slowness, the protracted tug-of-war was leaving her feeling somewhat powerless.

Sometimes she really does consider whether she should change her target.

But in the end, I always tell myself to persevere a little longer... what if the stone suddenly becomes clear?

But it seems that the day when the stone will finally understand is still a long way off.

The other party, however, seemed somewhat puzzled.

"You're... angry at yourself?"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand such language."

"But if you're just feeling lost, don't worry, there's always a turning point in your life at the next crossroads."

A gentle female voice softly uttered the words.

But the troubled girl clearly wasn't thinking that far ahead; she simply turned her head away.

"Thank you for your comfort," she said casually, then turned and stood up to leave.

Perhaps because she had been squatting for too long, everything went black before her eyes, and she stumbled and was about to fall.

She instinctively closed her eyes.

Before she could even touch the ground, a gentle embrace lifted her up.

When she opened her eyes again, the woman, cold and beautiful as a flower, was holding her securely and gently leaning closer.

Are you alright?

She spoke, exhaling a rich, incense-like aroma...

Her long, slender eyelashes were close to her face, allowing her to see the other person's stunningly beautiful features more clearly.

The girl's face immediately turned red.

Chapter 87 News of the Reunion Movement

"Ah..."

Looking at that captivating face, the girl opened her mouth wide, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Maria tilted her head, reached out, and gently massaged the girl's ankle. The cool touch made the girl's body tremble uncontrollably.

Only after confirming that the other party was alright did Maria feel relieved enough to put it back on the ground.

"There's nothing wrong with your body; it's probably due to overwork."

As she spoke, she slightly lowered the brim of her hat to the girl in a gesture, then turned and left.

He left the other person with only a dashing and decisive back view.

"Woo!"

The girl watched Maria walk away, then suddenly covered her face with her hands.

It's so hot...

Even so, she still watched the departing black figure with a flickering gaze.

What a free and easy woman...

"Um?"

At this moment, the man who came out of the lounge looked at the shy girl with a puzzled expression.

After leaving the girl, Maria continued walking around the interior of the Lungmen Guard Department on her own.

After an initial hesitation, she quickly came up with a solution to her current problem.

Ultimately, Misha entrusted to her was to bring back the Skullshatterer.

As an older sister, she couldn't bear to see her younger brother continue living in that organization that spread terror.

Maria agreed to this... As for how to bring it back, Maria said she had many ways and that wouldn't be a problem; the most important thing was to find the Skullshatterer.

However, relying solely on her personal intelligence network, finding a unit within the Reunion Movement would still be somewhat difficult.

But she was lucky to have a few friends in the Lungmen Guard Department.

Both Hoshiguma and Chen are top-notch members of the Lungmen Guard Department and must know a lot of information that ordinary people don't. Perhaps I can get the information I need through their intelligence network.

It was because of this idea that she came to the Lungmen Guard Department.

But soon, she encountered a problem...

She didn't know where Hoshiguma and Chen's offices were.

The Lungmen Guard Department wasn't very large, but its internal structure was extremely complex. Maria wandered around for a long time without finding an office marked with Chen and Hoshiguma's names.

This put Maria in a difficult position.

Left with no other choice, Maria had to resort to the simplest and most brutal method.

Asking for directions.

However, asking for directions is not always smooth sailing.

When she asked several times, she always received answers like "turn left first, then right, go up the stairs to the end and then come down," or similar responses.

The strange road reminded Maria of many unpleasant memories from her past.

Even so, she still couldn't find where Chen and Hoshiguma were.

Finally, guided by the strange girl she had just helped, she found her destination.

"Superintendent Chen and Hoshiguma are working here."

Facing Maria, the unknown mouse girl blushed slightly, somewhat hesitant to meet Maria's gaze.

Meanwhile, the girl's companion watched them with a subtle expression.

After a moment, he finally realized!

I see... I see!

So you're Yu!

You're still wondering why I said I wanted to invite your other friends over for drinks and you got angry.

Oh, so she was just shy.

I see...

Hmm... I understand everything now!

The man lowered his head, looking thoughtful.

"Thanks."

Maria didn't think much of it; she simply nodded to the girl to express her gratitude.

The little mouse girl was a bit shy. After hesitating for a while, she turned around and asked Maria curiously before Maria knocked on the door.

"By the way... what is your relationship with Superintendent Chen and the others?"

"Our relationship?" Maria tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and then answered with an affirmative tone.

We live together.

"Ah?!"

The little mouse girl's innocent demeanor shattered instantly; her eyes widened as she stared at Maria in astonishment.

Unfortunately, Maria didn't explain much. Instead, she turned and knocked on the door.

Knock knock.

"Please come in."

A cold voice came from inside the door.

Maria hesitated for a moment because of the completely different tone.

However, she went into the room even faster.

The bewildered little mouse girl and the man were left behind.

"Sigh... there are always times like this." The man heard Maria's words. Although he hesitated, he still stepped forward and patted his stiff companion. "It's okay, you still have Shava and Qiu Shuang. Don't worry, they will definitely accept you!"

The man smiled and even gave the girl a thumbs up!

But all he got in return was a merciless punch from the mouse girl.

"Woo!"

Although the voice had puzzled Maria, it turned out that the little mouse girl hadn't lied to Maria; this was indeed Chen and Hoshiguma's office.

This office... seems a bit messy.

Piles of documents were laid out here, and both Hoshiguma and Chen were writing furiously.

The various documents were arranged into different stacks according to their content, giving them a particularly powerful appearance.

As Chen sensed Maria approaching, he didn't even look up, but continued speaking in his serious and cold voice.

"Just say what it is. If it's a document, put it aside, I'll deal with it later."

As she spoke, she was completely different from the little girl she had been in bed before; her assertive demeanor made her seem like a completely different person.

Maria remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"I want to ask you for some information."

"Um?!"

Upon suddenly hearing Maria's voice, Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked up in disbelief.

Upon seeing the aloof woman in front of her, her expression immediately became extremely subtle.

Suddenly, an inexplicable emotion welled up within her.

It was a feeling of shame called embarrassment.
