"I've already said, it's not about the money."

"And do I look like someone who cares a lot about money?"

When FrostNova said this, the Yeti's eyes lit up.

100,000 Lungmen Dollar?

Why not immediately join the Reunion Movement?

Since we're part of the Reunion Movement no matter where we are, we might as well take the money.

Luo Chen finally realized that if a person doesn't care about money or benefits, then all that's left is their spiritual well-being.

But what kind of emotional connection does the other person need?

Is it because he lacks a father's love?

Although Luo Chen admired the other party's abilities, he had no plans to adopt her as his daughter at the moment.

"Since you don't want to join, I won't force you. We'll meet again someday."

Luo Chen shook his head regretfully, then turned and left with his men.

However, Luo Chen had only walked for two minutes when he felt his back getting colder and colder.

He then realized that FrostNova was still following behind them, and the distance was even shorter than before.

The chill I felt on my back was coming from that girl with the hood.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't join our Reunion Movement?"

Luo Chen stopped and turned to look at FrostNova.

"No, aren't you going to ask me why?" FrostNova said with a stern face, feeling a little angry for some reason.

"Then you speak." Luo Chen raised his hand, gesturing for her to speak.

FrostNova crossed her arms over her chest:

"I can't join your team because of money and benefits, haven't you considered another possibility?"

"You want to be my daughter?" Luo Chen asked bluntly.

"I have a dad now!" FrostNova exclaimed, rubbing her head.

"Oh."

Luo Chen understood everything in an instant.

If it's not paternal love, and it certainly can't be maternal love, then it can only be romantic love between a man and a woman.

Although the other party was very powerful, Luo Chen did not want to sacrifice his virtue.

This is a matter of principle.

After uttering an "oh," Luo Chen turned around abruptly.

"What do you mean 'oh'? Did you guess it or not?"

FrostNova froze the soles of Luo Chen's shoes and muttered to herself.

"Oh, that's right."

Luo Chen gave the other party an explanation that hardly counted as an explanation.

"Let me give you a hint: we came from the Northern Snowfield."

"Um."

"Why do you keep saying one word at a time?" FrostNova complained leisurely.

Luo Chen turned to look at her and stated his thoughts very directly:

"Because I feel our relationship hasn't reached that stage yet. Although I'm a kind person, I think it's better to keep our distance for now. After all, I don't have any plans to be in a relationship."

"In love??"

FrostNova's eyes widened as if she had heard something unbelievable. A blush instantly spread across her face, and she looked somewhat flustered.

The usually calm FrostNova suddenly had several ice beads fall from her forehead.

She gave an awkward laugh, then hurriedly began to explain:

"What are you thinking? This is my reason."

"We are also Reunion Movement, so there's no such thing as joining the Reunion Movement?"

"How could you think such an outrageous thing!"

As she spoke, FrostNova pulled out a Reunion Movement armband from her pocket.

However, observing her expression, Luo Chen became even more certain of his guess.

Chapter 159 Talking back, huh? I'll make sure you can't sleep all night.

Unlike Luo Chen's initial intention to invite FrostNova to join the Reunion Movement.

FrostNova followed them up this last stretch of road.

Because FrostNova said they were an advance team from headquarters, and Luo Chen was a local member of the Reunion Movement.

To make it easier to understand, let's just put them together.

Luo Chen did not refuse.

From a business perspective, they do need to first rendezvous with the advance team of the Reunion Movement.

"Commander Luo, your strength is too great! When I first saw you, I thought it was your Empire's army."

"With so many cars, you didn't all come by car, did you?"

As soon as FrostNova entered Luo Chen's temporary camp, she turned into a complimenter.

As for the other Yeti, they had long since become like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, looking around curiously.

They completely forgot about their mission.

However, FrostNova didn't blame them. If she didn't have to talk to Chief Luo, she would have gone to check out the equipment of these wealthy relatives from the south.

After all, they were eating grass roots and digging for wild vegetables just yesterday.

Meanwhile, General Luo was already living in a military tent, eating barbecue and drinking red wine.

No wonder Talulah always said she wanted to come to the South.

I didn't know the South was so wealthy.

Of course, this is inseparable from the leadership of Chief Luo in front of us.

Luo Chen led FrostNova into his command tent and gestured for her to sit in a chair:

"Please sit down."

"We have now completed our meeting and mission. However, let's be clear from the start: in order to better advance the mission and prepare for the arrival of the main force of the Reunion Movement, we need to..."

"We need to establish a leadership relationship between our two teams."

I have no objection.

FrostNova looked curiously at the decorations on Luo Chen's tent.

Anyway, their team only had a dozen or so people, so they didn't care about leadership relationships.

Moreover, she felt that entrusting the task of setting up the logistics camp to Luo Chen was the right choice.

"From now on, you shall call me 'Boss'."

"Yes, sir." FrostNova stared into Luo Chen's eyes, capturing his gaze, and asked with some curiosity:

"So, how will the leader address me?"

FrostNova accepted her arrangement without any resistance.

Luo Chen felt increasingly bored.

I thought that meeting the advance team of the Reunion Movement headquarters would be a bloody power struggle.

Unexpectedly, the advance team surrendered as soon as he opened his mouth.

This made Luo Chen's passionate punch feel like it hit cotton.

"May I have your name?"

They all call me FrostNova.

Luo Chen glanced at FrostNova's hair color, then gave her a common name:

"Then I'll call you Little White."

"What the heck? Little White?"

FrostNova was clearly unhappy with the nickname, and immediately bit her lip, causing the temperature inside the tent to drop by two degrees.

My close friends all call me Yelena, so why don't you call me Yelena too?

Compared to Talulah, who can outwit even the air.

FrostNova's straightforward personality doesn't match her reserved and delicate appearance.

Most people would give a girl who speaks her mind a chance.

But Luo Chen cares more about their current subordinate relationship:

"Little White, you're not allowed to talk back to your boss."

Luo Chen uttered a slightly cold remark, directly refuting FrostNova's words.

"Then why did you ask me my name?"

FrostNova turned her head away, speechless.

However, she didn't dislike Luo Chen's words; on the contrary, she found this way of communicating, which she had never encountered before, quite novel.

And thinking about it carefully, it's not like Little White can't accept it.

Once the leadership relationship was established, Luo Chen began assigning tasks.

Because the villages and settlements north of Chernobog are all under the control of the True God Church.

Therefore, their primary task in establishing a base here is to eliminate this illegal cult.

FrostNova also agreed with Luo Chen's method.

However, the two sides disagreed on how to eliminate cults.

Luo Chen's idea was to directly eliminate the cult's high-ranking members, and those who remained obstinate would also disappear.

FrostNova, however, said that his method was too extreme, and that Luo Chen's method today was much better.

But Luo Chen disagreed, saying that although this method might succeed, it would be completely meaningless.

FrostNova typed a series of question marks at Luo Chen's comment that it was "boring".

However, Luo Chen's words, "You're not allowed to talk back to your boss," left him speechless.

At this moment, FrostNova felt a pang of regret, realizing she should have seized the leadership role earlier.

Who knew Luo Chen was such a pretentious guy?

It seems that my understanding of Luo Chen is still far from complete.

After Luo Chen's one-man show ended, the tents where FrostNova and the Yeti lived were also set up.

He put down the walkie-talkie and spoke directly to FrostNova:

"Little White, your tents are all set up. Turn right outside and walk to the end."

FrostNova, who was seething with anger during the meeting, glared at Luo Chen and asked, "Boss, am I off work now?"
